"It seems that our Bavarian prince has obtained everything he wants! Bavarian armor monopolized the imperial naval armor market, and he extended it to the shipbuilding industry. Brom-Foss Shipyard reached an agreement with Prince Ruprecht for some purpose. Their design was also adopted by the Navy. The performance of the long-dormand in the south this year made the whole of Germany look at it." Herbert Bismarck said with some concern, because in the Empire's Game of Thrones, a new player who didn't know his enemies and friends joined in. Originally, this player had strength, but he had no idea, but this time it was different, and the first move was extraordinary!

"Do you think they have obtained everything?" The old prime minister who was sitting on the seat seemed to hear something very ridiculous. "No, no, no! This is just the beginning. They have gained a lot of benefits with their own strength, and these benefits attract them like aged wine, and they will further gain benefits!"

"This is not a good sign." Herbert frowned and said dissatisfied. "This will stimulate other kingdoms. Although the Württenburg and the Saxony kingdoms are not as large as Bavaria's, their industries and textile industries are very developed. Bavaria's achievements may make them covet some industries of the empire."

"Don't equate the German Empire with the Prussian Empire. For the benefit of the empire, the Prussian Kingdom needs to make a partial transfer of rights. As long as it does not affect the basic structure of the empire, it is allowed. The Prussian army is the army of the empire. Are the armies of Bavaria, Wurttemberg and Saxony not the army of the empire? Your disgust is fundamentally what you think they have taken away the cake that originally belonged to Prussia!"

"Will Bavaria's intervention affect the internal affairs and diplomacy of the empire? Prince Ruprecht and His Royal Highness have a very good personal relationship, and the Kingdom of Bavaria also holds 6 votes in the Federal Parliament! Will they affect your rights?" Herbert asked.

"It will definitely affect, and it will be a good influence! Because I have what they need in my hands!" Tiexuezai said with confidence.

"They have to go into more areas?" Herbert said in surprise.

"That's natural. Everything you said is what they have already obtained. It was decided long before the prince came to Berlin. And what they wanted to obtain must be exchanged from me! From the momentum, both sides are still trustworthy, and the expansion speed of the navy is still under our control. The cooperation between the two sides is very good. Now I am somewhat looking forward to what kind of exchange of interests that little guy will propose." The Prime Minister was not worried about his current situation at all, and he showed full confidence in front of his son.

But deep down, he still couldn't figure out what this little guy, or the Bavarian royal family, wanted to get. To be honest, although he thought the plan for agricultural aid to exchange for political support was very attractive, before the other party agreed, he still had fifteen buckets in his heart.

Although Bismarck is still in power now, it is completely different from when William I. The old emperor was unreserved trust! With the support of the monarchy, his position was very stable, but now, the new emperor does not trust him. The only reason why he can sit in this position is that His Majesty the Emperor did not find a more suitable candidate! Losing the unreserved support of the monarchy, his position is not stable, so he urgently needs to find allies, especially those from outside Prussia!

"So what benefits are you going to get from Bavaria?" Herbert asked.

"It's enough for them to stand on our side in the Federal Parliament. I want to strengthen the government's investment in education, health, welfare and construction to absorb the excess capital of the empire, rather than turning them into warships too early. The sentiment among the empire is a bit radical, and if it is not guided well, the government will be kidnapped by public opinion. I want to stop this from happening." Bismarck's eyes flashed with a hint of worry.

The Navy Association seems to have appeared earlier than history. (Because the author doesn't know when the association was established--!) This association is not like an industry association in the general sense. The top leaders are capitalists and bankers and some noble bureaucrats with high power, while the middle leaders are affected intellectuals. The lower classes are fanatical German citizens. They have a stable structure and a clear division of labor. They have ideals and goals! They have money and roots! Such a vibrant social group has a great impact on the German regime!

"To a certain extent, it is enough for me to maintain neutrality. The Federal Parliament cannot be avoided. The votes of each kingdom and principality are bound and cannot be broken down, but the Imperial Parliament is much easier to deal with. It can be divided and disintegrated." The Prime Minister paused and continued.

"Don't you think that having a good relationship with the Bavarian royal family now is a good thing for your future development? I will eventually grow old and you cannot become the prime minister, but the Vettelsbach family will always be the royal family! After all, we are just the stewards of the empire, and they are the masters of the empire!" A trace of helplessness was revealed in the prime minister's words. Even if the prime minister, who has power, is only the host and bystander of the Federal Parliament. He can only make a resolution, but cannot finalize it!

The previous cooperation was just an appetizer, and the later cooperation was the key. His Royal Highness got the order, established a relationship with the crown prince, met the main members of the royal family, settled the shipyard, and played around in Berlin. Now, it’s time to talk to me.

As the Prime Minister expected, the Time Traveler did intend to talk to the Prime Minister, but what the Prime Minister thought was that the content of the Time Traveler wanted to talk to the Prime Minister this time was not just an exchange of interests! This time, he will make some suggestions from the perspective of the empire! Not to mention that it can reverse the trend of history, at least it can make Germany last longer! German affairs cannot avoid the current Prime Minister!

"Iron-blooded Prime Minister, he created the German Empire that countless German fans admired in later generations." When he saw the schedule sent by Earl Schelling, the time traveler was a little excited. Although the time traveler was not a German fan, he still respected this old man who created a world-class power. Of course, in addition to respect, more importantly, he could bring more benefits to himself! The cooperation between the German Prime Minister and the Kingdom of Bavaria is absolutely mutually beneficial. The prime minister needs the votes of the kingdom, and the kingdom needs the policy preference of the empire!
