"If Bavaria at the time of the Austro-Prussian War had been as strong as it is now, the capital of the German Empire would have been in Vienna and not in Berlin!" Old Fritz looked at the battle report sent by his subordinates with satisfaction, this time the Bavarian Army fought too amazingly, and the German army, the world's first army, actually held out for two days when it was superior in numbers! This result really surprised the Emperor, and of course, more importantly, he was excited!

"The Bavarian Legion is really strong in combat, but Prince Ruprecht is not a suitable person to associate with, and it is difficult for us to control him. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info" Archduke Ferdinand said with a slight frown.

"Huh? Are you still thinking about this? Even our internal Hungary needs to be dominated by a policy of softness, and we need to make huge concessions to the Czechs, and you still want to control the Bavarian Legion outside the imperial territory? There was a hint of sarcasm in Emperor Ao's words.

"The Austro-Hungarian Legion was overwhelmingly superior in strength on the Eastern Front, and the Bavarian Legion was only subordinate, and they wanted to dominate. And I am very dissatisfied with some of the activities of Bavaria in Austria-Hungary, which are so frequent and deeper than normal in Bohemia and Upper and Lower Austria, especially in Bohemia and Moravia, where Bavarian influence has penetrated into all directions. This is very bad for the Empire. ”

Archduke Ferdinand, perhaps unaware of the change in the Emperor's attitude, decided to vent his frustration. For a future king, Ferdinand's desire for power and control was no less than that of the Kaiser, but the situation in the Austro-Hungarian Empire made him feel very tricky, not to mention that the Hungarian government was working against the empire for three days, and the Slavs and Czechs within the empire were not easy to deal with.

And at this time, Princess Mary, who had already married out and became the princess of Bavaria, still had to meddle in the affairs of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. With the support of the Bavarian royal family, and with the help of money and technology, Princess Mary's influence in Austria, especially in Bohemia and Moravia, skyrocketed!

First of all, in politics, through the help of the Germans, Princess Marie gained the recognition of the Germans in the Czech government. Through economic and industrial cooperation, Princess Mary gained the understanding of the Czech elite and the nobility. The latter were not hostile to Princess Mary because of the increase in the Prussians in the local government of Bohasia, but, on the contrary, attracted by the Kinmark, they turned into suppliers and downstream enterprises of the Bavarian factories one by one.

And in recent years, the Bavarian royal family and Princess Mary have gone even further! With the bribery of the top and the Bavarian royal family's stake in Skoda, it is only natural that the Bommian army will be equipped with Bavarian weapons. And the Czechs at the top who benefited from the economy did not mind making some concessions on the personnel arrangements of the army.

As for the folk? Archduke Ferdinand had to give a thumbs up to Prince Ruprecht's methods, this guy really has a knack for dealing with Czech nationalists! It can even be said that since Bavaria's economic and commercial exchanges with Bohemia and Moravia are already very close, the Czechs, who are already in a disadvantaged and cooperative position in the industrial structure, naturally want to get closer to Bavaria if they want to make more money, they need to learn basic German, and then establish closer economic ties with Bavaria and Germany, and in order to protect their own interests, they naturally throw aside those spiritual nationalisms. Invisibly, Bavaria greatly curbed the development of Czech nationalism by both soft and hard methods.

However, the result is that the influence of Princess Mary and the Bavaria behind him in the above regions has become impossible to ignore, this time when Ruprecht proposed to provide funds to Austria-Hungary, and then put a legion under the command of Bavaria, the local military governor of Bohemia actually supported this opinion very much, and put forward very good reasons, first, the equipment of both sides is a system to facilitate logistics and supply. Secondly, the Bavarian officer corps is of high quality. Third, the two sides are close enough to help each other!

Crown Prince Ferdinand, of course, wilted, and he wanted to ask, are you the army of Austria-Hungary or the army of the Kingdom of Bavaria? If it weren't for the fact that Emperor Fritz next to him did not make a statement, he would have even wanted to kick this guy from the Czech local army out of the army on the spot.

What makes Ferdinand even more unbearable is that Emperor Fritz doesn't seem to care about this, and is almost resigned to the expansion of this influence, and today, the crown prince, who can't hold back, is ready to give a secret to the old emperor to see what the other party plans to do?

"Even if Bavaria's power is doubled, do you think the Kingdom of Bavaria can replace Prussia? Or can it replace Austria? Emperor Ao asked.

"It's impossible. You're kidding. Crown Prince Ferdinand said with a somewhat abnormal expression.

"That's terrible, what are you afraid of? Actually, even if Bavaria had this idea, it didn't matter, Wilhelm II could find several letters on his desk every year accusing Bavaria of having the intention of splitting Germany, have you seen Wilhelm II sort of this? (There have been many such complaints in history, but basically no one has paid attention to them.) ）

"Let me tell you, Bavaria is the first kingdom in the Allied system in the end, he can't become an empire, as long as he has a little action, neither Prussia nor Austria will allow it. Bavaria is too small and has too little population. ”

"So why are they still infiltrating Bohemia and Moravia? This behavior has gone beyond the boundaries of a kingdom! Ferdinand was confused, in his opinion, this kind of foreign affairs is really no different from treason!

"Don't tell me, it's really nothing. The Kingdom of Bavaria has embassies abroad in a number of countries. People already have a certain degree of diplomatic rights, and the Kaiser didn't say anything. ”

"As for why you say why we have to tolerate it, you haven't thought about what price you need to pay to hire a country with nearly 300,000 troops to fight for you?!" Emperor Ao asked rhetorically.

"We hire them to fight?!" Crown Prince Ferdinand said.

"That's right, it's hiring. With that out of the way, let's move on to the rest. Emperor Ao said.
