Chapter 1,797 Follow-Up Reaction 2
"In addition, I would like to know what is the outcome of our contact with the Parliament? What is their bottom line? Can we accept it?" The Kaiser then changed the subject.
Don't think it is unbelievable that the royalists and parliamentarians came into contact with each other at this time. Why did there be such a fierce conflict between the two sides? Isn't it just for profit? In fact, the struggle between the Kaiser and the Parliament began when Wilhelm II ascended the throne. This time, the methods were just a little more intense.
In fact, both the parliamentary faction and the Kaiser were taking huge risks. If the parliamentary faction failed, then the Kaiser would certainly not be lenient in the liquidation this time. Maybe the entire Social Democratic Party would be classified as an illegal party, and the leader would be even more vulnerable. No one can escape. And if the Kaiser fails, then the Emperor will be far away from power and act as a rubber stamp. That's right, they are far away from rights. So far, the parliamentary faction has no intention of really ousting the Kaiser from the throne. All they want is rights!
So, both parties felt that they could talk. As for the intermediaries, they have also been found. A week after the Berlin incident, the two parties began to contact each other, and then the negotiations continued intermittently until now.
"It's not going well. We agreed to abolish the hierarchical parliamentary system, but their price is not only to abolish the hierarchical parliamentary system, but also to make the prime minister responsible to the parliament instead of like a monarch, and to require the emperor not to dissolve the parliament at will. And in terms of Prussia's management rights , they also bite very hard." Prince Max said.
"Don't the parliamentarians still understand the situation? Even if I lose, even if I lose my rights, I am still the emperor, and I still have huge influence within the empire. And what about Albert? If they lose? They will Go to the gallows!" the Kaiser roared angrily.
"Yes, it is precisely because if they lose and lose their rights that they will be retaliated against, that's why they take their rights so seriously. In their view, an agreement reached after compromise cannot guarantee their safety, so They want to solve the problem once and for all," Prince Max said.
"Then we can drag it on. As soon as the British and French offensive ends, my Third Army will be free. Even if only one-fifth of the people are willing to follow us, then we and Marshal Moltke can easily kill the Parliament. Even if the other group army commanders do not support us, they will never stop us." The Crown Prince said bitterly.
"Do you mean to delay it?" the Kaiser asked rhetorically.
"Yes, if the delay continues, we no longer worry about problems on the front line, and the army in our hands is definitely stronger than the parliamentary faction. Our people are all veterans of hundreds of battles. The parliamentary faction cannot increase their military strength in a short period of time. Yes. And there is General Mackensen. If his troops can come back, we can easily send Albert and others to the gallows!" the crown prince said.
Therefore, after a small circle of discussions, the Kaiser made two decisions. The first was naturally to denounce the actions of the Poles and give the Bavarian Army authorization to operate in Silesia. At the same time, he stated that the German Empire would not give the Poles the right to establish a state! The second thing is to continue to delay and wait until the Western Front has completely returned to normal before saying anything else.
At this time in Berlin, all the top leaders of the parliamentary faction, including Albert, finally breathed a sigh of relief. This was not just because a serious problem had been dealt with by the Bavarian army. (Actually, the two sides have not yet fought at this time, but based on previous estimates of the combat effectiveness of the Bavarian Army, this Polish army is already dead.)
More importantly, Albert and others believe that Bavaria is showing favor to the parliamentary faction?
"I really didn't expect it,
The Bavarian army actually directly helped us kill the Poles. I once imagined at least three more ways to stop the Polish advance, but now, we have achieved this goal without consuming a single soldier or bullet. It seems that Crown Prince Ruprecht's dissatisfaction with the Kaiser has transcended class boundaries. "Albert said excitedly during the meeting.
"Can we consider that the Bavarian Army is now at least half of our allies? If possible, I hope that we can establish direct contact with Crown Prince Ruprecht. Any issue other than the Prussian regime can be discussed." said Hasse, of the centrist Social Democratic Party.
In fact, the bottom line of the Social Democratic Party is far less high than they claim, and the reform of the Imperial Parliament is actually negotiable, because the nobles have very little influence on party politics. However, Prussia's internal rights must be fought for. Of course, this is also the fundamental reason why the parliamentarians and the Kaiser are irreconcilable.
"If it is a new territorial issue, our bottom line is to ensure that the previous agreement between the Kaiser and Bavaria can be fulfilled, and there can be minor changes, but the overall direction cannot be changed." Landsberg thought for a while and said.
"That's okay." Albert nodded as the boss. The cake gained on the Eastern Front this time was so huge that it was entirely possible to change the balance of power between Prussia and Bavaria. Therefore, on this issue, Albert and others will never let go too much. Of course, this issue must be flexibly grasped, and some places can be considered. After all, using the army requires military expenditures!
"Although Crown Prince Ruprecht's actions have helped us strategically, I think the key between us is definitely not allies but enemies! He has captured what the people want very well! Interest and fairness! However, this kind of benefits and fairness are obtained under the leadership of the king. He is telling the people that the king of Bavaria can give them these without expecting the parliament and political parties. We have lost the biggest propaganda advantage." Scheide on the side Man finally couldn't help but said.
"Do you understand what I mean? In fact, who are the people who really support us? Who do we really rely on? You should know better than me. Without the large amounts of funds and other support given to us by factory owners and bankers, , we will never have what we have today, and the rewards we give them are also to facilitate them to make money, and now, the crown prince has put forward a new point of view, the country will exist as an arbiter of income and benefit distribution, and they will The excess funds from the capitalists will be compensated to the common people through taxes or other methods, and this will inevitably harm the interests of the sponsors behind us."
