It is predictable that even if all difficulties and dangers are overcome, Bavaria is really merged with part of the Austrian Kingdom, then in name, your wife's status must be higher than that of you. Don't think that a country can only have one king, nor do you think that a royal family can only have one king. On this issue, the Austro-Hungarian Empire itself has precedents!

This precedent is the father and mother of Princess Mary! Dad Fritz is the emperor of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the king of Austria, while Mother Princess Sisi is the nominal queen of Hungarian! The fundamental reason why Fritz can suppress his wife is the emperor of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and Princess Sisi is the nominal queen. But this matter cannot be attached to Prince Ruprecht!

First of all, even if all interference is eliminated in the end (including, but not only Prussia's opposition, pressure from the Austro-Hungarian Empire, interference from the Allies, etc.), the Kingdom of Bavaria successfully merged with some parts of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. It is impossible to say that annexation is still too small. Bavaria cannot do what Prussia could not do back then.

Then this is likely to be the case in this kingdom. Prince Ruprecht will be the king of Bavaria, while his wife, Princess Mary, may be crowned the Queen of Austria. The Germans in Austria would rather accept a member of the Habsburg family as their king than a Bavarian, even if the members of the Habsburg family may be closer to the Bavarian royal family in terms of blood!

Well, the current situation is that there are two kings in this new kingdom at the same time. This is not the most important thing. What is important is that both kings have real power! It is definitely not necessary to say that the prince is definitely the same, but at the same time, if the prince wants to expand his influence to the newly added area, it is absolutely impossible without the help of his wife! After all, the possibility of the Austrian nobles being loyal to His Royal Highness the Princess is definitely much greater than that of himself!

If you think about it more, the new kingdom will definitely establish a parliament. According to the German rules, the amount of representatives may be determined according to the population of each region. (This is the case with the German Federal Parliament, but each state has at least one representative) If this is the case, then Bavaria will be a tragedy! This parliament is not the Wittelsbach family, but the Habsburg family has the final say! The influence of his wife is greater than that of himself. Can this be tolerated?

This is just a political issue. If it involves economy, ethnicity and other aspects, it will be even more chaotic. The Germans in Bavaria and the Germans in Austria have different ideas, the Germans and the Czechs have different ideas, and the two ethnic groups have different ideas. Well, how much cohesion will this monster mixed with various things have and how much authority the central government has, it is worth discussing! Anyway, His Highness the Prince will never allow Bavaria to become another Austro-Hungarian Empire! It is absolutely not possible!

If there is any hope for the situation to improve, there is naturally a situation. If the prince and the princess themselves do not make any trouble, then the Germans will be stable. If the descendants directly inherit the throne, it will be better. The bloodlines of the two families are completely merged into one. The nobles and the loyal people of the two countries become one. At least more than 20 million Germans can be integrated in the top-level aspects. In this way, the contradictions within the nation will gradually give way to the contradictions between the nations, and the Germans with an advantage in population are likely to seize the dominance of the country. Then the cohesion will definitely be much stronger than Austro-Hungarian.

Overall, the risks are huge, the difficulties are difficult to overcome, but the prospects are still beautiful! Well, a bit imaginative. From the overall perspective, if the Prussian royal family was weak enough after the war, and Bavaria could incorporate a small part of Austrian territory. Or in other words, it would be possible to not be incorporated into Bavaria in name, as it would exist to be given to an independent state, but with Princess Mary as the leader, that would be fine.

Prussia would never want Austria. The reason is very simple. It would be a pity for him to buy it simply for a religious issue. The Austrians who believe in Catholicism naturally would not get along with Protestants. From a geographical point of view, if these Austria-Hungarian Empire wanted to join Germany after the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, then Bavaria was undoubtedly the best choice. There is no way, it is closest to it! And the Germans in Sudetenland would probably prefer Germany rather than the Czech Republic? If this country still exists.

Although I am a little unwilling to be with my arranged marriage, I am just unwilling to be with me. From the perspective of the Bavarian Kingdom and the family, this marriage with a strong political color is of great use, both now and in the future.

From now on, the forces of the Bavarian Kingdom can more conveniently enter the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and can start from politics, economy and military aspects to improve the country to a certain extent. These changes cannot ultimately save the empire doomed to decline, but make him stronger, at least perform better in War 1! His Highness the Prince plans to fight on the Eastern Front, and the only country that can be relied on on the Eastern Front is Austro-Hungarian.

Helping Austro-Hungary train a relatively capable army is of great significance to Bavaria and even Germany, and if some troops can obey their orders, it would be better. Well, the more the prince thinks, the more he feels that this marriage is not an unacceptable thing. Apart from this princess being tough, there is nothing else to do, at least he has a common ideal and a common pursuit.

"I need to confirm this matter, and even if the elders have this meaning, I need to adapt to this process. We were originally just partners. In addition, I think I am still young, so it is a bit inappropriate to talk about this issue." In the end, the prince almost couldn't say it, he was 28! Although I got married at the age of 30 in history, now I am still an old unmarried man after 100 years!

"Of course, we have plenty of time to get to know each other. I think His Highness will gradually change his views on me." Princess Mary said indifferently.

"Sister, you are really too strong. If there is really one day, I really can't determine whether the authority is in the hands of the Bavarian royal family or the Habsburg royal family. I'm not too greedy for power, but because I don't think you can't control it." The prince finally said.

"Our Ruprecht did not like strong partners. No wonder he had a lot of blue eyes for Ukrainian canary." Princess Mary suddenly realized.
