Chapter 2394: Father and Son One

"What do you think? My child." The Kaiser did not comment. Instead, ask Prince Albert, who is seated on the left.

"Even though he came from a humble background, he is still capable. What's more, his current status and power are relatively large. It is understandable to be recommended by Crown Prince Ruprecht to participate in this salon. After all, we want to give that The Crown Prince of Bavaria is a face, but if Buhler participates, the nature of our salon will change a bit. After all, representatives from all the major states in the empire have arrived. Prime Minister." Prince Albert said after thinking for a while.

"The analysis is correct. Ruprecht changed the nature of the entire club with a small move, but we can't say anything. In the past 20 years of history, he has used such small moves to make profits and control the situation time and time again. , until now! I hate this very much." The Kaiser said with some dissatisfaction.

"But wouldn't it be great if you could get the main states in Germany to agree on some issues? And I think this topic is very deep, Europe! The center of the world is Europe, and if you can solve European problems, then We have solved 70% of the world's problems," said the Grand Duke of Baden.

"Well, you are right. This is a very meaningful salon. Although there are some accidents, the flaws are not concealed." The Kaiser finished speaking and picked up the tableware in his hand. "Okay then, let's eat now!"

"If there is nothing else, then I will take my leave first." After the meal, the Grand Duke of Baden got up and said.

"It's up to you," said the Kaiser.

"Your Majesty, are you really not going to invite the Grand Duke of Oldenburg?" The Grand Duke of Baden hesitated and said.

"Rupprecht has some very good ideas in his mind, and I think we should think them through, and it will take time. The date of the salon is going to be postponed, and the Grand Duke of Oldenburg is going back to the Duchy recently. So, really It's a pity." The Kaiser thought for a while and said.

"Well, I'm sorry." The Grand Duke of Baden wanted to say something, but hesitated for a while, and finally didn't speak.

"Brother, you are the closest person to me. In the entire empire, if there is one person who can support me unreservedly, then it must be you. I hope that our friendship can continue to future generations. The Hohenzollern family and Lu The Derwig family can share the same fate, if you have any comments, we can make it clear in person." The Kaiser stood up and said frankly to the Grand Duke of Baden.

"Okay, Your Majesty." The Kaiser's attitude surprised the Grand Duke of Baden, and he really wanted to say something. But after thinking about it, he turned his head and left the restaurant.

"Albert, you have a long and difficult road ahead." The Kaiser said to Prince Albert beside him. "I personally created a gap between you and your brother. I know it's very bad for you, but I have to do it again!"

"Do you know? Every action and action of the Grand Duke of Baden tonight has a very deep meaning. He has a prejudice against you, but I order you not to blame him. He is for the entire empire, but our starting point is different. , if you and the Grand Duchy of Baden turn against each other in the future, then the Hohenzollern family will not be far from the crown!" The Kaiser said with a sigh.

"I believe His Excellency the Grand Duke is justified in doing so," Prince Albert said.

"Do you know why I have worked so hard to train you?" the Kaiser asked.

"In order for me to assist my brother. In the future, if there is no reliable force in the hands of the royal family,

Then the so-called emperors and kings are just castles on the beach, and now, outsiders are not trustworthy. "Prince Albert said. The prince's words were very measured. He tried hard to suppress the devil named desire in his heart. In his dreams again and again, he could feel that he was not far away from the crown that symbolized supreme power. But reason told him that at least for now, this crown is not destined for him, not that he is inferior to the crown prince, but that the situation does not allow it!

"I have a hunch that the crown prince may not be able to become emperor smoothly in the future!" said the Kaiser. "He is even more unscrupulous than I was back then! He has no ability! And now, the imperial power is unprecedentedly weak! He has no friends, let alone reliable allies. I am worried that the Hohenzollern family will be dusted in his hands! So, I need a backup! Once he can't fulfill his responsibilities as a crown prince or emperor, you can take over for him!"

Was the Kaiser powerful before World War I? The answer is yes, but it does not mean that this power is completely unlimited. The Federal Parliament has the power to let the Kaiser step down! In history, William II did receive similar threats! When the imperial power was in full swing, William II could be threatened, so what about the future crown prince? This eldest son has done more than the Kaiser! Even worse! And the imperial power is even weaker! Therefore, the Kaiser's concerns are completely justified!

After so many things, Wilhelm II's ability and political wisdom are also growing! So he must be prepared, at least, he must leave a backup! He needs that when the crown prince is deposed, the Hohenzollern family can introduce a person who can be accepted by all parties and has certain abilities to inherit the rights and status of the Kaiser! And Prince Albert is the backhand!

Therefore, William II broke the taboo that non-heirs of the royal family should not have too much power! He began to train Prince Albert, just like being a prince. He let Prince Albert handle various things to improve his ability, and he let the prince deal with all aspects of the empire to manage his own contacts and relationship circle. What he did was so obvious that the Grand Duke of Baden and other close ministers wondered if the Kaiser had any intention of setting up another crown prince!

However, do you want to change the crown prince? I'm sorry, but now, looking at the grown-up Prince Albert, the Kaiser doesn't know whether he is planning to let the prince be a backup, or really intends to appoint another crown prince! The Kaiser is very tangled! Also very depressed!

But fortunately, the Kaiser still has time. He estimates that he still has more than 20 years to reign, and he can always straighten out these problems! But some things must be done now, for example, he can't let Prince Albert have a grudge against the Grand Duke of Baden! Because if there is a change of reserves in the future, the Grand Duchy of Oldenburg may not be reliable, and the Kaiser's real hardcore is estimated to be only the Grand Duchy of Baden!
