Chapter 43 Showdown!
A chess board, two cups of coffee. Two of Europe's top nobles. After all the servants left, the two remained silent. "You were trapped in a nightmare." Ruprecht spoke first.
"It can also be said to be a prophecy. I thought it was a nightmare at the beginning, but as I grew older, I found that it might be true!" Princess Mary smiled bitterly.
"The crowns of the German kings rolled into the mortal world?" said the time traveler tentatively.
"My motherland is divided, and Germany is also seriously damaged!"
"And you are trying to find a solution in the royal family, but no one understands it? Haven't you ever thought of another way?" The time traveler raised his eyebrows slightly, and this question was very critical!
"I thought about the problem as a princess, but found that it could not stop the nightmare from coming. You and me, or most of the royal family, are different. It is hard for me to describe you, my cousin."
"Very good, this is not a time traveler, but he has seen part of the future of history because of some metaphysical problems." The time traveler breathed a sigh of relief and said in his heart. Any time traveler of the same time traveler will understand a problem. No matter how bad the fist is, you must know how to develop productivity, right? Or promote the development of productivity, and this cousin of his life has no awareness at all!
She focused on internal improvement and relationship coordination. He didn't know why the world became what it was later, which meant that she only knew the result but not the process. She wanted to change within the system, and she was still looking for fish in the wood even though she knew the various ills of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. And this was much easier!
"Then why do you believe that I can help you?" Time Travel still doesn't understand why the other party is so persistent in troubleing yourself! This is unscientific! Well, even such a fantasy thing as Time Travel has happened, and there is something else that cannot be accepted?
"I saw the ending of almost everyone, the father who died before the collapse of the empire, the future German emperor who had been lonely for a lifetime, and the fallen Turkish Empire. But I only didn't see your ending. You seemed to disappear out of thin air." Princess Mary paused and continued, "You are an anomaly!"
"You are also an anomaly, because I didn't see your ending in my dream!" Both parties have established initial trust, so the best result that can strengthen this trust is naturally to share the same sympathy. And such a reason can also explain your own subsequent changes.
Many people have noticed the abnormal behavior of the young prince, but due to their identity, they cannot do more responsibilities. Since the Bavarian royal family can produce a rather weird Ludwig II, what if it can produce another prince who likes to climb the technology tree? Anyway, the prince has learned everything he should learn. It is still a long way to go to the throne.
When the time travelers' efforts are effective, gradually recover their costs and start making money, no one jumps out and talks about this! After all, no one can't get over it, especially after two foreign orders were finalized in just a few days, the Bavarian royal family can obtain at least 400,000 pounds of net profit by selling armor! This is also why the Austro-Hungarian Empire has accelerated its pace and approached its own poor relatives!
"Compared with you, my so-called efforts over the years are just a joke." Princess Mary said with some shame: "I can't change anything except for letting my relatives look at me in a strange way."
"Maybe this is the difference between Prussia and Austria. The former values the power in his hands, while the latter uses diplomacy, marriage or other means to achieve his goals. In the end, the German states that will win will be Prussia rather than Austria." Princess Mary said thoughtfully.
"It's a pity that I'm just a Bavarian prince, and the resources I can mobilize in my hands are very limited. Some things are difficult to do." The prince extended an olive branch.
"God lets us see the future at the same time, and we should work together to change all this. And this time, Prime Minister Taff's visit has given us an opportunity!" said Princess Mary. "What else do you need me to do?"
"To be a royal member, our career requires many people. The Austro-Hungarian Empire was a big country. There are always some people who would stand on our side because of their faith and interests. We need an alliance with the Germans as the main body." The prince did not trust the Hungarians, or their independence was a matter of time before it could be. This rise of nationality is difficult to reverse.
"In addition, you can also serve as the link between the Bavarian royal family and the Habsburg royal family. There are many things that I can't do. But you are much more convenient."
"Of course I will try to do these things as well." Princess Mary nodded. "In addition, I feel that as a future king, your ability to be political and deal with people needs to be improved."
"Now, there are few things we need to do most. The cooperation between Skoda and the Kingdom of Bavaria must mention the agenda as soon as possible. This industrial body mainly consists of arms and heavy industries, preferably located in Nuremberg. The distance to your country's Bohemia industrial zone and to the Ruhr zone is not far away, and it is very convenient."
"In the future, the equipment of some elite troops in the Bavarian Legion and Austro-Hungarian Legion will be provided by this industrial complex. Arms are only one aspect, and there may be cars, tractors and other heavy equipment in the future. The improvement of Bavarian and Austro-Hungarian industries depends on them."
"In addition, inland shipping between the two countries will also be stepped up, and the price of inland shipping is the lowest, which will greatly reduce our product costs and increase our competitiveness."
"In a word, you must first have money to talk about other things! Only with money can you have a strong army and shock enemies at home and abroad."
No matter how much the other person can understand, he brings out everything he thinks. The time traveler is almost saying that he has to do what he understands, and even what he doesn’t understand!
"It's over?" Princess Mary blinked, and her expression that although I didn't understand, she almost collapsed when she almost broke down.
The discussion lasted for several hours to relieve the time traveler, but the result was pretty good, and he won an ally. Now His Highness dares to proudly say that Brother also has allies in the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Although he is still a little suspicious of his unfamiliar sister.
Well, at least from the moment, the help my cousin can provide is very limited. The key to whether he can get benefits from the Austro-Hungarian Empire is the subsequent talks with Count Taff. This aspect is mainly based on his father, and I hope to finalize the development and establishment of the Danube Heavy Industry Body!
