"The population of Bavaria is only more than 12 million now. My father is the king. He cannot allow his people to lose too much in the war. Although Bavaria's industrial and economic strength is strong, our troops are limited. We will gradually invest more than 500,000 troops into the battlefield. Because in the future, the military factories in Bavaria will not only supply their own troops, but also the Prussian Legion and Austro-Hungarian Legion, which means that our total number of troops is limited."

"So, the best way to cooperate is for Bavaria to provide officers, training, equipment, and funds. The grassroots forces are provided by your country. Obviously, the closest to Bavaria, the only place that is most convenient for us to operate this matter is Pomichia. Both regions are next to each other, and they have very close relationships with each other and have close civil relations. As long as we have another governmental status, then all problems are not a problem!"

"They are all Czechs. I remember you should have a lot of opinions about the Czechs, right? You have always planned to build a German army that has always been pure blood." said Grand Duke Ferdinand.

"First of all, there are a large number of Germans in Sudetenland, and secondly, we chose Germans because of their nationality and loyalty. And if the Czechs could do this, I wouldn't mind using the Czechs. Also, how to build and use this army is my business, you don't have to care."

"We can even make a bet, as a reward for the Bavarian Legion's assistance to the Austro-Hungarian Empire, my wife should be awarded the title of Bohemia-Moravian Grand Duke and the management of the region. And if your army can face the Russian army alone and do not need the help of the Bavarian Legion, then we will give up our internal rights in the above two regions after the war."

"If the Austro-Hungarian government needs the Bavarian army to fight in Galicia or other areas, then the previous agreement will continue, and depending on the battles you participate in, your country needs to pay different quotations. The risks and benefits of both of us are equal. Everything is based on our ability, how do you feel?" said Prince Ruprecht.

"But no matter what, you have to control these two places before and during the war, is that right?" said Crown Prince Ferdinand.

"We have undertaken the defensive tasks of Bohemia and Moravia at the same time. I need to make it clear that the Bavarian Legion was not assigned to the Austro-Hungarian Empire by the German Emperor? We are just cooperative relations, and you do not have the right to order. We also have to undertake the task of the German defense zone. We train the army and provide funds for the Austro-Hungarian Legion, but we do not even have the right to command or use local resources. This is not appropriate, right?" The prince refused to give in.

Incorporating these two areas into their own control during the war was the prince's bottom line, because Bohemia and Moravia were not only the most important industrial bases of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, but also important military bases. At the beginning of the war, just from the infantry, the Czech Legion occupied a very important position in the Austro-Hungarian Legion! It was an indispensable pillar.

First of all, from the perspective of infantry regiments, there are 41 infantry regiments composed of the Hungarians, located at the top of all ethnic groups. Not to mention it for the time being. The Czech infantry regiment has 16 infantry regiments, ranking second. The infantry regiments composed of Austrian Germans have 10 infantry regiments, ranking third. There are 6 infantry regiments composed of Moravians, ranking fourth. The rest are Croats, Slovenians, etc., as well as some ethnic mixed regiments. That is to say, even according to history, Ruprecht can obtain at least 24 infantry regiments from Bohemia and Moravian regions. This greatly enriches the number of infantry in the Bavarian Legion.

In addition to the infantry regiment, the Austro-Hungarian Empire also had hunting barracks. In addition to the 24 infantry regiments, these two regions can also provide 7 hunting barracks (5 in the Czech Republic and 2 in Moravia.) And the entire Austria has only 6 German hunting barracks, and Hungary has only 8 hunting barracks. With these forces in hand, the Bavarian Legion will be able to be at ease in both offense and defense.

Judging from the population of the two places, Bohemia now has a population of 6.86 million, while Moravia is much smaller, but there are 2.666 million people! (The above data is the population in 1913 in history.) This nearly 9.5 million people can provide Ruprecht with a large number of reserve forces, commanded by the prince, with elite equipment provided by Bavaria and Bohemia. The losses of the Czech legion will definitely be far lower than those of history. If there is no large loss stimulation, the Czech Republic's tendency to national independence will be suppressed, and this area is still relatively stable.

Of course, in terms of territory, the Bohemia region has 51,967 square kilometers. Moravia also has 22,231 square kilometers. These two places together have 74,000 square kilometers. The area is almost comparable to the Kingdom of Bavaria. If you want more, something will definitely happen. After all, the area of ​​the Kingdom of Austria is only 300,000 square kilometers, which is equivalent to going to a quarter of the territory!

In return, the Bavarian Legion could not only win more than 70,000 square kilometers of land for the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The entire Western Ukraine and some Poland could consider it. If Romania was still as ignorant as in history, it would be fine to clean it up. Of course, the prince's purpose was in the end. Even if some parts of Hungary left the Austro-Hungarian Empire, he and Princess Mary could still have a world-class power, thus completing the accumulation of power of the Vettelsbach family from the Kingdom to the Empire.

"The rights can be delegated to you now, and you can prepare for war according to your own ideas. Princess Mary will be the female grand duke of Bohemia-Moravia, but I think the issue of inheritance rights of descendants will be easier to discuss after the war begins. As for the exception of fighting with the Russians, I don't think Serbia needs to consider at all. We can handle them soon." King Fritz said.

"Then that's it. I hope this appointment can be completed as soon as possible. As for the work of the Bohemia local government, we will do it. Sometimes, money and communication can make the other party surrender more than Huairou." Prince Ruprecht said. The result is acceptable to the prince. As long as the other party delegates power before the war, he will let himself take over successfully, that's enough, because the Austro-Hungarian army was destined to be unable to defeat the Russians in the first battle, so in order to save the empire, Fritz can agree to any conditions, and if nothing unexpected happens, Grand Duke Ferdinand may be away!
