Chapter 2261                                                                                                                            �

Of course, the German Emperor would never dare to say that Bavaria would be divided. After all, if Bavaria was allowed to digest its own fruits of victory, then Bavaria would even become a powerful country far beyond France after the war! A country of this size can already be called a great power! If the German Emperor finally pushed Bavaria out and Bavaria and Austro-Hungary merged, then the power balance between Germany and Austro-Austria will undergo a fundamental change! At that time, it will be hard to say who is the younger brother and who is the older brother!

Therefore, now, the German Emperor and the parliament can suppress Bavaria appropriately, but they must not break up! If the attack on Bavaria before was finished with everyone, then the result of the attack on Bavaria is that Germany may directly collapse into three parts, and then the Bavaria and Austro-Hungarian Empire merge, and then the internal structure of the German system returns to the level of Vienna's dominance. Of course, the future Austro-Hungarian royal family may be Habsburg-Vitelsbach!

When I think of this, William II felt heartbroken! You can say that the political skills of the Habsburg family were no longer there. The Austro-Hungarian Legion, which had fought the Ottomans in Southeast Europe, disappeared. You can even say that the Austro-Hungarian Empire has become a country that relies heavily on allies, but the German Emperor had to admit that the Habsburg family's marriage skills were still as strong as ever! I can't afford to offend, I can't afford to offend! Why don't you learn it yourself?

"The parliament sent us a suggestion for this issue. Their idea was to settle the compensation for wars on the East and West Front separately. Because the German army was mainly responsible for the Western Front, the compensation from Britain and France was mainly paid to the Empire, while the Austro-Hungarian Empire was mainly responsible for the Eastern Front, so the compensation from the Russians was mainly paid to Austro-Hungarian." said Moltke.

"Haha, do those guys from the parliamentary school want to throw Bavaria out of this feast? After all, the Bavarian army is mainly in the Eastern Front and the Balkan directions." William II said with a smile. To be honest, from the bottom of his heart, William II really agrees with the parliamentary school. After all, the compensation for the Western Front is the big one! The compensation for the Eastern Front? How to say this question? There is still a melee in Russia. It is not known who can win. The peace treaty has not been signed. Who do you ask for money at this time? This is obviously removing the Austro-Hungarian Empire and Bavaria from the largest cake on the Western Front. However, the idea is beautiful, and the reality is skinny!

"If Albert dares to formally propose this idea, then I doubt whether he can live for a week." Grand Duke Baden sneered.

"But this idea can be learned from. On some issues, our interests are similar to those of the parliamentary faction." The German Emperor's answer was unexpected.

"Your Majesty, doing this will bring great political risks. We even need to consider this situation. When we make this opinion, if the parliamentary faction suddenly turns against us, then we will be no one inside or outside!" Grand Duke Baden said hurriedly, so well, now there is a question, why can this suggestion be proposed by the German Emperor, not by the parliamentary faction led by Albert? This involves the current German political situation.

After the compromise between the multiple parties, Bavaria said that it did not have much ambitions for Berlin government affairs, so it did not have much power in the cabinet and the Imperial Parliament. Bavaria's influence on Germany's political situation is reflected in two points. The first point is the deterrence brought by its strong national strength and military strength, and the second point is the veto power it has in the federal parliament! Of course, this veto power is effective only if Bavaria and its allies use it together.

The imperial cabinet headed by Prime Minister Hallweg was retained during the war, so some government affairs issues were mainly controlled by the German Emperor. In the formulation of negotiation policies and the sharing of interests, the German Emperor, who has the name of the central government, obviously had more advantages, so it was natural for the German Emperor faction to propose it!

Well, what did the parliamentary faction gain? Naturally, it is absolute control in the imperial parliament. That is to say, they can reject the proposals proposed by the government or agree. Of course, after agreeing, the final effect depends on the game of the federal parliament, but in addition to Bavaria, the parliamentary faction can already reject more than 80% of the proposals!

Well, what is the political process after the compromise now? The German Emperor proposed a resolution, and then everyone put it in the Imperial Parliament to vote. If it is passed, then enter the Federal Parliament! The parliament cannot replace the government's power! So this distribution of interests can only be proposed by the German Emperor. Do you feel that it is of high position and power? Yes, it is true, but this is a matter where opportunities and challenges coexist!

If you come up with a proposal, it means that you will first reveal your point of view. Of course, before the proposal, the German Emperor will definitely negotiate and exchange interests with major power groups in Germany. It is normal to even make some secret agreements. However, when you finally come up with a proposal, why do you guarantee that those who were originally negotiated will support you in the Imperial Parliament or the Federal Parliament? This kind of betrayal is very common! After all, it is a secret agreement! Especially when there is huge profit! There is a saying that goes? It doesn’t matter if loyalty is, it’s just that the interests of betrayal are not high enough! No one can guarantee that the suggestion put forward by the parliamentary faction is not a trap!

If the German Emperor really proposes it and then the parliamentary faction will turn back! Then the situation will become the parliamentary faction and Bavaria confront the German Emperor! The situation will be reversed! Even if the Federal Parliament and the Imperial Parliament both propose a proposal of distrust against Prime Minister Holweg and the cabinet at the same time, then the imperial government power in the German Emperor will be lost! At that time, both Bavaria and parliamentary faction will be the winner, and the only loser is the German Emperor!

In fact, Grand Duke Baden is very close to Bavaria. This kind of closeness is not only because everyone is born as a top aristocrat, nor is it simply because everyone has the same or similar views on certain things. Of course, there are some reasons, but the most fundamental problem is that Bavaria does not seek rights in the central government!

Ruprecht would not be the prime minister of the empire. Other heavyweights in Bavaria have no foundation in Berlin. They do not have the conditions to establish a Southern German cabinet at present! Ruprecht also wisely expressed his opinion, so this is equivalent to telling everyone that in central power, Bavaria and anyone are not enemies! Well, for such a powerful faction, for such a Bavarian kingdom that knows how to advance and retreat, the Grand Duke of Baden thought, why should we emerge as the first person to touch the tiger's butt?
