C2561 dual monarchy (1/2)
At this point, Xiao Letian had already explained all the benefits of the unity of the Germany s. As long as the young king was not a fool, he would be able to understand Xiao Letian's reasoning.
Ludwig II said nothing, and after five or six minutes, he raised his head and asked: ”Thank you for your honesty, then please tell me, what does Bismark want? What does he need me to do? ”
Xiao Letian's left hand held onto the railing, while his right hand pointed towards the Great River Mountain of Bavaria. ”Bismark's request is very simple, he hopes that you, the King, can devote yourself to this war to revive the German Nationality, and that you can prepare for war, cooperate with Prussia in the war against France, this is a national war!”
”Together, we will defeat the last obstacle to the rise of Germany! Let Germany officially become a nationalist, capitalist power! ”
As long as we win this war, William I will officially be crowned emperor. At that time, German unification will be inevitable, and your position as the King of Bavaria will not be harmed in the slightest.
”Because a united and powerful industrialized Germany must be able to produce a lot more wealth than a divided Germany. When that time comes, you will not only be able to enjoy the wealth of the Bavaria, but also have a share of the wealth of the entire Germany!”
”Hahaha …” Ludwig II laughed, ”You talk a lot, but you talk a lot in the same way! I just wanted to use wealth to buy the power in my hands! When William I ascends the throne, I will still be this small king of the Bavaria! ”
”But our diplomatic power, our military power, and our legislative power are all in Berlin, aren't they? The loss of sovereignty is actually a good thing in your mouth, I'm afraid it's really hard for me to understand! ”
Xiao Letian said with furrowed brows, ”Then what do you want to do? ”Now is not the time to be emotional. You have clearly seen the ways of the world, and the final result for small and weak nations is to be eliminated!”
”Stop dreaming about the feudal lords of the Middle Ages. Time has passed, and the Danube is flowing like a river. We will never return …”
”You can't do this, you'll be swallowed by the waves of this era!”
Ludwig II stubbornly looked at Xiao Letian, and said with a stern voice. I can agree to Bismark's request! ”But the Führer, please convey my request to him!”
”As long as William I promises, and in the future when the German Empire implements a dual monarchy, I want half of the successor to the throne! As long as they can promise me that, I can promise them all their conditions! ”
With a hiss, Xiao Letian sucked in a breath of cold air.
The concept of a dual monarchy was rather unfamiliar to the modern man, but in medieval Europe, this concept was very common.
The Queen of England, for instance, is also king of Scotland, England, and Ireland. Many countries are formed by the union of several ancient kingdoms.
Who was going to inherit the position of the first in line? The way things were going was very complicated. With thousands and thousands of connections between the royal family, the succession rights became very chaotic!
His son, daughter, son-in-law, foster son, the title of Pope … Due to their different ranks, all sorts of nobles had a certain percentage of the kingdom's inheritance rights.
