Chapter 1827: Emperor, Grand Duke and Prince
"Your Majesty, are you looking for something to do with me?" Grand Duke Baden sighed uncontrollably as he looked at the haggard Emperor in front of him. The development of the matter so far is completely beyond everyone's expectations. More than a month ago, the Kaiser, who was full of confidence and subdued the parliamentarians and Bavaria, could not even guarantee his throne. This gap is really too big.
"The representative of Bavaria is coming." William II's voice was a little hoarse.
"Who is here?" Grand Duke Baden said curiously.
"Prince Leopold. The telegram said that he will discuss some matters with us on behalf of the Kingdom of Bavaria." William II replied.
"Prince Leopold? Is the Kingdom of Bavaria going to have a showdown with us?" The Grand Duke of Baden frowned, and his heart was tense, because he knew that the most critical moment was coming. Prince Leopold has a lofty status and is also the top general in the German army. It must be a very important thing for him to meet the German emperor.
"So this time, what does the Bavarian side want to talk about? Autonomy rights? Post-war territorial division or political rights?" That's all the Grand Duke Baden can think of, or as an independent economic and political mixture that is self-financing. It is estimated that these will interest the Kingdom of Bavaria. And the Grand Duke is very sure that this time, the conditions set by the Kingdom of Bavaria will definitely be quite harsh! Otherwise, if it's common things, just find someone to come over. In the current extremely unfavorable situation, as long as Bavaria is willing to help, the Kaiser will really not care about common things.
"This is actually a good thing, at least for now, Bavaria is willing to send their real power prince to discuss some things with us, which shows that Crown Prince Ruprecht is still the first to favor us. Grand Duke Baden comforted.
"It is said that the Bavarian side has also sent a representative to Berlin, one day later than Prince Leopold. The person who went seems to be Earl Schelling, the one who was responsible for almost the entire Bavarian court. Damn it! Rupley Hitt is betting on both sides!" the Kaiser said angrily.
"If Ruprecht does not intervene in this matter, then after the Western Front enters a quiet period, I can immediately order the Crown Prince's Army to return to the country. In this case, we at least have a military advantage, and now, at the same time Sending special envoys to both sides, Ruprecht made it clear that he wanted to intervene in this matter, which made some of the centrists in the army start to waver. Until the situation becomes clear, we really dare not act rashly." The German sighed Said.
The group army controlled by the crown prince is strong enough for Albert and others, not to mention all being transferred back, even if only a third or even a quarter of them are willing to follow the Hohenzollern family to suppress the riots, then Albert and others It is estimated that people will also play gg. but now? When the Bavarian Army intervenes, the so-called military superiority of the Kaiser will no longer exist! After all, some people may be willing to fight the rebels in Berlin for the sake of high-ranking officials, but they will definitely not be in front of the Bavarian Army, which is obviously higher than him!
"Then what are you going to do?" Grand Duke Baden asked.
"You and I are going to meet Prince Leopold. Only the two of us." William II paused and said: "As long as this time, Bavaria is willing to provide us with military help. All the agreements we have made with the Kingdom of Bavaria are It will be implemented, and I will personally issue the order and inform the whole country." After the Kaiser finished saying this, he was like a frustrated ball.
For the Kaiser, when he said this, it also meant that his original plan to restrict and weaken the Kingdom of Bavaria was completely bankrupt. According to the previous agreement, part of the territory of Russia belonging to Poland, Belarus, and Ukraine was handed over to Bavaria, which is tantamount to agreeing that this country, which was originally only 78,000 square kilometers, grew into a European power with an area of 300,000 square kilometers! (Including Bohemia and Moravia) To put it hard, in the future, the German Empire will move towards a dual empire. Although Prussia will still be relatively strong, there will definitely be two power centers within the empire. , One in Berlin and one in Munich.
"That's not to say!" The Grand Duke Baden's eyes showed some helplessness, because he felt that if Bavaria could accept this condition before this series of things happened, then now, when Bavaria is full of good cards It’s strange that they would accept this suggestion!
"There is also the Transcaucasus region, the Baku oil field." Grand Duke Baden reminded him hesitantly.
"......" William II was speechless for a while, he really forgot about it. "It turns out that the Bavarian Army also controlled the Transcaucasus region. There are at least more than 100,000 square kilometers of land there, and the more important Baku oil field." The thought of this made Wilhelm II feel even more uncomfortable~www.wuxiaspot .com~Because, if you count this enclave outside the Black Sea, then Bavaria is really powerful and terrifying! A kingdom with an area of 300,000 to 400,000 square kilometers is not too terrible, but if the kingdom is still Europe's number one oil-producing country, then Bavaria's political and economic status can really be on the same level as Prussia! Can't afford it, can't afford it!
"By the way, Your Majesty, there is one more thing to remind you." Grand Duke Baden said: "The four commanders of the army groups on the western front have returned. I originally planned to arrange for them to stay in our designated hotel, but now, They are all in an army barracks on the outskirts of Brussels. It seems that this time, they plan to meet Prince Leopold."
"Hehe, I didn't expect that the most dependent person of the Hohenzollern royal family is now a stranger to us." The current Kaiser no longer has the strength and the mind to curse anyone. As Xiao Maoqi said at the beginning, the current officer regiment has deteriorated. It is no longer the German officer regiment that followed the emperor and could serve as the sword and shield of the empire. They began to have their own independence, and When the imperial power is declining, prepare to make your own choice!
"But, why did they come here at this time? Did they come here spontaneously or was someone invited them?" The Kaiser felt an unusual aura from this abnormal behavior. Although, at this time the battle on the Western Front has come to an end, the return of these group army generals will not have any impact on the military. However, it is not normal for these soldiers who can determine the future and destiny of the empire to gather together!
