Chapter 1882: Gather people in groups and divide into three groups (1/2)
”Unexpectedly.” The Grand Duke said in his heart that the Russian Polish region is relatively developed, and it is relatively close to the German mainland, which is naturally a popular product, while the Russian hinterland is a bit worse than the Polish region, and the distance is far, but it can be divided into territories. There are many. If you don’t choose a place, Württemberg should be able to divide the territory area not less than the mainland. As for the Transcaucasian region, the most valuable oil field is the oil field. In this regard, it seems that Bavaria can share the profit but will not hand over management. In addition, a large number of troops are needed. How many troops are there in Württemberg? This is a game of great powers, obviously not something Wurttemberg can easily participate in.
”It's not in a hurry, your Excellency, we still have enough events to think about this issue. I hope that the Grand Duchy of Württemberg can continue our traditional friendship between the three countries of South Germany.” Auguste III said. ”If you don't mind, I still have something to do, leave it first.”
”You are at your disposal, and in addition, please convey to the King and Crown Prince of Bavaria the gratitude of the Kingdom of Württemberg for the assistance of the Kingdom of Bavaria on your behalf. We will continue to unite for our common interests.” Grand Duke Albrecht said .
While the representatives of the two kingdoms of Württemberg and Saxony were communicating, in another room, the Grand Duke of Baden, Prince Albert of Prussia, and Grand Duke Friedrich of Oldenburg were also discussing how to In response to this meeting, Prussia and the two Grand Duchy constituted the core force of the Kaiser faction. They also have their own demands.
”I would like to ask a question now. In this meeting, is the Kingdom of Bavaria our friend or our enemy? Or is it just a neutral character?” Prince Friedrich asked.
”It's hard to say. In fact, we are still uncertain about the attitude of Bavaria so far. Before the incident, Crown Prince Ruprecht reminded us to strengthen the management of supplies to deal with unexpected events, but now? They have not accepted us. According to the opinion, Bavaria seems to keep weakening our attitude and help the parliament in certain matters.” Grand Duke Baden said.
”But even if Bavaria is not friendly, we still can't take revenge, is that right?” Prince Friedrich asked.
”That's the case. This meeting will only solve the problem of sharing the interests of other states except Prussia. The new territory assigned to Prussia will belong to us and the parliament in the future. However, the specific division is still full of variables. Therefore, we cannot target Bavaria at this time.” Grand Duke Baden said.
”So who are our allies this time? What are the attitudes of others?” Friedrich asked.
”As for you and me in the Grand Duchy, the Grand Duchy of Hesse and the two Mecklenburg Duchys tend to be Bavaria, and the Saxony-Weimar attitude is unclear, but it seems that they have reached some tacit agreement with the parliament. As for the other small states , They are more to follow the trend. The parliamentarians may get the support of the three free cities and the Alsace-Lorraine region. Generally speaking, we are evenly matched with the parliamentarians, but not as good as Bavaria.” Grand Duke Baden thought for a while and said .
”This time, after all, it's a cake distribution event, don't the Grand Duchy of Baden have any ideas?” Friedrich asked.
”What we want is the area around Vilnius (located on the border between Lithuania and Belarus in later generations), obtained from the area controlled by His Majesty the Emperor, with an area of about 30,000 square kilometers. I intend to call it the Second Baden. .” Grand Duke Baden said proudly.
