"Your Excellency seems to have intentionally hidden a lot of things." Ruprecht frowned. He could feel that the two of them had just talked for a long time, and the Grand Duke Baden still had many problems. The Crown Prince's previous plan on the Turkey issue and the barbaric behavior on the newly added territory seemed to be just the tip of the iceberg of these things recently? "If you think you really need to come to me to solve the problem, then we should be more honest with each other, and you obviously have some concerns."

Ruprecht still clearly felt Prince Baden's hesitation on some issues. Although Prince Baden's attitude of being the crown prince was very dissatisfied with the issue of new territory, this kind of thing is not big or small, and for ordinary people, it is not a big deal to consider the prince's anger. However, it is no big deal for Prince Baden at the level of Prince Baden, and Prince Baden has no need to make such a secret. Therefore, the crown prince believes that Prince Baden must have received some other internal information.

"His Royal Highness is developing some small groups, which have begun to penetrate the Prussian Kingdom, involving various departments of military, economic and cultural. In terms of nature, it has similar effects as the original Navy Association, but it is more radical and aggressive. They safeguard the interests of the nobles and some capitalists, and at the same time advocate the guarantee of the ruling of Protestantism within the empire." Prince Baden said.

"And His Highness the Crown Prince has also established a new political party, one principle covering the former Prussian political parties. This is a pure interest group, so they can accept everyone, including the former Social Democratic right-wing personnel. If such a group of people are mixed together, they must have a common goal to unite them." Prince Baden hesitated for a moment, and did not dare to say the rest.

"This goal is probably aimed at us, right?" Ruprecht sighed leisurely. Bavaria has never been a popular existence among the Prussian high-level leaders, especially this plane. Because it is very simple, the rise of Bavaria will definitely divide a part of the cake that originally belonged to Prussian aristocrats and capitalists. The division of Prussia will also make a group of originally neutral Junker aristocrats dissatisfied with Bavaria. Although the crown prince is innocent on the surface, sometimes people's feelings are so unreasonable.

In the final analysis, it is still a matter of interest. However, because of the pressure of foreign war, this internal conflict was suppressed by the German Emperor and the Crown Prince. Now, when this pressure is gone, the external struggle will end, and internal struggle will definitely arise. This is a natural thing, not only Germany, but other countries are the same. The Americans will also fight a civil war after fighting the British. Look at the previous history of Europe, which powerful country has not fought a civil war or has large-scale political turmoil?

What Prime Minister Bismarck said is very correct, and it is even so until now, that is, the Germans lack the concept of a country! In history, the Weimar Republic eliminated the barriers between states to a certain extent. But what about now? Because Germany won and the state system is still there, this barrier still exists. To a certain extent, this is also one of the few negative effects left to Germany by the crown prince after winning the First World War!

To be honest, the crown prince is somewhat capable of thinking about this. It does not mean that the crown prince believes that he can unite a group of people to get Bavaria in order to solve Bavaria before the war begins. If the German emperor has the ability to put Bavaria out after paying some price, then now, even if the German emperor and the crown prince have the same idea, they are not able to implement it.

But no matter what, the Crown Prince's slogan of fighting against Bavaria and ensuring the interests of North German Protestants can indeed win over a considerable number of people! A considerable number of German nobles, capitalists and financiers who conflict with Bavaria, and even some major forces in the Prussian Federation that originally supported the Social Democratic Party may join this alliance. Even some civilians whose living standards have declined due to the addition of cheap labor on new territory may join this group.

In the future, the population of the German Empire will be conservatively hundreds of millions! No matter how good the crown prince does, to be honest, it is not difficult to find 20 million people dissatisfied with Bavaria in this country! Do the Germans don’t like to form associations? Obviously not! Think about the Navy Association with millions of members in history and the World War Veterans Association with huge influence. There is no doubt that the prince’s flag caters to the needs and ideas of a considerable number of people. Economically, they need to compete with Bavaria, politically, they need to find an enemy to divert dissatisfaction from the state, and in interests, they can use this as a banner to join!

As for William's attitude in this matter, it's intriguing. If there is no grudge between the German Emperor and Bavaria, it is obviously impossible, and there is indeed a competitive relationship between the two sides. However, compared with the crown prince who directly set up a political group with this purpose, the German Emperor's methods may be much more moderate. As for whether the German Emperor supports the behavior of the crown prince? The crown prince believes that in the current situation, the German Emperor is mostly acquiescent or neutral!

In addition to the competitive relationship between each other, the German Emperor believes that this is also one of the ways to strengthen the imperial power. First of all, according to the crown prince's understanding, although the German Emperor has frequently improved the status of Prince Albert in recent times, at least now, the German Emperor has no idea of ​​deposing the prince. The prince and Prince Albert are actually in a competitive relationship! The power in the hands of the prince is also equal to the German Emperor! Therefore, for this way of intensifying contradictions and going astrays, the German Emperor may have realized some of the problems, but at present, the German Emperor may still believe that the benefits outweigh the disadvantages.

Well, now the question is, why did Prince Baden, who is a hardcore in the German Emperor, specifically talk about these things? On the one hand, it is naturally because Prince Baden is very dissatisfied with the prince's behavior in the new territory. On the other hand, although Grand Duke Baden is the German Emperor's iron, and the personal relationship between the German Emperor and Prince Baden is also very close, there is one thing that Grand Duke Baden believes that the prince's behavior of engaging in religious opposition has brought great instability to Grand Duke Baden! Because it is dominant from the North German Protestants and the dominant from the Catholics, Bavaria is almost evenly matched by Protestants in Baden!
