Chapter 1852: In Berlin one

Therefore, the high-level struggle within Prussia and the disregard of the kingdom’s power by the middle and low levels have led to the fact that when the two sides within the empire are in a deadlock, both the German emperor and the parliament may use splitting the country as a solution because they all want Independent and complete local government. This matter cannot be decided by a certain leader. The nobles support the Kaiser because the Kaiser allows them to enjoy the life and privileges of the past. This requires the Kaiser to rely on complete rights. For the same reason, the capitalists support the Parliament. The faction is also for its own convenience, and this also requires the support of a complete local government.

That's great. When the two sides cannot completely suppress the opponent, then the supporters behind it are likely to accept the split plan. As for ordinary people? If they can persist, they may still be saved. However, in the war period and the relative shortage of materials, coupled with their own disregard for politics, they may eventually become indifferent. Therefore, when the negotiations begin, the split The seeds have been planted.

Maybe someone has realized this. Perhaps some people still want to fight for the absolute advantage of Prussia, but, unfortunately, these people may have powerful rights, but in the surging tide in Prussia, their actions will not have a fundamental impact on the outcome of the matter.

At this time, Earl Schelling’s delegation had also arrived in Berlin, and Albert and others were very serious about the arrival of the first official delegation from the Kingdom of Bavaria, although they knew that a few days ago, Leopold Prince Germany went to Brussels in person. Although Earl Schelling was considered a high position in the Kingdom of Bavaria, he was still far behind the Prince. However, Albert and others are very clear that this is the first official contact between the Social Democratic Party and Bavaria, and it may be the only opportunity to contact Bavaria!

Before receiving Earl Schelling, the main leaders of the right wing of the Social Democratic Party and the left wing of the Social Democratic Party headed by Albert also sat together to discuss the main content of the meeting.

"Why didn't Mr. Scheideman come?" When the three Social Democratic centrists came to the meeting room under the leadership of Hassy, ​​they saw Albert sitting in the chair, Buhler in charge of the military, and third This is Landsberg, the right-wing leader of the Social Democratic Party. But Scheideman, who was originally the second-in-chief of the Social Democratic Party, did not attend this meeting.

"Mr. Scheideman is in ill health, so he can't handle political affairs for the time being. Let's start preparing for a meeting. We have very tight time now. The pressure is also great." Albert said a little haggard, and this haggard does not seem to be It's just that the pressure is huge, and there are other reasons.

The other two centrists, Dieterman and Barthes, did not notice, but Hasai keenly noticed that things had changed, not just Albert's unusual reaction today. More importantly, Hasai discovered that Albert’s wording was wrong. If Shedman only has a mild illness or is temporarily unable to attend the meeting for some reason, then there is no need to say that he cannot handle government affairs, right?

As a battle-tested politician, Hasai understands that this sentence is basically telling himself that he does not need to consider Shedeman’s opinions in the future. That’s good, what is the reason for Albert to put Shederman Excluded from the core layer? Want to say that Scheideman is sick? Hasai really didn't believe it. After all, the two met two days ago, and the other side was in pretty good health. Power struggle? Although everyone is an expert in infighting, it is impossible under the current circumstances? I don’t understand, I don’t understand!

"Well, there are two aspects to the meeting. First, the senior German army on the western front sent a secret message. They suggested that we accept the request for negotiation. At the same time, they emphasized that the honor of the Kaiser must be retained. On the issue of the emperor’s rights, they did not elaborate, but expressed that they did not accept the British-style constitutional monarchy. Judging from this telegram, the military’s attitude has softened, but it still favors the Kaiser."

"The second thing is that the representatives of the Kingdom of Bavaria have come over. They explicitly invited us to participate in the canonization ceremony of the Austro-Hungarian crown prince, but secretly they should negotiate terms with us." Albert said.

"Who is the Austrian emperor going to make as the crown prince?" Hassai frowned. He felt that this incident was too sudden. The Social Democratic Party has been paying attention to the political trends of the Austria-Hungary Empire, especially the crown prince. After all, this will affect the future. Ten years of relations between Germany and Austria. However, until the parliament launched a coup, they did not know who the Austrian emperor would choose to be emperor in the future, because there was really no suitable one among the core members of the Habsburg family.

"The heir is beyond our expectation. It seems to be Princess Mary." Albert said with a sigh.

"What about Bavaria? Will he be a member of the German Empire or a member of the Austro-Hungarian Empire in the future?" Almost immediately Dietman jumped up. This incident was too shocking, and for everyone present. It’s not good news for everyone.

"Prince Ruprecht promised that the political landscape between Germany and Austria will not change, and his eldest son will not inherit the Bavarian throne." Albert is also troubled. He is a more realistic person. On the front line, he would never consider the matter of the Austro-Hungarian crown prince. However, the consequences of this incident are very serious. From afar, Bavaria and Austria have become closer. Bavaria, backed by Austria, is no longer something Prussia can deal with. This is a very troublesome issue for the central government of the empire in the future. From now on, there is an empire and a kingdom standing behind Earl Schelling. Albert's confidence is not as good as the German army!

"This is simply treason! How can Bavaria and Austria-Hungary do this?!" Barthes said angrily.

"Well, we won’t talk about this topic for the time being. This is beyond our control. On the contrary, our future destiny is controlled by the Kingdom of Bavaria to a certain extent. The German army and the Kaiser must have also received the news, but they chose Silence. If we express objection or a little bit of dissatisfaction, then there is no need to say the result, we will not live for a week." Albert said with some pain. This is not just for fun. If Bavaria declares to be on the side of the Kaiser, both the army and the government on his side will naturally fall apart. After all, no one wants to participate in a losing war!
