Chapter 357: meet

"This scene is a bit big." When Prince Ruprecht came to the silverware hall of Hofburg to attend the welcome ceremony of his future princess, Princess Mary, he also called the opposite side a huge lineup. In some accidents, the prince did not expect that in less than a year, his future wife could gather so many people around him. Compared with the obedient female princesses of the Austro-Hungarian Empire in history, Princess Mary of this plane really has the potential to be a queen!

The prince glanced at the **** first. Countess Laura and Marquis Aldrin are both old acquaintances. Their arrival is expected. Skoda’s representatives have also met twice, and in the eyes of the prince, they are only small roles. , And the other two groups of military representatives are all military-level commanders on the surface. Although the number is large, the level of specifications is not too high.

But when the **** next to the prince mentioned Kevis and Offenberg to the prince, the prince was obviously surprised, because as a traverser, he still had an impression of these two names. If I remember correctly, K Weiss should be the commander of the Austro-Hungarian Kwis Army after the outbreak of World War I, and Offenberg should be the commander of the Fourth Army! The fact that Princess Mary pulled the commanders of the two future armies in this way was indeed beyond the prince's expectations! These two people are potential stocks!

"Ruprecht, I hope you will enjoy this welcome ceremony. Compared to the many formal occasions you have experienced during this Mediterranean trip, this time I will relax you in the form of a cocktail party." Her Royal Highness Princess Mary in the dress, accompanied by Laura, stepped forward and said softly.

"Your Royal Highness, this arrangement made me even more nervous." The prince whispered close to Mary's ear, "Is this too ostentatious?"

"Swagger?" Princess Mary smiled slightly. "This is the Austro-Hungarian Empire, not Germany. In Germany, as the successor of Bavaria, you have to consider the attitude of the Kaiser. But here, in Austria, as a married man who is about to marry and can bring huge benefits to the royal family. Princess, I won’t have any negative effects if I do this. In order to increase my influence in Bavaria in the future, my father and Ferdinand are eager to make the momentum bigger."

"Let your people relax, let's talk about some of our own things." The princess took the initiative to hold the prince, and then walked to a side hall. Countess Laura is responsible for the things in the hall.

"How do you feel? Are you shocked? Does Ruprecht know? After I decided to become your wife, I have been working hard for our future and South Germany! We can't let the war ruin our In the future, our family and our kingdom!" When there were only two people left in the room, Princess Mary was a little excited to tell her closest people what she couldn't say for outsiders.

"Remember what I told you? My dowry will be an empire! If the Austro-Hungarian empire is destined to perish, then I hope we can re-establish our own kingdom on this collapsed enemy country! Habsburg The royal family and the Wittelsbach royal family will merge together!"

"And you are now preparing for this fusion? Are you ready to truly integrate Bavaria and Austria?" The prince was surprised when he heard this! Because he didn't expect it to be nothing more than a joke in his opinion, and his future princess really worked hard in this regard.

"Of course, you said that the Austro-Hungarian Empire will inevitably collapse, and our time is running out. We naturally have to race against time. Whether the difficulties come from home or abroad, neither Prussia nor Austria can stop our plan, Rupley Hit, are you willing to stay under Prussia forever? This is very different from what you did." The princess said excitedly.

"I want to improve Bavaria's position in the German League, but if we want to change from quantitative to qualitative, from the second largest kingdom in Germany to a big country comparable to Prussia, our power is far from enough. Prussia is economically Ours is about four times, and the military power is almost this number. As for the merger of Austria and Bavaria, this is not feasible. At least it is now." The prince said calmly, and he tried to persuade Mary, who was "too courageous." your Highness.

"Are you worried about Bavaria being annexed by Austria? Or worried about the future dominance? Is that true?" A sneer appeared at the corner of Princess Mary's mouth. "Man, I really can't be without power for a day!"

"It has nothing to do with this! A dualistic empire itself is not stable, such as Austria-Hungary, and Bismarck also excluded Austria from the German system for this reason. The Prussian government would not agree to it. Bavaria has no ability to digest a country 4 times larger than itself! What's more, ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ There are too many people ahead of you on the issue of succession, whether it is Ferdinand or Carl or someone else. You can't take over a kingdom." The prince found that the person in front of him was already a bit paranoid.

"These are not problems. The nobles and the people will only follow the real strong. You are a strong, but it is a pity that you did not realize how much influence you have! If the Austro-Hungarian Empire really collapsed At that time, only Bavaria, the nearest to Austria, can control the situation. In order to ensure that Austria’s resources can continue to be used on the battlefield, the Kaiser will even ask the Kingdom of Bavaria to stabilize the situation in Austria as soon as possible. We have a lot of room to operate. There are people who support you too!" said the princess.

"What's more, do you think that if the German Empire survives World War 1 after the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and gains a large territory to the east, can Bavaria still maintain its current status?" Princess Mary's face was rare. A hint of sarcasm.

"You are wrong. If Germany fails, you will certainly lose the throne, but if Germany is completely victorious and Bavaria does not make great progress, then the Kingdom of Bavaria will not be better. The status is lower than it is now. Rights will also be weakened!" Princess Mary said word by word.

"This shouldn't be." Hearing these words, the prince was also a little wilted. He couldn't think of it, if Germany were to win, what would be the disadvantage for Bavaria?
