Your Excellency seems to have hidden a lot of things on purpose. "Ruprecht frowned. He could feel that the two of them had spoken for a long time, but the Grand Duke of Baden still had a lot of questions not to say. The crown prince was contrary to the previous plan on the Turkish issue, and on the new territory. The barbaric behavior seems to be just the tip of the iceberg of these recent things? "If you think you really need to come to me to solve the problem, then we should be honest with each other. You obviously have some concerns. "
Ruprecht still clearly felt Prince Baden's hesitation on some issues. Although Prince Baden is very dissatisfied with the issue of new territories as the crown prince, this kind of thing is not big or small. For ordinary people, the anger of the crown prince must be considered, but for Pakistan It's not a big deal for someone at the level of Prince Baden. There is no need for Prince Baden to keep such a secret. Therefore, the crown prince believes that Prince Baden must have received some other inside information.
"His Royal Highness is setting up some small groups. This group has begun to penetrate the Kingdom of Prussia, involving various sectors of the military, economy, and culture. In terms of nature, it has the same effect as the original naval association, but it is more radical and wealthy. Aggressive. They safeguard the interests of the nobility and some capitalists, while at the same time advocating to guarantee the dominance of Protestantism within the empire.” Prince Baden said.
"Furthermore, His Royal Highness also established a new political party, a principle covering the former Prussian region. This is a pure interest group, so they can accept everyone including the former right-wing members of the Social Democratic Party. And this If a group of people are mixed together, then they must have a common goal to unite them." Prince Baden hesitated, but did not dare to say the rest.
"This goal is probably aimed at us, right?" Ruprecht sighed leisurely. Bavaria has never been a popular presence among Prussian high-levels, especially this plane, because it is very simple, the rise of Bavaria will certainly take away a part of the cake that originally belonged to the Prussian nobles and capitalists. The division of Prussia will also make a group of originally neutral Junker nobles dissatisfied with Bavaria. Although the crown prince is innocent on the surface, sometimes people's feelings are so unreasonable.
In the final analysis, it is still a matter of interest, but because of the pressure of the foreign war, this internal conflict was suppressed by the Kaiser and the crown prince. And now, when this pressure is not there, the outer fighting is over, and the inner fighting will definitely occur as a result. This is a logical thing, not only in Germany, but also in other countries. After the Americans have fought the British, they still have to fight a civil war. Looking at the history of Europe before, which power has never fought a civil war or experienced large-scale political turmoil?
What Prime Minister Bismarck said is correct, and it is still the case today, that is, the Germans lack the concept of a country! In history, the Weimar Republic has eliminated the barriers between states to a certain extent. But now? Because Germany has won and the state system is still there, then this gap still exists. To some extent, this is one of the few negative effects left on Germany by the Crown Prince after winning the First World War. !
To be honest, the crown prince can think of this to a certain level. It is not that the crown prince thinks that he can unite a group of people to get Bavaria through the present. If it is said that before the war, the German emperor has the ability to pay some price and press Lost Bavaria, so now, even if the Kaiser and the Crown Prince have the same idea, they are unable to execute it.
But no matter what, if the crown prince used the slogan to fight against Bavaria and guarantee the interests of the North German Protestants, he could indeed win over a considerable number of people! A considerable number of German aristocrats, capitalists and financiers in conflict with Bavaria, and even some major forces in the Prussian Federation that originally supported the Social Democratic Party may join this alliance. Even some civilians whose living standards have declined due to the addition of cheap labor in the new territories may join this group.
In the future, the population of the German Empire will be hundreds of millions! No matter how good the crown prince does, to be honest, it is not difficult to find 20 million people dissatisfied with Bavaria in this country! Don't Germans like to form associations? Obviously not! Think of the Naval Association with millions of members in history, and the influential World War I Veterans Association. There is no doubt that the crown prince’s banner caters to the needs and ideas of a considerable number of people. Economically, they need to contend with Bavaria. Politically, they need to find an enemy to transfer the dissatisfaction within the state. In terms of interests, they You can use this as a banner to hug together!
As for William's attitude in this matter? Then it is intriguing, to say that there is no grievance between the Kaiser and Bavaria? That is obviously impossible, and there is indeed a competitive relationship between the two sides. But compared to the crown prince directly forming a political group for this purpose, the Kaiser’s methods may be more moderate. As for whether the Kaiser supports this behavior of the crown prince? The crown prince believes that in the current situation, the Kaiser is mostly acquiesced or neutral!
The reason for this is apart from the competitive relationship between each other In addition, to some extent, the Kaiser believes this is also one of the ways to strengthen the imperial power. First of all, according to the understanding of the crown prince, although the German emperor has frequently improved the status of Prince Albert in the recent period, at least for now, the emperor has no idea to depose the prince. The prince and Prince Albert are actually in a competitive relationship! And the power in the hands of the crown prince is equal to the emperor to some extent! Therefore, the Kaiser may be aware of some of the problems with this kind of intensified contradiction, but the Kaiser may still think that the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.
Well, now the question is, why did the Prince of Baden, who is the first iron of the Kaiser, talk about these things with the crown prince on the runway of Bavaria? On the one hand, it is naturally because the Prince of Baden is very dissatisfied with some of the actions of the crown prince in the new territory. On the other hand, although the Grand Duke of Baden is a **** member of the Kaiser, the personal relationship between the Kaiser and the Prince of Baden is also very close, but there is a point that the Grand Duke of Baden believes that the prince’s behavior of engaging in religious confrontation gave Baden. Great instability has been brought about within the Grand Duchy! Because unlike North Germany, where Protestants dominate, Bavaria is dominated by Catholics. In Baden, Protestants and Catholics are almost evenly matched!
