Chapter 654: Multi-party attention

Just last month, the Austro-Hungarian Prince Archduke Ferdinand came to Berlin, and the two sides will naturally mention the future war when they communicate, and when they mention the Eastern Front, they will naturally mention the prince and his Bavarian legion. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

"If the model of the Bavarian Corps does not meet our expectations of combat effectiveness, I would prefer to build the army according to the original model, which is at least safe." Austria-Hungary also had scruples, they wanted to get back the aid of the Germans, and they could spend it as much as they wanted. Instead of having one person in charge of it, even if this person is the emperor's son-in-law.

First of all, this is an order issued by the Kaiser himself, so that the prince is responsible for all the assistance activities of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and if he withdraws for no reason, the other party will definitely not be satisfied, and he has no excuse, because of Archduke Ferdinand's words, which caused the disagreement between the two states, it is obvious that it cannot be committed. And what if Ruprecht can really get some results?

Secondly, he doesn't trust Austria-Hungary very much, or he doesn't trust the execution ability of Austria-Hungary very much, his family is a hegemon, and the eldest and the second have a good relationship, and they can all kinds of ruffles, Austria-Hungary is now a double power, isn't this more powerful? Leaving all the funds to Austria-Hungary is clearly an inefficient approach. And if the Prussians were to be put in check, Austria-Hungary would certainly not want to.

However, although he did not express his position, the Kaiser was already planning to call the Bavarian Legion at this time, although Moltke and others also went to Bavaria to see it a few times, but after all, they all watched them direct and act by themselves.

And when Moltke's report was delivered, seeing that the funds that could feed 8 armies only feed 5 armies, the Kaiser finally couldn't help it, he must see what level the Bavarian Army is in this exercise, and where all those precious marks and dollars are spent!

When Moltke went back to replan this year's annual exercises, the Kaiser was not idle, and told Archduke Ferdinand about the preparation of the Bavarian Army to participate in the military exercises, after all, the latter also has the right to know, right? After this, he prepared to write letters to the Bavarian kings Ludwig III and Ruprecht to illustrate the problem. First of all, he explained that he had no malicious intentions, and in this way, it was to enhance the friendship and mutual understanding between the two armies, and finally that if the Kingdom of Bavaria behaved well, then the German government would increase the amount of dollar loans by a certain amount.

"Ruprecht is a very realistic person, everything he does is based on interests, if you can see this, then it will be easy to get along with him, he doesn't care about the pomp and circumstance of the nobility, he doesn't care about status, he is just looking for partners one by one." The Kaiser commented in his diary.

Then Wilhelm II was ready to arrange the personnel to contact Ruprecht, and the personnel of the German General Staff were naturally in charge of Moltke Jr., and this time the German royal family also planned to send people, the eldest Crown Prince Wilhelm was obviously not suitable, somewhat exceeded, and among the remaining sons, His Majesty the Emperor finally chose the third son, Prince Albert.

Wilhelm II was very efficient whenever he was interested in something, and in a short time he had already sent telegrams to Vienna and Munich, and the Prussian General Staff was quick to start planning, so now it was only left to wait and see the reply from all sides.

Archduke Ferdinand first got the letter, and then, naturally, his first reaction was to give it to His Majesty Fritz. However, when he walked into the study, he found a person that the Grand Duke did not want to see now. That is Her Royal Highness Princess Mary, the third daughter of His Majesty Fritz, the princess of Austria-Hungary who has just returned to the province, and the wife of Ruprecht.

"Hold the grass, what's the situation?!" Archduke Ferdinand's mind was a little messy. To be honest, the words I said to Wilhelm II in Berlin already meant a black shot in the back. And now, the effect of the black gun has appeared, and Wilhelm II is ready to weigh the Bavarian legion, and he came to the emperor with a telegram, just in time to meet the wife of the lord, what an embarrassing thing.

"The Kaiser is calling." Archduke Ferdinand delivered a telegram to the Emperor.

"The Kaiser wants to see the fighting power of the Bavarian Legion, and I just want to see if our son-in-law is still good." After reading the telegram, the Austrian Emperor first set the tone, that is, this matter was proposed by the Kaiser, at least on the surface, and everyone should not think about it, and don't make trouble for me if you think about it. Secondly, the Austrian Emperor also really wanted to see if the Bavarian Army was worth relying on.

"The temporary revision of the exercise plan is very unfriendly." Her Royal Highness Princess Mary said with a cold face.

"That's an internal matter in Germany, Your Highness the Princess." Archduke Ferdinand said with some embarrassment.

"The Kaiser will pay for this offense, but what about Austria-Hungary?" Princess Mary glanced at the Grand Duke and asked rhetorically.

"Will the Kaiser pay?" Archduke Ferdinand said in some surprise.

"Of course, whether this exercise will succeed depends on whether the Kingdom of Bavaria agrees, after all, time is already tight, and the scale of the transfer is large, and the Kingdom of Bavaria has ample excuses." Princess Mary said.

This matter, it's easy to say, in fact, the Kaiser and the Austrian Emperor are skeptical about Ruprecht's way of spending money and the effect of doing so, and want to test it, if it is a normal situation, there will not be so much trouble, but now, the Kaiser suddenly made a decision in the morning to revise the annual exercise plan, and let Bavaria and Prussia conduct an unlimited military exercise close to actual combat, which is very inappropriate in the eyes of many people, at least in the eyes of Princess Mary, this is a distrust and provocation of her husband!

"Your Royal Highness the Princess believes in your husband, and so do I, but you should be aware that we are under very strong pressure, and there are already a lot of opinions in the country, especially in the Hungarian parliament, and they think that there is something wrong with the way we distribute it, and we must take into account these opposing voices." Princess Mary's other identity is the Bavarian prince and concubine, and as an important ally and in-law of Austria-Hungary now, Archduke Ferdinand must also make a superficial explanation, and more importantly, the attitude of the Austrian emperor is not obvious. After all, Ruprecht was the son-in-law of King Fritz.

"If Ruprecht is right, I will give him more power and help, and he will definitely be satisfied, we are discussing the future of the empire, please put face and human sophistication on the back burner. Perhaps, Ruprecht is looking for a chance to prove himself. King Fritz said. I will go in person. ”
