Chapter 1890 Meeting Break
"Bart, the centrist of the Social Democratic Party, and Buhler, who is in charge of the military, have also come to Munich?" Ruprecht asked after looking at the report sent by Earl Schelling.
"It's like this. They also held secret talks with Albert. After that, the attitude of the parliamentary faction changed. They expressed their willingness to cooperate with us in the Transcaucasus region." Earl Schelling said.
"It seems that there are some sensible people in the parliamentary faction." Ruprecht said while holding his chin. "It's good to deal with people who understand. It seems that we can change the way we do some things. We can talk to them openly and honestly. This will save a lot of trouble."
Does intrigue work? Naturally it is useful, otherwise this thing will not run through the entire human history. However, within a system, facing other mountains that cannot be completely overwhelmed and need to coexist for a long time, sometimes it is a very good choice to be open and honest. After all If it is calculated, if you do the first grade of junior high school today, they can do the fifteenth grade tomorrow. In that country, there has been internal fighting all day long, and it is still developing!
Therefore, Ruprecht wants to hold a closed-door meeting attended by Bavaria, the Kaiser, and the parliament to discuss future German internal affairs and development issues. In this regard, the prince believes that he has an innate advantage. After all, from the earliest hardened armor to the later Southern Industrial Group, the prince is not only a politician and soldier, but also has very rich experience in construction. And when he was also the regent of Bohemia-Moravia, the prince was able to deal with foreign issues with ease. He can be regarded as one of the few experts on ethnic issues in Germany. It is authoritative!
What is authority? Authority means that others may not understand what you say, but they think it is very powerful! They can't help but trust the prince, especially if they don't mix too much politics and interests. If the atmosphere in Ruprecht's bar is set a little more relaxed during this meeting, then the persuasion effect will be the best! Of course, what if the persuasion effect is not good? That's okay, anyway, the prince's Bavaria has nothing to do. The prince is preparing for this closed-door meeting, and at least 7 of them have become empires.
"Your Highness, His Majesty the King asked me to ask you a question." Earl Schelling's words sounded again at this moment. The prince nodded to signal Earl Schelling to continue.
"Your Majesty would like to know, in the future, will your stage be in Berlin, the capital of the empire, or in Munich?"
"Hehe, that's a good question." Ruprecht sighed and said, "In the future, our focus will be on Munich and Vienna, but Berlin is too far away from us. For the people of Bavaria, it is already very good to have the current environment in Bavaria. If you want to go further, I am afraid that you will have to wait until 20 years later. Therefore, leave Berlin to Wilhelm II and the parliamentarians, and we will just be a bystander. Well, it doesn’t make much sense to care about Berlin’s political affairs, because I know that the most important reason for Bavaria to come to this point is because of our own strength, not purely political operations.”
Ruprecht was not dazzled by the victory. He now knows what Bavaria wants. It is focused on construction, and has little to do with the political issues of the central government. As long as the central government does not interfere in Bavaria, and as long as the projects and research and development that the prince wants to promote can continue, Ruprecht doesn't want to meddle in Berlin's business at all.
For the current princes, how much central power and money they can get is no longer the main goal. A king measures your strength by your country, not by how much money your family has.
The prince wanted to set up a multiple veto system and a special department to serve domestic construction. The multiple veto system is to prevent the other two parties from easily interfering in the empire's government affairs, and to limit the spread of party politics within the kingdom. If there was a political struggle between the Kaiser and the parliament that had nothing to do with Bavaria, the prince's attitude would at least be neutral. Therefore, compared with the other two factions, Bavaria currently has the lowest demand for rights in Berlin.
If Bavaria now shows excessive concern for the rights of Berlin, then as a southern German and a Catholic, Bavaria will naturally be hostile and excluded by the Prussian system dominated by Protestants and North Germans. The result of this political confrontation is not necessarily a loss for Bavaria. But the question is where is the benefit? You have worked so hard and used too many resources, but it is difficult to get what you want, then you are really losing money. It's better to be like now, just detached from the matter, and secretly manipulate the situation to develop in the direction you want. And with the current strength of Bavaria, as long as they don't want the core regime of the empire, then no one is willing to stop this behemoth!
"Your Majesty will be relieved when you say that." Earl Schelling said with a long breath.
"Another question is about where you will stay in the future. There is no problem with His Majesty the King now, but if one day you take over the throne, are you in Munich or Vienna? It doesn't seem to matter anyway. Reasonable." Earl Schelling asked.
"This is indeed a problem." Ruprecht shook his head helplessly and said. The current Austro-Hungarian Empire is not the previous dual empire. After removing the thorn in Hungary, the central power has been greatly strengthened, and a large number of colonies have been acquired, which greatly increases the strength of the new Austrian Empire. , It is said that it is much more convincing than the Holy Roman Empire back then. As a husband and wife, Ruprecht and Princess Mary may not care too much about the issue of residence, but don't forget that their identities determine that their every move represents their own kingdom!
The new Austrian Empire can be called a world-class top power, and Bavaria will also surpass France in the future, and these two countries are monarchies, and the monarch has the highest power. It is not right for the future Queen Mary to reside in Munich It is possible, but it is also impossible to have Ruprecht permanently in Vienna....
"In the future, Salzburg can be considered as the residence of Crown Prince Mary and me. It belongs to Austria now, but it used to belong to Bavaria, and both sides can accept it. As for the future? Both sides can choose Lviv." The prince thought for a while Said.
