Chapter 1760 Fudge One
"It is true, but today's friend may be tomorrow's enemy." The prince said frankly. "According to ordinary people's understanding, as a king, I should stand on the side of the Kaiser for my own kingdom and authority. After all, although there is filth between us, the Kaiser never intends to kill a kingdom. And as a social democratic party? They Want to establish a parliamentary government, and to do so would necessarily weaken the Bavarian crown."
"But it's actually not the case! Wilhelm II is the emperor, the supreme existence of the German Empire, and after this war, the gap between Bavaria and Prussia will narrow, and this is an unbearable thing for an emperor, The Kaiser can accept a Prussia of 350,000 square kilometers and a Bavaria of 78,000 square kilometers, but he will never accept a Prussia of 700,000 square kilometers and a Bavaria of 300,000 square kilometers! This kind of confrontation will not be because of our previous relationship Very good, and it will not change because the Bavarian Army once fought bloody battles on the Eastern Front and won nearly one million square kilometers for the German Empire!"
"This is because he is the emperor and I am the king. I can already predict that after the war, the friction and confrontation between the two countries will not cause earth-shattering things, but the Kaiser is definitely not a friend. Recently What happened is already obvious, just think about what the Kaiser did, and you will understand." After Ruprecht finished speaking, he asked Scheer to digest the words.
"As for those guys in the parliament? How should I put it? In fact, you are a bit overestimating them. It is impossible for them to win the authority of the whole of Germany, at most the authority within Prussia. The reason is very simple. In the south, the largest party is The Catholic Central Party, these guys are not the same as the Protestant-based Social Democratic Party. My bottom line is very clear. If they plan to change the powers of the Federal Parliament and intervene in the affairs of other kingdoms, then, no problem, I will use My saber is here to educate them, and they understand this very well." When Ruprecht said this, his words were slightly smug.
"Fuck, the royal family really has deep tricks. I'm so naive, I feel like I'm a high-ranking person, but I'm still too naive compared to the real high-ranking officials of the German Empire..." Scheer rubbed Said the cold sweat on his head.
It has to be said that as a crown prince and a politician, Ruprecht has already mastered the skill of deception to a very high level. It is certainly impossible for the prince to tell Scheer his purpose-to make Princess Mary the Queen of Horsepower, and then split Prussia... . And the prince really needs Scheer to ensure the stability of the navy, so at this time, he must not reveal his intentions prematurely, because as Scheer said, which side he stands on can win. However, in Austria Before the problem is resolved, the prince will not intervene in domestic problems. To some extent, the prince is not lying if he says that he has not thought about what to do... And at this time, for Scheer, who is also hesitant, this result is also the most acceptable for the opponent! Well, now comes the question, how can Scheer believe that he is temporarily indecisive about the two sides in the country?
First of all, His Royal Highness must tell Scheer a reason and confidence for his aloofness! The so-called standing on a wall is strong without desire. If neither party can offer a price that Ruprecht is interested in and trusts, then His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will naturally not be easily involved in this matter. And this is also the first step to convince Scheer!
As for the second point, confidence, that is, why Ruprecht can say no to any strength! This is also easy to say, where is the power in the hands? Just now the Kingdom of Bavaria and the Grand Duchy of Bohemia-Moravia are enough for the prince not to buy anyone's account.
It is also enough to make it impossible for either party to force the prince to do things he does not want to do.
As for the third point? What the prince said is indeed true. If Prussia does not split this time, even if Bavaria helped the Kaiser through this hurdle, the latter will still find trouble with the prince after the war. This is politics! Therefore, the prince's response is to split Prussia, making him unable to trouble Bavaria... And what about the Social Democrats? Although they were fully prepared this time, judging from the current situation, it would be considered good if they could really take down Prussia. If they really intend to change the Federal Parliament, then not only Bavaria, but countries such as Saxony and Württemberg will not let them go, and some of the original wall-riding parties will definitely attack them unceremoniously.
And if the structure of the Federal Assembly does not change, even if Prussia is won, the Federal Assembly controlled by the Social Democratic Party can still only veto conditions that are unfavorable to itself, but it does not have the ability to force its own resolutions. This is different from Prussia at the beginning. the same!
Therefore, from the above three points, the prince is not worried about the pressure and threats from the outside world, and after doing this, at least the prince has taken the initiative. In the logic chain, there is already a condition of being detached from the world and not being liquidated.
Therefore, after such a well-reasoned, nine-true and one-false analysis, Admiral Scheer now really believes that Crown Prince Ruprecht is not very interested in the current Prussian internal struggle. Neither party could offer conditions that would satisfy His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. At the same time, Bavaria had reasonable reasons for supporting either party, and it also had reasons for not supporting it. And this attitude of jumping out of the way made Scheer feel very uncomfortable. That's right, it's just that you don't adapt, because you can't convince a person who has no desires and desires in this matter!
"However, it is difficult for me to understand that there is a Prussia with a parliament in power and a kingdom with a group of kings in power at the same time in a country. There has never been such a country in this world, and Prussia with a parliamentary system must be more hostile than the Kaiser. Bavaria." Admiral Scheer thought for a while and said.
"Believe me, after the parliamentary system, Prussia will only be weaker in terms of action ability than it is now! They will be more cautious. This is not simply because the balance of power between the two sides has undergone some changes that are not conducive to Prussia. More importantly, power has become more dispersed. , capitalists, nobles, and people from other social strata will have a certain position in the parliament, and this will inevitably lead to inefficient decision-making. The current bourgeoisie has too much relationship with the Junker nobles, even this time The Social Democrats have succeeded, and the Junkers, at least some of them, will still hold important positions, and even those Junkers who support the Social Democrats will still be willing to retain the crown of Kaiser Wilhelm II."
