Chapter 2427 Teaching 3

"I think that in Bavaria, because the royal family controls everything and can dissolve the parliament when necessary, there is no need to demonstrate its rights through parliament and prime minister. But in Sweden, even if the royal status is improved and has a huge influence, the parliament and government are still the ones that determine this country. If the royal family wants to play an important role, then we will continue to play in person and compete for their position in parliament and government. This is our only way." Gustav V flatly rejected the crown prince's request for the first time!

"There is a saying that too much is too much." Ruprecht frowned. "I can understand your idea, but it is impossible if you want to get back the full rights in just over a decade to twenty years. After all, the Swedish people have become accustomed to the system of false kings! Hundreds of years have passed! This subtle influence is very great, so I hope you can figure it out that sometimes a little inappropriate behavior will waste your efforts for several years or even more than ten years!"

"Well, I think this question is still far away. I think we have plenty of time to discuss this issue in the future. And today, my brother, no matter what you think, you should let Crown Prince Ruprecht finish his words, rather than tangle on one issue." At this moment, Baden spoke out publicly, and he resolved the embarrassing situation in front of him well. In private gatherings, the host was the biggest, and both Crown Prince Ruprecht and Gustav V skipped this issue quickly.

"I think it is best for the monarch not to directly participate in party politics, but to be the ruling party politics, because our position is beyond the party and our eyes will not be obscured by party interests. We can consider on a broader level how to maximize the interests of the country, rather than cheapen some people or groups. Only when the people recognize that the monarch is for the sake of the country rather than like those cheesy politicians can you fundamentally gain a foothold!"

"In the political life of the country, your influence will not be small, because your actions can greatly influence public opinion and the votes of political parties. So they will all rush to seek your help. In this case, you will be able to get along with the people and influence the politics of the country without worrying about being directly attacked by politicians! This is much better than directly forming a political party, because in terms of class attributes, the party you formed is incompatible with other parties in the parliament. You will become the target of public criticism. Think about it again, why should a royal family that has been revived for a few years and a hasty party to confront those old political forces?" Ruprecht said.

"I feel that if you are just an arbitrator, then your status is not stable enough. After all, if other parties reach an agreement, then the identity of an arbitrator is unnecessary. I found that the top nobles in the German Empire generally go into politics or the army. It is always possible if the royal family members enter the political arena or the military as individuals, right?" Gustav V thought for a while and said.

"This is OK, but don't be too high-profile. It's okay to be a parliamentarian, but if it involves ministers from important government departments, you should be cautious." The Crown Prince said.

Ruprecht's overall idea has been finished here. In short, his purpose is to cultivate Gustav V, a friendly to Germany, into a person with important economic and political influence in Sweden, rather than really helping the Swedish king to regain his complete monarchy, because this is too difficult. Just think about world history, there are several countries after the monarchs lose power, which can reappear in real power monarchy? Very few! Therefore, based on the interests of the German Empire, a friendly Swedish king with a certain influence is enough. There is no need to create a friendly real power monarch. After all, it is a bit difficult to operate the latter, and it is a bit too much to pay, and there is a possibility of a collapse!

If Germany really wants to be a monarch with the power of power and the Swedish people and the government do not agree, then the relationship between the two countries will enter the ice age. Germany can't send troops to help Gustav V take office, right? That's purely funny!

Afterwards, everyone talked about some things casually, and the meeting tonight was basically over. If the plan was followed, tomorrow, Crown Prince Ruprecht would return to his official residence in Berlin, and prepare for a few days to go north to Port Kiel and meet with the bosses of the High Seas Fleet.

In this case, the Grand Duke Baden, who was the master, naturally had to send the crown prince. After dawn, others were arranged to temporarily accompany the Swedes, and Grand Duke Baden personally sent Ruprecht, Duke Albrecht and Prince Albert to leave. Before leaving, the two sides exchanged some opinions on the Swedish issue.

"Our plan seems to be somewhat different from Gustav V's request." The Crown Prince expressed his concerns in very euphemistic language.

"My relative has a big appetite. He wants to control a kingdom and revive a kingdom. Instead of just being an influential figure in the country." Grand Duke Baden said embarrassingly. As a close relative, Grand Duke Baden naturally hopes to have a foreign real power monarch, but he also knows that there is no reason or need for the German Empire to realize his wish. It would be good to provide some help within his ability on the basis of cooperation between the two sides. This is not only Ruprecht's attitude, but also the attitude of the German emperor!

"What we need is a friendly Sweden, not a Swedish king, Gustav V is just a bridge and catalyst in the process," said Duke Albrecht.

"Okay, I will explain this clearly to Gustav V." Grand Duke Baden thought for a while and said.

"It is not necessary yet. Although this matter is easy to say, it is difficult to do. Touching a few more walls at the beginning can awaken him. In fact, when his plan to reorganize the army failed, he was permanently marginalized and his upper limit was so high. As I said, he could only end up being an influential figure, not a ruling man." The crown prince said.

"Your Highness, there is another thing you need to deal with here." After a few chats, Prince Albert suddenly said as everyone was about to leave.

"What's the matter?" asked the crown prince.

"The Italians sent a foreign traffic phone, and they hope to send a delegation to visit you in a private capacity. Is it convenient for you to see?" said Prince Albert.
