Chapter 1872 Disagreement

In the view of the Kaiser, if Prussia is divided, the Emperor faction should also have the upper hand. First of all, the East Prussian region is almost the private land of the nobles, and there are more people who support the emperor. Now, except for some provinces in the central part and those controlled by the northern coastal navy Regions, parts of western Germany are also nominally under the rule of the Kaiser, if divided according to this situation, then except for the 3 provinces in the central part, the rest belong to the Kaiser! Moreover, the province of Brandenburg will definitely be divided, and no one will accept that the capital of the empire is completely in the hands of the parliamentarians!

Secondly, the Kaiser believes that if the reason is to exchange some interests with Bavaria, then it is possible for Bavaria to favor itself and obtain more land. After all, although the relationship between the Kaiser and Bavaria was very bad before, but now, in Germany After the emperor gave up his suppression of Bavaria, what else can everyone not talk about? Compared with the parliamentarians, the Kaiser believes that Bavaria has a better perception of itself! In the same way, the Kaiser can also use the interests of the Eastern Front to persuade countries such as Württemberg and Saxony to help him.

Just as Ruprecht said back then, William II never thought of taking away the crown of Bavaria, and Bavaria would also not let the crown of Prussia fall. This is the tacit understanding and bottom line between the kings! From this point of view, the relationship between them is really much closer than the relationship with the parliament!

"We also have a similar idea. Since neither of us can completely convince the other party, we can consider partitioning under the principle of an empire. Let time test which of us is more correct," Barter said.

"Wait a minute, can you explain what it means to be under the principle of an empire?" the Grand Duke of Baden frowned and asked.

"It's very simple. Judging from the current situation, the highest authority in Germany in the future will be the Bundestag and the upper and lower chambers of the Reichstag. Obviously, even if we can handle the army, with the support of the remnants of the army and the surrounding states, A lower house of the empire composed of meritorious personnel will definitely be established, and I believe that His Majesty the Emperor is also willing to set up such a parliament, and you and little Mao Qi will definitely enter."

Anyone with a discerning eye knows that Crown Prince Ruprecht's decision to add another parliament is obviously to limit the rights of political parties and at the same time arrange a way out for the military (not just senior military officers) in this war. Therefore, this resolution has been widely supported. Apart from the Social Democratic Party, even ordinary people believe that those warriors who worked hard on the battlefield have a reason to obtain a status commensurate with their efforts.

This is politics. When the Kaiser and the parliamentary faction are preparing to count the military, it still does not prevent the Kaiser and the military from joining forces to restrict the parliament. Sometimes, the boundaries between friends and enemies are so blurred that even appear, A When stabbing C together with B, A, C, and D are also calculating B at the same time.... What's even more amazing is that B knows about the activities of A and C, but still plots against B with A. Isn't this the case now? The Kaiser and the Parliament faction are thinking of weakening the military,

The Kaiser, the military and Bavaria limited the parliamentary faction by setting up a third parliament!

The social democrats cannot prevent the addition of a new parliament, so they must find a balance in other aspects, that is, the Prussian Confederation controlled by the social democrats in the future must have independent voting rights in the federal parliament!

"Such an approach is actually unfair. As a political party, we cannot only pursue local administrative power, but also pursue rights at the imperial level. Therefore, we must have independent voting rights in the Federal Assembly, and we must cooperate with Prussia. The king completely cut it off and established a brand new state," Barter said.

"The resistance to doing so will be very high. The people of Prussia will not allow their country to split." The Grand Duke of Baden said.

"Hehe, you are too confident. The Kingdom of Prussia only extended its sphere of influence to the current eastern region of Germany after the Vienna Conference. It took only 100 years. If Prussia annexed Hannover and other countries, this time would be even shorter. Therefore, we We all understand that even in an area like Silesia, William II's prestige is already very low due to the Polish riots. I can even say responsibly that, except for the nobles, not many people are willing to accept the rule of His Majesty the Emperor. "

"Of course, if you want us to take care of the Kaiser's face, we can still be under the same banner, but we will never compromise our seats in the Federal Parliament!" Balth emphasized.

"Hehe, do you know? My feudal state was prepared to become a kingdom before. My mother is the princess of the German Empire, and my feudal state is the fifth most powerful in the empire. Even so, it all failed in the end. It is very important One of the reasons is that changes in state status will lead to changes in the number of votes in the Federal Assembly. Bavaria is the strongest with 6 votes. Saxony and Württemberg are also kingdoms with 4 votes each, while the Grand Duchy of Baden has 3 votes. , if the Grand Duchy of Baden becomes a kingdom, if it also has 4 votes, then one vote must be squeezed out from other places, after all, the 58 votes of the Federal Assembly cannot be increased or decreased at will!"

"Think about it, the empire has been established for so many years, and the population has grown from more than 50 million to nearly 70 million now. The factions in the imperial parliament are changing like a lantern, and the number of members is also constantly changing. But look at the structure of the federal parliament. Has time changed? It is much more difficult to change the Bundestag than to overthrow the Kaiser!" the Grand Duke of Baden said coldly.

Why are diamonds valuable? Isn't it because of scarcity and stability? In addition to the rare and stable voting rights of the Bundestag, another problem is that this is the right to really decide Germany's policy! Whether you are the emperor or a political party? Are you an army or a nobleman? Even the Kaiser can be threatened to step down, and the Federal Parliament only threatens others when he threatens him, and no one threatens him! The empire never dies! The Federal Parliament lives forever! No matter what important resolutions, the Federal Parliament has the right to veto! Therefore, regarding this issue, every country is very close!

"However, I think it is inappropriate for the newly established Kingdom of Prussia to have the seats of the original Prussia, because the federal parliament is determined according to the population of each state. There should be some reaction in the parliament." Barthes paused and continued: "Moreover, the future federal parliament will definitely change, because the empire has changed, from a country of 570,000 square kilometers to a country with millions of square kilometers. country, and Bavaria will definitely not be content with the original 6 votes and the share within the Imperial Parliament!"
