Although I know that the Bavarian royal family can't do anything, both the king and the prime minister think it is necessary to communicate with his chief brother now. The future German emperor should also get to know the future Bavarian king first.

"It can be foreseen that the balance of power between states within Germany may undergo some changes, and this change will even affect some of our national policies." Bismarck whispered.

"It affects my national policy? Bavaria does not have this ability, nor does their kings have this idea." Frederick III said.

"There will definitely be an impact. Prussia's dominance is not simply because of its military and population advantages. The overwhelming economic advantage has also played a considerable role! The emergence of hardened armor will bring huge wealth to Bavaria. Not only does German warships require new armor, but Britain, Russia, Italy, Austro-Hungary, and even France will buy armor from Bavaria! This number is too large. Similarly, the same is true for rapid-fire cannons. The empire's hundreds of thousands of troops and foreign customers can provide this country with unimaginable funding accumulation." Bismarck's eyes showed a hint of uneasiness.

"They are willing to share the design patents for rapid-fire guns, and I heard that their current design still has some problems," said Frederick III. "We can do this only, and we cannot share their interests by investing in it." Obviously, the profits of hardened armor are the largest, but the Bavarian royal family has expressed their unwillingness to share this part of the profit. It is already very interesting that they can give up a small head now.

"What about the concessions we made?" Bismarck asked.

"They want to cooperate more widely with us! Bavaria is a country with a weak industrial foundation after all, and their industrial system is not perfect. If you want to make more money, you still need to integrate into the Prussian industrial system. Of course, we cannot refuse him, otherwise they can join forces with Austro-Hungary." said the old emperor.

"Very good, their choice is actually more conducive to our control of Bavaria. A prosperous Bavaria is also good news for the empire, and they can assume more obligations." Bismarck nodded in his agreement with the old emperor. Prussia is much stronger than Bavaria. This economic connection will allow both sides to be integrated and can exert greater influence through the economy. Just like Germany did to the Austro-Hungarian Empire! Prussia is desperate for it.

"You can ask William to invite Prince Ruprecht in his personal name. Young people will have more common hobbies, and they all seem to be very interested in the navy." The old emperor said with satisfaction.

"And that's what I'm worried about!" Bismarck said in his heart. His Highness the Crown Prince's unusual fanaticism towards the navy made him a little uneasy! If the Bavarian prince whine in the newspapers to make money, then what His Highness did was purely a hobby!

At the same time, Ludwig III, who was far away in Munich, was also communicating with his son, and the content he talked about was related to these things. **** stated that the royal family had agreed to share the rapid-fire artillery technology with Krupp. Each rapid-fire artillery produced by Krupp will pay a certain patent fee to the royal family. The replacement of artillery in Bavaria will be completed by the royal family itself. The export aspect will be resolved by the two.

"This result is pretty good." Ruprechite nodded, with no sign of dissatisfaction on his face.

"I thought you would be unhappy or even furious." **** said with a smile. "Tell me, is your current thought a kind of unwillingness to change or is it a recognition of something?"

"We don't have the ability to eat such a big piece of cake, and the situation in Germany does not allow us to eat this cake!" Ruprecht smiled and said, "To put it bluntly, this thing is an improvement of the gun stand. The technical level is limited. If Krupp is willing to do it, they will be able to do it sooner or later! Moreover, artillery and armor are different. When purchasing armor, you don't have to consider the cost of sunk. When purchasing artillery, you must consider the millions of shells in the warehouse! The German Army cannot abandon thousands of cannons and millions of shells."

The meaning of the time traveler is very simple. The technical difficulty of the gun stand is limited, far less than that of armor! Krupp cannot create armor better than KC in a short period of time, but it is still OK to get a certain rapid-fire gun! This is a short-term benefit, so it is better to exchange for some money! What's more, before the First World War, the Germans began to take the route of large caliber howitzers, and their interest in rapid-fire guns like the M1897 type was limited.

Although Krupp's artillery was not particularly outstanding in World War 1, the German Army had no choice in the face of a large number of artillery in stocks and astronomical shell stocks. To some extent, the German Army had been kidnapped by Krupp's artillery! After all, the Prussian Army had 19 armies! Bavaria only had 3 armies! The so-called small ship is easy to turn around. Ruprecht was willing to develop his own military-industrial system for Bavaria. If it was done well, it would be considered as joining forces with the Austro-Hungarian Empire and changing the Austro-Hungarian equipment system. After all, the Austro-Hungarian Empire's troops have always been known for their large time span and complex products.

If the World War continues to break out, if history does not change much, my uncle will be the commander-in-chief of the Eastern Front. If the Bavarian Legion can fight on the Eastern Front with the Austro-Hungarian Legion, then unified supplies will have a considerable effect on the battle situation. Even if you lose, you can still be a rich enough rich man! You will also make money by selling arms. Prussia has already formed its own system, so you can only start with Austro-Hungarian!

"In addition, you go to Berlin once. The young Bavarian generation needs to know something about the empire. Your efforts over the past few years have opened the door to glory for the kingdom, and I don't want your vision to be bound in this corner of Bavaria. You should pay attention to the empire and the world." **** said earnestly.

"So what do I have to do when I go to the empire this time?" Ruprecht asked.

"Do what you want to do." **** replied.

"Who do I need to meet?" Ruprecht continued.

"Maybe there are some people you don't want to see, but the people you meet will definitely see, even the emperor and queen of the empire." **** said with a smile. "In addition, William **** is fighting side by side with you in the newspaper. He has a good impression of you, and good personal relationships need to be maintained."

"I just knew it was this naughty kid who was domineering, paranoid, conceited and a little clever!" The time traveler said in his heart. William II, what is this guy like? Historically, he has different opinions on this person. Although it is mainly based on derogatory reprimands, he really wants to see this future imperial emperor.

No, not only William II, but also the current German emperor, the iron-blooded prime minister, the future Navy and State Minister, and may also include industrial giants and financial giants like Krupp! In short, I have to have a rough understanding of the entire German senior management! For the present, and for the future!

"Be prepared and tell me when you are ready and I will notify Berlin! Although this is a private meeting, you can do a lot of things. For Berlin, you can ask the Earl Aiden, the plenipotentiary representative of Bavaria to Berlin. He will help you." **** finally added.
Chapter completed!
