Chapter 2422: The Future One
In fact, at the beginning of the war, the Swedes were optimistic about Britain, France and Russia. After all, whether it is population, resources or the number of troops, the Allied Powers have a huge advantage! However, as the war progressed, the Swedes suddenly discovered that the world was different from their perception...
On the western front, the French and the British barely blocked the onslaught of the Germans, while on the eastern front, Russia, which had personally knocked Sweden down from the throne of a powerful country, was as fragile as paper when facing the Bavarian front. generally! In particular, it is difficult for the Swedes to understand how a Bavaria with a population of only 12 million can accumulate such a powerful army, easily inflicting heavy losses on the superior Russian army time and time again. This gave Sweden an idea, why can Bavaria, but why not Sweden?
In this war, the high efficiency of the German Empire, the tenacity of the army, and the cohesion of the people far exceeded the imagination of the Swedes. It was difficult for them to understand why the people of the German Empire were willing to participate in the war one after another. They did not know that they would benefit the most in the end. Is it always the privileged class? Why is the decadent Junker nobleman so efficient? Shouldn't they be a bunch of social parasites?
"Absolute equality does not exist. There will always be their own classes in society. Fairness in my understanding does not mean equal distribution, but that the giving and rewards are consistent. Whether they are nobles or commoners, when they pay for this country Time, then you should enjoy the rewards you deserve, war is not just a promotion path for nobles and capitalists, but also ordinary people can also benefit from the victory of the empire."
"Although I am a king, I am not an aristocrat. I am beyond all social classes. I coordinate their relationship and adjust their income. Let those who are willing to pay and work hard in this society get as much benefits as possible, Military aristocrats can realize their value on the battlefield through the military talents cultivated from childhood, capitalists with business talents can flex their muscles in the economy, and ordinary people can get a good education, and I will provide them with promotion channels , I will increase the number of the middle class and their wealth as much as possible, because they are all hardworking and patriotic. And for the disadvantaged groups, we should give the necessary help so that they will not be abandoned by this society. From this In terms of level, in fact, our ideas are very close.” Ruprecht said.
"Perhaps the victory of the empire was beyond the expectations of the Swedish high-level. Regarding military issues, I will not tell you too much, because you have not studied military affairs, and I have been in contact with military affairs since I was six years old. The first military teacher was my uncle, Prince Leopold. Whether in Bavaria or Prussia, a considerable number of military officers have received military education since childhood. We have won the war, and this war fused together by thousands of battles has minimized so-called chance and luck! The strength and military talent of the Empire cannot be doubted!"
"So, when it comes to predicting the outcome of this war, we are the victors, and you are the losers. You can only find your own reasons and see if you are wrong in some aspects. Then you can really get in touch with The truth of the matter," said the Crown Prince.
Negotiations are all about playing hard and soft. The so-called softness is just to make the other party let go of their guard, make it easier to get in touch, and then generate recognition. It is just like Crown Prince Ruprecht and Blanting discussing the issue of governance. In fact, the level of governance of the Swedes is still good. Therefore, under the circumstances that it is no longer possible to participate in the struggle for hegemony among major powers with its own strength, it is correct to develop the economy and improve the welfare of the people wisely.
But the so-called people are deader than others, and goods are thrown away. But in the face of Crown Prince Ruprecht's cheating existence,
Now Finland has no way of livelihood or is inferior to Bavaria in all aspects of national economy and technology! Although Branting retorted, he is a reasonable person after all, so it's not as good as it is! After some exchanges, he felt that Sweden was too sloppy in governing the country, and there was no perfect national development strategy! He agrees with the crown prince's idea that the country should guide and adjust social, economic and technological development, because Bavaria's success proves this.
Well, so much laying the groundwork ahead, of course it's not just for homework! Theodore Roosevelt once said, with a soft word, a big stick in hand! This time Germany is preparing to pull in the younger brother. Even if it is not a military alliance, it is at least an economic friend. After the other party is less resistant, Ruprecht must tell the Swedes that you must learn to face reality! It must be known that in Europe, since the Roman Empire passed away, a super hegemony that can really control Europe has been born! To put it bluntly, those who follow me prosper, those who oppose me perish! We have already expressed our sincerity, so the next step depends on your attitude!
"We are now experiencing an era of great change, an era that Europe has never experienced before. Before me, no country can bring the whole of Europe into its own control. The Spanish Empire a long time ago could not, and the Austrian Empire could not. No. The Dutch and Sweden were only strong for a while. Napoleon the Great seemed to have stepped on the whole of Europe, but it was only a flash in the pan. Even when Napoleon was the strongest, Britain and Russia were still countries that could rival France. But the current situation It's different!"
"The empire on which the sun never sets has become a historical term. They are now in the sunset, and they are getting worse every day. The Russians have been hit hard. They have lost nearly 40% of their population and more than half of their industry. Before, we could use one hand to turn Russia People are pressed to the ground. Then after that, it will be easier for us! The French chose to improve relations with us. From now on, Europe has ended hundreds of years of internal friction. Relying on Europe's technology, industry and economic strength, we We believe that we can create a more brilliant future! This future is based on the concerted efforts of all countries, sharing what is needed, and helping each other." Ruprecht said.
"Then what's the price?" Branting said, looking at the opposite crown prince with a complicated expression. Branting knew that Germany wanted to establish an alliance system in Europe with the German Empire and the Austro-Hungarian Empire at its core. This will be a comprehensive alliance involving economics, politics, technology and even military aspects.
