"Our requirement is very simple. Through the influx and increase of population, the votes of the Bavarian Kingdom in the Federation are guaranteed to maintain parliamentary stability. In terms of economy, we step up the connection with the Austro-Hungarian Empire to ensure that one day, when Prussia's capital competes with us, we have enough strength. And to be honest, we do have some demand for territory. As the key pillar of the Eastern Front, the Bavarian Legion will always give some benefits after paying huge costs, right?" said the prince.

"Hiss." The German Emperor took a breath. He suddenly realized that he really didn't know the person in front of him. The other party's answer was very different from what he imagined. From the conversation just now, he understood what Ruprecht said, and obtained the economy and population from the Austro-Hungarian side, while the territorial issues were obtained through the German central government. You must not say that you are treason. Economic cooperation with Austro-Hungarian is open and honest. There is nothing to blame for introducing immigrants and labor. Even the last point makes sense. It is impossible to be defeated by the Bavarian Legion on the Eastern Front, and the Prussian government does not give it at all, right?

Of course, it is best not to give it if you can't give it, but Bavaria is not Saxony or Württemberg. These two families are not as good as one Bavaria now. If you say you don't give it, then it will probably be difficult to do whether it is the military cooperation between the two sides or anything else. After all, in peacetime, the military systems of the two sides are separated, and you can't control it, whether it is the German Emperor or the Moltke.

So, the situation has completely changed now. Bavaria has clearly stated that there will be no territorial transactions and activities beyond the boundaries with the Austro-Hungarian Empire, so the so-called treason will be gone. As long as there is no problem, Prussia really cannot move Bavaria. What's even more tragic is that the problem has become, Bavaria requires sharing the fruits of victory on the Eastern Front. Prussia really cannot refuse this problem. After all, everyone is a kingdom, and they will still bear important responsibilities in the battle on the Eastern Front.

You can not give the Kingdom of Württemberg or the Kingdom of Saxony. The reason is very simple. Although the army of these two kingdoms is under their own management in peacetime, the funds are supported by the German central government. It is considered that the German central government helps you to support your army and is used for you in daily life. But Bavaria is different, and they are completely self-supporting their own army. Even if everyone is under the same imperial flag, if you want others to contribute, you have to pay for it! And this price is a problem.

The German Emperor is very confused now because his current answer directly concerns whether the Bavarian Legion will be dominated by the Austro-Hungarian Empire or Prussia in the future. If it is the latter, the Prussian General Staff could transfer more than 100,000 troops to the western front. The German Emperor even believed that relying solely on the Bavarian Legion could ensure the safety of East Prussia. Prussia would not be able to station troops.

Xiao Moltch made some calculations for the German Emperor. With Bavaria's financial resources, the number of reserve officers and the materials reserved, they maintained 4 to 5 armies in peacetime, with nearly 200,000 troops without any problems. During wartime, it was no problem to easily break through the 300,000 mark. In terms of combat effectiveness, it is unclear whether the 500,000 Prussian army can be defeated head-on or not, but it is not a problem to get a draw. What is the concept of a 500,000 Prussian army? It is the organization of two legions. In addition to the most powerful legion, which legion can have 250,000 people?

To go further, Fritz could think of Ruprecht playing tricks in the attack direction, and the German Emperor could think of it. Fighting north, the German Empire would naturally benefit greatly. When fighting east, most of the results would naturally fall into the pockets of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The German army on the Eastern Front was almost dominated by the Bavarian army. No matter how powerful the Prussian General Staff was, it could not prevent cooperation between Bavaria and the Austro-Hungarian Empire. After all, if you hand over the back to Austro-Hungarian Empire, you should also take into account other people's opinions.

"What benefits are you going to let Fritz give you?" The German Emperor is indeed a politically experienced veteran. He is sure that Bavaria and Austro-Hungary have not completed the transaction yet. This can be seen from Fritz's performance that he also has doubts about Bavaria's ability. How can he pay without seeing the real goods? But now, he has experienced the goods, so it can be expected that the transaction will definitely speed up.

"I want to add a Bohemian and Moravian granddaughter to my wife's title." Ruprecht said with a smile.

"Are you crazy?! Fritz would not agree!" William II said in surprise, looking at the other party with a madman's eyes. The German Emperor was sure that this so-called female grandfather could never be just a reputational title, but should have real local power. In fact, this is nothing, because the local governments in the Bohemia region have a high autonomy. Even the rules of requiring civil servants to know Czech can be read. Therefore, from the perspective of local governments alone, it is understandable that Emperor Ao gave the rule of this area to his daughter. As for the issue of getting married, it is not a problem in Europe.

For example, Prince Ruprecht's father, Ludwig III, could have served as the King of Greece, but the latter gave up. Moreover, Fritz could only give his daughter local power. At the parliamentary level, Princess Mary could not have rights, that is, let you manage and manage, but the political power is very small both external and internal.

However, even so, the German Emperor still believed that the Austrian Emperor would not agree. At most, a female Bohemian Duke was the limit. After all, these two places were the most developed regions of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. They were also important military personnel. Ruprecht would definitely interfere in the local economy and military. This really requires careful consideration for Austro-Hungarian. Of course, if this plan can be achieved, although the territory of the Bavarian Kingdom will not change, its military strength and economic strength will have greatly improved.

"What do you need to do?" the German Emperor continued to ask.

"It's very simple, kill all the enemies." Ruprecht said easily. "Of course, fighting the Russians in the east, and fighting Serbia in the south, you may also fight with the Italians. Who knows, maybe the process is different, but the result is certain."

"But you are the prince of the German Empire, so it's not good to do this?" said the German Emperor.

"The Emperor Ao gave his daughter a fiefdom, and it seems that nothing happened to Germany, right? Since the Kingdom of Bavaria was also part of the German Empire, we made our own contribution to the growth of Germany and shed blood for the empire, can we share a bowl of soup when Prussia eats meat?"
