Chapter 1495 Competition for interests (1)
"After we stabilized the situation in Russian-owned Poland, a large number of East Prussian peasants tried to enter the area under our control. Behind them was organized and planned by a group called the German Colonial Council. In the beginning, these After the guy entered the area under our control, he tried to include those borderless lands under his own name. After I discovered this, I stopped it. However, shortly afterwards, we learned from our insiders in the Prussian Parliament that some people We intend to take some disgraceful means to take away the land that originally belonged to us!"
After reading this passage, Ruprecht's heart became tensed. He really did not expect that some people would have been unable to bear their greed and prepared to take the cake after the war before Russia fell. It's a piece of the pie!
As a traverser, what Ruprecht is most uncomfortable with certain political parties and nobles in Prussia is that before the war is over, he has already started fighting! Based on the information gathered through other channels, the prince believes that a considerable number of people in the Prussian government and some social groups have begun to prepare to "receive the fruits of victory"!
In history, in December 1914, the new governor of East Prussia, Bartoki, mentioned in a letter to the prime minister that a large number of Polish lands were annexed and planned to move out the Poles and Jews who were originally here. If you If the status of this guy is not high enough to represent Prussian high-levels, then Prussian Minister of the Interior von Robert also put forward a similar view. In addition to Poland, this buddy also wants to be along the Baltic Sea coast and Lithuania.
As for this plane, Prussia naturally did this, and for Ruprecht, you did it. Anyway, according to the agreement with the German Emperor, the area controlled by Prussia is Russian Poland. The north and the Baltic Sea coast, there is your place, whatever you want. But now, some people want to infiltrate the area controlled by the Bavarian Army. What does that mean? !
To be sure, such a sneaky expansion was not authorized by the Kaiser. Otherwise, it would be the general staff’s statement requesting the prince to transfer control of some areas. At that point, it might be a massive tear. The eve of it! Moreover, the Kaiser also needs the power of Bavaria to solve domestic political problems, so now he will definitely not tear his face.
Then the only possibility is that some people or groups in Prussia are doing their own little actions. How about the combat effectiveness of these groups? That is definitely not low. One very interesting aspect of German or Prussian politics is that social groups have such considerable influence. In addition to the naval association established by Tirpitz, Germany also has various large and small groups whose existence can obviously influence the political trend. The naval association of Tirpitz is an example. The conservative road in Prussia The German Church is another example, which directly influenced the German government's decision on war and peace in 1917.
As for the present, what is the purpose of those Prussian groups? The prince understood very well that if he followed a sentence from later generations, it would be to create established facts! Although the Kaiser and Ruprecht had a general plan for the future distribution of Poland, the two sides did not finalize the final boundary. In other words, there are still variables. The Kaiser is relying on Bavaria. Naturally easy to say. If the battle on the Eastern Front is over that day, and when it is time for distribution, if the Prussian government uses a large number of Prussians to settle in certain areas as an excuse to claim territory, then it will be really tricky for the prince!
The prince is not sure what conspiracy is behind this behavior, nor what ideas the various immigrant groups, religious churches, and political groups within Prussia have made, but one thing must be certain is that this hole cannot be opened! After opening it, there is no way to do it later!
"First of all, immigrants from any non-Bavarian or Bohemia regions must be stopped. Second, the remaining Poles must be quickly mobilized, and if they are willing to cooperate, they can allocate land and means of subsistence for production. Third, we are under our control. There are a large number of prisoners of war, mobilizing them, establishing military farms or other departments, and quickly filling the Polish areas under our military control." In a reply to Prince Leopold, the prince wrote.
If the prince’s strategy is summed up, it is to go his own way, leaving others with nowhere to go... They are only occupying land invisibly now, so good, I will enclose all the places first, so that you can’t stand up. It really doesn't work. Replace the Bavarian Legion with the Bohemia Legion, which is nominally owned by the Austro-Hungarian Army, and the most effective loyalists are the Austrian Emperor and the Archduke Mary. If these people dare to continue to "smuggle", as part of the Austro-Hungarian Army, all the Bohemian Army can be detained, and the Bavarian Army as the German Army may not be easy to do... .
With the consolidation of the newly occupied areas, Bavaria also began to restore order and production in the occupied areas. One thing different from history is that the Poles on this plane are still relatively friendly to the Germans, not to say how good the Germans are. It's because what the Russians did before was really fucking!
Before the war, the Russian government planned to move Poles out of Russian Poland. After the war, the Poles who stayed here were arrested by the Russians with a large number of laborers, and they were burdened with heavy labor and taxes. In order to ensure the stability of the region, the Russians also imposed a very harsh white rule on Poland which naturally made the life of Poles fall to the bottom. However, the disaster is not over yet. With the start of the Polish Pocket Campaign, the Russian army's transportation channel was cut off. Then, millions of Russian soldiers who can't even eat enough can think of what they will do with their knees! They have guns! And the morality is weak! Although it is not long, it is definitely enough to leave an unforgettable impact on Poles!
And now, the Poles, who are still struggling on the edge of life and death, really have no plans to engage in independence. They don’t have enough to eat, and they are still engaged in independence! Survival threats can provide sufficient labor for the Bavarian Army at a very low cost. Using these labors to make up for the lack of labor caused by the war to heal the wounds of the war in this region is obviously the best choice.
Of course, in the process of using these personnel, the prince also made arrangements. Those with skills or skills were given higher treatment. They would go to work in the Bavarian factory or the Skoda military factory in Bohemia. They were scattered and mixed with Germans and Czechs who came here from Bavaria and Bohemia. As for those Poles who have such a deep hatred for the Russians, the prince expressed his willingness to satisfy their wishes and join the army as cannon fodder...
