The so-called "no speculation" is too much. After confirming the other party's attitude, Knowles stood up and said goodbye. On the way back, he already knew what the Social Democratic Party needs to do in the future, that is, he must take action against the German officers' regiment!

Three days later, when Grand Duke Baden and Barth met again, the atmosphere of the talks became more harmonious, because before their meeting, they had already known a lot of things. Grand Duke Baden knew that the people of the parliamentary faction had contacted the army, but the result was very bad. At the same time, the parliamentary faction also learned through its own channels that Moltke was also hitting a wall with the officers' regiment. Of course, more importantly, both the German Emperor and the parliamentary faction knew that the officers' regiment had political ambitions. This was unacceptable to both sides! Therefore, let's exclude other issues for the time being, and both sides should kick out the third party who was preparing to participate in German politics first!

"The imperial government can be shared by emperors, nobles and all classes, but the army, as the guardian of order, should be as far away from politics as possible." Grand Duke Baden said first.

"It's true, and the solidification of the military class is absolutely not good for the empire. Some old nobles have existed in the army for generations, and various relationships are mixed. It's time to inject some fresh blood into the army." Barte nodded in agreement.

"I suggest dividing the army into two parts, part of which is the mobile force of the empire, subordinate to the imperial government, and the other part belongs to the states. The former is used for foreign warfare, while the latter is mainly used to respond to domestic and colonial crises." Bart put forward his own opinions.

"This is impossible. Don't forget that besides Prussia, the German Empire has other kingdoms. In peacetime, there are not many troops in other kingdoms, and generally there are only one to two armies at most. Such an arrangement will make the troops very dispersed. Moreover, the Bavarian Kingdom definitely disagrees with the division of part of the troops they support for the use of the central government of the empire." The Grand Duke of Baden decisively rejected Barth's proposal.

As Grand Duke Baden said, Barth's suggestion was not practical at all. What is the first rule of the army in the German Empire? The army belongs to the kingdom! The German Empire had no imperial army at all. They were all collected by Prussia, Bavaria, Wurttemberg and Saxony. The kingdom was responsible for the supply and expenses of the army. If the states such as Württemberg and Saxony use Prussian funds, it is possible to talk about it, then Bavaria is completely impossible! After all, why should the army you have to support yourself? This principle is fine in Germany! It belongs to the category of political correctness!

And the most important thing is that the Bavarian Legion has formed its own system. If the Imperial Army wants the Bavarian Legion to join, then two logistics supply systems are needed. As for whether one is possible? In terms of efficiency, the Bavarian equipment system is the best, but the Prussian arms chamber will make a fuss, and if Prussian is in the case of Prussia, Bavaria will definitely not do it! Therefore, whether from a political or practical perspective, it is impossible to make a set of similar troops and National Guards similar to the American army and the National Guard!

"We have been in contact with Bavaria's military affairs, and the aviation power will be divided into three parts. The first part is the naval aviation directly belonging to the navy, including sea-based aviation and carrier-based aviation. Bombers, reconnaissance aircraft and transport aircraft will form a strategic air force, which is affiliated with the central government of the empire. The army units of each state will be assigned to the army aviation units belonging to the army."

"The army army is usually under the responsibility of the general staff of the countries to which it belongs, and there will be a military committee affiliated with the state to manage it. The military committee will be composed of state leaders and government officials. This military committee will uniformly manage the Imperial Navy, Army and Air Forces." Prince Baden said.

"This structure is very good. We need to go back and carefully consider the details, but we still cannot break the officers' monopoly on the upper level." Barte nodded and said. There is no way. Barte is a politician and knows nothing about military affairs. After returning, he also has to ask Buller, the only professional soldier among the senior executives of the parliament, to see what this person thinks.

"The newly established naval and land aviation forces and the strategic air force themselves are separated from the old officer regiment system. As for the internal army? This change will be a relatively long process. We must first ensure that after the war is over, officers from other classes can stay in the army. Of course, there is a more direct way to directly split the officer regiment. I wonder if you have thought of it?" Grand Duke Baden smiled mysteriously.

"A more direct solution?" Bart frowned slightly.

"In fact, neither of us can completely overwhelm each other. Whether it is His Majesty the Emperor or the Parliament, we want to completely grasp the power. So is there a way to take into account our needs?" said Grand Duke Baden.

"I still don't understand what you mean." Barth seemed to have guessed something, but he still didn't want to explain it.

"In 395 AD, Rome!" Grand Duke Baden woke up.

"Haha, if I remember correctly, then this year, the huge Roman Empire became two empires in the east and west. It is said that Rome split in history. The Eastern Roman Empire perished in less than a few years, while the Western Roman Empire lasted for thousands of years until the rise of the Ottoman Turkish Empire!" Barth now understood what the Grand Duke of Baden was thinking, which coincided with him! That is, the German Emperor also realized his absolute rights in certain regions through the split of Prussia!

The German Emperor finally took this step. In recent times, the German Emperor was under tremendous pressure from their supporters. They demanded that the German Emperor must ensure that the original system could be implemented within the empire and that the nobles must possess regime and privileges. This part of the support mainly comes from the region where Prussia belonged before 1815. That is to say, East Prussia accumulated by the old Junker nobles! They claimed that the monarch and the nobles were one. If the king could not guarantee the interests of the nobles, then the nobles could not support the king. In this case, the German Emperor, who had no basic foundation, had almost no other choice! He could only agree to their request.

If you want to guarantee these, there is only one way to eliminate the influence of the Social Democratic Party! According to this principle, the only feasible method at present is to divide Prussia! The Prussian Kingdom dominated by emperors and nobles, and the Federal Prussia dominated by parliament and political parties!
