2805 Ambition 1

Although Bavaria still has the name of a kingdom, its overall strength is no less than that of France! In addition, the special relationship between Bavaria and the Austro-Hungarian Empire, whether it is to use the road to pass or use its own strength, these are not problems. To put it bluntly, Bavaria can do it by itself, or do it in the name of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. In the view of the Crown Prince, it is completely unnecessary to put this matter in the Imperial General Staff.

"Because within the empire, including His Majesty the German Emperor, is unwilling to burn Bavaria to do this, you know, among Turkey's German investment, Bavaria has the largest proportion, Turkey has rich mineral resources. If Bavaria acts alone and supports Kemal to take office this time, then Bavaria's power in Turkey will be stronger in the future, and it is difficult for us to get involved. Therefore, under the pressure of the German Emperor and the parliamentary faction, Crown Prince Ruprecht did not take action immediately, maybe it was to ease relations between the parties." Lieutenant General Estrov said.

"So is there a final result?" asked Prince William.

"Well, there is a result that is not a result. Bavaria promises not to directly interfere directly for the time being, while the imperial government and the General Staff promise not to support other spokespersons." Lieutenant General Estrov said with some embarrassment. For him, who was born in the military, this result is really painful! The whole thing has almost not been advanced, and time sometimes does not wait for anyone!

"Haha, it's interesting." The crown prince smiled. He was thinking about how much benefits he and his Black Winged Knights could get from this game.

"In short, there can be divided into two factions now. One of them is mainly Bavaria. They support Kemal to obtain the Turkish regime and expressed that they can guarantee Turkey's loyalty to the Allies, while the other factions are mainly His Majesty the Emperor and some members of the Imperial Parliament. They mean to choose a person who is easy to control and even retain the Sultan. Because in Berlin's view, an obedient and able to provide resources is enough, and there is no need to make it too strong." Lieutenant General Estrov said.

"Then Earl Marwitz, from the perspective of power operation, what conditions do one of them need to win?" asked the crown prince.

"First of all, if you want to interfere in the name of the empire, then this proposal must pass the review of the Imperial Parliament and the House of Nobles. Relatively speaking, the House of Nobles is relatively easy to pass, because most of them are very pure, they are all soldiers, and they do not have much demands in politics, and their attitude is neutral."

"The two sides of the Imperial Parliament are actually evenly matched. His Majesty's opinion is against him. Some of the parliamentary factions also support His Majesty. However, due to the previous punishment actions of Bavaria against the parliamentary factions, they dare not stand the end with the Bavarian side. It is hard to say how much determination His Majesty's German Majesty has. Of course, the Bavarian side's attitude this time is not very tough. In their opinion, it may not be a core issue, right?"

"If the two sides cannot reach a compromise, or if the situation is urgent, then the empire will likely convene a federal parliament, and by then they will be able to rely on their own abilities. I think this result is something that neither His Majesty nor Bavaria want to see, because it means the intensification of contradictions and endless revenge and confrontation." Count Marwitz said.

"So if we exclude the aristocratic houses that have no obvious interest demands and the federal parliament that no one wants to use, then the core of everyone's game should be the Imperial Parliament. Marwitz, we have some friends in the Imperial Parliament, right?" asked the crown prince.

"Yes, Your Highness. We can influence the attitude of at least 30 members of parliament." Earl Marwitz said.

"Very good, we can be regarded as a small bargaining chip in this battle. So good, we need to consider now, which side should we stand on?" said the crown prince.

"Okay, it's too late today. This problem cannot be solved in a day or two. You can go back first. Earl Marwitz, I'm a little tired on my behalf." The crown prince said at last.

More than ten minutes later, when Estrov and Hopman left the Polish Governor's Office, Prince William did not sleep, but sat in his office waiting for the arrival of Earl Marwitz. The prince was not sleepy at all, and there were still many things waiting for him to deal with. The imperial government's attitude towards Turkey was very important, but it was not what he wanted to discuss today. He needed to discuss with his absolute confidant about some things that could not be known to outsiders, and to some extent, were even very rebellious!

"I'm sorry, it's so late, I can't let you rest." The crown prince said melancholy to the old count who had been following him for more than ten years.

"It is my glory to be able to share the pain and stress for you." The old earl poured a cup of hot tea for the crown prince. "This is the black tea produced in Darjeeling, the best black tea in the world, and it is our trophy."

"I have had a very terrible relationship with Grand Duke Baden recently. He does not agree with some of my practices. He does not agree with our distribution of wealth for the Polish Governor's District, does not agree with our attitude towards the Poles and Russians, and does not agree with our religious policies. He does not agree with what we want to do now."

"I tried to explain to him that everything I did was just a temporary measure. If I wanted to gain allegiance from the Junker nobles, I had to have money and give them benefits. If I wanted the people of the empire to have a good impression of us, I had to compress the social resources of the Poles and the Russians, otherwise they would dilute the interests. My support for improving the status of Protestants is actually for the orthodoxy of the empire. We must master the righteousness in as many places as possible. However, the great prince did not agree with it." The crown prince sighed and said.

"Actually, you don't agree with some places. But you don't say it, right? Marwitz, my friend." After saying that, the crown prince stared at the old earl, hoping to get the answer from him.

"I can understand Your Highness's idea. You use the shortest time to unite as many people as possible. In a short period of time, you do have huge influence, but this influence is limited. It is unstoppable when it rises, and it will be very rapid when it declines. Because you only use your interests to bind some people, and when you buy some people, you offend more people, and many of your actions are achieved by damaging the overall interests of the empire." The old earl said calmly.
