The Rise of the Empire

In the end the crown prince agreed to Lieutenant General Estrov’s request despite the persuasion of Count Malwitz. He would personally participate in this matter. The crown prince did not have much confidence in himself. He just knew that under the current mess , If you want to get out of trouble and get to the next level in a short period of time, then you must try it! He needs to use a tangible thing to prove his strength and ability. He needs the interests of the Middle East to enrich his team and ease the internal conflicts. Prince William has no choice. Even in the next week, Mal Earl Witz tried to persuade the prince to abandon this plan again and again, but he still did not change, and in the end, the loyal old earl could only help the prince to realize this plan, a plan he was not optimistic about!

At this time, in Sanssouci Palace, William II was also waiting for the arrival of his eldest son, and next to him was the current Prime Minister of the Empire, Prince Baden. In the letter from the crown prince to the emperor, the crown prince had informed the emperor of his general thoughts, and although the emperor agreed with the imperial prince’s audience in the letter, he did not express his views, which made the prince somewhat uneasy. Before the arrival of the crown prince, the Kaiser wanted to discuss this matter with his relatives and the current Prime Minister of the Empire, Prince Baden.

"The little lion of Hohenzollern is already a little unbearable and wants to challenge the lion king of Bavaria." The Kaiser's voice echoed in the empty room. "What do you think of this matter? My Prime Minister."

"It's nothing, it's just benefits. There are not many hostile elements in it." The prince thought for a while and said.

"What does your brother mean?" the Kaiser asked.

"My brother said that although Bavaria verbally stated that they were unwilling to take this matter by themselves, in fact they were still making preparations. They wanted the center to make concessions." The Prince said.

"That's it. But if we do, then we will have to pay the corresponding price and military strength." The Kaiser's words were so erratic that people could not understand the meaning.

"Now the problem is very clear. If both parties do not regress, then our plan to use central finances to make up for military expenditure will not be passed. We can let Bavaria's application be stranded in Parliament, and they will also let our plan in Parliament. It’s great, now who is leading who pays and who sends troops! Then I want to ask your Majesty, are you ready for this matter?” Prince Baden said.

"The crown prince said that he hopes to pull the federal Prussia on this matter. In this case, the cost we have paid will be shared, and this will also end Bavaria’s special status in imperial politics. We are very uncomfortable," the Kaiser said.

"So, you and the Social Democratic Party discussed this matter?" the Prince asked.

"I think it is time to re-show the ability and authority of the Hohenzollern family. With Kemal's exit, the Bavarian strategy against Turkey has actually failed. What they did has become useless. This time Isn’t it a normal thing for us to replace it? Of course, we are still a little weak, and this kind of profitable thing will not be rejected compared to the Prussian Federation. After all, as long as we succeed, then regardless of whether the Federal Prussia or the Prussian Kingdom’s oil The problem of self-sufficiency can be solved."

"I am sincere and sincere this time, and will not change my mind because of external pressure. I hope that the Social Democrats will realize this." The Kaiser finally said. When the foreign enemy has disappeared, internal fighting is the normal state. Although the struggle will be limited to a certain range, it is clear that the Kaiser is unwilling to give up this opportunity. Some things the Kaiser has done recently have made the Kaiser feel dissatisfied. But his daring to take the opportunity to challenge to change the disadvantaged position of the Kingdom of Prussia is still worth encouraging.

Relatively speaking, in the opinion of the Kaiser, Prince Albert did a little worse. Originally, the Kaiser wanted Prince Albert to come back from the Baltic Governorate to discuss this matter, but after the result, the latter was not sensitive to the Kaiser’s call, or deliberately avoided this matter, and suggested three The states delineated each other's interests and handed over to Bavaria to deal with the matter. The prince’s behavior made the Kaiser feel a little dissatisfied. Things are always going to be done. If everything is to be led by the South, will the future capital of the German Empire be in Berlin or Munich?

"This matter is actually very complicated. It is not only a military issue, but also a political issue. Now, we cannot solve the military issue alone. We conservatively estimate that if we choose to help Sudan, then we need at least 20 Ten thousand troops are deployed in Turkey. Who will do this? How will the cost of war be shared? We also lack an effective forward base. The Mediterranean and the Black Sea are the chassis of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. From this point of view, we cannot avoid Bavaria and The Austro-Hungarian Empire." Prince Baden said.

"Your Majesty, our interests in this matter are not as great as some people think. First of all, even if Turkey is replaced by a government that we support, then the agreement signed with Bavaria will still be fulfilled. In other words, currently Kiel The oil fields of Cook and Mosul are still in the hands of Bavaria. In addition, we not only have to support military expenditures, but also the reconstruction costs of Turkey. This will be a very large number. Even with central financial support, it is not optimistic. As for the profit and the sharing of other benefits, this will be a relatively distant thing ~www.NovelMTL.com~Don't think about it within a year." Seeing the Kaiser did not speak, Prince Baden added.

In the long run, if the Kaiser can take advantage of this opportunity to hold both Turkey and Persia in his hands and make them the dumping ground and oil producing area of ​​the Kingdom of Prussia, then the profits will definitely be great, but the problem is that in the early stage It must have lost money. This is a great pressure for the kingdom's not particularly good finances. The Prince of Baden will eventually become the Grand Duke of Baden. He does not want to be unhappy with the Bavarian side because of this when he is prime minister. He did not have the dominance of the Kaiser's internal affairs of the German Empire. In short, there are many reasons why Prince Baden is not optimistic about this matter.

"If there are some difficulties, the Grand Duchy of Baden can not participate this time." After a while, the Kaiser said.

"That's not what I meant." Prince Baden said embarrassingly.

"It's just a performance by the younger generation, and it's not a big deal. We understand the situation of the Grand Duchy of Baden well." said the Kaiser.
