In fact, at the beginning of the war, the Swedes were optimistic about Britain, France and Russia. After all, whether it was population, resources or the number of troops, the Allies were huge advantages! However, as the war progressed, the Swedes suddenly discovered that the world was a little different from their cognition......

On the Western Front, the French and British barely blocked the Germans' fierce attack, while on the Eastern Front, the Russia, which had personally defeated Sweden from the throne of a powerful country, was fragile as paper when facing the Bavarian army's front! What the Swedes were incomprehensible was how a Bavaria, with a population of only 12 million, could accumulate such a strong army and easily damage the Russian army with its superiority again and again. This gave Sweden a thought that why Bavaria can, but why is Sweden not?

In this war, the German Empire's high efficiency and the tenacity of the army had become more cohesive than the Swedes imagined. It was difficult for them to understand why the German Empire was willing to participate in the war one after another. They didn't know that the privileged class would always be the one who made the most profits in the end? Why did the corrupt Junker nobles have such high efficiency? Shouldn't they be a group of social parasites?

"Absolute equality does not exist, society will always have its own classes. What I understand is not equal distribution, but rather that the efforts and rewards are consistent. Whether it is aristocrats or civilians, when they pay for this country, they should enjoy the rewards they deserve. War is not only the path to promotion for the nobles and capitalists, but also ordinary people can also gain benefits from the victory of the empire."

"Although I am a king, I am not aristocratic class. I am beyond all levels of society. I coordinate their relationships and adjust their benefits. Let those who are willing to make efforts and work in this society get as rich as possible. Military aristocrats can realize their value on the battlefield through military talents cultivated from an early age. Capitalists with business talents can show their strengths in the economy, while ordinary people can get a good education. I will provide them with channels for promotion. I will increase the number of middle class and their wealth as much as possible, because they are all hardworking and patriotic. For vulnerable groups, we should give necessary help so that they will not be abandoned by this society. From this perspective, in fact, our philosophy is very close." Ruprecht said.

"Maybe the victory of the empire was beyond the expectations of the Swedish senior officials. I will not tell you too much about military issues, because you have not learned military, and I have been in contact with military affairs since I was six years old. My first military enlightenment teacher was my uncle, Prince Leopold. Whether in Bavaria or Prussia, a considerable number of officers have received military education since childhood. You may not understand it, but you must respect the fact that we have won this national war, and this war, which is combined with thousands of battles, has minimized the so-called occasional and luck component! The power of the empire and its talent in military affairs are beyond doubt!"

"So, in the prediction of the outcome of this war, we are the ones who win, and you are the ones who fail. You can only find your own reasons and see if you are wrong in some aspects. Then you can truly get in touch with the true appearance of things." The crown prince said.

Negotiation is about using both soft and hard. The so-called softness is just to make the other party let go of their guard, make it easier to contact, and then identify with it. Just like the Crown Prince Ruprecht and Branding discussed the issue of governing the country just now. In fact, the Swedes' level of governing the country is still good. When their own strength is no longer possible to participate in the competition for hegemony of the great powers, it is correct to protect themselves and develop the economy and improve people's welfare.

But the so-called death is greater than people, and goods are greater than goods. However, in the face of the existence of Crown Prince Ruprecht, Finland has no way of livelihood, but is not as good as Bavaria in all aspects of the country's economy and technology! Although Brandin refuted it, he is a reasonable person after all, and it is worse than that of him! After some exchanges, he felt that Sweden was too compatible with the issue of governing the country and did not have a perfect national development strategy! He still agrees with the idea that the crown prince should guide and adjust the society, and economic and technological development proposed by the state, because Bavaria's success proves this.

Well, so many preparations have been laid before, so it is not for family matters! Theodore Roosevelt once said, "Word is in the mouth and the big stick is in hand!" Germany is preparing to pull his younger brother this time. Even if it is not a military alliance, then at least it is a financial friend. After the other party is not so resistant, Ruprecht must tell the Swedes that you must learn to face the reality! You must know that in Europe, since the death of the Roman Empire, a super hegemony that can truly control Europe has been born! To put it bluntly, those who follow me will prosper, and those who go against me will perish! We have expressed our sincerity, so it depends on your attitude next!

"We are now experiencing an era of great change, an era that Europe has never experienced. Before me, no country could have taken the entire Europe into its own control. The Spanish Empire was not good, nor the Austrian Empire. The Dutch and Sweden were only strong for a while. Napoleon seemed to have trampled the entire Europe under his feet, but it was just a flash in the pan. Even when Napoleon was the most powerful, Britain and Russia were still countries that could match France. But now the situation is different!"

"The Empire of the Sun never sets has become a historical term. They are now sunset, and day by day is getting worse. The Russians were severely damaged. They lost nearly 40% of their population and more than half of their industry. Before, we could press the Russians to the ground with one hand. Then, it is easier for us! The French chose to improve relations with us. From now on, Europe has ended the huge domestic consumption for hundreds of years. Relying on European technology, industry and economic strength, I think we can completely create a more brilliant future! This future is based on the joint efforts of all countries, mutual communication, and mutual help." Ruprecht said.

"What's the price?" Branding said with a complicated expression on his face. Branding knew that Germany wanted to establish an alliance system in Europe with the German Empire and the Austro-Hungarian Empire as the core. This would be a comprehensive alliance involving economic, political, technological and even military aspects.
