"Earl Schelling, I'm really surprised that you came here today." Buller looked at Earl Schelling, who was sitting opposite him calmly and drinking coffee with some complex eyes.

"This is the invitation of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Earl Schelling delivered a gilded invitation with the Vettelsbach family's emblem to Buhle.

"To be honest, I never thought I could receive an invitation from a crown prince before that." Buller said after reading the invitation content. "Especially, this invitation content still invites me to a salon of a group of nobles. Such treatment may not be much for Marshal Moltke, right?"

"I feel that I am not from the same class as them. Even though I am now a senior official of the Prussian Federation, I am far from them. I don't think we will have too much communication in the future, especially in non-work." Buller said carefully.

To be honest, he really doesn't want to participate in this kind of invitation to the salon. On the one hand, from a political standpoint, the Social Democratic Party where Buller is located is in conflict with the royal aristocratic family. A Social Democratic member attending a noble party alone will also cause some unnecessary trouble! On the other hand, from a personal point of view, as Buller said, even though he is already a senior, he and Ruprecht and others are really not the same type of people. Especially things of salon nature, they are actually more inclined to be casual. Buller thinks he is a loser and can't play with them!

Of course, although I don’t want to go, Bulle obviously cannot refuse directly. The so-called "not looking at monks and Buddhas" faces, the invitation letter written by Crown Prince Ruprecht himself, and then it was delivered to the door by the current Bavarian court chief and the future Bavarian Prime Minister Earl Schelling. That is what you can say if you don’t go? Although Bulle is from a grassroots, he does not understand the worldly ways.

Although there were many attacks on each other in his previous interactions with Ruprecht, he knew that the crown prince still protected him very much, and the debate between the two sides was also on official matters. For the crown prince, Bulle himself respected him. Putting aside the other party's identity, at least the crown prince's abilities and achievements even Bulle believed that he was fully worthy of his current status and power!

"There are many things in this world that you are not used to, and you can not do if you are unwilling to do. People are people of society, and we need to interact with all kinds of people. Even if you don't go this time, can you avoid interacting with people in the future? Instead of avoiding it, why not face it directly? Sometimes people cannot retreat, because if you retreat once, then subconsciously retreat a second time." Earl Schelling said.

"What's more, the question discussed in this salon is very meaningful. Europe, the center of the whole world, the German Empire used iron and fire to make the whole Europe tremble under our sabers, but fear is not our purpose. Integrating and utilizing the entire Europe is our purpose. And this salon is undoubtedly to unify the future European strategy within the empire. So, don't you think this is very meaningful?"

"So do I need to prepare something?" After hesitating for a while, Buller, who had realized that he could not be pushed away, finally admitted the reality. After all, it was his first time to participate in a salon of this level, and he had no suitable person to ask and ask. If Earl Schelling was willing to help, then this court minister from Bavaria was undoubtedly the best teacher.

"I guess this count will tell him some precautions, otherwise it will be him who is embarrassing, but also the Crown Prince Ruprecht who is the introducer." Bühler said.

"I will arrange for a dedicated person to take charge of the relevant etiquette issues," said Earl Schelling. "This time it seems like a salon, but it has a profound impact on the future political, economic and diplomatic landscape of the empire. This time we are going to solve specific things, considering the work you have done before. You can analyze some issues from a military and geopolitical perspective."

"But I am just a colonel. Even now I have access to too little things and information, too low-end," said Buller.

"Well, ask a question, if I remember correctly, the topic of your thesis you graduated from military academy was to discuss Italy and Türkiye's war on the North African war? Is that true?" Earl Schelling said.

"Yes. I have conducted a brief analysis of the combat effectiveness, mobilization ability and national will of the Italian army." Bühler was not surprised that Earl Schelling knew that he had graduated from military academy. Since the Bavarian crown prince focused on him, he probably had his old background checked several times. It was not too easy to know his past experience!

"Then you can play a role in this issue. Prince Albert's topic is Italy, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will also mention Italy, so this will be a very good point. As for the relevant information, we will give you some. If you have other needs, you can call this phone and tell them the title or archives you need, and they will send it to your home. Now you have at least one week to prepare. This is your debut. Don't let our kindness down, and don't let yourself be looked down upon." Earl Schelling said with a smile.

"So are there any other topics to be interested in besides the Italian issue?" asked Buller.

"There are specific information on the documents, you can check it out, but I personally think Türkiye will be a good topic," said Earl Schelling.

"About Turkey? I have read some information recently. Although Turkey is a victorious country this time, it has gained most of the Balkans and consolidated its position in Libya, I personally think that this empire has entered a twilight period. This war is just a return. The improvement of the Turkish Al Shabaab cannot fundamentally save this country. Perhaps a domestic riot in the future will lead to the collapse of this country." Buller thought for a while and said.

"This view is very good. I also think that the Ottoman Empire cannot survive for a long time." Earl Schelling said after thinking about it.

"So what is the attitude of the empire's senior leaders towards Türkiye?" Bulle asked.

"This question should not be asked." Earl Schelling smiled slightly: "Assing others' orders and making plans is what the staff should do, but now you are the top leader and you are the controller of national strategy. This matter requires you to make your own decisions, not follow others. Use your own brain to think about the problem and then collide with other people's thoughts, so that your ideas will be sublimated."

"Thank you," Bühler responded.
