Chapter 114: long time no see
"Your Royal Highness. I would like to welcome you on behalf of me and the Bavarian royal family. "People are under the eaves, and you have to admit it, and what is more tragic is that Prince Ruprecht is still under his own eaves! The other party is the princess of the Austro-Hungarian Empire in terms of identity, and the cousin Ruprecht is in terms of blood relationship...
"You are still in the palace. The naval officers and soldiers who taught the Japanese under your leadership have been sought after and praised in Berlin, but you, who has done the most, are here alone in obscurity. I can hardly understand. "Princess Mary said teasingly. There was a curious expression on his face, three points puzzled, and six points Ruprecht could not tell...
"It's just a fake name. As Wang Changsun, I lose my status with the low-level naval officers and soldiers in grabbing glory. I have a chance. It doesn't matter if I lose it. And those officers and soldiers may only have one chance in their lives to pass Brandon in the cheers of people. Fort Gate." Ruprecht said so, but he didn't agree with it in his heart. I'm millions of pounds every minute, how can I have time to take care of these things?
"You are still so practical, you are actually like a businessman, not a noble!" Princess Mary shook her head helplessly. "Well, I'm going to have a separate talk with His Royal Highness, you can withdraw first."
"His Royal Highness, I am optimistic about you!" Count Schelling made a puzzling gesture to Ruprecht when he was leaving!
"Ruprecht, are you really the prophet that God brought to save the Wittelsbach family and the Habsburg family? Did you know that when I heard that you won the Japanese fleet in the Far East, I didn’t Believe my ears. I have to say that your abilities are so strong that it surpasses my imagination, so that I suddenly found that everything I have done for several years seems to be a joke in front of you."
"Your behavior is a good interpretation of the true meaning of this world. Money and the army are the dominating existence, and everything else is nothing. The Habsburg dynasty lacked these, so it finally declined. Not only did we lose Germany, but also Hungarians dare to sit on an equal footing with us." Princess Mary's words revealed a sense of melancholy.
"Cousin, I am not here to wait to listen to your opera, can I say something right? Brother is very busy." Ruprecht said in his heart. "Now that you have realized the importance of being pragmatic, let's get some dry stuff!"
"However, I haven't done anything during this time. Do you remember the 100 marks lent to me?" Princess Mary smiled slightly, and said with some pride. "Now he has valued up to 2.5 million marks, but he commissioned a few friends and then used the information you provided to do some business with Qing."
"I rub! No wonder Schmidt mentioned in the telegram that he saw a lot of old goods from the Austro-Hungarian army on the battlefield! When the British-German relationship was tense, the British did not provide German ships with supplies, but they did not restrict Austro-Hungarian! Then Austro-Hungary used this time to survive in large numbers! This NM is too ruthless! I am giving up myself, right?" Ruprecht figured out a lot!
"Of course, this small amount of money is nothing in front of you. You paid 200,000 marks for simply admiring a beautiful lady." Princess Mary's conversation turned, Ruprecht immediately felt Ling Dong Is coming!
"I rub, we have a traitor!" Ruprecht began to figure out who had spread the news this morning at the meeting just now! Baron Vittorio? Impossible, this guy hasn't left his sight except to go to the toilet! Earl Schelling? This guy is not so immature!
"Oh, that seems to be the case. Are Ukrainian canaries that attractive?" Princess Mary frowned slightly, and the chill became heavier!
"As the price they paid for our artillery in advance, I offered a slightly lower price. That's it. This matter is good for us. If we can seize the artillery market of the German Navy, then the Habsburg royal family can at least annually. Benefiting several million marks!” Ruprecht realized that the more he explained, the darker he went, so he simply moved in! Talk about business! cousin! Let’s not talk about what I haven’t done yet! Even if my brother does it, dad doesn't care about it. You worry about eggplant!
"Well, speaking of business, the father is a little worried about the current military's combat effectiveness, especially the Imperial Defense Force as a field force. He plans to build an elite force like your country’s Blue Army in the Far East. This The corps needs instructors and overall training, and I recommend hiring consultants from Bavaria." Princess Mary also knew that continuing this topic might go wrong, and after a little teasing, she immediately turned back to the topic.
"Awesome!" Ruprecht had to say that this cousin had done something she had always wanted to do but had never done! How do you say it? The fortress was breached from within! Cousin, this is self-sacrificing! How about giving the 1 million mark to my cousin just to get this thing done?
If the World War I is likened to a group fight, Germany wants to change. It just cannot be strong, and its teammates can't be too bad. In history, Austria-Hungary almost existed at the bottom of the big countries! (Well, except Italy) With such a teammate, it is too difficult for the Germans to win!
So intervening in the internal construction of the Austro-Hungarian army as early as possible ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ is something Ruprech could not do but wanted to do but did not dare to do! If it was proposed by Bavaria, let alone what the Austro-Hungarian Empire thought, the Kingdom of Prussia would be wary! The Kaiser can tolerate the so-called Bavarian independence, but once it involves the cooperation between the two armies, and it is the Bavarian initiative, then things are not so easy to get confused! The military is nothing trivial!
But it is different when proposed by the Austro-Hungarian Empire. They are equal to the Kaiser. Bavaria is close to him, and he has rich practical experience. What's wrong with learning? It is impossible for the German Emperor to refute the Austrian Emperor's face for this little matter? I can't say, don't find Bavaria, and arrange two Prussian instructors for you! Ruprecht intends to mix in the Eastern Front in the future, so naturally he needs his teammates to work harder! Besides, everyone has the same language, the same kind, and the same religious beliefs. There is no barrier to communication!
"No problem! This matter is handed over to me, and it will definitely satisfy His Majesty the Austrian Emperor. In terms of equipment, we will also do our best." Ruprecht said respectfully.
"Hehe, cousin, your ambitions are not small!" Princess Mary said quite meaningfully.
"If you don’t change, you will die, and after the change, the worst result is just death! There is always a chance to do something more, and to be honest, I think that the Austro-Hungarian army has a huge size but no corresponding combat effectiveness. , It's time to make some changes!" Ruprecht said without concealment.
"Well, you are a master in military affairs. I can rest assured that you do these things, but in terms of economy, I think you need an assistant!" The princess haha said.
Seems to have been on Sanjiang this afternoon? Seeking Sanjiang tickets, collections and recommendations! ! ! ! !
