Chapter 2368 Failed Persuasion II
"Damn! Crook, if you have such a rich imagination?" Prime Minister Holweger complained frantically in his heart, but he couldn't explain it, how could he explain it? Because Prime Minister Holweg really doesn’t know why Xiao Moqi didn’t come with him. After all, he is just a politician, not a soldier. He doesn’t understand Crook’s emphasis on military relations. He thinks that the two sides are just discussing politics. What are you doing with Moqi?
He couldn't explain it casually, because Crook on the opposite side would definitely not believe it! He will think that Prime Minister Holweg is avoiding the important... .
So, the current situation has become, I don't listen to your explanation, your explanation is to cover up the situation. So, Prime Minister Holweg found himself really chatting to death.... What's even more sad is that Holwig doesn't even know whether the little Moltke is really willing to follow the order to attack Prussia in the parliament. The degree of control is also not confident. How will you choose when you are going to make do with it now, and you have to fight, and the old Prussia wins and loses? It is estimated that Xiao Maoqi will also choose to make do with it, right? Holweg said in his heart.
It's over, and now Prime Minister Holweg, who is a lobbyist, has also voted. In this case, are you still convincing others? Wash and sleep!
"I hope you can think about my suggestion for yourself. The door of cooperation between us is always open. If you miss this opportunity, both you and we will regret it for the rest of our lives." Prime Minister Holweg still threw down a sentence.
"I hope that next time we meet again, we won't be discussing this kind of thing." Admiral Crook said.
"Your Majesty, General Crook rejected our proposal." After returning to the Palace of Sanssouci, Prime Minister Holweg reported the basic situation of the negotiations to the Kaiser.
"It seems that our plan needs to be changed this time." Contrary to Holweg's expectations, the Kaiser was not furious when he heard the news of the failure. "Calm" again.
"Yes, it is really not easy to restore the glory of Prussia in one step, and Marshal Maoqi does not agree to use force to solve this problem." The Grand Duke of Baden said. While Holweg was negotiating with Admiral Crook, the Kaiser personally summoned Moltke to inquire about his attitude. However, this time, Moltke once again voted against the Kaiser's proposal, with an unusually firm attitude! Xiao Moqi made it clear that for the sake of the stability of the empire, he would never issue orders related to the civil war. Ever since, the Kaiser's plan has come to an end, and it is impossible to solve the problem through violence.
Is there any way for the Kaiser to enforce it? This is theoretically possible, such as driving Moltke from the position of chief of the general staff of the Kaiser-Prussia, and then replacing him with someone who agrees. But the Kaiser, who had already experienced a political storm, was really afraid.
Although Moltke's refusal made the Kaiser very angry, the only person the Kaiser really trusts in the German army is Moltke! Who can guarantee that the person replaced is not the second Hindenburg? Besides, even if someone is changed, what will the German army think of the Kaiser? People are thoughtful, little Maoqi was dismissed by the Kaiser, but in the most difficult moment, little Maoqi still supported the Kaiser. Now, Xiao Moqi was dismissed again? What will others think? By that time, the Kaiser was really afraid that he would be alone! At that time, not to mention the restoration of old Prussia, even the rights of the Kaiser Prussia may not be preserved!
"It's a pity that with such a good opportunity, we can't do anything.
"Prime Minister Holweg said with some regret.
"No, we will not give up this opportunity. We have to give the Social Democratic Party a little color. If we don't want to annex Prussia, then we are standing with Bavaria, and we can still get a lot." Kaiser said .
"For example, control over the Imperial Diet?" Holweg said.
"Not only this, do you still remember how Silesia entered the hands of the Parliament? Isn't it because the locals were dissatisfied with our indulgence of the Poles and chose to vote to join the Parliament? In this case, we can repeat this operation, Let the whole of Hanover enter Kaiser Prussia." The Kaiser said with a smile.
"However, if we want to achieve this, we must obtain the approval of Bavaria, and then Bavaria will come forward to persuade the southern states, plus the states in Germany that are close to you, it will be difficult for us to pass this matter in the Federal Parliament Not too much." The Grand Duke of Baden thought for a while and said.
"Well then, Grand Duke of Baden, I will personally negotiate with Ruprecht on this matter. I hope you can inform him, and then inform him of our general thoughts. At the same time, send a message to Marshal Moltke and the Duke of Württemberg Invitation, we need to clarify some things." William II said firmly.
"You don't need me to do it for you?" the Grand Duke of Baden said with some surprise.
"Thank you, cousin. You have supported me as always. Our friendship has surpassed monarchs and subjects and blood. Everything you have done to the Hohenzollern family will be remembered by me and my descendants. But this time The talks will determine the pattern of the empire for the next ten years. As the emperor, I must personally undertake such matters that determine the fate of the country. After all, this is my responsibility." William II's words contained rare gratitude and firmness, After experiencing so many things, William II is indeed growing, although his growth is far from enough in the eyes of some people!
"Then what about His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?" the Grand Duke of Baden asked after thinking about it. He thinks the prince should take part in this matter, after all, he will be the future Kaiser!
"He won't use it, otherwise there will be too many people on our side, and other participants will feel uncomfortable." The Kaiser hesitated and said.
"Okay." The Grand Duke of Baden looked at Wilhelm II with a complex expression. He could already feel the hesitation and entanglement in the Kaiser's heart, not for this matter, but for more important things! The Kaiser was very dissatisfied with the current crown prince, who he thought was more impulsive and incompetent than him. And life is very erosive. If this kind of thing was put before the war, the Kaiser might tolerate it, but now? Hehe, William II is really afraid that once he gives the throne to the crown prince, the Hohenzollern family will be thrown into the mortal world next year!
He appreciates Prince Albert, but now, when other things have not been handled well, the Kaiser will naturally not make troubles. Therefore, this time the Kaiser's idea is very simple, neither the Crown Prince nor Prince Albert will participate!
