After all, Gustav V came to Germany in the name of a private visit, so the reception in Germany could not seem too formal. Therefore, Gustav V chose to stay at the manor of Grand Duke Baden in Berlin. This time, what made Carl Alma Branding feel relieved was that the Germans did not seem to be trying to make things difficult for him as a government official. If Grand Duke Baden insisted on not arranging a residence for him, then Branding could only find a hotel! After all, Gustav V visited relatives and friends, and Grand Duke Baden naturally had the right to reject certain people!

After staying at Baden Manor for a few days, the host and the guests did not do anything that made Brandin dissatisfied. They just attended various banquets, salons, hunting, etc. completely aristocratic entertainment activities and did not talk about any sensitive political issues. This made Brandin very satisfied and enjoyed it. Yes, you read that right. Although his political propositions are very friendly, Carl Yarma Brandin was also a nobleman! He is also very good at aristocratic things.

But the comfortable life these days will not make him relax his vigilance. Because this time, the most critical figure in the German side has not yet come out! Everyone knows that in the list of people Gustav V saw, the crown prince from Bavaria, the imperial marshal of the German Empire, and the regent of the Austro-Hungarian Empire are the most difficult to deal with! His outstanding martial arts and political skills have long spread to the top leaders of Europe. Faced with such an opponent, Branding dared not be careless!

However, the subsequent meeting surprised Brandin. When Prince Ruprecht and Grand Duke Baden met with the Swedish delegation, they did not directly choose Grand Duke Baden's private residence in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs or some formal occasions. Moreover, the atmosphere of the entire talks was very relaxed, and it was not as serious as general political negotiations. A large number of nobles from the German Empire were invited. It was more like a salon. What was even more unexpected was that this time, after Prince Ruprecht met the Swedes, the first thing they talked about was not Gustav V but himself!

"Mr. Branding seems very nervous." After a simple greeting, Ruprecht looked at the man who served as Swedish prime minister three times in history and won the Nobel Peace Prize. The crown prince knew very well that if he wanted to cooperate with Sweden in the future, you could bypass Gustav V, but he would definitely not be able to avoid the person in front of him. This person was something he had to win! Only in this way can his subsequent series of plans be carried out!

"This is my first time meeting with a marshal of the German Empire. Before the meeting, I thought that you had both the wisdom and political skills of Prime Minister Bismarck and the military talents of the old Marshal Moltke. You should be a symbol of iron and blood in the new era of the German Empire, but now it seems that you are a little different. You are just a little curious." Karl Alma Brantine said carefully.

"Actually, I'm a little curious," the Crown Prince looked at Branding and said, "In theory, this time, His Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy

"This..." Branding was a little speechless. His identity was indeed a little embarrassed. First, he was not a member of the Swedish royal family, and the so-called "travel" of visiting relatives was impossible to start. Second, although he was a government official, he was just a member of the parliament and not a person in the administrative system. Therefore, the so-called service and staff had little to do with him! Obviously, everyone here knew that his purpose was to restrict Gust V, but he would not say it directly. After all, Gustav V was the king of Sweden and a symbol of the country. When the king came out to visit relatives, the government still had to monitor it. It was a bit embarrassing to say it. Especially so far, Gustav V did not do anything to cross the line, that was to visit relatives...

Brandin definitely cannot accuse Crown Prince Ruprecht of the same reason. The reason is very simple. Crown Prince Ruprecht can definitely attend this salon as a friend of Grand Duke Baden. However, can Brandin say that he is Gustav V's friend? It is definitely impossible!

"It's really sophisticated." Branding said anxiously. In his opinion, the crown prince had already taken action, and in a very tactful way, it was a noble party, private and non-public. So, can you, the redundant person, temporarily avoid it?

Branding knew that if Grand Duke Baden and Crown Prince Ruprecht asked Branding to leave on the grounds of rejecting outsiders in private gatherings, he really had no good excuses! Unless he intends to be shameless and insist that the government requires him to "accompany" by the king!

If he said this, he would not say that he would just disguise the other party's face and let Sweden offend two highly powerful figures within Germany for nothing. His political path might be over! Sweden does not like Germany very much, but Germany's strength demands Sweden must respect it! Especially in this situation, the German side has not made any political demands and is in the name of a private party. If Branding holds on, once the relationship between Germany and Sweden deteriorates, he will definitely be the blame...

"I understand the reason and purpose of Mr. Branding here, but His Highness Gustav must be taken care of, do you think?" The crown prince said leisurely. This is absolutely true. The Swedes can scold their king in China. The Swedish government can forcibly arrange a nail for Gustav, but in the eyes of outsiders, the king is Sweden's decent, and this face needs to be taken care of, yes!

"Do you think this is OK? This time, Grand Duke Baden can invite so many German nobles from his busy schedule to come here. Is it good to let His Majesty Gustav V spend a pleasant night? How about I go and chat with you?" said the crown prince.

"This, your choice is really beyond my expectations." Branding said with a cold sweat. He was really a little confused. Seeing that the crown prince could already exclude himself from this talk, why did he choose to get out with him again? This shouldn't be! Of course, although unexpected, since the crown prince is willing to talk to him, then let's talk! Anyway, he is a member of parliament! He can't make any decision!

"Okay, since that's the case, it's better to obey your orders than respect." Branding said immediately.
