Chapter 2378: Bargaining Three
"Hiss." The Grand Duke of Baden couldn't help taking a breath. He didn't expect Ruprecht to support the Prince of Baden. You know, the Grand Duchy of Baden is considered a strong country in its own right, and if the Prince of Baden can If you become the prime minister, it will naturally be of great help to the Grand Duchy of Baden. Sometimes, personal egotism is unavoidable. Even if the Grand Duke of Baden expresses dissatisfaction with the crown prince again, but on this matter, if he agrees, you have to accept it!
Perhaps, the Kaiser is 60% sure that someone on his side will be the prime minister, but it is hard to say whether the position of prime minister will fall to the Prince of Baden! Because the identity of the Prince of Baden is too sensitive, he is the future heir of the Grand Duke of Baden, and according to the usual practice, it is inconvenient for the heir of a powerful state to be the prime minister! Even the Grand Duke of Baden doubted whether William II would let his younger brother be the prime minister! That's right, don't look at the Grand Duke of Baden running around for the Kaiser, but the suspicious Kaiser is still unwilling to let the power of the Principality of Baden be too strong. Even now, the Kaiser looks at the Grand Duke of Baden in a wrong way!
Of course, the Kaiser will definitely not say that he disagrees with Prince Baden as Prime Minister. It is too hurtful to say this! The Grand Duke of Baden is not a little Moltke. He is a mountain in the empire, and he is the most reliable ally of the Kaiser. The Kaiser is no longer willing, nor can he speak to the Grand Duke of Baden like this. To be honest, the Grand Duke of Baden is not willing to give up. This opportunity! In a big way, Prince Baden's becoming the prime minister is beneficial to the state. In a small way, at least you can get acquainted with the government affairs of the empire first.
"It seems that His Majesty is not satisfied with this condition? Then I can change the condition. The next prime minister will still come from Kaiser Prussia. What do you think?" Ruprecht said.
"We will talk about this issue later, but I agree in principle with the consideration you proposed." The Kaiser said with some embarrassment. If the Kaiser Prussia wants to get the right to form a cabinet, it must obtain the help of Bavaria. Otherwise, whether it is a general election or a differential election, if Bavaria votes for the parliamentary faction, then the Kaiser will definitely not get the right to form a cabinet... .. But the Kaiser also felt a little awkward when Prince Baden came to power, um, yes, it was awkward. It's inconvenient for him to take this benefit, but he can't refuse it either!
"We are talking about the previous question. In terms of war reparations, the old Prussia received 50% of all British and French reparations, Austria-Hungary 20%, Bavaria and other states received 15% respectively. This is more reasonable and easier for everyone All accepted. It is very important to maintain the relationship between the German Empire and the Austro-Hungarian Empire. If we cannot reach an agreement, then we can only discuss this issue in the Federal Parliament." The crown prince issued a final ultimatum.
"Can we talk about the punishment of Parliament Prussia first, and then talk about the distribution of compensation? I think, if we can make the Social Democrats realize their mistakes, your goal will be easier to achieve." The Kaiser thought for a while Said.
"The issue of compensation must be implemented first. Then we will talk about the disposal of Prussia in the parliament." The crown prince said with a smile. Ruprecht thought very clearly that as long as the Prussian Federation is not disposed of for a day, it is equivalent to a sword Hanging over the opponent's head, the Prussian Federation dared not have other ideas. After all, Crook and the crown prince were in the same group. What really put the parliamentarians at an absolute disadvantage was not the external pressure of the Kaiser and Bavaria, but Crook and others are under pressure within Bangguo!
On the contrary, if the Prussian Confederation is dealt with first, no matter what the result is, Bavaria will lose its check and balance on the Prussian Confederation. At that time, what if the parliamentarians and the Kaiser are still clinging to the issue of war reparations? A simple question of order, but it will make things show a very different result,
Therefore, Ruprecht must first resolve the issue of the division of war reparations, and then discuss the punishment of the Prussian Federation!
"Okay, Ruprecht, about most of the issues we discussed today, how about we make a package deal? According to what you said, the military system of the Empire on the Eastern Front is divided into two theaters, the North and the South. We are in the north, and you are in charge of the south. .You can be in charge of major policies on foreign affairs, but in exchange, the next prime minister will still be chosen by us.”
"Then there is the issue of compensation. We can guarantee that the Austro-Hungarian Empire will get 20%, and the old Prussia can get 50%, but we have to get 30%! The Prussian Federation gets 20%. The most important thing is that we want half of Hanover Province! We lost Silesia because of the Poles’ problem, so now, when there is a problem with the parliamentary province, we can get it back! Don’t you think? We can also achieve it through a referendum. " said the Kaiser.
"If only one demonstration can decide the ownership of a province, isn't this a bit too child's play?" Ruprecht asked? "If a similar situation occurs in Kaiser Prussia in the future, can the parliamentarians do the same? If this is the case, then what is the use of the so-called state borders? I am afraid that the small states of the empire will be in panic all day long Live the day?"
Ruprecht obviously does not support the Kaiser's point of view, not to say that allowing the Kaiser to acquire the entire Hanover Province will completely unbalance the power of the two sides, and Parliament Prussia is not so fragile yet. The key is that the impact of doing so is very bad. After the outbreak of the civil war in Prussia, many states have already worried. Now, if the precedent of easily seizing the state's territory is repeated, then the so-called cohesion of the German Empire will really be saved. Not much more. It's not that Ruprecht doesn't want to centralize power, but at least not now. It is true that everyone quickly digested the fruits of war victory, and even if centralization is finally implemented, it cannot be concentrated in the hands of the Kaiser. The crown prince really can't believe the Kaiser's level!
"Of course, the punishment for the Parliament faction is also necessary. Due to the poor governance ability of the Parliament faction, a referendum can be held in Hannover and other places to decide whether the governing power here should be handed over to the imperial central government or still belong to the Parliament faction. A vote is held every five years to determine the city's management rights. Of course, this is only the management of the city, the territory still belongs to the Prussian Federation, and the city needs to hand over the Prussian taxes to the parliament." Ruprecht said .
