The meeting was held in the palace of the Wittelsbach family on the outskirts of Munich as scheduled. This time almost all the major states and political forces in the empire sent core personnel to participate. On the first day of the meeting, Ruprecht’s first task arranged for the meeting was successfully completed. Whether it was the Kaiser or the parliament, they ensured that the status of all states is sacred and inviolable and loses authority in the turmoil. The kingdom will be restored after the war. After discussing this topic, we entered the next topic, which is also a matter of concern to all states-the division of new territories on the Eastern Front!
"So far, the imperial army has made extremely brilliant achievements on the Eastern Front. We even surpassed Napoleon the Great in history! Although Napoleon entered Moscow, he did not firmly control the area he occupied. After finishing a seemingly showy ceremony, his army was forced to endure Russian chase and harassment in the ice and snow."
"But we are not the same! The soldiers of the empire have won a broader world for the empire with their swords." Following Ruprecht's words, the huge curtain on the wall was pulled apart, a huge eastern line The map appeared in front of everyone. From this map, everyone can clearly see the current overall situation of the Eastern Route. And, the loot everyone can get!
"Pay attention to this red line, and the cities on the red line, from north to south, from St. Petersburg, Velikiy, Smolensk, Orel, Lipetsk, Voronezh, Volgadonsk regions to the Caspian Sea coast, and The Transcaucasus region and the area west of this line will become the territory of the German Empire and its allies!"
Of course, such a vast area cannot be owned by the German Empire, and most of the Ukrainian and Austrian Polish regions belong to the newly born Austrian Empire. Later, eastern Ukraine and the lower Volga region will form a new Ukrainian vassal state.
And what are the sites that Germany can get? It can be summarized in this way, including two-thirds of Russian Poland (80,000 square kilometers), the later three Baltic states (total area of 174,000 square kilometers), the entire Belarusian region (207,400 square kilometers), and the later northwestern Ukraine Some areas (about 100,000 square kilometers). In later parts of Russia, the area of this area is about 200,000 square kilometers. And later Transcaucasus and parts of the Caucasus! The total area is about 200,000 square kilometers, and these new territories add up to more than 900,000 square kilometers! And these areas are the areas that the empire can divide!
In fact, before the formal meeting, most of the powerful principalities have already taken their cakes. The Kingdom of Württemberg finally chose to take a 24,000 square kilometers of territory from Poland, and Saxony also chose the Polish area, which covers an area of 7,500 square kilometers. These 30,000 square kilometers were divided from the control areas of Prussia and Bavaria, of which Prussia divided 20,000 square kilometers, and Bavaria divided the remaining. The Grand Duchy of Baden took the area between the later Lithuania and Belarus, about 30,000 square kilometers. The two Grand Duchy of Mecklenburg took away more than 10,000 square kilometers of Riga and the surrounding area, and the Grand Duchy of Oldenburg The territory is a bit north. As for other Grand Duchy, most of them got some scraps. But this is enough for their size.
As for why Prussia has to give more territory to other countries? The reason is very simple, who made it apparent that Prussia is fighting within it? Both the German emperor and the parliamentary faction are seeking Bavaria, so naturally they will not be too caressed about this matter, and one thing needs to be explained is that because of the incident of the Polish rebels, the Prussian high-level expectations of here are greatly reduced. In that case, they might as well give others a personal affection.
The two giants Prussia and Bavaria are really involved in cutting the cake! And the territorial division between the two parties is also very simple. In the eastern part, almost who controls it now is whoses. In Poland, Prussia took the remaining 20,000 square kilometers, but at the same time, as compensation, Prussia Owning Warsaw, the largest city in the Russian Polish region, can be regarded as fulfilling the wishes of the Prussian kings. And Bavaria took away the southern region, about 30,000 square kilometers.
The Baltic Sea coast area, except for the distribution of other states, the remaining nearly 160,000 square kilometers of land all belong to Prussia. The 100,000 square kilometers of land that later belonged to Ukraine belonged to Bavaria, because it was shot down by the Bavarian Legion, and there is no reason to give it to Prussia. As for how to divide the later Belarus and the Russian region under German control?
is very simple and rude, with Minsk and the latitude passing through Minsk as the boundary, all in the north belong to Prussia, and all in the south belong to Bavaria... As compensation, Prussia won Warsaw, Austro-Hungarian Empire won Kiev Then Bavaria won Minsk and later Smolensk. Prussia got about 140,000 square kilometers of land, and Bavaria got the same land.
So far, apart from the Caucasus region, Prussia’s new territory is 320,000 square kilometers. The new population is about 22 million. The new territory of Bavaria is about 270,000 square kilometers. The new population is more than 15 million.
If Prussia is not divided, then the territory of Prussia will jump to about 680,000 square kilometers, while Bavaria has a total area of more than 350,000 square kilometers, which is about half of Prussia. Of course, if you count the area under the control of the Wittelsbach family or Crown Prince Ruprecht, then there will be more and a lot more, the later Czech Republic, and now the Bohemia-Moravia region is the prince directly After the collapse of the Hungarian Empire, the Moravia region was temporarily controlled by the Crown Prince, so an additional area of 150,000 square kilometers could be added. In this way, in the entire Western European countries, Bavaria actually controls the area and France Quite! And the industry is not weaker than France, the total population is more than France, and it is a world-class power!
The well-divided places have been allocated, because these places are not controversial. Except that Prussia was forced to relinquish many sites due to weakening, the Bavarian-controlled area has almost remained the same. However, in addition to these places, there is another place waiting to be allocated, and that is the Transcaucasus!
