"In addition, there is another very important thing for me to come this time. His Majesty the Emperor hopes that Bavaria can reach a certain understanding with the industry in Prussians. You have been fighting for ten years. If you can work together, the empire will be less trouble." Prince Heinrich thought for a while and said.

"This is a bit too much." The prince said after thinking for a while.

Ruprecht suddenly understood a little. He contacted Prince Heinrich with the idea of ​​trying it out. In fact, the prince did not have much hope for this matter. Prince Heinrich himself has a military position and is the younger brother of Emperor William. He has a high status. Although he came here to take a look this time, the prince was not sure that the other party would accept the invitation. When Prince Heinrich agreed happily, the prince was still a little unbelievable. After all, it was done with one letter, which was a bit scary.

Now the prince understood that Prince Heinrich came here with a mission and sent a message to the prince. After all, the two sides had been a little stiff in the bidding for the first batch of dreadnoughts. If the two sides continued to confront each other and did not give in, the final result was likely to be one country and two systems. If the Bavarian Legion was built by the kingdom in history, but the supply and logistics system could still be seamlessly connected with Prussia, then this plane, one country and two systems have appeared. The German Emperor obviously wanted to bridge this difference.

But unfortunately, there is no way to bridge it. Bavaria is rich and has independent military power in peacetime. The German emperor could not ask Bavaria to use Prussian equipment. Moreover, with the combination of the prince and Princess Mary, the Bavarian military and the Austrian military further approached, and many of the equipment on both sides adopted unified specifications, which made His Majesty the Emperor feel that it was a bit difficult to take action.

At the same time, His Majesty the Emperor also realized that Bavaria could indeed produce a lot of good things, so he thought that if Bavaria and Prussian local industrial enterprises integrate, then the problem of military specifications and high-quality products will be solved. In the emperor's opinion, isn't the prince just for money and military equipment? Then, if we do it together, Bavaria can get a lot. Why not do it?

Especially recently, when the German Emperor visited the armored vehicles produced by Krupp, this idea was particularly strong. At that time, Gustav Krupp accused Bavaria of being a wasteful and useless thing, and Krupp, who had no experience in developing chariots, had encountered many problems. Not to mention the performance, at least the German Emperor was absolutely dissatisfied with this guy who ran away two wheels in the experimental site. After getting furious, the German Emperor finally decided to match the Prussian industrial giants and Bavaria.

"We can consider this, but the other party must extend an olive branch first." The prince thought for a while and said. This is not just a matter of face as a kingdom. When both sides are in stalemate, whoever speaks first will suffer a loss! When it comes to interests, the prince naturally cannot retreat easily.

"So, in principle, do you agree?" asked Prince Heinrich.

"After all, we are all for the empire, and there is nothing that cannot be discussed. Besides, I am not just a businessman." The prince thought about it and said. Bavaria does not have a complete industrial system. Not to mention anything else, the engines used by all the tanks participating in the experiment come from Man Company. Rheinmetall also provides a large number of components for the military factories in Bavaria. Most of the electrical supplies come from Siemens. The prince was arrogant until now and was able to kill Krupp repeatedly, which is largely due to the help of such a group of Prussian teammates...

The prince understands this very well, so while fighting against some Prussian military-industrial enterprises led by Krupp, the prince also dispersed some corner products or products with low returns to other Prussian enterprises. For example, Rheinmetall is now helping Bavaria produce bearing parts... and the two sides are then negotiating projects to produce new torpedoes.

"So good, someone will have an active contact with you. I believe His Majesty the Emperor will be very satisfied with this. In this case, your submarine proposal may pass quickly." Prince Heinrich said happily.

At the same time, Gustav Krupp stopped in front of a villa. He didn't want to go in because the owner of the villa was Heinrich Lehald, the founder of Rheinmetall, the main competitor of Krupp's group in the arms industry.

Historically, Krupp occupied most of the German Navy artillery market share in World War 1, while Rheinmetall monopolized the production of machine guns and a large number of shells. Although it was not as powerful as Krupp, it was also considered a giant. Rheinmetall in this plane was even stronger than before. When Krupp's business shrank widely, Rheintech's share in mechanical processing and other fields continued to expand. Of course, this was bound to be the "help" of Bavaria.

But this time, he had to go in because it was not only Lehald who awaited him in this villa, but also Arnold Siemens, the contemporary leader of the German electrical giant Siemens family. The latter dominates many fields. Both economic and political influence are great, and it is said that this meeting was held at the instruction of the German Emperor. Just this last point left Gustav with no other choice but to accept it!

"People say that Krupp developed under the protection of the German Emperor and started his career through politics. I do not deny the traditional friendship between the Krupp family and the German royal family, but I must say that Siemens is a giant who truly combines politics." Gustav remembered what his father said to him at this time.

Long before the official establishment of Siemens, the Siemens family used the status of a telegraph consultant in the Prussian army to obtain the rights to lay the line from Berlin to Frankfurt and the Rhineland, and also participated in the laying line from London to Kolkata through public relations actions against the British government.

In history, there was a bribery incident in Siemens after the Russo-Japanese War. This incident even involved the famous Yamamoto Kyoto and resigned directly shortly after becoming prime minister... So Siemens had more relationships with the government than Krupp and was much more wild! As for bribery, Siemens was still playing in the 21st century!
