1834 Flickering 3
"The German Emperor is still the German Emperor, and the Hohenzollern family still has the imperial crown and the crown of the Prussian king. His Royal Highness never thought of replacing it. Because this is not realistic." Lieutenant General Hall said.
After looking at General Hausen, who looked hesitant but did not express his opinion, the Lieutenant General continued: "It has nothing to do with your belief or not. His Highness Prince Leopold will soon come to Brussels. If the talks with the German Emperor are more pleasant, then we will issue a joint statement, which is what I just said, and facts will test everything!"
"Also! Hausen! Your words are slandering His Highness the Crown Prince of Bavaria! If it were 50 years ago, I would send you an invitation to a duel! His Highness is never as dark as you described! Everything he did is for the empire and the kingdom! Your subjective emotions made your judgment go wrong, and you shirked too many problems on the Crown Prince!" The Lieutenant General said righteously. Hausen's fierce rebound on the way did make Lieutenant General feel extremely stressed, but it was expected. After all, General Hausen's political level is at least 80 points, so how could he be fooled so easily? Lieutenant General Hall had already dealt with it!
"His Highness Ruprecht has never stumbled on Grand Duke Carl. You can even send a vote in your army to see if your generals agree with your point of view!" Lieutenant General Hall was not outdone. Now, he was too lazy to even call him by respect and military rank.
"Maybe there are some problems in my description, but if His Royal Highness is willing to rescue him, some disasters can be avoided. It's just that the price is relatively high." Admiral Hausen said after thinking for a while.
"Haha, it's so easy to say! Grand Duke Carl has been very unfriendly to us since he led the army. Shortly after the war started, there were intercepting the supplies of the Bavarian Legion! There were countless disagreements afterwards. So tell me, if it were you, would you be willing to pay an extra high price to help a guy who is not only unfriendly to you, but even drags you back all day long?" Lieutenant General Hall asked.
"Each of us is not a saint, and none of us will help a person who is hostile to us. Moreover, in the view of His Royal Highness, Grand Duke Carl would be better if he no longer had the situation on the Eastern Front in the army. His military ability is simply negative! I can tell very clearly, Your Excellency, we hate him very much! However, in this case, we still reminded him, but what is the result? There is no moral point in our practice." Lieutenant General Hall said.
"Disgusted, disliked, very good, this reason is very powerful." Admiral Hausen was really unable to answer this question, because Lieutenant General Hall was right. Bavaria has the right to dislike someone, and also has the right not to help someone after weighing the gains and losses. This is right!
"As for what you said, the Crown Prince only has power but no empire in his eyes? I would like to ask, have you not seen that Prussia has started to create various frictions since the middle and late stages of the war? Whether it is the German Emperor or the Parliament, they all dislike Bavaria. They all want to weaken my country! You don't know the agreement reached by the two countries before, but what is now? Just a month ago, the German Emperor wanted to tear up the agreement between the two countries! Do you only allow you to conspire and not allow us to protect ourselves? If you think that Prussia is right, it is understandable, so good, we have nothing to talk about." Lieutenant General Hall said excitedly.
"Damn, this last sentence is translated. Could it be that the talk is broken?" Admiral Hausen really didn't expect the other party to react so strongly! In fact, although General Hausen was swearing to never give up, the general dared not really fight with the Bavarian Legion because he had already said the reason at the morning meeting. So, no matter what, he needed to calm himself and the other party first. So, Lieutenant General Hall and the hard and soft, General Hausen himself was a little cowardly first.
"This is a very regrettable thing." Admiral Hausen took a deep breath and tried to ease some of the atmosphere. In fact, what Lieutenant General Hall said had given Admiral Hausen enough materials, and the latter could already imagine a relatively complete logical chain. Starting from the middle of the battle formation, the situation had developed in a direction that was conducive to the Allies. However, if the German Emperor wanted to limit the development of Bavaria, the two sides began to have friction. Later, because Grand Duke Carl performed very poorly, Emperor Ao had to find another heir, and Princess Mary became an option.
At this time, facing the heavy pressure of the German Empire, Crown Prince Ruprecht decided to move closer to Austria, and the Austrian Emperor agreed to continue to maintain and strengthen his special relationship with the Kingdom of Bavaria. The latter would help Austria complete centralization! All this became natural. Admiral Hall attributed everything to the consequences of Prussia's unfriendly actions.
"However, now the Kingdom of Prussia has split and the damage caused by this incident is so great that in the future, the central power of Prussia will be greatly weakened. No matter what the outcome of this matter, the future Prussia will not be detrimental to Bavaria. Your concerns have disappeared." Admiral Hausen sighed.
"However, all this is irreversible. Princess Mary will eventually become the crown prince and the queen. And General Hausen, I would like to remind you that the Prussian leaders, both political and business, are hostile to Bavaria, and this will not be changed if they come to power. This has nothing to do with religion and historical heritage. The fundamental reason is that we have broken the monopoly rights of some people and we have infringed on their market. It's that simple. They regard us as competitors. You don't think that William II is taking action against us, it's just because of political problems, right?" Lieutenant General Hall asked back.
"So, in order to gain economic advantages in the Austro-Hungarian Empire market, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince finally chose this step? This is indeed a good move. The high-end products of Bavaria and the middle- and low-end industrial structure of Austria have been well connected, and the market and upstream industries have been obtained. At the same time, the tariffs and policies have been used to form advantages over Prussia, ensuring the economic security of the Bavarian Kingdom. You now have both money, markets, and army. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really far-sighted." Admiral Hausen nodded in admiration. He really admired His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who can still do this under various heavy pressures and constraints!
