Chapter 1851: After the Meeting

"What do you think of Prince Leopold's words?" asked Pinov.

"Which sentence?" Crook said a little puzzled.

"That's the sentence, we didn't realize the sinisterness of people's hearts and the corruption of high-level people." Pinov said bitterly: "It seems to say how clean Bavaria is."

"They are indeed much cleaner than us. First of all, Bavaria's aristocratic power is much worse than that of Prussia. They have formed their own class, but they lack the corresponding rights and economic power, so it is more of a name than much. Privileges. Secondly, the capitalists in Bavaria are not as bold as Prussia. They are attached to the state and have limited economic power and political influence. Thirdly, Crown Prince Ruprecht is at least 2 notches stronger than the Kaiser. He is very good Balanced fairness and efficiency, in this regard, they are indeed much cleaner than us." Crook said with a sigh.

"You seem frightened by the prince's words?" Plittwitz said.

"A little bit, because neither Crown Prince Ruprecht nor Prince Leopold would be aimless, and if what they said happened many years later, I might not believe it, but now, if it takes less than If it can be verified in 2 months, then I really believe it." Crook said.

"Then what should we do now?" Admiral Howson asked.

"Wait and see. We can't do anything to weaken Bavaria, so we can only wait for the establishment of the Prussian government. I hope His Majesty the Emperor will not let us down." Crook was actually a little biased towards William II at this time. of the world.

On the night of the meeting, Little Mao Qi reported the results of the entire meeting to the Kaiser and the Grand Duke of Baden. He tried his best to explain the problem in a tactful tone, trying to reduce the irritation to the Kaiser, and this time, perhaps it was unexpected In the middle, perhaps the blow was too great, the Kaiser's reaction was very flat, and it could even be described as indifference! So much so that Xiao Moqi wondered if the Kaiser was going to give up?

"I am in charge of finding some of our people to formulate the future empire planning and negotiation memorandum. Little Maoqi, you are in charge of contacting some personnel in the army, whether they are serving or retired. We need more people to participate, otherwise we are not Opponents of the Social Democrats," said the Archduke of Baden.

"Are we really going to do this?" When it comes to governance ideas, Little Mao Qi is a stick, and he belongs to the kind who doesn't know anything about rolling pins and blowing fire. So he was very against it.

"What else can I do? Win the hearts of the people, promote your own ideas, and slander your opponents, well, these must be done." The Grand Duke of Baden said.

"Okay, I'll do my job well." Little Maoqi finished speaking, then glanced at Empress De and left. Only the Grand Duke of Baden and Kaiser Wilhelm II remained in the house.

"Brother, am I really not suitable to be a king? Since I was born, my father has been teaching me how to be a qualified monarch, and I am also working hard to do it. Why now, when the war is about to When I win, I, as the commander, will actually be defeated?" William II said with some pain, even if he is arrogant, he will have a tendency to collapse after a series of blows. Now the Kaiser is being hit even harder than in history. After all, Germany lost in history. Wilhelm II has nothing to say, just run away, but what about now? I was about to win, and then I was stabbed in the back by my own people... It's frustrating.

"Your Majesty, you did make some mistakes. But the root cause this time is that you have not mastered a force that truly belongs to you, nor have you considered the interests of most people in the empire.

You let the Junker nobles and political parties control the regime and military power. Although the establishment of the navy provided civilians with a way to rise, it was a drop in the bucket. You don't provide enough welfare to the residents like Bismarck, which makes the people feel good about the party. Coupled with some mishandling of some things, it caused the current result. "The Grand Duke of Baden said.

"If I still have the chance to be in power in the future, then I must start from scratch. Ruprecht will be my role model." After speaking, the Kaiser no longer struggled with this issue, and he began to work with the Grand Duke of Baden, Gather those who are still loyal to the royal family and prepare to start negotiations with the parliament! The Kaiser thought he was familiar with this battlefield. Even though he did many things wrong, this time, he didn't want to lose! And during this period of time, the Grand Duke of Baden really found some people from all over the country, and the Kaiser still has a lot of influence among the nobles!

And when Prince Leopold returned to his residence, he also reported the results of the negotiations to Ruprecht as soon as possible. He said that the negotiations between the Kaiser and the parliament will be the general trend, but at the same time, the German military officers still He is wary of Bavaria. And put forward the idea of ​​letting Bavaria give up the internal control areas of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

"Prussia's last conscience." Ruprecht commented on Crook and others, but unfortunately, their conscience is useless! The armed forces controlled by the officer corps are indeed very dreadful, but they are only weapons after all. Without the country and the government who control the weapons, and without the strong material and economic support of Prussia, what fighting power does the Prussian Legion have at this time? So, don't look at Prince Leopold's rejection of the other party in public, but nothing happened.

As for after the split of Prussia? How can Prussia, which has become two halves, have the ability to fight against Bavaria? The originally unified Prussian officer corps would also be split. It's too late for them to deal with their own affairs, let alone other things? As for why Ruprecht can be sure that Prussia will eventually split, rather than a compromise between the Kaiser and the Parliamentarians? The reason is simple, as Prince Leopold has already said, the heart is sinister! Corruption at the top!

There are too many interest demands of various interest groups in Prussia. The nobles want to continue to guarantee their privileges and status, while the capitalists want to expand their influence, and at the same time ask the imperial government to formulate laws and policies suitable for them. The middle class wants to They want a wider channel of advancement, while ordinary people want higher benefits.

Powerful interest groups compete for state power, such as the aristocrats and capitalists. Their struggle greatly weakened Prussia. The relatively weak civilian class did not benefit from the strength of Prussia, so they did not have much recognition for this country. So much so that when there is an event that may lead to a tendency to divide the country, they may ignore it.
