And as a politician, every important thing you do will be recorded in the book! If you find that your strategy or measures are inappropriate, it may be liquidated! Therefore, a real politician either does not do it, and to do it, you must do the most confident things, especially not do things that you deny yourself. This is very fatal to the political life of a politician!

Therefore, from this perspective, Ruprecht, with all the pressures, pushed the ease of French-German relations to this level, and from the perspective of the crown prince himself, he would not easily change his course. Considering the crown prince's position within Germany, it is not easy for Germany to deny what the crown prince did before. This also gave the French a sense of security to some extent.

Of course, at the same time, Ruprecht also gave the French a dangerous hint, that is, now he is here to preside over the negotiations between the Allies against the Allies, and the conditions he gave were already the best. If the French did not know what to do and made the negotiations come to nothing, or if Germany changed to another person to preside over the negotiations between Germany and France, the conditions would definitely not be like this today! There are people in Germany who are hostile to France, and France now can't resist Germany!

So, Ruprecht's meaning is very clear, that is, while now, he is in charge of negotiations, while he is still patient with the French, the Germans take care of your emotions, you can just make do with it. Otherwise, once the internal political trend of Germany changes, or Ruprecht himself can't stand it, then maybe the crown prince will be criticized for his actions, but the French will definitely be even more miserable!

"I can understand the kindness you have released, and I also know the importance of France and Germany changing relations to both countries. But this matter is of great importance after all, and I cannot decide alone, but I can guarantee that I will pass your words to our government from a fair perspective." Crimonso's attitude finally softened.

"Okay, let's talk about the second question. Of course, this question is based on the reconciliation of relations between the two countries. Emperor Napoleon of your country also did this. That is, the customs alliance established by Napoleon in the early 19th century, with the purpose of reducing tariffs, opening up raw materials, and conducting free trade." Ruprecht thought for a while and said.

"So, the last time was dominated by France, and will Germany be dominated by this time?" Crimontseau said with a frown. Because in his opinion, the crown prince's opinion now made a bit unexpected! Because from a neutral perspective, this policy is good for France!

Not to mention anything else, just talking about steel and raw materials! France's coal-iron production is much lower than that of Germany. In addition to the fact that the industry is far inferior, more importantly, the French lacked coal and iron ore. Originally, France was not short of iron ore, but after losing Alsace and Lorraine, it was short of iron... During the war, the British had to provide France with 18 million tons of coal mines every year to ensure the normal operation of France! Therefore, if France wants to develop the steel industry, both iron ore and coal mines must be imported! Just like Charles de Gaulle's description of France in history, the First World War competed with coal, France had no coal. The Second World War competed with oil, and France did not have oil!

So for France, coal and iron are necessities and require large-scale imports! In peacetime, no matter whether the French are willing or not, they will import coal and iron from Germany and the United Kingdom. Now, as the relationship between Britain and France has dropped its freezing point, the possibility of the British providing coal is greatly reduced. The most economical choice is naturally to import coal and iron and oil from Germany! It is meaningless for the French to increase tariffs on coal, iron and oil in terms of coal, iron and oil, because tariffs will eventually be passed on to French industrial products, which will make French products lack competitiveness.

If the French accept the Germans' suggestions on establishing a customs alliance, they can not only obtain a large amount of raw materials at a low price, but also become easier for a large number of French products to enter Germany. After all, the Crown Prince proposed this plan to each other, and both sides jointly control tariffs! This is very beneficial to France, so good, now the question is, why do the Germans have to propose this plan that has many benefits for France? Climonsoe is a little confused!

"I can't understand it. You should know that although France is not as large as Germany in terms of overall industry, we are not weaker than you in technology. We just lack sufficient raw materials and markets, which has led to the shrinking of French industry. After all, the entire France has only more than 40 million people, less than 70% of Germany's. The French market has been occupied by its own products, and reducing tariffs and opening the market will not bring you any benefits. On the contrary, France's luxury goods, clothing, and agricultural products will enter the German market." Crimontseau thought for a while and said.

Of course, on this issue, Climonso's statement is a bit optimistic. France is still worse than Germany in terms of machinery industry. For example, the chemical industry and electricity developed during the Second Industrial Revolution, Germany has a huge advantage, but in this world, it has never been possible that you can sell well if you have good things. This French representative said one thing is right, that is, it is not easy for German products to enter the saturated French market, but it is relatively easy for French products to enter the German market. The reason is very simple. German territory has expanded twice and the population has increased by at least 40 million! Germans need too many industrial products to develop themselves!

"You have always considered this issue from the perspective of capitalists. You like monopoly and like to hold the market firmly in your hands like enclosure. However, doing so is not good for the country. Monopoly will weaken competition and limit the country's productive vitality. They will obtain excess profits, which will lead to excessive concentration of wealth, affecting the purchasing power of the grassroots, and ultimately leading to economic crisis. Therefore, from the perspective of the country, we need to regulate production, and introducing foreign companies to compete is one of our regulatory measures. Of course, this is based on the situation where our market is large enough." Ruprecht said.

"You should understand what I have done before. In addition to building a powerful Bavarian legion, another thing I did was to steal a large number of orders such as Krupp, Rhinemetallurgical, and Siemens! Doing so brings vitality to the whole of Germany!"
