The Rise of the Empire

Chapter 655: After all, what should come will come!

"I really didn't expect that Fritz and Wilhelm II would question Bavaria at the same time. This is a provocation to the kingdom! Especially Fritz, we kindly remind him and help him, but it is their doubts that we get." Ludwig III said annoyedly to his eldest son and younger brother.

"Unexpectedly, it is reasonable to say that our resources and power have exceeded the scope of a state. In terms of army and military expenditure, we account for a quarter of the entire German army. We also control the construction plan of an Austro-Hungarian army. , It's normal for them to have ideas," Prince Leopold said.

"Is it worth it? Ruprecht? What we did is met with suspicion from all sides. Wouldn't it be better if we only do our own business and ignore the nosy?" Ludwig The third generation turned his head to look at his eldest son. He is now less and less able to understand his son. Generally speaking, he has no ambitions, but his son seems to think otherwise.

"Bigger rights mean greater responsibilities. I think that's good. Father, don't you think that if the German Empire expands again, Bavaria is a bit too small? Our land area now accounts for seven percent of the empire. One, but if the empire doubles, will we become one-fourteenth?" The prince said with a smile.

   "You think too much." Ludwig III said. This is the first time the prince has made it clear that he wants Bavaria to have a share of this expansion.

"We have no choice. We must guarantee our own weight in order to maintain the independence of the status quo in the future, and this battle is an opportunity! We must tell Wilhelm II and the old Fritz that the Bavarian Army is an indispensable Their interests should be respected!" The prince said calmly.

"I also agree with Ruprecht's opinion that Bavaria should play a more important role in the future, not just a follower. We have been preparing for more than ten years. Isn't it just for today? Let them face us. Power." Prince Leopold said.

  "Since you all agree, then I have nothing to say, I will write a reply to William, but the rest is up to you." Ludwig III said. Afterwards, the Bavarian king was ready to go back and write a strongly worded reply.

"Undercurrents are surging, Ruprecht." Prince Leopold also said with some worry when there were only two people left in the house. It is reasonable for the Kaiser and Austria to make such an opinion. After all, Bavarian There is a lot of investment. If he hadn't seen what his nephew had done before, he would not support it. Now, if you make a slight mistake, it will lead to unpredictable consequences. After all, no one wants to count. Tens of millions of Marks have been beaten in this way.

   "The problem is not winning or losing, but how much we can win." The prince had a calm expression. "This time, I will do it myself!"

   "Are you too confident?" The prince squinted Ruprecht, and said slightly dissatisfied.

   "The facts will prove everything." Ruprecht still didn't care much.

Things continued to develop. First of all, King Ludwig III of Bavaria sent a written reply to the Kaiser, expressing dissatisfaction with his sudden arrangement, expressing dissatisfaction with Prussia’s suspicion of Bavaria, and said: "The Kingdom of Bavaria did not have this year. Arrange corresponding plans, and if the Prussian General Staff insists on doing so, then it must be responsible for all the consequences and costs borne by it."

  The content of Prince Ruprecht’s letter to the Kaiser is simpler, that is, if it wins this time, what benefits can the Kaiser give to Bavaria?

"Then it depends on your record." The Kaiser threw aside the prince's reply, and then said to Xiao Maoqi: "Bavaria has agreed. You and your delegation can go to Munich to discuss this at any time. I repeat. I don't want to lose this time, you must deal with it well!" As soon as he thought that he was about to witness a top-notch, unplanned battle exercise, the German emperor's combative nature was aroused.

   "Yes, your Majesty, we will arrange a complete plan to prove the strength of the German Legion with facts. The German Empire is Yongchang." Xiao Moqi replied.

   "Very good, it's interesting to do this. What's the point of a country's military self-directed and self-performed? What is the role?" The Kaiser nodded in satisfaction. "You know? I have been watching the same content for ten years. Now it is nothing more than more trucks and heavier artillery. There is nothing new. Whoever wins this time will receive a great reward. Don't let me down. "

   "Yes, one more thing, Emperor Fritz is also back, and Grand Duke Ferdinand also hopes to participate in this exercise. Of course, you are the main one, but you must also take care of the Duke's face." The Emperor said.

"This situation is a bit complicated. This is the first large-scale exercise between us and the Bavarian Army. Both sides need to negotiate their troop strength and configuration ~ lightnovelpub.net~ It is not advisable to strengthen too much. The other party can object." Xiao Maoqi now understands the meaning of the Kaiser. It is one aspect to check the combat effectiveness of the Bavarian Legion, and there is also a little bit to let the opponent recognize the situation. The Kaiser hopes to win.

"Relax, this will not be a problem, because Ruprecht also treats us as a whetstone. He will never be afraid of challenges! He will not avoid all kinds of problems. You know? You met this time. The one on board is a samurai who wants to challenge his limit, so he will not object to our overweight." The Kaiser said.

   "Think of us as a whetstone? Is this prince a little naive?" After hearing this, Xiao Maoqi was taken aback, and then a little annoyed. "I really thought that after spending some money, I can be called a strong army with some new toys? The German Legion was made!" This time, Xiao Maoqi automatically ignored the last war for decades. Up.

   "Very well, I look forward to news of the victory of the Prussian Army." The Kaiser said.

  After leaving the palace, Xiao Maoqi immediately plunged back into the General Staff Headquarters and began to consider how to fight the German troops. Although Xiao Maoqi expressed his contempt for his opponents strategically, he still needs attention in tactics. After all, those iron bumps look really good. This poses a huge threat to the current German firepower configuration. The front of the Hu Feng-style assault gun is almost immune to more than 90% of the current German firepower.
