Chapter 1495 Interest Competition One
Chapter 1495 Competition for interests 1
"After we stabilized the situation in Russian Poland, a large number of East Prussian peasants tried to enter the area under our control. They were organized and planned by a group called the German Colonial Committee. At the beginning, these After the guy entered the area under our control, he tried to bring those unowned lands into his own name. After I found out about this situation, I stopped it. However, shortly afterwards, I learned from our insider in the Prussian Parliament that some people We plan to use some disgraceful means to take away the land that originally belonged to us!"
After reading this content, Ruprecht's heart tightened. He really didn't expect that before Russia fell, some people could not hold back their greed and prepared to buy from the cake after the war. Get a share!
As a time traveler, what Ruprecht dislikes most about certain political parties and nobles in Prussia is that before the war is over, they have already started fighting! Based on the information collected through other channels, the prince believes that a considerable number of people in the Prussian government and some social groups have already begun to prepare to "receive the fruits of victory"!
Historically, in December 1914, the new governor of East Prussia, Bartocki, mentioned in a letter to the prime minister that he planned to annex a large number of Polish lands and move out the Poles and Jews who were originally here. If you Said that this guy's status is not high enough to represent the Prussian high-level, then the Prussian Minister of the Interior von Robert also put forward a similar view. In addition to the Polish region, this buddy also wants to go along the Baltic coast and Lithuania.
As for this plane, Prussia naturally did so, and for Ruprecht, if you do this, you do it. Anyway, according to the agreement with the Kaiser, the area controlled by Prussia is Russian Poland The north and the Baltic coast, that's your place, do what you want. But now, some people want to infiltrate the area controlled by the Bavarian Army, so what does that mean? !
What is certain is that such sneaky expansion has not been authorized by the Kaiser. Otherwise, the General Staff will issue a document asking the prince to transfer control of some areas. It's the night before! Moreover, the Kaiser still needs the power of Bavaria to solve domestic political problems, so now he will definitely not tear his face.
Then the only possibility is that some people or groups in Prussia are making small moves on their own. How about the combat effectiveness of these groups? That is definitely not low. One very interesting aspect of German or Prussian politics is that social groups have such considerable influence. In addition to the Naval Association established by Tirpitz, there are various large and small groups in Germany. Their existence can obviously affect the political trend. The Naval Association of Tirpitz is an example. The German Church is another example, which directly influenced the historical decision of the German government on the issue of war and peace in 1917.
As for the present, what is the purpose of those Prussian groups? The prince understands very well,
If you follow a sentence from later generations, it is to create established facts! Although the Kaiser and Ruprecht had a general plan for the future allocation of the Polish region, the two sides have not finalized the final border line. In other words, there are still variables. Now the Kaiser has to rely on Bavaria. Naturally easy to say. If the battle on the Eastern Front is over on that day and it is time for distribution, if the Prussian government claims territory under the pretext that a large number of Prussians settled in certain areas, it will be really difficult for the prince!
The prince is not sure what conspiracy is behind this behavior, nor is he sure about the ideas of various immigrant groups, religious churches, and political groups in Prussia, but one thing must be confirmed is that this opening cannot be opened! After opening, there is no way to get it later!
"First of all, immigration from any non-Bavarian and Bohemian regions must be stopped. Second, the remaining Poles must be mobilized quickly, and if they are willing to cooperate, they can be given land and means of subsistence for production. Third, our men There are a large number of prisoners of war, mobilize them, establish military farms or other departments, and quickly fill the Polish areas under our army's control." In the reply to Prince Leopold, the prince wrote this.
If the prince's strategy can be summed up in a nutshell, he would go his own way and leave others nowhere to go... They are just stealthily occupying land now, so that's good, let me circle all the places first, so that you can't stand up, can't it be enough? If it doesn't work, replace the Bavarian Army with the Bohemian Army, which nominally belongs to the army of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and the most loyal objects are the Austrian Emperor and the Archduke Mary. If these people dare to continue "smuggling", as part of the Austro-Hungarian Army, the Bohemian Army can all be detained, but the Bavarian Army, which is the German army, may not be easy to do... .
With the consolidation of the newly occupied area, Bavaria has also begun to restore order and production in the occupied area. A little different from history, the Poles on this plane are still relatively friendly to the Germans. It’s not that the Germans are good. It's because what the Russians did before was so fucking crazy!
Before the war, the Russian government planned to relocate Poles from Russian Poland on a large scale. After the war, the Poles who stayed here were captured by the Russians and had to bear heavy corvee and tax burdens. In order to ensure the stability of the positive region, the Russians also implemented a very harsh white rule over Poland. This naturally brought the life of the Poles to the bottom. However, the disaster is not over yet. With the unfolding of the Polish Pocket Battle, the Russian army's transportation channel was cut off, and then, what would happen to the millions of Russian troops who couldn't even eat enough? You can imagine with your knees! They have guns! And the moral concept is weak! Although the time is not long, it is definitely enough to leave an unforgettable impact on the Poles!
But now, the Poles who are still struggling on the edge of life and death really have no plans for independence. The existential threat could be that the Bavarian Legion could get enough labor at very low cost. It is obviously the best choice to use these labor forces to make up for the shortage of labor force caused by the war and heal the wounds of the war in this region.
Of course, in the process of using these personnel, the prince also made arrangements. Those with skills or special skills will be given higher treatment. They will go to work in factories in Bavaria or Skoda military factories in Bohemia. Ordinary people They were scattered and mixed with Germans and Czechs who came here from Bavaria and Bohemia. And for those Poles who have such a deep-seated hatred for the Russians, the prince expressed that he is willing to fulfill their wishes and join the army as cannon fodder...
