Chapter 1853 In Berlin II

To be honest, Albert is not only a politician, he also has ideals and beliefs to reach this point. He really wants to establish a German Empire with a parliamentary system, and then weaken the autonomous power of the German states and strengthen the central government. centralization. Ebert believed that only Germany, which adopted a parliamentary system and achieved centralization, could develop better and stronger in the future. Therefore, at the very beginning, his goal was the authority of the entire empire, and he didn't mind annexing several states in the process of the coup.

However, the ideal is beautiful, but the reality is cruel. In the end, the plan formulated by Albert and others became the regime to control Prussia, while trying to ensure that there would be no direct conflicts with other big states. For this, Albert can only comfort himself by finding trouble in Bavaria after the war. But looking at the current situation, not to mention that in the struggle for power, the parliamentary faction is in a disadvantageous situation, but what about Bavaria? Now that it is stronger, even if it gains power in Prussia, Albert has no idea about Bavaria...  

But now, apart from the failure of his great ideal, there is another very serious thing, and Scheideman was "forced" to get sick because of this thing. Of course, this matter cannot be said now, and it may cause instability in the army.

"So what are they here for? Just to make a trip to Vienna for one of us? Or are they going to ask for something?" Dittmann said.

"There is no formal contact yet, but it is foreseeable that they will play tricks in the Imperial Parliament. I believe that Bavaria has no interest in Prussian rights, but they will definitely try to set various restrictions on us in the imperial central government , and the bad thing is that the imperial officer corps may have a similar view." Albert said.

"However, there is still a good side to this matter. At least, if the two sides negotiate, we will not lose completely, and we will get more rights than before. The empire will not go back to the past." Landsby Grid thought for a while and said.

"But the Prussian government will fall into wrangling. If no party can obtain complete authority, then the efficiency will be very low. If the other party supports it, we will oppose it. This is not just talking! The internal problems in Prussia will drag on for a long time Indecision, and the power of the central government of the empire will be greatly reduced, what have we done! This is simply self-defeating!" Barter said.

"However, we have no way out." Albert said with a quiet gesture: "Even if the Kaiser fails, he is at least a national symbol, and if we fail, then the gallows is waiting for us. We did not To think that things will get to where they are now, but even so, we still have to carry on!" Albert said.

Before the meeting, Albert really thought about simply throwing in the towel, restoring the empire to its original state, and then getting an amnesty from the Kaiser. However, this idea was just a flash. The amnesty seems good, but who can guarantee that the Kaiser will not trouble himself for other reasons afterwards? Even if the Kaiser doesn't make trouble, will those big benefactors who supported him at the beginning give up if they failed to achieve their goals? Absolutely impossible! They did not hesitate to send the empire to the brink of civil war for their own purposes! Don't look at the superficial appearance of people like Albert, they are just some people's agents! In their businessman's way, if there is no reward for paying money and risk, they will kill! Of course, the way of killing will be more elegant.

Even if he doesn't think about himself, Albert still can't give up, because he is the leader, even though he and a few people can get rid of revenge and even leave Germany by virtue of previous accumulation or exchange. But what about the others? What about at least a hundred thousand Social Democratic Party members and supporters who followed him to participate in this matter? what should they do To say that the Kaiser will spare them? Albert would never believe it! as a politician,

It is possible to say that he lacks integrity, but at his height, if he has no integrity at all, that is also impossible.

"So how to negotiate? We exchange views with the Kaiser and reach an agreement?" Barthes asked.

"In addition to reaching an agreement with the Kaiser, we must also get the other states, the Prussian officer corps and the navy to agree to the estimate before it can be passed. Otherwise, if any party has objections, we will not be able to reach an agreement." Buller spoke.

"This is obviously an internal problem in Prussia. Why should we look at the attitudes of other states and the navy? After we reach an agreement with the Kaiser, can the nobles of the officer corps still object?" Dittmann asked angrily, as A civil servant, he himself harbored ill will against the army's Junker nobles.

"Because, the one who has a gun in his hand is the one who decides. We want to use this opportunity to change Germany, and so do other forces. For example, the officer corps that should have obeyed the central government, he has opinions on us and the Kaiser We have harmed their interests, and they have expressed doubts about the Kaiser's ability. And a weak regime will always make the soldiers have some unreasonable ideas!" Ebert said.

"I have always believed that Germany will have two enemies in the future, one is the powerful Bavaria, and the other is the officer corps that is deeply rooted in Prussia and controls the army. They are beyond the control of the government. The former threatens the authority of the government from the outside, And the latter controls the interior of the empire." Albert paused and continued: "Even if we will not succeed in the end, we must drag one of the enemies to finish with us!"

"Die with Bavaria? It seems impossible, then it can only be the officer corps." Dittmann said.

"That's right, no matter what, the supreme commander of the future Prussian army can only be the Minister of Defense, and the Minister of Defense must be a civilian! All officers must be controlled by civilians!" Albert said viciously. Albert's idea is still possible to realize, because the Kaiser can't rest assured of this army now! While the officer corps was still trying to protect the interests of Prussia, Albert and His Majesty the Emperor had already begun to prepare to deal with the officer corps. People were unpredictable!

"So how do we face Bavaria?" someone asked.

"I, Mr. Hassey and Mr. Buhler are responsible for receiving Earl Schelling. The rest of you continue to improve our negotiation plan. Our only advantage now is the support of the people. We must let the people know that the future of Germany It's better under us. Well, that's it," Albert said.
