"Well, are you saying that the post-war reconstruction and bidding plan was advanced? It is OK in Poland and eastern Ukraine, but the situation is still unstable in a farther place." Morris thought for a while and said. The so-called "not planning for all ages is not enough to plan a corner. As a farming skill point, Ruprecht naturally planned a development path for the Austro-Hungarian Empire after the war, and the problem that cannot be avoided in this path is attracting investment and purchasing a large number of industrial products! Because the Austro-Hungarian Empire was not a powerful industrial country, it was too difficult to digest and build such a vast area with current power.

The territory of the newly added region needs the product of industrial civilization. Not to mention anything else, just talk about railways! In Ukraine, the railway density per unit area is only one-tenth or even one-tenth of that of Germany and Austria! If you want to be rich, you must build roads first! Ukraine is rich, sure, both the coal mines in Donbass and the rich agricultural products of Ukraine are the foundation of an empire. Unfortunately, it is inconvenient to transport these things out! Therefore, roads must be built first!

The war reparations only gave the Austro-Hungarian Empire the start-up capital, which will be used to purchase equipment, build infrastructure, etc. The Austro-Hungarian Empire itself was not sufficient, so what should I do if the Austro-Hungarian Empire had a lot of money in my hand? Of course, I will buy it! It can not only be purchased from Germany and the United States, but also from the French! It doesn’t matter if the money is not enough. The Austro-Hungarian Empire has land, a lot of land! And a large number of projects! These things can be exchanged for money! Later generations knew that infrastructure and land were the most profitable... And now, the crown prince just said this and did some in advance!

"That's right! We must take a cooperative attitude and create a prediction in German social opinion that Germany and Austria's future economic development is about to reach a new peak. This time, our main goal is the old Prussian region, the United States, France and even the United Kingdom! In related salons or parties, tell everyone that this time we only talk about business, and anyone can come! Even ordinary people can buy bonds from the Austro-Hungarian government, and everyone can make money together." Ruprecht said.

"If you do this, will Bavaria and the Southern German states have any objections?" Harris frowned and said. Harris naturally understood this set, because no one could not match the money. In fact, Bavaria could finally bind Austro-Hungary and Southern German states to this point. For example, the air-cooled engine used by the Bavarian Air Force is BMW, and the liquid-cooled engine is Daimler-Benz. The latter's base camp is in Stuttgart, the capital of the Kingdom of Württemberg. If the Austro-Hungarian Empire bid a large number of bids in the old Prussia region this time, I'm afraid the Crown Prince's previous basic cards would be very dissatisfied?

"No, Bavaria also gained a vast territory, enough for our previous friends to eat for 20 years. The Kingdom of Württemberg, the Kingdom of Saxony and even the Grand Duchy of Baden are closer to us, and it is within a country, so there will be less trouble, and there are no so-called tariffs and other issues. They are definitely more willing to make money nearby and do what I said." Ruprecht said without any mind. There is no way. After this war, Germany and Austria made too much in terms of territory and resources! If the colonies are included, they can be described as squandering.

"This is a reconciliation attitude? But will this reconciliation make the other party feel our weakness?" Harris said with some concern: "In addition, I think this will have an adverse impact on the industry within the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Even if we have enough market and demand, the fierce foreign competition in Mandarin is still not good."

"Orders and markets can be used not only to exchange materials but also to exchange technology, management and talents. Proper competition can promote the establishment of the national industrial system. Although I personally despise some factory owners in the old Prussian region, I have to admit that even though they have various problems, they are still much better than the Hungarians! Sometimes we have to put a ferocious catfish in the fish pond." The crown prince said.

"What then?" asked Morris.

"Then? It depends on mine. The allocation of compensation this time is not something that can be achieved in a short period of time. The total number is certain. If you have more, there will be fewer others. We have to take it slowly. We must first create an environment that is beneficial to us. It is not just a public opinion environment, but more importantly, to win over potential allies. Let us remember one thing, the so-called leader is actually the spokesperson of many people. Their rights come from supporters. If supporters no longer support him, then the so-called leader has only two choices, one is to step down and the other is to compromise." Ruprecht said.

"I understand what you mean. Are you trying to attack the basic parliamentary faction? By sharing benefits with some German capitalists, we can obtain start-up funds that are crucial to the development of the empire?" said Morris.

"It is not only the parliamentary faction, but also the kings and grand dukes. It is very common for the high-ranking nobles of the German Empire to engage in industrial and financial investment. In addition, the German Empire was actually a federal, so each state would consider its own interests, such as Prussia and Baden."

"In fact, I don't regard war compensation as the German Emperor or the parliamentary faction. Their philosophy is more about war, getting compensation, and then lying on the pile of gold coins for a lifetime. This is unrealistic. The purpose of war is to obtain a broader development space and opportunities for development. Compensation is important, but the establishment of future strategic planning and development structure is more important. We have a very good opportunity, an opportunity to end the turmoil and disputes in the European continent for hundreds of years and establish a thousand-year empire!" Ruprecht said.

"As the first step in this grand ambition, we must allow the German Empire and the Austro-Hungarian Empire to continue to be closely united and make deep adjustments in the alliance. We must break some barriers, allow resources and manpower to flow better, and reduce internal friction between countries. Lay a solid foundation for the future battle that determines the fate of Europe. Therefore, we must reduce each other's hostility and let most people realize that cooperation is the best result." Ruprecht said.

"I believe that in the future, I will have the honor to see this day." Morris said respectfully.
