"You two are really rare guests, Grand Duke of Baden and Your Excellency Prince of Baden." Looking at the Grand Duke of Baden and his brother who came to visit him. Ruprecht said with emotion. You know, this is almost the first time the crown prince has received the two powers of the Grand Duchy of Baden in the Royal Palace in Munich in more than 40 years. Even during the inauguration of his father, Ludwig III, the Principality of Baden was just sending a representative.

Moreover, the crown prince was even more surprised that this time, the arrival of the Grand Duke and the prince did not come in a formal way. If it is an exchange between states, then it should also be a set of procedures, and Ludwig III. Let's talk about anything else after the interview in person. And this time, the two states communicated through some private channels, and then the Grand Duke of Baden and the future prime minister came over sneakily. This always gives people a taste of conspiracy! Shall we say that everything they discussed was on the stage? how can that be possible?

"In fact, the main purpose of this visit was because my brother had some trouble dealing with foreign affairs. In the field of foreign trade and finance, the French are still hesitating, while the Italians are watching. The Turks are currently in comparison with the Americans. Recently, in Kirkuk, the Americans and the Turkish government have signed some oilfield exploitation intentions. In Italy, the Americans are trying to enter the Italian energy and chemical markets. You should be clear about the specific news? And the Empire is in this regard. China’s response is relatively weak, because our economy is recovering. France and Italy are not small countries. Turkey is still our ally."

Although the Grand Duke Baden’s words were calm, he was still more anxious. After all, this was a test for his brother before he became prime minister. If he could not handle part of the diplomatic work he was in charge of, then even if there was a German emperor. Support, the upper position of the Prince of Baden may also be a problem, because the parliamentarians will never support it, and Ruprecht’s Bavarian support is also conditional, that is, you must be able to do things!

Although Ruprecht did not express any views on German government after returning to Bavaria, this does not mean that the crown prince does not care. It's just that the time has not come yet. Therefore, as the work became more and more difficult, Grand Duke Baden felt that he should fulfill his responsibility as the patriarch, bring his brother over to ask for advice, and then visit the dock or something. Before the war, the two states did not communicate with each other. Now the situation has changed. They are already a big brother. If they continue to be so cold, it is obviously not good for the Principality of Baden.

Of course, these reasons alone are definitely not enough for Grand Duke Baden to come over so sneakily. In fact, there are other reasons, and this reason is that he needs to talk to the crown prince alone later, and even for some things Grand Duke Baden has his own My brother didn't want to tell!

"It is difficult to do things now. It is politically inadvisable to oppress France and Italy easily. After all, we have been fighting for the French before, and we have indeed cooperated with the French in terms of energy. It is impossible for us to prohibit France and the United States from doing so. Financial connection, and you know that finance sometimes has a greater impact on national policy than trade. Italy is also like this. As for Turkey? Because we do not support Turkey’s aggression against Hanzhi and Nezhi regions, between the two sides There are already some contradictions. The saber of the German Empire is very sharp, but it cannot solve all problems." Prince Baden said.

In a word, the Americans did not forget to dig the corner of the Germans when they smashed the Pacific Ocean and the Japanese. The Americans tried their best to penetrate Europe and West Asia before Germany was restored. And this behavior naturally caused extreme dissatisfaction in Germany. Now the question is, how can the Germans fight back?

"So how does your prince prepare to respond?" the crown prince asked. What Ruprecht needs is a capable person, not a mediocre person, so the opinion of Prince Baden is very important!

"Our counterattack is mainly in industrial products and energy. Our products have certain technological advantages over Americans. However, the Americans have adopted the method of administrative subsidies, and the Americans also require that the French can only use US dollar loans. Buying American products. This makes our advantage become very small. Of course, we have also imposed restrictions on this aspect, but this kind of homogenized competition cannot make us win, and the Americans have sufficient funds. We can’t compare it. Americans are doing similar things in Italy.”

"However, on the Turkish issue, the Americans are even more radical. They have even intervened in Turkish politics. The scope of their cooperation with the Turkish government has been beyond the scope of economics and has begun to expand to military and even political and diplomatic aspects. The Americans have provided Turks with a lot of They are ready to support Turkey. Now Turkey is going further and further on the road of military adventure. It runs counter to the needs of the empire.” Prince Baden hesitated and continued. "In addition, there are actually a group of people in the empire who support Turkey's expansion."

"What are you kidding?! Haven't we discussed it before? The representatives of the four kingdoms and the Grand Duchy of Baden have reached an agreement on Turkey! I represent Bavaria, and the Duke of Albrecht represents Württemberg. Saxony The heir to Prussia and the prince of Prussia are here! And you, the future prime minister of the empire is also present, how can the tone that has been set have a problem?" Ruprecht is already a little angry~lightnovelpub.net~ However , His Royal Highness did not participate in this meeting. "Grand Duke Baden said with a sigh.

"Does the German Emperor have nothing to say?" Ruprecht frowned, and the crown prince could faintly feel that the current disagreements within Germany on the Turkish issue were also the result of the German Emperor's intention. It may be indulgence or the German Emperor. I don’t want the contradiction between the emperor and the prince to be highlighted. You must know that the prince has been the prince for 20 years, and his wife is also a grand duchy, and he has considerable influence within the empire, sometimes , Once some things make a big deal, it is very likely to be the result of losing both sides.

"His Majesty believes that it is very irrational to cause fluctuations in the political situation within the empire for the sake of Turkey." Grand Duke Baden said.

"So in that case, what is your purpose for you to tell me?" the crown prince sneered. "Maybe William II thought it would be better for me to deal with this matter, and then make me feel bad? It makes me very uncomfortable."
