Chapter 2327 Disputes II
"Let me think about it, what is the reason that His Excellency the Grand Duke of Baden and Mr. Hassey came to my official residence." Looking at the two high-ranking Prussian officials who arrived, Ruprecht said with a smile, his expression even There are some jokes: "We have now made a breakthrough in our negotiations with the British. Before the official conclusion of the negotiations, the British have succumbed and started to pay us compensation. At this time, the heavyweights of the Kaiser and Parliament If the characters appear together, then it must be a matter of profit distribution."
"I understand everyone's feelings very well. Isn't our desperate fighting and planning just for today? Fortunately, the current Bavaria cannot be ignored. If it was before, I am afraid that the two of you would not even have the intention to come to see me, right?" Crown Prince The chill in the seemingly plain words made the two of them feel uncomfortable.
Although the Grand Duke of Baden is the fifth largest mountain in the empire, compared with the crown prince who now controls Bavaria and the Austro-Hungarian Empire at the same time, a duke of a principality with an original area of only more than 20,000 square kilometers is really nothing. The taboo is because he is the representative of the Kaiser! To put it bluntly, the Grand Duke of Baden is a little pretentious.
This is even more so for Hassai. Now you are an important leader of the parliamentary faction, but can you stay in this position forever? Obviously impossible, think about the ease with which the Crown Prince handled Scheideman back then. If Bavaria wants to target Hasai, it is actually not difficult. After all, there are too many shady scenes in the parliament itself. And Hasse obviously couldn't clean himself up on some issues!
"Okay, at least you are still people who abide by the rules. Maybe your arrival has some hostility, but you are going to use negotiation to solve the problem, instead of directly bayoneting in the Imperial Conference or the Federal Parliament. This makes me I'm very pleased. Please, both of you." Ruprecht first walked into the conference room after speaking, and after the Archduke of Baden and Hasai exchanged glances, the two sides nodded silently, and then followed in. In a matter of seconds, the two finally determined their attitudes toward each other—unanimously speaking out!
What is an ally? One of the most basic principles most of the time is to carry the pot together.... As for the matter of hatred, everyone should share it together. Therefore, after a short greeting, according to the previous agreement, the Grand Duke of Baden spoke first.
"His Royal Highness has always adhered to the idea that what is paid determines the reward. I agree with this very much. Before, when the new territories on the Eastern Front were distributed, it was your country that presided over the distribution, and our other states cooperated. Now, When distributing on the Western Front, I hope that you can continue to uphold this philosophy, after all, the old Prussia paid too much price and blood for the Western Front. We fought for more than 2 years."
In just a few words, the Grand Duke of Baden can be said to be careful in every word. He tried his best to clarify his thoughts without overly provoking the crown prince on the opposite side. The Grand Duke of Baden would never dare to mention that he would not benefit Bavaria, nor would he say that it was not his business to exclude the Austro-Hungarian Empire. He just wanted to gain the other party's approval on certain ideas through righteousness. At the same time, he proposed the concept of Old Prussia at the end, and the most fundamental purpose was to bring in the parliament faction! Let the other party have no chance to repent, because the concept of old Prussia itself represents the two major states of the current Kaiser and Parliament!
After finishing speaking, the Grand Duke first glanced at the calm-looking crown prince. The other party seemed to have a normal reaction, so he breathed a sigh of relief, and then he secretly signaled to Hasai: It's your turn! Everyone agreed, we will carry the pot together!
"During the entire war, the German Empire undertook more than 93% of the combat tasks on the Western Front, and the Austro-Hungarian Army did not play a substantial role. Therefore, I think that when distributing the reparations and colonies of Britain and France,
Let's take care of the Austro-Hungarian Empire only symbolically. After all we have given them most of Ukraine and nearly half of Belarus and parts of Romania. That's enough. And from the perspective of the empire itself, we also need a lot of money to recover. I think as a German you should understand what we are thinking. "Hasai did not miss the appointment, and stepped forward decisively!"
The Grand Duke of Baden directly avoided the issue of Bavaria, only emphasizing the contribution of old Prussia, and the same is true for Hasse. He did not dare to directly mention Bavaria, but started from the Austro-Hungarian Empire. After all, in the current talks, Rupre Hitt communicated with the other party as the crown prince of Bavaria, not the regent of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. If it was the latter, then the Grand Duke of Baden and Hasse would never talk to you! Because you are not German!
Hassey repeatedly emphasized the interests of Germany and the Germans, just to remind the crown prince to put his identity right, and the combat mission issue mentioned earlier was just to enhance his persuasiveness. A little loophole.
"This combination of punches is not bad, and it can give you 80 points." Ruprecht gave an evaluation of the opponent's first round of offensive in his heart. Overall the offense is pretty good. However, the remaining 20 points gap allowed the crown prince to find a counterattack point! Whether it is the Grand Duke of Baden or Hasay, they have problems.
"Old Prussia and other states did undertake most of the combat tasks in the battle on the Western Front. I admit this." The Crown Prince said first. The so-called internal negotiations must always be reasonable, and their contributions cannot be denied, so they must be compensated according to the price. This is the basic principle of the crown prince, not only for the interior of Bavaria, but also for the interior of Germany. This country is united! Therefore, it is appropriate and necessary for Old Prussia and other states to get more than half of the benefits, and there is nothing to say.
"But it doesn't mean that Bavaria has no say in the distribution of benefits. After all, during the civil strife in the empire, we helped the Western Front Army to stabilize the battlefield. In the final battle, the Bavarian Army and the Austrian-Hungarian Army participated in the battle Not much less than the old Prussian Legion! In the Norwegian Sea battle, all the carrier-based aircraft pilots were from Bavaria, and I, as the only Reichsmarshal of Germany, commanded the entire Western Front and the naval and air force operations.”
"Well then, I would like to ask a question. In this case, if Bavaria's signature is not on the final benefit distribution plan, do you think it is reasonable?" Ruprecht asked rhetorically.
