Chapter 1879 The reaction of all parties
"Ruprecht is trying to usurp the authority that originally belonged to me. He is finally unwilling to be the king of a country. The whole of Germany and even the whole world will be his stage." In a small house at the head of the German Emperor, William II, who was extremely haggard, looked at the telegram that had just been forwarded from Munich. However, this time, he was just sighing about the impermanence of fate, and there were not many emotions called anger in it. Because his anger had been exhausted from accidents and events, the German Emperor is really tired now. If it weren't for a group of people pushing him away, he would have really chosen to give up!
"Do we need to reply to Munich? Such a meeting that convenes all members of the Federation can only be convened by His Majesty. Even if the parliamentary faction does not say that the emperor is abolished, then you are at least the supreme ruler of the empire, not to mention that you still have most of Prussia." said Moltke.
"Forget it, let's do it. The halo of imperial power has disappeared. Now, apart from a certain position, how many people in the empire regard me as a real emperor? How many people are willing to listen to me? If this matter can end relatively smoothly, I want to start with a king first." The German Emperor sighed and said.
"But your Majesty, even if we can ignore the fact that Bavaria has committed some of the transgressions this time, if our name and the name of the parliamentary faction appear in this statement at the same time, it means that we have somehow recognized the status of the parliament. They are no longer rebels. From this perspective, Bavaria has helped the parliamentary faction a lot. And Ruprecht did not answer our request, which means that Bavaria allows the states controlled by the parliamentary faction to have more territory." Grand Duke Baden said with a frown.
"Absolutely, for Bavaria, they are the safest only by dividing Prussia into two roughly equal pieces, because they do not have an advantage over Bavaria on either side. Moreover, if Bavaria does not express his opinion on this matter, he can also stay out of it and gain a good reputation for not taking advantage of it. Why should Ruprecht help us? With which so-called federal parliament veto power?"
This time, William II looked at the problem very clearly. Although he was disappointed, he was acceptable. This was just an attempt. It was great to be successful. Even if he failed, it would be a pity.
"So your Majesty, do you have any opinions on this meeting?" Grand Duke Baden was already an appointed participant. Since the German Emperor had decided to attend the meeting, he needed to determine the strategy of this meeting for the last time.
"The army must be suppressed, and the officers cannot participate too much in politics. The monopoly of the Junker nobles over the army must be broken. We are consistent with Ruprecht's opinion. Then you can cooperate with them. Ruprecht's most critical purpose is to obtain some imperial rights. We must pay attention to this point and let Prince Albert go. I am very dissatisfied with the current ability of the crown prince." The German Emperor said. In just a few words, the German Emperor explained the relevant matters. The situation is not obvious yet, so we can only adapt to the situation at that time.
At the same time, Albert and others celebrated each other. The problems that the German Emperor could see were problems, and those who had been in the German political arena for more than ten years could naturally also see. When they saw the joint signature of the three parties to issue an announcement, Albert and others finally breathed a sigh of relief! At least they would not be easily wiped out by being treated as a rebel!
"This is a great victory! We have forced them to recognize our status and strength. We will participate in this meeting with the political identity of other countries, which indicates that we will have a brighter future in the future!" Albert said excitedly at the internal high-level meeting.
"It's like this. Bavaria needs to use us to restrict the German emperor. In exchange, they must make a transfer in terms of rights. The new Prussian Federation can obtain more territory. At the same time, we can also influence the political structure of the entire empire through parliament. The first thing we need to do is to promote the legalization of political parties in other countries. We must deepen our influence to other German countries. In the future, party politics will inevitably replace aristocratic politics!" Bart said.
"Although we have no worries about our lives, it is obvious that in this quasi-Federal Conference, we have no allies. And Crown Prince Ruprecht is the royal family after all, and they have set too many shackles on the parliamentary level. I feel that our situation is not good. We still have too few trump cards in our hands." Hasai still has a clear understanding of the situation.
"However, the government cabinet is generated through voters' votes, and we have an absolute advantage in this regard. Although we can only control one parliament, the government can only be generated in our hands. This is the biggest advantage. Even if they can reject one or two, it is just a brief transfer of interests. We will eventually control the administrative rights of the empire." Barth said.
"And this time, Bavaria made it clear for the first time that it would make concessions on postal and transportation issues. Although we don't know what the purpose of this is, it is obviously a sign of weakness. We will have more rights than the previous government and more likely to interfere in the internal affairs of other countries of the empire." Albert was also a little overwhelmed by victory. His estimate of the situation was too optimistic.
"This time, Ruprecht does not seem to have any intention of inviting us to participate." Admiral Crook said to Admiral Hausen in the barracks of Frederick III on the outskirts of Brussels.
"The participants are all leaders of states, and our military is indeed not suitable to attend such a meeting." Admiral Hausen said after thinking about it.
"We may not participate, but we must not be indifferent. This parliament can already decide too many things. I know my doubts that the emperor and the parliamentary faction will finalize most of the things at this meeting." General Crook said.
"You finally decided to follow General Wadesi's path? As a political soldier?" General Hausen said meaningfully.
"We have no choice now. I don't want the Imperial soldiers to go from a glorious and sacred existence to an existence that everyone disdains, so we must have a certain voice," said General Crook.
"Grand Duke Albrecht will participate in this parliament as one of the representatives of the Kingdom of Württemberg. We can talk to him." Hausen thought for a while and said.
"That's all." Crook nodded and said.
