"If Bavaria proposed this allocation plan to Austro-Hungary, there would be reasonable points. After all, Bavaria has supported the military construction of the Austro-Hungary Empire since the war and saved the Austro-Hungary army many times in the war. However, if this was proposed by the imperial government and Bavaria expressed opposition, then it would be obvious that the empire proposed such an allocation plan, because except for Bavaria, the acquisition of all our states on the Eastern Front is closely related to the efforts of the Austro-Hungary Empire." At this time, Duke Albrecht, who had not spoken, finally spoke. It was obvious that his attitude was quite close to Markensen.

"However, both Bavaria and Austro-Hungarian Empire also obtained supplies on the Eastern Front. The Eastern Front was not without gains, and the Empire had never pursued these spoils. The Bavarian Legion and Austro-Hungarian Legion took down the wealth of Russian cities such as Kiev, Donetsk, and Minsk and were eventually taken over by them. They had chosen an easy-to-success direction to launch an attack. Ruprecht was very smart. If this war was compared to a feast, he chose the best part and let us chew the bones." Grand Duke Baden's words were already a bit too much.

"Hisser Da Gong, what you said is too much. You forgot that more than 700,000 Prussian officers and soldiers had fought on the Eastern Front. We trekked and fought in the waist-deep snow in an environment of more than minus 20 degrees Celsius. The harsh weather even lost the resilience of steel. I have seen the officers and soldiers who were frostbitten in the field hospital. I feel that you are insulting the entire Prussian Eastern Front Legion!" Markensen's angry voice echoed during the banquet.

"Hisser Dagong, I can pretend that what you said just now is not heard. But as a commander of the Western Front, I agree with your point of view. Whether on the Eastern Front or the Western Front, any German warrior is worthy of respect." Grand Duke Albrecht was also a little dissatisfied.

"Okay, I believe that Grand Duke Baden's words just were a mistake. His original intention was definitely not disrespectful to the Marshal and the officers and soldiers under your command. Grand Duke was just worried about the current situation in Germany. Although the empire won the war, the loss was huge. What's even more terrifying is that the central authority of the empire is not there. Can you imagine a resolution that requires a decision by three parties? Everyone has their own ideas. We finally reached an agreement with some people, but it was unable to pass it because of the opposition of others. There is never an agreement in this world that satisfies all parties. You should understand this truth." The German Emperor finally spoke up to smooth things over.

"Your Excellency the Grand Duke must have communicated with Crown Prince Ruprecht, right?" asked Duke Albrecht.

"Yes, His Highness the Crown Prince does not agree with our proposal. We and the parliamentary faction agree with this proposal, and His Highness the Crown Prince is ready to use the veto power." Baden said after regaining his mood for a moment. "We don't want to make things so stiff. If we oppose it for the sake of opposition, the political ecology of this country will be very bad."

"So did His Highness Ruprecht make his allocation proposal?" asked Duke Albrecht: "After all, he and his country play a pillar role in this war. He himself is in charge of negotiations and is an important bridge to contact the Austro-Hungarian Empire. He should have his own opinion, right?"

"Uh...... At that time, for some reasons, he did not explain it." Grand Duke Baden realized his procedural mistakes. Even though he was not optimistic about Ruprecht's suggestions, no matter what, Bavaria, one of the three giants, should at least have the right to express his opinions. Even if he disagrees, he should also ask and listen, even if the German emperor and the parliamentary faction are standing together now!

"This is a mistake. So, can we make a decision after listening to Bavaria's opinion?" said the Duke of Albrecht.

"We will make up for the lack of this step." After a while, Grand Duke Baden said.

"The division of compensation of up to tens of billions of marks is not achieved overnight. All countries need to consider it themselves, so I think we should be more tolerant and consider this issue with a cooperative attitude. I came here today just because of the invitation of His Majesty the German Emperor, rather than a negotiation. Of course, I will pass on His Majesty's meaning to King Württemberg." Grand Duke Albrecht decided to mix it up to the end, not express his opinion, not express his opinions, only convey it, and then eat and go home! Well, that's it.

"Master Marshal Markensen, let us forget the unhappiness just now, okay?" said Moltke, who was standing beside him.

"Okay, Lord Moltke, this matter has passed like this. The words just now will not spread to the sixth person except the five of us." Markenson glanced at Grand Duke Baden, suppressed his dissatisfaction, and then said to Little Moltke.

When the banquet ended, Duke Albrecht and Markensen did not separate after leaving the palace. On the roadside, on the Duke Albrecht's car, Markensen had a brief conversation with the Duke.

"I thought war was the biggest enemy we face, but now, I didn't expect that after the war, the cracks within the empire would be so serious in the face of interests." Markonson said with some resentment.

"This is just the beginning. There are now three cores of rights in the empire. After receiving nearly one million square kilometers of land, we also received more than 30 million people. This is a big problem in the future." Duke Albrecht nodded and said.

"Then what should we do now? I think the confrontation cannot continue." Although Markens did not like to interfere in government affairs, his understanding of the crown prince after his long-term cooperation with Ruprecht made him convinced that the crown prince would never give up. Faced with this joint pressure from the German imperial faction and the parliamentary faction, the crown prince would definitely fight back! And what would this counterattack lead to? No one knew.

"The best result is that everyone takes a step back, and then come up with a plan that is acceptable in all aspects and pull it over." Duke Albrecht said helplessly.

"I was surprised that you said such irresponsible words." Markonson said.

"I am just a duke, and I can't even get on the table. Taking action rashly when the situation is unknown will only lead to worse consequences. Marshal Markensen, body shape, you say, don't try to maintain too close relationship with either side before the second round of the three parties. As an old Prussian, you will be jealous of standing on the side of Bavaria, and if you stand on the side of old Prussia, it will be easy for Bavaria to deal with you. So, at this time, your best choice is to find an opportunity to go to the United States or go back to your hometown in the countryside to recuperate." Duke Albrecht hesitated for a long time and finally said this.
