Chapter 1727
One is the contradiction between classes and the other is the contradiction between classes. The prince knows how to choose this. Therefore, it is the prince's planned plan to weaken Prussia, but Albert and others want to control the German political situation? This is something the prince can never tolerate!
"Even if we are not among the targets they are targeting this time?" Prince Leopold frowned.
"Yes, they will not target us this time, but they will definitely target us next time. They can control some areas in the central and western part of Prussia, and even become independent from Prussia, but they absolutely cannot have the ability to determine the country's major policies." Said.
"This operation is very difficult. It may not be difficult for William II to give up the throne, but it is almost impossible for him to split Prussia." Prince Leopold said.
"But this is also almost the optimal solution. The originally powerful Prussia was split into Prussia controlled by the Kaiser and the area controlled by the Social Democratic Party. In this way, either of them would lose the advantage over Bavaria, and at the same time, The Social Democrats have at least obtained local power in some areas, and they don’t have to worry about being liquidated. But Prussia is sluggish, and we in Bavaria can have both sides.” The prince said.
"This is very difficult to operate." Prince Leopold said with a curl of his lips. First of all, to get Albert and others to make trouble, and to give the Social Democrats some advantage at the beginning, otherwise, the Kaiser would not give in. , And then when the Kaiser was about to be unable to hold it, the Bavarian Legion entered strongly to reverse the situation, but could not allow the Kaiser to occupy an absolute advantage. When the two sides were at odds, Bavaria acted as a middleman. Prussia gave up some areas, William II still maintained absolute rights to the remaining areas of Prussia, and the Social Democratic Party was not afraid of the Kaiser’s liquidation after controlling some local powers.
Of course, this change will eventually affect the superstructure, such as the Federal Parliament, which will definitely give some votes to the newly emerged Free Provinces, and how to operate to ensure the interests of Bavaria is the next thing, not to mention it.
"What is Scheer's attitude?" Prince Leopold thought for a while and asked. The prince also saw the importance of the navy in this domestic game. If they fell to the Kaiser at the beginning, then using naval ships, Mackensen’s troops could quickly return to the mainland by sea and then in the port of Kiel. Landing is close to Berlin. The aviation unit of the German Navy can even start operations a few hours after the accident in Berlin.
And if the navy falls to Albert, they will not only obtain a large amount of heavy equipment and troops, but also can easily control the stockpiled materials in coastal ports and warehouses. In this way, the Western Front of the Kaiser can It is possible to obtain fewer supplies, or even be forced to yield directly because of this. Therefore, if the Bavarian Army is the biggest external factor in this domestic game, then Schell’s German High Seas Fleet is the second largest external factor!
"Scheer shouldn't be prepared for this. His political sensitivity is very low." The prince thought for a while and said. "Moreover, the difference between the Navy and the Army is that his entire command system has nothing to do with the Junker nobility. The Navy, which is advanced from other social strata, has a natural affinity for the Social Democratic Party. Scheer, Hipper and others affirmed It is inclined to the Kaiser, but the people below are not necessarily."
"So, I personally feel that if after the incident, the first thing Scheer will do is not to consider who to help, but to consider the stability of the German Navy! And this stabilization process will be longer." The prince said.
"So, at the beginning, the influence factors of the German Navy can be excluded first?" Prince Leopold said.
"Yes, if I were Scheer, I would try to stabilize the interior in a more peaceful way. Neutrality is all right to maintain the navy. Because in my opinion, if the navy does not act, For us, there will be a lot less unexpected factors. And to be honest, I don’t want the navy’s combat effectiveness to be affected by internal political issues before the future war. After all, the navy is different from the army, and key technical personnel are too precious. Now," the prince said.
"So, would you suggest Scheer to be neutral at a critical moment?" the Prince asked.
"I won't talk to Scheer. This will make people feel that I have other intentions. I will only communicate with Hipper through private channels to make him optimistic about the fleet in his hands. By the way, there is also the aircraft carrier detachment. Chaos, but fortunately, most of the aircraft carrier squadrons are Bavarians. They should be easier to control. There are many Bavarians in the High Seas Fleet. If you can stabilize them, the High Seas Fleet will generally be out of chaos." The prince said.
"So how are our preparations going now? Can we ensure that the situation allows us to quickly and decisively enter the battle?" Prince Leopold said.
"There is no problem, everything is proceeding step by step. The storm inside Budapest is brewing and will soon break out. If things exceed our expectations, then the Bohemian Army deployed in Austria will enter the battlefield as soon as possible. (Wearing an Austrian military uniform) Try to limit the unrest to a certain extent."
"In Bavaria I have issued a new mobilization order, and at the same time I removed some experienced officers and soldiers to return to China. If there is a major political turmoil in Germany, I will stabilize the southern part of Germany as soon as possible. And if Britain and France use the German civil strife to launch an offensive, we can also deploy some troops to support them. These troops come from Asia Minor. The British expeditionary force will be resolved within a week. Then, we will stand on the sidelines. It depends on the situation. Make a decision." Ruprecht said.
"Then we still have to launch an offensive in Russia?" Prince Leopold asked.
"Of course, Russia is our most direct threat now, even in the next 30 years." The prince said with a smile. "Moreover, if we don't move, how can some people in China feel relieved?"
However, just three days after Ruprecht and his uncle finished talking, something that shocked the world broke out! On January 15, 1914, a large-scale riot and demonstration took place in the Russian capital of St. Petersburg. Then, the suppressed military police and the demonstrators had fierce clashes, and the incident quickly expanded. The fuse is in a very inconspicuous place!
