It can be expected that even if Bavaria is really merged with part of the Kingdom of Austria despite all odds, then nominally, the status of his wife is still higher than his own, don't think that a country can only have one king, and don't think that a royal family can only produce one king. Austria-Hungary itself has a precedent in this matter!

And this precedent is the father and mother of Her Royal Highness Princess Mary! Daddy Fritz is the Emperor of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and King of Austria, while the eldest mother, Princess Sissi, is the titular Queen of Hungary! The fundamental reason why Fritz was able to suppress his wife was that the Austro-Hungarian Emperor and Princess Sisi were the nominal queen. But this thing cannot be applied to Prince Ruprecht!

First of all, even if in the end all interference was excluded, (including, but not only, the opposition of Prussia, the pressure within Austria-Hungary, the intervention of the Entente, etc.). The Kingdom of Bavaria successfully merged with parts of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. It is impossible to say that annexation is impossible, Bavaria is still too small. What Prussia could not do back then, Bavaria could not do either.

Then the situation in this kingdom is likely to be the case that Prince Ruprecht will be the king of Bavaria, and his wife, Princess Mary, will probably be crowned Queen of Austria. The Germans in Austria would rather accept a member of the Habsburg family as their king than a Bavarian, even though the member of the Habsburgs may be closer to the Bavarian crown by blood!

Well, the current situation is that there are two kings in this new kingdom at the same time, and this is not the most important thing, the important thing is that both kings have real power! Needless to say, Bavaria is absolutely the same, but at the same time, if the prince wants to expand his influence into the newly increased regions, then it is absolutely impossible without the help of his wife! After all, the Austrian nobles are definitely more likely to be loyal to Her Royal Highness than to themselves!

If you think about it a little more, the new kingdom will definitely have a parliament, and this parliament, according to German rules, may be based on the number of people in each region. (This is the case with the German Bundestag, but with at least one representative from each state) If this is the case, then Bavaria is a tragedy! This parliament is not up to the Wittelsbachers, it's the Habsburgs who have the final say! His wife's influence is greater than his own, can he bear this?

It's just a political issue, and it's even more chaotic if it comes to the economy, ethnicity, and other aspects. The Germans in Bavaria and the Germans in Austria thought differently, the Germans and the Czechs thought differently, and the two peoples and other minorities thought differently. Well, how much cohesion will this freak mixed with all kinds of things have, and how much authority the central government will have, then it is worth discussing! Anyway, His Royal Highness the Prince will never allow Bavaria to become another Austro-Hungarian Empire! Absolutely not!

If there is any hope that the situation will get better, then there is, and if the prince and princess themselves do not make any trouble, then the Germans are stable, and if the descendants inherit the throne directly, then it will be even better. The bloodlines of the two families are completely one. The nobles and high-ranking allegiances of the two countries became one. At least more than 20 million Germans can be integrated at the top. In this way, the contradictions within the nation will gradually give way to the contradictions between the nations, and the Germans, who have the advantage of the population, are likely to seize the dominance of the state. Then the cohesion will definitely be much stronger than that of Austria-Hungary.

Overall, the risks are huge and the difficulties are insurmountable, but the prospects are still good! Well, a little bit of a thought, looking at the big picture, if after the 1 war, the Prussian crown was weak enough, and Bavaria was able to annex a small part of Austrian territory. In other words, it is not nominally annexed to Bavaria, and it exists as an independent state, but if Princess Mary is the head, then it is okay.

Prussia would never want Austria, for the simple reason that a mere religious question would hurt him. And the Austrians who believe in Catholicism will naturally not get together with the Protestants, geographically speaking, if these regions after the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian Empire want to join Germany, then Bavaria is undoubtedly the best choice, no way, rely on the closest! And the Germans in the Sudetenland will probably be more inclined to Germany than to the Czechs, right? If the country still exists.

Although he is a little unwilling to have an arranged marriage, he is just unwilling. From the point of view of the Bavarian kingdom and family, the use of this politically charged marriage is enormous, both now and in the future.

From now on, the power of the Kingdom of Bavaria can enter the Austro-Hungarian Empire more conveniently, and can start from political, economic and military aspects to improve the country to some extent, these changes will not finally save this doomed empire, but make him stronger, at least better in World War 1! His Royal Highness the Prince was going to fight on the Eastern Front, and the only country on which the Eastern Front could be relied on was Austria-Hungary.

Helping Austria-Hungary train a relatively capable army would be of great significance to Bavaria and even Germany, and it would be great if some of the troops could be kept on their orders. Well, the more the prince thought about it, the more he realized that this marriage was not something difficult to accept. Except that this princess is more fierce, there are no other problems, at least there are common ideals and common pursuits.

"I need to confirm something, and even if the elders mean it, I need to get used to the process, we were originally just partners. Also, I think I'm still young, and it's a bit inappropriate to talk about it. In the end, the prince almost couldn't speak, 28 years old! Although the deity was married at the age of 30 in history, he is now an older unmarried man in 100 years!

"Absolutely, we had plenty of time to get to know each other. I think His Royal Highness will gradually change his opinion of me. Princess Mary said with some indifference.

"Sister, you are so strong, if there is a day, I really can't be sure whether the power is in the hands of the Bavarian crown or the Habsburgs. It's not that I'm too greedy for power, but because I don't think you're in control. The prince finally replied.

"Our Ruprecht didn't like strong partners, so it's no wonder that he has a lot of eyes on Ukrainian canaries." Princess Mary suddenly realized.
