1726 Situation 1
Of course, like the prince, Hindenburg also had a stance in his heart, that is, Germany can fight in internal struggles, but he must not lose the war. In fact, his request for increased Prussian military production capacity and the orders to consolidate his positions in the front line troops also meant to prepare for the British and French raids. Hindenburg knew that if he and his colleagues wanted to go further, relying on the Social Democratic Party would definitely be more reliable than relying on the German Emperor. After all, if the parliamentary system was really successful, then Albert and others would definitely have to attack the nobles within the army. After all, these people who hold military power were inconsistent with themselves, and in this way, Hindenburg and others would inevitably take over the throne. After all, the army must be managed by people who understand military affairs!
There is also a possibility that Hindenburg and the Social Democratic Party did not fully cooperate, and Hindenburg only maintained "good-intention neutrality" towards the Social Democratic Party. But no matter what, after such adjustments, Germany was already very empty. If the Social Democratic Party took this opportunity to invade and control part of the army, and another part of the domestic army remained neutral, then the German Emperor would be in real danger.
Of course, even if there are internal problems, Germany will definitely not be able to face the situation where more than 100,000 troops from both sides face each other. This is not a fight for power but a death. It is estimated that the most likely result is that the Social Democratic Party put forward its own demands and the German Emperor bargained.
Based on the intelligence collected from various channels, this time the main target of the right of the Social Democratic Party is the rights of Prussia and the Imperial Parliament. Even in the historical situation of internal and external difficulties in Germany, some people were still willing to retain the German Emperor. Now, the Social Democratic Party is not willing to force the abolition of the imperial system, which led to a strong backlash between the German Emperor and the Junker nobles, because if this is the case, it would be a zero-sum game.
Strengthening parliamentary power and implementing universal suffrage system are the most basic requirements of Albert and others. It is estimated that the German Emperor would agree to this point, but if he wanted to deprive William II of his absolute control over Prussia, the German Emperor might not agree. Historically, William II could give up the title of German Emperor, but he had to retain the status of the king of the Prussian Kingdom. This is obvious. Prussia accounts for more than 60% of Germany's territory and population. It can be said that whoever controls Prussia controls the overall situation of the German Empire.
In order to compete for control of Prussia, both sides are more likely to oppress each other through "power" to make concessions! This explanation is to attract allies and public opinion. People are a kind of social creatures, and the choices of people around them will definitely affect their own choices. This is the so-called herd mentality. If the Social Democratic Party suddenly attacked quickly controlled several major cities in Germany. Well, the possibility of the German Emperor's compromise is very high. If only one or two cities are controlled and the army or other forces do not respond, it is possible for the German Emperor to directly draw some troops in to suppress it. After all, in a situation where he will definitely lose, not many people dare to resist the "King Army"!
"If the information provided by our inside line is correct, the Social Democratic Party has infiltrated the garrisons around Berlin very well, as is Leipzig and Dresden. If this happens, Albert will have the advantage in central Germany, East Prussia is a war zone, and with Markens under the pressure, nothing should happen. In the west, the Ruhr area is the most important military-industrial place in Germany, and it is close to the front line, and it should not dare to act under the shock of the army on the Western Front." Prince Leopold analyzed.
