Chapter 2328 Disputes Three
"Fuck, it's sharp!" Both the Grand Duke of Baden and Hassey were shocked, because Ruprecht's counterattack was indeed just right. The strategies of the Kaiser and the Parliament faction are about averages. For example, how much old Prussia invested in a normal war, and how much Bavaria invested. You see, Bavaria actually did not invest much in troops and equipment, so we should leading.
But Bavaria emphasizes the role of the final word! For example, the two sides are fighting with 10,000 people each, and the result is inextricably fought. Suddenly at a critical moment, someone on one side quickly enters the battlefield with 2,000 elites and directly defeats the opponent in one fell swoop. Do 2,000 of the ordinary 10,000 people have the same effect? Can credit be counted head to head?
If we analyze it more technically, it is that although the Bavarian Army did not invest a lot of troops throughout the war, at the last moment, the Bavarian Army can do things that the Prussian Army cannot do. The large-scale armored force made a deep assault with the cooperation of the air force. Without this unique tactical and technical advantage, even if you increase the Prussian Army, you will not be able to succeed. Therefore, the meaning of the Crown Prince is very clear, and the military exploits on the Western Front cannot be counted in this way!
At the same time, the crown prince mentioned two other things. The first thing was the internal turmoil in Old Prussia! When the Kaiser and the parliament faction were in conflict, it was Bavaria that stabilized the situation on the Western Front. How do you credit for this? Whether there is Bavaria's help or not is an essential difference!
And the second thing is to become the commander-in-chief of the German army on the western front. In the end, Ruprecht was the last commander-in-chief of Germany on the western front! This is the name, this is the righteousness! After you affirmed Ruprecht's talent and the status of the Bavarian Army, you gave me the position of commander-in-chief. Well, now it's time to distribute the benefits, and you kicked me away. Is this fair? As the highest commander in the decisive battle on the Western Front, he was also the largest legion of the states on the Western Front at that time. (Because the old Prussia had been divided at that time, neither the Kaiser nor the Parliament sent as many troops on the Western Front as the Bavarian Army.) When the plan for the distribution of benefits was finally formulated, Ruprecht could not participate in it. What do you mean? ?
Politicians can be shameless, but there must be a bottom line, especially when the opponent you are facing has the ability to turn the table! Even though the Kaiser can make a proposal and the parliamentarians can guarantee its passage in the Reichstag, in the end, Bavaria still has the opportunity to deny it in the Federal Parliament. So this is definitely not something that can be done by coercion. The two parties must contact each other, and then slowly find common ground!
"We are not trying to deprive the Kingdom of Bavaria of the interests of the Kingdom of Bavaria. We are just making some suggestions on the distribution of benefits and formulating a plan that is most suitable for the German Empire." If there is no way to refute within time, Hassai has to give it a shot. And the words just now were actually just to ease the deadlock.
"Mr. Hassey, what you said just now was also a bit wrong. You said that the territory of the Austro-Hungarian Empire in Ukraine was given by Germany? This description is not accurate, because many territories in Ukraine are indeed shot by the Austro-Hungarian Empire. It was developed slowly, there is no doubt about it, the size of the Austro-Hungarian Army was always the first in the Eastern Front War, this point, if you are adhering to a neutral point of view, then you must admit it.”
"If your statement goes a little deeper, I want to explain that even if the Austro-Hungarian Empire received the support of the German Empire, it was also supported by the Bavarian Army, whether it was Ukraine, Romania, Serbia, or southern Belarus. All the battles in these places Nothing to do with old Prussia! On the contrary,
Quite a few Austro-Hungarian regiments did take part in the battles in Poland and even the Baltic coast, I hope you can tell the difference and be careful when you speak! This is a political error! " Ruprecht said seriously.
"This... I don't mean that." After hearing the crown prince's speech, Hase immediately felt drops of cold sweat break out from his scalp. He wanted to explain, but didn't know how.
You said that the German Empire supported the Austro-Hungarian Empire and became the key to winning the Eastern Front. This is true, but if you say that everything that the Austro-Hungarian Empire gained was given by Germany, then it is nonsense! Although in the war, the crown prince's legion played the most important role, but don't forget that Ruprecht's legion is essentially divided into two parts: the Bavarian legion and the Bohemian legion! It is a mixed force of the German Empire and the Austro-Hungarian Empire! And some of the troops of the Bomician Army did participate in many battles along the Baltic Sea, including the Battle of the Gulf of Riga. After all, apart from Bavaria, the legions of other German states did not have many people on the Eastern Front. If Mackensen wants to maintain the offensive, he has to pull people from elsewhere!
So objectively speaking, even if the Austro-Hungarian Empire accepts favors from Bavaria, it has nothing to do with your old Prussia! At this point, the crown prince can use this to accuse the Austro-Hungarian Empire, but the old Prussia is not qualified! On the contrary, whether it is Old Prussia or other states, the blood of the officers and soldiers of the Austro-Hungarian Empire was sprinkled in the territories allocated on the Eastern Front. It can be said that the benefits gained by the old German Prussia far outweighed what they paid, and a considerable part of their colonies were built with the help of Bavaria and the Austro-Hungarian Empire! Well, if you want to do the math, how much did Old Prussia pay for these colonies?
What's the matter? The benefits of the eastern route are for nothing, and the western route just wants to stop throwing up at all? Or just thinking about it? Where in the world does such a good thing come from? Even if Germany decides the allocation of the Western Front, you can't do this, can you? Up to now, the crown prince has gained a moral advantage, but this is not the end, because the following words are a reminder to Hasai, even a warning!
There is a saying that misfortune comes out of your mouth, and it applies to almost everyone, even the Kaiser. … And if Hassey's speech just now spreads out, especially if it is heard by the ambassador of the Austro-Hungarian Empire to Germany, it can definitely cause a diplomatic storm! After all, Hassey did say the wrong thing and hurt the feelings of his allies. And then, who will help him? Anyway, the Kaiser faction will definitely not, because there are no benefits but troubles. The parliamentary faction will not protect one person to death. The greatest flexibility of party politics lies in the fact that it can introduce a scapegoat at any time. Anyway, there are many high-level parliamentarians. If a Hasai goes down, others can make up for it, and the party itself is damaged. Not big.
