1501 Secret Meeting
"General Falkingham is a standard Junker nobleman. He is loyal to the emperor, he is somewhat self-conscious, and does not have a good relationship with many people. He is hostile to the Kingdom of Bavaria, and at the same time emphasizes the use of German swords to obtain a wider survival. Space is very supportive of nationalism in Germany, so I think he is a good partner." In the letter that Schedman wrote to Albert, he only commented on the German general. And a week later, Schedman brought the goodwill of the right wing of the German Social Democratic Party to the headquarters of Farkingham as a private person.
The reason for Schedman’s visit to Falkingham was also very high-sounding. “In order to put the newly added territory of the empire on the right track as soon as possible, the German Social Democratic Party is willing to serve as a bridge between the military and the people to promote the German government’s efforts in the newly occupied regions. rule!"
"Although the empire's way of ruling most of the newly occupied areas has not yet been determined, for Russian Poland, the empire is bound to win. Therefore, I hope that the general can provide some conveniences for the people of the empire, such as helping to clean up the surplus. The Poles provided protection and support for the eastward migration of German colonists.” After the exchanges between the two sides, Scheideman said straightforwardly.
For the occupied areas, the German high-level divided them into three types. The first type is directly controlled areas, such as Russian Poland and most of the Baltic coast. The second is to establish very close relations, such as the remaining areas of the Baltic Sea and the Belarusian region. The German central government may not directly rule in these areas, but it will plant a German nobleman as a leader and turn it into a vassal. The third type of relationship is to establish a close economic relationship. For example, the new Ukraine established with the support of Germany.
"This is naturally possible, and I also hope that Germany's living space can become larger and larger." Falkingham said noncommittal.
"But at present, we are encountering some obstacles in southern Poland. Our personnel have encountered difficulties and obstacles when entering the area controlled by the Bavarian Army. I would like to know whether the Bavarian Army is a German Army and why they want to stop the German Army. Does anyone enter?" Sheideman said with a turn.
"Although I am very angry about this matter, it is beyond my ability. My control is only in the area north of Warsaw. The south is not my jurisdiction, so I can't help it." Falkingham is not stupid, although He is very disagreeable with the prince, but he knows that the Bavarian Legion opposite is not easy to provoke, and in the current political atmosphere, if this matter causes a high level in Germany, it must be himself.
"You are wrong. We are not asking you to undertake this matter independently. In this matter, we are allies. We will solve this problem together. As long as you can help a group of immigrants enter the Bavarian Army control area, no matter what they take We have our own countermeasures for any action. We will denounce Bavarian behavior in the parliament, and you only need to provide some evidence and help. Of course, if you want to avoid suspicion, you can be served by your staff. We can't just sit back and watch a second voice appear in the German Empire, can we?" Scheideman said meaningfully.
"Well, since you left this room, I didn't know what happened next. The truth of this matter is that some troops are helping the German colonists in good faith. It has nothing to do with me. And I hope to be in Parliament. , When discussing this matter, also don't show my name." Fakingham thought for a while and said.
"It seems that we have reached an agreement on certain things? Haven't we? Our cooperation has made a good start." Shedman, who has achieved today's first goal, said with a smile.
"In order to repay the goodwill of you and your army, we can provide some additional supplies for some of your personnel, and we will also have an additional thank you gift. In order to ensure the relationship between your ministry and certain associations Closer, I hope that we can establish an unofficial, semi-fixed liaison mechanism. Of course, all the costs incurred will be borne by us.” Schedman made the second request.
"Soldiers, shouldn't interfere in politics." Fakingham's face sank, a little unhappy, he could clearly feel that the opponent was staring.
"However, whether it is His Majesty the Emperor as the commander-in-chief of the German army, His Royal Highness Prince Ruprecht as the Crown Prince of Bavaria, or Marshal Tirpitz, they have the dual attributes of a soldier and a politician at the same time. So, you don't need to overdo it. Mind, and what we have established is not a political connection. You have only established some connections with some social associations to serve the expansion of Prussia. Of course, if you think it is inappropriate, you can let your subordinates do it for you.” Scheideman said .
His purpose in doing this is deeper to facilitate the infiltration of the military by the right of the Social Democratic Party. In the case of war, no military will dislike the people or organizations that provide them with extra supplies. And letting some of the military have a good feeling or sympathy for the Social Democratic Party is their first step!
"In this matter, you should go to the Emperor and say that the army is the army of the country and the army of His Majesty the Emperor. We cannot establish too close relations with other political forces. This has crossed the line and contradicted my principles. , If your Excellency still insists on this then I think that today's meeting can be over."Farkingham flatly refused.
This aspect is indeed inconsistent with his ideals. If you say that you are hiding behind Bavaria, he has no psychological barriers. But if you establish too deep ties with political forces and act as a gun for others, you will never do it. And he has a faint feeling that when Schedman’s friendship with the military is not only planning against Bavaria, even if he is a person who is somewhat hostile to Bavaria, he does not think that the two armies will be on the battlefield. If there is such a day, Germany will be over!
On the other hand, I am a little afraid! After all, according to the prince’s habit, if this matter is really exposed, or if the other party finds enough evidence, then he has absolutely no good fruits. I am afraid that the most likely result is to be beaten back to his hometown for retirement, right? And Fakingham, who had not yet become a general, had to think about his own future.
"Well, then I didn't say this matter. Although you rejected my proposal, we still thank you for your contribution to Prussia." Scheideman bowed and said.
