1727 Situation 2

One is the contradiction between classes and the other is the contradiction between classes. The prince naturally knows how to choose this. Therefore, weakening Prussia is the prince's established plan, but Albert and others want to control the political situation in Germany? This is something that the prince will never tolerate!

"Even if we are not among the targets they are targeting this time?" Prince Leopold said with a frown.

"Yes, they won't target us this time, but they will definitely target us next time. They can control some areas in the central and western Prussia, and even become independent from Prussia, but they absolutely cannot have the ability to decide the major policies of the country." The prince said.

"This operation is very difficult. It may not be difficult for William II to give up the throne, but it is almost impossible to let him split Prussia," said Prince Leopold.

"But this is almost the optimal solution. The originally powerful Prussia was split into Prussia controlled by the German Emperor and the areas controlled by the Social Democratic Party. In this way, either of them lost their advantage over Bavaria. At the same time, the Social Democratic Party has obtained at least some local governments, and they don't have to worry about being liquidated. When Prussia is in a slump, we, Bavaria, can get along with each other." The prince said.

"This is very difficult to operate." Prince Leopold said, first of all, to make Albert and others have to make trouble, the Social Democratic Party have some advantages at the beginning, otherwise the German Emperor would not surrender. Then, when the German Emperor was about to be unable to hold on, the Bavarian army entered strongly to reverse the situation, but could not allow the German Emperor to gain an absolute advantage. When the two sides were in stalemate, Bavaria was an intermediary. Prussia gave up some areas, and William II still maintained absolute rights over the remaining areas of Prussia. After the Social Democratic Party controlled some local regimes, it was not afraid of the German Emperor's liquidation...

Of course, this change will eventually affect the superstructure, such as the Federal Parliament, which will definitely save some votes for the emerging freedoms. How to operate to ensure the interests of Bavaria is the next thing, so I won't mention it for now.

"What is Schell's attitude?" Prince Leopold thought for a while and asked. The prince also saw the important position of the navy in this domestic game. If they turned to the German Emperor at the beginning, then using the naval ships, Markensen's troops could quickly return to the land by sea, and then land at the port of Kiel toward Berlin. The air force affiliated to the German navy could even take action a few hours after an accident in Berlin.

If the navy turns to Albert, then they can not only obtain a large amount of heavy equipment and troops, but also control the materials hoarded in ports and warehouses in coastal areas. In this way, the German Emperor's Western Front troops can obtain less materials, and it is possible that they are forced to surrender directly. Therefore, if the Bavarian Legion is the biggest peripheral factor in this domestic game, then Scher's German high seas fleet is the second largest peripheral factor!

"Sher should not be prepared for this aspect, and his political sensitivity is very low." The prince thought for a while and said. "And the difference between the Navy and the Army is that his entire command system has little to do with the Junker nobles. The navy, which was advanced from other social classes, is born with a sense of closeness to the Social Democratic Party. Scher, Hippel and others must be inclined to the German Emperor, but the people below are not necessarily."

"So, I personally feel that if the incident happened, the first thing Schell had to do was not to consider who to help, but to consider the stability of the German Navy! And the stability process would be relatively long." The prince said.

"So, at the beginning, the influencing factors of the German Navy can be excluded first?" said Prince Leopold.

"Yes, if I were Schell, I would try to stabilize the internal forces in a more peaceful way, and then it would be okay to maintain the navy by neutrality as a means. Because in my opinion, if the navy does not act, there will be much less unexpected factors for us. And to be honest, I don't want to affect the navy's combat effectiveness because of internal political issues before the future war. After all, the navy is different from the army, and key technical personnel are too precious." The prince said.

"So, will you suggest Schell to choose neutrality at a critical moment?" asked the prince.

"I won't go and tell Scher. This will make people feel that I have other intentions. I will only communicate with Hippel through private channels to make him optimistic about the fleet in his hands. By the way, there are also aircraft carrier teams, which cannot be messed up. Fortunately, most of the aircraft carrier teams are Bavarians, and they should be easier to control. There are many Bavarians in the high seas fleet. If they can stabilize them, the high seas fleet will generally not mess up." The prince said.

"So how are our preparations going on now? Can we ensure that we can quickly and decisively enter the battle if the situation allows?" said Prince Leopold.

"No problem, everything is going on step by step. A storm in Budapest is brewing and will soon break out. If things exceed our expectations, then the Bohemia Legion deployed in Austria will enter the battlefield as soon as possible. (In a Austrian uniform) limit the unrest to a certain range as much as possible."

"In Bavaria, I have issued a new mobilization order, and at the same time I have drawn some experienced officers and soldiers back to China. If there is a great political turmoil in Germany, I will stabilize southern Germany as soon as possible. If Britain and France use the civil strife in Germany to launch an attack, we can also draw some troops to support. These troops come from Asia Minor, and the British expeditionary force will be resolved within one week. Then, we will watch the wall and make a decision after the situation." Ruprecht said.

"So will our offensive in Russia be launched?" asked Prince Leopold.

"Of course, Russia is the most direct threat to us now, or even in the next 30 years." The prince said with a smile. "And, if we don't move, how can some people in the country feel at ease?"

However, just three days after Ruprecht finished his conversation with his uncle, something that shocked the world broke out! On January 15, 1914, a large-scale riots and parades occurred in St. Petersburg, the capital of Russia. Subsequently, fierce conflicts occurred between the suppressed military and police and the parade personnel, and the incident quickly expanded. The fuse of this incident was in a very inconspicuous place!
