Chapter 2366: Prime Minister and Admiral II
"From your answer, you have always avoided the issue of the placement of ordinary officers and soldiers, and also avoided the issue of reforming the national system. You have been thinking about how to maintain the Junker nobles you represent and the pro-imperial power for His Majesty the Emperor. The interests of capitalists, this is no different from the past. From a social perspective, your so-called change is nothing more than a group of new dignitaries replacing the old dignitaries." Admiral Crook said calmly.
"Well, both nobles and civilians paid a huge price for the war, and the nobles got compensation from the war, so what about the common people? What did they get? They are the most vulnerable group in this society, and they don't have a rich family background. , they have the worst ability to resist risks, but when it comes to distributing the spoils, they get the least. In Prussia, the Junker nobles can own thousands of hectares of land, they can have factories, but what do the common people have?" General Crook asked rhetorically.
"We will arrange all the veterans' affairs. We have our own plan, but it takes time. You should know that the resettlement of retired personnel in Kaiser Prussia is far better than that of Parliament Prussia." Prime Minister Holweg finally Realizing where his mistake was, General Crook in front of him was not a nobleman. Perhaps his current status was already higher than most nobles, but he did not pursue these things.
On the contrary, for this veteran, how to make the hundreds of thousands of officers and soldiers who follow him have a good home is the most important thing! And I just ignored the soldiers with the highest proportion. But this is also something that can't be helped, after all, there are too many ordinary soldiers. Vulnerable groups are generally ignored. And the so-called analgesia after the war is also borne by them, and it has nothing to do with those who shouted and endured the pain, because they are rich and powerful!
"The structure of this society is still the same as before. The nobles have seized too many resources, and their power is too great, which has compressed the interests of other classes. Then at an appropriate time, the turmoil of the Social Democratic Party will repeat itself, but it is It’s just another reincarnation, well, I’m not a politician, and I’m wrong about some issues, just take the issues I’ve been thinking about and researching for now.”
Admiral Crook pointed to the documents on the table and said: "My current job is to resettle retired officers and soldiers. Even in extraordinary times, I have not let go of my work. From the current point of view, whether it is your Excellency The proposals put forward are still far inferior to Bavaria in Prussia's placement of retired soldiers. This is not because His Majesty the Kaiser and you are not capable enough, but a matter of mentality and position."
"We have gained a lot of benefits from this war. A lot of land, compensation, and mineral resources. If we distribute them reasonably, it will make the empire stronger, but human nature is greed, endless greed! So some People want to gain excess benefits through privileges. Someone once gave me a vivid metaphor to explain why some people always like to fight among themselves.”
"Because of the internal distribution of interests, the powerful is the one with a knife in his hand. He can decide how to distribute the cake, but it is difficult for the weak to stop. He can use his strength to obtain very good benefits, unlike competing with outsiders, One benefit for one effort. A decree can make countless people go bankrupt, and a small number of people can go to heaven. It is not good to do this, it is a disaster for the country, and someone must uphold justice. In Bavaria, Crown Prince Ruprecht is the one who upholds justice, so in Germany, who is the one who upholds justice? His Majesty the Kaiser?" Admiral Crook said.
"In Kaiser Prussia, most of the unowned land was auctioned off or allocated to meritorious nobles, and the equity of minerals was also opened to high-level officials. But in Bavaria? A considerable part of the land was collected by the state for decommissioning officers and soldiers,
A certain proportion of the oil fields and various minerals controlled by Bavaria are used to accommodate retired officers and soldiers, and the distribution of spoils is more balanced. And His Majesty the Kaiser is not unable to do it, not because he does not want to do it, because he believes that more resources should be held in the hands of the Junker nobles who support him, but he just forgot that the cornerstone of war victory is the efforts of tens of millions of civilians As a result of fighting and working, they give the most and get the least. So, I don't think that under the auspices of His Majesty, your so-called future will be as good as it is described. "Admiral Crook said.
Ruprecht's theory is not only used to persuade Hassey, but also used to "brainwash" Crook and others! Obviously, the Crown Prince's theory is very attractive to Crook and others! "Brainwashing" effect MAX! Of course, this is also inseparable from the pertinence. Crook was born in the civilian class and has a relatively high moral level, so the effect is good. For anyone else, the crown prince thought that perhaps "strong" persuasion would be better.
"If I talk about my senses of the German emperors, His Majesty William I is a great man. He realized the unification of the empire, and he appointed the wise Prime Minister Bismarck and gave him the greatest degree of trust. Although His Majesty and the Prime Minister maintained the royal power, Protecting the interests of the nobles, but after all, also taking care of the interests of the people."
"His Majesty Frederick III is an enlightened person. He allows more voices within the empire. Under his governance, the entire empire is stable and orderly. He is not a man of great talent, but he is a very good conservative Your Majesty."
"Then there is His Majesty William II. His Majesty William I likes his grandson very much, and said that he is very similar to himself. I want to say that he is very similar in ambition, but he is very different in terms of wrist, ability, and bearing. .Maybe William is not a tyrant, but he has absolutely nothing to do with good qualities such as wisdom, tolerance, etc. He can wantonly beat those respected old generals, he can beat the heirs of the state. I don't like it!"
"Let's talk about ability. His Majesty William I's ability is not particularly outstanding, but he has the ability to know people. He discovered the talented Prime Minister Bismarck and gave him great trust. And what about His Majesty Frederick III? He has no similar Prime Minister Bismarck is assisted by someone like Prime Minister Bismarck, but he has self-knowledge and never does things beyond his own capabilities. But His Majesty William II is not like this. He is arrogant, arrogant, and limited in ability. For this kind of person let him rule such a world Overlord, I am really worried!" Crook said.
