Chapter 1837: Tentative

As for why the Grand Duke of Baden has judged that the German Army Corps has yielded? The reason is simple. He believes that Bavaria has indeed told the front-line generals about this. Otherwise, it would be impossible for the four Prussian generals to arrive in Brussels at this point in time.

　　 And if the officer corps disagrees with this canonization, then they will first contact the Kaiser, and then discuss this matter. After all, among all Germans, the Kaiser is absolutely against this matter. Because this may directly shake the foundation of the empire’s ruling, but now, those generals came here, but did not meet the Kaiser, and even the residence provided by the Kaiser were unwilling to enter, but settled in the barracks under their control. , Which means that they are not willing to stand on the side of the Kaiser on this matter. It is too late for others to avoid suspicion. How could they take the initiative to get together?

　　 There is basically no objection from other states. The German army does not want to intervene. There has been civil strife in Prussia, and the throne is not preserved. Then I would like to ask, even if the Kaiser disagrees, what can you do? ! At this point, in fact, you can't help the Emperor. No matter what your heart is, let's make a statement. Therefore, Grand Duke Baden went directly to handle this matter on his behalf.

　　 On the surface, when the Grand Duke of Baden stated that he would send representatives to participate in the ceremony, and the Kaiser did not raise any objections, Prince Leopold’s mission was actually completed... But in fact, whether it is the prince or the opposite Kaiser and Grand Duke, they know that the real confrontation has just begun!

　　 This talk will definitely involve Prussian domestic issues, but on this issue, whoever speaks first is at a disadvantage! The Kaiser cannot make Bavaria feel that he is eager to find help from outside, and Bavaria cannot make Prussia feel that his help is too cheap. Therefore, in this slightly embarrassing situation, the role of Grand Duke Baden once again played out!

　　 "I don't know what you think of the current battlefield situation." Grand Duke Baden asked.

　　 "The odds are in hand. If the problems within the empire can be resolved, we can even end the war in the first half of this year." Prince Leopold replied.

"War is terrible. Even for the empire, the materials and lives consumed on the battlefield every day are very huge. Therefore, in order to end the war as soon as possible, we must put down the domestic rebellion, and as a part of the empire, everyone With the same noble blood that has lasted for hundreds of years, I think our attitude should be the same on this issue." Grand Duke Baden said.

"Your Excellency, this is not a question of military strength. If it is purely in terms of combat effectiveness, whether it is the group army of the Crown Prince or the Mackensen Army on the eastern front, you can find enough troops to suppress your opponents. After all, We all know that most of the troops in the country are training troops, and they don’t even have enough light machine guns. However, all this is not just a military issue, but also various remaining problems once the sword is raised, at least Bavaria The Legion is unwilling to bear the charge of a butcher. The Bavarian Legion can face the tide of the Russians with guns in its hands, and face the tanks of Britain and France. His Royal Highness can personally direct naval battles, but it is really difficult for us to fight the gun Quasi one by one our own city!" Prince Leopold took it over, and brought the ball back again.

"Your Excellency, think about the Paris Commune in history. It was just a city. How many people were killed or injured on both sides of the war? Tens of thousands of people died as a result. This time it was not a city, but across several provinces and more than a dozen important cities. Do you really want to see this happening in Berlin?" the prince added.

　　 "Since your country is unwilling to stain your white gloves with blood, can your country issue a statement stating that it will no longer interfere in the political situation in Prussia?" Suddenly, the Kaiser, who had not spoken, spoke.

　　 "Except for the counterattack against the Poles and the support for the Western Front Army, we have never interfered in the political struggle within Prussia." Prince Leopold said.

　　 "That's good, then Ruprecht can publicly issue a statement in the name of the Bavarian royal family? I think that I can completely solve the Prussian internal problems by myself." The German Emperor pressed on!

Wilhelm II said this after a long time of thinking. He has no evidence that Bavaria supported Albert’s coup, but he understands that because Bavaria’s long non-commitment has caused hesitation among the centrists in the empire. indefinite. In fact, in the Kaiser’s opinion, his advantage gradually increased over time. The Western Front Army could free up, and the Eastern Front Mackensen Army could begin to mobilize after one month. If it were really pulled out to fight, what would Albert's troops count?

And if Bavaria is forced to make a statement at this time, even if it is only verbal, then the fencers within the empire will realize that the Kaiser has a huge advantage on the side ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and choose to stand on their side. And when the trend of declining and increasing to a certain extent, then it will trigger a qualitative change! In the end, it is not impossible to crush the opponent by yourself!

　　 And the Kaiser believes that the Kingdom of Bavaria will never be as desperate as they say! They must want to make as much money as possible in this incident! Therefore, if the Kaiser asks Bavaria to stay out of the matter at this time, they will definitely not agree. Of course, Bavaria disagrees, and the Kaiser is not surprised. This is just to gain an advantage in the negotiation! If you ask for something, I can give it to you, so that the two sides can talk.

"Your Majesty, the Kingdom of Bavaria is an indispensable part of the empire. We should not treat Bavaria like an enemy. Prussia and Bavaria are both kings. We are hostile to the parliamentary parties. Our opponent is the Social Democratic Party. The opponents of the various states are the Catholic Central Party.” Just before Prince Leopold answered the Kaiser’s question, the Grand Duke of Baden rarely vetoed the Kaiser’s words in front of outsiders, but neither the Prince nor the Kaiser responded. Before this, the Grand Duke of Baden continued to speak.

"Your Excellency, you have only arrived in Brussels today. You should be very tired. Let's talk about it first. How about we have already arranged a residence for you. Of course, you can also choose your own residence, all according to your wishes. , We have plenty of time to discuss these matters. You can use this opportunity to see the city under the control of the German army.” Grand Duke Baden made the decision to suspend the talks without authorization.
