Chapter 1146： Unexpected promise

Slide 1146

"These guys are the grassroots. When the people can weaken the rights of the nobility and the royal family, they support the civilians in trouble. When they need the sword of the empire to acquire land, they will support the empire to adopt an expansion policy. When the empire's warriors After taking down a large area with the monarch, they want to usurp the benefits through the parliament! This makes me feel like working for them!"

"And once something happens? All the pots can be thrown to the council, or even to me! And they still sit steadily behind to provoke various factions to fight, and then profit from it! They think they have the lifeblood of the empire's economy, So I ignored my authority! Wrong! I want to tell them! The highest arbiter of the empire is the royal family and his supporters, not those who only know how to make money but are not responsible!" The roar of the German emperor made everyone present Everyone felt uneasy. This is not only because of these violent words, but also because the Kaiser decided to attack certain people in China!

What is the purpose of the Kaiser? Appease Bavaria and allow Bavaria to make greater contributions in the war, and provide corresponding remuneration is only one aspect, and more importantly, the Kaiser needs Bavaria's support to start with certain domestic forces! To be clear, it would be to attack the radicals in the Social Democratic Party and the capitalists and bankers who have ambitions for the regime!

The biggest difference between Prussia and Bavaria's domestic power system is that the Kaiser only controlled the state power and army, and even the actual controller of the army was the Junker noble. The economy is controlled by domestic capitalists, but what about Bavaria? The economy is dominated by a state-owned economy led by the royal family, and the army is controlled by the royal family because there is no Junker nobleman. Not to mention the regime.

The Kaiser saw the hope of further centralization in the "Bavarian model"! Yes, the Kaiser is not satisfied with the power in his own hands. The General Staff can resist the Kaiser’s orders militarily, but rely on capitalists and bankers economically. Politically, the Social Democratic Party of Germany has always wanted to establish a parliamentary government, requiring the Chancellor to be accountable to the Parliament instead of to the Kaiser. These problems hardly exist in the government of the Kingdom of Bavaria. The power of the Bavarian royal family is bottom-up, and there is no comparable existence in the country.

And this time, the Kaiser wants to not only win the first battle, but also to reshape the domestic power system, especially in Prussia. He wants to establish some enterprises controlled by the royal family and gain certain economic dominance. Right, it is necessary to establish a new regiment system outside the Junker nobles. At the same time, I want to dispel the idea of ​​some political parties requesting the establishment of a parliamentary government. And these can't be done solely by the Kaiser! Because the Kaiser did not establish a top-to-bottom rights enforcement system, there were two actual enforcers between the Kaiser and the common people, the bourgeoisie and the Junker noble!

In other words, the German emperor actually tended to be kidnapped or taken off the ground. Historically, this was true. For example, when the German emperor announced the suppression of the uprising from World War I to the end, the German military almost unanimously opposed it, but then What? After signing the Albert-Glener agreement with the commander of the German army, the German army guaranteed that as long as the army recognized the government, the government would not reform the army, the German army decisively suppressed all uprisings Go down. By the way, the Bavarian Soviet Republic was also dealt with! This shows a problem, not that the German Army was incapable, but that it abandoned the Kaiser at the last minute.

Why did William II vigorously build the navy? Competing for territory under the sun is certainly an important reason, but another reason is the establishment of a military force independent of the Junker system, allowing the middle and lower levels to obtain advancement through naval channels. Moreover, the vigorous construction of the navy has also allowed the German industry to receive a large number of government orders. Capitalists have a way to make money and the common people have a way to get promoted. In addition, nationalism is the main internal driving force for the construction of the Second Empire's navy.

In fact, in Germany, the rights of the Kaiser were established on the condition that everyone bought his account. And if the situation changes, it will be completely different. The Kaiser saw an opportunity in this war, an opportunity to change this situation. It was impossible to move the Junker nobles militarily during the war, but he attacked capitalists and parties in the distribution of interests and the political system after the war!

The resources directly controlled by the German royal family are limited. If it were to compete, it would definitely not be able to compete with industrial giants such as Krupp and Rheinmetall. So good, the Kaiser needs an ally. This ally is not reliable in the country. Then it can only be in the German states. Bavaria wants to expand its territory. So good, this issue can be discussed, but in return, Bavaria must be in Economically, help the Kaiser establish a competitive economic entity.

Politically, Bavaria wants to maintain the stability of the states in the original Bundestag, and if the Kaiser wants to maintain the stability of the Reichstag, then Bavaria’s support is also needed. After all, parties such as the Social Democratic Party not only have members in Prussia. There are also... in other places. And if the kingdoms of Bavaria and Saxony can hold these people down and establish more and smaller parties, the scattered parliamentary parties will naturally be much smaller.

In the opinion of the Kaiser-www.novelhall.com-if these can be achieved, the Kaiser would not mind agreeing to the "proportional expansion" of Bavaria. When the power is not imbalanced, it is acceptable for Bavaria to want to be stronger. What's more, if the Kaiser wants to restrict Bavaria, he can also start from other aspects. For example, there is actually no direct connection between Poland and Bavaria.

Therefore, in the opinion of the Kaiser, it is a very cost-effective business to give Bavaria some benefits and then use Bavaria to suppress domestic resistance. He is not afraid of Bavaria. After all, Bavaria is too small in population, and the gap between North and South Germany prevents Prussia from doing whatever it wants with Bavaria. So how does Bavaria, which is even worse, affect Prussia?

Besides, in line with the principle of equal pay and return, Bavaria has almost taken on more than two-thirds of the combat missions on the German Eastern Front, and has also helped on the Western Front. It can even be said that if it really takes down Russian Poland If it is, it’s almost a matter of the Bavarian Army and the Austro-Hungarian Army. The Prussian Army’s contribution is very small. At this time, people will let you take a part of it. You still want to eat all of it and kick it out of Bavaria. ? What do you think? What is the most basic letter between people? Can you still play happily in the future? !
