Chapter 1836: notice
On the second day after the talks between Lieutenant General Hall and General Hausen, Prince Leopold and his entourage finally came to Brussels. Originally, the Kaiser prepared a grand welcome ceremony. This was not only because of taking care of the other prince. More importantly, he wanted to send a signal to the outside world. The Kingdom of Bavaria and the Kaiser were very friendly, thus gaining a political advantage. However, this request was strictly rejected by Prince Leopold. The Kaiser’s hospitality was rejected for the reason.
The enthusiasm on the surface cannot conceal the relationship between the two parties that is almost close to the freezing point. In the opinion of the Kaiser, when the Prussian civil strife broke out, the Kingdom of Bavaria could spend a lot of materials and strength to help the navy stabilize the situation, and could send a large number of troops into the western front to ensure the frontline, but it was unwilling to spend a fraction of the above. Power to help him put down the rebellion! This is almost the same as Albert and others! It's just that this raccoon is a bit big, some are too ferocious, and the Emperor can't afford it...
As for Prince Leopold? Since the two sides started various chaos in the middle and late stages of the war, His Royal Highness's perception of the Kaiser has been reduced to a minimum. If we had to look at the Kaiser’s face before and give him a face, then now that the Kaiser’s family has a tendency to lose hair and phoenixes are not as good as chickens, the prince will naturally not give him a good face, and this time The prince came here to implement Prince Ruprecht’s domestic policy and is to split Prussia. With his own huge advantage, the prince’s mentality itself has the advantage!
Everyone is here to do business, to get rid of unnecessary greetings. After the simple welcome ceremony, Prince Leopold, Kaiser and Grand Duke of Baden walked into a small meeting room, and the others, whether they were German military personnel, German royal family and high-ranking officials, and Bavarian attachés were all arranged outside. This is a very important closed-door meeting, enough to affect the future of Prussia and even Germany!
"I came here to inform your majesty. The crown prince of the Austro-Hungarian Empire has been determined. In 2 weeks, His Majesty Franz will conduct a canonization ceremony at the Hoffmann Palace. I hope that His Majesty the Kaiser can send representatives to participate." Prince Opold said quietly.
"The invitation for the canonization of the crown prince of Austria-Hungary should be conveyed by the Austrian Ministry of Foreign Affairs? Although the Austrian embassy in Berlin has lost its function, there is still a diplomatic channel between Germany and Austria. You came here to inform me personally. Something unexpected." Grand Duke Baden said.
"Because the new crown prince is a bit special, the Austrian emperor and the crown prince think it would be better for me, the prince of Bavaria, to inform." the prince said.
"The candidate is more special?" William II frowned. "Australia-Hungary will not have a queen in the future?" After a short period of hesitation and thinking, William II finally thought of something.
"Her Royal Highness Princess Mary will become the Crown Prince of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and Prince Albrecht, the son of her Royal Highness Princess, will become the second in line." Prince Leopold said.
"Hehe." The Kaiser smiled dryly. "What about Bavaria? Do you want to return to the embrace of the Holy Roman Empire? I don't know, when Ruprecht faces his wife again, will he be shorter?"
"I really regret it. Really, I did a lot of wrong things, but all the things I did wrong were not as serious as the consequences of this thing. Not only me, but also my grandfather and my father! Back then, The Prussian Army should do everything it should do!"
Both the prince and the Grand Duke of Baden could hear the strong anger from the Kaiser’s words, but this time, the Kaiser controlled it very well. In less than a minute, the Kaiser regained his peace.
"Okay, I didn't go violently on the spot." Looking at the Kaiser's calmness, Grand Duke Baden let out a sigh, took out the handkerchief in his pocket and gently wiped the cold sweat on his head. The situation just now was really true. It’s too dangerous. If the Kaiser really makes any radical moves at this time, then even if Bavaria doesn’t want to do anything against the Kaiser, I’m afraid it will have to do it. No matter how Bavaria and Albert get along afterwards, anyway, Hohenzo The Lun family is completely finished!
"Although there is an emperor and a king in a family at the same time, Bavaria is still Bavaria, and the promises of the ancestors of the kingdom are still valid. We will still be within the system of the German Empire, and political and sovereignty issues will not change. "After the Kaiser calmed down, Prince Leopold continued.
"Although you say this verbally, I don't think most Germans can agree with your statement. Have you considered the consequences of this matter after it is made public?" The German emperor said this in a very peaceful tone, which is rare. Some words, but from his shaking hands, it can be seen that the innermost part of the German emperor is not as calm as his tone ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ We also sent out invitations to other German states. Temberg and the Kingdom of Saxony have indicated that they will participate in the canonization ceremony. The three principalities of Hesse, Oldenburg, and Saxony-Weimar also said they would participate. As for the three principalities that have been notified among the five principalities, they will also go. As for the pro-kingdom? I was on my way when I was notified, but I should be able to get the news later today. "Prince Leopold talked freely. Very relaxed." And now, I personally come to Brussels to inform His Majesty and Grand Duke as the princes of Bavaria and Austria. I have already expressed respect for both. You have the right to choose. that is it. "
"As for Prussia? General Crook and others should have known it earlier than you. Of course, this is a technical problem. We can directly communicate with several group army commanders through the Bavarian Army Command on the Western Front. "Looking at the pale-faced Kaiser, the prince hit another fatal blow!
"Well, we will send a suitable person to participate in this canonization ceremony." Before the Kaiser speaks, the Grand Duke Baden said immediately. Now, the Grand Duke Baden is really afraid that the Kaiser will go away accidentally! Moreover, judging from the current situation, most of the states within the German Empire have already expressed their views, and there is no objection to Princess Mary becoming the queen, and even the German army has accepted this fact. In this case, There is no use for the Kaiser to hold on except to make the relationship between the two parties worse!
