Chapter 1537: The Difference

Chapter 1537 Difference

"It is generally believed that the determination of the status of the three kingdoms of Bavaria, Württemberg, and Saxony in Prussia was the result of political compromise among the kingdoms in Germany after the establishment of the Empire. In this way, the wars of the German countries are avoided, and the tragedy of being taken advantage of by the French or other countries is also avoided."

"But then, after entering a period of peaceful development, why did the unprecedentedly powerful Prussia still want to guarantee the rights of the three kingdoms and the major duchies? Are they powerless? Is it because of the estimation of the external environment? These are hard to say, but, The most important point is that the king of Prussia, the emperor of Germany, thinks that such a situation is in his best interest and is the best way to maintain his monarchy! Because he limits the power of the bourgeoisie!" Ruprecht smiled explained.

"Prime Minister Holwig should have been troubled by the capitalists in the Imperial Parliament all day long, right? I can only say that you are very lucky now. If it was during the European Revolution in 1848 or the military reform period in 1861, you would face It may not be the accusations of the capitalists in the parliament, but their bullets!" said the prince.

"You must know that in the European revolution in 1848, the insurgents spread all over Germany, and Prussia, Austria, and most of the states were not spared. It was a storm that swept across Central Europe. If you are not careful, the crown will be knocked down. .The military reform in 1861 was also a critical moment for His Majesty William I and the Iron-Blooded Prime Minister to confirm the monarchy, that is to say, before Prussia moves towards the unification of Germany, they must first fight at home!" The prince paused and let Huo Ervig continued to digest the information.

"After experiencing these things, whether it is His Majesty William I or Prime Minister Bismarck, they realized one thing. It is possible to destroy the German states. After all, in the process of unifying the German Empire, the disappearance of countries such as the Kingdom of Hanover also exists. ...But they also realize one thing, that is, they can't destroy the parliament forever, they will always have to fight the parties in the parliament, this is a war that can never be stopped, isn't it? continue until now!"

"Prussia's military power allowed him to unify the entire empire, but he was a little weak when dealing with the parliament. After all, domestic affairs cannot be resolved by violence. Well, in order to ensure the stability of the monarchy, they must come up with a way. "

"And this method is to continue to retain most of the states in the German system! Because only in this way, there will be a federal parliament above the imperial parliament. The federal parliament is controlled by the state and can be used as the last fuse to guarantee the monarchy. and the status of nobles!"

"And what about the bourgeoisie? Also because of the existence of various states, it is difficult for them to form a unified national political party. The so-called largest political party, how many people does the Social Democratic Party have? Just over 1 million. The existence of states is weakening the emperor. At the same time as its rule, it is also weakening the power of the bourgeoisie,

Therefore, a balance has been formed within the German Empire, and the Kaiser can also get help from Bavaria when dealing with the bourgeoisie. "

"Thus, the final political model of the German Empire was born, in which Prussia had an overwhelming advantage, but he guaranteed the rights of the other states, and the latter helped Prussia to limit the power of the bourgeoisie inside and avoid the consequences of events such as the Great Revolution in 1848. Happened. Therefore, although Prussia will weaken some of the kingdom's privileges for the sake of domestic development, he definitely does not fundamentally cancel the kingdom. Do you understand?" the prince said with a smile.

"Fuck, the water is so deep?!" Prime Minister Holwig looked at the Grand Duke of Baden next to him, and suddenly felt that in some matters, the Grand Duke of Baden and Ruprecht were on the same side... The Grand Duke of Baden remained silent, and his tacit attitude was actually equivalent to acknowledging what the prince said.

"Then, let's change the subject. Why is Austria capable of eating Hungary under such circumstances? Although I understand your thoughts to a certain extent, I lack sufficient reasons and evidence." The Grand Duke of Baden asked .

"The situation in the Austro-Hungarian Empire is different from that of the German Empire. Their ethnic conflicts are even greater than class conflicts. After the Austro-Prussian War, Austria's reputation fell to the bottom, but why is Hungary, which has 300,000 square kilometers of land, still willing to Under the rule of the Habsburg dynasty? Because, within the territory of Hungary, the proportion of Hungarians is not even half. Whether it is the bourgeoisie or ordinary people, they all know that without the support of Austria, the Hungarians It's hard to rule such a huge country! And it's the same with Austria."

"But now? The situation is different. Before the birth of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the Austrian Germans had insufficient control over the Bohemians, but now it is different. Now, the Austrian Germans and the Bohemians The integration of sub-human races is accelerating, and this trend has led to the unprecedented unity of Austria, coupled with its own industrial and economic advantages, in the dual empire, Austria's advantages are already great!" said the prince.

"Hehe, on this point, Bavaria and Your Highness have contributed a lot." Prime Minister Holwig said half-seriously and half-jokingly, and there seemed to be some elements of sarcasm in it.

"That's right, so we have obtained the control and inheritance rights of Bohemia-Moravia. My eldest son, Albrecht, will inherit the ruling power of Crown Princess Mary in the above regions." The prince said with some pride.

"Fuck! What's the situation?!" Not only was Prime Minister Holwig shocked this time, but even the Grand Duke of Baden was dumbfounded. After all, the previous treaty between Austria and Bavaria only stated that Princess Mary would be the Grand Duke of the two places. He has the right to rule, but he didn't talk about the issue of inheritance... Although he is also a grand duke, facing the grand duke of Bohemia-Moravia, he owns land comparable to a small European country, and he is much tougher than the grand duke himself...

"Three days ago, I think the Kaiser should have known about it by now. After all, the Kaiser wants to do such a big thing, how can it be done without reliable foreign aid?" the prince said with a smile. It is impossible for the so-called political transaction to be without remuneration, and the prince said that he stayed out of the political struggle of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The benefits, and then help Austrian Emperor settle some things.
