"It seems that our plan is not going well?" Wilson said after listening to Robert at the US delegation's residence.
"Yes, the Social Democrats have a high morale. They removed Shedman. We lost one of the most important friends in the parliamentary faction." Robert said.
"Then our plan failed?" Wilson said with a frown.
"How come? Like this kind of plan, the prerequisite for its success is to have a certain social foundation. Whether it is a parliamentary or a royalist, they will choose to split when their side cannot get the full benefits. The United States is like this. Wasn’t this the case in the Civil War? The South would rather start a war than abolish the slavery system. The same is true in Prussia. In fact, the officers who are most persistent in the reunification of Prussia are the officers, apart from them, whether it is Germany or other states. There are still two factions in Germany, and they can both accept the result of Prussia being divided into two." Robert said.
"If we work hard, can the German Empire completely return to its original federal state? Will Bavaria want to be truly independent?" Wilson said.
"This is impossible! Ruprecht's political level and ethics are far beyond your imagination. He himself will not let Bavaria break away from the German system, because it is not good for him and his kingdom. He may also increase the efficiency of the Federal Assembly. And if anyone else wants to leave, the iron fists of Prussia and Bavaria will eliminate all hidden dangers in minutes." Robert said.
"In other words, the weakening of the German central government will reduce the efficiency of the empire, but division is still impossible?" Wilson asked.
"Yes, there are still some reliable politicians in Germany. No matter what, after this war, the national power of the German Empire will rise to a higher level. As for the future relationship between the United States of America and Germany, it is not ours. This generation can decide, so Wilson, do the immediate thing and leave the rest to the future generations." Robert said.
In fact, Robert Lansing is also aware of the deep-seated contradictions between the United States of America and Germany, but now, obviously before the time, cooperation between the United States and Germany is still the mainstream. Therefore, he had to remind Wilson of the current situation.
"Okay, Secretary of State, I will pay attention to my attitude." Wilson nodded and said.
At the same time, the Kaiser and his staff were also analyzing the current situation during the Kaiser’s convoy in Brussels, Belgium. Three days ago, Xiao Moqi brought back the opinions of the senior officers of the army. The high-level leaders headed by Luke made it clear that the problems in Germany can only be solved by what they said, which made everything irreversible. Without the Kaiser, who was supported by the army, it was simply not enough to rely on the few people under Maoqi to help the parliament. The pie killed it. Therefore, now, the Kaiser can only seriously consider the issue of negotiation.
This time, the Kaiser did not allow his son to participate. I have to say that the performance of Prince Wilhelm made the Kaiser, his father, too disappointed. Therefore, this meeting is still dominated by the Kaiser, the Grand Duke of Baden and the Little Mochi. And Grand Duke Baden just returned from another venue.
"Now, let me introduce the political trends within the Kingdom of Prussia. From east to west, the provinces of Prussia are East Prussia, West Prussia, Pomorie, and (near the Baltic Sea, the down payment is now Szczecin) Posen. Provinces, Silesia, Brandenburg, Schleswig, Ollstein, Hanover, Lower Saxony, (not the same as the Kingdom of Sax) Rhine-Western, Rhineland, Hesse— Nassau Province."
"The local governments of these provinces support us in East Prussia, West Prussia, Pomeranian Province, Posen Province, plus the Rhine-Western and Rhineland Provinces that we now control. Among the 13 provinces (and one The Hohenzollern Territory, which is directly under the royal family), we have at least five!" said Grand Duke Baden.
"As for the parliamentary faction, they now control Brandenburg, Lower Saxony, most of the eastern part of Hanover, and parts of the Hesse-Nassau province. They have begun to establish their own grassroots power during this time. According to the news so far, they are progressing very smoothly."
"As for the other provinces, the coastal areas of Schleswig, Ollstein, and Hanover are under the control of the navy. The local government remains neutral, while the people prefer parliament. Silesia, because of some things that happened before. , And we were not able to express our position immediately, the people there were quite complaining about your Majesty." Grand Duke Baden introduced the general situation.
"In general, we have an advantage. Our supporters hope that we can restore the situation before the empire as much as possible. But the current situation is very difficult The parliamentary faction has established some grassroots governments, and they They will definitely demand the legitimacy of these regimes. The parliament wants to abolish the hierarchical election system and adopt universal suffrage. This is the direction they have been working hard on, and now these have won the support of ordinary people."
"I have to say that the parliamentary tactics to deceive people are really good. They have begun to mobilize their members to operate in many neutral areas, and because of the inaction of violent agencies in certain neutral areas, some situations have become a little tricky. Therefore, if we want to solve the problem, we must be fast." Grand Duke Baden said.
"What is the military's attitude towards this?" After so many things, the Kaiser has become accustomed to facing these problems with a peaceful mind.
"The main corps on the western front are not moving. In the western Hanover, Rhineland, and Rhine-West regions close to the front, the corps maintained good control, but they refused to exert their influence in other neutral areas. The navy is strict. Controlled the social order within the scope, the navy controlled the area, the parliamentary faction did not do anything." Xiao Maoqi said.
"Then we and the rebels in the parliament mainly compete for two points. The first point is the control of the national center, and the other is the local administrative power?" said the Kaiser.
"There is also legislative power. If the rebels want to solidify their current victory, then they must determine an election system that benefits them through parliament or negotiation. For example, the local government assembly has one person, one vote, or the entire bureaucracy. The selection mechanism of the company.” Grand Duke Baden said.
