Chapter 2365 Prime Minister and General One

"It's absolutely possible, but I would like to remind you that time is fair. During this time, you can make amends, you can join forces, and so can we!" Ruprecht said.

At the same time, Prime Minister Holweg also came to the residence of Admiral Crook on behalf of the Kaiser. Yes, you read that right, the Kaiser is not only thinking about dealing with the Parliamentarians with Bavaria, he is also as reckless. As Precht expected, he always wants to restore the glory of old Prussia! Become the ruler of the German Empire again! And the easiest and most direct way is undoubtedly to contact Crook and use military means to get rid of the entire parliament faction!

"Your visit really surprised me." Admiral Crook said calmly, looking at Prime Minister Holweg who came to visit him.

"Since the division of old Prussia, I have never seen His Majesty the Emperor, His Excellency the Prime Minister, or any high-ranking old Prussian, except at the celebration of the victory of the Norwegian Sea War. I have become accustomed to being like a rag We were thrown aside, I understand your thoughts, you think we are traitors and accomplices to split old Prussia." Admiral Crook leaned forward slightly and said: "Well then, Your Excellency Prime Minister, now you are here What is the purpose? Do you think my old bones are useful again?" Admiral Crook's words were very unkind.

"It's hard for me to understand, as an old general who accompanied the rise of Prussia, as an old soldier who participated in the Austro-Prussian War and the Franco-Prussian War, and as one of the most trusted generals of His Majesty the Emperor, why do you have such great confidence in us? You would rather cooperate with Bavaria than meet an old friend from old Prussia, I really find it difficult to understand." Prime Minister Holweg said with a complex expression.

"From a personal point of view, I think that I am able to get to where I am today not because of the promotion of some people, but because of my one shot and one shot. I have accumulated merits to this level. I have a clear conscience. "Admiral Crook said.

"As for why we cooperate with Bavaria? From my personal point of view, first of all, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has given me enough respect. What he respects is not my power or my status. I am the commander of the group army, and in most When the generals on the Western Front will refer to my opinion, His Royal Highness will not treat me differently because of this. After the war is over, our role will be greatly reduced. When some people are going to take advantage of the opportunity to rectify Hindenburg to rectify me, It was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who helped me through this difficulty. From this point, I respect him for the rest of my life, whether he is the Crown Prince of Bavaria or a commoner. He said that we will be fine. What he promised, he delivered. Simple as that," Crook said.

"Well, I admit that some people really wanted to harm Your Excellency when the war just ended. His Majesty the Emperor didn't do anything, and I don't want to refute anything, but even because of personal factors, your respect for the Crown Prince should not affect your respect for the country. In the judgment of major events, the individual is the individual, and the country is the country!" Prime Minister Holweg did not intend to entangle too much on this issue, the reason is very simple. The neutral attitude really intends to deal with him, and there is no way to clear this up.

"Well then, let's talk about it, you came here, with my help, what can you do that is very beneficial to the empire?" Crook asked.

"Now there is a chance, a chance to restore the glory of old Prussia, we can rebuild the already weakened central power! Under the leadership of His Majesty Kaiser, Kaiser Prussia and Parliament Prussia will be reunited, our territory will be from Switzerland stretches to Minsk. The new Prussia will have more than 700,000 square kilometers of land.

and a population of over 60 million. This country will be the strongest country that has emerged on the European continent, stronger than the Napoleonic Empire, and under the leadership of Prussia, whether it is Bavaria or other states, will reunite and we will become the core of this world. "Prime Minister Holweg described to Crook the blueprint of the perfect empire in his heart.

"Well, this blueprint is really attractive. If things really develop like this, then it is indeed worth my efforts. But I hope you can answer some questions in advance. It can be regarded as a deal between us." Ke Admiral Luke said.

"Please speak," Prime Minister Holweg said.

"If we do what you say, what can my subordinates and I gain?" Admiral Crook asked a very real question.

"You will become the new Chief of Staff of the Empire, and your rights will be even greater than that of old Moltke. His Majesty the Emperor will give you sufficient support and trust. And all officers participating in this operation will also be promoted and rewarded. You and those close to you will become the top existence of this empire. Your family and descendants will be born noble." Prime Minister Holweg said.

"Is this considered an official appointment?" Admiral Crook asked.

"This is not a wish, but a promise made by His Majesty the Emperor. It is the same as what Crown Prince Ruprecht promised, and he will definitely fulfill it." Prime Minister Holweg said.

"If that's the case, then I can only say that this promise is terrible." Crook shook his head and said: "If all officers will be promoted and rewarded, then I wonder how large the German Empire needs to maintain the army size to Putting so many people down? Or are the future generals already so cheap that they have more tanks than ours?"

"You misunderstood me. What I said can be understood as saying that all officers will be properly placed." Prime Minister Holweg said immediately.

"Okay, I accept this explanation, so let's talk about the next question, the middle and high-level officers have been resettled, so what about the millions of low-level officers and ordinary soldiers? What about them? And the disabled, their What about treatment and compensation? I was promoted step by step from a commoner, and my name does not have the word Feng, which represents a prominent background. Even in my most glorious time, I kept a respectful distance from quite a few so-called noble people. You It can be said that I am too small to get rid of the bad roots of my background. But I must say that the Junker aristocratic system is very problematic. They monopolize social resources and limit the channels for advancement. This is not good for the country. And nobility is very repulsive!"
