"I'm very relaxed now. I want to know now, if the officers and the German Emperor both oppose Princess Mary to become the crown prince, then what will you do?" Prince Leopold asked with a restrained smile.

"Either the German Emperor, the Prussian officers' regiment or Bavaria can control the affairs of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, right? Unless they are ready to fight another Pujio-Austrian war. By the same token, I am not sure that I am Princess Mary's husband, but I cannot interfere in the internal affairs of Vienna," the prince said with a smile.

In Ruprecht's view, it was possible for the German Emperor to react fiercely, but the German officers would not. Even if they did not agree, they would never fight each other. This was forced by the situation and they had to bow their heads. Since the coercive power was gone, Ruprecht was still afraid of a bad person! If the German Emperor was really unwilling to compromise on this matter, Ruprecht really planned to let him be a monarch in a virtual position!

"There is another thing. Maybe it's not appropriate for me to say this, but I need to remind you that the situation in Austria is very complicated. After the war, in addition to major policies, don't worry too much about some things. Just control and build the Bohemia, Moravia and Slovakia that are included in your control. This is closely related to our Bavaria. And from the current point of view, after your generation, your eldest son will inherit the Austrian Empire, and your second son will inherit the Bavarian Kingdom. This relationship may be very troublesome. You must handle it well." Prince Leopold said.

"I will think seriously, uncle." The prince nodded and said. In fact, the prince is indeed considering this issue. In the future, his son will really inherit the authority of Vienna and Munich at the same time. If it is operated properly, even the authority of Berlin would be possible! Of course, this will take more than twenty years to make the Vettelsbach family a royal family of the entire German Empire. So now, let's not mention this issue for the time being, just make the preparations.

"When will Count Schelling go?" Prince Leopold asked after thinking.

"On the day after you set off, he will go directly to Berlin to meet with Albert, but he is somewhat different from your mission. This time, he not only confirms Albert's attitude towards the parliamentary party, but more importantly, Earl Schelling needs to determine how Albert wants to stop this coup!" Ruprecht said.

In fact, Albert is at a disadvantage now, and the situation on the Western Front has basically stabilized. With the support of the Bavarian Legion, the German defense line on the Western Front will not be broken. After the German Emperor obtained industrial support from the Ruhr area, it would be fine to survive this winter. If in spring, even if Bavaria remains neutral, the Markensen Legion, which can return from land, will quickly return to East Prussia, and then everything will be confirmed. Not to mention that all of them are back, as long as 100,000 troops are returned, it will be enough to let Albert and others go to the gallows! So at this time, Albert is most anxious! He must obtain support from Bavaria and other centrists to ensure that at least not be liquidated. Therefore, even though he knows that sometimes he has to be a gun for Bavaria, Albert's Social Democratic Party must do it!

In fact, in addition to Prince Leopold and Earl of Schelling, Ruprecht also sent a special envoy to Port Kiel for negotiations with General Scher of the Navy. At the same time, he also had to go to Riga and talk to General Markens there about these matters, and all aspects must be handled. Even if some things cannot be compromised, there must be a preparation.

"Then your ultimate plan is to divide Prussia into two. So how do you plan to divide Prussia?" asked Prince Leopold.

"If we look at public opinion, East Prussia, Pomorie, West Prussia and Posen are inclined to the German Emperor. In the Silesian Province, because the German Emperor is indifferent to the Poles' actions, he is now inclined to the parliamentary. Now the German Emperor is in the provinces controlled by the Western Front, Rhine-West** and Rhineland. In fact, the Rhineland prefers parliament, but unfortunately it is controlled by the German Emperor's iron fist." Ruprecht roughly introduced the situation.

"So, in the future, the areas that William II can directly control include East Prussia, Pomory, West Prussia, Possen and Rhineland? And the provinces that the parliamentary faction may control are Brandenburg, Silesia, Rhine-West**, Hessen-Nassau, and Lower Saxony?" asked Prince Leopold. "This seems good. The whole Prussia is divided into roughly equal two parts, but there are Schlesuille-Elstein, and Alsace-Lorraine, which are the centrally-directed provinces?"

"Let's talk about this at that time. It depends on their attitude, who has a good attitude and who cooperates with us better. These places are just a big deal. Of course, now it's just a plan, and there will be some changes. In addition, for Mecklenburg, which was overthrown by the parliamentary faction, we must restore it. At this time, we must exist as the protectors of the German states. Therefore, in the future, the Prussian division will be limited to the areas controlled by Prussia, and will not involve other states." The prince said.

"What if the capital of the future empire? Or should I choose Berlin?" Leopold asked.

"Of course, Berlin will still be the capital of the empire in the future, and a considerable part of the place will be crossed out from Brandenburg Province, and this place is controlled by neutral parties. The mayor of Berlin cannot come from Prussia, nor from the subsequent federal government formed by the parliamentary faction, and Bavaria." The prince was obviously ready for what was happening later.

"So what about the political system of the future empire? What about the national army?" asked Prince Leopold.

"The whole is still dual in the Imperial Federal Parliament and the Imperial Parliament. As the honorary supreme leader, the Prime Minister is responsible for actual operations and is in charge of government affairs. The army is composed of national and local armies. The parliament sends free states, Prussia and Bavaria have their own independent military systems. The remaining troops recruited from other states are supported by the government and commanded by the government. In wartime, the state and local armies form a joint command. The military logistics and equipment parts are unified. For example, you can equip different machine guns, but bullets and most accessories must be used." The prince thought for a while and said.

"The Air Force has not yet figured out that it may be divided into land aviation and strategic bomber units. The Army aviation is assigned to the Army, and the Strategic Bomber Unit is directly under the country. Its funds are allocated according to the agreement ratio every year. The Navy will have a separate aviation unit." The prince said.
