The Rise of the Empire

Chapter 1873 Conditions of Both Parties One

"It seems that our opinions have diverged again, but at least we have reached an agreement on some issues." The Grand Duke of Baden said.

"Today we have taken a step forward. We all need to go back and think about the next thing. How about we adjourn today?" Barter asked.

"Very well, let's adjourn the meeting. I will let my people inform you of the specific meeting time." Grand Duke Baden nodded. After confirming the other party's attitude, Grand Duke Baden didn't want to stay in the meeting place and make false claims with the other party. As a monarch, he really doesn't want to stay with people sent by the parliament. What's more, he has more important things to do.

Now the situation is very clear. Whether it is the Kaiser or the parliamentary faction, if they want to gain enough benefits in the follow-up negotiations, they must first obtain the support of the Kingdom of Bavaria. Because the officer corps has already been listed as the object of defeat, and the navy is neutral, and Ruprecht has a great influence on the navy, convincing Ruprecht is convincing the navy!

Both sides believe that they have the ability to persuade Bavaria to stand on their side. The Grand Duke of Baden has such confidence because of the aristocratic status of the two parties and the good intersection before. Class attributes and personal emotions determine that the relationship between Ruprecht and the Kaiser is closer. After all, although Wilhelm II has gone too far recently, they have cooperated with each other for 20 years! After giving up unrealistic fantasies, the two parties can still sit down and talk about some things slowly.

As for the parliamentary faction? How should I put it, historically speaking, the relationship between Ruprecht and the parliamentary faction has never been harmonious. For this political party, whether it is the memory of the prince's own previous life or the experience of this life, he is very fond of the Social Democratic Party. I don't catch a cold. And the two sides will be hostile from time to time. Therefore, from the perspective of perception, the situation of the parliamentary faction is very bad.

However, this time, the parliamentary faction must win the support of Bavaria again, because the current situation is already obvious, the two sides will divide the 13 provinces below Prussia, and Bavaria in the south may make one of them gain or lose a province with a word ! What is the concept of a province? Probably equivalent to a state! Therefore, at this time, the parliamentary faction must also obtain the support of Bavaria, at least to prevent Bavaria from being too inclined to the Kaiser.

And soon, the Kaiser and the parliament faction sent out a signal requesting contact at the same time. Envoys from both sides arrived in Vienna at the same time. And this also means that the political situation in Germany has also entered the most critical moment, and this annual political drama is about to end! But it's the closing moments that matter the most.

"Your Highness, this is a gift list from the representatives of the Kaiser and the parliament." Count Schelling said to the prince with a smile, and then sent two documents. Since you are asking for help, you must show sincerity, and this sincerity is your interests and benefits.

The Kaiser stated that Bavaria can freely distribute the newly added territory currently under the control of the Bavarian Army and the Bohemian Army, whether it is under its own control or handed over to other states, and expressed its willingness to do so in the areas controlled by Poland and Belarus. Make some concessions. And all these transfers will be confirmed through public statements and will be approved by the Kaiser. At the same time, the Kaiser also stated that in the future, Bavaria can also get a share of overseas colonies. For example, once the Belgian Congo is acquired, Bavaria can delineate some resources such as diamonds, copper mines, and tungsten mines.

Looking at the previous things, the prince didn't care much, because now in the newly added territory, he can definitely get what belongs to him. No one can divide Bavaria's interests without Bavaria's permission. As for the colonies getting a share? This Ruprecht doesn't really care too much,

After all, Prussia after the war will definitely not be able to eat it, and Bavaria will always get some. Moreover, after the area surged, Bavaria couldn't take care of the development of new European territories, and it didn't have much thought about African territories in a short period of time.

But the prince is very concerned about the next benefit! Because in this document, the Kaiser stated that if Bavaria is willing to support the Kaiser, then the Kaiser allows Bavaria to have a veto in the Federal Parliament! This makes Ruprecht feel a little interesting, the veto! This is only available in Prussia, and now, the Kaiser has agreed to let Bavaria also have this veto power! It is impossible to say that the prince does not want it!

Subsequently, the remaining content of the document also introduced the use of this veto power. This veto power does not mean that Bavaria has a quarter of the votes to veto the resolution of the Federal Parliament. Rather, it is a rule outside the system and has nothing to do with the number of votes you have. But if you want the federal parliament to pass its own resolution, then you can only rely on the number of votes.

If you make it clearer, you can understand that if everything remains the same, a total of 58 votes, 50 of which agree, but Bavaria disagrees, then the resolution can be vetoed. But if Bavaria wants the Federal Assembly to pass a certain resolution, it still needs to gather more than 42 votes.

"You seem a little moved?" Earl Schelling looked at the prince and said.

"Yes, the right to veto everything is almost equal to the political status of Prussia. It's a very good offer, and their price is to let the parliamentary faction control the area not beyond the current range, especially the Brandenburg province, At least half should be separated from Berlin to exist as an independent administrative division." The prince closed his eyes, and then took a deep breath to calm himself down. I have to say that such an offer is really good! He needs to calm down and think about this issue.

"It's not difficult to do this, but it doesn't fit our strategy," said the prince after a while. "It is only the splitting of Brandenburg, Lower Saxony, most of eastern Hanover, and parts of Hesse-Nassau that the parliamentary faction now controls cannot effectively weaken Prussia's power. After all, the Rhine-Ruhr area And Alsace-Lorraine, the largest coal and iron region of the empire, is in Prussia, and the Silesia region is also in Prussia. The largest industrial area and textile and chemical areas in Prussia have been preserved. Prussia still has a lot for us. What's more, now, the Kaiser wants to divide the Brandenburg region!"
