Chapter 2367 Failed Persuasion One

"Your Majesty will change. A person will always change after going through so many things." Prime Minister Holweg whispered. The Kaiser has indeed changed, but it seems to be far from the general's request?

"Well, let's not worry about these, let's change the question." Admiral Crook said impatiently: "If His Majesty the Kaiser really intends to restore the old Prussia, how does he plan to solve the various problems caused by it?" ?We know that the Kingdom of Bavaria is definitely not willing, because this will put them in a position of being suppressed again. How will the millions of Social Democrats deal with it? Is it like burning wizards in the Middle Ages to clean up thoroughly? Once some things happen, it is very difficult Going back to the past, although I don’t have a good impression of the Social Democratic Party, I admit that they gave other classes of people a channel to rise. If everything goes back to the past, I think that the German Empire will face extremely serious opposition!”

Admiral Crook was not joking when he said this. In the Kaiser's era, Prussia's tolerance of Bavaria was based on the Kaiser's willingness to do so! Because at that time, the Kaiser needed the military power and development of Bavaria, needed an external king to contain the power of domestic political parties, and needed to appease other states. The Kaiser was not weak enough to suppress Bavaria, but because of checks and balances and needs in all aspects. In other words, Bavaria was weak at the time and posed no threat to the Kaiser.

But, it's different now! Even without considering the support of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Bavaria itself is a big country with more than 300,000 square kilometers of land! Prussia is still strong, but it is not enough to completely suppress it. Simply speaking of territory, Prussia was close to 5 to 1 against Bavaria before, but now? The area is 2 to 1! In addition, Bavaria still has the support of the southern states and the support of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. To put it bluntly, if it really fights, Prussia may not win!

"Bavaria? This is an internal matter of Prussia, he has no right to intervene, and I believe that Crown Prince Ruprecht will not take the risk of civil war against His Majesty the Emperor. As for the social democratic parties? Some people let bygones be bygones," said Prime Minister Holweg.

"I don't think His Majesty's attempt to restore the old Prussia will be successful. The risk is even higher than during the period of civil unrest, because we have just finalized a legal state established by law in Munich for several months. country, and now, taking advantage of the internal chaos of this state, other states have eaten it without hesitation. Think about it, how chaotic and disorderly this is? The last time the German Empire forcibly annexed other states It needs to be traced back to the period of the Prussian-Austro-Prussian War! This kind of behavior will make all the states fear. It will cause strong confrontation between Prussia, Bavaria and even the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and there will be a bloody storm in Prussia! This price is really too high Taller."

Looking at Prime Minister Holweg, who had already written his disappointment on his face, Admiral Crook continued: "Moreover, from your performance today, I not only saw the behavior of the Kaiser, but also saw his behavior. Weak. He is still not able to deal with the internal problems of Kaiser-Prussia, at least on this matter is far from reaching agreement."

"Your Excellency, General, I don't understand what you mean. The entire kingdom, from His Majesty the Emperor to the people below, hope to restore the glory of old Prussia." Holweg said loudly.

"Hehe, if that's the case, then you won't be the one who came to persuade me, at least you won't be the only one." Admiral Crook said.

"What do you mean?" Holweg felt that the situation seemed to be out of control, and his last chance to convince the admiral in front of him might be completely lost in a few seconds!

"I always think,

Among the people who came as lobbyists should be Marshal Maoqi. After all, in terms of loyalty, Marshal Maoqi has always been loyal to His Majesty. Fighting for the rights of the emperor, purely from the perspective of loyalty, I think the marshal is a person worthy of admiration. "

"Well, here comes the question, whether it is Marshal Moltke's previous reputation, ability, or from the perspective of loyalty to His Majesty the Kaiser, why did the person who is the best lobbyist not appear in front of me, but you , Prime Minister Holweg, a person who has nothing to do with the army has come here? Is it because the Field Marshal is in poor health and is not suitable to come out? If I remember correctly, Marshal Moltke had just participated in the Kaiser His Majesty's banquet, and since this banquet, Marshal Maoqi has never appeared in public again, and I don't know why." Admiral Crook said word by word.

Obviously, the careful Crook is definitely not the master who just stays at home and keeps his ears shut. He is collecting all kinds of information, including the internal problems of the Kaiser system. And through the information collected before, Admiral Crook concluded that there was another split within the Kaiser! And this split seems to be more serious! Because it was a split between the Kaiser and his most loyal military generals! This matter is troublesome. Although Marshal Xiao Maoqi chose to back down as always, this kind of rift will not be eliminated because of someone's concession!

If it is said that the Kaiser is consistent from top to bottom, coupled with his own efforts, there may still be about 20% confidence in completing the return of old Prussia this time, but now, there are cracks in the Kaiser's internal military level, then you still expect Solve the whole of parliamentary Prussia with the help of Crook? That's impossible! After all, you have not reached a consensus internally. Wouldn't it be courting death to carry out such a dangerous thing under internal and external troubles?

That's right, Crook made some deviations in his judgment on this matter. He guessed that the Kaiser and Little Moltke had a conflict because of certain things, but he didn't know the specific content of the conflict.

So, combined with the current situation, under Crook's imagination, the Kaiser asked Moltke whether he could solve the parliamentary Prussia by force, and Moltke rejected the proposal. Therefore, in Crook It seems that even Little Mao Qi, who is the most loyal to the Kaiser, is not optimistic about this matter, so why should he do it? And at Crook's age and status, if it's not a last resort, it's better to have one more thing than one less thing.

Therefore, when he saw that there was no little Maoqi among the people who came to visit him, Crook had already made it clear that he would not participate in any request made by the Kaiser!
