Chapter 421: Meeting the Ao Emperor

"If you take the train, you will get to Vienna faster and more comfortably. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 Fritz said with some complications as he looked at his future son-in-law. Regarding what the prince did, Emperor Ao thought that this was not only a show off, but also a statement. The train could have done it faster and better, but he had to organize a massive convoy from Munich to Vienna. It doesn't seem to be good either financially or temporally.

"Railways can't get anywhere." The prince's answer was vague. It's confusing.

"How did it feel along the way?" Emperor Ao asked.

"It felt a bit confusing, and I was able to distinguish between Germans, Hungarians, Czechs and Magyars on the road. It is a country full of various ethnic groups, all of which have not integrated with each other, but have retained their independence. The prince thought for a moment and said.

"And that independence can become very dangerous in certain situations, right?" Emperor Ao said. Of course, he knew what the prince implied, which was actually an allusion to the struggle between Austria and Hungary for imperial rights after the defeat of the Austro-Prussian War.

"Okay, don't beat around the bush, you just want to say, what do you want to do, and then what can you get?" King Fritz said with some dissatisfaction, after the end of the Austro-Prussian War, although Prussia also gave Austria-Hungary face, but it is undeniable that most of the German states were under the control of Prussia, and the glory of the Austro-Hungarian Empire became a thing of the past. But it is clear that the Bavarian prince in front of him does not seem to buy his account.

"Is it true that since the Austro-Hungarian Empire became a two-element empire, the Habsburg royal family's ability to rule has been greatly reduced, and now even Bohemia, the basic base of the royal family, is in trouble, and the current policy is largely aimed at appeasing the Bohemians?" Unmoved, the prince continued.

"What you say is true, you have ruthlessly exposed the scars of the Empire. Okay, tell me, what exactly do you want to do? Emperor Ao asked for the second time, and there was already a trace of anger in his words!

"Isn't an opportunity to reassert the authority of the central government of Austria-Hungary, an opportunity to reunite the Germans and Czechs under the royal banner?" The prince said with a smile.

"How did I not know there was such an opportunity?" Emperor Ao sneered.

"Is His Majesty the Emperor unwilling to avenge the revenge of Italy back then? Now there is an opportunity before our eyes, Wilhelm II is already planning to punish this disobedient fellow. The prince said.

"Although we hate Italy, we have no reason to deal with Italy in order to help Turkey, and there is no need to obey the Kaiser's arrangement, we are allies, but we are not vassals. No one will do this kind of thing that costs a lot of money and manpower and can't get enough benefits. I advise you not to do it either. This is not good for Bavaria, all the more so, although Italy is a weak country, it is not something that Bavaria can deal with. The Emperor refused.

"The effort is proportional to the return, Germany helped Austria-Hungary to contend with Russia in the Balkans, so in the case that Germany is not able to come forward directly, can't Austria-Hungary help teach a lesson to a certain old enemy? After so many years, has the Austro-Hungarian army still not come out of the shadow of defeat and dare not show its sword? The prince asked rhetorically.

"It is inconvenient for the German government to come forward, and it is equally inconvenient for the Austro-Hungarian government to come forward, and how can the question of military spending be solved? Turkey simply cannot afford the cost of our war. What's more, they won't be able to compensate them enough in the future! What does Turkey have? And what can it give us? ”

"Ruprecht, you will be the future king of Bavaria, my future son-in-law, as an elder, I need to remind you, don't act recklessly, especially in national affairs, with your character and temper, it is a miracle that you can do these things smoothly, but you can't always expect miracles to be with you, right?" The attitude of the Emperor is very resolute, at least from the current point of view, there is no room for maneuver!

"Your Majesty, whether Austria-Hungary will support this matter or not, I will proceed according to the plan, I persuade you, not only for our benefit, but also to give the empire a chance, but unfortunately, you don't want to, then I hope you don't regret it in the end." The prince said this before leaving.

"Your Majesty, this meeting does not seem pleasant." When Ruprecht was leaving, Archduke Ferdinand saw the prince with a gloomy face, and after a few words of conversation, he could feel the dissatisfaction in the other party's heart, needless to say, the future two must have quarreled, and then when they met the Emperor, the Grand Duke decided to ask tentatively.

"He's even tougher than Wilhelm II, he can be a good ally, but definitely not a suitable son-in-law." Fritz shook his head and said. "He's tougher than Bismarck."

"We relied on Germany in order to better realize the interests of Austria-Hungary, and we have always tried to make the German government understand the importance of Austria-Hungary to Germany, and Bismarck tried to avoid this when he was in office. By now, we can say that Germany has been kidnapped and asked to support our operations in the Balkans, but I did not expect that this time something would go wrong with Bavaria. They are too independent. ”

"Actually, it's okay to help the Turks, and Bavaria will give us some benefits." Archduke Ferdinand thought for a moment and said.

"So he's fit as a qualified ally, not an obedient son-in-law." Fritz stressed again.

"So what do we do now?" Archduke Ferdinand was not worried about the other party's cancellation of the marriage, because this marriage was politically and economically beneficial to both parties, and the slightest dispute would not affect the basic situation of both parties.

"If he wants to do it, I'm going to see what the results are. In addition, there should be the attitude of the Kaiser behind this, and I wonder what the relationship between Bavaria and Prussia is like now. Fritz thought for a moment and said.

"That's a way to do it. Let's wait and see what happens. Archduke Ferdinand thought for a moment and said.
