Chapter 1845: Condition One
When little Maoqi walked into the barracks of Frederick the Great again, he felt that things were different, and the layout and furnishings were exactly the same as before. He also knew all the people who were in charge of welcoming them, and they all used to be his subordinates. But looking at the alienated expressions of Crook and the others in front of him, little Moqi knew that the generals standing in front of him did not welcome his arrival very much.
"What time is it?" Little Maoqi asked.
"9 o'clock in the morning, Your Excellency the General." The attendant next to him replied.
"Very good, it seems that those old guys are still saving face." Xiao Maoqi said in his heart, from now on, he has half a small time to communicate with the bosses on the opposite side alone, and after this period of time, the situation is afraid It's different. Because in half an hour, Prince Leopold will be here!
"Little General Maoqi, you must have received the telegram from General Mackensen. He suggested that His Majesty the Emperor can consider holding talks with the parliament to solve the problem as soon as possible. We want to know your opinion. Of course, I hope you'd better stand on the side of the Empire Consider this issue from the perspective of the nation and the nation, rather than the allegiance to a certain person, after all, we are for this country." After a short greeting, Crook first said that in terms of etiquette, the German generals on the opposite side gave He received a very high courtesy from Xiao Maoqi, and asked Xiao Maoqi to state his opinion first. All, these masters of the German officer corps will be listening.
"Ebert wants to completely change the structure of the empire. He wants to break the situation where the Junker nobles and the emperor control the empire, not only to expand the power of the parliament, but also to reform the government system. Of course, the most important thing is the army, maybe It won't be long before the Minister of War or the Chief of Staff of the Empire may be appointed by a civil servant who doesn't know where to pick it. There is no doubt that all of us, the interests of the army and the interests of the aristocracy will be seriously lost. "
"Although His Majesty's policy has made some mistakes, overall, the empire is still extremely powerful. We have broken the order of the old world in this war, and the empire will inevitably usher in a more brilliant tomorrow. Why can't we be more tolerant, How about giving His Majesty a chance? At least, the Emperor had maintained a very good relationship with us before, and His Majesty understands our difficulties, so he will not blame us." Little Mao Qi said.
"Then what is His Majesty's purpose? Complete restoration to the previous state? Or do you agree to give up some rights to settle peacefully? Do you still think we can use force to solve all problems?" Crook asked.
"Your Majesty still wants to go back to the past. He can give up the title of emperor, but he must be the king of Prussia. The real king." Mo Qi said with some embarrassment. In fact, when the little Maoqi had considered the issue of peace talks very early, especially now, relying on the Kaiser's obvious advantages, the little Maoqi thought that this time is the best time for peace talks, otherwise when the parliamentary faction realizes that the military and Germany When the differences between the emperors are a bit big, it will be difficult to handle. However, Moltke cannot be the master of the Kaiser, so up to the current position, the Kaiser still has not finalized his bottom line and conditions!
"Your Majesty's thoughts are too optimistic. The actual situation may disappoint His Majesty. As for forgiving Your Majesty's mistakes? Let everything go back to the past? I can only say that His Majesty the Emperor is not ready to take over a new empire. Believe me, Little General Mao Qi, in the future, the problems that the empire needs to face will be even more complicated, because we are about to change from a country with a population of 70 million to a country with a population of hundreds of millions, and we will change from a single-ethnic country to a multi-ethnic country. The empire The territory has more than doubled. And now, the emperor still wants to govern the country in the way he used to? This is simply a dream." After General Crook finished speaking, he tidied up and signaled General Maoqi to listen to him.
"True,
Under the current circumstances, His Majesty the Emperor really wants to consolidate the regime first. I can understand this, but in this case, Albert and others have also proposed their own future governance concepts. Of course, you can say that they are buying people's hearts, but we must say that they have indeed considered this aspect better than Germany. His Majesty more. "Krook said as he took out a piece of paper from the attendant and handed it to Little Maoqi.
"First of all, regarding the division of new territories in the future, the Social Democratic Party's opinion is that not only Prussia and Bavaria will participate in the division, but other kingdoms and grand duchies will also participate in it. This avoids the overhang of the newly added provinces of the empire. In this regard, it is obvious that it is showing favor to the vast majority of forces within the empire, which His Majesty the Emperor did not expect." Crook said.
"This is undoubtedly exchanging the interests of Prussia and Bavaria for the support of other states. Leaving aside the Prussian side, the Kingdom of Bavaria will not agree with this opinion. You know, for part of Poland's territory, Crown Prince Ruprecht even I don't hesitate to turn against the Kaiser." Xiao Moqi shook his head and said.
"No, Your Excellency General, the Kingdom of Bavaria agrees with this opinion in principle, and said that it will divide some of the territory it currently controls into other kingdoms." Admiral Howson said.
"Why did this happen?" Little Moqi couldn't understand. In his opinion, Ruprecht is steadfast on the territorial issue.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not a person who eats alone. He has similar opinions with Albert and others on the issue of new territories. It is necessary to ensure the balance of power within the empire. It should not be dominated by one family or a few. After all, we are Let's win this war together."
"From the perspective of the composition of power within the empire, the core is the federal parliament, and the votes of the federal parliament are determined by the population of each state. Before, during the prime minister Bismarck's time, the empire compensated the weak states by weakening the votes of the strong countries. Now , there is a better way, if other states can also get a share of the spoils of the Eastern Front, then their population will also increase, and there is no need to force a balance through administrative means. And let everyone from the empire Sharing Manulife is also very beneficial to the unity within the empire."
"Of course, there is another possibility that this time, Bavaria fought too well in the winter offensive. They took too much food and couldn't eat it themselves, so they gave some to others." Grand Duke Tenberg said with a smile, making a good-natured joke.
Little Maoqi didn't speak. After all, from the perspective of wooing, Albert and others did much better than the Kaiser. You must know that even in this situation, the Kaiser still didn't think about sharing part of the war. Bonus to win over other states! This kind of behavior is obviously eating alone in the eyes of other countries!
