Chapter 1857: Core Meeting
"Let Bart come here. He is at least from the grassroots. He has rich experience in both government affairs and party affairs, and he is not close to those factory owners and financiers." Hasay thought for a while and said. And Albert agreed.
Hassey is very satisfied with Albert's arrangement. First of all, Albert did not exclude the centrists. At any critical moment, he gave the centrists enough status to ensure the balance of the alliance.
Secondly, from Albert's words, Hasse realized that he had once again reached a consensus with Albert. He chose Barthe over Dittmann because the latter was too close to the financier. Hasai also thought of taking this opportunity to cleanse the domestic economic giants! What is tacit understanding? This is called tacit understanding! In just a few words, the two sides have gained insight into each other's point of view! Then it was agreed!
"Okay, everyone has already understood the general situation. The good news is that at least we will not be regarded as rebels and be handed over and then go to the gallows. The bad news is that we are getting farther and farther away from the German central government! Fortunately, we can compete with the Kaiser for power in Prussia." After introducing the basic situation, Albert said.
"No matter what the result is, we are destined to be unable to achieve our previous goals. Whether it is executive power or legislative power, we can only obtain part of it, and then we will be constrained by the aristocratic faction headed by Wilhelm II. Moreover, compared with the Kaiser, we have the biggest The problem is that we may lose the dominance of the parliament, and the Kaiser is emperor all his life," Hasse said.
In Hassey's view, Germany's internal affairs generally, whether it is the military or other states, their high-level leaders are still more inclined to the Kaiser, at least they are neutral in good faith. They are all trying to limit the rights of political parties. Although the Social Democratic Party can currently control the parliament, this is only legislative power. The executive power from top to bottom is dominated by the Junker nobles, and the Kaiser's crown is even more stable, and even this poor legislative power may be lost. lost in one day. After all, the parliament is also going to be re-elected!
Now, in addition to the legislative power of the parliament, another right that the Social Democrats fought for in this coup is the administrative power in some areas. This is also the most precious weight of the Social Democratic Party so far, except for some military support. Therefore, when Earl Schelling said that the local power seized by the Social Democrats could be retained, Albert immediately agreed.
"So, the purpose of our negotiations this time cannot be limited to parliamentary rights, because negotiations are exchanges. When our opponents accept our demands in the parliament, they will get compensation in other places! Our key this time is to give us It is not a good thing for the empire to have more people enter the government, especially at the grassroots level. There is also the army, and the officer corps controls the entire Prussian army." Hasay put forward his own point of view.
"This is very difficult. It is no longer a day or two for the government offices of the German Empire to be monopolized by nobles. It can even be said that it has been accompanied by Prussia for hundreds of years. It is even more difficult to break this system than to overthrow the Kaiser. We think To use negotiations to establish a system that allows our people to be promoted to the government is tantamount to a dream." Albert shook his head and said.
"Then what about the army?" Hassey looked at Mr. Buhler and asked. To be honest, up to now, the leader of the middle party of the Social Democratic Party has also had a good impression of Buhler. He is the only person who can fight, and his attitude towards people is also very commendable. Buhler seldom interferes with things that are not in his professional field. Never do things that you don't understand or cross the line! In other words, capable and measured!
"In general,
After this war, there will be some changes in the military aristocratic monopoly of the army, but the status of the aristocrats in the army is still very strong. said Buller.
"Why? Because of their network? As far as I know, in this war, thousands of noble families died out, and tens of thousands of nobles died. Coupled with the expansion of the army, there are already Too many jobs are being vacated," Hasse said.
"The influence of the relationship network is there, but the most powerful thing about the officer corps lies in their professional quality. Even if they are nobles, even if they can take shortcuts with the help of relationships, their spirit and professionalism are absolutely excellent! They They can lead the storm commando team, withstand up to 50% of losses in order to win without collapsing, and can completely overwhelm our opponents tactically. Even from a fair point of view, these sword nobles who have been in contact with the military since childhood are more Civilians have too many advantages. And these advantages are exactly what the military needs." Buller said very fairly.
"But after all, there are a lot of empty positions now. Although the imperial army will be abolished after the war, the scale must be larger than before the war. After all, our territory has more than doubled." Hasai said.
"That's right, but the high-level is still monopolized. If a civilian still has the opportunity to gain a high position through war (such as Hindenburg, Ludendorff, etc.) then in peacetime, if the civilian wants to be promoted I'm afraid it will be very difficult, and the top ranks of the army will still be solidified. Look at the generals on the western and eastern fronts, how many of them don't have Feng in front of their names?" Buhler said helplessly.
Buhler's views on the German military officer corps are very contradictory. On the one hand, he hopes that there will be more non-aristocratic class among German military officers in the future, but at the same time, he is also very clear that in terms of efficiency, those noble officers It did play some role in the war, especially the sword nobles of Bavaria, it was really strong! The latter's sense of honor, professionalism and military accomplishment are really not something ordinary people can have.
"So, it is very difficult for us to achieve breakthroughs in legislative power, executive power, and military power? As for the judicial power, I am afraid it is even more impossible?" Barter said on the side.
"Judging from the current situation, the attitude of the people sitting in the auditorium is inclined towards the Kaiser." Albert said with a sigh.
"So it seems that in this case, we have only one path to choose." Barter said: "And this path is very painful, and will bear infamy!"
"Can it solve our legislative, administrative and judicial problems?" asked Abbott.
"Sure," Barter said.
