Chapter 2360: Fermentation One
That's right, it is to coordinate with the Kaiser. Without the support of the Kaiser and Prussia, it is not so easy for Bavaria to convene a federal parliament to target the parliamentarians. Then when the Kaiser and Ruprecht stand together, then the parliamentary faction It has become a lamb waiting to be slaughtered. There is no way, the external pressure is huge, and the parliamentary faction who is in chaos inside can resist?
As a result, under the fuel of all aspects, this incident that originally happened in Hannover spread rapidly. Under the spread of the internal media of various states, such as parliamentary parties withholding subsidies for veterans and soldiers, dismissing former government personnel in violation of regulations, collusion between government officials and businessmen Doing private transactions and other things have been exposed. Some things are true and some things are false. Of course, in this kind of carpet bombing situation, the parliamentarians can't justify themselves even if they want to! After all, you can take measures against Bangguo's internal media, but you have no control over Bangguo's external media! And now, this storm finally caught the attention of the Kaiser and the Grand Duke of Baden!
"It seems that parliamentary Prussia has recently caused a major incident." In the Palace of Sanssouci, the Kaiser said comfortably to the Grand Duke of Baden and Prime Minister Holweg beside him.
"The reason is very simple, because the Social Democratic Party withheld the compensation of retired officers and soldiers, but what happened later was very abnormal. The army of the entire state chose to watch with a tendency. Although the demonstrations were huge, they did not affect social order. The impact is very small, and it mainly targets some government agencies and subordinate groups of the Social Democratic Party. It is impossible to say that there is no one behind it." Prime Minister Holweg said.
"If there is no accident, it should be Ruprecht who is manipulating all this. According to our information, before the incident, Admiral Crook and Admiral House had visited Crown Prince Ruprecht. I don't believe that they have no deal, and large-scale demonstrations require organization and a lot of funds, and they need someone to help them end. Otherwise, after the matter subsides, it is almost impossible for those who took the lead to die well. "The Grand Duke of Baden said with a complex expression.
In his opinion, things like the purge of nobles in the army by the Social Democratic Party and the embezzlement of compensation for retired officers and soldiers are indeed abhorrent, but how to put it, after all, it has nothing to do with him. It's just disgusting, and I don't intend to seek justice for some people, but this kind of army's direct choice of cold confrontation is a bit irritating to the Grand Duke. After all, no leader wants the army to play the role of arbitrator in the country's governance. To put it bluntly, this time Crook and the others have gone too far. This is not the actions of individual officers alone, but the actions of a state and the entire military class. This is a big problem!
Today is parliamentary Prussia, so will it be Kaiser Prussia tomorrow? If a powerful empire allows the army to take power, then this is simply too terrible. Therefore, in the view of the Grand Duke of Baden, no matter what the starting point of this matter is, at this point today, the Grand Duke of Baden is very serious about Crook and others. There will be no good impression! After all, the attitude of the army amidst the internal turmoil during the war also offended the Kaiser.
"Bavaria really has nothing to do with this matter. I don't know what benefits Bavaria has given Crook and them, making these people willingly sacrifice their lives." The Kaiser said a little depressed. After all, in this incident, Ruprech Tet has shown that he has more control over the army than himself. This kind of stimulation has been a bit too much recently. Whether it is Mackensen's friendly tendency towards Bavaria or the cooperation between Crook and others and the crown prince, it shows that within the current empire, Germany In addition to the righteousness represented by the crown on the head of the emperor, the influence and energy in other aspects are really not as good as Bavaria in the south.
"Okay, the reason and process of the matter are not important, what is important is what attitude we should adopt this time? Obviously, there is a problem within the parliamentary Prussia, and our previous cooperation plan with the parliamentary faction may not be able to be implemented. Already!" The Kaiser obviously meant something.
The current situation is very clear, and the parliamentary faction cannot spare time, so it is naturally impossible for the Kaiser to persuade Bavaria to accept the initial compensation distribution plan. Now that the first batch of compensation from the British has arrived in the account one after another, it is indeed a bit embarrassing to see that a large amount of funds and materials cannot be used.
"Will the parliamentary faction consider reconciliation with Bavaria?" Prime Minister Holweg said suddenly.
"Reconciliation? The price must be to increase the income of Bavaria and the Austro-Hungarian Empire in exchange for the other party's concessions. However, the compensation is limited. Unless they are willing to significantly reduce their due part, otherwise, they can only be on us. Let's do it!" The Grand Duke of Baden was also vigilant!
The Grand Duke of Baden doesn't know how much Ruprecht is going to allocate to Austria, but he knows that Bavaria's 15% is unlikely to be reduced. Other than the 15% of all the states except the Big Three, it is not too much. May be cut. The former is based on Bavaria's contribution and strength as a footnote, and if the latter is changed without authorization, it will cause public outrage!
"Is Ruprecht taking any action on this matter? It's almost brewing now. If there is a backup, then it's time to do it?" The Kaiser touched his chin and said.
"From what we have collected so far, the Bavarian side is going to raise this matter in the Federal Parliament!" Holweg said. As the Prime Minister of the German Empire, as the Kaiser has been entrenched in Berlin for many years, if you want to say who is the most informed in this city, it must be the Kaiser! So it is natural that the Kaiser can get these news.
"However, they haven't launched it yet, so they are waiting, waiting for us or the parliament faction, and choose the one with the highest offer to cooperate!" The Grand Duke of Baden pointed out the problem.
"Rupprecht is as shrewd as ever. He always has the most advantageous position. When we and the parliamentary faction are ready to jointly restrict him, he will choose a weak one from us and attack, thus taking advantage of our inner greed. You want to divide us." The Kaiser said unwillingly.
Ruprecht's plan is something that a sensible person can understand at a glance. It is nothing more than taking advantage of the distrust and egotism between the Kaiser and the parliamentarians. The foundation of the Kaiser and the Parliament faction is to gain more benefits, and their starting point is their own. What they care about is the amount of benefits they get rather than who their friends or enemies are. The parliamentarians considered the issue of reversing if necessary before formulating their plans, and the Kaiser did the same.
