Chapter 1715： Grand Duke and Little Mao Qiyi (1/2)
Chapter 1715 The Grand Duke and Little Maoqi 1
This is the third time that the Grand Duke of Baden has visited the German Western Base Camp in Brussels, the capital of Belgium in the past three months. When he looked at the little Maoqi who greeted him with a serious expression, the first grand prince of the German Empire and the in-laws of the Hohenzollern family felt a great deal of pressure. The time when the Kaiser met him was about 2 o'clock in the afternoon. But this time, he decided to come early, because Little Maoqi, Chief of the Imperial General Staff, wanted to talk to himself.
”What's your majesty's mood recently?” When the attendant left, only Little Moqi and Grand Duke Baden were left in the huge meeting room, the Grand Duke said with some worry.
”Very bad.” Xiao Maoqi's answer was very simple. ”We are probably going to experience the biggest internal conflict between Prussia and Bavaria since the establishment of the German Empire.”
”Really? It's bigger than Bavaria and Württemberg on the issue of the Kaiser-Kaiser?” Grand Duke Baden raised his eyebrows and said.
As the heir of the Baden family, the Grand Duke still knows all the dirty things in history. It was at the Battle of Sedan that the North German Union headed by Prussia won the battle of Sedan. The German army entered Paris, paraded on the Champs-Elysees, and at the Palace of Versailles. The coronation was held in the Hall of Mirrors. The Prussian and Hohenzollern families at that time were very energetic! However, at this time, the little brothers within the empire were blocking the boss, and the two sides were arguing over whether the title of the German Emperor was ”the German Emperor or the German Emperor”. Because in the eyes of the two kingdoms of Bavaria and Württemberg, the former title means that the German emperor has absolute leadership over other kingdoms, while the latter is a national concept that expresses the emperor of the German nation.
Thus, Prussia and the other two little brothers launched a fierce debate on this issue, and in the end the Kaiser gave up the title of German Emperor and used the latter. And this matter is not over yet. In the coronation ceremony of the Kaiser, there was no king-level person from the remaining three kingdoms. Even if outsiders didn’t say anything, everyone, including the Grand Duke of Baden, felt very unhappy. face.
Of course, all of this is just a matter of face, and it will pass if it has passed, but this time, I am afraid it is a problem of lining, not just forbearance.
”The situation is very bad. You should already know the specifics. Your Majesty is going to cut off Bavaria's territory in Poland in the name of establishing a new kingdom. This move caused a strong backlash from Bavaria, and they even handed over the land to To the Austro-Hungarian Empire!”
”As you know, the area controlled by Bavaria is not small, at least 40,000 square kilometers. This is at least the territory of a grand duchy. The Kaiser is very angry about this.” Little Mochi said.
”We can communicate with the Austro-Hungarian Empire through diplomatic channels and persuade them not to accept territory from Bavaria. After all, before, we had an agreement on the division of Russian Poland.” Grand Duke Baden said.
”However, the problem lies here. The actions of the Austrian Emperor show his support for Bavaria! His Majesty Fritz did not actively respond to the request of the Reich Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The Bavarian Army banned the Prussian army from entering the area and switched defenses with the Austro-Hungarian Empire. In progress.” Xiao Maoqi said worriedly.
”Fuck! What does this TM mean?!” After hearing the news, Grand Duke Baden only felt a rush of cold air from his tail bone to his forehead. The cold sweat came down. ”How can Fritz dare to do this? As a kingdom within the German Empire, Bavaria colluded with the Austro-Hungarian Empire against the central government?! Do Fritz and Ruprecht know what they are doing?”
