Chapter 2424: The Future Three

"You have already realized the shortcomings of Sweden and the importance of the European market to Sweden's development, so I don't think it is difficult to choose? No country likes a country that is in a hurry. We are like this, and the British are also like this. In this way, the fencers will always be unpopular, such as Italy," the crown prince said.

The so-called carrot and stick policy is like this. While giving benefits to the other party, don't forget to hold the big stick high to prevent some countries from making unwise moves. The benefits of Sweden joining the European Union are obviously much greater than the benefits of cooperating with Britain and Russia. Branting just said that if it really comes time to make a decision, the crown prince believes that he and the Swedish high-level will make the right choice, and if Sweden is obsessed with it, it will cooperate with Britain and Russia in the military and other fields. If so, then Germany will never be soft! After all, with a lot of good cards in his hand, how could he allow a small country to please both sides?

The Crown Prince thinks very clearly that the war between the Allies and Britain and Russia has never ended. Even if the two sides will not confront each other for the time being, the economic and political competition will still not stop. The European Union is not only the focus of the future development of Germany and Austria. At the same time, it is also a measure to weaken the United Kingdom! If the whole of Europe can reduce trade with Britain, then Britain will be very weak in the future!

"I can't decide on this issue. In fact, it doesn't help much if you tell me." Branting said with a sigh.

"How could it be useless? You will be the Prime Minister of Sweden three times in the future. If it wasn't because of illness, you can continue to work. Otherwise, I have talked so much nonsense with you?" Ruprecht said in his heart. The influence of the future prime minister of Sweden is very clear.

"Today's conversation is completely private. If you ask, we will not leave any minutes of the meeting. It doesn't matter whether you object or dissatisfy. But if one day, the German Empire will notify your country through official diplomatic channels If so, then everything will be business-like! We pay attention to the equality of giving and rewarding, we have paid sincerity, and hope that your country can repay you." The crown prince finally concluded.

"I will carefully consider what you said today," Branting said.

"That's good. Next, I'm going to discuss some personal issues with His Excellency Gustav V. Do you still have any ideas for accompanying me?" the crown prince asked.

"I don't think it's necessary..." After hesitating for a while, Branting finally gave up his attempt to continue to follow. After all, in his opinion, the crown prince had finished talking about all political topics, and he followed Gustav The fifth king came here to prevent the latter from overreaching in politics. But now, people have already confessed to you, so even if you say something to Gustav V, it probably won't exceed what you said to yourself before.

Moreover, Branting's impression of Germany has changed somewhat. After all, Germany has guaranteed that it will not force Sweden to join the military alliance. Although it has made some restrictions on Sweden's future trade and international relations, it has also provided certain conveniences. The consideration is not bad. And the crown prince is right, if Sweden cannot be integrated into the European continent, then the future of Sweden will have no future!

Sweden is different from Norway. It pursues an independent policy militarily, but it is economically inclined. For example, Sweden has historically been a member of the European Union, but not a member of NATO. In terms of military affairs, Sweden tried its best to ensure independence, while economically it chose to rely on the European continent. On the other hand, Norway is just the opposite. It has a military tendency, but it is relatively independent economically. Norway is a member of NATO but not a member of the European Union....

"How did it go?" After the prince left,

Duke Albrecht came up and asked.

"It's okay, they will make the right choice." The crown prince said.

"So, do you think that in the future, this Blanting will bring the relationship between the Empire and Sweden to a level that we are satisfied with?" the Duke asked.

"Maybe, maybe not, but it doesn't matter, no matter what Blanting does, I have already left behind. If Gustav V is willing to do what I say, then I think, whether he The desired rights, or the relationship between Sweden and Germany will be very easy to handle." The crown prince said with a smile.

Although, Ruprecht tried to pull Sweden to his side with both soft and hard methods, carrots and sticks, and although the crown prince was satisfied with his performance just now, he would never be so arrogant as to think that he was only one and a half years ago. An hour's worth of conversation can completely change the minds of Blanting and the Swedish government. Therefore, the most realistic and safest way is naturally to cultivate a strong pro-German faction in Sweden!

That's right, you read that right, a pro-German faction with strength, a pro-German faction who can have greater influence in Sweden, and has its own position on the political map! There are pro-German factions in Sweden, such as Gustav V. But it is a pity that the king has no rights and no strength. And not very popular with mainstream Swedish public opinion! So, this is embarrassing!

The so-called fundamental driving force that determines the development of things is internal factors, and external factors can only promote it. Therefore, if Germany wants Sweden to finally stand on its side, then the Swedish people must have a fundamental change in Germany! And Ruprecht must tell Gustav V how to do it in order for the Swedish government to accept the king and the people to love the king!

"By the way, Prince Albert is here too." Duke Albrecht said suddenly.

"Prince Albert?" The crown prince frowned. He felt that the Kaiser's third son had come out too often recently! As a result, the crown prince, who originally didn't want to get involved in the Prussian royal family's issues, had to consider the deep meaning of it.

"What's the opinion of the Grand Duke of Baden?" the crown prince asked. After all, this is in the manor of the Grand Duke of Baden. He is the owner. No matter how honorable Ruprecht is, he is just a guest! Moreover, the crown prince had previously cryptically asked the Grand Duke of Baden's attitude towards the future German royal family. However, the Grand Duke of Baden also implicitly expressed his opinion at that time. He believed that maintaining the status quo was a good idea!

However, judging from the current situation, the Grand Duke of Baden wants to maintain the status quo, but the Kaiser doesn't seem to want this! This is a little troublesome, but for today, the crown prince is very open-minded, the so-called guest does as he pleases. How to arrange Prince Albert is a matter for the Grand Duke of Baden, and has nothing to do with him!
