"You are fine." When Bismarck exited the room and closed the door casually, only the German Emperor Frederick III and Prince Ruprecht remained in the room. The relationship between the two sides was unequal. The former was the emperor of Germany, while the latter was a prince who could inherit the throne in the next few decades. Faced with the absolute superior, Ruprecht had to admit defeat.

"Are you satisfied with the matter now?" Looking at the silent prince, the German Emperor continued.

"I am naturally satisfied with the things in Bavaria, but you have to decide whether the things in Germany are satisfied." Finally, Ruprecht spoke and said with a slight or hard sentence.

"Just for a business, can you do this? You are the prince and the future heir to Bavaria! Can't you consider priorities when doing things?" Frederick III finally couldn't help it. He really couldn't understand why Ruprecht and the family behind him valued economic interests so much! You even did not hesitate to do it. You are kings, although they are a little worse, but they are much better than Krupp.

"This matter is actually very simple. Navy bidding naturally selects the best one. If Krupp can't play in the scene, he will turn over the table. They took the initiative first. Can we have to endure it?" Ruprecht said something. If it weren't for your Hohenzollern family's years of indulgence, Krupp would have the courage? You are still trying to get the traitor and don't look for the first culprit, and you have to cause trouble for yourself. What do you mean?

"Yes, there are many people in the Kingdom of Prussia who are worried about the rise of Bavaria. They are worried that their navy and army will be subject to the use of Bavarian weapons, their interests will be violated, and Bavaria will be independence. I can guarantee that you will receive no less than twenty letters about the Bavarian rebellion this month! So good, I want to ask, are you worried?"

"Do you think I should be worried?" Frederick III asked back with a frown.

"Some people should be worried, but they should definitely not be worried about the Prussian royal family. We have indeed robbed many people of their business, among which the military industry is the best, such as warship armor production, rapid-fire artillery, machine guns, rifles, smoke-free ******, etc. Well, I admit that it has also reduced the income of the Prussian royal family."

"But as you said just now, we are kings, and our vision should be on a country, whether it is armor, artillery or firearms, to ultimately make our army stronger! The benefits and the little economic losses in this regard are more important, you should be clear, right? You are the emperor of the German nation, not just the king of Prussia."

"Haha, but now what the Bavarian royal family does is the business of a merchant. You said I should think about the problem from the perspective of the emperor, so should you also think about it from the perspective of the heir to the throne?" Frederick III asked back.

"From your and my status, Germany is the best situation now. The royal and kings control everything. Our will is the will of the country. Although the Empire and the Kingdom Parliament are important, the final decision is in our hands. We can appoint and remove the prime minister or dissolve the parliament. In terms of rights, we have reached the limit! But even so, I still feel like walking on thin ice."

"Why?" Frederick III asked almost subconsciously.

"Because the economic lifeline of our kingdom is controlled by those factory owners and financiers! We almost subconsciously help these guys gain benefits because they can provide the cannons and various machinery needed by our army, because they can mine minerals and provide funds for the operation of the empire. The empire's money bags cannot be separated. After hundreds of years, we will rely on them, and they will control us with the weapons of money! Many things that were originally very simple are twisted under the magic of money. The monarchs can see the back of money. When their interests are violated, they can incite the confrontation between the country and the nation."

"This time, the competition between us and Krupp will make anyone with a brain choose! The country's most important weapon, the superior performance wins. How simple is this. I want to ask, because Bavaria is a state and we influenced Krupp's business, so Prussia acquiesced or even supports Krupp. People say that German capitalism is capitalism supported by the state, but I want to say that German capitalism is a capitalist kidnapped the country. Is Germany really unable to accommodate two artillery manufacturers? Since the two have a competition against Germany, why don't you choose this?"

"We also talk about Krupp. After we developed the rapid-fire gun, the Prussian government asked us to share technology. After Japan showed goodwill to Germany, Krupp also got the order with the help of the German government. Now, with the acquiesce of the government, Krupp has initiated this incident! Tell me. What role does the German government play in these things?"

"Haha." Frederick III smiled bitterly. What Ruprecht said was true, and the German Emperor naturally understood the knot in it. On the one hand, Krupp was a Prussian company, and within the German system, there was still a difference between Prussia and Bavaria. Everyone knew this in their hearts, not to mention that there were many frictions between the two sides. On the other hand, the German government and the royal family were really kidnapped by money as Ruprecht said!

Of course, these words must not be said. If there are too many things in the world that go against one's will, the king should not do it arbitrarily! Bavaria is absolutely unwilling to share the rapid-fire gun technology. Japan came to Germany to order arms. At first, it also liked Bavaria, but under the "guidance" of the Prussian government, he bought Krupp artillery. This matter made the relationship between the two sides a little subtle. In the end, after the naval gun incident broke out, Bavaria could not help it and broke out in a straight round.

Now, what made the German Emperor even more depressed, the Krupp company benefited, and the officials and government departments who helped Krupp get orders and technology gained benefits. In the end, the German royal family took the blame! Let Frederick III wipe the capitalist's butt! This nm is too depressed! It is impossible to say that Frederick III has no complaints! This country belongs to him!

Frederick III was not stupid. Anyone with a little brain knew how to choose this series of things, but as Ruprecht said, the German Emperor had to do things against his will. Then he had to pretend that I was so smart. This is a strategy, and you don’t understand it. It’s really hateful!
