Chapter 1906: Before Going to the Western Front

After the four kingdoms and the parliamentary faction reached an agreement on important issues, the turmoil within the empire finally began to enter the final stage. To resolve the current problems through peace talks, and at the same time appoint Crown Prince Ruprecht as the commander-in-chief of the Imperial Army on the Western Front, the Bavarian Army will enter the Western Front in a large scale.

On the second day, the Kaiser announced that he would go to Munich to conduct peace negotiations with representatives of the parliament currently in Munich, and King Ludwig III of Bavaria would act as an intermediary. This arrangement completely excluded the influence of the military, but at this time, Crook and others had no time to complain, because Crown Prince Ruprecht and his army were about to embark on a journey northward. Before that, the prince had a long talk with his father, and finally determined the key points of some issues.

"Father, as long as we can be sure that Prussia is divided into two roughly equal parts, we don't need to accept the benefits of either side, because we have already gained enough benefits, and the evenness of the Kingdom of Prussia and the Federal Prussia is our greatest advantage." profit. I have already talked with Prince Leopold in detail, and he will help you deal with this matter." Ruprecht said.

"However, the current situation is that the area controlled by the Kaiser has an advantage. I am afraid it will be difficult for us to divide Prussia into two parts of equal size." The old king said.

"It is true that there are not many areas controlled by the parliamentary faction, but there are not many areas that the Kaiser can completely control now! Many of them are under the control of the officer corps and the navy. The Kaiser's confidence is not as sufficient as they claim .I have a rough plan now, you can follow this plan." Said the prince.

"Currently, the areas controlled by the parliamentary faction include the entire Brandenburg, Lower Saxony, half of Hanover and half of Hesse-Nassau. What about the areas controlled by the Kaiser? Including East Prussia, West Prussia, and Pomerania (the capital is the later Szczecin) Rhineland (capital is Klonn), West ** (capital is Essen) and the Hohenzollern region, the Schlesuvier and Olstein regions are under naval control, In addition to this, there are two other areas that are currently in our hands, one is Posen Province and the other is Silesia."

"I think Silesia can be handed over to the parliament faction. As for the excuse, I have already thought about it, because when the Poles launched the mutiny, the Kaiser did not express his position, which caused the local people's dissatisfaction with the Kaiser. If it works, they will raise this issue, and then you can just push the boat along, and you can completely let this area fall into the hands of the parliamentary faction through a referendum or other means."

"Parts of Posen province can also be given to the parliament faction. This is obtained through exchange. The Berlin area will be separated separately as the capital of the empire. As compensation for the parliament faction, part of Posen province can be handed over to the parliament faction." Send it to Parliament."

"As for the two provinces of Schleswig and Olstein, I think we can follow the example of Alsace and Lorraine and directly form a centrally administered region. In this case, the strength of both sides will be roughly equal. The Kaiser owns 6 complete provinces and the industrial district of Kiel, as well as the western part of Hanover, half of the province of Hesse-Nassau, and parts of the province of Posen."

"And the parliamentarians own most of Brandenburg, Lower Saxony, most of Hanover and Hesse-Nassau, the Silesian industrial area, the textile area, and parts of Posen, while Schleswiler and the Russian If the Stein region adopts the central government, I feel that these two provinces will be controlled by the parliamentarians, because the aristocratic forces here are relatively weak, and they are now under the control of the navy. Many people in the navy are inclined to the parliamentarians Yes," said the prince.

"Then the Kaiser will have some advantage,

But what happens in the Bundestag if Schlesuvier and Olstein become regions directly under the central government? I feel that it is better to give it to the Kaiser and the Parliament faction here, and it is better to give it to the Parliament faction or one of the provincial capitals. The current Federal Parliament is already chaotic enough. Don't add new members anymore. said the old king.

"Alright then, we can discuss this issue with Prince Leopold," the prince said.

In short, it is almost enough to achieve this result. Although the Kaiser owns more places in terms of area, Brandenburg, Hanover and Silesia are all rich provinces. On the contrary, the overall economic level is higher for the parliamentary faction. Although the Kaiser controls the Ruhr area, don't forget that East Prussia and West Prussia are both agricultural areas. Pulled down the average level of the Kaiser's control area. The distribution of the local territory is almost done. As for how the Kaiser and the Parliamentary faction divide the new territories, that is their business. Ruprecht does not want to interfere too much, as long as they are neutral.

In fact, this is the only major matter that the prince really cares about now. Other things are not important, at least not as important as winning the current war. If nothing else happens, Ruprecht will stay on the Western Front for about a month and a half to launch a large-scale offensive, and the decisive battle between the High Seas Fleet and the British Grand Fleet will be decided in the first half of this year.

After dealing with all kinds of trivial domestic and foreign affairs, he talked with his father-in-law and wife again on the phone, and after explaining many things, Ruprecht received another big gift, and part of the Austro-Hungarian Army will also follow Bavaria The regiment moved north into the Western Front.

Of course, it is unrealistic to expect much fighting power from the infantry of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, but at least you must give the heavy artillery of the Austro-Hungarian Legion some respect! That's right, this time, in order to support his son-in-law, Emperor Fritz drew out the most elite heavy artillery unit in the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and formed a huge establishment of the heavy artillery army. The smallest artillery in the heavy artillery army is the 150MM heavy howitzer, and The largest is the 380MM train gun. A heavy artillery army has more than 200 various artillery pieces. With the successive entry of three heavy artillery corps, at least 700 heavy artillery of various calibers will be added to the entire German Western Front! Among them, the number of train guns and siege guns over 12 inches alone exceeds three digits!

In addition to the heavy artillery units, the Austro-Hungarian Empire also drew 8 flying wings from its own air force to the Western Front. Although most of them were fighter jets and tactical bombers, there were nearly a thousand aircraft in total! With the addition of these aircraft, the German air force on the western front finally completely overwhelmed the British and French allied forces! After accepting this great gift, the prince felt that he had a great advantage, so he just had to go directly to A!
