"The population of Bavaria is now just over 12 million, my father was a king, and he could not allow his people to lose too much in the war. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoWe will not have more than 500,000 troops on the battlefield one after another. Because in the future, Bavaria's military factories will supply not only its own army, but also the Prussian and Austro-Hungarian regiments, that is, the total number of our troops will be limited. ”

"So, the best way to cooperate is with Bavaria providing officers, training, equipment, money. The troops at the grassroots level are provided by your country, and it is clear that the closest to Bavaria, and the most convenient place for us to operate this is Bohmia, both of which are next to each other, and very close to each other, and very close to each other, and very close to each other, and to the people. As long as we have a government-given name, then all problems are not a problem! ”

"It's all Czechs, I think you have a lot of opinions about Czechs, right? You have always intended to build a pure-blooded German legion. Archduke Ferdinand said.

"Firstly, there were large numbers of Germans in the Sudetenland, and secondly, we chose Germans because of their nationality and loyalty. And if the Czechs can do that, I don't mind using the Czechs either. Also, how to build and use this army is my business, you don't have to care. ”

"We can even make a bet that in return for the help of the Bavarian Legion to Austria-Hungary, my wife, should receive the title of Grand Duchess of Bohemian-Moravia and the administration of the region. And if your army can face the Russian army alone and does not need the help of the Bavarian Corps, then we will give up our internal rights to the above two regions after the war. ”

"If the Austro-Hungarian government needs the Bavarian Legion to fight in Galicia or elsewhere, the previous agreement will continue, and your country will have to pay a different price depending on the campaign in which it participates. The risks and benefits are equal for both of us. How do you feel about everything that you can do? Prince Ruprecht said.

"But in any case, you have to control both places before and during the war, is that right?" Crown Prince Ferdinand said.

"We were responsible for the defense of Bohemia and Moravia at the same time, and I need to make it clear that the Bavarian Legion was not assigned to Austria-Hungary by the Kaiser, right? We are only a partnership and you have no right to order. And we also had to take on the task of the German defense zone, we trained the Austro-Hungarian army, financed it, but did not even have the right to command and use local resources. That's not appropriate, is it? "The prince will not give an inch.

Bringing these two regions under his control in wartime 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 an important base for soldiers, and at the beginning of the war, the Czech Legion occupied a very important place in the Austro-Hungarian Legion in terms of infantry alone! is an indispensable pillar.

First of all, from the point of view of infantry regiments, the Hungarians formed 41 infantry regiments, which are at the head of all ethnic groups. Leave it at ease. And the infantry regiment formed by the Czechs, with 16 regiments, was in second place. And the infantry regiment, which consisted of Austrian Germans, with 10 men, was in third place. The infantry regiment with six Moravians was in fourth place. All that remained were Croats, Slovenes, etc., as well as mixed regiments of some nationalities, that is, even according to history, Ruprecht could get at least 24 infantry regiments from Bohemia and Moravia. This greatly enriched the infantry of the Bavarian Legion.

And in addition to infantry regiments, Austria-Hungary also had chasseur battalions, and in addition to 24 infantry regiments, these two regions could provide 7 chasseur battalions, (5 in the Czech Republic and 2 in Moravia. There were only 6 German chasseur battalions in Austria and 8 in Hungary. With these forces in hand, the Bavarian Legion will be able to attack and defend with ease.

In terms of the population of the two places, the population of Bohemia is now 6.86 million, while the population of Moravia is much less, but it also has 2.666 million! (The above figures are historical population figures for 1913.) This population of nearly 9.5 million 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 certainly be much lower than in history, then without much loss stimulation, the Czech national independence will be suppressed, and this region is still relatively stable.

Of course, in terms of territorial area, the Bohemian region has 51,967 square kilometers. Moravia also has 22,231 square kilometers, and the two places together have 74,000 square kilometers. The area is almost comparable to that of the Kingdom of Bavaria. If you ask for more, something will 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 Army could gain more than 70,000 square kilometers of land for Austria-Hungary. All of Western Ukraine, part of Poland can be considered. If Romania is still as ignorant as it was in history, it would be fine to clean him up by the way. Of course, in the end, the prince's purpose was this, even if part of Hungary seceded from the Austro-Hungarian Empire, he and Princess Mary could still have a world-class power, thus completing the accumulation of power of the Wittelsbach family from kingdom to empire.

"The power can be delegated to you now, and you can prepare for war as you wish, Princess Mary will be the archduchess of Bohemia-Moravia, but I think the question of succession will need to be discussed some time after the war. As for the fact that apart from the war with the Russians, I don't think the Serbian side needs to think about it at all. We'll be able to get them done in no time. King Fritz said.

"So be it, I hope this appointment will come down as soon as possible, as for the work of the local government of Bohemia, we will do it, and sometimes money and communication can bring the other party to their knees more than Huairou." Prince Ruprecht said. This result is quite acceptable to the prince, as long as the other party delegates power before the war and allows himself to take over smoothly, then it is enough, because the Austro-Hungarian Legion is destined to be unable to defeat the Russians in World War 1, so in order to save this empire at that time, Fritz can agree to any conditions, and if nothing else, Archduke Ferdinand should probably be gone!
