"His Majesty, the messenger of His Majesty the Emperor just sent an invitation. Later today, His Majesty the Emperor will invite Grand Duke Albrecht and Marshal Makenson at Wuyou Palace. I hope you can be on time." As soon as you got in the car, Grand Duke Baden said in Grand Duke's ear.

"Okay, let's go to Wuyou Palace now." Grand Duke Baden looked at his watch. Today's talks were not going well. It was a bit late, so when I returned to his official residence and went to Wuyou Palace, it was obviously not enough time. Therefore, Grand Duke decided to rush to Wuyou Palace directly. Anyway, there would definitely be preparations for the Emperor De!

"It's so tiring. I just finished a battle on one battlefield, and now I'm going to another battlefield." Grand Duke Baden sighed and said.

Do you think about whether the German Emperor faction considered that Ruprecht might use the veto power? You must have thought of it! After all, according to the crown prince's usual style before, the crown prince would be very determined in such issues that concern important interests. Since he thought of this, he would definitely make relevant preparations. This time, the banquet in Wuyou Palace is one of the relevant steps!

The German Emperor knew very well that you could never use strength when facing Ruprecht. Bavaria was not afraid at that time, let alone Bavaria, which is now backed by the Austro-Hungarian Empire and has a strength that is not weaker than France in the future? Therefore, the strategy of the German Emperor and the Grand Duke of Baden is a curve strategy, hoping to persuade the Crown Prince to make concessions through the Kingdom of Württemberg and some people who have close ties with the Crown Prince. Of course, this is a process of mutual concession. Bavaria took a step back, and the German Emperor also took a step back, and even distributed the parliamentary share to Bavaria and Austro-Hungarian when necessary...

That's right, you read it right! Hasai wants to plot against the German Emperor, and the German Emperor always wants to plot against the parliamentary faction. In the German Emperor's view, if the German Emperor Prussia and Bavaria can reach an agreement that both sides can accept, the parliamentary faction can naturally throw it aside! This is politics! Before the result comes out, no one knows who is the enemy and who is the friend!

Let’s take a look at the distinguished guests invited tonight, Duke Albrecht, the Grand Duke of Württemberg, who has been serving as the commander of the army on the Western Front, and his record is remarkable. He has a high prestige on the Western Front. Now in Berlin, it represents the Kingdom of Württemberg. As an important mountain in the empire, he must listen to his words, whether it is the German Emperor or Bavaria, and he must also give some face when necessary.

The other distinguished guest was naturally Marshal Markensen. Not to mention that this marshal was one of the few military leaders who stood firmly on the German side during the civil strife in Germany. With the fact that he had been commanding the entire non-Bavarian system of German troops on the Eastern Front, Markensen should have won the rank of Marshal. To be honest, Markensen fought well. Currently, the North German states have Markensen's footprints on the territory of the Eastern Front. In terms of prestige, Markensen is higher than the young Moltke. After all, they have always been the commander of the army group level on the Eastern Front, and Moltke was once ordered to retire by the German Emperor!

These two people are important people in the empire. Let’s not talk about the Duke of Albrecht. Markens may directly enter the Imperial General Staff to serve as chief of staff in the future. This is the result of multi-party coordination. Markensen supported the German Emperor at the time, so the German Emperor's faction naturally hoped that Markensen would become the chief of staff of the Imperial General Staff. Markensen had a good relationship with Crown Prince Ruprecht on the Eastern Front, so the Bavarian side did not object. Instead, there was tendency to support. The parliamentary faction could not come up with a suitable candidate, and the opposition was invalid. So if nothing unexpected happened, then there was a high probability that Markensen would take office!

This time, the idea of ​​the German Emperor and the Grand Duke of Baden was to let Grand Duke Albrecht and Markens come forward and persuade Ruprecht to make some concessions. After all, one represents the kingdom and the imperial general staff that represents the future. Even if Ruprecht is unwilling, you should make some good moves, right? The German Emperor was unable to do whatever he wanted, let alone Ruprecht now? Of course, this time, Moltke must be with him.

As for the result of this banquet? Grand Duke Baden also had a prediction. Perhaps the German Emperor could not completely convince Grand Duke Albrecht. It was not a big problem to convince Markensen? After all, the latter was a hard-core German Emperor faction. He was also the force sent by the German Emperor. Grand Duke Baden could not even think of a reason for Markensen to refuse! And if Markensen voted, then Albrecht would not even say soft words, right? So, Grand Duke Baden was very confident in the banquet tonight!

The banquet was scheduled at 7 pm, and Grand Duke Baden arrived at Wuyou Palace at 4:30 pm and explained the results of today's negotiations with the German Emperor. Moltke was responsible for visiting Markenson in advance and greeting his former colleague. As for Duke Albrecht, there is no need to inform him. They are similar to Ruprecht, and they have two identities, soldiers and politicians! How could he not know the purpose of the German Emperor invited him at this time? But at this time, the Duke agreed to attend the banquet, which was also good news for the German Emperor? After all, this means that the Kingdom of Württemberg is willing to contact him.

The banquet began as expected. This time the German Emperor would not be as fanfare as before. After all, this time it was not aristocratic communication, but important matters to be discussed. The German Emperor did not want to make this matter full of storms. Therefore, there were only five main people attending the banquet, the German Emperor, the Grand Duke of Baden, the Little Moltke, the Duke of Albrecht and Markensen. When the real talk was made, even the servants were saved!

"Your Excellency, go and welcome Xiao Maoqi. I'll prepare first." Emperor De ordered.

"Okay." Grand Duke Baden nodded and walked out. He was not disgusted with this order. After all, the status of Little Moltke is also respectful. Moreover, when welcoming Little Moltke, Grand Duke Baden still needs to communicate information with the other party.

"What's going on? Isn't it going well?" Looking at the little Moltke with a gloomy face, Grand Duke Baden couldn't help frowning. He now doubted whether it was not suitable for negotiating today. The negotiations on Ruprecht broke down. Will there be problems with the German Emperor? Shouldn't it be?

"Marcedes Marshal Markens's attitude is very subtle. I did not directly talk about the issue of interest distribution. I just talked to him about some battles on the Eastern Front and his attitude towards the Austro-Hungarian Legion. The latter seemed a little unhappy." Xiao Mokchi thought for a while and said. Xiao Mokchi adhered to the principle of his uncle, the old Mokchi, and soldiers should stay away from politics. In addition, Xiao Mokchi had been smooth sailing before, so his political acumen was a little lower, so he could not see Makchenson's attitude.
