Chapter 1542： Behind the compromise (1/2)
Chapter 1542 Behind the compromise (1)
”Forget it, let's not consider this issue, let's persuade Fritz to let the Bavarian Army share the frontline pressure.” The Kaiser decided not to consider this issue for the time being. He decided to start from the Austrian Emperor's side first, and at the same time to see what the Austrian Emperor wanted to achieve in this reform.
However, at this time, in the distant Bulgarian capital of Hagia Sophia, the prince was also thinking about the future in his study. The battle of the Eastern Front was about to end, and the decent end of the Western Front was not far away. It's time to consider the political situation within the future Allies.
Ruprecht would not feel dissatisfied and regretted because the Kaiser forcibly required the Bavarian Army not to participate in the internal conflicts in the Austro-Hungarian Empire, because before that, Ruprecht knew that the Kaiser would definitely not agree, and when necessary May take a radical approach.
Generally speaking, the Bavarian Army entered the Austro-Hungarian Empire to help the Austrian Emperor suppress Hungary, and then exchanged for Slovakia is a pretense to retreat! If the prince directly proposes the right of inheritance, the Kaiser will definitely oppose it, because the latter already has the idea of suppressing Bavaria. At this time, together with the Austrian emperor, after proposing this pretense and then retreating, it is politically based. For the principle of compromise, the Kaiser must also make certain concessions.
This is actually a psychological game. Ruprecht knows the bottom line of the Kaiser very well, so he believes that as long as the Kaiser considers it, he will definitely not use radical methods. After all, the two sides will continue to cooperate. In this way, the prince will at least get The Czech Republic of the future!
Although Ruprecht's idea is to control the power of an empire and a kingdom at the same time, he intends to make Princess Mary the Queen Mary. However, he must also leave a way for himself, a way, and if his wife cannot wait for the throne, he must also guarantee the interests of the Kingdom of Bavaria. Therefore, he chose to completely pinch Bohemia and Moravia in his own hands.
The specific method, as the German emperor had expected, was to turn Bohemia-Moravia into a grand duchy, so as to ensure politically that the future Austrian emperor would not be able to intervene in the formation of leaders of the region.
As for the fact that the Bavarian Army does not directly participate in the political turmoil within the Austro-Hungarian Empire, will it have bad consequences? Need to ask? The lack of a thug who can really hold the ground at the critical moment will definitely have an impact, but this is also in the calculation of the prince.
Simply looking at the current situation, the social production in Austria in the Austro-Hungarian Empire is still stable, the morale of the army is also very high, and Austria's power accounts for about 70% of the entire Austro-Hungarian Empire! Therefore, stabilizing Austria is equivalent to stabilizing the entire Austro-Hungarian fundamentals. Even the civil strife in Hungary had a limited impact on the overall war situation of the Allies.
Of course, in the absence of sufficient strength, the Austrian emperor may not be able to make Hungary surrender for a long time, and Hungary may also fall into civil strife because of weakness. But here comes the question. Does this kind of civil strife help the prince?
