Chapter 1882 Birds of a Feather Flock Together and People Are Divided Into Groups Three

"As expected." The Grand Duke said in his heart. The Russian Poland area is relatively developed, and it is relatively close to the German mainland, so it is naturally a sought-after product. The Russian hinterland is not as good as the Polish area, and the distance is also far away, but it can be allocated. There are many. If you don’t choose a place, Württemberg should be able to get a territory not smaller than the mainland. As for the Transcaucasus region, the most valuable is the oil field. On the one hand, it seems that Bavaria can share profits but will not hand over management Power, and a large number of troops are needed. How many troops does Wurttemberg have in total? This is a game of great powers, and it is obviously not something Württemberg can easily participate in.

"It's not in a hurry now, Grand Duke, we still have enough events to think about this issue. I hope that the Grand Duchy of Württemberg can continue the traditional friendship between our three countries in South Germany." August III said. "If you don't mind, I still have some things to do, let's leave first."

"You are free. In addition, please convey the gratitude of the Kingdom of Württemberg for the assistance of the Kingdom of Bavaria to His Royal Highness the King and Crown Prince of Bavaria. We will continue to unite for our common interests." Grand Duke Albrecht said .

While representatives of the two kingdoms of Württemberg and Saxony were communicating, in another room, the Grand Duke of Baden, Prince Albert of Prussia, and Grand Duke Friedrich of Oldenburg were also discussing how to In response to this meeting, Prussia and the two grand duchies formed the core force of the Kaiser faction. They also have their own demands.

"I would like to ask a question now. In this meeting, is the Kingdom of Bavaria our friend or our enemy? Or is it just a neutral role?" Archduke Friedrich asked.

"It's hard to say. In fact, we have been uncertain about Bavaria's attitude so far. Before the incident broke out, Crown Prince Ruprecht reminded us to strengthen the management of supplies to deal with unexpected events, but now? They have not accepted us. Bavaria seems to be trying to weaken our attitude and help the parliament in certain matters." The Grand Duke of Baden said.

"But even if Bavaria is not friendly, we still can't take revenge, can't we?" Archduke Friedrich asked.

"It's like this. This meeting will only resolve the issue of the interests of other states except Prussia. The newly added territory that is now assigned to Prussia belongs to us and the parliamentary faction in the future. However, how to divide it is still full of variables. Therefore, we cannot target Bavaria at this time," said the Grand Duke of Baden.

"So who are our allies this time? What's the attitude of the others?" Friedrich asked.

"As for you and me in the Grand Duchy, the Grand Duchy of Hesse and the two Grand Duchesses of Mecklenburg tend to lean towards Bavaria, and the attitude of Saxony-Weimar is unclear, but it seems that they have reached some tacit agreement with the parliamentarians. As for the other small states , they are more following the trend. The parliamentary faction may get the support of the 3 free cities and the Alsace-Lorraine region. Generally speaking, we are evenly matched with the parliamentary faction, but not as good as Bavaria." The Grand Duke of Baden thought for a while and said .

"After all, this time is a grand event for distributing cakes. Doesn't the Grand Duchy of Baden have any ideas?" Friedrich asked.

"What we want is the area around Vilnius (located on the border between Lithuania and Belarus in later generations), obtained from the area controlled by His Majesty the Emperor, with an area of ​​about 30,000 square kilometers. I am going to call it the second Baden .” The Grand Duke of Baden said with some pride.

With the power of the Grand Duchy of Baden, a grand duchy with an original territory of only 15,000 square kilometers, and almost never participated in the Eastern Front battle.

Being able to obtain such a place on the Eastern Front is already a blessing from the Kaiser. After all, this place is completely separated from the Prussian control area. The Kaiser is still very good about himself as an absolute hardcore. As for giving more places? The Grand Duchy of Baden itself can't support it. You must know that the Grand Duchy of Württemberg has nearly a legion of troops. With twice the territory, it can only get such a large area in the hinterland of Russia.

"That's really congratulations, Your Excellency." Friedrich said with a smile.

"If you have any requirements, you can also say so." At this moment, Prince Albert, who had been silent all this time, spoke.

"Your Highness should be very clear that Oldenburg is not too powerful in the Grand Duchy, so we don't have too many extravagant expectations for the territory, but if we can give us a port on the coast of the Baltic Sea, we will be satisfied." Free Derry thought for a while and said.

"This is not a problem. Except for the Gulf of Riga, you can choose any other place." Prince Albert said.

"Why can't Riga Bay be chosen?" The old man frowned slightly, and said with some dissatisfaction.

"Because, this place has been reserved by the two grand duchies of Mecklenburg. Their families have suffered heavy losses in this turmoil, so they need some compensation. Bavaria supports these two grand duchies, and the parliament faction has expressed understanding. What's more, The Grand Duchy of Mecklenburg-Schmerin also paid a lot in this war." Prince Albert said in as tactful a tone as possible.

"It seems that this time, Bavaria used Prussia's interests in exchange for other people's loyalty to him? It's really... not very good." Friedrich said dissatisfied.

"Sometimes you have to give in. Your Excellency the Grand Duke can think carefully about what you want. His Majesty the Kaiser can always meet your needs." Prince Albert said.

"This is not urgent. The key is that His Majesty's authority must be maintained this time. I will contact the leaders of other states. I think they will make a choice that satisfies us." Archduke Friedrich Opening the topic, obviously, it is not a good choice to continue bargaining at this time. Since he decided to stand on the side of Prussia, he must do something to get the benefits. work!

If it is said that Bavaria is using the exchange of interests to unite its allies, the Kaiser's side is an alliance formed entirely by marriage. Then this is real party politics on the parliamentary side! Outside the venue, Albert met with representatives of other states in Prussia at a villa far from the city. Most of these representatives are the leaders of some small states.
