"So good, let's talk about the second question. I have always believed that the country is higher than political parties and higher than nations. The goal we strive to make the German Empire called the most powerful country in the world. And in order to achieve this goal, what we must do is to improve efficiency. This is efficiency in all senses. Our factories must produce the best products, our people must receive good education and generous benefits, and our army must have firm will and strong combat effectiveness. So, can the Social Democratic Party really do better?" Schell asked.

"Why do you ask such a question? By breaking the monopoly of the Junker nobles over the official system, we can absorb more elites from all walks of life to participate in the management of society. The efficiency will definitely be improved. If the universal suffrage system is adopted, every vote we get is voted by voters, and we will naturally change people's livelihood. If the army is loyal to the country, not loyal to the individual, it is easier to develop cohesion. This is very simple." Knowles said curiously. He felt that Schell's political sensitivity was too low? The Social Democratic Party has been promoting this idea for decades. Has Schell not heard of it?

However, Schell must have heard of these things, and his ears were already calloused. To be honest, Knowles' answer disappointed Schell. Because the latter did not solve the most fundamental problem, that is, Germany's efficiency is actually not high. At least Prussia's efficiency is far less than that of Bavaria in the south. As for the reasons, at Schell's level, he naturally understands the reasons. Although Schell is not very interested in someone's works, he has a clear understanding of the bourgeois greed and pursuit of profits!

Now, monopoly has formed within Prussia, and monopoly means huge profits, which means that various Prussian companies can obtain excess profits without pursuing technological progress. In the absence of state regulation or external threats, this inertia will seriously affect the efficiency of the country.

Schell understood very well that in parliament, whether it is the Social Democratic Party or the Catholic Central Party in the south, they are inseparable from the aristocrats and capitalists. Their activities and campaigns require money, but where does the money come from? Most of them are naturally sponsored by major chaebols. As the saying goes, if you take short positions and take other people's money, you will naturally tend to invest in your own chaebols in formulating policies. Over time, in the hearts of these political parties, national interests will give way to party and capital interests.

However, after a long time of change, the entire country became a capitalist country. In Schell's view, this turned some regimes controlled by the Junker aristocrats into capitalist regimes. Is there any essential difference? As for the so-called universal suffrage? Schell really doesn't believe that the Social Democratic Party can make a true one person and one vote. After all, the Social Democratic Party also advocates setting thresholds based on tax amounts and assets. (Before World War I, even the United States did not have universal suffrage. There was no universal suffrage for all men and women. That was after 1920.)

In Scher's view, full competition among enterprises, effective adjustment of the state, and ensuring the establishment of a huge middle class are the three cornerstones of social efficiency and stability. The first point ensures the vitality of the enterprise, the second point makes national policies always for the country rather than a certain class. The third point is the cornerstone of social stability and progress! As for why Scher had such an idea? The reason is very simple, Bavaria next door to Prussia did this!

There are also large companies such as bmw and db in the Kingdom of Bavaria. They are strong but have not formed a monopoly. In order to obtain orders, they need to constantly innovate their technology. In order to prevent offensive and defensive alliances between companies, the Kingdom of Bavaria also established an Anti-Monopoly Law. At the same time, the Kingdom itself is also engaged in research on some key technologies. Perhaps it was eventually wasted because it could not be put into production, but it forced the company to innovate its technological innovation through competition.

Therefore, so far, the industrial products produced in Bavaria are almost the first-class in Germany, and the military industry is even more powerful. The biggest beneficiary of doing so is naturally the country. In the process of development, the state has obtained the first pot of gold at the beginning of development through policy support or rewards, and thus successfully survived. For example, the automobile industry, the efficiency of automobiles in the 1990s was not as good as a carriage. The Prussian government was unwilling to invest a small part of the huge funding to support this industry, while Bavaria supported this new type of industry from the perspective of national strategy. Therefore, the automobile market of the Southern Industrial Group is now the whole of Germany. This is the significance of national regulation and support.

During the development of Bavaria, Scher was very grateful to the achievements of today because he correctly handled the relationship between the market economy and the state's regulation. He believed that a correct will of the country was indispensable. After the Social Democratic Party came to power, Scher did not think that they could do better than the person in the south.

As for the welfare of the people? This thing was done in Germany as early as the Bismarck era. To put it bluntly, the so-called welfare is the transfer payment of the government. Maybe Scher did not understand this term, but he knew this meaning. If the status of a political party in various kingdoms, then there is no doubt that the role of the political parties in Prussia must be greater than that of Bavaria. The reason is very simple. Bavaria is a place where no major aristocrats interfere in internal affairs and there is also little room for party development. The latter is much simpler than the political structure within Prussia.

But if we talk about the welfare of the people now, Bavaria is much better than Prussia. Even the welfare of Bavaria is the highest in Britain and France. You should know that Germany's per capita income is not as high as Britain and France, and Bavaria is higher than Britain. Scher does not believe that after letting Albert and others take power, they can do better than Bavaria. Because Bavaria, as a royal family, actually attaches more importance to the governance of the country. After all, the entire country belongs to others...

In Scher's view, in fact, whether it is the parliamentary republic or the current German system, the ultimate goal is to enhance Germany's strength. The German emperor may not do well in some places, but some guys in the parliament may not be able to do it well. As a relatively tough general, what Scher most hopes for in his heart is that people like Crown Prince Ruprecht control the country, rather than a group of political parties quarreling all day in the parliament, and he cannot get a result for a long time...
