Chapter 2381 Plaintiff and Defendant II
"This is what you and the Kaiser discussed in the end? Why do I feel like a verdict? We are guilty, but an instigator and a bystander finally decided our fate?" Buhler put the document back in his hand On the table, and this document is part of the content after the meeting with the Kaiser that Ruprecht sorted out. Among them, the treatment of the Parliament faction is the main one.
"With all due respect, your disposal plan is wrong both legally and morally. Your plan has not gone through legal procedures, and most importantly, you are the instigator of this incident!" Buhler made no secret of it Own anger at Ruprecht!
"Don't worry, there is no legal problem with this plan in the end, and the procedure is absolutely correct. We will soon make it change from a plan to a final judgment. As for the morality you said? And the accusation against Bavaria, I don't agree. And I need to say that, at least, what I did made it right, and that's the most important thing!" Ruprecht said.
"Your Highness seems to be very tolerant of this man named Buhler." Since the meeting was in the Crown Prince's private residence, it was not so formal, Crown Prince Christian sat with Duke Albrecht and whispered to the latter .
"Yes, it is very tolerant, or very appreciative. This person is capable and has his own opinions. He has a bottom line. He is not so extreme, and he is not tactful at the same time. The crown prince thinks he is a good partner." The Duke whispered Said. "Of course, the premise is to be able to convince the other party."
"You should be the clearest about the resettlement of veterans. You know that after Albert and others implement this law, what awaits the millions of retired and war-wounded personnel will be reduced to the margins of society. Well, tell me, if it's right according to what you call legal and moral, do you have any other way to solve this problem?" asked the Crown Prince.
"This..." Buhler couldn't answer for a moment, because he knew that under Albert's policy, these people were the ones to suffer! The harm of various policies or times will eventually fall on them!
"Think about it. During the war, you could start a civil war for your own interests, and you could say that you were Guang Weizheng. Well, answer me, where the millions of patriots who threw their heads and blood for the country fought for their own interests. What’s wrong with interests protesting against the government? You have set a precedent. Since you have done the first grade of junior high school, then naturally others can do the fifteenth grade, and that’s no problem.”
"Of course, the most important thing is that my doing so has a very positive effect on the final settlement of the placement of these personnel, and I also promised that we can help solve this matter. And those who made these wrong policies have also received Severe punishment, this is the so-called correct result."
"Okay, relax a little bit. Mr. Hassey can explain to you the relationship between the process, the procedure, and the result. Let's not get entangled in these things. The reason why you can sit here without talking to Abel The fundamental reason is that I think you are a person with ideals, ability, and willingness to do things. The empire needs this kind of person now. Maybe a long time ago, Albert, Scheidemann, etc. Lowly people have similar ideals and beliefs to yours, but as they rise in status, they change, so they are eventually eliminated. But you don't, at least for now, keep it up." Ruprecht didn't want to follow Buhler had a debate about the right procedure and the right result, and there was a lot to discuss today.
"We have completed the division of war compensation between Britain and France, but in the colonies ceded by Britain, there are the world's largest diamond mines, as well as a large number of gold mines, copper mines and various non-ferrous metal mines.
These were paid for by the blood of the soldiers of the empire, so they should be enjoyed by the entire empire. rather than some individuals or groups. said Ruprecht.
"So, what you mean is that these developed minerals should be nationalized instead of resold to individuals? Then, should we directly transfer them to each state like the distribution of compensation?" Hasai thought for a while asked.
Before that, both Kaiser Prussia and Parliament Prussia had voices to auction off these minerals. But in the end, they were suppressed by the Kaiser and Ruprecht. For the crown prince, it is undoubtedly a disadvantage for the country to sell these minerals at such a low price, and among them, gold and diamonds are hard currencies. Currency, and things like uranium ore are more strategic materials. These things must naturally be in the hands of the state, and the Kaiser also holds a similar view to the crown prince.
"It is true that this can increase the country's control over rare minerals. Gold mines and diamond mines can be treated in this way, but copper ore, manganese ore and the like are unnecessary? After all, they are normal minerals. You know, generally It is said that the efficiency of capitalist enterprises is higher than that of state-run enterprises." Hasai thought for a while and said.
"I've thought about this issue. For well-developed mining areas, we can adopt a professional broker system. The state hires managers through agreements, and there are supervisory agencies to monitor. The salaries of managers are linked to the output of the mining area. We can manage the mining areas that are in the development stage and newly discovered through a joint-stock system," Ruprecht said.
"Then how to supervise? The empire will set up a unified department to supervise?" Hasay thinks this method is also feasible.
"The specific methods can be discussed later, but one thing is certain is that professional brokers and counterpart supervisory teams cannot come from one state. Supervision originally belonged to parliamentary Prussian brokers," said the crown prince.
"This is indeed a good idea," Hassey said. "Then how are the proceeds distributed as national assets? How much is allocated to each state?"
"Most of it belongs to the central government. In the future, the central government's main fiscal revenue should be jointly borne by government-controlled industrial and mining enterprises and tax revenues, reducing the proportion of central tax revenue." The crown prince thought for a while and said. Before the war, there was not much difference between the imperial central finance and the Prussian finance. After all, Prussia is the main body of the empire, but it is different now. In the future, the central government may not all come from Kaiser Prussia. If there is no strong state that supports the central finance as always, the role of the central government will be marginalized. So what should we do? ?
