Chapter 688: Bargain one

"Congratulations on your victory, Ruprecht, my son-in-law." When the prince met the Austrian Emperor, the Austrian Emperor said with a big smile.

   "Thank you, Your Majesty." Ruprecht also said with a smile. "The Kingdom of Bavaria is willing to use iron and fire to consolidate the friendship between the two sides, and your country will also reward us, won't you?"

   "It depends on how well you have achieved it." Ferdinand said blankly.

"We are fully responsible for the line from Bomia to Moravia. I promise that as long as the garrisons of Bomia and Moravia obey our arrangements, the Austro-Hungarian Empire will not lose an inch of land!" Ruprech Special said.

   "It seems that we can't keep it." Crown Prince Ferdinand sneered.

"Nonsense, of course you can't keep it! If it weren't for Germany to send hundreds of thousands of troops later, the Russian army would be parade in Prague and Vienna in half a year! Let alone fight with the Russians, the most severe beating by Serbia would be It's shameful." Ruprecht cursed in his heart.

   "Yes, what's in doubt about the battlefield. Well, if the Austro-Hungarian Empire can guarantee that the Russian military boots will not step on its own territory, how about my request be nullified?" the prince said

   "You are contempt for the imperial army!" Ferdinand said loudly. In his opinion, as a big country, he could not bear such a naked contempt for his own military.

"You are too excited. The army is not because you are the crown prince, so you must be right. I am a prince, and I must be wrong. And isn't the request I made very valuable? If expensive If Fang wins, I will work for nothing," Ruprecht said dismissively.

   "Enough, Ruprecht, your attitude is very unfriendly, and too arrogant!" The Austrian Emperor said with a gloomy face.

"I'm just stating a fact. The future war will be very difficult to fight. This is already the consensus of the high-level military of the German Empire. You don't think that the Kaiser's sudden decision to hold this exercise is a whim? If we say that we are on the Western Front. The question is whether it can be captured, then whether the Eastern Front can be defended from the start!"

"You are very aware of the recent eastern plan made by the Prussian General Staff. In addition to my Bavarian army, Little Mochi also left another army group. These two army groups can reach 500,000 troops in wartime! Austrian! How many troops can the Hungarian Empire maintain on the Eastern Front when it first started war? I think this number is no more than 900,000."

"Well, you don't think that I and Xiao Moqi are fools, leaving a large number of troops on the eastern border? How effective is the combat effectiveness of the 500,000 Prussian and Bavarian legions? I think you can have a correct assessment in your mind. If we only guarantee the safety of eastern Prussia, can you guarantee your own safety? And from recent data analysis, there is an 80% probability that the Russians will concentrate their forces on the Austro-Hungarian Empire!" Ruprecht said.

The so-called roughness is not rough, Germany has used practical methods to express its dissatisfaction with the combat effectiveness of the Austro-Hungarian Army. Although Xiao Moqi and Conrad have negotiated, the Eastern Front is led by the Austro-Hungarian Army, but the current situation is obviously Germany. A considerable military force is still deployed on the Eastern Front. Even if the Bavarian Legion is strong, East Prussia still has a Legion. The reasons for this can be understood on the knees. Obviously I can't believe in Austria-Hungary.

  Moreover, the prince’s estimate of the size of the Austro-Hungarian army is pretty similar. Judging from the current plan, the Austro-Hungarian Empire can indeed only concentrate about 870,000 troops in the four armies on the northern front. Half a million Germans and 870,000 Austro-Hungarian troops confronted. It is estimated that the latter will be crushed, right? Since Germany has made such an arrangement to ensure its own security, the four armies of the Austro-Hungarian Empire are not enough. If the Russians maintain a defensive position in the northwest and concentrate their forces on the offensive against the Austro-Hungarian Army, the Austrian Emperor will wait. There is no bottom in people's hearts.

   "Speak your request." The Austrian Emperor really didn't want to be entangled with Ruprecht in the military, so he decided to go straight to the topic.

"I want to give my wife, your daughter, Princess Mary the title and power of a certain Bohemian Moravian Grand Duke of Moravia. And in the future, there will be both Habsburg royal blood and Wittelsbach. The descendants of blood come to inherit the position of the Grand Duke."

"My wife does not participate in the internal politics of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. It belongs to the Kingdom of Austria, but should have full internal powers, military, financial, and personnel power. And the imperial government should allow the Kingdom of Bavaria and Bohemia Moravia. There are more ways for people and materials to flow in between. The Grand Duke should use his sword to protect the rights and interests of the empire, but the empire must pay enough compensation.” Ruprecht thought for a while and continued: “The Bohemian government has With considerable autonomy, if the local head is directly under the Habsburg family and has the ability to control the situation, it would be a good thing for the empire itself, right?"

  "Do you want to establish a Bavarian kingdom within the Austro-Hungarian Empire?" Grand Duke Ferdinand sneered.

"Actually, within the German Empire, the Kingdom of Bavaria has greater autonomy. At least we still have diplomats in some countries. We have the right to vote in the Federal Parliament. The Kingdom of Bavaria can be allowed to exist in the German Empire~www.wuxiaspot .com~The Austro-Hungarian Empire can allow national autonomy, so what can't my request be passed?"

"And in my opinion, if your country really has an internal country like Bavaria, it might be more convenient to do something, at least I don't have to stand here." Ruprecht didn't mind the other party at all. Attitude.

  "You met with the Kaiser, does the Kaiser agree with you?" Fritz asked.

"Why did the German Emperor disagree? Anyway, this is something within the Austro-Hungarian Empire. These two provinces are still within the territory of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. A kingdom and a Grand Duchy under the name of the Wittelsbach family always belong to two Empire, what is there to worry about with you?" Ruprecht asked rhetorically.

   "Change a condition, the price is too high for this condition." Ao Huang said.

   "The conditions are not high at all, Bohemia is the need, and Moravia is the reward." The prince shook his head and insisted.

"Since General Conrad is here, I think everything will be much more convenient. From a military standpoint, whether you like it or not, if you want to increase the combat effectiveness of the Austro-Hungarian Army as much as possible, then the Czech Army in Bomia Must be incorporated into our combat system." The prince still decided to defeat his opponent in his best field!
