Chapter 2419 Meet Two

Obviously, everyone knows that if the German side wants to discuss some confidential matters with Gustav V this time, then only Crown Prince Ruprecht can make a decision! Even at the diplomatic level, his power is greater than that of the Kaiser! Because it is recognized by the three giants in Germany that the crown prince is responsible for the foreign affairs of Europe and the United States! But now, Ruprecht actually chooses to leave the venue with him temporarily, which really makes him a little confused, what kind of medicine is sold in the crown prince's gourd!

Of course, some people may say that this is Germany. Even if Ruprecht is not there, other people can discuss some things with Gustav V. This may indeed exist. But just imagine, if this is the case, then Ruprecht only needs to squeeze Brandt away. There is no need to leave by yourself.

"Your Excellency, today's script is a bit beyond my expectations." Gustav V said, looking at Crown Prince Ruprecht and Blanting who left with some surprise.

"No matter what we talk about, if we want to implement it in the end, we must get the approval of your government. This is something that cannot be avoided. Since it cannot be avoided, why don't we actively deal with it?" Grand Duke Baden said. Gustav V continued with a somewhat embarrassed face. "Under the current circumstances, your Excellency's idea of ​​strengthening the royal power through the external influence of the empire is difficult to implement. After all, Sweden has restricted the royal power since the beginning of the eighteenth century, and the monarch's power has been weakening for hundreds of years. , we can't change all this in just a few days. Don't you think?"

For this relative's thoughts, the Grand Duke of Baden understands very well that wanting to restore Sweden's past glory is one of the aspects, but more importantly, he wants to restore the rights of the royal family. But this point is not so easy to agree to for the German Empire. The reason is very simple. Germany will not offend a country and its citizens that could have been a trading partner for the sake of a certain person's desire for power! There is no conflict of fundamental interests between Sweden and Germany, and even Germany does not force Sweden to send troops once the war resumes like Finland, because Sweden has no reason! After all, Sweden and Russia do not border!

Germany's current strategy for Sweden is to pull it into the European Union dominated by Germany and Austria, and then benefit each other through the division of labor! Sweden is not the same as Finland. If you look at Ericsson, Bofors, and Nobel Industries Group, which are very famous industrial giants in later generations, you can know that Sweden’s industrial and scientific research capabilities are not weak, but in some respects they are very strong, such as Ericsson for communications, Bofors for artillery, and Nobel Industries for chemicals. For powerful, non-hostile countries, Germany mainly focuses on wooing, so even if the Grand Duke of Baden and Gustav V are relatives, he will never make any promises to Gustav.

Of course, Germany still has to take care of Gustav V's mood. After all, everyone is relatives and potential allies. If it works well, Sweden may be very close to Germany in the future! "I think the most important thing you need to do now is not to fight for power, but to repackage the royal family! At least we need to let the Swedish people realize that the king is not just a symbol of Sweden, he has the ability and brains to serve Sweden. To create a better future, for example, if the mutually beneficial cooperation between Germany and Sweden can be created by you in the future, it will undoubtedly be a huge boost to your prestige. When we have a prestige, we can gradually spread among the people to extend their influence in the State, Parliament and Government."

This method was thought up by Ruprecht to help Gustav V, and there is a reason for this! Because, Gustav VI, the son of Gustav V, redefined and packaged the Swedish royal family in this way! After Gustav VI ascended the throne,

There used to be quite a few people in Sweden who wanted to abolish the monarchy completely!

During the reign of Gustav VI, he successfully reversed the views of the domestic people on the royal family, making the Swedish royal family more close to the people, and he defined the king as the middleman of various political forces in the country, using his personality and ability to communicate with each other. Partisan, he has no scandals, has caused no trouble, and has won the approval of the Swedish people with this gesture! In this regard, he is much better than his father!

Gustav VI recognized the reality very well, and found his own position in reality! It is impossible to restore the monarchy! The monarch has become a symbol, then it will be difficult to regain power again! Instead of thinking about some unrealistic things, it is better to do this symbol well! Being close to the people and reconciling partisan conflicts can undoubtedly establish a very positive image.

The same is true of what the German Empire wants to do now. It is of no benefit to help Gustav V restore his rights rashly. On the contrary, it is the best choice for Gustav V to use his special relationship as a bridge for cooperation between Germany and Sweden! While communicating the relationship between the two countries, the importance of the king will naturally increase. Let's not say how much power can be regained in the end, but the influence will definitely increase.

"Believe me, Your Majesty, in this world, we are your best friends, and we hope to see you play a greater role in Sweden in the future. Your promise." The Grand Duke of Baden said earnestly.

"I believe in you, my dearest relative." Gustav V nodded and said.

"Next, His Majesty the Kaiser and His Royal Highness Crown Prince Ruprecht will meet with you alone to discuss some issues. I believe that if we operate properly, the next time the Crown Prince meets with you, that annoying Bu Lan Ting will not appear in the venue." Grand Duke Baden said.

"Really? This guy is very stubborn, like a rock!" Gustav V was obviously very dissatisfied with Branting.

"Blanting is nothing more than a stone, while Crown Prince Ruprecht is steel." The Grand Duke of Baden said with a smile.

"Hehe, let's wait for the good news from the Crown Prince of Bavaria tonight." Gustav V seemed to be infected, so he said with a smile.

At the same time, Crown Prince Ruprecht and Karl Yalmar Branting had arrived in a relatively remote room. The room was not big and the interior was not luxurious. But it was very comfortable. How should I put it, it feels a bit like the light luxury of later generations.
