Chapter 2372: The power of the empire

"So, what do you mean? How to establish a balance between us and the southern kingdom? Let them be willing to obey, and we will not lose face." Grand Duke Baden asked.

"Let’s enter together with representatives of various states. We are on the left and they are on the right. You and the Duke of Württemberg are facing each other. He is the representative of the kingdom and the marshal of the Empire, and the Grand Duke of Oldenburg is facing the kingdom of Saxony. There will be no opinion," said Prince Baden. We are the hosts and they are the guests. Guests should be more distinguished. The Imperial Marshal is at the front, the representatives of the two kingdoms are on the right, and we are on the left. (Internationally, the right is generally respected.)

　　 "Hehe, this is a good way." Grand Duke Baden was helpless in satisfaction. I have to say that the Prince of Baden is really good at making mud. One side is the Grand Duke, and the other is the Kingdom. No one can say anything about this. Although he is in a slightly lower position relative to Albrecht, outsiders can't say anything. After all, the kingdom of Württemberg has always been strong, and the duke is still a field marshal, and his prestige is definitely better than that of his own home. Duke is stronger. If you are soft, you will be soft.

　　 As for the Grand Duke Friedrich of Oldenburg, he would not have any opinion. After all, although Saxony is weak, it will not let the Grand Duchy other than Baden dominate! And Archduke Friedrich is relatively easy-going, not as strong as Archduke Baden, so he would agree.

　　 To be honest, Prince Baden’s handling is very reasonable, and the other party is very likely to accept it, but the Grand Duke Baden is a little bit disappointed with his heirs because Prince Baden is a little easy-going and weak. If it's normal, it doesn't matter, but now, when the Kaiser Prussia needs strong support from the Grand Duchy of Baden, you may have some problems if you are not tough enough.

　　 "That's it." After hesitating for a moment, Grand Duke Baden still thinks that too much conflict at this time is not good for both sides, and this suggestion is not shameful. Take care of each family's face.

　　 "Then this matter is left to me," Prince Baden said.

　　 "Your Excellency Marshal, Your Excellency Crown Prince, I am glad to meet you." Ten minutes later, Prince Baden came to Albrecht, Duke of Württemberg and the Crown Prince of Saxony.

The prince’s words are very artistic. The subtext of the prince of Baden is that I respect you, because you are the marshal of the imperial field, not because you are the duke. We are meeting in private now. You do not represent the kingdom of Württemberg. That's what it means.

　　 "Hello, your prince, you are really mature in business." Albrecht said meaningfully. The duke, who was old and fine, had mixed civil and military skills, naturally knew what Prince Baden meant.

　　 "About a while, I have an idea..." Then Prince Baden informed Albrecht of his plan.

　　 "Somewhat unexpected." Duke Albrecht said with a smile after listening. "Your Excellency can't think of such a way." Of course, this is not to say that the Grand Duke of Baden has insufficient IQ, but that this person is relatively tough, he dare not dare to Bavaria, but for Wurttemberg, the Grand Duke of Baden generally does not Give in easily.

　　 "After all, we are here to negotiate, not to quarrel. If there is a quarrel at the door, although there are fewer outsiders, none of us will look good." Prince Baden said calmly.

　　 "Well, on this question, what you said does make sense, and it can be considered as taking care of all aspects of face." said the Duke. "But then when the attendants enter the venue, they must follow the order of the Federal Assembly, and the arrangement of vehicles waiting outside must also be arranged accordingly. This is not excessive, right?"

　　 It's natural for the masters to walk together. However, there are at least hundreds of attendants for a state representative, and there are dozens of them even in the palace. Just as the Grand Duke of Baden brought his brother, the others also had their own senior staff and followers. Naturally, it is impossible to separate them from left to right. This requires one country to enter. The distribution of vehicles outside the door shows outsiders the status of various states. The meaning of the Duke is very clear. The Grand Duke of Baden is a senior. We can give some face through comprehensive consideration, but the outside arrangements must be ours. Because these are the seats representing the Federal Parliament!

　　 "Okay." Prince Baden nodded and said. After confessing the matter, Prince Baden was ready to leave. On the one hand, time was tight, and on the other hand, because of his own position, he did not want to stay with the representatives of Southern States.

"Things are well done. If you are the prime minister of the empire, I think you will balance all aspects of the relationship very well." At this moment, the voice from behind made everyone stand up and talk with them. At the time, the real master-Bavarian Crown Prince Ruprecht had arrived, but he did not intervene in this conversation, but chose to listen.

　　 "Your Excellency Marshal of the Empire." After hesitating, Prince Baden saluted first. Then came the Crown Prince of Saxony, and because it was a private meeting, Grand Duke Albrecht and the Crown Prince were very familiar, so he just nodded to signal that it was over.

　　"You have been praised~www.wuxiaspot.com~ the Prince of Baden said modestly.

"I don't hope that in the future internal issues of the empire will have to use swords and guns as footnotes to solve problems, so a prime minister who can take into account the interests of all parties is essential. We will not be too involved in northern affairs in the future. There are not many people who can coordinate the relationship between the two sides, you count one." The crown prince said with a smile.

Ruprecht makes sense to say this, because Prince Baden is actually more enlightened. This is also the reason why he became the last prime minister of the German Empire in history. He does not hold a decisive attitude towards the Social Democratic Party. This is very rare in the Kingdom of Prussia, so if you want to stabilize North Germany, the character of Prince Baden is really suitable.

　　 "If you have nothing else, I will retire." Prince Baden obviously did not want to stay here. But it's not convenient to just throw your hands away.

　　 "Please do it yourself." Ruprecht said with a smile. After the Prince of Baden left, Ruprecht turned and said to the Duke and Christian: "Well, two, get ready, we have an important thing to do today. Your Excellency, Duke Albrecht, do you It’s pretty good, it’s tight."

　　 "It's just a small matter." The Duke responded with a smile.

　　 "Your Excellency, the crown prince, follow your father's will this time and study hard. After all, there are not many opportunities like this." The crown prince said to the heir of Saxony.

　　 "Thank you for your attention." Crown Prince Christian said.
