In the Munich Palace, a meeting that determines the fate of the Kingdom of Bavaria began.

"Your Majesty, your resolution is too hasty. At this time, we will inevitably be retaliated by the Austrians." Prime Minister Murth said with a frown.

Not long ago, the Prussian government proposed to "establish a German responsibility cabinet composed of Austria, Prussia and Bavaria to jointly dominate the German region."

This was what Maximi I dreamed of, and without the consent of the government, he privately concluded an alliance with the Prussians.

On the surface, if this plan is successful, the highest goal of the Bavarian Kingdom, "three points of the world", will be realized. After all, their strength is limited and it is impossible to unify the German region.

But in fact, this bait is poisonous. Now the Prussian Kingdom has lost its reputation in the German region and urgently needs to be restored. It is obvious that this responsible cabinet plan came about.

Now that Bavaria and the Prussian Kingdom have been mixed up, it is undoubtedly a betrayal for Austria and will inevitably be retaliated against.

As the boss of the German region, this so-called responsibility cabinet could not be established without Austria's support. The three-pointer that Maximi I pursued was to make a bamboo basket - a waste of time.

The actual benefits were not obtained, and they were mixed up with the infamous Prussian government. Not to mention anything else, the news spread and the support of the Bavarian people for the government would drop by a few percentage points.

Not all Bavarians have the idea of ​​pointing Germany to three points. In many people's opinion, the Bavarian Kingdom is too weak, and it is the best choice to achieve German national unity and Austrian cooperation.

“Now Austria is powerful and the Kingdom of Prussia has just encountered a Waterloo. If we do not support them, the balance of the German region will be broken.

The Vienna government is now carrying out social reforms, and judging from the information we have received, it has already taken effect.

Austria, both in terms of population and territory, exceeds the sum of all our remaining states. Once they transform these potentials into national strength, who can stop them?" asked Maximi I.

Prime Minister Murtis also thought so, so he supported joining forces with Austria to unify the German region and establish a great German empire.

Since it is a joint effort, you can naturally divide the cake. Austrians are the major shareholders and the Kingdom of Bavaria can also be the second shareholders, so it is naturally indispensable to occupy an important position in the future board of directors.

This is the choice that best guarantees their interests. Cooperating with the strong is the way to survive for a small country. This is how Bavaria joined the German Empire in history.

Just think about these words, Mulles will not say them. Otherwise, Maximi will be furious and the Prime Minister will lose confidence. What's the point?

"Your Majesty, the time is wrong. The reputation of the Kingdom of Prussia is too bad. The people have no favoritism towards them. Even if they want to cooperate with them, they will have to pass the limelight.

The Austrian government is busy with internal reforms and will not take any action within the year.

As long as our allies do not end, even for reputation, the Austrian government will not take the blame for the world.

Now we and Prussia have blocked the pace of Austria's unification of the German region. Even if they want to unify the German region, we must cooperate." Mulldes thought for a while and said

Fame is also a double-edged sword, because fame Austria became the leader of the German state, and was also subject to fame, which hindered Austria from unifying the German region.

"Nationalism has risen, and the idea of ​​great unification has spread in the German region. If we do not take action in advance, the more we face us, the more we will be.

After the establishment of the Holy Roman Economic Alliance, the Austrian government accelerated the infiltration of the German region, and we could not even stop it on the surface.

If the New Year is really celebrated, Austria might be ready to unify the German region directly by force.

Austria has too much influence in Bavaria. Who knows how many people will become the leader party?

I don't think the Bavarians would resist the Austrians as they resist foreign invasions. Judging from the people's situation, the Great Germans now want to let the Austrian army fight.

We all know that the main factor that hinders the Habsburgs from unifying the German region is not military. Austria has this strength, and the key is diplomatic."

When Maximi I was saying this, he was in a heavy mood.

The "Austrian threat theory" has existed for hundreds of years, but now there is no market. The German unification faction hopes that Austria will be stronger and it is better to unify the country sooner.

Due to Franz's butterfly effect, the Austrian government has increased its public opinion on the South German state, and more and more people agree with Austria. Maximi I was anxious in my eyes.

Rather than saying that Maximi I was pro-Prussia, it was more forced by reality. In order to protect his rights, it is the best choice to unite with Prussia to fight against Austria.

He also thought so in history, and was able to get along with both sides of the Pu'Austrian War, but he did not expect that the Austrian government would withdraw directly from the German region and stop playing after the Pu'Austrian War.

...

The Bavarian government has done nothing even if it has any objection to the king's hasty decision. It has offended Austria and can no longer offend Prussia.

On July 21, 1850, the Kingdom of Prussia joined forces with Bavaria, Hannover, Brunswick and other states to propose to the German Federal Parliament to form a responsible cabinet.

History has changed. Because of the damage to reputation, the Prussians changed their strategies and did not engage in the so-called "Three Kings Alliance", but chose to join forces with Bavaria.

Vienna

The Prussians' actions were also somewhat acquiesced by Austria, otherwise they would not have been so easy to connect.

As things come to an end, everyone is still extremely angry about Bavaria's betrayal.

Once the cabinet of the "Big Three" is established, Austria's influence in the German region will be greatly damaged, and Bavaria's betrayal will even slap the Austrian government in the face.

The Prussian conspiracy must be stopped, and the Bavarian government's betrayal must be retaliated. Otherwise, how can Austria continue to hang out on the European continent?

Metternik proposed, “Your Majesty, in order to combat the ambitions of Prussia and Bavaria, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs recommends that small states in the German region be won over and all states jointly form a responsible cabinet.”

Small states have low voice, but their countries have many, and they take advantage of the situation when parliament quarrels. Once all countries jointly form a responsible cabinet, it will be no different from the current federal parliament.

Just think about it, a cabinet with more than thirty people will make a noise when encountering problems. It is easy to imagine how much role it can play.

On the principle of equality of states, the authority of Prussia and Bavaria was compressed to the same status as that of small states, and the role of Austria, recognized as the first German state, was highlighted.

Prime Minister Felix thought about it and said, "I'm afraid it's not so easy. The great powers don't want Germany to be unified in the region. It's a dream to rely on a responsible cabinet to unify the country.

Even if the cabinet is established, who can be commanded? No matter we, the traitor of Prussia, or Bavaria, will not take the cabinet seriously."

This is inevitable. How could an empty cabinet of responsible forces be ordered nationwide?

Chancellor Carl suggested, “Since that’s the case, then we might as well muddle the water.

The German Federation cannot be without emperors. While forming a responsible cabinet, we simply propose emperor elections and move forward a big step forward in the pace of German unification.”

It was indeed a big step forward, and the common emperor and cabinet appeared. With great righteousness and status, the road to unification in the German region would be easier.

Obviously, it is impossible for the Kingdom of Prussia to agree, unless they are willing to be a junior to Austria, otherwise it is impossible to compromise on this issue.

For names and tools, you cannot fake people, and they are common in any country. In Germany, you can't even find competitors except the Habsburg family.

Influence is invisible and intangible, but no one can ignore its existence. Legal rationality is one of the absolute factors that determine the European throne.

Opening the history of the German region, you will find that those who are qualified to compete with the Habsburg family have disappeared into the long river of history.

The remaining royal families, whether in terms of influence or legality, cannot be compared with the Habsburg family.

If the Habsburgs nominally unified the German region, wouldn’t it be the resurrection of Shinra?

"If the great powers had not intervened, we might have forced the Prussians to accept it, but it is impossible now.

I guess if this suggestion is put forward, it will be collectively opposed by everyone, and we cannot withstand such great pressure." Metternier shook his head and said

Of course, it is better to unify the German region without bloodshed. Even if it is just a nominal unification, Austria can slowly transform "noun" into reality.

Obviously, it is impossible for the great powers to agree. Even the Russians who allied with Austria would immediately turn against each other. This is a bottom line issue.

Now, no matter how much as the Middle Ages, nationalism in the German region has awakened. Once the German region is unified, even if it is nominal unity, this Central European Empire will be a trembling existence.

Whether it is France in the west, Russia in the east, or Britain far away, you will feel threatened.

Standing opposite to European countries, Austria is not Russia or Britain. It has no geographical advantage and no strait that can serve as a natural line of defense.

Located in the four battles, the Austrian Empire was destined to have no allies in international politics, and being isolated means danger.

Carl explained calmly, "So, this proposal can only muddle the water, and we don't expect that the German region can be unified by such simple political means.

The German emperor election was just a test. What was tested was not the attitude of governments, but the attitude of the people in the German region.

The idea of ​​great unification is widely spread, but we only have a brief estimate of how high the public's acceptance of Austria is, and now we regard it as a poll.

This data can be used as an important reference for us to formulate the German regional strategy and avoid many detours."
