2351 Ambition 2

"This is indeed an important reason, but there are other more important reasons." Ruprecht said: "The outbreak of war always has deep reasons. In addition to the various contradictions between us and the Allies, the most important internal reason is the high-level leaders of the empire, whether they are officers, nobles or bourgeoisie, who want to fight! The merchants of the empire need to use the sword of the empire to open up the market and obtain raw materials. Factory owners can obtain higher profits with the help of war, and Juncker landlords can obtain more land. The officers can use the help of war to become officials. Are you right? War gives most classes of the empire a way to rise, but there must be a prerequisite, that is, we will win, and we will win in a short time."

"Although Rudendolf's talent is limited, one of his views is correct, that is, the future war is a total war, and it is necessary to gather the strength of a country, relying on strong national will and great sacrifices of the people to win. But unfortunately, both soldiers and bourgeoisie, they only regard war as a means of profit, and are not unwilling to pay too much. At least that's the case with Prussia, right? In my opinion, Prussia is not really ready to deal with long-term total war in terms of material preparation, mobilization mechanism, and strategy and tactics!" said Ruprecht.

"This may be because the General Staff was a little unconsidered when formulating the plan, right?" Pinov said embarrassingly. He might believe this to outsiders, but this statement among the top leaders of the German Legion is not valid at all. Not to mention anything else, Ruprecht reminded the German Emperor and the German General Staff many times that this war will last for a long time and is a comprehensive competition from national strength to national spirit.

Think about it, with Ruprecht's status and military talent, how could his words be ignored by the German top leaders without special reasons? Even though the German military believes that quick battles are beneficial, then as a backup plan for the plan to fail, Prussia should be as prepared as possible as Bavaria, but judging from the situation of the war, Prussia's preparations are far less than Bavaria's!

"Long-term war preparations require a lot of funds to hoard materials, so good, where does this money come from? Only taxes can be increased, and a considerable part of these taxes will fall on the Junker nobles and the bourgeoisie. They do not want to pay too much for the war. Look at the British. During the war, the aristocratic landlords needed more than 80% of the income, and how much do we only? Look at the production efficiency of Rheinmetallurgical and Krupp, and then look at the production efficiency of the Bavarian Southern Industrial Group. If we look at the scale of the industrial and production capacity ratio, Prussia's efficiency is not as good as Britain and France. Why is this? Do you have no idea about it?" Crown Prince Ruprecht's words contained anger!

In fact, in history, Germany was not only inefficient in the second battle, but although the efficiency in the first battle was higher than that in the second battle, it was also relatively low. In this plane, Prussia's efficiency has been improved, but the effect is average. The most fundamental reason why Germany can quickly win the Allies is that the United States tends to Germany and the emergence of the Bavarian Legion, which are all the credits of Ruprecht.

"It's a bit harsh. A considerable number of nobles and capitalists want to gain benefits from the rise of the empire, but they are stingy with giving! They just want to take advantage of the advantage and do not want to assume obligations. Therefore, the empire's war always emphasizes quick battles and quick decisions, so the empire's military preparations are not sufficient. Therefore, we must pull a bunch of pig teammates to win the war! This problem cannot be solved when Prime Minister Bismarck was in power, and now, I cannot completely solve it! To be honest, my patience with some people has reached the limit!" The crown prince's anger made Crook and others feel a little trembling.

"The German Empire rose too fast. Look at the former leaders of this world. The Spanish Empire began to dominate the world since the Battle of Lebanto, and the French's glory can be traced back to the era of the Sun King, while the British dominated the sea by defeating the Invincible Armada. They have been a unified country for hundreds of years, while the German Empire is not. For hundreds of years, we have always been a mess, strong but not united, and have serious egoism from top to bottom. I am solving this problem, but I still have a long way to go." Ruprecht said after eased the atmosphere.

"Although the problem cannot be completely solved in one go, then you should have your own solution, right? If we need our help in the future, we will do our best." Crook said. At this moment, Admiral Crook was at least sincere, because as a relatively upright officer, he was also very annoyed by the problems of the top leaders of the German Empire, but he had never been able to solve it. But now he has the opportunity to go into politics (the crown prince can help them establish their own political party.) Then he naturally wants to realize his ambitions in politics.

"It's very simple. The first principle of my rule is that all classes of society have their own channels of rise, and they can gain benefits from the development and victory of the kingdom. Only when all classes can profit a country can the stability and development of the country be guaranteed and the entire society will not be separated."

"Bavaria is a positive example. My country is very lucky that the aristocratic class did not have much power in the empire. The beginning of Bavaria was mainly based on industry and agriculture, and the bourgeoisie was not very strong. Therefore, my policies can be implemented efficiently from top to bottom. The development of capitalists and aristocrats has received state support, but to a certain extent, the empire will leave enough room for the civilian class in society. They can improve themselves by receiving universal education and then join the top social levels. They can join the army and then improve with their military merits. Because there is no resistance from the aristocratic officer group, the ceiling of their promotion will be very high. The state controls the lifeline of the economy and can efficiently regulate the economy, thereby avoiding the chaos of production."

"All classes of the country have gained benefits from the development of the kingdom. Even the lower class, as long as they work hard and have a certain ability, can get a good life. So the Kingdom of Bavaria can go to this day and get such rich rewards, and this reward will promote the better development of all classes! Bavaria has formed a huge and cohesive middle class. They are rich, knowledgeable and care about the country because they have gained benefits from the development of the country. These people are truly together with the country because they have developed with this country!" said the crown prince.
