The Rise of the Empire

"This scene is a bit big." When Prince Ruprecht came to the silverware hall of the Hofburg to participate in the welcome ceremony of his future princess, Her Royal Highness Princess Mary, he also faced the huge lineup opposite. Somewhat unexpectedly, the prince really did not expect that his future wife would be able to gather so many people around him in less than a year. Compared with the obedient princesses of the Austro-Hungarian Empire in history, Princess Mary of this plane really has the potential to be a queen! \u003c/p\u003eThe prince first glanced at the accompanying personnel. Countess Laura and Marquis Audrin are old acquaintances. Their arrival is expected. The representative of Skoda has also met twice. They are just small characters, and the other two groups of military representatives are also military-level commanders on the surface. Although there are many people, their specifications are not too high. \u003c/p\u003eBut when the accompanying person mentioned Kevis and Offenberg to the prince, the prince was obviously a little surprised, because as a traveler, he still had an impression of these two names. If it is wrong, Kervis should be the commander of the Austro-Hungarian Kervis Army after the outbreak of World War I, and Auffenberg should be the commander of the Fourth Army! Princess Mary actually pulled the two future army commanders over like this, which was really beyond the prince's expectation! These two are potential stocks! \u003c/p\u003e "Rupprecht, I hope you like this welcome ceremony, compared to the fact that you have experienced too many formal occasions during this trip to the Mediterranean, so this time I will let you relax in the form of a reception. "Her Royal Highness Princess Mary in a gown, accompanied by Laura, stepped forward and said softly. \u003c/p\u003e"Your Highness, this arrangement of yours has made me even more nervous." The prince whispered close to Mary's ear, "Isn't this too ostentatious?"\u003c/p\u003e "Swagger?" Princess Mary smiled slightly . "This is the Austro-Hungarian Empire, not Germany. In Germany, as the successor of Bavaria, you have to consider the Kaiser's attitude, but here, in Austria, as a person who is about to marry and can bring huge benefits to the royal family." Princess, I won't have any negative effects by doing this. In order to increase my influence in Bavaria in the future, my father and Ferdinand wish to make the momentum bigger."\u003c/p\u003e "Let your people relax Come on, let's talk about our own affairs." The princess took the initiative to hold the prince's arm, and then walked to a side hall. Countess Laura is in charge of things in the hall. \u003c/p\u003e"How does it feel? Isn't it shocking? Ruprecht knows? After I decided to be your wife, I have been working hard, working hard for our future and for South Germany! We can't let the war Destroy our future, our family and our kingdom!" When there were only two people left in the room, Princess Mary was a little excited and told her closest people what she couldn't say for outsiders. \u003c/p\u003e"Remember what I told you? My dowry will be an empire! If the Austro-Hungarian Empire is doomed, then I hope we can re-establish our own kingdom on this crumbling enemy country! The Habsburg royal family and the Wittelsbach royal family will be integrated!"\u003c/p\u003e "And you are preparing for this integration now? Are you going to truly integrate Bavaria and Austria?" The prince heard this First I was taken aback! Because he didn't expect that, in his opinion, it was just a joke, and his future princess would really work hard in this regard. \u003c/p\u003e"Of course, you said that the Austro-Hungarian Empire will inevitably collapse, and we are running out of time. Naturally, we have to race against time. No matter whether the difficulties come from home or abroad, neither Prussia nor Austria can stop our plan , Ruprecht, are you willing to be subservient to Prussia forever? This is very different from what you have done.

"The princess said a little excitedly.\u003c/p\u003e"I want to improve Bavaria's status in the German League, but if we want to change from quantitative to qualitative, from the second largest kingdom in Germany to a big country comparable to Prussia, we Prussia's power is far from enough. Prussia's economy is about four times that of ours, and its military strength is almost the same. As for the merger of Austria and Bavaria, it is not feasible. At least for now. "The prince said calmly, trying to convince the "too courageous" Princess Mary.\u003c/p\u003e "Are you worried that Bavaria will be annexed by Austria?" Or worry about future dominance? is that so? A sneer appeared on the corner of Princess Mary's mouth. "Man, you really can't be powerless for a day!" "\u003c/p\u003e" has nothing to do with this! A dual system empire itself is not stable, such as Austria-Hungary, and Bismarck also excluded Austria from the German system for this reason. 4 times bigger country! What's more, on the issue of succession, there are too many people ahead of you, whether it is the current Ferdinand, Karl or others. You can't take over a kingdom. "The prince found that the people in front of him were a little paranoid.\u003c/p\u003e"These are not problems. The nobles and the people will only follow the real strong. You are a strong, but it is a pity that you did not realize that you How influential is it! If the Austro-Hungarian Empire is really about to collapse, then only Bavaria, which is the closest to Austria, can control the situation. In order to ensure that Austria's resources can continue to be used on the battlefield, the Kaiser will even ask the Kingdom of Bavaria to stabilize the situation in Austria as soon as possible. There is a lot of space to operate, and there are people in the kingdom who support you! "What's more, do you think that if the Austro-Hungarian Empire collapses and the German Empire survives World War I and acquires a large territory in the east, do you think Bavaria can maintain its current status?" "Princess Mary showed a rare mocking expression on her face.\u003c/p\u003e"You are wrong. If Germany fails, you will certainly lose the throne, but if Germany wins completely and Bavaria does not make great progress, then The Kingdom of Bavaria will not have a better time either. It is certain that its status will be lower than it is now, and even various independent rights will be weakened! "Princess Mary said every word.\u003c/p\u003e" This shouldn't be. Hearing this sentence, the prince was a little embarrassed. He really couldn't imagine that if Germany wins, what harm will it do to Bavaria?\u003c/p\u003eThe second one is here~~~!
