Chapter 2363: Enemy and Friend II
"After the end of the war, both Bavaria and other states need a stable environment to digest the gains from the war. Therefore, Bavaria has no great interest in the current central government. I have always believed that under the premise of not interfering in Bavaria's internal affairs, , it is always easier for two parties to reach a compromise than three parties, but the result disappointed me. You mistook the kingdom’s goodwill for weakness. We took one step back, but you took ten steps forward, which made me very angry and disappointed. You and There is no difference between those who only know how to fight. So, I must teach you a lesson and remove some people from politics for good. After all, sometimes force is more effective than persuasion," Ruprecht said.
"However, the Kaiser was also involved in this matter." Hasse said in a low voice.
"If there is no problem with my intelligence channels, you guys first communicated with the Kaiser about this matter. Am I right? You are the ones who initiated the crime, and the key is that you are the weakest, so this is another truth in this world , Weakness is the original sin, and backwardness will be beaten!" The crown prince replied very simply.
"Well, you are in the upper hand, you have the final say." Hassey said gloomily.
"I thought you wanted to thank me?" said the Crown Prince.
"Thank you? You are treating us like the defeated ones now, why should we thank you?" Hasse said dissatisfied.
"It's very simple. As I said just now, some people should completely disappear from the political arena, and someone from the Social Democratic Party will naturally have to replace them. Think about it, counting the earliest Scheidemann, if Albert resigns this time , if Buhler is neutral, then within the Social Democratic Party, is the center or the right wing dominant?" Ruprecht said with great interest.
"You chose to cooperate with us? Hehe, I feel that you are more skilled in the field of political conspiracy than us." There was a touch of sarcasm in Hasse's words.
"At present, it is you, but if you refuse, then other people can choose, such as the Social Democratic left, and other political parties are all possible." Ruprecht shut up Hassey with one sentence , it is true that the Social-Democratic Left has more radical factions like the Spartacus, but there are also more moderate ones. Moreover, during the civil strife this time, the Social Democratic centrists and the right wing did not thoroughly cleanse the left wing as they did in history, because they couldn’t do it. After all, in history, it was the joint army of the centrists and the Yuan right wing that suppressed it, and this plane is much worse. , The so-called cleansing is not to eliminate, but to make the other party lose its rights. Therefore, people are still there, as long as there is external support, they can be pulled up.
"Okay, it seems that you guys think it would be better to cooperate with me, and our point of view has gone a step further, so okay, let me talk about the third point, which is also one of the principles that we need to follow in future cooperation First, we must avoid populism. For projects or things that may arouse public dislike or lose money in the short term, but may bring great benefits to the empire in the long run, we must support and go on firmly. One person Success requires suppressing one's own desires in many ways, and a price needs to be paid, and the same is true for a country. The loss of materials, money, and public opposition are all prices we need to pay, but we must persist." Ruprecht said.
What the crown prince said is the importance of national will. Some things need to be carried out resolutely despite all difficulties. For example, TG has launched two bombs and one satellite in history. With the development of science and technology, the more cutting-edge technology needs to pay more, such as the US emperor who engaged in the Manhattan Project in World War II. In order to ensure the smooth progress of the project, the Americans even have to transfer electricity from across the country. When copper wire is not enough to make wires,
Even used silver. (Silver is more conductive!) This kind of project will bring huge pressure to people's livelihood, but you can't do it if you don't do it. If a political party can give up these for the sake of votes, then the crown prince will never allow it. Some projects could not be done by the Bavarian family, and needed to unite the power of the entire German Empire. Therefore, the crown prince must now find a reliable partner.
It is not good to find the Kaiser, because Kaiser Prussia itself is stronger than the parliamentary faction. According to the principle that the boss and the second child are naturally hostile, and the boss and the third child are friends, the Kaiser has the ambition and idea to restore the old Prussia, while the parliamentary faction It is estimated that it would be nice to be able to make a state well. In this case, in the future, you can only cooperate with the weakest parliamentary faction, and it is impossible to cooperate with the Kaiser who is ready to restore imperial power at any time. Otherwise, once the old Prussia has risen. As far as the Kaiser's ability is concerned, Ruprecht is really not optimistic that this guy can manage the new empire well! That being the case, the crown prince would rather control the empire with his allies, and let William II be a nominal emperor and king of Prussia honestly.
"Actually, there is another very important reason why you choose to cooperate with us. If you are not satisfied with us, you can replace us with others. William II is at least the king of Prussia. He has been king all his life. His His son is worse than him! So once you have a disagreement, it may be more troublesome to deal with." Hasai said coldly.
"That's right, you're right. This is also one of the advantages of party politics. When the situation is not good, the party's rulers will take the blame. It is not difficult to replace someone, and it will calm down quickly after going up. The anger of public opinion." Ruprecht nodded and said: "So, I hope that we can cooperate happily in the future, and I also hope that you can grasp your own position."
"Hehe." Hassey snorted dissatisfied.
"Okay, we may be partners in the future, so since it is a cooperation, both parties must be mutually beneficial, and in order to show the sincerity of the Kingdom of Bavaria, as long as you don't stop us, we can help you completely solve the problem of retiring troops. , before this year, we can help you solve at least 250,000 to 300,000 retired officers and soldiers. This will not only solve the stability problem of parliamentary Prussia, but also your political achievements, proving that you are indeed more suitable for governing this country than Albert. "The crown prince said with a smile.
Does this condition look familiar? That's right, it was the condition that Ruprecht gave to Crook and others back then, but this time the crown prince took it out and threw it to Hasai without even packaging it.... And the other party must appreciate it! This operation is absolutely no problem. The reason is simple. For both Crook and Hassey, the problem of military personnel placement is a very difficult problem.
