In fact, although Albert was a little too optimistic about the situation, the Social Democratic Party did have some influence in other countries. In addition to the three free cities and the Orthas-Lorraine region that everyone knows, there are also representatives of several princes among the attendees. For example, Prince Leopold IV!

"First of all, welcome everyone here and work together for our common cause and goal!" Albert looked around the participants and said: "Compared with the two factions of Bavaria and the German Emperor, I think our greatest advantage is that our goals are highly consistent! There is no competition for power among states among us, nor will we argue endlessly over a certain colony or privilege, because our goal is the administrative power of the entire empire. We will tell everyone with practical actions that the medieval feudal system is outdated, and only us, and the people behind us, can lead this country to a more glorious tomorrow!"

"We have representatives of political parties, such as me, and the princes of the empire, and the noble Prince Lipper." Here Albert owed a little to Leopold IV. "There are also senior executives, such as Mayor Klein from Hamburg. We represent the vast majority of Germany. This time it will also become our first battle as a political force that can dominate the empire!"

Albert said this is correct. Whether it is the free city or the princes that choose to cooperate with the Social Democratic Party, their strength is too small. Generally speaking, it is a city of 1,000 to 2,000 square kilometers. Do you still want to expand this territory and population outside? Expansion depends on the foundation? Therefore, these small states are also very open-minded. They think that instead of being a "mayor" without real power, it is better to devote themselves to party politics in order to gain more benefits at the imperial level. What is in this world more likely to make profits than people with designated policies? Therefore, some small states began to transform from aristocrats to party leaders a long time ago.

"Our main purpose this time is not to compete for the territory of the Eastern Front. Our main task is the administrative rights of the empire. In order to achieve this goal, we must do the following. The first generation point is that the hierarchical parliamentary system must be abolished. Our main supporters are civilians, intellectuals and merchant financiers. Their votes are suppressed in the hierarchical parliament. As long as we can achieve universal suffrage, the upper house of the Imperial Parliament will be our world, and the Imperial Prime Minister can only come from among us." Albert said.

"This may be difficult. The Social Democratic Party has very limited influence in southern Germany, and countries like Bavaria reject foreign parties very much. If these large states establish a new party, then our position in the future parliament will not be stable. After all, even the largest Social Democratic Party has only more than 1 million members, while Bavaria has a population of more than 13 million. At this time, the army of the Liberian army is estimated to exceed 800,000. I think if one person and one vote, the Crown Prince Ruprecht can turn around and pull up a party that can match the Democratic Party. Not to mention anything else, the army in the hands of this Crown Prince will vote 99% of their Crown Prince, and will not give you." Klein from Hamburg said.

I have to say that as the mayor of a free city, Klein's political sense is still very keen. If there is a big party as a supporter, then Klein's achievements may not be lower than Albert. To be honest, compared with other major countries, Germany's party system is still relatively immature. Not to mention anything else, it is nothing just in terms of the population covered. The Social Democratic Party is Germany's largest party, and only 1 million members are.

You know, Germany had a population of more than 70 million at this time! (higher than in history) In history, there have even been some political groups in Germany that are larger than the party, such as Tirpitz's Naval Association and the Military Association after World War I. So, Klein knew very well that if some influential people wanted to establish a political party, their competitiveness in the Imperial Parliament might not be worse than that of the Social Democratic Party, such as the Crown Prince Ruprecht.

"However, the number of party members is only the basic foundation of a political party, and we can also radiate and influence more people." Albert said with some dissatisfaction. In his opinion, his situation is very good. Why are there always some people who cannot see the benefits and just look for problems?

"Mr. Albert's words are very reasonable, and Mr. Klein's words must be taken seriously. The Social Democratic Party only has a certain influence within the original Prussian range. After the war, in addition to the original population of Germany, there was also a large number of new territory. What should they do?" Leopold IV said. In fact, the prince did not say anything explicitly, that is, the German army on the front line was also very dissatisfied with the things that the parliamentary faction had done. Although they would not fight a civil war, if their disgust was vented through votes, it would be enough for the Social Democratic Party to lose money!

"The new population is naturally impossible to be included in our voters. They are all Ukrainians, Russians and Poles. A few months ago, they were our mortal enemies. Even if the areas they live in are incorporated into the territory of the German Empire, it does not mean that we should give them citizen treatment! They are completely our slaves!" Albert's answer was very simple. Although Albert advocates democracy, he is also a racist. To be honest, if national assimilation is about, the German Emperor is better than the Social Democratic Party. After all, there are many Junker nobles who say what they say from their ancestors, they are all Poles, and now they are still loyal to the German Emperor.

"This is probably a very troublesome problem. If some kingdoms are willing to give those people the status of citizenship and the imperial central government does not recognize it, it will cause great trouble." Klein said in his heart. He had a premonition in his heart that in this meeting, there will always be someone who will use this issue to attack the Social Democratic Party!

At this time, both Klein and Leopold IV in the venue were very uneasy because Albert was a little too optimistic in front of them. Under Albert's strength, everyone was unwilling to continue to make some suggestions, because they knew that before Albert hit a wall, this somewhat arrogant guy could not listen to other people's opinions. Ironically, the parliamentary faction, who thought that the most united inside, was actually the one with the greatest differences!
