Chapter 2425 Teaching 1

"The Grand Duke Baden was a little hesitant at first, but eventually said that Prince Albert was also a relative, so Prince Albert would also attend the next meeting." Duke Albrecht said.

"Haha, it's interesting." Ruprecht smiled and said. "Let's go." Judging from the reaction of Grand Duke Baden just now, he was still not satisfied with Prince Albert's arrival. Because, in the end, although he agreed to let Prince Albert participate in the next meeting, he was a relative, not a royal member or a representative of the German emperor!

Perhaps this incident revealed a strong political intention, but for the crown prince, the most important thing now is to solve the problem of Gustav V. As for the twists and turns within the Hohenzollern family, let’s talk about it later. Anyway, the German Emperor can live for more than 20 years!

"Sorry, I have dealt with some things and have kept you waiting for a long time." Ruprecht said very politely to Gustav V.

"It doesn't matter, at least in the next meeting, we don't have to face that annoying guy." Gustav V said indifferently. Germany still respected the Swedish king very much. Before, a grand duke of the empire and the heirs of the two kingdoms took turns to accompany him, and now Prince Albert is here again, which made Gustav V very satisfied. He could not enjoy this kind of treatment in China anyway, or in other words, any Swedish senior executive who came over, Germany would not arrange so many high-powered people! At this time, Gustav V really felt like he was going home...

"Okay, now we start talking about the important things. I understand your demands and we also support your idea of ​​becoming a monarch with rights. After all, only after you have a certain right and influence in the country can the Empire and Sweden cooperate better." Ruprecht said straight to the point.

"However, both the government and the people are not friendly to the monarch. You know, the rights of the Swedish monarch have been passing by more than 100 years ago. And to this day, the monarch is more like a rubber stamp." Gustav V said.

"So, you need to slowly think about it now. Any excessive performance is not good for you. The first step we need to do is to let the government and the people eliminate the barriers to the royal family. It may be difficult to cultivate a favorable feeling in a short period of time, but at least they must feel that their king is not a troublemaker." Ruprecht said. Although Ruprecht expressed gratitude to Gustav V for his support to Germany before the war, this behavior was obviously unfavorable to Gustav V's personal prestige. After all, armament and joining any military alliance are difficult for Swedes who have been used to peaceful days.

Thanks to the later Gustav V no longer contacted government affairs in history, it was not deposed. Otherwise, if he might not have returned his son, the crown of the Swedish royal family would have fallen into dust! Of course, in this plane, Gustav V was much better because Germany won! This proves that his judgment was correct and had political and military vision! And even if the Swedish government was not satisfied at this time, it would not embarrass the king too much, because the group of German relatives behind the king were very powerful!

"The Swedish royal family should be more friendly to the people, so that they can feel that the royal family members are by their side, not high above them. This is the first step to gaining identity. No one likes an existence that is naturally superior. Even in Bavaria, they support me and trust me just because I can lead the country to prosperity and bring benefits to them. Not simply because of my bloodline." The crown prince said.

"As a king who is misunderstood by the public, you should not hide in the palace and rely on the towering palace walls to isolate society, but should go out and boldly want the people to show your concern and role in this country! Of course, at the beginning, there must be no too much political component. This will alert politicians!"

"We can start from the perspective of culture and education, such as investing in the establishment of machinery and electrical majors in Stockholm University. Establishing a royal fund to reward those with good character and academic performance or those with family difficulties. These are things that can make great profits if you don't invest much. I think neither you nor us will be worried about the matter of millions of marks, right?" Ruprecht said.

To be honest, in this era, there is actually not much money to set up funds. For example, the famous Nobel Prize in later generations. Do you know how much inheritance the Nobel Prize at the beginning? It was only 9.2 million US dollars, which is more than 3 million pounds and more than 60 million marks! The crown prince did not ask Gustav V to get a big prize, as long as it could be reasonable, such as building a 10 million mark fund, or something. Then it was handed over to a dedicated person to manage, and then a part of the interest was drawn from it every year as a scholarship or something.

Is there a 10 million mark? Anyway, Ruprecht thinks it is very ordinary. At least with the help of the Swedish royal family, Gustav's German relatives, and the German government, there is no problem in creating this fund! It's nothing to do with it, it's also a witness to the friendship between Germany and Sweden. With the support of German states, it's really not difficult to do it.

Moreover, the Crown Prince chose very good majors. First of all, Stockholm University does not have any majors related to machinery and electrical appliances at present. Secondly, these majors have a wide range of prospects. It is difficult for Swedish companies to find high-level mechanical and electrical engineers from their local areas, which is also one of the bottlenecks that limit Swedish industrial development in this era. After all, compared with Bofors, which rose before World War II, Sweden in the first era really has no industrial products that can be particularly promising. Therefore, this move will definitely be recognized by the Swedish business community.

Since this matter was for Gustav V to operate, there was nothing to think that the teachers from these new colleges must have been hired from Germany and Australia. After all, the current German industrial technology is really world-class, so the further expansion of the channels of private exchanges between the two countries is of great significance to improving the relationship between the two countries!

As for whether this is useful? It must be useful. Gustav V's son took this people-friendly and academic route. With the support and help of the German government, Gustav V should do better! Of course, in order to do things more perfectly, Gustav V can also engage in some charitable activities and charity activities. It is best that all members of the royal family take action. Anyway, many European royal families in later generations do this. Hum!
