Chapter 2329 Dispute 4
Of course, although you have this ability, it does not mean that Ruprecht will do this, because you can't do it. There are some things that you can do in the first grade of junior high school and others can do in the fifteenth grade. Who can guarantee that you will not make any mistakes in your own words? So everyone will form a tacit understanding, and under normal circumstances, they will not pursue it.
Of course, it is Ruprecht's business to pursue or not, but he must let Hasai understand that he has the ability to pursue. Not pursuing it is just giving you a chance. Be careful in the future. Well, that's it! A simple and crude personal threat! But it works for people like Hasai! Because Grand Duke Baden will not lose his position as a Grand Duke because of such a sentence, but Hasai may resign and cut off his power!
"Mr. Hasai's words are indeed inappropriate, but he has no intention of slandering the allies." At this time, Grand Duke Baden must come out and make a comeback. After all, it is impossible for his allies to step down after a few minutes of negotiations. How can we talk about this later?
"However, your meaning is the same. Old Prussia dominates the distribution of interests on the Western Front. Bavaria gives some symbolically. If the Austro-Hungarian Empire can't give it, you have also thought of a reason. Everything is for the German Empire? Is that true?" Ruprecht no longer cared about Hasai's words. After all, it's meaningless. Just do it when you really need to mess with him. Why do you want to waste so many words? The question in front of you is the most critical!
"Although it's very unpleasant, as the top leaders of the German Empire, we do want to gain more benefits for the empire. Even though we are morally indebted, we are willing to bear this pressure." Grand Duke Baden said it very bluntly. After all, there are smart people on the other side, and twists and turns can only increase the other party's disgust. "Of course, we have not ruled out Bavaria's plans. Your country's efforts and sacrifices should be rewarded with a lot!"
The Grand Duke of Baden immediately adjusted the policy and proposed to ensure the share of Bavaria and compress the share of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. This practice is definitely unfair, but it is absolutely politically correct! After all, as a German, who doesn’t want to get more? Does the Crown Prince of Bavaria have to give the Germans’ things to Austro-Hungarian? From the German standpoint, there is nothing wrong with this! Under the righteousness of political correctness, Ruprecht said the so-called fairness and justice without any meaning. After all, the butt determines the head!
"Let me talk about the colonial issue first. I can convince the Austro-Hungarian Empire not to seek British colonies in Africa. But one thing must be explained is that the Austro-Hungarian Empire enjoys equal commercial treatment with Germany in all empire African colonies, right?" Ruprecht said the first requirement!
After the Austro-Hungarian Empire expanded significantly, the German nation, which was originally not high, would be further diluted by the huge population. Even with the Bohemians and Hungarians who have surrendered now, the Austro-Hungarian Empire will still face more serious ethnic problems in the future. Moreover, the industry and national strength of the Austro-Hungarian Empire are far from comparable to that of the German Empire. Before, there was no experience in colonial management. Therefore, if the Austro-Hungarian Empire took over a colony at this time, it would not be a benefit, but a burden! The crown prince's expectations for the Austro-Hungarian Empire are very realistic. It would be enough to manage the territory of Europe. Other places are really out of reach now.
"Is there an equal business opportunity?" Hasai frowned and subconsciously wanted to object. However, the Grand Duke Baden on the opposite side was indifferent, as if he did not object to this opinion. Thinking about the threat from the crown prince just now, Hasai did not express his objection. At this moment, when neither of them opposed it, then he would be considered as accusation.
"As for the issue of fund allocation that everyone values very much, I can listen to your views first." Ruprecht said.
"In addition to withdrawing as treasury reserves at a certain proportion, most of the others are distributed according to the following proportions: Old Prussia is divided into 65%, Bavaria is divided into 15%, other states are divided into 15%, and the remaining 5% is given to the Austro-Hungarian Empire." After hesitating for a moment, Grand Duke Baden spoke out the final distribution plan for the German Emperor and the parliamentary faction. The so-called old Prussia is naturally just the German Emperor and the parliamentary faction, and they took away the vast majority.
Do you want to say this fair? If you look at the Western Front simply, this is OK. Old Prussia did bear most of the pressure, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it accounts for 70% of the Western Front's troops. But let alone the final decision of the Bavarian Legion and the contribution of stabilizing the front during the civil unrest in Germany, simply speaking of the entire war, it is not just one Western Front!
In the entire battlefield, the Bavarian Legion and Bohemia under Ruprecht's command reached 1.1 million troops at its peak! If we count the Air Force and some rear second-line personnel, the Crown Prince's corps have more than 1.4 million people! You should know that Bavaria and Bohemia have only a population of more than 20 million! If we only talk about the population ratio, it has exceeded the mobilization limit of Prussia! It is a full plan. At the peak of the war, the old Prussian troops were only about 2.6 million. After all, there are legions from other countries.
In fact, after the end of the Eastern Front War, Bavaria and Austria, as the main body, could not get any compensation. The reason is very simple. Now Russia is still a mess, and the compensation cannot be implemented at all. It is not an exaggeration to say that the Eastern Front territories of Prussia and other states were fought by Bavaria and Austro-Hungary. So why can't the compensation be distributed on the Eastern Front, the Balkan Front and the legions fighting on Türkiye be distributed?
"Is this your final opinion?" Ruprecht asked.
"It shouldn't be much change." Looking at the crown prince with a gloomy face, Hasai felt his heart as if he was tightly held.
"Then you can try whether this proposal can pass the review of the Federal Parliament." Ruprecht said coldly. Thanks to the German Empire for the voting method that the absolute majority was passed. Although the votes from Bavaria were not enough, after attracting relevant allies, the Crown Prince could do it in the Federal Parliament, whether it was a quarter or a third of the veto votes. This behavior has been considered overturning the table. Tell the German Emperor and the parliamentary faction clearly that if you propose a proposal, then we will oppose it!
"Your Highness, you set a very bad precedent. You once said that we cannot object because of opposition. Now, what you do is exactly what you disliked the most at the beginning!" Grand Duke Baden said anxiously, because, now, the worst situation expected before has occurred - Bavaria will use its veto power! From a legal perspective, if Bavaria does not agree, then this bill cannot be passed at all.
