Chapter 2630 Domestic and Abroad

"Isn't this not good? This is a very bad signal that will lead to misjudgment by the outside world." The Grand Duke of Baden was shocked. He had already thought that if the crown prince wanted to quell the different opinions within the empire, he would definitely conflict with the crown prince, but he did not expect that the crown prince would use such a radical method! The heir to the Kingdom of Bavaria and the real powerful people invited Prince Albert and treated him with high standards. This shows Bavaria's tendency in the issue of imperial power in the future! The attitude of the Kingdom of Bavaria is more important than a large number of principalities and princes combined! The crown prince may not mind having a politically charged quarrel with Bavaria, but it is impossible for him not to care about something like this that directly points to imperial power!

However, the most important thing is that the crown prince cannot do anything to Bavaria! What can you do to the crown prince? Is it not illegal to invite a prince? Even the Kaiser would not object, because on the Turkish issue, the Kaiser and the Crown Prince actually had a tacit understanding. The Crown Prince did this just to give the Crown Prince a slap in the face and let him know what to say and what not to say. In fact, not only now, if nothing unexpected happens, the crown prince will not have any idea about Prussia's inheritance rights in 10 years, because William II can live for 20 years!

Of course, the fun of politics is that those who actually operate it may not have many ideas, but people outside the circle will have very complex and even inexplicable ideas. This will inevitably affect the situation to a certain extent, and as the superior, he needs to guide this chaos or speculation at the appropriate time! The Crown Prince did not want to have an irreconcilable quarrel with the Crown Prince over such a matter, so Ruprecht then said to the Prince of Baden.

"If, after my meeting with Prince Albert, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince behaves better, then you can tell the Crown Prince that General Kariput will not appear in the list of personnel sent to Turkey. That's it."

"Huh?! Your political skills are as mature and terrifying as your military skills." The Grand Duke of Baden said after thinking for a moment. If Prince Albert was accompanied by a Bavarian general when he went on a mission to Turkey, then the standard would be quite high. It can even be said that to a certain extent, Prince Albert's actions have been endorsed by Bavaria, and even this endorsement Maybe military too! After all, as Bavaria becomes more powerful within the empire, in addition to having embassies in certain countries, Bavaria now also has limited external military rights! This is no joke. Bavaria's current statement about challenging France is a bit false, but there is no problem in putting pressure on Turkey casually!

And if the crown prince chooses to retreat, then the crown prince can naturally give him face. Bavaria will not send official senior officials. In this case, everyone can talk and part ways easily, and each other's face is taken care of. Through this method, the crown prince solves domestic problems first. Compared with international problems, the crown prince is the best to deal with!

"What about U.S. actions in Turkey?" asked the Prince of Baden.

"Before, we didn't have a good solution, but now, we have it!" The crown prince waved the battle report in his hand. "The Americans suffered a big loss in the recently concluded battle, and the protracted war in the Pacific is inevitable.

The navy is a game that requires accumulation. They are different from the army, so this gives us an advantage in diplomacy! If nothing else happens, Americans will come to Germany soon, and I will be responsible for turning this advantage into practical benefits. "The crown prince said.

"Using military assistance in exchange for US concessions in the Mesopotamia?" Prince Baden asked.

"So, let's use military assistance in exchange for the United States not interfering in Turkish issues." the crown prince said.

"So what if the U.S. and Turkish governments choose to act behind the scenes?" the prince asked.

"We will do the same. In international relations, it is normal for both sides to use small means behind the scenes. In fact, I don't mind that the Americans provide money and weapons to Turkey, because this cannot fundamentally turn Turkey into a powerful country. I really don't mind. What is important is that the United States helps Turkey establish a complete industrial system independent of us. If this is the case, then it is really troublesome, and as long as this large-scale behavior can be stopped, then I don’t mind Turkey accepting the benefits from the Americans. The Arabian Peninsula, Mesopotamia and North Africa have fallen into the quagmire of wars one after another," the crown prince said.

"What about France and Italy? How do you prevent the United States from getting closer to these two countries?" asked the Prince of Baden.

"Actually, from the current point of view, the United States' aid to France is at a disadvantage. Because the United States does not need French things, American industry is stronger than France, and the French equipment is far inferior to ours, and it is also incompatible with Americans. The United States The government now only chooses to support the French for political needs. Now, the United States is in a state of war and its domestic financial pressure is relatively high. So generally speaking, the French think that what the Americans give is far from enough. The relationship between the two parties has gone further, but the Americans feel that the price charged by the French is too high. Do you understand what I mean?" the crown prince asked.

"But if this situation continues, it will be detrimental to the empire, because we need to get the French to gradually side with us." The Grand Duke of Baden said.

"Yes, we do have to use various means to destroy the relationship between the United States and France. We must make the French realize that they have a future by following us! Note that the root of this idea is not simply because of the empire's military power. With help, but also because France can do better by following Germany! We need to show goodwill to France at this time!" said the Crown Prince.

"We also provide loans to the French? This is not financially realistic." The prince said somewhat depressedly.

"Loan? No, no, no. We can't give this, and it's impossible to give free financial aid to the French now. I mean other things, we can do things that Americans can't, for example, The Imperial Foreign Ministry can immediately issue a statement stating that the German Imperial Government is determined to support the security of France's colonies in Southeast Asia. The wording can be harsher, even if it threatens war, it doesn't matter, because we are now at war with the Japanese. The attitude must be Resolute! It reflects the confidence and strength of the empire!" Ruprecht said with a smile.
