Chapter 2262 Stormy Storm Four

Although Germany is now divided into three parts, Bavaria, Kaiser Prussia and Federal Prussia all have their own systems, but the imperial government still has a lot of power, such as taxation, education, transportation, postal services, military affairs, and righteousness. ! As the successor of the old Prussia, both the Kaiser and the parliament faction have the ability to compete for the power of the central government. Regardless of religion or history, whoever forms a cabinet is possible. Therefore, interests determine policy, and Bavaria has nothing to do with the central government on important issues. As long as it does not go too far, the state of Bavaria will not be much different from before the war. But for the Kaiser and the parliament faction, there is no room for maneuver in the struggle for power in the central government!

Therefore, at this time, the Grand Duke of Baden would rather suffer a little loss and form an alliance with Bavaria to deal with the Parliament faction, rather than risking the temptation to get more points to form an alliance with the Parliament faction to calculate Bavaria. The risks and benefits of this tm are simply out of proportion!

"Politically speaking, your choice is correct, but do you know how many people, whether it is us or the parliamentary faction, are waiting to share the war reparations, ranging from nobles, capitalists, ordinary civilians and soldiers, They are all waiting to share the war dividends! We even need to use these war reparations to pay military pensions and disability subsidies! We need to use this money to repay loans! After the war, the military shackles are gone, but our necks There is also a rope called the economy! We don’t have many choices.” This time, the Kaiser said to the Grand Duke of Baden in a rarely harsh tone.

Doesn't the Kaiser know the political risks involved? of course I know! It's just that you know some things, and you have to make a choice! As the Kaiser, he actually represents the interests of a large number of people, including nobles, old-fashioned Junker officers, political parties inclined to the royal family, and some citizens. Everyone chose you because they thought you could lead everyone to gain more benefits. , and if something goes wrong in the final distribution of benefits, who can guarantee that there will be no problems within the unstable Kaiser faction just after a political turmoil?

Money is not everything, but no money is absolutely impossible! Therefore, what the Kaiser and the Grand Duke of Baden said made sense, but the Kaiser chose one of the two bad choices from the perspective of the leader, and the Grand Duke of Baden was from the perspective of the staff. Angle expressed his distrust of the Parliament faction!

"Actually, we can have a frank and honest talk with Crown Prince Ruprecht. The Crown Prince can definitely think of the issues we discussed, and compared to the dishonest parliamentarians, His Highness the Crown Prince's reputation is still very good. At least from the current point of view, no matter whether it is an agreement reached publicly or privately, it has never broken its promise. Although it is a bit of a joke to pin the hope of success on someone's reputation, but if I have to choose, I think this is a good way .” Xiao Maoqi thought for a while and said.

"Hehe, brother, do you think the same way?" The Kaiser said after looking at the Grand Duke of Baden.

"Get ready with both hands." The Grand Duke of Baden thought for a while and decided to give the Kaiser a step.

"Very well, I will let Prince Albert contact the other duchies. The parliament will send Holweg to contact you, and you will contact Bavaria." The Kaiser thought for a while and said.

In the end, the Kaiser decided to walk on two legs, so what are the Reichstags up to now? What are Albert, Landsberg, Barthes, Hasse, and Dittmann discussing?

"The tentative signal has been sent, but the Kaiser has not made a clear statement." Landsberg, the right wing of the Social Democratic Party, said first.

"It's normal. Compared with Bavaria, we have more conflicts with the Kaiser. It would be abnormal for the Kaiser to agree to it in one go.

’ said Barthes, of the Social Democratic centrist.

"We're all doing this for the good of Germany, aren't we? We're not trying to take what Bavaria deserves, but we want to keep Austro-Hungary out. After all, there are more than 4 million British and French troops in barbed wire and trenches on the Western Front. We are the ones who have played for more than 2 years! Not Bavaria, let alone Austria!" Landsberg said.

"So you think the Kaiser should stand with us?" Barthes asked.

"At least on this issue, we can reach some intentions. The gains from this war are not as great as we expected. We have lost too much national power and money. After the war, it is impossible for Britain and France to pay enough in a short time. So, in this case, we can only do this, win some and let go." Landsberg said.

"We want to exclude Austria and weaken Bavaria, but how do you ensure that the Kaiser chooses an alliance with us instead of Bavaria?" asked Hasse of the Social Democratic centrist.

Someone may ask, why didn't the Social Democratic Party choose to form an alliance with Bavaria? The reason for this is from the governance philosophy and goals of the Social Democratic Party. Albert and others are pursuing it. Otherwise, a politician can’t get to this point by relying on his wrists. You must have your own ideas and programs , and let a group of people follow you sincerely, so that you can succeed!

The rule of the Kaiser and the Junker aristocracy must be eradicated, and a country within a country like Bavaria also needs to be eliminated! Under the current situation, Bavaria is the strongest in Germany, and it has a close relationship with Austria-Hungary. Therefore, in the eyes of Albert and others, this kind of Bavaria, which is the largest and has too close ties with foreign countries, at least cannot get too much. If there are too many interests, otherwise it will make the empire's internal tail end. It can be said that the idea of ​​Albert and others is a bourgeois political party with a national nature, while the Kaiser is more based on the interests of the regime and the state. There is also a certain difference between the positions of the two sides!

"Let's not talk about Bavaria. At least, the Kaiser should have a similar view to us on the issue that Austria should not receive a lot of indemnities from the Western Front. After all, apart from some heavy artillery support and the last battle to boost Bavaria's momentum, Austria did not They have not made any contribution on the Western Front, so why should they share the interests of the Western Front? We give Austria part of the benefits just to take care of the face of our allies." Landsberg said.

"Bavaria and Austria are actually one. Letting Bavaria reap some benefits is actually giving Austria. To be honest, Crown Prince Ruprecht's marriage is a stain on him in North Germany. It is said that he and Mary The princess will stay in Austria in the future. Even for this reason, Ruprecht has to consider avoiding suspicion for his own reputation." Dittmann said.
