Chapter 2371 Blocking the Door II
As for how to save face? It's simple, delay time! If everyone's cars have arrived in front of the Sanssouci Palace, then they must be in order if they want to get in! Ruprecht was the first, the reason is very simple, he is not only the Crown Prince of Bavaria, but also the commander-in-chief of the Eastern Front of the Empire, the Marshal of the Empire, the Marshal of the Imperial Army and the Navy! His status and record made him deserved to be the first to go!
Then there is Albrecht, the Grand Duke of Württemberg. His status is definitely not as good as that of the Grand Duke of Baden. If ordinary nobles gather, he will give way to the Grand Duke of Baden. But it is different now. He represents the Grand Duchy of Württemberg! The status represented by the Kingdom is naturally higher than that represented by the Grand Duchy! In addition, he also has an outstanding record, and no one dares to grab the second place.
The third place is intriguing. Who is the Archduke of Baden or the Crown Prince of Saxony? Saxony is the kingdom, and logically it should be in the front, but as a crown prince who is only 22 years old, he must be much worse than the experienced Grand Duke of Baden on the opposite side, in terms of experience and ability. But it’s different if someone helps him. If the Grand Duke of Baden dares to go ahead, then Ruprecht will personally remind the Grand Duke of Baden that Christian is the crown prince and the representative of the kingdom! Then Grand Duke Albrecht of Württemberg will pull Christian over before the opponent can react! that is it!
As for how to line up in the back, the crown prince doesn't care, you can do whatever you want. Of course, you have to say, the Sanssouci Palace is so big, do you have to go through this door? Of course not, you can go through the side door, but if you go through the side door, you will definitely lose your momentum. It's up to you to choose! And before Ruprecht came, Albrecht was in charge of blocking the door! No one will let go!
As for whether the Kaiser will adopt some radical means? It should not be, because he has no reason and no reason to implement it! In principle, the Duke said that he was willing to wait for Ruprecht, that is his own business, you can let someone get out of the way, but if you get out of the way, the Grand Duke of Baden is here, so you can go in directly? The other three kingdoms haven't come yet, so you go first? Can we see this incident as a provocation? The negotiation between the Kaiser and Ruprecht is actually weak, and the Kaiser will naturally not give the other party a handle just for the sake of face!
"Okay, leave the rest to us. Remember your father's telegram? Let it be. That's it. Today, so many high-level officials from the Kingdom and the Grand Duchy taught you this lesson. The cost and price are very high .How much you can learn depends on you.” Duke Albrecht said meaningfully.
It is also one of the purposes of the Crown Prince to educate the future successors of the Kingdom of Saxony through facts. After all, no one wants their teammate to be a pig teammate... Bavaria does not ask how much the Kingdom of Saxony can pay, but it must not be persuaded at critical moments, right? As Albrecht said, before you, Saxon, confessed to be cowardly, we didn’t say anything, but now, the situation is very favorable, if you continue to be cowardly, it will be unreasonable, and obviously, let Christian experience more Some things play a very important role in the development of his character! He must understand something in today's lesson, who are Saxony's friends? How does a kingdom determine its status within the empire. And, one must be able to handle stress!
Of course, as a respect for the Kingdom of Saxony, the Crown Prince will definitely notify the King of Saxony. As for this arrangement, if the King of Saxony really wants to refuse, then the Crown Prince will not enforce it. After all, if the Kingdom of Saxony does not want to lose face, What else is Bavaria fighting for?
In the end, the King of Saxony agreed, and sent a telegram to Crown Prince Christian to guarantee the dignity of the kingdom. Let it take its course, there is nothing wrong with this telegram! Going with the flow is obviously asking him to follow the arrangement of Ruprecht and the Duke,
The guarantee of dignity is naturally on the issue of ranking. As for why he didn't explain it in advance, the explanation that the King of Saxony gave his son afterwards was: people must learn to face some unexpected things!
"Do your own thing well. It is not only us who are looking at you, but also your future opponents." Finally, Grand Duke Albrecht said to Crown Prince Christian earnestly.
"Tell the chief guard to stop the convoy." Crown Prince Christian took a deep breath and said.
However, at this time, the convoy of the Grand Duke of Baden and the Grand Duke of Oldenburg had also arrived near the Palace of Sanssouci, and before approaching the palace, an officer of the Kaiser's Guard stopped the convoy and came to the Grand Duke of Baden's before.
"Your Excellency, there seems to be some problem ahead. The convoys of the Kingdom of Württemberg and the Kingdom of Saxony are blocking the door." The officer whispered.
"Shouldn't they go in first?" The Grand Duke of Baden frowned and said.
"They said they need to wait for the arrival of Crown Prince Ruprecht, Marshal of the Empire. We obviously have no reason to let them go." The officer continued.
Naturally, the so-called blocked doors cannot completely block the roads like the so-called demonstrations, and then cause traffic jams. After all, the Sanssouci Palace is the Kaiser's palace outside Berlin, and there will definitely not be many people coming and going, and the space at the door is also limited. It is big enough, and it is impossible for the vehicles of the two kingdoms to be placed in disorder, that is to lose their own family. The normal passage is reserved, but the passage is left, can you go? Talking about business today, the main entrance is reserved for the representatives of various states, and other palace staff can only go through the side entrance. The only ones who can leave are today's representatives. Bavaria hasn't come yet, and representatives from Württemberg and Saxony are waiting, and then others go in first? Is this a provocation?
"Today's affairs are a bit difficult, brother." Prince Max von Baden, who was sitting by the side, whispered to the Grand Duke of Baden. "Your Majesty's actions seem to have aroused serious dissatisfaction from the Bavarian side."
"Stop the convoy first, and tell His Excellency the Duke of Oldenburg behind, and let him wait for a while." The Grand Duke of Baden said with a complex expression.
"What do you mean?" The Grand Duke of Baden glanced at his younger brother, who will be the future heir of the Grand Duchy of Baden. The Grand Duke wanted to hear his opinion.
"Obviously we can't break out too fierce a conflict with the Southern Kingdom now, but if we go in one by one according to the representatives of the states and their entourages, we may be behind the Kingdom of Saxony. This is impolite to you .”
Prince Baden thought for a while and said. Of course, the so-called impoliteness is also based on the fact that the Grand Duke of Baden has a higher personal status than Christian. After all, he is the Kaiser's in-laws and he is still the real power grand duke. This can be regarded as the prince's way of taking care of his brother's face.
