Chapter 1379 Before the war
Anti-pirated chapter~~~! I have changed it in my old time~~~!
"That's it." The crown prince understood it. To be honest, the two crown princes of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, one was suicide and the other was murder. Until now, it is understandable that Fritz will not establish a crown prince for the time being. And even if you have any objections, you can't force the Austro-Hungarian Empire to establish a crown prince, right?
"I'm afraid, no matter who inherits the throne of Austro-Hungarian Empire, it will be difficult to tolerate the semi-independence of Bohemia and Moravia? By then, we can deal with the Bavarian issue with Austro-Hungarian Empire."
"Let's talk about it then. In short, I need to contact Ruprecht. I need to know his attitude towards the political reform of the empire and his parliament." The German Emperor said at the end of the talks.
However, the German Emperor was simply. After returning to his office, he began to draft a letter to Ruprecht. After all, he also realized that on the premise of ensuring the stability of the Western Front, only the Bavarian Legion had enough power to deal with certain special circumstances in the entire military system. At this time, a unified position became a very important thing.
"After the war, the political territory of the empire will surely undergo a profound change. In the new era of the rise of the German Empire, we are willing to see the Bavarian Kingdom play a more important role in this new system. The Federal Parliament will be reshuffled, and Prussia reserves the veto power of parliamentary resolutions. The Bavarian Kingdom's share in parliament will certainly increase, both in proportion and in quantity."
Having written this, the German Emperor stopped and began to consider the future situation. The so-called veto power of the imperial parliament means that the Prussian family's votes account for at least one-quarter of the total proportion! (The Prussian parliament is passed by three-quarters!) The political compensation for Bavaria is to increase its status in the federal parliament. It is definitely impossible to have veto power, but it is still possible to make it easier for Bavaria to reject clauses that are unfavorable to it.
"The political pressure within the empire is great. There are many people who have their own thoughts. Capitalists and political parties hope to expand their voice. They not only want the right to propose, but also the right to pass the draft. This is the case within Prussia and the Imperial Parliament. Now, when we are fighting bloody on the front line, they are making small moves behind their backs, inciting strikes, and threatening them. They hold people who don't know the truth to shake flags and shout for them. This is a very dangerous thing. We must be highly vigilant."
"So, at the most critical moment, I need to use the sharp blade in your hand to maintain the unity and interests of this empire! And we are also the dignity and power of being a king! And we will build a new empire, which is longer lasting and stronger than all empires in history!"
"I can guarantee that Bavaria can retain its current struggle, diplomatic and military power in a legal situation. Bavaria will obtain no less than 120,000 square kilometers of territory and its residents and minerals in the post-war territory division. The newly acquired territory will not be divided, and Bavaria can own Polish distribution areas, Ukraine and even Belarus. In theory, I also support Bavaria to have 40% of the share of the Transcaucasus oil fields. All of this will be finalized after Russia and us have signed an armistice agreement! The signing time will be determined by you."
The German Emperor had put forward his requests and conditions that could be given. After adding a suitable ending, the German Emperor had a faith and stamped the unique mark of the royal family.
"Did William decide to take action?" Looking at the secret letter sent by the German Emperor, a relieved smile appeared on the corner of the prince's mouth, thinking that the prince knew that the last link of his plan had been completed! In terms of the situation, the current affairs are developing in the direction that is most beneficial to him! The German Emperor decided not to compromise with domestic political parties at the right time! Some Junker nobles who were violated will stand on his side. A limited internal struggle will break out in Prussia. The opportunity for Princess Mary to become Queen Mary is here. The opportunity for Prussia to decline is also here! That's right, Prussia must be weakened at the end of this war!
The prince closed the letter in his hand and began to consider the last question, his true attitude! He naturally had to support him in his reply, but in fact? In addition to ensuring his royal power and the stability of the federal parliament, the prince was not unable to show mercy to those bourgeois parties! For example, persuade the German emperor to compromise with the other party in some aspects and establish several free cities or high-level autonomous regions in Prussia!
That's right, you read it right, this is the prince's purpose! Prussia is too strong, so strong that it will not fundamentally change the position of the prince by becoming stronger by Bavaria. Only when Prussia is also weakened (this weakening can be not territorial, but cohesion or political.) The prince can obtain at least equal status with Prussia! And include the Austro-Hungarian Empire or the future Austria within its jurisdiction!
In fact, although the German Emperor is now clamoring to hold the reactionaries in China to the ground and rub them a hundred times. But in fact, his bottom line is still very low. Historically, he only asked to ensure the status of his Prussian king, to be a constitutional monarchy, or even not to be a title of an emperor. Therefore, if at a critical moment, the prince gives William II the control of most of Prussia and allows certain areas with concentrated political parties to become semi-independent free cities, then it is also OK.
Doing so will leave a part of the political party faction and weaken the power of Prussia. Then the best result for himself! After all, William II, who has become the most powerful country in Europe and stabilized the internal political environment, will definitely do it himself, and this is not even based on the will of the German Emperor! Even if he does not want to do it, some people will persuade the German Emperor to take action. Therefore, at this critical moment, while ensuring that Germany can win and will not collapse due to civil unrest, Ruprecht needs to stab Prussia in time!
"As a king, the Kingdom of Bavaria is willing to fight to maintain the German monarchy and power! As long as you make a decision to act, notify me in advance, the army of the Kingdom of Bavaria will serve you rather than any other organization or group in Germany!" Ruprecht wrote in his reply to the Emperor!
