"Wait a minute, I haven't finished speaking yet." Seeing that Grand Duke Baden wanted to speak, Crown Prince Ruprecht made a gesture, signaling the other party to continue listening to his words: "The entire oil field was built by Bavaria, and we can give up part of the oil mining rights. However, this cannot be given to some people for free. These efforts must be discounted or used as capital for certain minerals! At the same time, other mines under Bavaria control will also be handled in the process of transfer."

"So I would like to ask, are there any restrictions on participants during the transfer of these resources? How will Bavaria allocate these mineral resources and fixed assets?" asked Grand Duke Baden.

"There is no restriction on participants, it can be a state, a company, or even an individual. As long as we can come up with our basic consideration, I will give the specific list after the meeting." Ruprecht thought for a while and said.

Ruprecht was preparing to sell about half of the interests, so these things could not be given away for free. As a future king, what would Ruprecht need? On the one hand, it was money, and on the other hand, it was an interest group that could share weal and woe with one another! Through the mutual holding of capital, small groups would be tied to the chariot of Bavaria.

For example, what should I do if the Württemberg royal family wants to invest in a tungsten mine but does not have sufficient funds? Bavaria can give some shares for free in exchange for political or administrative concessions by the other party. This is a kind of exchange of interests. Now, the Kingdom of Bavaria has a lot of chips in its hands, so we naturally need to make good use of it!

"We accept this." Grand Duke Baden agreed very neatly.

"If it was entirely Bavaria who was responsible for selling these assets, then the process would be not transparent. We suggest that a supervisory committee should be formed to manage this matter." Albert jumped out again and said.

"I would like to remind you that these assets now belong to Bavaria and have no relationship with Prussia and the Empire! We decide who we want to sell to and what price we want to sell, which is our own decision! Don't you talk about freedom? Does a merchant have no freedom to dispose of his own goods? Can the imperial government still control how the countries below deal with their assets?" Crown Prince Ruprecht sneered.

"Due to your unfriendly attitude between you and the Social Democratic Party, I have decided to make some changes now, that is, all industries under Bavaria must add an additional agreement to the sale agreement, and all Social Democratic Party personnel will not be welcome!" The crown prince's counterattack came directly! And as soon as this sentence was spoken, it caused a commotion in the audience.

"You are blatant discrimination! You have violated the constitution of the empire!" Albert said angrily.

"There is no such thing as the imperial constitution. In addition, everyone present, whoever agrees with my opinion can raise his left hand to vote. Those who oppose it can raise his right hand!" Ruprecht said, raising his left hand. As soon as he finished speaking, Grand Duke Baden, Grand Duke Wurttemberg Albrecht and King Saxony first raised their left hand, and then representatives of the Bavarian and the German Emperor also raised their left hand one after another.

On the other hand, what about the parliamentary faction? Apart from Albert's alone, even his previous allies did not choose to stand on Albert's side. Without raising his hand, it would give Albert a face to abstain!

"I have never seen such a domineering and arrogant behavior! This is a blatant provocation of the Imperial Council..." Feeling himself who was already in isolation, looking at the contempt, gloating, and indifferent people in the venue, Albert only felt that his blood was pouring out, his face turned as blue as an eggplant.

"Okay, since that's the case, then this resolution will be passed." Ruprecht said with a smile. Then the crown prince glanced at Albert, who was a little angry, and then continued: "I want to remind Mr. Albert. The venue must be quiet. If you continue to make loud noises, then I can only let my guards ask you to go out and calm down."

In fact, the actual effect of this ban is very average. After all, if the Social Democratic Party wants to participate, they can instruct others to participate. If it is really not possible, it is also possible to temporarily quit the Party. It is not too difficult for them to avoid this restriction. (The premise is that if Bavaria is not serious, otherwise it is OK to come up with a strict agreement, or to cause trouble.) The most important thing is that this is a signal, a signal that indicates the attitude of the Kingdom of Bavaria and the Crown Prince himself.

There is a saying in later generations: When you can make money with your own attitude or influence others, you are a successful person. As the most successful crown prince in Germany and Europe, his attitude will obviously affect a lot of people. Not to mention anything else, if Germany and Austro-Hungarian Empire want to contact the Social Democratic Party, you should first think about whether doing so will cause dissatisfaction among the Bavarian royal family? You should know that at the level of the crown prince, it is enough to make those self-righteous people unable to take advantage of it! And for this reason, Grand Duke Baden said that he would cooperate with all his strength...

By this time things have come to an end, the dust has been settled. All the mines sold in Bavaria account for about half of the mines currently controlled in the area. Of course, some resources may be controlled more and some are less. For example, Baku's oil is controlled by 70% of the oil, Bavaria controls 70%. Some important non-ferrous metals, aluminum ores, copper ores, etc. are relatively scarce in China, so you should also control more. Other coal mines and iron ores are sold more. Don't think that these are not profitable. You should know that Germany is now very large. The Transcaucasus region is thousands of miles away from Germany. It is obviously impossible to rely on coal mines in the Ruhr area to supply them.

What? You can burn oil directly if you say it? Please! Oil is very valuable. Isn’t it a waste of resources to burn heavy oil directly when it is mined? Therefore, the fuel used in the Caucasus region still depends on coal burning. So from an economic perspective, these coal and iron ores can still make a lot of money, and they don’t even need to consider transportation issues, and they will be sold directly after they are produced.

It takes a long time to deal with these mineral resources. After all, everyone comes here to discuss big things, not business. So these things will naturally be processed slowly later. After allocating the interests of mineral resources, the remaining things to do are the safety issues of the Transcaucasus.
