The Rise of the Empire

Enough is enough, stop changing the subject, our precious time today should not be spent discussing an old man who has passed away. Pay attention to the core of my words, you can be the prime minister of Prussia or even the empire for a long time, without even being restricted by the relevant laws of the parliament. You can also serve as Governor of a Viceroy for a lifetime, and even pass the position on to your descendants. If conditions permit, a second state of the Hohenzollern family is possible. but....... "The crown prince's words gradually became aggressive, and then at the last moment, his words were interrupted by the opposite Prince Albert!

"Brother, you are the crown prince, I am a prince, and I am now the Governor of the Baltic Governorate. We are at a considerable distance from each other. You are justified, and you are closer to Berlin. You can use a telegram to let your father personally. Come forward to preside over the overall situation. What are you worried about?" Prince Albert asked back.

"What you say is very reasonable and objective, but I want to hear your thoughts. How do you position yourself for the future? Can we reproduce the rapport between our great-grandfather and Prime Minister Bismarck? Can you Give me a promise?" The crown prince was anxious and excited, he wanted to know his brother's answer.

"Father is still on the throne. Although you are the crown prince, this matter is not something we can discuss. My attitude is actually not important. Even discussing the throne and allegiance issues in public or private is a violation of the monarchy. provocation. Therefore, I have never considered being loyal to anyone other than the emperor now, and I will not guarantee certain people on the issue of imperial power. Your behavior will not only arouse the disgust of others and the suspicion of the superiors It doesn't make any sense other than that."

"Of course, if you talk about my attitude, there are some. At least I don't agree with many things you do in the Governorate of Poland. The birth of an emperor requires two points. The first point is legal recognition, and Another point is the recognition of the country and the people. You know, even the emperor can still be dismissed by the Federal Parliament. Our father was once threatened!" Prince Albert's tone revealed a trace of coldness and dissatisfied. He couldn't stand his narrow-minded and disadvantaged elder brother!

Does Prince Albert have expectations for the throne? It would be false to say that there is no such thing, but after touching many things personally, the prince finally understood the true meaning of an old proverb: if you wear a crown, you must bear its weight! Rights and duties are equal. Especially in the current German Empire, where the three pillars of the country stand together and the center is declining, if the Hohenzollern family wants to rise again, then this leader must be a capable person, rather than simply relying on blood or so-called legal principles High-ranking people!

In fact, the current Prince Albert's desire for the throne is weaker than before, because he has been directly exposed to more things, and Prince Albert realized what it means to be difficult! It is so strenuous to handle a governorship by yourself, let alone lead the entire Kingdom of Prussia, and even be the nominal head of state of the empire? This is not the time when his father became the emperor. Now, if he is a little careless, he may be doomed. Therefore, in Prince Albert's view, it doesn't really matter who will be the emperor in the future, but he must ensure that he can be a good one. He doesn't care much about whether he will be the emperor in the future.

But he cares about whether the rule of the Hohenzollern family will continue!

If the rule can continue, then I am also a governor-general at the last time. As for the bait thrown by the crown prince just now, apart from adding a new state, the others are actually not out of reach for the prince, so I accepted it. After the lower limit of his own future, Prince Albert has set his position very positively. I have to do things for ten years now, and I don’t care about other things. High-level political struggles have nothing to do with me. Anyway, Bavarian The crown prince said that his father could live another 20 years, and Albert chose to believe it!

Silence, long silence, the crown prince didn't get the answer he wanted, he was very angry, very angry at his younger brother's ambition and ignorance! He even thought that if he became emperor, he would throw this younger brother to a corner of Africa to become the governor! Yes, that's it, I never want to see him in my life! But after going through a lot of things, the crown prince has also grown. At least he knows that he can no longer struggle with this issue, because he can't do anything to his younger brother. He's thinking about how to end it.

"I can pretend that what happened just now didn't happen. Brother, I think we should quickly think about the situation in Turkey and the upcoming trip to Bavaria. If it is just a simple courtesy visit, our itinerary cannot take 3 Up to 4 days." In the end, Prince Albert chose to give a step by himself, and then guided the question to the aspect he wanted. When he learned that he was going to meet his brother, Prince Albert also prepared for a long time, because he had a hunch that this matter might not be simple, and it was not purely a military matter, so he thought a lot.

How should I put it, after having more contact with Crown Prince Ruprecht, he has not reached the level of the Crown Prince in politics and diplomacy. Because this requires talent, and the crown prince's talent stems from an abnormal situation called "crossing". But he has learned how to do things, which belongs to the kind of giving him one thing, he can do it well for you, and if you want to do things well, you must have the necessary vision. As far as a certain matter is concerned, the level of the current prince is actually higher than that of the Kaiser, because the Kaiser has never been meticulous enough to grasp a specific matter. The difficult tasks are left to Bavaria....

"You made this all up yourself?" the crown prince said, looking at the few pages of documents handed over by the prince. Originally, the crown prince just wanted to go through the motions. He is still very concerned about the issue of face, but now, when he sees that his younger brother has personally written more than 10 pages of documents, he is a little uneasy, because he has forgotten that he wrote the documents himself. When did such a long file happen. Isn't this all done by secretaries and typewriters?

Not to mention anything else, just looking at the handwriting, the crown prince thought that his younger brother spent at least 5 hours even trying to do it, and this was just an outline. Faced with such a serious person, the crown prince had to give a thumbs up to express his admiration. After all, as a superior, he is very generous to those who are capable!
