"Ruprecht, have you finally decided to meet your father?" Princess Mary said happily after learning that the prince had decided to go to Vienna.&1t;/p>

"Go with Tirpitz to discuss the issues of the Navy and the Balkans." Ruprecht said.&1t;/p>

"So is it the past unhappiness has come to an end?" the princess said with a frown. To be honest, the conflict between the Kingdom of Bavaria and the Austro-Hungarian Empire made her very sad as an intermediary.&1t;/p>

"I don't care about this anymore. I will not talk to His Majesty about this matter. I went this time, just to talk to him about how to fight this war better. There will be no personal feelings mixed with it." The prince paused and continued, "and how to save this country that has been broken inside."&1t;/p>

"Are you going to show off with your father in person?" Princess Mary said in surprise.&1t;/p>

"Maybe the showdown is not considered a sign, but I also want to show my attitude. My father-in-law is a good player in politics, but unfortunately, he does not know how to build a powerful empire. When he just succeeded to the throne, the Austro-Hungarian Empire was such a powerful country, the leader of German states and the master of Northern Italy, and now? It is just a reflection of the building that will collapse."&1t;/p>

"What if my father refuses?" Princess Mary asked worriedly.&1t;/p>

"He won't. As a qualified politician, he at least knows how to choose. The throne is in the hands of his daughter, and the existence of Austria can continue. The direct bloodline of the Habsburg royal family can still carry the crown. What else is he not satisfied with?"&1t;/p>

The prince is not worried about this. Who is Fritz? He was a political expert. After the failure of the Pakatan Harapan War and at the same time, he lost the Italian region. In the midst of the internal and external difficulties of the Austro-Hungary Empire, he could still allow Hungary to accept his own rule without causing the division of the empire. This is a miracle in itself, a miracle that has lasted the empire for decades. In addition to not being able to farm, Fritz is still very powerful!&1t;/p>

"So can I go with you?" asked Princess Mary.&1t;/p>

"Of course, take Albrecht with you. My father-in-law has always liked him." The prince nodded and said.&1t;/p>

"Is this your intention temporarily?" asked Princess Mary.&1t;/p>

"No, when we became husband and wife, I have been thinking about this for 12 years!" Ruprecht said. At first, the prince just planned to persuade the Austrian Emperor to agree to send the remaining Austrian-Hungarian fleet to the Aegean Sea and coordinate the cooperation between the two armies on the Eastern Front. However, after reading the war reports from all directions, the prince showed that the Austrian-Hungarian Empire's performance in this national war was still unsettling!&1t;/p>

First of all, it must be affirmed that the current situation of the Austro-Hungarian Empire is definitely far better than history, which is beyond doubt. However, this so-called good situation is far from reaching the level of allowing the empire to continue to survive stably. The Austro-Hungarian Empire responded to the demands of various ethnic groups within the empire while implementing dual rule. While allowing this empire to exist, it also made each ethnic group more disinterested and only consider its own interests when doing things. When such a country without cohesion is experiencing such an unprecedented war, it is impossible to not tell the problem! Think about the Russian Czech army in 1 battle in history, which was composed of captured Czechs, with tens of thousands! So the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian Empire is inevitable.&1t;/p>

Although this plane has the existence of time travelers, the Czechs, the largest ethnic minority in Austria, can better integrate into the German-dominated social system, but when manpower is exhausted, the prince can achieve stability in Austria due to his status and ability. As for the Hungarian area? Let’s not talk about those ethnic minorities for now, even the Hungarians themselves may not be willing to maintain this empire, right?&1t;/p>

Of course, the final result of Hungarian independence in history made the Hungarians very dissatisfied. After leaving the empire, Hungary could not control the invasion of so many nations and foreign forces. In the end, it occupied half of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and the Kingdom of Hungary, which had more than 200,000 square kilometers of land, could not even have half of the territory retained! This is also an important reason why Holtie agreed to join the Axis powers during the Second War! He wanted to take back the land that originally belonged to Hungary. What about the other nations? They did not gain benefits from independence.&1t;/p>

Slovenia and other places were incorporated into the Kingdom of Serbia, and Hungary was chewed hard by Romania and Poland. And those ethnic groups were not independent, but they still survived as ethnic minorities under another national flag. If they knew the result, how would they choose? This prince was not clear, after all, history could not repeat itself!&1t;/p>

In this case, it is impossible to maintain the Austro-Hungarian dual system, and it is even more impossible to suppress it. It is a good idea to break up peacefully and make as much profit as possible. Therefore, the prince must be prepared in advance, and even inform Fritz in a vague way, so that he can be mentally prepared. Although Bavaria has a close relationship with Austria, he is an outsider after all. Some things need Fritz to help.&1t;/p>

Four days later, Hoffmann Palace. After the eunuch hurried out to cover the door, only Emperor Fritz and Prince Ruprecht were left in the huge room. Austria-Hungarian Admiral Sir Haus took Tirpitz to discuss the issue of naval cooperation between the two sides. Princess Mary took the children to rest first. When there were only two people left in the room, some things were inconvenient to say to outsiders, and finally they could say it.&1t;/p>

"I thought you wouldn't come again." Emperor Fritz said, looking at the prince opposite him.&1t;/p>

"Then do you want me to come, or don't?"&1t;/p>

"I haven't thought about it yet." Emperor Ao was stunned at first, and then said. "Your attitude is very bad. Your ability and your arrogance are more suitable for an emperor than a king. When the local position and strength ambition are not equal, it will lead to very serious consequences. As a person who has experienced it and your father-in-law, I need to remind you."&1t;/p>

After watching the prince pose for a scrupulous look, Fritz continued: "If you were born in the Habsburg family or the Hohenzollern family, then your talents and ambitions will bring you and your empire to a new level. But you were born in the Wittelsbach family, a little worse. Now, because of the war, the German emperor can tolerate you, and because of our relationship, I can tolerate you."&1t;/p>
