Chapter 1881 Birds of a Feather Flock Together and People Are Divided Into Groups II

"Prussia is very strong, but the rift can no longer be healed. This is like a power dispute within a big family. If no one can overwhelm the other, what is the best choice to avoid both dying together? You should know." Hesitating After a while, August III finally said something very important in a rather cryptic manner.

"This....They actually want...." Albrecht's pupils suddenly shrank, and in an instant, the Grand Duke seemed to realize that something was happening. After several minutes, His Excellency the Grand Duke, who was drenched in cold sweat, took out a handkerchief from his pocket tremblingly.

"If this is the case, the situation will be complicated." The Grand Duke said with a sigh.

"Actually, the Parliament faction is stronger than we imagined. Don't forget that there are three free cities and the Alsace-Lorraine region in the empire. These places are not the traditional territories of the nobility, and some small states are also It can be easily captured from within," said Augustus III. "So, do you see what I mean?"

Listening to the deep voice on the other side, Albrecht fell into deep thought. The Grand Duke who can reach 80 points in politics naturally understands what the King of Saxony said! He has already thought that Prussia will be separated in the future and a country dominated by party politics will be established. Then the future empire will be the situation of the Big Three. After August III emphasized the possible allies of the parliamentary faction, the Grand Duke realized a problem , That is, Bavaria, Kaiser Prussia, and Parliament Prussia all have the ability to veto a proposal at the imperial level. After all, it must be passed by three quarters to be effective!

If one can see the above two points, the political level must reach 70 points, so what can Archduke Albrecht, a good student with 80 points, see? That is, as a player of the next level, life may be difficult for the future Kingdom of Württemberg...  

How was the original time? The Prussian family dominates, and sometimes for their own interests, the three southern kingdoms need to act jointly, and there will inevitably be some exchange of interests between them. Württemberg is very important to both Prussia and Bavaria. You can have both sides. If Bavaria wants to veto a proposal, it must have Württemberg's support. After all the gap between 6 votes and 17 votes is a bit big....

But the situation is different now. After this war, in the Federal Parliament, the number of Bavarian votes will increase, and the proportion will also increase. Coupled with Saxony and the two Grand Duchess of the Mecklenburg family who helped them restore their country, Bavaria already has the ability to independently veto the proposal.

Kaiser Prussia also has it, because after all, the Kaiser has the support of the Grand Duchy of Baden and the Grand Duchy of Oldenburg (the daughter of the Grand Duke of Oldenburg married the son of William II.) After receiving the support of the two Grand Duchess, the Kaiser Prussia also has the ability to veto a proposal.

Even the weakest parliamentary faction among the three parties can still get the support of the three free cities (Bremen, Hamburg, Lübeck) and Alsace-Lorraine, a direct jurisdiction of the empire! And many of the princely kingdoms and duchies of the empire are only square kilometers in size. In fact, the significance of such states to the empire lies in the vote of the federal parliament... For a behemoth like the Social Democratic Party, they are really hard to resist! Therefore, it is also possible to admit counsel when necessary and follow a certain party.

Therefore, the status of the Kingdom of Württemberg is a bit embarrassing. Any party can easily veto a proposal without the help of Württemberg. If a proposal wants to be passed, the Big Three must agree. What happened to the Kingdom of Württemberg.... So from a political pragmatism point of view,

The status of Württemberg has been lowered!

So now the question is, what should the Kingdom of Württemberg do if it wants to protect its own interests? At present, the sure way is to hug the thigh. The only difference is which thigh to choose? Parliamentary Prussia can be skipped directly. This time, the affairs of the parliamentary faction have had an extremely negative impact on the kingdom. The bourgeois parliamentary system and the king are inherently hostile. Württemberg will never follow the parliamentary faction.

The Kaiser is also not a good choice, because, from the perspective of Württemberg's history, the key between this kingdom and Prussia is not much harmony. Now that the power and prestige of the Kaiser have dropped significantly, Grand Duke Albrecht also expressed doubts about the ability of the Kaiser himself, so the option of the Kaiser can also be removed.

So now it is obvious that the best choice is naturally to cooperate with Bavaria, which has a good relationship with the Kingdom of Württemberg in history. Now, Grand Duke Albrecht finally understands the purpose of what the King of Saxony in front of him said. Yes, I want to persuade the Kingdom of Württemberg to form an alliance with Bavaria.

However, Albrecht expressed his gratitude for Bavaria's help to the Kingdom of Wurttemberg during the period of turmoil, but at the same time, the interests of the kingdom also made him have to fight for the part of the benefits that the Kingdom of Wurttemberg deserved. Perhaps the Grand Duchy of Baden and the Kingdom of Saxony have little interest in expanding their territories, but Württemberg is different.

"The Kingdom of Bavaria is a trustworthy friend. Since before the establishment of the empire, Bavaria has guaranteed that the surrounding states will not be squeezed by Prussia and Austria. Our friendship is very long-standing." The Grand Duke said: "Then the distribution of benefits this time How to proceed? Do the King and Crown Prince have any ideas?" In fact, the Grand Duke is also asking how much Württemberg can get this time!

"There are two options. The first option is to directly select Russian Poland. Bavaria and Prussia are going to take out 30,000 square kilometers of territory for distribution to other kingdoms. The second option is the more remote Ukraine, the Baltic Sea coast, and In other regions of Russia, more land can be allocated here." August III said.

"And what about Transcaucasus?" asked the Grand Duke.

"Theoretically, the Transcaucasus region can also be allocated, but because it is at the crossroads of the entire Eurasian continent, with Russia to the north, the Turkish allies to the south, and the Caspian Sea to the east and the Black Sea to the west, the strategic location is very important, and ethnic issues are more complicated. If you want to go there, you must have a large garrison, and the garrison must be under the command of His Royal Highness Ruprecht. Anyway, Saxony has no interest." August III said.

"Comparatively speaking, what Saxony wants is the Polish region, and we can probably get a square kilometer of land. Although it is a little less, the foundation is not bad." August III said very frankly.
