2549 Brother and sister battle
"Sister, what's wrong with you? Why do you turn to the topic of war today? We siblings haven't seen each other for more than two years, why don't you say anything happy?"
"Happy! How do you make me happy? The French-Popular War is right in front of you. Are you ready in Bavaria? What should you do in the face of this war? Should you participate in the war or not? How are your intelligence prepared? How much funds have you made for the preparations? Can the people mobilize?"
"The simplest thing is, how much food did you store for wartime needs? These questions are all practical national affairs. If you don't consider these things, why do you always consider these useless statues and paintings?"
"But, but... but intelligence from multiple parties shows that this war cannot be fought at all?" Ludwig II said aggrievedly.
"Sister, don't treat me as an incompetent monarch. I have to spend more than six hours every day to deal with national affairs. I have to read the information in France and Prussia."
"Although Prussia is very fierce now, they will definitely not dare to do it! The Prussian envoys sent to Paris by Pesme are very polite to Napoleon III."
"As far as I know, the final result of the succession of the Spanish throne must be Prussia's abstention! What Bersmese is doing now is just bluffing to add a little more bargaining chip to the negotiations between himself and France!"
"Prussia just fought the Prussia War and the Prussian-Austria War. Isn't it enough for them to brag about two consecutive victories? At this time, they should settle down and vigorously develop their industrial strength."
"The guys in Berlin are not stupid. Of course they can see the gap between the comprehensive national strength. Once a war breaks out, they will not fight for the passion, but money and materials, and the foundation of the two countries. In this regard, Prussia is simply not as good as France."
"So I judge that this war will not happen at all. Even if there are, it will be just occasional border conflicts. The final solution will still be at the negotiating table. So we should not put all the bets too much on Berlin now, be careful to bet the wrong bets then!"
Hahaha… The princess sneered and said, "Betting the wrong bet? It's really funny. You had already put the wrong bet during the P&A War. Now do you want to make another decision? I can't believe your vision!"
When talking about the Pakatan Harapan War, Ludwig II's face turned slightly red.
It’s really a pot that doesn’t open! During the Prussia-Austria War, Ludwig II did make a wrong judgment. He thought that Austria was very powerful and that the weak Prussia could not be an opponent of the old power.
So, he stood firmly on the side of Austria to fight against Prussia, but he never expected that Prussia's military strength was so strong that Austria failed completely without even a beautiful counterattack!
After the war, Ludwig II sent his uncle Prince Lutpod to Berlin to apologize and make countless concessions, and only then did he exempt Prussia from punishing the Bavarian Kingdom.
However, Bavaria was also forced to sign a military alliance treaty with Prussia!
For Ludwig II, this treaty was like a shackle on his neck! Since ancient times, what literary youths feared the most were iron-blooded soldiers. These were creatures on two different planets and there was no way to communicate.
Ludwig II believed in peace in his heart, and he was unwilling to fight at all. He would never use violent means unless he had no choice!
But this kind of military alliance treaty forced him to join the army and fight one war after another that he was reluctant to fight.
He felt extremely disgusted and extremely fed, but he had no choice but to face the high pressure of Prussia, he could only retreat weakly.
Today, his cousin Princess Sissi once again hurt his weakness, which made the young king unable to sit still. He stood up and paced back and forth in the hall.
"I admit that I made a mistake in the Prussian-Austria war, but Austria is different from France! France is several times stronger than Austria. Prussia can take advantage of Austria. Can he still take advantage of the French?"
"In the Prussian War, it was nothing more than a new type of secret weapon invested by the Prussians, and they were equipped with a needle-punch rifle afterwards. It was precisely because of the investment of this new type of weapon that the Prussians reversed the situation."
"Now this weapon has been revealed to the world, and France has equipped it with more advanced needle-punching rifles. The gap in weapons is gone, and Prussia cannot catch up with the gap in national strength. In this case, you tell me, how should I choose? Of course I have to choose the side that I will win!"
"And I firmly believe that war can't be fought at all. National strength, national strength! Prussia's national strength is too different from France, how can it be won?"
"Enough, I don't want to listen to your nonsense anymore!" Princess Sissi was furious and stood up and scolded.
"Is this your judgment, or your uncle Prince Lütterbod's judgment? Didn't he give you any advice?"
"Of course, my uncle stood firmly on my side, and his judgment should of course be consistent with me!"
"What did you say?" Princess Sissi's face changed drastically. "Prince Lütterpod is actually consistent with your judgment? He actually clearly stated that he wants to stand on your side? Aren't you lying to me?"
Ludwig II did not hear the strange tone of his cousin's tone at all. Instead, he proudly raised his chest and looked up and said, "Of course! I am the French king of the Kingdom of Bavaria. My will represents the will of this country. Of course they have to listen to me!"
A look of fear appeared in Princess Sissi's eyes. "My cousin, please tell me, yesterday when you received a telegram from Berlin and knew that Xiao Letian was coming to Bavaria, did you, your uncle, give you any advice to personally accept the station?"
Ludwig II shook his head, "I didn't see my uncle last night. After receiving the telegram, I asked the palace servants to send orders to my uncle, asking him to welcome Xiao Letian the next day! That's all..."
"He went to prepare after receiving the order, but he didn't come to find me on his own initiative! It's such a small matter to take the station, do you need to hold a meeting to discuss it?"
Princess Sissi's face became paler and pale. She pondered for a moment and looked up at her brother. "My cousin, do you really feel the weirdness here? You don't understand the unspoken rules in diplomacy, but Prince Liutpod, your uncle is a veteran politician. How could he not understand the unspoken rules in this?"
"He didn't even remind him! You have to be careful. If you suggest you prevent him, why do I have a bad premonition..."
