Chapter 2427 Teaching Three
"I think in Bavaria, because the royal family controls everything and can dissolve the parliament when necessary, there is no need to show their rights through the parliament and the prime minister. But it is different in Sweden. Even if the royal family has improved and has a huge If the royal family wants to play an important role, then continue to play in person and compete for the position in the parliament and the government, this is the only way we must go." Gus For the first time, Taft V categorically rejected the crown prince's request!
"There is a saying that is too much." Ruprecht frowned. "I can understand your thoughts, but if you want to regain complete rights in just ten to twenty years, it is impossible. After all, the Swedish people are used to the false monarch system! This past It’s been hundreds of years! This kind of subtle influence is very large, so I hope you can understand that maybe sometimes a little bit of inappropriate behavior will make your years or even ten years of hard work go in vain!"
"Well, I think this issue is still far away, and I think we have plenty of time in the future to discuss this issue. And today, my brother, whatever you think, you should let Crown Prince Ruprecht speak Don't dwell on one issue." At this moment, Grandpa Baden spoke up, and he resolved the somewhat embarrassing situation in front of him very well. In private parties, the host is the biggest, and neither Crown Prince Ruprecht nor Gustav V quickly skipped the question.
"I think it is most beneficial for the monarch not to directly participate in party politics, but as the arbiter of party politics, because our position is detached from the party, and our eyes will not be obscured by party interests. We can be in a wider Consider how to maximize the interests of the country, rather than taking advantage of some people or groups. Only when the people recognize that the monarch is for the sake of the country and not like those vulgar politicians, can you stand firm fundamentally heel!"
"And in the country's political life, your influence will not be small, because your actions can greatly affect public opinion and affect the votes of political parties. So they will all rush to seek your help. In this case, You will be able to have both sides and influence the politics of the country without fear of being directly attacked by politicians! This is much better than if you directly form a political party, because in terms of class attributes, the party you form and other parties in parliament You are out of place. You will become the target of public criticism. And think about it again, why should a royal family that has been revived for a few years and a political party that hastily formed confront those old political forces?" Ruprecht said.
"I feel that if it is just an arbiter, then this position is not stable enough. After all, if other parties reach an agreement, then my identity as an arbiter is unnecessary. I found that the top nobles in the German Empire generally will In politics or in the army, if members of the royal family enter the political arena or the military in their personal capacity, it is always possible, right?" Gustav V thought for a while and said.
"This is fine, but don't be too high-profile. It's okay to be a member of parliament, but if it involves ministers of important government departments, you should be cautious." The crown prince said.
Ruprecht's general idea has been finished here. In short, his purpose is to train Gustav V, who is friendly to Germany, to be a figure with important economic and political influence in Sweden, and It is not really to help the Swedish king regain full monarchy, because it is too difficult. Just think about the history of the world. How many countries can have real monarchs again after the monarch loses power? very few! Therefore, starting from the interests of the German Empire, a friendly Swedish king with certain influence is enough, and there is no need to create a friendly monarch with real power.
After all, operating the latter is a bit more difficult, it takes a lot of effort, and there is a possibility of crashing the game!
If Germany really wants to have a real monarch, but the Swedish people and government do not approve, then the relationship between the two countries will enter an ice age. Germany can't send troops to help Gustav V take power, can it? That's just plain funny!
Afterwards, everyone chatted about some things casually, and the meeting tonight is basically coming to an end. If it goes according to the plan, Crown Prince Ruprecht will return to his official residence in Berlin tomorrow, and then prepare for a few days. Go north to the port of Kiel, and meet the bosses of the High Seas Fleet.
In this case, the Grand Duke of Baden, as the master, naturally wanted to send the crown prince off. After dawn, other people were arranged to temporarily accompany the Swedes, and the Grand Duke of Baden personally sent Ruprecht, Duke Albrecht, and Prince Albert away. Before leaving, the two sides exchanged some views on the Swedish issue.
"There seems to be some deviation between our plan and the request of Gustav V." The crown prince expressed his concerns in very euphemistic language.
"My relative has a big appetite. He wants to control a kingdom and revive it. Not just as an influential figure in the country." The Grand Duke of Baden said with some embarrassment, as a close relative The Grand Duke of Baden naturally hopes to have a foreign monarch with real power, but he also knows that there is no reason and no need for the German Empire to let Gustav V realize his wish. Not bad. This is not only Ruprecht's attitude, but also the Kaiser's attitude!
"What we need is a friendly Sweden, not a Swedish king. Gustav V is only a bridge and a catalyst in this process." Duke Albrecht said.
"Well, I will clarify this with Gustav V." The Grand Duke of Baden thought for a while and said.
"It is not necessary for the time being. Although this matter is easy to say, it is difficult to do. At the beginning, hitting the wall a few times can make him wake up. In fact, when his plan to reorganize the army fails After that, he's been permanently sidelined, his ceiling is that high. Like I said, he ends up being an influencer, not a ruler," the crown prince said.
"Your Highness, there is one more thing that needs to be dealt with." After chatting for a while, just as everyone was about to leave, Prince Albert said suddenly.
"What is it?" asked the Crown Prince.
"The Italians have sent a diplomatic telegram. They hope to send a delegation to visit you in a private capacity. Is it convenient for you?" Prince Albert said.
