The Rise of the Empire

Chapter 1,790 Buller’s Response

"This..." Albert was almost moved, but he really couldn't reach such an agreement with the Poles. This is not only a so-called dignity and face issue, but also something that may cause a backlash among the entire German public! Maybe, a slight problem with the operation may lead to extremely serious consequences.

"We can not discuss this issue for the time being." At this time, Albert's old friend Scheideman decided to smooth things over.

"We are all here today and can definitely solve this matter. Mr. Abbott also said just now that we don't have much time." Hasay said.

"No, there is still an important person who has not arrived yet. He is now blocking our most powerful enemy on the southern front. Faced with such a life-and-death issue, I think it is extremely wrong not to take Mr. Buller's opinion into account. What do you think, Mr. Hasse?" Scheidemann said.

"Haha, Mr. Buller? He may be directing the battle on the battlefield now. We may not be able to find him at the first time, and he may not understand the overall situation." Bart naturally stood on his own side.

"Maybe we might not be able to find him, but we should at least ask him first! Even if it's just a procedure." Landsberg said on the side.

"Okay, that's it. I will arrange for someone to contact Mr. Buhler now. Everyone can wait for the results here, or you can go back and do your own business first. We will continue to discuss this issue later." After getting the information that originally belonged to the society After receiving support from his colleagues on the Democratic right, Abbott finally made up his mind.

His subordinates soon began trying to use telegraphs and telephones to contact the only person within the entire Social Democratic Party who could make calls. No one left here, they sat quietly in their seats, waiting for the final result to arrive.

"Mr. Albert, we have important information." At this moment, the voice of an attendant outside the door broke the calm of the venue. A moment later, Albert's confidential secretary came in and handed over a document. .

"Everyone, we seem to be in trouble. According to this information, three days ago, the Poles also contacted the faction that favored the Kaiser, and the conditions they proposed were exactly the same as those we proposed! Moreover, the most disturbing thing What is worrying is that the Kaiser’s people did not immediately reject the Polish request.” Albert said with a worried look.

"Then what are we waiting for? Are we still waiting for Bühler to make a decision? If the Poles are going to fall to the Kaiser, then we are doomed! Even if we make mistakes, we must temporarily stabilize them!" Hasse said loudly on the side.

"This is blackmail! We can't accept it!" At this time, Scheideman also saw Albert's hesitation. He stood up and said loudly: "The more this time, the more we must calm down! Because, our foundation We are not as good as the Kaiser, we can’t make any mistakes!”

"What are you waiting for? Hesitation can only bring destruction!" Bart said.

At this moment, the phone on the table finally rang, and when Albert picked up the phone in his hand, a reassuring voice entered his ears. "Mr. Albert, are you looking for me?"

"We have encountered a very difficult matter and want to hear your opinion. The Poles have extended an invitation to both us and the Kaiser. They may support either of us, but at the cost of becoming an independent Kingdom of Poland. , the specific status should be the same as Bavaria. And now, the Kaiser did not refuse immediately, they are probably discussing this matter." Albert explained the general situation in a few words.

"We cannot agree to this matter! We don't care about the Kaiser's position.

We must stand firm against the establishment of a Polish state! "Buhler's answer was more straightforward.

"In that case, we will become enemies, and even now we can't stop the Polish troops!" Albert said.

"Remember my words, firmly oppose the establishment of the Polish state! This issue is very important. It determines the tendency of mainstream public opinion in Germany! The behavior of the Poles is essentially blackmail. They want to take advantage of our internal contradictions to make profits, and this behavior It will inevitably be spurned by people from all walks of life in Germany! We now have to compete for the hearts and minds of the people!" Buller explained patiently.

"What is public opinion? We have the most say on this issue, but it is just a voice guided and used by the media and associations. As long as we can succeed, we can always push all problems to William II! And if we fail Then everything is lost, Mr. Buhler, you are so politically naive!" Hasay on the side couldn't help shouting loudly, and Buhler naturally heard some of Hasay's words.

"Mr. Albert, believe me, whether it is the civilian class, soldiers on the battlefield, the Junkers noble officer corps, or the southern kingdoms of Bavaria, Württemberg, and Saxony, they are absolutely unwilling to see Poland become a An independent state! Because this is naked blackmail and blackmail! And it is blackmailed by the defeated! No one likes such a Poland!"

"Moreover, if this plan is realized, it will definitely harm Bavaria's interests. And don't forget how our current opportunity came about. Without the conflict between the Kaiser and Bavaria over the Polish issue, we would not even have a chance. None!" Buller's last words shocked everyone.

Hasay and others can ignore the so-called public opinion, because they are good at these and can completely operate and guide them through various means. However, you must respect the Kingdom of Bavaria and the army in its hands! Back then, Bavaria was able to fall out with the Kaiser because of this issue. Why do you, a parliamentarian who cannot protect yourself, give the Poles a break on this issue? Do you think you have a long life?

After some advice from Bühler, Albert immediately realized that the Kaiser's failure to immediately agree to the Poles might also be because he was afraid of the reaction of the Kingdom of Bavaria.

"But I'm still worried. What if the plans of the Kaiser and the Poles do not include areas controlled by Bavaria? Wouldn't this avoid angering Bavaria?" Albert asked.

"It's possible, but I still shouldn't have anything to do with the Poles. In fact, we don't have to worry about the Poles. From a military point of view, if they want to come to Berlin, they will definitely pass through Posen and Silesia , we have enough time to delay, so if you can't make the decision to refuse, then we can also delay it for a while." Buhler said.
