Chapter 1,796 Follow-Up Reaction 1
However, General Crook just asked Seeckt a question: "Are you loyal to the Reich or to the Kaiser? Even if you can target your own people with guns without compunction, if we fail head-on, then no matter what Both the empire and the Kaiser are finished. We will be the sinners of history and the sinners of the entire German nation!"
(This is indeed the case for Seeckt in history. During the 1932 German presidential election, in the second round of voting, the former crown prince asked Seeckt to support Mustache. However, Seeckt, who was the actual controller of the German World War I Retired Senior Officers Association at the time, Kurt actually mobilized the people of the Schlieffen Association to vote for the mustache...)
If before, Sekt continued to fight against Britain and France on the Western Front only after weighing the pros and cons, and his political attitude was still inclined to the Kaiser, then when the Poles set foot on the land of Silesia, the Kaiser did not express his position. This made Sekter very dissatisfied. Now, Bavaria's reinforcements and the Crown Prince's statement have further enhanced Seeckt's perception of Bavaria in the south. And to the Kaiser? It feels a little worse. After all, even the Bavarians can't stand it. As the German Emperor, the Kaiser is still silent? This is simply dereliction of duty!
"At this moment, His Majesty the Emperor, who was originally sacred and the object of allegiance to the German officer corps, has become no different from those dirty politicians in my eyes. He no longer considers the overall interests of the empire, but treats petty people like a businessman. He is willing to pay every penny for small profits, even at the expense of the interests of the empire." In Sekter's diary, he wrote this. Now, there are many officers in the entire German Army who hold similar ideas to him.
However, no matter what, the effect of Ruprecht's psychological attack is still very good. At least he has won the favor of most German military personnel. Not only the senior officials, but also middle and low-level officers and grassroots soldiers are very welcome to this man from The Bavarian "God of War" can command them to victory in the war.
As for the people? The Crown Prince's reputation is even higher, especially among Silesians and people in Posen Province. The former is facing the Poles and the latter is about to face the Poles. The core argument of Prince Electrification is that payment and reward should be equal, and it emphasizes social fairness, which is what the middle and lower class people long for. And this view is similar to the democracy emphasized by the Social Democratic Party. In the eyes of the general public, the only difference is that fairness is led by the king, and fairness is led by political parties!
Compared with the previous deeds of Crown Prince Ruprecht, as well as the development of Bavaria in the past 20 years and the improvement of the welfare of the people in the kingdom, the more practical civilians really recognize these tangible benefits. If we say that the previous parliamentary faction's "discourage" was more of a political slogan. If there is nothing to say about the actual improvement of people's livelihood, then Bavaria's measures are practical. Some newspapers pointedly pointed out: "Behind politics are privileges. If Germany under the Kaiser is the privilege of nobility and blood, then in parliament it is the privilege of money, and these privileges have nothing to do with ordinary people."
"What exactly does Ruprecht want to do?!" At this time, in the Kaiser's study, the Emperor of the German Empire said uneasily. Ruprecht's behavior was undoubtedly a slap in the face to him. The King of Prussia was unable to handle his own domestic affairs and actually asked the Bavarian army to handle them... This was simply an insult to the Kaiser! But now, William II is not in the mood to think about these issues. What he values more is Ruprecht's political leanings!
"Your Majesty, the situation is not as bad as we thought. Although Ruprecht killed the Poles, we lost a means to check the rebels. But at the same time, he also sent aviation units to the Western Front.
and provided some military supplies. This is actually a kind of balance. We suffered nothing but prestige. "Max von Baden, the new Prime Minister of the German Empire, said on the sidelines.
"Apart from prestige, we have lost nothing?" the Kaiser said in a strange tone. "Do you know? My cousin, the most important thing I can't afford to lose now is my reputation! I am gradually losing the support of the violent organs of the empire, and the only thing that can make people unite around us is the remaining imperial power. Reputation! If one day, people feel that I am not suitable to be an emperor and think that imperial power is not as sacred as we preach, then we will be worthless!"
"But what good will this do to Ruprecht? Is the crown of the Wittelsbach family worth ten thousand gold when the imperial power of the Hohenzollern family is worthless? This is really too bad." The prince also frowned.
"Ruprecht is constantly balancing the forces of both parties. While ensuring the stability of the front line, we and the rebels are in a state of balance. What does he want? I think if he is willing to accept negotiations, no matter what Either we or the parliamentary faction will offer a price that satisfies him. Whether it is canceling the autonomy of the Poles or obtaining more land, it is not a problem, but he has been silent. What is this for?" Prince Max was a little confused. Confused.
"Rupprecht is not planning to become independent, is he? If you include the new territory, Bavaria's power after independence is not weaker than France! It is a big European country." The crown prince said.
"Damn it, how could I have such a nephew..." Prince Max was completely speechless. (Prince Max von Baden is the younger brother of the Archduke of Baden. He is also the cousin of the Kaiser)
"If the crown prince wanted independence, then he would not have issued this communication. In this communication, Ruprecht regarded himself as the arbiter of justice and fairness in the German Empire. This already shows that he does not will break away from the German Empire system. And in terms of interests, the economic and cultural exchanges between the Kingdom of Bavaria and the German Empire are already very close, and independence will not be of any benefit to him. Moreover, if it is really independent, I am afraid there will be people in Bavaria. Opinion, therefore, independence is impossible and he is not even interested in imperial power,” Prince Max explained.
"Okay, don't think about this. We don't understand what he wants to do. But we have to express our feelings towards this kind of righteous behavior and issue a message to express our attitude. The Polish army is illegal. As for the establishment of the Kingdom of Poland, it is also impossible," the Kaiser said.
