Chapter 1891: Resident
"Salzburg is an acceptable location. It is the border area between Bavaria and Austria. It once belonged to Bavaria. Now it belongs to Austria. After all, Her Royal Highness Mary is the queen. In this case, it is okay to accommodate. With the current financial resources, it is no problem to build it into an empire and a kingdom where the two monarchs reside. But I don’t understand Lviv. It has never been the core area of the Austrian Empire and the Kingdom of Bavaria." Schelling Said the count.
"In fact, Salzburg is just a transition. The administrative center of the future Bavaria-Austrian system should move eastward." The prince thought for a while and said. "You must know that most of our new territories are areas that have been ruled by the Russians for hundreds of years. If we want to earn these areas into our pockets, then we must strengthen our control over these new areas. Power, not only economics, transportation and military, but also politically, we must also express our stance!"
In fact, you can see this problem by looking at the map. Whether it is Munich or Vienna, the location is too far to the west. If you ruled an acre and one-third of the year, it would naturally be nothing, but now it is different. Look at the history of Europe. Just know. For example, Prussia first originated in the present provinces of West Prussia and East Prussia, with Denzer as the center. However, when the Kingdom of Prussia was established in 1701, the Hohenzollern family set the capital in Berlin, and designated here as After the capital, it is possible for Prussia to gradually rule the entire German region because of its moderate location.
The same is true for the Austro-Hungarian Empire. When the Austro-Hungarian Empire was strong, Vienna was actually located in the center of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, rather than westward. Because at that time, the Bavarian countries such as South Germany were also under the crown of the Habsburg family.
And now, when Bavaria and Austria stretched their bodies in the east, then the eastward movement of the political center of gravity is an unavoidable issue. What is the political center of gravity? The empress and king’s residence is a very important political signal! Note that this is a place of residence, not a capital. Although in theory, a country has only one capital, there are always some exceptions.
For example, in later Brazil, Rio de Janeiro, as Brazil’s oldest and most developed city, served as Brazil’s capital for a long time, but later for better natural conditions and control over the vast northern regions, Brazil was still on the Brazilian plateau. Brasilia was built as the new capital.
According to reason, in Ruprecht and Princess Mary’s generation, Bavaria and Austria can almost be regarded as one country. Even if Ruprecht does not die, the relationship between the two will continue even after his eldest son Albrecht succeeds. This is a matter of decades, and it is still in the early 20th century. Many things will settle down in this long time.
In order to lay a solid foundation between the 1st and 2nd wars, we will deal with the future red giants and the bald eagles across the ocean. Ruprecht must deal with it completely, and dealing with the relationship with the Austro-Hungarian Empire has become a top priority!
"When we have our second son, Prince Leopold will assist my second son in Munich. The eldest son will be in Vienna when he reaches adulthood. And Queen Mary and I will live in Lviv, almost here. At the center of the future Bavarian-Austrian system, we are backed by the old kingdom and at the same time facing the vast eastern territory." said the prince
There are also reasons for choosing Lviv. First of all, this place is in a good location. Second, it is also the territory of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and it is easier for the Austrian government to accept it. At the same time, Lviv is also in the border area with the future Bavaria. Don't forget that part of the territory of northwestern Ukraine belongs to Bavaria! The Kingdom of Bavaria is also more acceptable.
And with the arrival of the crown prince and his wife, there will definitely be a large number of German personnel entering here, which is of great significance to improving the population structure of the majority of Poles and Ukrainians here. It turns out that the institutional foundations of Bavaria and Austria have been laid down. With the assistance of Prince Leopold, Earl Schelling and others, it is estimated that there will be no problems, while the prince and Prince Mary must concentrate on dealing with the new territories.
Of course, if it catches up with the critical moment, such as the meeting of the Austrian Parliament, Ruprecht and Prince Mary will still return to Vienna, what? Why can Ruprecht come? In addition to the King of Bavaria, they are the regents of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Naturally, they can participate. In Europe, it is not very common for an emperor to have N other titles? Besides, more than ten years ago, Ruprecht began to intervene in Bohemia-Moravian government affairs, and the Austrians have long been surprised~www.wuxiaspot.com~ You have discussed this with Mary Temple. Is something wrong? "Earl Schelling asked.
"His Royal Highness Mary agrees to this in principle. In terms of specific administrative management, Bavaria and Austria manage their own domestic affairs in principle. If cooperation between the two countries is required, I will take the lead in setting up a special organization to manage them. They are independent of each other, but there are Close cooperation is our established thing." Ruprecht said.
Of course, now it’s just a general system. If you really encounter a problem, you need to analyze the specific things. My father can last about another 10 years, and Fritz will only have about 3 years. After all, Emperor Fritz died in 1916, and now it’s 1914. At that time, Princess Mary will definitely succeed to the throne. After spending about 10 years in Vienna to help her deal with it, she should go back and prepare to become king. Now, although the time is a bit tight, there is a time difference after all.
In fact, in the future, in addition to Munich in Bavaria, Vienna in Austria, and Lviv, where the princes and couples reside, Kiev is also a very important node. In addition to its economic and political significance, it will also be a front-line general base for future operations against the Soviet Union, an important military fortress, and a support point for millions of troops. Although there will still be a new Ukraine between Austria and the Soviet Union in the future, the prince does not think that this new Ukraine can fight against the red giant in history. Before the German-Austrian Army enters the battlefield, the latter can play a role in hindering and delaying. enough!
