Chapter 1817: Choice
"So, what is the purpose of you telling me these things? What do you want me to do?" Roman Drowski looked resigned, because if the current Poland cannot meet the expectations of the Germans , he had no doubt that the Germans would do so, fundamentally dismantling the Polish nation. The so-called situation is stronger than people, and people have to bow their heads under the roof. If he wanted to avoid these things from happening, Roman knew he had to do something.
"Although our current relationship can be called an enemy, we still have something in common. For example, the city outside is definitely not what we want to see now! Warsaw, this historic city has been destroyed by war. What a mess of peace and unrest! We are one country after all, and it is not what we want to have such a scar on the body of the empire."
"So, my request is very simple. First, you and your political party stop attacking and confronting Germany. Second, you and us restore the social and economic order in Poland. If we do well, we still have We can talk about other things, what we want is a rich area. You have cooperated with Tsarist Russia before, I think there is no psychological barrier to cooperate with us, right?" Earl Caliput said.
"What about the plan you said?" Although Roman was still fighting for it verbally, in fact, he had already succumbed!
"All those who participated in this rebellion must be severely punished! This has nothing to do with ethnic issues, this is the law! If you do something bad, you will be punished. As for forgiveness? That is God's business and has nothing to do with me!" Earl Caliput paused Dun went on to say: "We will arrange for them according to the different crimes committed. Some of them must be sent to the colonies in Africa for labor. After the labor is over, they can choose to settle there or come back. It’s fine if the family stays together, I believe the empire has this resource, and if it’s within the control area of the Kingdom of Bavaria, then there’s no problem.”
What are the criteria for defining a real victory in a war? It is not the surrender of the enemy, nor how much land has been occupied, but that the benefits are far greater than the sacrifices! For this standard, Germany has clearly achieved it now! The vast land can arrange surplus labor. A large number of workers who were originally engaged in military production can quickly turn into farmers or contribute to the construction of new territories. And the oil fields in Transcaucasus can continuously make up for the government's fiscal deficit. Coupled with the loans from the Americans, Bavaria can easily overcome the short-term difficulties after the war. Then relying on the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the German Empire, enter the fast lane of development! Therefore, if the Poles can repair the earth in Africa with some money, it is also a good choice, isn't it?
"But you still divided Poland again! You turned a complete Poland into Silesia, Galicia, and Poznan. And now, the former Russian Poland has been divided into small pieces again! This result is very important to us. It's unacceptable," Roman said.
"For Bavaria, the biggest concession is to allow the Polish region of our country to establish a province with an area of about 40,000 square kilometers. The Poles will have certain autonomy in this province. This is already the limit of what we can do We can’t control the Austro-Hungarian Empire. And Prussia? I think no matter who is in power, after the war, Prussia’s Poland will be divided into several provinces. This is the result of yourselves, don’t blame us.” Caliput said the Count.
"In fact, there is no need to waste too much time on this issue. There are many things that don't need to be considered so far away. In short, our request is very simple. We can't control the Prussian-controlled area, but if you can cooperate with our work, then Bavaria and Austria. Poles in the territory controlled by the Hungarian Empire can enjoy normal citizenship treatment.
And you can properly take care of your national feelings. that is it. If you don't want to, we'll see. "Earl Caliput's words showed a trace of impatience.
"It was absolutely the worst negotiation I've ever had," Roman Drowski said.
"Then what is your choice?" Count Caliput pressed on, showing no intention of giving in.
"My colleagues and I will be engaged in some social and people's livelihood work. If the authorities do not harm our legitimate interests, we will not take actions that are detrimental to your government. However, we request to preserve the Polish language, cultural traditions and Independent Polish language newspaper and publishing house," said Roman Drowski.
"However, in terms of education, German must be listed as one of the compulsory subjects, and all government documents must have a German version. Moreover, when the local government communicates with the central government, we will only communicate with people who understand German. In addition, local The government must not restrict the flow of personnel, let alone set up thresholds for Germans entering the province. We will send some officials to enter government agencies, such as police, prisons, courts, etc., and there must be German nationals. For the central government The local government has only the right to make suggestions and no veto power for the judgments and orders issued!" Earl Caliput said.
"Our rights are not even as good as Bohemians." Hearing what Caliput said, Roman Drowski felt unprecedentedly disappointed. After all, in the era of the Russians, the Polish local government still had a parliament of!
"That's natural. The Bohemians have made great contributions to the victory of the war. They deserve better rights. But you are just the opposite." The earl said righteously.
"Well, I agree in principle, but some details still need to be finalized." In the end, when the situation was stronger than others, Roman Drovsky finally decided to give in. At present, he can only choose to cooperate with the Bavarian government, starting from the former Russian Polish region controlled by Bavaria. As for whether he can once again establish a political party covering the entire former Russian Polish region in the future, it depends I can see the situation.
"Well, I hope we have a happy cooperation. Time will prove that the choice you made today will be correct." Earl Caliput nodded. He is very satisfied with today's negotiation. Now that the principled matters have been negotiated, all that remains is for other personnel to finalize other details according to the basic framework above. Caliput recalled the timetable, and he had to go back quickly, otherwise, the affairs in Hungary should be handled by Admiral Buhler!
