Chapter 1537： the difference

Chapter 1537

"It is generally believed that the status of the three kingdoms of Bavaria, Württemberg, and Saxony in Prussia was determined after the establishment of the empire and the political compromise among the various kingdoms within Germany. This statement has some truth, or it is because In this way, the wars of the German countries were avoided, and the tragedy of being taken advantage of by the French or other countries was avoided."

"But then, after entering a period of peaceful development, why does the unprecedentedly powerful Prussia still guarantee the rights of the three kingdoms and the main duchy? Are they powerless? Is it because of the external environment? These are hard to say, but, The most important point is that the king of Prussia, the emperor of Germany, believes that such a situation is the best way for him and is the best way to maintain the monarchy! Because he limits the power of the bourgeoisie!" Ruprecht smiled Explained.

"Prime Minister Holvig should have been troubled by the capitalists in the imperial parliament all day long? I can only say that you are very lucky now. If it was the period of the European Revolution in 1848 or the period of the military reform in 1861, what would happen to you? It may not be the accusations of the capitalists in the parliament, but their bullets!" said the prince.

"You must know that in the European Revolution of 1848, the insurgents were all over Germany. Prussia, Austria, and most of the states were not spared. It was a storm that swept across Central Europe. If you are not careful, the crown will be knocked down. And the military reform in 1861 was also a critical moment for His Majesty William I and Prime Minister Iron-Blooded to confirm the monarchy, that is to say, before Prussia moves towards German reunification, they must first fight in the country!" The prince paused, let Huo Elvig continued to digest the information.

"After experiencing these things, whether it was His Majesty William I or Prime Minister Bismarck, they realized that it is possible to eliminate the German states. After all, in the process of the unification of the German Empire, the disappearance of countries such as the Kingdom of Hanover also exists. However, they are also aware of one thing, that is, they cannot eliminate the parliament forever, they always have to fight against the parties in the parliament, this is a war that can never be stopped, right? Continue to the present!"

"Prussian military power allowed him to unify the entire empire, but he was a little weak in dealing with the parliament. After all, domestic affairs could not be resolved by violence. Well, in order to ensure the stability of the monarchy, they must figure out a way. "

"And this method is to continue to retain most of the states in the German system! Because only in this way, there will be a federal parliament above the imperial parliament. The federal parliament is controlled by the states and can be used as the last fuse to ensure the sovereignty And the status of the nobles!"

"And the bourgeoisie? Because of the existence of various states, it is difficult for them to form a unified national party. The so-called largest party, the Social Democratic Party, is just over 1 million people. The existence of states weakens the emperor. At the same time as his rule, he also weakened the power of the bourgeoisie. Therefore, a balance was formed within the German Empire, and the Kaiser could also obtain Bavarian help when dealing with the bourgeoisie."

"So, the final political model of the German Empire was born. Prussia had an overwhelming advantage, but he guaranteed the rights of other states, and the latter helped Prussia limit the internal bourgeois forces and avoid the great revolutionary events such as 1848. Happened. Therefore, although Prussia will weaken the privileges of some kingdoms for the sake of domestic development, he is definitely not abolishing the kingdom fundamentally. Understand?" The prince said with a smile.

"Fuck, this water is so deep?!" Prime Minister Holvig looked at Grand Duke Baden next to him, and suddenly felt that, in certain things, Grand Duke Baden and Ruprecht were all the same.... Grand Duke Baden on the side remained silent, his default attitude was actually equivalent to acknowledging what the prince said.

"So, let's change the topic. Why is Austria capable of eating Hungary in this situation? Although I understand your ideas to some extent, I lack sufficient reasons and evidence." Grand Duke Baden asked .

"The situation in the Austro-Hungarian Empire is different from that of the German Empire. Their national contradictions are even greater than the class contradictions. After the Prussian-Austro-Prussian War, Austria’s prestige dropped to a trough, but why is Hungary still willing to own 300,000 square kilometers of land? Under the rule of the Habsburg dynasty? Because, within Hungary, the proportion of Hungarians is not even half. Whether it is the bourgeoisie or ordinary people, they all know that without the support of Austria, the Hungarians It is difficult to rule such a huge country! And Austria is like this."

"But now? The situation is different. If it is said that before the birth of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the Germans in Austria did not have enough control over the Bohemia, but now it is different. Now, the Germans and Bohemia in Austria The speed of the integration of the demi-nations has accelerated. This trend has led to an unprecedented unity in Austria. Coupled with its own industrial and economic advantages, Austria’s advantage is already great in the dual empire!” said the prince.

"Hehe, Bavaria and Your Royal Highness have contributed a lot to this point." Prime Minister Holvig said half-seriously and half-jokingly, and there seemed to be some sarcasm in it.

"That's right So, we got the control and inheritance rights of Bohemia-Moravia. My eldest son, Albrecht, will inherit Princess Mary's governance in the above areas. "The prince said proudly.

"Fuck! What's the situation?!" This time not only was Prime Minister Holwig shocked, even the Grand Duke of Baden was also dumbfounded. After all, the previous treaty between Austria and Bavaria only said that Princess Mary should be the Grand Duke of the two places. It has the right to govern, but it does not mention the issue of inheritance... Although he is also a great prince, but facing the great prince of Bohemia-Moravia, the land is comparable to a small European country, but he is much harder than his own great prince...

"Three days ago, I think the German emperor should already know about this. After all, the Austrian emperor wants to do such a big thing, how can he not have reliable foreign aid?" The prince said with a smile. The so-called political transaction cannot be unpaid, and the prince said that he was outside the political struggle in this Austro-Hungarian Empire. It is estimated that no one would believe it. Therefore, in this case, the prince might as well admit it openly. The benefits are over, and then help Austrian Emperor settle some things.
