"My request is very simple. First, I need to have four mobile divisions. I have already mentioned the reason. Because Bavaria is in the central position, we need to have enough maneuvering power to support the two-line battle." The prince raised his first finger.

"Second, two of these four mobile divisions must be able to recruit Germans from Austria. The funding issue is borne by Bavaria and Austro-Hungary, and the imperial central government does not have to pay a penny!" The prince raised his second finger! This sentence made the German emperor on the opposite side feel a little dissatisfied.

"Why do we have to get involved with the Austro-Hungarian Empire?" the German Emperor frowned.

"Because of the cost of manpower and the need for future battles, from the moment, the cost of recruiting a local person in Bavaria is already very high. If the money to recruit two soldiers is placed in Bohemia or other regions of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, it may be possible to recruit 3 or 4 people. The latter is being removed from the grassroots system due to language or other problems, and we can accept the remaining manpower."

"As the king of the future, we must allow everyone to contribute the greatest strength and save all the cost that can be saved. After nearly 10 years of cultivation and construction, the people of Bavaria are more suitable as workers because they are more suitable for construction and production. However, the Austro-Hungarian Empire lacks enough jobs, so the necessary complementarity is needed."

"Everyone is German, and his religious beliefs are the same. Although both sides belong to the two countries, they are not different. Moreover, in the future, the Bavarian Legion and the Austro-Hungarian Legion will cooperate with each other. This behavior will help enhance the trust of both sides and reduce unnecessary trouble."

"It is beneficial to do this in terms of economic, military and political terms! Why can't we be more open?" the prince concluded.

"There are more than 50,000 people in four divisions. This is too many, and the Prussian military cannot accept it. At most, three divisions, and the total number of troops is equal to one army." The German Emperor actually didn't care much about Bavaria's licensed personnel from Austria. After all, it was still very common to hire personnel in this era.

During the Boer War, the Boer people had a unit composed of 9,000 Dutch and Irish, and the British colonial army recruited people from all over the world. The famous French foreign mercenary corps also existed. What really made the German Emperor care about was the size of the Bavarian army. If this plan was successful, the number of Bavarian troops would account for more than 20% of the total number of German troops. In addition, other kingdoms might also make demands for expansion, and the German Emperor always felt that it was not that good.

"Württemberg and Saxony will not make similar requests, because these armies are supported by our Bavaria, while the other two principalities are supported by the German government. The entire system and military organization are carried out under the constraints of the empire. So there is no comparison." The prince knew what the German emperor was worried about, so he said so.

"So why is Bavaria so maverick? All other countries are reorganizing their troops according to Prussian standards, but Bavaria is so special. This makes me very confused and makes some people in the empire very unhappy, or uneasy." The German Emperor frowned and said.

"I don't want to say much about the issue of faith and historical heritage. I think many people have mentioned these things. I just talk about the benefits of Bavaria maintaining this uniqueness and the benefits of Germany as a whole." The prince said calmly. He was actually prepared for the statement of the German Emperor.

As the king of Prussia and the emperor of Germany, the rulers of Prussia in history wanted to assimilate other kingdoms all the time. Of course, this assimilation did not mean directly abolishing the other party's kingdom, but gradually incorporated it into the whole. For example, in the early 20th century, Prussia completed the unification of postal and railways for the Kingdom of Württemberg and Saxony. For example, the unification of the above two kingdoms in the military system.

But unfortunately, when the Second Empire collapsed, Bavaria was still affected the least, at least in terms of military terms, which can be described as oneself. (The author of the postal and railways cannot remember it clearly-!) The prince knew that whether it was history or present, the German emperor would sooner or later reach out to Bavaria. As a future with great ambitions and ambitiousness, the prince naturally would not agree.

"Why do you want to adjust the General Staff? Why do you want to absorb the military superiors of other kingdoms into the decision-making system?" the prince asked directly. "Isn't it because you think that simply the Prussian Junker nobles are not good for imperial power?"

"In fact, you and I have a lot of ideas that cannot be implemented in the Prussian army at all. Some Junker nobles and capitalists have formed alliances. Even if they do not rely on imperial power, they still have very strong power. The Mauser rifle is not as easy to use as our new semi-automatic rifle. Prussia is not short of this little money, but it just cannot be promoted on a large scale."

"I can work as a motorist in Bavaria who mainly car capacity, but can Prussia? I'll invest the money originally used for Ma Zheng in the emerging automotive field. This will definitely have great resistance. I think the results of your early test work have already explained these issues."

"There are even arguments in the General Staff that they are unwilling to expand their army because they are worried about the decrease in the proportion of noble officers! Some people in high positions actually ignore the safety of the country for the sake of the selfish interests of a certain class! Is this tolerable? We cannot expand our army not because of money, manpower or political pressure, but because some people are unwilling to lose their monopoly privileges! This is really a rare thing!" The prince's words were full of mockery.

(This is really a historical fact. Interested book lovers can Baidu General Hellingen, Marshal of Prussians, Minister of the Prussian War, and Commander of the Seventh Army of Germany after the beginning of the First World War....)

"You have a hard time. If you want to make any changes and attempts, you have to use 7 points to resolve various internal conflicts. The remaining 3 points can do things. But Bavaria is different. Bavaria does not have the stubborn and powerful Junker aristocratic class, and there are no wealthy and cunning big capitalists. The king can represent the country. We can do whatever we want."

"So on this canvas, a truly capable person can exert his talents to the fullest. I can establish an economic system and a leading military system according to my own ideas, without considering various conservative forces. With this alone, Germany should keep the Bavarian military independent, because here, the German army can absorb fresh blood." said the prince.
