Chapter 1889 Caucasus Garrison Issue II
The current parliamentarians are only alive, that's all, but if they want to live better, they must curry favor with others. This is the embarrassment of the parliamentary faction now. To put it bluntly, there is nothing wrong with describing Albert now with a higher heart than a sky and a thinner name than paper! Do you really think Albert can represent the entire right wing and center of the Social Democratic Party? The leaders of the political parties change most frequently. Seeing that you are not suitable, you just take it down. Do you really think that Albert is a parliamentary faction? What are you thinking?
In fact, although Albert is the leader of the parliamentary faction, now, the parliamentary faction is also very opinionated about some of Albert's practices. Before coming here, Landsberg, who originally belonged to the right wing of the Social Democratic Party like Ebert, had repeatedly complained to Barthes that Ebert's arrogance had reached a dangerous level, and claimed that the Supreme Council should check and balance Ebert. And his opinion was supported by the center of the Social Democratic Party, and this time, Buhler in the Committee of Six also acquiesced!
"We have decided that if the total number of troops stationed in the North Caucasus region is 150,000, we will station at least 50,000 troops. And in principle, we will accept the command of the Caucasus Theater Command." Buhler looked at Bart, and the other party nodded lightly. After a moment of nodding, he informed Albert of the results of the discussion among the other five people in the meeting.
"I reject this extremely unequal resolution! We send troops to be supported by us, but we still have to accept the command of others? This is simply unbearable!" Albert said loudly.
"Mr. Albert, this is the result of our joint consultations. It is the final resolution. We just inform you that you cannot veto the resolution proposed by all of us. You should know that the most basic principle we follow is that the minority obeys the majority " Barter said in a deep voice.
This is actually considered a threat, which means that if Albert continues to act recklessly, the core members of the parliamentary faction can veto his opinion today, and he can be replaced tomorrow!
"Well, since everyone thinks so, I accept everyone's opinions." After realizing the crisis of his being abolished, Albert's attitude finally softened.
Just after the parliamentary faction reached an agreement on this issue, the Kaiser finally issued an order. The final result was similar to what the Grand Duke of Baden and Moltke had expected. The Kaiser chose the lining this time. In the order, the Kaiser Instructing the Grand Duke of Baden to "take as much territory as possible." And said that the garrison is not a problem. Even garrisoning 150,000 troops in the North Caucasus is possible. Use Bavarian army equipment, and even accept Bavarian command during wartime. As long as Ruprecht can come up with enough consideration!
The so-called transactions are all carried out in private, and the exchange of interests and forming cliques are all done before the meeting. When the meeting is held, generally speaking, there is only one vote left. During the period of adjournment, the number one forces in the entire German Empire were actively cooperating vertically and horizontally.
Although Albrecht, the Grand Duke of Württemberg, said that he had no interest in the Transcaucasus when talking with the King of Saxony, but when it came time for distribution, the Kingdom of Württemberg, the third head of the empire, was unambiguous at all. They said Willing to provide about 20,000 troops to deploy to the Caucasus region, and willing to adopt the equipment of the Bavarian Army and obey the command of the crown prince.
In order to reward his allies, Ruprecht gave the Kingdom of Württemberg 5% of the Baku oil field and a copper mine in Armenia! For a kingdom with an area of just over 30,000 square kilometers, an annual production of 1 million tons of crude oil is enough. In terms of territory, Württemberg also obtained the right to manage about 15,000 square kilometers of Georgia on the Black Sea coast.
Although Saxony does not have as much stomach as Württemberg, it also said that it can send an infantry brigade of about 7,000 troops into this area. Therefore, the Kingdom of Saxony also received 3% of the Baku oil field quota and a molybdenum mine as a reward.
Of course, the real big head is the Kaiser and the parliamentary faction. Compared with the twitching of the parliamentary faction, the Kaiser is still very generous. He said that the entire North Caucasus region can be taken over by himself! Military issues are easy to talk about, but in the end Ruprecht and the Baden Convention agreed that Kaiser Prussia would be allocated an area of about 120,000 square kilometers after the war, and the minerals in this area and Bavaria would be divided according to June Fourth. The Kaiser accounted for 60%, and Bavaria accounted for 40%. The Kaiser stationed 120,000 troops in the area. Bavaria is responsible for armaments and wartime management!
But this time, the parliament faction finally realized that the situation was not good, but they had missed the best opportunity. Other hills within the empire had almost divided the entire Transcaucasus region, and the conditions they proposed were nothing new. Therefore, the final result was that the parliament sent 50,000 troops to garrison, and at the same time adopted Bavarian equipment. During the war, they obeyed the prince's command in exchange for about 50,000 square kilometers of territory and resources on it. Of course, resources are also divided into sixty-four.
After this partition, Bavaria owns about 150,000 of the more than 400,000 square kilometers of land in the entire Caucasus region, including parts of Armenia and Azerbaijan, and a passage to the Black Sea. The Kaiser and the Parliament faction have a total of 170,000 square kilometers and control most of the North Caucasus. The rest are the two kingdoms of Württemberg and Saxony. As for the vacated areas, the local peoples can be allowed to establish independent states. Anyway, the princes have no idea of forcibly controlling the future generations of Chechnya. They don’t ask for much territory or resources. , is still so difficult to manage. As long as they are not friendly with Maozi, then let them go!
So far, Germany's gains on the Eastern Front during the war have been divided. Judging from the current situation, Bavaria is obviously the biggest winner. The Kaiser got the second most. Parliamentarians are third. However, the division of the newly added territory within Prussia has not yet been finalized, so how much the Kaiser and the parliamentary faction can get depends on the final result, and this gives Bavaria room to operate! That's right, Bavaria never completely gave up their chips before the dust settled. There are still too many things that have not been finalized between the Kaiser and the Parliament faction, and if any party wants to gain some advantage, it needs the help of Bavaria. Although this game is coming to an end, it has not yet come to an end!
