The Rise of the Empire

Chapter 1365: The Kaiser's first response

Slide 1365

"We will get more. If all goes well, the Kingdom of Prussia will become a country of more than 700,000 square kilometers (the original area of ​​Prussia is more than 370,000). Even if Bohemia and Moravia are included in Bavaria And the new territory, which is 300,000. The area of ​​the entire German Empire will increase to about 1.2 million square kilometers. Although, in terms of land area, the two sides still maintain a fragile balance." As Emperor, Wilhelm II Naturally, the benefits of all parties in this war will be clearly calculated.

Before the war, Bavaria occupies more than one-seventh of the total area of ​​German territory. After the war, the total area of ​​Germany is estimated to more than double! Among them, Prussia will get the territory of Russian Poland and the Baltic Sea, plus part of the territory of Belarus. In this way, the area of ​​Prussia can double! What about Bavaria? If the territories belonging to the Austro-Hungarian Empire such as Bohemia and Moravia are removed, although the area can be doubled, it is because Bavaria was small before! Excluding the territory of Austria-Hungary, the expanded land area of ​​Bavaria is more than 200,000, which is about one-sixth of the entire empire. In terms of national territory, it can barely maintain Prussia's absolute advantage.

Of course, if you include Bohemia and Moravia, the power ratio will develop in a direction not conducive to Prussia. After all, the industrial capacity and economy of these two places are also very strong. If not, the ratio of territories between Bavaria and Prussia is about 1 to 3. In the end, it is about 1 to 2........

Both the German emperor and the crown prince understood that after the war, the strength of the boss and the second child must be closer. This cannot be stopped. Because Bavaria is a bit strong, you can't adopt a tough policy! No matter how tough it is to fight, the key is, can you fight? How can you make the other party succumb when the knife can't solve the problem?

But the difference between the two is that the two have different tolerances and methods of handling after the rise of Bavaria. The Kaiser believed that 700,000 square kilometers in Prussia and more than 200,000 or 300,000 in Bavaria are tolerable. The crown prince thought this power balance was very disturbing.

Regarding the issue of disposal, the prince who is far from mature believes that simple and rude weakening or containment can make the Kingdom of Bavaria surrender, especially when the benefits are distributed, the prince believes that Prussia should be before the dust settles. You should slash your opponent fiercely, at least you can't get much territory, and it's not good!

But what about the Kaiser? how to say? He also plans to do some tricks when distributing benefits. But just think about it when you drink too much. Because this thing is not operable! First, you have to be sure that Ruprecht is definitely not a fool! People have been wary of Prussian crossing the river to demolish the bridge!

And in the foreseeable future, Ruprecht will do all these things! Remember the previous agreement? After the Polish Pocket Campaign, the Mackensen Army advanced north along the Baltic Sea. The Bavarian Army and the Austro-Hungarian Army advanced in the direction of Ukraine. If at the end of the Eastern Front, the Prussian government does not confirm Bavaria’s interests in public and by law, then the prince only needs to hand over all the territory he controls to the Austro-Hungarian Empire. In this case, Prussia and the Austro-Hungarian Empire are at a disadvantage in the distribution of benefits... After all, it is occupied by others, so why do you let others vomit? !

On the other hand, as long as the Bavarian Legion insisted that the war in the Balkans or Transcaucasus did not end, it would hold on to its strength. Then the Western Front can only be held by Prussia, and the defense is no problem, but even if the offensive is allowed, the Western Front fighters cannot end, which is a serious loss to Prussia itself! At this time, Prussia must also make concessions on the issue of new territories. As for you to talk about it after the fight? Do you think Ruprecht will talk about it after the fight? Treat others as fools? !

Then the two sides will fall into endless tears! In theory, the General Staff has absolute command power, but what about the Prussian General Staff with regard to the setting that is too big to lose and the kingdom's army belongs to the king? !

Therefore, considering this level, William II will never do too obvious on the issue of territorial division. The other party can afford it, and there are ways to greatly shrink what you get. So why did the Kaiser do such a thankless thing?

After figuring this out, the Kaiser placed restrictions on Bavaria after the war and extended the time. Perhaps in the end, when the dust settles, it will be for the next generation. No way, this generation of Ruprecht is too powerful! William himself admits that he is absolutely inferior to Ruprecht in terms of ability! This guy is better able to lead a country to the top!

As for why Prussia wins in the long-term battle? Naturally, it is based on Prussia's vast territory, dominant political advantage, and a more efficient and comprehensive industrial system and a reformed country than Bavaria! That's right, the Kaiser decided to reform Prussia, so that the power of the Prussian king was more concentrated and as efficient as Bavaria. In this case, with similar systems, Prussia, which has better physique and hardware, can stabilize its opponents!

"Child~lightnovelpub.net~ This is a cruel world, so we have to adapt to this world and use violence and wisdom to overwhelm our opponents, but at the same time, we also need allies. Sometimes the boundaries between enemies and allies are not so Obviously, at this time, you must know what the main contradiction is at this stage. What are the forces that can be united. When you have more friends than enemies, then you will win. It is conceivable that this time In war, if the Americans did not help us, we would be very difficult. They seem to be our friends, but in fact, they are also our enemies. They absolutely do not want to see Britain and France be brought to the ground by us!" William II Shi patted the latter on the shoulder and said.

"Father, Your Majesty Fritz has never chosen an heir. Will there be any tricks in this?" At this moment, the prince suddenly said.

"I feel that His Majesty Fritz should not have a suitable candidate. The people who are willing to inherit the throne in terms of blood are very good, and they are too young. They have no qualifications and lack of ability. Fritz is still in good health. Yes, he said that he has no plan to have an heir in a short time." The Kaiser frowned when he said here.
