When Prince Liutpod heard this, his brows suddenly furrowed, and his cane hit the ground heavily. With a dull thud, the prince stood up with a cold snort in his throat, and then strode out quickly.
"Prince! Prince! Prince... what are you going to do? You can't just walk away without a care. His Majesty is not in Munich, and you want to leave now too? What should we do? What should we do about this war?"
"God! What's wrong with this country? It's such a mess. Isn't there even a person in charge? Why hasn't your Majesty come back from Swan Castle?"
A group of generals surrounded Prince Liutpod and wanted to stop him, but they never dared to take actual action with their outstretched hands. In that hierarchical society where superiority and inferiority were extremely obvious, the status of the king was transcendent, except for Ludwig II. Beyond this world, the entire kingdom respects him!
Seeing the prince's retreating back, everyone in the conference room was stunned. They never expected that the prince would give up his choice at the critical moment!
It is said that Prince Liutpod usually has the best relationship with the military. Many practical difficulties in army construction are solved by this prince himself. In the minds of ordinary soldiers, this prince's prestige is even higher. His Majesty the King.
The prince left, but the king was still in the Alps and had not returned. Without a backbone, these military ministers looked at each other with their heads drooped, and they looked at each other at a loss.
There is a huge map on the table, and the Coburg Fortress has been surrounded by war games! 12 war chess pieces representing the Prussian Legion were firmly standing outside the fortress. A hole had been pierced by this sharp dagger in the entire northern border of the kingdom!
How can I do? What should be done? Everyone is at a loss! A pessimistic mood permeated the conference room.
At this time, a young voice suddenly sounded from the corner, "Generals, I think everyone is a little too worried. I think this war will not start!"
When people turned around, they discovered that Alfred, the son of Prince Liutpod, spoke. This young man in his 20s came to the military conference room with his father, but he was even less present than his father. Feeling, he has been hiding in the corner, quietly watching everyone quarreling!
But after his father left, he did not leave. This was a great opportunity created by his father to win over the army. There were many things that his father could not say, but he did not have too many taboos. After all, young people are born with the ability to make mistakes. s right!
"Your Highness, what do you mean by this?" The generals heard something in the young man's words.
Alfred stood up, walked to the side of the huge map, and pointed at the territory of France. "Dear generals, maybe you don't know! Just yesterday afternoon, our Majesty met a man in Swan Castle. Guests from afar!"
"That was Napoleon III's secret envoy. It seems that our Majesty is going to have two boats. But it is a pity that he underestimated the intelligence capabilities of the Prussians!"
"You must know that Prussia's espionage capabilities are still very strong. As soon as the French emissary got on the train, the Prime Minister of Bismarck in the far north had already issued an order for military exercises. Isn't the connection between this very obvious?"
"So I can judge that this time Bismarck should use military means to put pressure on our Bavaria, just like they threatened our king during the Austro-Prussian War. Now Bismarck is going to repeat its old tricks again!"
The generals in the military headquarters suddenly exploded. "What did you say? Your Majesty, you received the French envoy! How is this possible? How could our Majesty do such an irrational behavior? Prussia and France have already arrived at this moment and are about to arrive." The situation is so sensitive, why does our king want to provoke Prussia?"
"Even if His Majesty wants to hear the French's conditions, he should keep it a secret. How can Bismarck get a handle on it!"
Alfred shrugged, "Maybe our Majesty underestimated the intelligence capabilities of the Prussians. As far as I know, the massive strike in Paris not long ago was because of the manipulation of Prussian spies." , which turned a demonstration into a bloody conflict!"
"If they can cause such a big riot in the heart of Napoleon III, then I think it's easy for them to find out the whereabouts of Napoleon III's secret envoy!"
The generals looked at each other. They had nothing to say at this moment. If what the prince said was true, then the development of the situation at this moment all depends on Ludwig II.
If the king could abandon France and stick to his alliance with Prussia, then the so-called 150,000-strong army would really be an acting force.
If the king is stubborn and still wants to play both sides, and even wants to join the French camp, then with Bismarck's temper, he will never condone such a betrayal. 150,000 troops plus 20,000 elite Guards divisions are enough to sweep the country. In northern Bavaria, there is no problem at all in annexing Nuremberg!
The veteran generals in the military were all confused. They looked at the young prince's confident look and thought about Prince Liutpod's silent look just now. Everyone felt like a mirror.
It seems that the prince wants to gain more connections and reputation for his son. It seems that the prince and his son want to take away all the rights that His Majesty lost due to the struggle!
Ludwig II really brought it upon himself to suffer! From the time he came to power until now, most of his energy has been focused on building his own little fairy tale kingdom. She likes literature, art and music, and occasionally pays attention to national affairs, but also focuses more on internal affairs.
An extremely violent group like the army was inherently inconsistent with the young king's aura, so for so many years in power, he did not establish a very close relationship with the top military generals.
Why was Prince Liutpod able to establish such high prestige in the military? In fact, it is closely related to the lazy politics of Ludwig II!
These senior generals of the military finally understood the truth behind the matter, and now their hearts finally calmed down a little.
"Prince, since you already know the crux of the matter, you and the prince should remind our Majesty! Even if he wants to hear the French's conditions, there is no need to come forward in person. He can just send a special envoy to meet with the French. How could he do these things himself? "
Note: This is the third update today. Thank you all book friends for your red envelope rewards!
Thanks to: Evening Drum and Morning Bell 012013989, Forgotten Back, Shooting the Wolf with Stars and Armor, Book Friends fvuqqo3l, Tricycle 464460620, Long Live the Heart, Qiantang Willow 0818, Book Friends p139cgry, I’m a Gentleman, Blame Me, Book Friends s1gxz56c, Hu Lian, Shui Shui Flowers in the Moon Mirror 409226393, Enjoy Life 130768373... waiting for the support of book friends.
There is no gentleman who does not support craftsmen, and this has been the case since ancient times! The food in the mouth and the clothes on the body of a craftsman are all nourished by a gentleman. It is precisely because of the gentleman that the craftsman persists in creating throughout his life and has countless works that can be passed down from generation to generation.
This principle has been passed down by the older generation. Many gentlemen in old Beijing and Shanghai understood this principle!
Mei Lanfang's "Boss Mei" was very popular in the Republic of China, and almost everyone who loves to listen to operas would not listen to "Boss Mei"! But among all the people in China who are listening to the opera, how many of them are spending money with Boss Mei? I'm afraid there is only one in ten thousand!
How is Boss Mei alive? It’s nothing more than relying on that gentleman who is one among all!
The benevolent gentleman was happy to hear this and gave him a reward. It was definitely a very honorable thing!
To put it more recently, Deyun Society's cross talk is considered very popular at the moment, but how many people actually went to the small theater to buy tickets for Guo Degang and Yu Qian to support it?
The same is true of being one in a million, but it is precisely these one-in-a-million gentlemen who can support a group of people, who can feed and clothe themselves throughout their lives to create, and only then can there be a continuous flow of jokes for people to listen to.
All reading friends, especially those who read pirated copies, please have a grateful heart, not to be grateful to me, but to be grateful to those gentlemen who are willing to spend money to support me!
You must understand that it is because of those one-in-a-thousand gentlemen who are spending money to support you that you can leisurely read books for free after dinner! There is only such a world where you can criticize and criticize like an uncle!
Be grateful! It doesn’t matter if you get into a fight with your wife or kids, if you get scolded by your boss, or if you curse someone and spread some evil anger, it doesn’t matter because you have a pure heart and a thick skin!
But please don’t scold and ridicule those benevolent gentlemen who praise you. You must understand that those book lovers who know that there are free books to read are still willing to spend money to praise them... They are not fools, they just understand that no gentleman can support a craftsman. Just an old rule!
You have to know that without the support of these people, these spiritual enjoyments would not exist at all! Especially Internet literature, which is a literary form that has emerged from the grassroots.
This is completely developed from the bottom of the civil society, but no country, unit, or organization pays these grassroots writers a basic salary, how much insurance and money do they have to pay!
We coders, every penny is raised by a gentleman!
So it’s okay to scold us, but please don’t attack these gentlemen who are only one in a million. People must be grateful! When you watch pirated copies for free, you have to think about the source. You have to think about the fact that these words did not appear out of thin air.
Someone has to work so that you can have these things to see!
Do you think this is true?
