After all, Gustav V came to Germany under the name of a private visit, so the reception in Germany should not be too formal. Therefore, Gustav V chose to stay at the manor of the Grand Duke of Baden in Berlin. . This time, Carl Yarma Branding was relieved that the Germans did not seem to intend to embarrass themselves as a government official. If the Grand Duke Baden insisted not to arrange a residence for him, then Branding would really Can only find a hotel! After all, Gustaf V visited relatives and friends, and the Grand Duke of Baden naturally has the right to reject certain people!

　　 After staying in Baden Manor for a few days, both the host and the guest did nothing to dissatisfy Branting, but to participate in various banquets, salons and hunting. Completely aristocratic entertainment, without discussing any sensitive political issues, which makes Branding very satisfied and enjoys it. Yes, you read that right. Although his political views are very close to the people, Karl Yarma . Branding is also a nobleman! These things are also very good for nobles.

　　 But the easy life these days does not let him relax his vigilance. Because this time the most critical figure in Germany has not yet come out! Everyone knows that the crown prince from Bavaria, the imperial marshal of the German Empire, and the regent of the Austro-Hungarian Empire are the most difficult to deal with in the list of people whom Gustav V saw! His martial arts and political skills have long been spread throughout Europe. Faced with such an opponent, Branding dare not careless!

However, the subsequent meeting surprised Branding. When Crown Prince Ruprecht and Grand Duke Baden met with the Swedish delegation, they chose the Grand Duke Baden instead of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs or some formal occasions. Private house. Moreover, the atmosphere of the whole meeting was very relaxed, without the seriousness of general political negotiations. A large number of nobles within the German Empire were invited. More like a salon. What is even more unexpected is that this time, after Prince Ruprecht met the Swedes, he first talked about himself not by Gustav V!

　　 "Mr. Branding seems very nervous." After a simple greeting, Ruprecht looked with interest at this man who had served as Swedish Prime Minister three times in history and won the Nobel Peace Prize. The crown prince knows very well that if you want to cooperate with Sweden in the future, you can bypass Gustav V, but you can never get around the person in front of you, this person must be won! Only in this way can a series of plans behind him unfold!

"This is the first time I have met with an imperial marshal of the German Empire. Before meeting, I thought that you have both the wisdom and political skills of Prime Minister Bismarck and the military talents of Marshal Maoqi. You should be The symbol of iron and blood in the new era of the German Empire, but now it seems that you are a little different. It's just a little curious." Karl Yalma Branding said carefully.

"Actually, I'm also a little curious." The crown prince looked at Branting and said: "It stands to reason that this time, His Majesty Gustav V came to Germany just to visit his relatives and friends. And you, as one A congressman also came here. I want to know, are you here to visit friends or provide services? Or have other purposes?"

　　 "This..." Branding was speechless, his identity was indeed a bit embarrassing. First, he was not a member of the Swedish royal family, and the so-called "relatives" was completely out of the question. Second, although he is a government official, he is only a member of the council, not a member of the administrative system. Therefore, the so-called service and staff have little to do with him! Obviously, everyone here knows that his purpose is to restrict Gustav V, but he will not say it directly. After all, Gustav V is the king of Sweden, a symbol of the country, and the king comes out. The government has to monitor the relatives, which is a bit embarrassing. Especially so far, Gustav V has not done anything beyond, that is to leave relatives...

　　 Branding certainly cannot blame Crown Prince Ruprecht for the same reason. The reason is simple. Crown Prince Ruprecht can participate in this salon as a friend of Grand Duke Baden. But can Branding say that he is a friend of Gustav V? It must be impossible!

　　 "It's really hot." Branding said anxiously. In his opinion, the crown prince has already taken action, and explained in a very tactful way that this is a noble party, private and non-public. Well, can you avoid it for a while as a superfluous person?

　　 Branding knows that if the Grand Duke of Baden and Prince Ruprecht let Branding leave on the grounds of private gatherings to decline outsiders, he really has no good excuses! Unless he intends to be stubborn, insisting that the government requires him to be "accompanied" by the king!

　　 And if he said something like this, he would not touch the other side's face and let Sweden plainly offend two high-ranking figures in Germany. Your political path may be coming to an end! Sweden does not like Germany very much, but Germany's strength requires Sweden to respect it! Especially in this situation, the German side has not made any political demands, and under the name of a private party~lightnovelpub.net~ So if Branding survives, once the relations between Germany and Sweden deteriorate, then He must be a backer....

"I understand the reason and purpose of Mr. Branding's presence here, but the face of His Highness Gustav must be taken care of, don't you?" The crown prince said leisurely. This is absolutely true. The Swedes can be in the country. If you scold your own king, the Swedish government can forcibly arrange a nail for Gustav, but in the eyes of outsiders, the king is Sweden's decent. This face must be taken care of. That's right!

"Do you think this will work? This time it is certainly not easy for the Grand Duke of Baden to invite so many German nobles from his busy schedule. Let His Majesty Gustav V spend a pleasant evening, OK? How about having a chat with you?" said the crown prince.

"Well, your choice really surprised me." Branding wiped a cold sweat and said, he really couldn't understand it. Seeing that the crown prince can already exclude himself from this meeting. , Why did you choose to go out with yourself? This shouldn't be! Of course, although unexpected, since the crown prince is willing to talk to himself, let's talk about it! Anyway, I am a member! No decision can be made!

　　 "Okay, in that case, it is better to be respectful than fate." Branding said immediately.
