Chapter 608： Soft knife one

Compared with the Bavarian royal family's rule of the Kingdom of Bavaria since ancient times, the rise and expansion of the Kingdom of Prussia was too fast. In 1807, Prussia was only in the northeast corner of Germany, and then it was quickly expanded to Algeria through repeated negotiations and foreign expansion wars. In the Saslowin region, during this expansion process, a series of kingdoms, grand duchy, and free states such as Hanover, Rhineland, Hessen Rhine, and the Kingdom of Frankfurt were annexed by Prussia. Such an excessively rapid rate of expansion would have left some hidden dangers, such as religious issues, central and local power issues.

In addition to this factor, in Prussia, the German emperor, the Junker nobles and the bourgeoisie are in power together. When the war breaks out, the army on which the German emperor and the Junker nobles rely most will be affected by the war. In this case, the bourgeoisie will definitely find ways to hold power. Maybe they agree to implement a constitutional monarchy, maybe it is not really necessary to let the Kaiser fall, but at that point, it is not Germany. The Social Democratic Party can decide.

In history, Wilhelm II was willing to give up the title of Kaiser and implement a constitutional monarchy, but what was the end result? Under the influence of the red forces and the power of the bourgeoisie, the army turned its back on the Kaiser and turned to unite with the bourgeoisie. Eventually led to the end of the Second Empire.

And what about Bavaria? The performance in history is actually worse. The earliest revolution broke out in Bavaria, and then the Berlin uprising. His father was the first to lose the throne. But it’s different on this plane. First, the interior of Bavaria is relatively simple. In addition to the national power represented by the royal family, it is the citizen. There is no bourgeoisie and no powerful political party. In other words, as long as the material life of the people can be guaranteed, the pressure of the internal coup will be relatively small. After all, more than one-fifth of the adult population now works in related enterprises or factories of the royal family.

Secondly, Bavaria has enough supplies in stock, but His Royal Highness has prepared supplies in accordance with the assumption of 4 years in history! Considering that it will support Austria-Hungary when necessary, it has recently increased supplies, especially grain reserves. The amount of grain reserves is determined by subtracting the self-sufficiency of Bavaria from annual consumption. In other words, because the probability of having problems with food is very small, and there are not enough political parties in the country, then no one has the ability to organize a rebellion. With the addition of the unprecedentedly powerful Bavarian Legion, from the inside, the kingdom can Enron survived the turbulent period of World War I.

As for Prussia? how to say? Even if there is a relatively sufficient material reserve compared to history, problems may still occur. This is due to the desire for rights of people and groups. As a prime minister, he is definitely not willing to lose his position because of a person’s distrust. What if it is better than Bismarck? Historically, His Majesty the emperor who came to power soon did not want to get rid of him.

If it is a constitutional monarchy, then the prime minister will only be responsible to the parliament, and each party will become the true power of the country. The huge benefits brought by the ruling power will definitely make some people think! And the current decision made by the Kaiser to exchange German foreign capital for loans has obviously harmed the interests of many people. Even if there will be compensation, it is certain that they are dissatisfied! And their coveting for rights will continue to expand because of this incident. After all, cutting off a person's wealth is tantamount to killing his parents. It is normal for people to find you desperately!

In other words, if His Highness's estimation is good, then both the Social Democrats and the capitalists will find Prussia some uncomfortable during the war. Forcing a constitutional monarchy is the most likely option. On this plane, if Germany's reserves or accumulation are better, the Kaiser may not be willing to establish a constitutional monarchy, and if this is the case, the situation will be different!

After losing the emperor’s offensive in history, the German army was exhausted, and there was no hope of victory. Only one of the 19 generals who received the order of the German Emperor to suppress the uprising responded to the call, and finally even Hindenburg demanded The emperor abdicated, but with this plane, if there is a rebellion, the emperor can choose a lot! And this is what His Highness hopes. After all, the one-sided situation will make the weaker party lose the idea of ​​fighting. Only if the strength is roughly equal, the two sides can pinch!

"You hope that there will be turmoil in Prussia, or a low-level confrontation, and at this time, the Bavarian Austrian Army, which has completed the Eastern Front Campaign and helped His Royal Highness become the queen, has become the absolute force that determines the political direction of the country? Is that so?" Countess Laura asked.

"Theoretically this is the case. Of course, we still have to make good timing. Our opponents will also consider the timing of the shot. This is not possible at the beginning of the war, because at that time the people were agitated by patriotism and national sentiment, and the supplies were still sufficient. At the critical moment of the war, they did not dare to use their hands and feet, because if they did, it would cause the entire battlefield to collapse. This kind of dying of the same move is not a last resort and useless."

"The time when they can really do it will be after the war has been going on for a while, and the supplies have been scarce The battlefield is in a stalemate, or Germany may have a slight advantage, but it does not have enough troops. Launched under circumstances. And at this time, we need to create an opportunity for them to create a domestic illusion that makes them think that the German troops on the eastern front are also unable to mobilize. And this time they will launch!" His Highness said with a smile.

"Then when do you think it is appropriate to give this hint to the other party?" The countess is not so relaxed. Although she has guessed that her Royal Highness will do some tricks, she absolutely can't think of it. She has the courage to lead the largest state in Germany to unrest. ! This carelessness is about to end!

But then I think about it, if you don’t do it, then whether Germany loses or loses, the Bavarian kingdom will not be in a good situation. This is absolutely unacceptable to Ruprecht, who is proud and ambitious. Yes, in that case, when the conditions are right, he doesn’t mind giving it a shot. Think about the power in Ruprecht’s hands, the entire Bavarian Army and part of the Austrian Army. If there is turbulence in Prussia, then such a force is absolutely It is the existence that determines the outcome. Whether it is William II or a capitalist, if you want to win, you must rely on His Royal Highness!
