Chapter 2374: The Opening of the Drama One

how to say? It is necessary. After all, it is the most elite unit in Prussia, and the scale is very large. After learning, you can be a group army commander with a little training. Don’t laugh, it’s true. At that time, there were 6 regiments in strength, and now the strength has been expanded, with armored regiments and an independent air force establishment. As the powerful royal family members of the kingdoms of Prussia, Bavaria and Württemberg, they all know some military affairs more or less.

However, putting Prince Albert directly in charge of the work of the Kaiser's Guard has obvious political significance. At least it shows that in the future, Prince Albert will not be an idle prince. As a politician who has been in Germany for more than 40 years, Ruprecht is very sensitive to such political events. In fact, except for very few special cases, the rights of non-heirs of the royal families of all countries are relatively small.

For example, Prince Heinrich, the brother of William II, although he has the rank of admiral of the Imperial Navy, is more of a reputation, whether it is history or this plane, commanding a group of former dreadnoughts wandering in the Baltic Sea. … Having status but no rights is the best description for them.

As for you saying there are no exceptions? There must be, for example, Duke Albrecht, although he has the blood of the Kingdom of Württemberg, he is not even considered a descendant. That's because the main line has no heirs, so the Duke has a chance to soar into the sky. Another exception is the crown prince's uncle, Prince Leopold, who has great power because he is too fierce.

However, judging from the Kaiser's arrangements for Prince Albert all the time, this has a tendency to be reused. After all, before World War I, Prince Albert had contact with Ruprecht on behalf of Prussia. Now, Prince Albert is doing things all the time, and doing things is the mark of reuse!

"In the future, Prince Albert will at least be at the level of the Prime Minister of Prussia?" Ruprecht said, looking at the young prince in front of him. Before, the Prime Minister of Prussia and the Prime Minister of the Reich were one person, but now, with the division of Prussia, it is unlikely that the Reich and the Prime Minister of Prussia will be the same person first, and according to the current suspicious character of the Kaiser, the appointment of a member of the royal family as the Prime Minister is also possible. As for whether Prince Albert has a chance to go further? This is really hard to say.

Of course, it is definitely not a matter of discussing the future successor of the Kaiser. If nothing else, the Kaiser in this plane can live at least after 1940... Considering this matter, it is better to consider why Prime Minister Holweg and Little Moltke walked through the side door... . After all, at the last moment, their early entry into the Sanssouci Palace was definitely not for convenience! What would the Kaiser say to them? Ruprecht didn't know, but he was sure that the Kaiser would not do useless work.

After Prince Albert explained, the Grand Duke of Baden breathed a sigh of relief. On the one hand, he finally didn't have to answer Ruprecht's question. On the other hand, he was very satisfied with Prince Albert's answer. , Whether the prince came up with it himself or someone else told him, Albert's answer is very appropriate, not only explaining the reason for his presence here, but also not causing political misjudgment, at least on the surface so.

After this little episode ended, the rest of the journey went very smoothly, and then there was an audience with the Kaiser, and then everyone took their seats as guests and hosts, and finally the idlers left the venue, and then the bosses were ready for a meeting.

"I think everyone should already know a little about the content of the meeting. Let's start with the matter in front of us. We should all know about the handling of the Social Democratic Party and what happened in Hannover and surrounding areas. and the trampling of the law,

It is a crime against a meritorious minister of the empire, this kind of thing must not be tolerated! If possible, I would like to punish the Social Democrats at the level of the Bundestag together with all of you here! "The Kaiser's voice echoed in the conference room.

According to the normal procedure, it should be the imperial government controlled by the Kaiser who initiated the proposal. Because it involves members of the parliament, it is somewhat difficult to pass it in the imperial parliament. Of course, if you are willing to pull out the "nails" one by one, that is also possible, but obviously it will waste a long time, and it will change sooner or later! If the parliamentarians and Bavaria reach an agreement, then they are likely to escape. Therefore, similar to Ruprecht's idea, the Kaiser also decided to overthrow the entire Social Democratic Party at the highest level of power in the empire!

However, according to the new law, if you want to convene the Federal Parliament, you must obtain the support of two-thirds. Therefore, if the Kaiser wants to do this, he must reach an agreement with South Germany!

"The Federal Parliament can be convened, and we must give a stern warning to all those who treat the heroes harshly." Ruprecht nodded.

"We need to set up a special investigation team to thoroughly investigate this matter, and personnel are drawn from various states. And during the investigation, we need to restrict the Social Democratic Party. We should take over part of their power and close the Imperial Parliament. Temporarily succeeding the power of the Reichstag." The Kaiser continued.

Unlike the Federal Parliament, the status of the Reichstag is really low. Before the war, if the Kaiser wanted to, the Reichstag could be dissolved. Now, if the Kaiser and Ruprecht are willing, the Reichstag can also be dissolved. … The temporary closure of the Imperial Parliament is obviously abolishing the greatest power of the parliamentary faction from the level of imperial power. As for taking action against the Social Democratic regime, it is a bit intriguing.

"The Imperial Parliament can temporarily adjourn, but there is no precedent for the imperial government to directly intervene in the affairs of a big country, and there is no legal basis. We can't temporarily pass it in the Federal Parliament?" Ruprecht said. Want to say that the Federal Parliament can temporarily pass a law or draft? From the perspective of rights, this is no problem. After all, the Kaiser has been threatened in history. If he acts recklessly, the Federal Parliament may depose the Kaiser from the throne. Even the throne can be removed. What about setting an emergency law? Of course there is no problem. But this is a very dangerous precedent, at least for now!

Once a similar precedent appears, tell me, in the empire, apart from Kaiser Prussia and Bavaria, who else has a sense of security? What the crown prince needs is a stable internal environment in Germany, not that a group of people are in fear, while another group of people thinks all day about how to implement a state of emergency and then fix certain states!
