2824 The controller in the dark 2
"His Grand Duke, is your arrival in Munich for this time representing yourself or His Majesty the German Emperor?" At Neuschwanstein Castle, Crown Prince Ruprecht met Grand Duke Baden again.
"It has both. After all, what you did in the capital of the Ottoman Empire not long ago made many people feel dissatisfied, and they need a reason. As myself, I also have some questions to ask you. Faced with the complex situation in Turkey, you don't seem to be in a hurry at all." Grand Duke Baden said.
"Are you talking about the rescue of Marshal Kemal? Well, I should indeed notify the Imperial diplomatic department in advance for this matter. This is my mistake, but you know that many things are sudden. We originally planned to invite Marshal Kemal to us in a more gentle way, but the sudden assassination made us unable to implement our previous plan, and wasn't everything settled in the end? The imperial government did not spend a penny, nor did it have any reputation or actual losses. I think it's all for this matter?" Crown Prince Ruprecht said with a smile.
"Forget it?!" The dissatisfaction in Baden's heart was already reflected. It was not that Bavaria took extraordinary measures against Turkey and made the top leaders feel dissatisfied with the top leaders of the empire. In fact, the dissatisfaction in this regard was the lowest, because in the eyes of the arrogant German emperor and the top leaders, it is reasonable to take some banging actions in the face of disobedient Turkey. Bavaria, as a state that can build embassies in other countries, also has the right to do so. However, the biggest problem is that Bavaria joined forces with the Austro-Hungarian Empire on this issue, and did not notify Berlin in advance, which is the most unbearable for the top leaders of the empire! After all, Bavaria is still a state under the German Empire, and now it is too close to the Austro-Hungarian Empire!
"It happened suddenly. In fact, according to the original plan, I was not going to let the Austro-Hungarian Empire participate. After all, my approach made my wife bear huge pressure, but after all, I think we cannot lose this important piece of chess piece of Kemal, and we must prepare in Turkey as early as possible. The arms sent were not only for the life of Kemal's family, but more importantly, to buy us time. I am balancing the power between Sultan and Pasha." Ruprecht said.
"Can Your Highness tell this matter more clearly?" asked Grand Duke Baden.
"First, if Bavaria implements its plan for Turkey independently, what will Berlin think?" Ruprecht asked.
"Berlin will be very dissatisfied. Both the government and the parliament will express extreme protests against your actions and may even take radical actions. After all, you have touched the bottom line of the empire. Only the imperial government has the right to declare war or large-scale foreign military operations. You have transgressed." Grand Duke Baden replied very affirmatively. There was even a hint of threat in his tone.
"I think so too, so I'm trying to avoid this." Crown Prince Ruprecht said: "That's fine, I'll ask the second question. If you want the Imperial Parliament to come up with a plan on the Turkey issue, how long do you think it will take? Is one month enough?"
"It may take 2 months to conservatively. You know, the Turkish issue involves quite a few hills in the empire, and they have some benefits there." Grand Duke Baden felt that he had no shame to say these things. After all, there are many hills in the empire, and the efficiency of handling things has plummeted. To put it bluntly, sometimes when you support me, I oppose things that are really popular. Although the expansion of the empire is more powerful, the decision-making and reaction speed of the center has been reduced! This is really a sad thing!
"Sometimes I miss the decision-making efficiency of the empire before the war. Although it was not high at that time, as long as the German Emperor and I could reach an agreement, everything would be fine. He helped me withstand the pressure from other aspects, and I was responsible for getting things done and finally checking out, and everyone took their own share." Crown Prince Ruprecht said with emotion.
"We all know that the Americans have never completely given up their intervention in Turkey's political situation. They chose Zemal Pasha and Leta Pasha who are willing to reform. The removal of Kemal was also to eliminate obstacles for the superiority of these two Pashas. Sudan will not stand with the Americans. So after losing the pavilion of Kemal, we must strengthen the power of Sudan. In Turkey, the most valuable force is naturally the army, so I handed over some of the excess equipment to Sudan. Although his acquiescent attitude towards the removal of Kemal Pasha made me angry, we no longer have a more suitable candidate in the entire Turkey." Ruprecht explained to Grand Duke Baden.
"It's reasonable, at least enough to deal with the central questioning." Grand Duke Baden said in his heart.
"Okay, this incident can be considered an accident, but I hope that such an accident will not happen again in the future." Crown Prince Ruprecht said this, so the Grand Duke of Baden could not continue to pursue it, and the center did not have the ability to continue to entangle with Bavaria on this issue. After all, this incident did not cause any adverse consequences, and all the efforts were paid by Bavaria. They did not suffer any losses, so they naturally would not be entangled.
"This kind of thing will not happen again in the future." Crown Prince Ruprecht sighed.
"Hmm?! I feel very relieved with your attitude." Grand Duke Baden said with some surprise.
"Whoever wants to care about this matter is responsible. Anyway, I don't care. The things I gave out before were considered to be our contribution to the empire, but you can do whatever you want in the future." The crown prince spread his hands and said.
"Hold the grass, what's the situation?" Grand Duke Baden felt like ten thousand alpacas were running wildly. He really didn't expect that at this critical moment, the crown prince would choose to give up the ball and quit! However, if he doesn't do it, who can take on this matter? Emperor German? His younger brother? Please, these two people can't even handle domestic affairs. How can they have the energy and ability to deal with the already complicated Turkish situation?
"Are you kidding?" Grand Duke Baden said with a somewhat embarrassed expression: "You were working hard for the situation in Turkey just a few days ago. Your special forces rescued Marshal Kemal who was assassinated and used the arms provided to the Sudan to maintain the balance of Turkey's internal strength. Why did you suddenly announce your withdrawal? Haven't the efforts you made before were in vain?"
