Chapter 1880 Birds of a Feather Flock Together and People Are Divided Into Groups

When Bavaria, the Kaiser, and the parliament issued a statement on the convening of a meeting, almost all the states responded positively. Most of the states were visited by the highest leaders such as the grand dukes, dukes, and princes. This meeting is very important for the German Empire. It is of great significance to say that this is not only a meeting to share the results of the battle, but also an adjustment and coordination within the high-level empire. In this meeting that is not the Federal Parliament, but is better than the Federal Parliament, everyone wants to get what they want.

Man is a social creature, and no matter at any time, such things as forming cliques will always appear, and will not change because of the different social status of people. At this point, those social groups and so-called political parties have no essential difference. And this time? When everyone is ready to cut the cake, this kind of gang formation will be more obvious.

"Take a good look, my child, observe everyone carefully, and then distinguish who is a friend and who is an enemy. Before, the relationship you faced was still too simple, but when you really intervene in imperial politics , You will find that you are not enough." King Ludwig III of Bavaria said to Ruprecht.

When the representatives from all parties arrive, before the meeting, the Bavarian royal family as the host will naturally arrange some activities, and the banquet has become the most common situation. In the banquet hall of Neuschwanstein Castle, all kinds of people wait or taste delicious dishes. , or get together to chat about something, and if necessary, you can also go to the small halls around the banquet hall to discuss some more secret things.

"Your Highness, it is a great pleasure to meet you at this meeting." Grand Duke Albrecht, who represented the Kingdom of Württemberg at the meeting, walked slowly to King August III of Saxony and greeted the latter .

"Your Excellency, Your Excellency, you are welcome. You and your legion have made great contributions to the empire on the Western Front. Your ability and contribution are among the best among the royal families of this generation." August III said.

"If it's convenient, can we talk next door? I think there will be a lot of common language between us." Albrecht said. Afterwards, the Grand Duke pointed to a room next to him and said. "As you wish." King Saxon nodded and said.

"I've been on the front line all the time, and I don't know much about the situation in the rear. Could Your Highness share your views and insights on this incident?" Grand Duke Albrecht said. This time, the Kingdom of Württemberg was still somewhat reserved. As the third largest mountain in the empire, the Kingdom of Württemberg still has its own style. The kingdom's industrial foundation itself is relatively good, and in this war, the kingdom itself has paid a very high price and effort. According to the principle of paying for what you get, Württemberg really has a chance to get a relatively big cake Yes, and this time, the Grand Duke just came out to find friends, to find out.

"Even though the crown on our heads still exists, the German Empire will never go back to the past." August III said after a moment of contemplation. As the main states of South Germany, the relationship between Bavaria, Württemberg and Saxony is not bad, so some things can be said more clearly, and unlike Württemberg, the area is only more than 10,000 square kilometers, and the actual strength The Kingdom of Saxony, which is no stronger than the Grand Duchy of Baden, can survive this crisis, relying on the strength of Bavaria. Since they have provided you with help, the King of Saxony must give you a certain reward, both face and face !

In terms of face, the king of Saxony attended the meeting in person, which is a big face. You know, in history, when William I proclaimed himself emperor, other kings were indifferent. None of the three kings came... .. And this time, the King of Württemberg did not attend on the grounds of domestic affairs, but the Crown Prince and Albrecht came.

On the inside, it is Saxony as Bavaria's special envoy to other states to deal with some problems. One of the most important things is to have a friendly exchange with Württemberg, the third largest mountain in the empire! Unlike Saxony, which is almost completely attached to Bavaria this time, Württemberg has some ideas of its own.

"Could you make the matter clearer?" said Albrecht.

"From now on, the empire will enter a period of deep domestic adjustment. We have acquired a large amount of land, resources and population, which will inevitably have a profound impact on the internal structure of the empire. In terms of social class, the original After this war, the aristocratic class can no longer provide enough talents to support the future empire, and a large number of people from other social classes will enrich the government agencies. The royal family must also be more enlightened and capable." August III said.

"What you said is very reasonable. Some dross among the nobles really needs to be dealt with. The future era will pay more attention to ability than blood." As the top nobleman of the empire, Albrecht naturally knows what kind of virtue a German nobleman is. If there are NB, then there must be dross. They are like cancerous tumors attached to each royal family, it will be painful to remove them, and if they are not removed, they will corrode the kingdom's government.

"The other thing is that party politics will be a big part of the future of the empire, and if we want to counter them, why can't Württemberg have its own party?" Saxon said.

"So what about Saxony and Bavaria?" Hearing that the other party specifically mentioned Württemberg, the Grand Duke frowned slightly and asked back.

"Bavaria is also making preparations in this regard. On the one hand, it is to participate in the upper house of the Imperial Parliament, and at the same time, it is also to resist the erosion of the country's political power by foreign parties. You should be very clear that the Catholic Center Party is to us what the Social Democratic Party is to us. Prussia, this kind of party that crosses the boundaries of the state is not so easy to deal with. We can still persist, but some small states may have been emptied!" August III paused and continued: "As for us Saxony, of course, is also preparing for this, but we position ourselves as having a certain influence and emphasizing localization, we cannot become a party dominated by the royal family like Bavaria, and then affect the entire empire!"

"Bavaria's ambition is a bit big." The Grand Duke used a neutral word to describe Bavaria in his heart at this time. "However, Prussia is still deeply rooted." Albrecht thought for a while and said. At this time, he implicitly expressed his concern about Bavaria's lack of strength.
