Chapter 2342: Killer One
Although Ruprecht knows that this political struggle over the distribution of compensation is not good for anyone, although Ruprecht has released a certain amount of goodwill in the hope of easing the tense relationship between each other, And prepare for both parties to back down a little so that conflicts can be avoided and differences can be sought.
However, Ruprecht will never pin all his hopes on his own goodwill in exchange for the other party's goodwill! Politics has always been a more dangerous place than the battlefield! Here, do you pin your hopes on each other's well-intentioned responses and the other's overall view? Isn't this funny? Therefore, Ruprecht must prepare for a showdown that may happen at any time!
Well, now that we are ready for a showdown, Ruprecht must find a suitable opponent! It is irrational to fight against the parliament faction and the Kaiser at the same time. It is the same as war. At any time, in a battle, you can only have one core goal, one core opponent!
And the method of this battle is obviously impossible to be as fierce as the confrontation on the battlefield. To put it bluntly, the method is to use the various contradictions after the current domestic war to carry out planned intensification and control, so that the opponent realizes that his rule has become unstable. Therefore, concessions are needed in exchange for regime stability. Ruprecht is not trying to overthrow the Kaiser or the Parliament faction. On the one hand, it is because the power is not enough. On the other hand, it will cause unpredictable disputes and turmoil. Ruprecht just wants to make some troubles for some people , a reminder. Swap out individuals when necessary. Then finally passed a favorable agreement for the crown prince!
The Kaiser Prussia is not a suitable target. Apart from the issue of strength, the biggest advantage of the Kaiser Prussia is stability. You can say that the Kaiser is the representative of the Junker nobles and a remnant of feudalism. But it is undeniable that because Kaiser Prussia has almost inherited the previous administrative management system and has not changed much. Although these bureaucrats have various problems, it cannot be denied that their work efficiency is still acceptable. A stable regime and Experienced officials can resolve various current problems relatively smoothly. The Junker nobles who controlled the German army were also happy to cooperate with the Kaiser. Therefore, it is inappropriate for Ruprecht to act against the Kaiser.
And the Prussian Confederation of the Parliament is a good target. Think about it, even Heinrich Lehard of Rheinmetall can see that the current Parliament faction is strong from the outside, how can Ruprecht not see it? ? The premise of planning contradictions is that there must be contradictions, and it is best to intensify the original contradictions, so that you can easily control them!
After finding an opponent, the crown prince still needs a suitable entry point, an entry point that can make the parliamentarians feel threatened, and at the same time not make the Kaiser feel uneasy. After all, if Ruprecht grasps a problem that can make both the Reichstag and the Kaiser feel uneasy at the same time, then the Kaiser is likely to choose to deal with Bavaria with the Reichstag, because today you can use This weapon is used against the parliament, so tomorrow it can also be used against the Kaiser....
After a long period of thinking with his staff, Ruprecht finally discovered a situation that was fatal to the parliamentarians and had little influence on the Kaiser. And after the operation, there may be an entry point for Bavaria to obtain additional benefits, and this entry point is the placement of army personnel!
First of all, this issue is a very important and difficult issue, not only for the parliamentary faction, but also for the Kaiser and Bavaria. Each of these three states has more than 7 figures of officers and soldiers to be resettled! Who should retire and who should remain in the military? How to divert the retired manpower? How to protect their lives, how to reorganize those who serve in the army? These are all problems.
It can even be said that this problem is not only a headache for the victors of the First World War on this plane,
Historically, the Allied Powers, who were also victorious nations, had trouble dealing with this issue. For example, in the United Kingdom, except for places like Australia with a vast land and sparse population, where soldiers can be resettled by desperately granting land, both the United Kingdom and France are very difficult to resettle veterans, but what about the so-called smooth Australia? It also took 5 years to complete the resettlement. As for the United States? Hehe, one of MacArthur's early stains was also stained at this time. For example, in 1932 MacArthur's suppression of World War I veterans.
Faced with this problem, different states have different difficulties in dealing with it. Naturally, Bavaria is the most convenient to deal with. Even if the Transcaucasus region is not counted, Bavaria has obtained up to 270,000 square kilometers of land from the Eastern Front! Although there are about 15 million other populations above, the population density is not high. You must know that before the war, Bavaria had a population of more than 12 million, but its area was only 78,000 square kilometers. Now, the area of the kingdom has increased by more than 3.5 times. The population has more than doubled, which means that there is a lot of land that can be used for distribution! This is arithmetic addition. Now let's do the subtraction.
Although Ruprecht has to arrange for more than 1 million officers and soldiers. But these troops are not all from Bavaria, but also from Bohemia, and Bohemia still belongs to the Austro-Hungarian Empire politically. Hundreds of thousands of Bohemian retired soldiers can use the newly added territory of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Therefore, even if Ruprecht uses the most stupid method, directly by arranging agricultural land for a considerable number of retired soldiers, a considerable part of the population can be digested. After all, according to the standards of later generations, a country with an area of 350,000 square kilometers has a population of less than 30 million. This population density is really not high, and the territory that Ruprecht obtained is not bad, most of which are plains.
Then there is Kaiser Prussia. According to a series of agreements reached before, Kaiser Prussia inherited almost half of the territory of Old Prussia, which is about 180,000 square kilometers, and half of the 320,000 square kilometers allocated to Old Prussia also fell into the into the hands of the Kaiser. That is 160,000 square kilometers. If we simply look at the ratio of population and land, the distribution pressure of the Kaiser is obviously higher than that of Bavaria, and because the Kaiser is the representative of the Junker nobles, and the Junker nobles have two fundamental points in Germany. , One is the army, and the other is land, which greatly hinders the Kaiser's plan to allocate land to accommodate veterans.
Well, although there are big problems, after all, a lot of new territories have been added, and these places need to be developed. In addition, the Kaiser directly inherited the original administrative system after all, and the efficiency of work is guaranteed. Coupled with the support of the Junker nobles in the army, it is impossible to quickly arrange millions of officers and soldiers, but it is no problem to ensure the basic life of these people and prevent turmoil. After all, the system and structure are there.
