Chapter 2425: Teach one
"The Grand Duke of Baden hesitated at first, but in the end he said that Prince Albert is also a relative, so Prince Albert will also attend the next meeting." Duke Albrecht said.
"Hehe, interesting." Ruprecht said with a smile. "Let's go." Judging from the reaction of Grand Duke Baden just now, he is still not satisfied with the arrival of Prince Albert. Because, in the end, although he agreed to let Prince Albert participate in the next meeting, he was a relative, not a member of the royal family or a representative of the Kaiser!
Perhaps this incident revealed strong political intentions, but for the crown prince, the most important thing now is to solve the problem of Gustav V. As for the twists and turns within the Hohenzollern family, then talk later. Anyway, the Kaiser can live for more than 20 years!
"Sorry, some things have been dealt with, and you have been waiting a long time." Ruprecht said very kindly to Gustav V.
"It doesn't matter, at least in the next meeting, we don't have to face the obnoxious guy." Gustav V said indifferently. The German side still respects the Swedish king. Previously, an empire grand duke and heirs of the two kingdoms took turns to accompany him. Now Prince Albert is here again, which makes Gustav V very satisfied. Anyway, he cannot enjoy this kind of treatment in China. In other words, apart from him, any senior Swedish person will come, and the German side will not arrange so many high-ranking people! At this time, Gustav V really felt like going home....
"Okay, now we are discussing business matters. I understand your demands and we also support your idea of becoming a powerful monarch. After all, only you have certain rights and influence in the country. Only then can the Empire and Sweden cooperate better.” Ruprecht said straightforwardly.
"However, neither the government nor the people are friendly to the monarch. You know, the power of the Swedish monarch has been passing away more than 100 years ago. Now, the monarch is more like a rubber stamp." Gustav Five The world said.
"Therefore, you need to take it more slowly now. Any excessive performance is not good for you. The first step we must take is to let the government and the people eliminate the barriers to the royal family. Maybe you want to cultivate goodwill in a short time. Difficult, but at least let them feel that their king is not a troublemaker.” Ruprecht said, although before the war, Ruprecht expressed gratitude to Gustav V for supporting Germany, but Such behavior is obviously detrimental to the personal prestige of Gustav V. After all, armaments and joining any military alliance are very difficult for the Swedes who have been used to living in peace.
Thanks to the fact that the later King Gustav V no longer contacted government affairs, he was not abolished. Otherwise, his son may not be there, and the crown of the Swedish royal family will fall into dust! Of course, on this plane, Gustav V's situation is much better, because Germany has won! This proves that his judgment is correct and he has political and military vision! At this time, even if the Swedish government is no longer satisfied, it will not embarrass the king too much, because the group of German relatives behind the king are very powerful!
"The Swedish royal family should be more close to the people, so that they can feel that the royal family is by their side instead of being above it. This is the first step to gain a sense of identity. No one likes to be born superior. And even in Bavaria, they support me. Trust me only because I can lead this country to prosperity and bring benefits to them. Not simply because of my blood." The crown prince said.
"As a king who has been misunderstood by the people, you should not hide in the palace and rely on the towering walls to isolate yourself from society, but you should go out and boldly want the people to show your care and role in this country! Of course! At the beginning, there must be no excessive political elements. This will alert the politicians!"
"We can start from the perspective of culture and education, for example, invest in the establishment of mechanical and electrical related majors in Stockholm University. Set up a royal fund to reward people with good character and academics or support people with family difficulties. These are all inputs. Not much, you can get very big benefits, I think, neither you nor us will worry about the millions of marks, right?" Ruprecht said.
To be honest, in this era, setting up funds does not actually require too much money, such as the famous Nobel Prize in later generations. Do you know how much the Nobel inherited at the beginning? But it's only 9.2 million US dollars, which is more than 3 million pounds in British pounds, and more than 60 million marks! The crown prince does not ask Gustav V to get a big prize, as long as it can be justified, such as a fund of 10 million marks. Then it is handed over to someone to manage, and then a portion of the interest is drawn from it every year as a scholarship or something.
10 million marks more? Anyway, Ruprecht thinks it's very general~www.wuxiaspot.com~ At least with the help of the Swedish royal family, Gustav's German relatives, and the German government, once there is no problem with this fund! It doesn't matter what it is, it can be regarded as a testimony of the friendship between Germany and Sweden, and with the support of the German states, it is really not difficult to do.
Moreover, the crown prince chose a very good major. First, Stockholm University does not currently have a major in mechanical and electrical appliances. Secondly, these majors have very broad prospects. It is still difficult for Swedish companies to find sufficiently high-level mechanical and electrical engineers from the local area. This is also one of the bottlenecks restricting the development of Swedish industry in this era. After all, compared to the rise of Bofors before the Second World War, Sweden in the era of World War I really didn't have any special industrial products. So this move will definitely be recognized by the Swedish business community.
And since this matter is to be handled by Gustav V, I have no idea that the teachers of these new academies must be hired from Germany and Austria. After all, the German industrial technology is really world-class. , The further expansion of the channels of non-governmental exchanges between the two countries is of great significance to the improvement of relations between the two countries!
As for whether this is useful? It must be useful. Gustav V’s son followed this popular and academic line. With the support and help of the German government, Gustav V should do better! Of course, in order to make things more perfect, Gustav V can also engage in charitable activities and public welfare activities. It is best for all members of the royal family to go out. Anyway, many European royal families did this in future generations. Yep!
