The Rise of the Empire

"Your Highness, have you really decided to do this?" In front of the Palace of the Polish Governor-General of the Kingdom of Prussia, Count Marwitz looked at his master, the German Crown Prince Wilhelm, with a complex expression.

"Do I have any other choice?" the Crown Prince said sternly as he looked at his most loyal servant.

"In that case, let me go to Berlin with you. I have already asked my family to prepare their luggage. They will be waiting for our arrival at the train station." Count Malwitz said with a long sigh.

"This is a good idea. I believe your help will make our plan go very smoothly." The Crown Prince first got into the car, and then reached out to support the elderly earl.

"Thank you, my master." The Earl sat down next to Crown Prince William with some difficulty. "Do you regret it now? If you regret it, it's still too late." On the way to the train station, the count whispered.

"I have some regrets, but I definitely don't regret it!" the Crown Prince said categorically, and then there was a long silence between the two of them. Both of them began to recall what happened in the Viceroyalty of Poland in the Kingdom of Prussia in the past few months.

In these few months, the Crown Prince's Black Wing Knights have indeed developed quite rapidly. Its expansion speed can be described as an explosion. If people knew what nuclear fission was at that time, they would use fission to describe it. ! Tens of thousands of Junker nobles, businessmen and middle class gathered under the crown prince for their own interests. At the top, there were Junker nobles and big capitalists who provided convenience and funds for themselves. At the middle level, there were a large number of middle class people waving flags and shouting for themselves. They spread the crown prince's ideas through newspapers and various channels. Even the most extreme ideas are supported by some.

At the bottom, a large number of people were coerced and became the peripheral institutions and mass base of this organization. Under the conscious guidance of the top leaders, a large number of Germans came to the newly added colonies, and then went on a rampage under the protection of government decrees and army bayonets. By plundering the assets and wealth of the locals, they regard themselves as slave owners, oppressing the locals, and then in turn support the crown prince who provides convenience for themselves!

The entire German-occupied Poland has become a place where the Black Wing Knights carnival. They use all kinds of extreme means to obtain benefits, without caring about the results and costs of doing so. In other words, they have already thought of this result. Anyway, at most one day Returning to their hometown with their own wealth, as for who will clean up the mess here, that is not a problem for them. The people gathered for profit will also fall apart because of the profit. The thoughts of some people in the Black Wing Knights Properly proves this truth.

This is completely inconsistent with the crown prince's ideas. He needs reliable and capable allies, not fair-weather friends! He does want to bribe some people with some benefits, but this does not mean that he is willing to let his men do whatever they want. Some people's actions even exceed the prince's tolerance limit! After all, if nothing else happens, he will stay in the Polish Viceroyalty for a long time.

This will be his base and where he will prove his ability. A messy Polish Viceroyalty would never bring any benefit to the Crown Prince, and the Kaiser's patience had its limits!

So the crown prince regretted a little, and he began to try to restrain his subordinates. However, it was easy to fall, but it was difficult to break out. Due to various relationships, the crown prince found that his efficiency in handling these things was very low because he expanded too fast. Soon, he did not establish an efficient team that was completely obedient to his orders. Therefore, the Crown Prince began to repair internal affairs with the help of Count Marwitz, and looked for issues that could divert internal attention. To put it bluntly, he was looking for new sources of profit. Come and distract these vampires in you from the Polish Viceroyalty!

However, it turns out that his influence is still too limited. Outside the Polish Viceroyalty, other places don't seem to buy it very much. The center of the empire is controlled by the three largest mountains in the empire. The crown prince has no ability to directly intervene. The colonies are completely free competition and are a matter of personal ability. The Crown Prince had no choice. In short, the so-called plan was executed very poorly. Until one day, Lieutenant General Estroff, the Grand Knight Commander of the Black Wing Knights, came to the Crown Prince's residence and put forward his own suggestions!

"Now the situation in the Middle East has changed very obviously. Marshal Kemal, who is supported by Bavaria, should be completely removed from Turkey's chessboard. Turmoil in Turkey is inevitable. And as Turkey weakens, other countries are also starting to prepare for action. , Persia, with the support of the Americans and Russians, plans to attack Turkey. The entire Middle East will face a big reshuffle, and if we can seize this opportunity, we will definitely gain considerable benefits from the Middle East! "Lieutenant General Estroff said.

I have to say that Lieutenant General Estroff’s suggestion is very tempting to the Crown Prince! First of all, both Mesopotamia and Persia have a lot of oil! Even though Bavaria already controls some of these oil fields, the remaining oil production capacity is strong enough, at least enough to meet the needs of the Kingdom of Prussia. And if you monopolize the oil industry of the Kingdom of Prussia, it goes without saying how great the benefits will be.

More importantly, both Turkey and Persia have huge markets. Now that the world is being carved up by great powers, if these two countries can be controlled by some means, then whether it is Both the Kingdom of Prussia and itself will benefit immensely. After all, you have raw materials, a market, and indirectly control the state power. Well, all the problems of development have been solved, and the benefits will naturally follow. More! At least enough for the Crown Prince to continue to maintain his Black Wing Knights.

Of course, there are definitely risks in doing so, because it was Crown Prince Ruprecht who previously controlled the situation in the Middle East, and the biggest piece of Germany's pie in Turkey is also from Bavaria. If the crown prince does this, it will undoubtedly exclude Bavaria from the future Middle East system. Although on the surface, Bavaria states that it will not intervene alone without central support, everyone knows that if this piece of cake is really touched, Bavaria will definitely react! Even if we don’t fight for steamed buns, we still have to fight for words! Otherwise, where would the reputation of the southern German boss be?

So, now the question arises, what to do about this matter?
