2897 Brother 1
"Our plan and consumption are prepared according to the three-month war. If some accidents occur, which will lead to the inability to withdraw troops from Turkey within three months, the Prussian Federation will provide up to two months of military expenditure." Buhler said at the end of the talks.
"At most 5 months? I think it's enough." The German Emperor said. In fact, without using the central finance and the parliament to pass the new appropriation resolution, the finance of the Kingdom of Prussia would be enough to fight for seven months in Turkey. In fact, if you want to end this war with the smallest impact on domestic economic life, you will be required to decide. If Bavaria only carries out this war with its own strength, it is best not to go through 8 months.
"If there is no other problem, we can deploy it as long as we finalize some details, right? My eldest son will go to Munich and Bavaria within ten days to hand over. If you are convenient, will we go together?" asked the German Emperor.
"Sorry, we think it would be better to explain our position to Bavaria in this kind of matter. Of course, in order to express our cooperative relationship, we will also send people to go with us." Buller replied. Although the Social Democratic Party is very sincere this time, being sincere does not mean that there is no precaution or a backup plan. If everything goes well, then there is no need to say more, and make a vote with the German Emperor. If it doesn't go well, then there is room for maneuver in the future, right? Besides, the Social Democratic Party is unwilling to leave others with the impression that they are following the German Emperor.
"They are still swaying." The prince said, looking at the departure of Buller.
"It is normal to be unsteady. Now, there are very few forces that we can really rely on in the entire German Empire. Cherish every loyal deployment around you and treat your family well. Only by having the Hohenzollern family will have hope of returning to the peak. Do you understand what I mean?" The German Emperor said to the crown prince.
"I will have a good chat with Albert," said the prince.
After the talks, everything was carried out according to the German Emperor's established plan. On the second day after the talks, Berlin sent a note to Bavaria, expressing his willingness to take over Middle East affairs. In the note, it emphasized that Berlin would respect all Bavaria's rights and interests in the Middle East. The previous agreements signed with the Turkish government will be fulfilled. Bavaria's previous costs in the Middle East will also be compensated to a certain extent. After the war, the investment and commercial activities of the Bavarian Kingdom in Turkey will not be restricted. Before this note, the German Emperor was worried that Bavaria would repent at the last moment. However, what he did not expect was that the crown prince expressed his willingness to hand over the relevant work and was willing to negotiate with the Austro-Hungarian Empire on some things.
When the German Emperor received the Bavarian reply, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. All preparations immediately got on track. The army began to assemble, equipment and supplies began to be raised, and the General Staff of the Kingdom of Prussia began to operate at a high speed to prepare for the war. The diplomatic department also began to contact the Austro-Hungarian Empire and Turkey, paving the way for the upcoming military operations.
Five days after the meeting, the Prussian Federation also began to prepare for war. According to the agreement, they will dispatch 50,000 troops this time, including 40,000 front-line troops. The colonel of the Front 6 Army also returned to the army that he had been away from for a long time. This time, he will serve as the commander-in-chief of the parliament on the front line. The Imperial Navy also began to mobilize, and all warships carrying out training missions overseas were ordered to go to the port of the Austro-Hungarian Empire in the Mediterranean for replenishment and maintenance, and then wait for the order directly.
A week after the meeting, the final plan for the joint operation was released. The German Emperor was personally responsible for overall command, the young Moltke was responsible for military dispatch, and the crown prince was responsible for work such as politics, diplomacy and personnel. The crown prince would stay in Berlin during the war.
Prince Albert did not return to Berlin within 7 days. On the eighth day, the governor of the Baltic Governor of the Kingdom of Prussia came to Wuyou Palace to meet his father. The itinerary for Bavaria ahead was scheduled for 2 days. Then, they would stay in Bavaria for 4 days to deal with some things. However, before dealing with these things, Prince Albert needed to talk to his brother first.
"We haven't seen each other for a long time. It's the first time we have communicated alone like this for more than two years, for you and me, only us, and no one else. So, I think we can speak a little bit." After a brief silence, Prince William, who was the one who started the talks, spoke first.
"So what about today's topic? Is it about the current domestic political situation, the upcoming Turkish war? Or is it a visit to Bavaria that is coming soon?" Prince Albert asked. The prince who has experienced too many things and handled too many things gives people a sense of ability and pragmatism. He mentioned almost all the issues that may need to be discussed at the moment, but there is no right issue that outsiders have the hottest discussion.
"You are very pragmatic. You have done a lot of things. When I first went to the Polish Governor's District, you helped my father handle internal affairs and diplomacy in Berlin. Then you went to the Baltic Governor's District. From the information I collected, you did a good job. You are a very small governor, and you are much better than the people under my command in many aspects. In the future, you may go further and become the prime minister of Prussia and even the entire empire. You may even pass Bismarck." The crown prince said.
"I am very sad that Prince Bismarck. He was the prime minister of the Prussian Kingdom and the pinnacle of imperial politics. He was as great as Metternich after the Napoleonic Wars, and even stronger than him!" Prince Albert said.
"Do you think you respect him very much. I remember that you were not like this before. Even a few years ago, when we discussed him, we only regarded him as a senior. That's all, and judging from your performance today, you regarded him as a sage." The crown prince said.
"Yes, at least he completed the unification of the German Empire, established the earliest social security system, and he made the empire all the best on the diplomatic stage. During his term, the empire was unprecedentedly powerful. And when he was in office, he could more effectively check and balance Bavaria and ensure the balance between the center and the south." Prince Albert said.
