"When you gain the understanding and favor of the people, you can participate in national affairs to a limited extent, such as some economic or trade activities. When we and the Swedish government cannot reach an agreement due to certain conditions, you should stand up as a coordinated relationship between the two sides. We will help you in this regard," said Ruprecht.

Even if it gains favor from the people, the vase is still a vase, but it is just a vase that makes people like. If Gustav V cannot play a certain role in the life of the Swedish country, then the salted fish will be a salted fish after all. Therefore, in this regard, the German Empire needs to make some investments to make Gustav V's influence among the people rise from a vase to a person who has a certain role in the development of the country! Of course, it is best not to involve politics at the beginning, which will make some people feel uneasy, and at the beginning, you still need to start from the economic point of view.

"Now there is a chance that the United States is about to launch a Pacific War, and the United States will definitely limit fuel exports, so it is very likely that Sweden will buy from us, and when the right time, you can participate in the negotiations." Ruprecht said.

"I would like to express my gratitude to the Swedish royal family for your help," said Gustav V. "Then I want to know what to do next?"

"Next step? Continue to strengthen the power of the royal family. We have several major projects, and the Swedish royal family can participate. One of them, Siemens is preparing to set up a company in Sweden. You can discuss related matters in detail," said the Crown Prince.

Although money is not omnipotent, it is definitely not possible to have no money! Just like the first thing Ruprecht did was to make money, and other things, whether it was building a navy or expanding the army, it was a back-end thing! From 1890 to the present, except for the war period, how to make money is a matter that always runs through the main line of development of the Kingdom of Bavaria!

It is very difficult for the Swedish royal family to make breakthroughs in political rights, but it is almost impossible to intervene in the army. However, it is completely fine to start an industry. In this era, the royal families of all countries will not be poor. After the war, when everything is in trouble, they usually have projects and funds to make money! This was the case in the golden age of capitalism in the 1920s. Whether it is defeating the country, Britain, the United States, France, or the defeated Germany, it is of course an exception...

With the help of German companies, it is not a problem to start a company in the Swedish royal family. Perhaps in other countries, a company has limited influence on the country. (Krupp's level is also counted) But in Sweden, for a small country with a population of only 7 million, any enterprise of slightly larger size will have a great impact on Sweden's finances and economy. After all, Ericsson has not yet risen in this era, Saab and Volvo have not yet appeared, and the industrial scale is quite salty.

If the Swedish royal family can seize this opportunity to invest in some key areas, then conservatively, it can greatly increase the royal assets. From a big perspective, the royal family will play a very important role in the economic life of Ruidan. In a capitalist country, if you have a say in the economic field, it is equivalent to having a say in politics. How can you say it? That is, the economic foundation determines the superstructure!

Of course, this kind of cooperation is mutually beneficial. Did the Swedish royal family obtain a lot of funds and economic voice? At the same time, German companies can also use the Swedish royal family's relationship to invade Sweden, thus binding the economies of both sides. When the economies of the two countries reach the point of the German economy and the Swedish economy also have to cough, I will never be afraid that Sweden will not stand on Germany's side during the war for so long!

To be honest, economic aggression has become an important means of expansion of a strong country in this era. A country may fight back when facing military and political oppression, but the sugar-coated shell of economic aggression cannot resist! It is even more pleasing to accept it!

"Think about it, Your Majesty the King, if your every move can affect the livelihoods of hundreds of thousands of Swedish workers and their families, then who else can underestimate your strength and influence within this country?" said the Grand Duke Baden on the side.

"This may be a relatively long-term process," Gustav V said.

"It will be a long-term process, but the effect will be very fast. If you cooperate closely with us, you will be able to achieve initial results within five years." Ruprecht thought for a while and said.

"What about the next step?" Gustav V finally became interested. After all, few people couldn't get along with the money! No matter what the situation is next, the king was very happy to see his wallet bulging!

"The next step is that you can have limited access to political things. You can express your views on current affairs in the media or other ways. Of course, your attitude must not be excessive, be gentle, have praise and prompts, but it must not be an obvious attack! You need to make the Swedish people and the government gradually get used to your existence, and think that you are a person who cares about current affairs but rarely transgresses!"

"At this time, some people may be dissatisfied with your participation in politics, but at this time, the royal family's wings are full. You can exert your influence through various channels such as economy, political parties, media, etc., and then erase the remarks that are unfavorable to you. Of course, the means must be moderate, and at the same time, they cannot be too targeted at some people. Sweden is a country that advocates consultation and is not radical. All radical ideas, whether right or wrong, will cause dissatisfaction among the Swedish people." said the crown prince.

However, at this moment, Prince Albert, who was leaning aside, whispered to Grand Duke Baden: "Your Excellency, it seems that His Highness the Crown Prince has repeatedly emphasized not to be radical?"

"Yes, we will talk about your questions later." After Grand Duke Baden said that, signaling the prince to be quiet and continue listening quietly.

"So the next step can I establish my political party and help this party gain an advantage in the parliament, thus forming a government that obeys the royal power?" Gustav V was already a little eager to try! He seemed to have seen the moment when power returned!

"No, don't do this. You should be clear, that is, you are the king, you do not belong to any class, but only to this country! Don't say that in Sweden, which has lost its royal power, even in Bavaria, the royal family has the core rights of the country, but we still have no intention of directly forming our own political party or directly participating in the struggle of the parliament! Because this will make you go from a referee to a player!" Ruprecht flatly rejected Gustav V's proposal!
