"We will fight on the Western Front, and the German Emperor will not lose our benefits. So on the Eastern Front, why should His Majesty Fritz think that he can avoid this question?" the prince asked.

"Hold the grass!" Conrad still overestimated the prince's integrity, or thought the Habsburg royal sign was too useful? It was obvious that the prince planned to make a decision before talking. Faced with this situation, don't say that he had no choice, the Ao Emperor had no choice either!

"I can't answer you this question, His Royal Highness." Conrad was completely speechless. "You need to talk about this in Vienna."

"I'm not interested. I always think that the failure of this battle will make His Majesty the Austrian Emperor recognize the reality, but it seems that it is not yet. In my plan, Russian Poland will become the territory of the Allies this year, but how Germany and Austria will be divided will be a very interesting thing, right?" The prince seemed to be talking to himself, and said to someone. "Okay, I'm very busy. If it's a little bit of a little bit, you can discuss it with my Chief of General Staff."

Conrad's purpose in person to visit the prince was to let the prince station some of his troops in Galicia to help the Russian army defend, and at least to defend the protruding unit that was forming. But now it seems that the prince would rather give up the territory he obtained than disperse his troops. Conrad's plan has failed, and he can still analyze it from the prince's words that the Bavarian Legion will not cooperate with the Austro-Hungarian Legion in a short period of time. This result is a bit bad for Conrad, but now during the battle, it seems that there is still time to convince the prince?

"His Crown Prince rejected our suggestion. Their next attack will be launched in East Prussia." Conrad immediately reported this to Emperor Fritz after he returned. "We must do something to change the relationship between the two sides. His Crown Prince is no longer the commander of the Bavarian Legion, but he will also be the commander of Germany on the Eastern Front in the future."

"Some changes need to be made." Conrad, as a military strategist, did not understand the subtext of the prince's words, but as an emperor who had been in charge of the empire for decades, how could Fritz not know what Ruprecht was talking about?

Russian Poland is a big piece of fat. Both Germany and Austro-Hungary want to eat it, but whoever eats it needs to discuss. Although there will be some transfers between the two sides, in general, whoever fights will be responsible for it! What can't be obtained on the battlefield and the negotiating table. And the Austro-Hungary Empire paid a huge price to "hire" the Bavarian legion? Isn't it just for profit?

"We still have time, don't we?" Emperor Ao said to himself. "I hope our army can take over the protrusion that is currently forming, and we can make some concessions for personnel replenishment and material dispatch."

Just as Emperor Ao was about to further re-coordinate the relationship between the two parties, the prince finally met with his wife in Prague. After repelling the others, the two began to discuss other matters.

"Ruprecht, if I can, I hope the Bavarian Legion can launch an attack in Galicia rather than in East Prussia. After all, both in the Vienna court and in the front-line army, the tendency toward us will be dominant." Princess Mary said.

"Depending on the situation, you do have an advantage, but before His Majesty the Emperor announced, everything still has variables. Don't just limit your horizons to the palace and frontlines in Vienna. These are not big threats. Compared with these politicians, I think the tendency of division in the Austro-Hungarian Empire is more terrible. If a problem arises and the Bavarian Legion does not have enough power to suppress it, the entire Austro-Hungarian Empire will eventually be divided."

"The difficulty of this war is far beyond our imagination, so we must keep our core strength as much as possible in order to deal with internal and external blows. If we can achieve the same results at a smaller price, why don't we cooperate with the more reliable Markonson?"

In the prince's opinion, his wife's ambitions are still a bit big. Although the prince's existence has made the battlefield situation much better, the Habsburg royal family's control over the empire is really bad, and society will fall into turmoil due to the protracted war. Various nominal separatist organizations and even the army may turn against each other. What can the prince rely on at this time? Only the legion in his own hands! What's more, from a military perspective, Markensen is indeed more reliable than the Austro-Hungarian army. The same two teammates naturally cannot choose pig teammates.

"This battle cannot completely occupy Russian Poland. This time, all William can get is the part of the north that is close to Prussia, while the south will belong to the Austro-Hungarian Empire we inherited. In addition, I would like to remind you not to think that the overall situation is determined and there are too many variables in politics. Hungary may not like a strong Habsburg heir." said the prince.

To take a step back, even if there is no problem within the Austrian Kingdom, Hungary, as the one-dollar in the binary empire, would definitely not want Princess Mary to succeed. Because Princess Mary can also gain support from Bavaria in addition to Austria, then Hungary's status in the country will inevitably be suppressed. Therefore, Vienna may want a strong heir, but Budapest may not want it. So they may support Carl.

"We need to think more about the difficulties. The Austrians tend to be ours, but what are the attitudes of the Hungarians, Magyars, and Slavs? It is not good to be too free at this time. What we need during the war is stability, not only political stability, but also military. The Czechs are not so reliable. Our most firm basic base is Bavaria. For a kingdom with only 13 million people, our human resources are very limited. So I decided to launch an attack in East Prussia." The prince finally explained.

"So if, one day, Hungary wants to leave the empire, will you help me?" asked Princess Mary.

"If my army and I still have the strength to do and Austria can be stable, I will consider it." The prince gave an ambiguous answer, because the prince didn't know how much power he could have when internal conflicts broke out in the Austro-Hungarian Empire!

If that time really comes, although the entire Hungary cannot be kept in the empire, there will still be a chance to get more "family property" when the family is split!
