Chapter 654: Multi-party attention
Just last month, Prince Ferdinand of the Austro-Hungarian Empire came to Berlin. When the two sides communicated, they would naturally mention the future war, and when they mentioned the Eastern Front, they would naturally mention the prince and his Bavaria. Legion, you know, the prince was the one who originally supported the Austro-Hungarian Empire to build the Austro-Hungarian Legion, so Grand Duke Ferdinand was very concerned about the combat effectiveness of this army.
"If the Bavarian Legion's model does not meet our expectations for combat effectiveness, I would prefer to build the army according to the original model. This is at least safe." The Austrian-Hungarian side also has scruples and they want to get back the Germans. Aid, spend whatever you want. It is not that there is a person above, even if this person is the emperor's son-in-law.
Regarding the proposal of Grand Duke Ferdinand, the Kaiser did not immediately express his position. First of all, this was an order issued by the Kaiser himself to make the prince responsible for all aid activities of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and withdraw it for no reason. The other party is definitely not satisfied, and he himself There is no excuse, because a sentence of Grand Duke Ferdinand that caused the disagreement between the two states is obviously not a crime. And just in case, Ruprecht can really produce some results?
Secondly, he does not trust Austria-Hungary very much, or he does not trust the execution ability of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. His family is one hegemony and more powerful. When the relationship between the boss and the second child is good, he can do all kinds of wrangling. Now it's a double strong, isn't this wrangling more powerful? It is obviously an inefficient method to give all the funds to Austria-Hungary for free disposal. And if the Prussians were to supervise it, the Austro-Hungarian Empire would certainly not be willing.
However, although he did not express his position, the Kaiser had already planned to claim that the Bavarian Army was too weak. Although Xiaomoqi and others have visited Bavaria several times, they all watched them conduct and perform themselves. How can there be two armies? No routines, no scripts, unlimited confrontation, refreshing?
And when the report of Xiao Moqi was sent, after seeing that the funds that could feed 8 armies only supported 5 armies, the Kaiser finally couldn't help it. He must see what the Bavarian army is in this exercise. Level, where did those precious marks and dollars go!
When Little Mochi went back to plan this year’s annual exercise again, the Kaiser was not idle, and told Grand Duke Ferdinand about his plan to let the Bavarian Army participate in the military exercise. After all, the latter also has the right to know? After that, he planned to revise a book to King Ludwig III and Ruprecht of Bavaria to illustrate this problem. First, explain that I have no malice, and explain that it is to enhance the friendship and mutual understanding between the two armies, and finally explain that if the Kingdom of Bavaria performs well, then the German government will increase the amount when it allocates US dollar loans.
"Ruprecht is a very realistic person. Nothing he does is based on interests. If you can see this clearly, it will be easy to get along with him. He doesn't care about the aristocracy. He doesn't care about his identity, he is just looking for partners one by one." The Kaiser commented in his diary.
Subsequently, William II prepared to arrange personnel to contact Ruprecht. The personnel of the German General Staff were naturally in charge of the small Mochi. This time the German royal family also intends to send people. The eldest Prince William is obviously not suitable. Some Exceeding the standard, and among the remaining sons, His Majesty finally chose the third son, Prince Albert.
Whenever he encountered something he was interested in, William II was very efficient. In a short period of time, he had sent telegrams to Vienna and Munich, and the Prussian General Staff also quickly started planning. We are left to wait and see the reply from all parties.
Grand Duke Ferdinand first got the letter, and the first reaction was naturally to hand it to His Majesty Fritz. However, when he walked into the study, he found a person whom the Grand Duke wanted to see most now. Those were the three daughters of His Majesty Fritz, the Princess of the Austro-Hungarian Empire who had just returned to the province, and Princess Mary, the wife of Ruprecht.
"Hold the grass, what's the situation?!" Grand Duke Ferdinand was a little confused. To be honest, the words I said in Berlin and Wilhelm II already had the meaning of shooting a gun behind his back. And now, the black gun effect has appeared, and William II is going to call the Bavarian legion the jinliang, and when he came to the emperor with a telegram, he happened to run into the wife of the Lord. What an embarrassing thing.
"The Kaiser calls." Grand Duke Ferdinand sent a telegram to the Austrian Kaiser.
"The Kaiser wants to see the combat effectiveness of the Bavarian Legion, and I just want to see if our son-in-law is still good." After reading the telegram, the Austrian emperor first set the tone, that is, this matter at least On the surface, it seems that it was proposed by the German Emperor, so please don't think about it, and don't make trouble for me. Secondly, the Austrian Emperor really wanted to see if the Bavarian Army was worth relying on.
"It is very unfriendly to temporarily modify the exercise plan." Princess Mary said with a cold face.
"That is an internal matter in Germany, Your Royal Highness." Grand Duke Ferdinand said embarrassingly.
"The Kaiser will pay for this offense, what about the Austro-Hungarian Empire?" Princess Mary looked at the Grand Duke and asked back.
"Will the Kaiser pay the bill?" Grand Duke Ferdinand said with some surprise.
"Of course, whether this exercise will be successful depends on whether the Kingdom of Bavaria agrees. After all, time is already very tight, and the scale of the transfer is large. The Kingdom of Bavaria has plenty of excuses." Princess Mary said.
It’s simple to say, it’s actually that the Kaiser and Austrian emperors expressed doubts about Ruprecht’s way of spending money and the effect of doing so. I want to check that if it’s normal, it won’t be so troublesome. But now, the Kaiser suddenly made a decision in the morning to revise the annual exercise plan to allow Bavaria and Prussia to conduct an unlimited military exercise close to actual combat ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ This seems to be very different from many people. Appropriate, at least in Princess Mary's view, this is a distrust and provocation to her husband!
"Your Royal Highness believes in your husband, and I do the same, but you should know that we are under very great pressure and there are already many opinions in the country, especially the Hungarian Parliament. They think that our distribution method is problematic and we must consider These opposing voices." Another identity of Princess Mary is the prince and concubine of Bavaria. As an important ally and relative of Austria-Hungary, Grand Duke Ferdinand must also make a superficial explanation, and more importantly, the attitude of the Austrian emperor. It's not obvious yet. After all, Ruprecht is the son-in-law of King Fritz.
"If Ruprecht is right, I will give him greater rights and help, and I will definitely satisfy him. We are discussing the future of the empire. Please put face and humanity on the back. Maybe, Ruprecht is looking for a chance to prove himself." King Fritz said. "I will go in person."
