2419 Meeting 2

Obviously, everyone knows that if the German side wants to talk about some confidential matters with Gustav V this time, then the only one who can make the decision is Crown Prince Ruprecht! Even at the diplomatic level, his power is greater than that of the German Emperor! Because this is the three internal giants in Germany who are recognized as allowing the Crown Prince to be responsible for the diplomatic affairs of Europe and the United States! And now, Ruprecht actually chose to leave the venue with him for a temporary period of time, which really makes him confused. What the crown prince is selling in his gourd!

Of course, some people may say that this is in Germany. Even if Ruprecht is not there, others can discuss some things with Gustav V. This may indeed exist. But imagine, if this is the case, Ruprecht just squeezes Brandt away. There is no need to leave the market by himself.

"His grandpa, today's script is a bit beyond my expectations." Gustav V said unexpectedly as he looked at the leaving Crown Prince Ruprecht and Branding.

"No matter what we talk about, if we want to implement it in the end, we must gain the recognition of your government. This is something that cannot be avoided. Since we cannot avoid it, why don't we actively respond?" Grand Duke Baden looked at Gustav V with a somewhat embarrassed face and continued. "Under the current situation, it is difficult to implement the idea of ​​your lord's power through the external influence of the empire. After all, Sweden has been restricting the power of the king since the early 18th century. The rights of the monarch have been constantly weakening for hundreds of years. We cannot change all this in just a few days. Do you think?"

Grand Duke Baden understood the idea of ​​this relative very well. To restore Sweden's past glory was one of the aspects, but more importantly, he wanted to restore the royal rights. However, this was not so easy for the German Empire to agree. The reason was very simple. Germany would not offend a country that could be a trading partner and his citizens for the sake of a certain person's desire for rights! There is no conflict of fundamental interests between Sweden and Germany, and even Germany does not force Sweden to send troops like Finland, like when the war reigns, Sweden must send troops, because Sweden has no reason! After all, Sweden and Russia do not border!

Germany's current strategy for Sweden is to pull it into the European Union dominated by Germany and Austria, and then divide the work into mutual benefit through production! Sweden is different from Finland. Look at the industrial giants that are very famous in later generations, you can know that Sweden's industrial and scientific research capabilities are not weak, but in some aspects, such as Ericsson's communications, Bofors' artillery, and Nobel Industrial Group's chemical industry. For powerful and non-hostile countries, Germany will mainly win over. Therefore, even if the Grand Duke Baden and Gustav V are relatives, he will never make any promises to Gustav.

Of course, Germany still has to take care of Gustav V's mood. After all, everyone is a relative and potential ally. If it operates well, Sweden in the future may be very close to Germany! "I think what you need to do most now is not to compete for power, but to repackage the royal family! At least we need to make the Swedish people realize that the king is not just a symbol of Sweden. He has the ability and mind to create a better future for Sweden. For example, if the mutually beneficial cooperation between Germany and Sweden can be created by you in the future, then it will undoubtedly be a huge improvement for your reputation. After gaining reputation, we can gradually expand our influence among the people, parliament and government."

This method was thought of by Ruprecht for Gustav V, and there is a reason for this! Because Gustav VI's son Gustav VI redefined and packaged the Swedish royal family in this way! After Gustav VI ascended the throne, a considerable number of people in Sweden once wanted to completely abolish the monarchy!

During his reign, Gustav VI successfully reversed the views of the domestic people on the royal family, making the Swedish royal family more friendly. He also defined the king as a middleman of various political forces in the country, using his personality and ability to communicate with various parties. He had no scandals or caused any trouble, and won the recognition of the Swedish people in this way! He was much better than his father!

Gustav VI recognized reality well and found his own position in reality! It is impossible to restore the monarch's rights! The monarch has become a symbol, so it is difficult to regain power again! Instead of thinking about something unrealistic, it is better to do this symbol well! Being close to the people and reconciling party conflicts can undoubtedly establish a very positive image.

And the same is true of what the German Empire wants to do now. It is no benefit to rashly help Gustav V restore his rights. On the contrary, letting Gustav V use his special relationship as a bridge for cooperation between Germany and Sweden is the best choice! While communicating the relationship between the two countries, the importance of the king will naturally increase. Not to mention how much power he can eventually regain, but his influence will definitely increase.

"Believe me, Your Majesty the King, we are your best friends in this world. We hope to see you play a greater role in Sweden in the future. This is the German Empire's kindness to you and our commitment to you." Grand Duke Baden said earnestly.

"I believe in you, my closest relative." Gustav V nodded and said.

"Next, His Majesty the Emperor and His Highness the Crown Prince Ruprecht will meet with you separately to discuss some issues. I believe that if we operate properly, then the next time when the Crown Prince meets you, the unpleasant Brandin will not appear in the venue." Grand Duke Baden said.

"Really? This guy is very stubborn, like a stone!" Gustav V was obviously very dissatisfied with Brandin.

"Brantine is just a stone, and Crown Prince Ruprecht is steel." Grand Duke Baden said with a smile.

"Haha, then we will wait for the victory of the Bavarian crown prince tonight." Gustav V seemed to be infected, so he said with a smile.

At the same time, Crown Prince Ruprecht and Carl Alma Brantine had already arrived in a relatively remote house. The house was not big and the interior was not luxurious. But it made people feel very comfortable. How to put it, it felt a bit like the light luxury of later generations.
