Chapter 1366: The Prince's Attitude

Chapter 1366 Prince's Attitude

"That's it." The crown prince also understood. To be honest, the two crown princes of the Austro-Hungarian Empire committed suicide and the other committed homicide. until now. It is also understandable that Fritz will not be a crown prince for the time being. And even if you have an opinion, you can't force the Austrian emperor to make a crown prince, can you?

"I'm afraid, no matter who inherits the throne of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, it will be difficult to tolerate the semi-independent status of Bohemia and Moravia, right? At that time, we can deal with the Bavarian issue together with the Austro-Hungarian Empire."

"Let's talk about it at that time. In short, I need to contact Ruprecht. I need to know his attitude towards the reform of the imperial political situation and the parliament." The Kaiser said at the end of the meeting.

However, the Kaiser was straightforward. After returning to his office, he began to draft a letter to Ruprecht. After all, he also saw that under the premise of ensuring the stability of the Western Front, the entire military system, only The Bavarian Legion has enough power to deal with certain special situations. At this time, a unified position has become a very important thing.

"After the war, there will certainly be a far-reaching change in the political landscape of the Reich. In the new era of the rise of the German Empire, we would like to see the Kingdom of Bavaria play a more important role in this new system. The Bundestag will be reshuffled. Prussia retains the right of veto over parliamentary resolutions. The Kingdom of Bavaria's share in parliament will certainly increase, both proportionally and numerically."

After writing this, the Kaiser stopped and began to consider the future situation. The so-called veto right to the Reichstag meant that the Prussian family accounted for at least a quarter of the total votes! (The Prussian parliament has a three-quarters approval system!) And the political reward for Bavaria is to improve its status in the Federal Parliament. It is definitely impossible to have a veto, but it makes it easier for Bavaria to veto clauses that are not good for itself. It is still possible.

"There is a lot of political pressure within the empire. There are many people who have their own ideas. Capitalists and political parties hope to expand their right to speak. They not only want the right to make proposals, but also the right to pass drafts. This is true both within Prussia and in the Reichstag. Now, while we are fighting bloody battles at the front, they are behind the scenes, fomenting strikes, and threatening them. People who don't know the truth are waving their flags for them. This is a very dangerous things. We have to be on high alert."

"So, at the most critical moment, I need to use the sharp blade in your hand to maintain the unity and interests of this empire! And our natural dignity and strength as kings! And we will build a new empire that is stronger than any other empire in history. Empires are longer and stronger!"

"I can guarantee that Bavaria can retain its current struggle, diplomatic and military power in a legal situation. Bavaria will obtain no less than 120,000 square kilometers of territory and its residents and minerals in the post-war territorial division. The newly acquired Territories will not be divided, and Bavaria can own parts of Poland, Ukraine, and even Belarus.

In theory, I also support Bavaria's 40% share in Transcaucasus oil fields. All of this will be finalized after Russia and us sign an armistice agreement! The signing time will be decided by you. "

The Kaiser has made his demands and the conditions he can give. After adding a suitable ending, the Kaiser sealed the faith and stamped it with the unique imperial seal.

"Has William decided to do it?" Looking at the secret letter sent by the Kaiser. There was a relieved smile on the corner of the prince's mouth, thinking that the prince knew that the last part of his plan had been completed! In terms of the situation, the current situation is developing in the direction that is most beneficial to me! The Kaiser decided not to compromise with the domestic political parties at the right time! And some Junker nobles whose interests have been violated will stand by his side. A limited internal strife would break out in Prussia. And the opportunity for Princess Mary to become Queen Mary is here. And the opportunity for the decline of Prussia is also here! Yes, Prussia must be weakened at the end of this war!

The prince closed the letter in his hand and began to think about the last question, his true attitude! It is natural to support him in the Kaiser's reply, but in reality? Except under the premise of ensuring the stability of one's own kingship and the stability of the Federal Parliament. The prince is not incapable of showing mercy to those bourgeois political parties! For example, to persuade the Kaiser to compromise with the other party in some aspects, and to establish several free cities or highly autonomous regions in Prussia!

That's right, you read that right, this is the purpose of the prince! Prussia is too strong, so strong that Bavaria alone will become stronger, and the status of the prince will not change fundamentally. Only when Prussia is also weakened, (this weakening may not be territorial, but cohesion or political.) Only the prince can get at least the same status as Prussia! And bring the Austro-Hungarian Empire or the future Austria into its own jurisdiction!

In fact, don't look at the current Kaiser clamoring to press the domestic reactionaries directly on the ground and rub them a hundred times. But in fact, his bottom line is still very low. In history, he only asked to guarantee his status as the king of Prussia, he could be a constitutional monarchy, and he didn't even need the title of emperor. Therefore, if at a critical moment, the prince allows William II to retain control of most of Prussia and allow certain areas where the power of the political party is concentrated to become a semi-independent free city, then it is also possible.

And in doing so, leaving part of the party faction, also weakened the power of Prussia. Then it is the best result for yourself! After all, Wilhelm II, who has become the most powerful country in Europe and has stabilized the internal political environment, will definitely do it himself, and this is not even based on the will of the Kaiser! Even if he doesn't want to do it, some people have to persuade the Kaiser to do it. Therefore, at this critical moment, Ruprecht needs to stab Prussia in a timely manner while ensuring that Germany can win and will not collapse due to civil strife!

"As a king, the Kingdom of Bavaria is willing to fight to maintain the monarchy and power in Germany! Just let me know in advance when you decide to act, and the army of the Kingdom of Bavaria will serve you instead of any other organization or organization in Germany. Group service!" wrote Ruprecht in his reply to the Kaiser!

And after processing the letter to the Kaiser, the prince has to focus on the battlefield again. After the situation in Poland stabilizes, the plan to attack Riga will be put on the agenda!
