Chapter 1847 Bavaria's Proposal One

The Grand Duke snorted, agreeing, and the Prussian generals present also breathed a sigh of relief. This meeting is to discuss the future of Germany. If it abducts the conflict of interests between Prussia and other states, something will happen! Moreover, to be honest, including Crook, even though the entire German Western Front Army was behind them, they still lacked confidence when facing Prince Leopold.

Because, you are just generals, and he is a prince, you only represent the army, and he is a country! Does this make a difference? Of course there is! For example, in the former, you are a general now, but can you guarantee that you will be a general for the rest of your life? Can you guarantee that you will not retire? But Leopold will be the real prince for life! This kind of hereditary replacement is no joke. As for the latter? The army is only part of the country's power, not to mention that there are still many problems within the German army on the western front. So whether it's fighting for personal status or the background behind it, Crook and others really have no advantage.

"Little General Maoqi, I hope you will be cautious in the next meeting. After all, it doesn't matter if we hear some words, but if some people hear them, the consequences will be very serious. And we can't help you." Crook went up Said to Little Moqi with a complicated expression.

"Thank you." Little Moqi is really about to cry now, the original plan to ease the relationship and attract foreign aid not only failed completely, but even made a feud, this is a big deal. In fact, this time, Little Mao Qi really planned to let the Grand Duke of Baden come. As a result, Crook and others made it clear that it was obviously inappropriate for a purely political figure to participate in a military meeting, so the request of the Grand Duke of Baden to participate in the meeting was rejected. . Of course, the real reason is that Crook and others are worried that their meeting with the Grand Duke of Baden will be maliciously interpreted or kidnapped by the outside world. And what about little Maoqi? No matter what, he is a soldier!

"Generals, Prince Leopold is here." At this moment, an attendant came in to report to the generals.

"Okay, let's forget about the unpleasant things just now. We are going to meet the hero of the Eastern Front of the Empire, not a prince. His contribution should not be obliterated because of other status." After finishing speaking, Crook was the first Standing up, he also signaled General Pinov and Little Mao Qi with his eyes to let them pay more attention.

"Welcome, Prince Leopold." Crook and others greeted Prince Leopold and his entourage outside the gate. My colleagues, they are full of energy and high spirits. This kind of good mental outlook is completely different from that of the German army on the western front. Apart from the recent troubles in Prussia, on the eastern front, the Bavarian Army is advancing triumphantly. , but on his side it was difficult to advance in the muddy trench. This morale gap is too great!

In this regard, Crook and others said that they obviously suffered a disadvantage in the first confrontation, and the morale and the situation obviously affected the following talks.

"On behalf of the Kingdom of Bavaria and Crown Prince Ruprecht on the Eastern Front, I would like to express my sincere respect for the contributions of the Imperial Army on the Western Front, and I would like to express my appreciation to all of you for sticking to your posts at this critical moment." Prince Leopold said . Then the group returned to the meeting room to prepare for today's formal meeting.

The whole venue was arranged casually, and everyone sat around together. Crook is to the north, next to General Howson and Admiral Plittwitz, these three people can be regarded as representing the Prussian military. Little Moltke and General Pinov are relatively close, which can be regarded as a line close to the Kaiser. And Prince Leopold and the Grand Duke of Württemberg sit together on the south side, and they represent the second and third largest hills in the empire respectively...  

"Presumably through yesterday's briefing, you already know the content of our talks? Now we want to hear the attitude of the Kingdom of Bavaria.

"General Crook said.

"What was yesterday's briefing? Why didn't I know?" Crook opened his mouth, and the little Mao Qi beside him frowned. The expression is very unhappy.

"It is the navy's negotiation proposal and the conditions of the Social Democratic Party. The reason why Prince Leopold was notified in advance is that he needs to contact Crown Prince Ruprecht. There is no other meaning." General Pinov explained embarrassingly. road. However, even though it is emphasized that there is no other meaning, it is clear that Mao Qi was caught off guard this time. Perhaps, seeing the Kaiser's true attitude is the real purpose of these generals? At this moment, little Mo Qi speculated about his former colleagues with the greatest malice.

"Let's talk about peace. Do you want to fight a big war at home?" Prince Leopold replied very simply. When someone proposed peace talks, and the top German army also had this intention, the prince would naturally not confuse himself. Attitude. At the same time, this is also considered to be in line with the people's will. After all, there is not much difference between ordinary people whether the highest level is the emperor or the parliament. No one wants to fight a big war with their own people on their own land.

"What about the attitude of the Kingdom of Bavaria towards both sides?" Crook asked.

"The title of emperor can be retained, and the political system of each state remains the same. The interests of all those who participated in the war and made contributions must be respected, whether they are civilians, middle class or nobles! And all, in this war Those who are dragging their feet must be investigated!" said Prince Leopold.

"But the Social Democratic Party is the biggest drag. They should be completely wiped out!" Little Maoqi said. "Do you agree that we arrest some of them? Ebert, for example? Then we negotiate with the moderates of the Social Democrats?"

"Ebert is considered to have different political opinions, and there is a reason for this kind of thing to happen, but Scheidemann has no reason to escape punishment. Before negotiations, this kind of person must be dealt with! There are also people who hoard strange goods in the empire. War wealth! It must also be attacked!" said Prince Leopold.

"Your Excellency, you are avoiding the important ones! Albert is the mastermind behind the scenes, and Scheideman is just a clown jumping on the stage." Little Mo Qi wanted to fight again.

"If you want to talk about slowing things down, William II has done a lot, and Bavaria has no intention of pursuing it. To be honest, we are very dissatisfied with some actions of the Kaiser in the middle and late stages of the war! And we also have no intention of pursuing it now." Lee Prince Obold said.

"He is His Majesty the Emperor! How can you hold His Majesty accountable?" Xiao Maoqi said in surprise. However, just before little Maoqi wanted to say these words, Admiral Hao Sen, who was on Xiao Maoqi's right hand, immediately stopped Xiaomaoqi and motioned him not to say any more.
