Chapter 1853: In Berlin II

To be honest, Albert is not just a politician. People who can get to this point also have ideals and beliefs. He really wants to build a German empire with a parliamentary system, and then weaken the autonomy of the German states and strengthen the central government. centralization. Albert believes that only Germany that adopts a parliamentary system and achieves centralization can develop better and stronger in the future. Therefore, at the very beginning, his goal was the authority of the entire empire, and he did not mind annexing several states during the coup.

However, the ideal is beautiful, and the reality is cruel. In the end, the plan made by Albert and others became the regime that controls Prussia, while trying to ensure that there is no direct conflict with other large states. Regarding this, Albert could only comfort himself by having trouble finding Bavaria after the war. But looking at the current situation, let alone the struggle for power, the parliamentary faction has fallen into a disadvantaged position, but what about Bavaria? Now even stronger, even if he gets the Prussian regime, Albert has no idea about Bavaria...

And now, in addition to the failure of his great ideals, there is another thing very terrible, and it is because of this incident that Shedman is "forced" to get sick. Of course, this matter cannot be said yet, and it may cause instability in the military.

"Then what are they doing here? Just to let one of us take a trip to Vienna? Or, what are you going to make?" Dietman said.

"There is no official contact yet, but it is foreseeable that they will play tricks in the Reichstag. I believe that Bavaria is not interested in Prussian rights, but they will definitely try to set various restrictions on us in the Reich Central Government. , And the worst thing is that the Imperial Corps may have similar views." Albert said.

"But there is still a good thing about this matter. At least, if the two sides negotiate, we won't lose completely, and we can get more rights than before. The empire will not go back to the past." Ge thought for a while and said.

"But the Prussian government will be caught up in babbling. If no one party can obtain complete authority, then the efficiency will be very low. If the other party supports it, we will oppose it. This is not just talking! Prussian internal problems will be delayed for a long time. Undecided, and the power of the imperial central government will be greatly reduced, what have we done! This is simply self-weakening!" Barthes said.

"But we have no way out." Albert made a quiet gesture and said, "Even if the Kaiser fails, he is at least a national symbol, and if we fail, then the gallows will be waiting for us. Neither did we I think things will develop to this situation, but even so, we still have to stick to it!" Albert said.

Before the meeting, Albert really thought about surrendering and restoring the empire to its original state, and then in exchange for the German Emperor’s amnesty. However, this thought was just a flash, and the amnesty seemed good, but who can guarantee that the Kaiser will not trouble himself for other reasons afterwards? Even if the German emperor doesn't ask for trouble, would the big money owners who supported him at the beginning just give up if they didn't achieve their goals? Absolutely impossible! They did not hesitate to send the empire to the brink of civil war for their own purposes! Don't look at the appearance of people like Albert, they are just some people's agents! In the way their businessmen handle things, if they pay money and risks without reward, they will kill people! Of course, the way of killing will be more elegant.

Even if he does not consider himself, Albert still cannot give up, because he is the leader, even though he and a few people can get rid of the revenge through previous accumulation or exchange, and even leave Germany. But what about the others? At least hundreds of thousands of Social Democratic Party members and supporters who followed them to participate in this matter? What do they do? Want to say that the Kaiser will forgive them? Albert would never believe it! As a politician, it is possible to say that lack of integrity is possible, but at his height, if there is no integrity at all, it is impossible.

"So how do we negotiate? We exchange opinions with the Kaiser, and then reach an agreement?" Barthes asked.

"In addition to reaching an agreement with the Kaiser, we must also allow other states, the Prussian army and the navy to agree to the estimate before it can be passed. Otherwise, if any party opposes, we will not be able to reach an agreement." Buhler spoke.

"This is obviously an internal problem in Prussia. Why do we need to look at the attitudes of other states and navies? After we reach an agreement with the Kaiser, can the nobles of the officer regiment still object?" Dietman asked angrily, acting as Civilian, he himself had malice against the Junker nobles in the army.

"Because now, the person with the gun in his hand is the decision maker. We want to use this opportunity to change Germany, and other forces are the same. For example, the officer corps should have obeyed the central government. He has opinions on us and the Kaiser. We harmed their interests and they doubted the Kaiser's ability. And a weak regime will always make the soldiers think something wrong!" Albert said.

"I have always believed that Germany has two enemies in the future, one is the powerful Bavaria, and the other is the officer corps that is deeply rooted in Prussia and controls the army. They are existences beyond government control. The former threatens the authority of the government from the outside. The latter controls the interior of the empire." Albert paused and continued: "Even if we won't succeed in the end, we must drag one of the enemies to the end!"

"Take Bavaria to die together? It seems impossible, it can only be the officer group." Dietman said.

"Yes, in any case, the highest commander of the future Prussian army can only be the Minister of Defense, and the Minister of Defense must be a civilian! All officers must be controlled by civilians!" Albert said viciously. Albert's idea is still possible, because the Kaiser can not rest assured of this army now! While the officer regiment was still trying to protect the interests of Prussia, Albert and His Majesty the Emperor had already begun to prepare to deal with the officer regiment. It was unpredictable!

"So how do we face Bavaria?" someone asked.

"Mr. Hassy and Mr. Buhler are here to receive Earl Schelling. The rest of you continue to improve our negotiation plan. Our only advantage now is the support of the people. We must let the people know that the future of Germany It will be better under our rule. Well, so be it." Albert said.
