The Rise of the Empire

"Our plan and consumption are prepared according to the 3-month war. If there are some accidents that prevent us from withdrawing our troops from Turkey within 3 months, then the Prussian Federation will provide military expenditures for another 2 months at most. ’” Buhler said at the end of the talks.

"Maximum 5 months? I think it is enough." The Kaiser said. In fact, without using the central finance or using the parliament to pass a new appropriation resolution, the finances of the Kingdom of Prussia are enough to spend 7 times in Turkey. of the month. In fact, if you want to end this war with as little impact on domestic economic life as possible, you need a quick solution. If Bavaria relies on its own strength to carry out this war, the time is best Do not exceed 8 months.

"If there are no other questions, as long as we finalize some details, we can proceed with the deployment, right? My eldest son will go to Munich and Bavaria for a handover within ten days. If it is convenient for you, will you go with me?" De asked the emperor.

"Sorry, we think it would be better to clarify our position to Bavaria alone on this matter. Of course, in order to show the cooperative relationship between each other, we will also send people to go together." Buhler replied. Although the Social Democratic Party is very sincere this time, sincerity does not mean that there is no defense or backup. If everything goes well, then it goes without saying, and vote with the Kaiser. If it doesn’t go well, then there is room for maneuver in the future. isn't it? Besides, the Social Democrats don't want to give others the impression that they are following the Kaiser.

"They are still vacillating." Looking at Buhler who left, the crown prince said.

"It's normal to be uncertain. Now, there are very few forces we can really rely on in the entire German Empire. Cherish every loyal deployment around you, treat your family well, and the Hohenzollern family will return to its peak. Do you understand what I mean?" said the Kaiser to the Crown Prince.

"I will have a good chat with Albert," said the crown prince.

After the talks, everything went according to the Kaiser's established plan. On the second day after the talks, Berlin sent a note to Bavaria, expressing its willingness to take over Middle East affairs, and emphasized in the note that Berlin would respect Bavaria's role in the Middle East. All rights and interests, the previous agreement signed with the Turkish government will be fulfilled, and the cost of Bavaria in the Middle East will be compensated to a certain extent, and after the war, the investment and commercial activities of the Kingdom of Bavaria in Turkey will not restricted. Before sending this note, the Kaiser was worried that at the last minute, Bavaria would repent. However, what he did not expect was that the crown prince expressed his willingness to hand over the relevant work and negotiate with the Austro-Hungarian Empire on some matters.

When the Kaiser received the reply from Bavaria, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. All preparations were put on the right track immediately, the army began to assemble, equipment and supplies began to be raised, and the General Staff of the Kingdom of Prussia began to operate at high speed to prepare for this war. The diplomatic department also began to contact the Austro-Hungarian Empire and Turkey,

Pave the way for the upcoming military operations.

Five days after the meeting ended, the Prussian Federation also began to prepare for war. According to the agreement, they will dispatch 50,000 troops this time, including 40,000 front-line troops. The former army colonel has also returned to his long-absenced army. This time, he will serve as the commander-in-chief sent by the parliament on the front line. The imperial navy also began to mobilize, and all warships performing training missions overseas were ordered to go to the ports of the Austro-Hungarian Empire in the Mediterranean for replenishment and maintenance, and then directly await orders.

A week after the meeting, the final joint action plan was released. The Kaiser himself was in charge of the overall command, Moltke was in charge of military scheduling, and the crown prince was in charge of work such as politics, diplomacy, and personnel. The crown prince will remain in Berlin during the war.

Prince Albert really failed to return to Berlin within 7 days. On the eighth day, the governor of the Baltic Governor-General of the Kingdom of Prussia came to see his father in the Sanssouci Palace. The itinerary for Bavaria ahead was set at 2 Days later, they will be in Bavaria for 4 days to take care of things. However, before dealing with these matters, Prince Albert needs to talk to his brother first.

"We haven't seen each other for a long time. From the end of the war to now, for more than 2 years, it is the first time that we have communicated alone like this. You and me, just the two of us, no one else. So, I think We can talk a little bit more." After a brief silence, Crown Prince William, the initiator of the talks, spoke first.

"So what's today's topic? Is it about the current domestic political situation, the upcoming Turkish war? Or the imminent visit to Bavaria?" Prince Albert asked, having experienced too many things and dealing with too many things at the same time. The prince of things gives people a capable and pragmatic feeling. He said almost all the issues that may need to be discussed at present, except the issue of rights that is most hotly discussed by outsiders.

"You are very pragmatic, and you have done a lot of things. When I first went to the Governor-General of Poland, you helped my father deal with domestic and foreign affairs in Berlin. Then you went to the Governor-General of the Baltic Sea. From the information I collected, you can see what you did Very good, you are a very few governors, and you are much better than my group in many aspects. In the future, you are likely to go further and become the prime minister of Prussia and even the entire empire, and you may even surpass Bismarck." The crown prince Said.

"It is difficult for me to surpass Prince Bismarck. He is the prime minister of the Kingdom of Prussia and the pinnacle of imperial politics. He is as great as Metternich after the Napoleonic Wars, and even stronger than him!" Prince Albert said.

"Prince Bismarck? You seem to have a lot of respect for him. I remember that you were not like this before. Even a few years ago, when we discussed him, we only regarded him as a senior. That's all, and from your performance today Come and see, you regard him as a sage." The crown prince said.

"Yes, at least he completed the unification of the German Empire, he established the earliest social security system, he allowed the empire to have both sides in the diplomatic arena, and during his tenure, the empire was unprecedentedly strong. And when he was in office, he could compare Effectively check and balance Bavaria. Ensure the balance between the center and the south." Prince Albert said.
