The Rise of the Empire

Chapter 1832: Fudge

There is a very big difference between General Hausen and other generals, that is, other generals in the group army can be regarded as relatively pure Junker military nobles. There is an inseparable relationship between their family and the army, but apart from the army, they are Other aspects of influence are less, but Admiral Howson is different. His family is a comprehensive family that also covers the military, industry, and agriculture. Therefore, Admiral Howson thinks more than his colleagues when he considers issues. If Albrecht, Grand Duke of Württemberg, besides military affairs, his deputy occupation is politics. Then Admiral Howson's deputy job is a bit too much!

Among the four people, the Grand Duke of Württemberg must be inclined to Bavaria. Everyone knows this. After all, let’s not talk about the friendship between Bavaria and Württemberg before the establishment of the German Empire. (Back then, Bavaria was the handle of South Germany. Son, since the time of the Holy Roman Empire, it has repeatedly helped the small countries around it resist pressure from Austria or Prussia.) Not to mention that Bavaria and Württemberg gave the Kaiser awkwardness when the empire was founded. Just before, Bavaria sent troops to help Württemberg quell the domestic Catholic Central Party riots, and the Grand Duke of Württemberg will definitely stand on the side of Bavaria.

In the army, this grand duke does represent the interests of other southern German states except Bavaria. You must know that in addition to Prussia and Bavaria, the other southern German states also conscript a large number of troops, and they are similar to Prussia. It's not a single route, so who is the leader of these troops? Naturally it is the grand prince. Therefore, with this level of identity, even if other Prussian generals do not like this great prince, they must be allowed to participate when making decisions. After all, the status is there. The same reason, even if General Heilingen, General Pinol and others I don't like Bavaria, but if everyone fights together on the Western Front in the future, the supreme commander can be Ruprecht, and no one else! The record and strength are the footnotes of these people!

   In order to win the support of the senior German military, Bavaria has worked hard. There is not a large number of Bavarian ground troops on the Western Front, so not having a reliable representative is a serious problem. Just a Duke of Württemberg is obviously a little weak. Don't say that people like Heilingen are wooed, it's good if they don't cause you trouble, so don't consider these. Pure military aristocrats like Crook seem to be a good choice. They are deeply rooted in the army and have a huge influence. They can manage the army for a long time on the front line.

   However, there is a problem here is that these people are not easy to persuade, they are pure Junker military nobles, these people are not close to Bavaria because of religious and historical traditions. This has caused the two sides to feel grievances. If you are not careful, it may be counterproductive. Therefore, Crown Prince Ruprecht said in the order to Lieutenant General Hall, as long as you keep waiting with Crook It's good for people to maintain general relationships, talk more about military affairs, and less about politics and other things.

   However, among the four, there is a Grand Duke who is close to Bavaria and a general who hates Bavaria. Crook is neutral again, which makes Lieutenant General Hall feel very unstable... So, in the end, while maintaining a good relationship with the Grand Duke, Lieutenant General Hall found Admiral House again. His family has a certain economic relationship with Bavaria, and may not be friends, but they will not easily become enemies. .

   Actually, the effect of Lieutenant General Hall's communication was pretty good. In the meeting just now, Admiral House was on the side of the Grand Duke, and then he persuaded the real boss, General Crook. In this way, no matter how dissatisfied Pinov is, there will be no big waves. However, what makes Lieutenant General Hall unexpected is that the friendship of General House is not easy to obtain. Now, General Housen wants to discuss with Lieutenant General Hall the ins and outs of this series of things.

Admiral House did not know when Crown Prince Ruprecht decided to support his wife on the throne of the Austrian Emperor, but he knew that this kind of thing would never happen overnight, and doing so would undoubtedly anger the Kaiser. This time, if the Social Democratic Party doesn’t do anything, the blood-filled Kaiser will definitely interfere in this matter. Admiral House wanted to know what kind of benefits or threats could force Crown Prince Ruprecht to take risks? And now, Admiral Howson wants to ask Lieutenant General Hall to understand, because he knows that as the chief of staff of Crown Prince Ruprecht, Lieutenant General Hall will definitely know some inside information.

"This is not just a question of economic cooperation. To be honest, in my opinion, Crown Prince Ruprecht is playing with fire. If you are not careful, you will be dead. Of course, I have to say that this time, His Royal Highness is as usual. He is tough and kept his unbeaten record. He won. Now Prussia first became a mess of porridge. This is really an ironic thing," Admiral Howson said with a sigh~lightnovelpub.net ~ Now, I just want to know when His Royal Highness decided to participate in the affairs of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. I also want to know, what is his starting point? I don’t think the purely economic issue is enough to make His Royal Highness take such a big risk. "

   "Is this question important now?" Lieutenant General Hall said embarrassedly.

   "Of course it is very important. Your answer determines my attitude question in the next meeting." Admiral Howson put on an attitude of breaking the casserole and asking the end!

   "If I say that all these changes are caused by the anxiety in the heart of the Crown Prince, do you believe it?" Lieutenant General Hall asked.

   "Please continue," Admiral Howson said. An attitude of please start your performance.

"The rise of Bavaria can actually be counted from the earliest hardened armor and rapid-fire guns. It was the first time Bavaria stood at the commanding heights of industry and technology. It was also when the Crown Prince and His Majesty the Kaiser began to communicate. At that time, I think His Royal Highness Prince Ruprecht just wants to make money. To make his kingdom richer." Lieutenant General Hall began to talk.

"But then, in his contact with His Majesty the Kaiser, His Royal Highness discovered that Wilhelm II was a very ambitious man. He tried to break the old international order. He was no longer satisfied with the balanced diplomacy established by Prime Minister Bismarck in the past. Your Majesty wanted to establish an alliance against the overlords of the old age. So, soon after, the German Navy began to expand. This is a very unfriendly signal to the British." Lieutenant General Hall said.
