"But I feel that this prince has limited kindness to the Austro-Hungarian Empire. They just regard us as an ally who can cooperate. All our actions are mostly derived from exchanges of interests, and they are very indifferent to our demands on politics and other aspects."

"Especially this time, the German Empire openly showed favor to Turkey, which means that if we want to gain benefits from the Balkans, we can only attack those small countries, and Germany will stop us from taking action against Turkey." Ferdinand said dissatisfiedly.

In Ferdinand's view, the small Balkan countries are more difficult to deal with than Turkey. It's not that the strength of these small countries is. One of them is not as strong as Turkey. The key is that there are other big countries behind these countries, such as Serbia and Bulgaria, and Russia, while Greece has the shadow of the British. Neither Russia nor Britain can easily provoke the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Now, after Germany announced its support for Turkey, the entire Balkan region has been almost divided up, and the Austro-Hungarian Empire is not profitable!

"This matter was decided by the German central government. He is just a representative. Ferdinand. I am also very dissatisfied with this matter, but we can distinguish between the seriousness and we cannot destroy the relationship between the two countries because of such a matter, and we cannot make Ruprecht dissatisfied with this marriage because of this matter." Fritz was also dissatisfied with this matter, but he could at least distinguish between the seriousness.

Germany's support for Turkey is an established fact and cannot be changed. This is a loss of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. If this makes Bavaria dissatisfied, it is another loss. Isn't it more unworthy to be dissatisfied for what is destined to be lost?

"We must first show our kindness to Ruprecht. Of course, you can also ask about Germany's attitude in the Balkans, especially towards Serbia. I have a premonition that what makes us most difficult for the entire Balkans is not Turkey, but Serbia, whose actions in Bosnia and Herzegovina have caused great trouble to the empire."

"This is probably a bit difficult. Behind Serbia is Russia, and Germany and Russia now have good relations." said Grand Duke Ferdinand.

"Haha, that's just a superficial phenomenon. In Western Europe, it is impossible to accommodate the two major powers of France and Germany, so they have become old enemies. In Eastern Europe, it is also impossible to accommodate the two major powers. The contradiction between Germany and Russia will break out sooner or later. Everything else is just a superficial phenomenon. Germany's support for Russia is also a measure to consume Russia's power in the Far East, to some extent." King Fritz was still very accurate in looking at the problem.

"What if Russia defeated Japan in the Far East?" Ferdinand asked.

"That would be even better. After defeating Japan, Russia will definitely be busy expanding eastward, so they have no time to estimate Europe. At least our situation on the Eastern Front is stable!" King Fritz said with a smile.

"By the way, that prince is proficient in the navy, and this time, the elite German navy has arrived. I think you should be very negotiable about this meeting." Before Ferdinand left, King Fritz added with a smile. He knew that this nephew was very interested in the blue territory, and this common hobby could well bridge the differences between the two!
