Let these ministers of the Principality of Bavaria realize that the more people involved in the selection of the new Duke of Bavaria, the more detrimental it will be to them, so we extended our olive branch to these confidants of the Duke of Bavaria.

We must join forces with the ministers of the Principality of Bavaria to block the news of the Duke's death, and then, as peacefully as possible, let someone replace the Duke of Bavaria.

The reason for cooperation is simple for us.

If the French heard the news of the death of the Duke of Bavaria, they would be extremely happy. Who made the Duke of Bavaria overturn their good intentions some time ago and "swallow" the gifts they sent? After that, maybe

The negotiations just concluded a few days ago were overturned and started again.

Our hundreds of thousands of troops have been confronting the French on the German border for so long. The Principality of Hesse has almost been forced to expropriate food on the spot. If we stay any longer, we may have to

The capital of regions such as Austria and Bavaria has been shaken. And this is definitely not what the ministers of the Principality of Bavaria want to see.

You know, the French ravaged Bavaria three years ago. If they were to play it again, even if the ministers of the Principality of Bavaria successfully manipulated the Duke of Bavaria as a puppet, their Principality of Bavaria would have been destroyed.

It's not even a scumbag. Facing a ruin, is it fun to play with such a supreme emperor?

On the surface, we suffered a loss. The Duke of Bavaria died. Not only did the original plan to rely on the Duke of Bavaria, a loyal and steadfast ally, to control the Principality of Bavaria and the Kingdom of Austria completely failed, but it also made Bavaria, which had been able to stand firmly on the side of the empire, for a while.

A very serious situation has arisen, which may be out of our control at any time.

But in fact, as long as everything is done properly, all the conditions we promised to Bavaria do not need to be realized. Because helping the Duke of Bavaria control the Kingdom of Austria is the big deal! We spend more time negotiating on this issue than on other issues.

We have to do twice as much! And if we want to realize various plans, the money burned is simply measured in tons. Similar to what we did in the Principality of Bavaria before, the bribes we paid to the ministers of the Principality of Bavaria were simply

Can't be compared.

Regarding how to block the news of the death of the Duke of Bavaria and the appointment of the new Duke of the Principality of Bavaria, we have already made preparations. First of all, I have to attend the armistice signing ceremony between the two sides. A close minister of the Duke of Bavaria will appear in place of the Duke of Bavaria. When we are signing

At the time of the treaty, Valens and Constans took the remaining henchmen of the Duke of Bavaria to control the Duke of Bavaria's army and the Duke of Bavaria's distant neighbors within the principality.

Although the number of troops in the Principality of Bavaria is only tens of thousands, and their combat effectiveness is poor, most of the members of this army are nobles. Controlling them is equivalent to gaining the recognition of most of the nobles of the Principality of Bavaria. This pair try not to want to

It's very important for us to make things bigger.

However, before that, which relative of the Duke of Bavaria is more likely to become a duke is a question worth discussing with the ministers of the Principality of Bavaria, even if we already have a suitable solution in mind.

When it comes to things like puppets, children may be the first choice for most people. Who makes them easy to control? And when they grow up, as long as they don’t make mistakes in training, they will usually raise a submissive waste. Well, I

That’s what I told Constans and Alexander. And the basis of my remarks, I won’t tell them, is that they come from various animations in the 21st century.

However, after our investigation, we found that in addition to having no sons, the Duke of Bavaria also had brothers and sisters who died early, and all of the children he gave birth to were basically adults.

what to do?

Originally we had a hard time choosing which one to choose. After all, the Duke of Bavaria has so many brothers, so the legitimacy of our choice may not necessarily be much higher than that of others.

Then, Maurice shined here. He suggested that he should do whatever he wanted. Anyway, when the time came, after the new Duke of Bavaria came to power, he would beat and intimidate them until they were afraid.

To be honest, a few of us immediately raised our hands and feet in favor of this proposal. No matter who it is, catch it and beat it until you are afraid and until you dare not do anything, then everything will be fine.

, isn’t it?

So, when it came to asking the Bavarians, we generously gave the Bavarians the right to make choices.

As expected.

The grandson of the third son of the Duke of Bavaria's father, the son of the Duke of Bavaria's younger brother, came into our view.

It doesn't matter who this person is or what his name is. What's important is that he has very good qualities as a puppet.

23, 4 years old. His reputation includes the following: he is lazy and lazy, acts recklessly and robs women, and often gambles. His private life is chaotic and he often cannot make ends meet.

Capture him and make him a duke, and send Maurice to train him for three or two months. He will probably be able to successfully take on the role of holding the golden rice bowl of a puppet and wait for death for the rest of his life.

Of course, just having people on our side is not enough. On the French side, when we are about to elect the new Duke of Bavaria, they will naturally arrange for one or two people to be double spies. During this period, Valens and

Constans go and investigate those Bavarians.

It took more than two days to discuss this matter. At the same time, the messenger I sent brought me a large number of cavalry. I began to return to the place where the treaty was scheduled to be signed with the confidants of the former Duke of Bavaria.

Place.

That's right, I was just afraid of death. I was afraid that little Kongdai, who was so stunned that he was as dumb as two hundred and fifty, would come out with a few infantry cannons to blast me, so I hired thousands of cavalry to conduct a large-scale reconnaissance.

Paving the way for my return.

As expected, Little Condé believed that my death would lead to the Empire declaring war on France at all costs, so when the contract was signed with Strasbourg, this guy never showed up.

I asked the Duke of Luxembourg that this guy had actually gone to Metz.

Well, if Izumi, the Prince of Condai, knew better, he would be very angry for such a childless son. If he were him, he would probably have led his troops out to fight with Alexander and the others while laughing loudly.

Of course, I secretly took note of all the French generals who were surprised to see me. If nothing else, these people at least had a hand in the assassination of "me".

I visited the scene and investigated the testimonies of the people at the scene.

The group of Frenchmen who assassinated me probably killed half of them in one round of artillery fire, but half of them rushed out and beat the crap out of the Bavarians. Then they were inexplicably laughing and shouting, "This belongs to the French."

"Punishment", and then not only ran away without checking the body, but also threw down the infantry cannon with the French arsenal on it on the spot, for fear that we would not know that the attackers were French.

It's just a pity that the French people's idea of ​​​​running back to report the news in order to allow the living people to report the news did not succeed. Indirectly, the French "conspiracy" that reached the extreme of 250 naturally did not succeed.

We worked together to sign an armistice agreement with the French that day.
Chapter completed!
