2807 Ambition 3
Haha, I will always be your court chief. The old earl was still very pleased after hearing the Crown Prince’s words. After all, the Crown Prince at least did not forget him!
So I want to ease some relationship with the future prime minister? The crown prince asked.
You should do this, and it would be better to give certain help when necessary. The current royal family is no longer the previous royal family. We can trust and rely on too few people. If you don’t even trust your brother, then who else can you trust? His Majesty the Emperor also means this. The old earl said.
Well, what you said makes sense. I feel relieved. I hope my father is really as you said. I also hope my younger brother can recognize the situation. The crown prince said.
The future will prove that your choice is correct. The old Count bowed and said, of course, as a veteran of the political arena for decades, he did not think that the crown prince had listened to what he said today, but it finally eliminated some barriers, right? Some things need to be taken slowly and could not be anxious.
So what are we going to do now? The Black Winged Knights have been established. This is my own power in my hands. I want to make him grow and grow! I have prepared rewards for my knights, and they will also support them in all aspects. But this is far from enough. We must also make our own voices in the political arena of the empire and even around the world. We must let everyone know that a new political group has been born, and our voices will gain the support of the people! The crown prince said.
So how are you going to expand your reputation to the whole of Germany? The old Count asked.
I want to establish the superiority of Protestants in the Polish Governor's District, and they will enjoy many preferential conditions for employment benefits and education. I will build this place into a paradise for Protestants! Setting up a model in Germany, I want to bring those Polish converts to Orthodox Church back to the arms of Protestantism.
I want to safeguard the interests of all Germans. We are conquerors. We have won the war. All those who are willing to come to my command and serve me can get benefits from it. We want to build a community of interests and let those nobles, even those guys from the Prussian Federation, see who is safeguarding the interests of the nation! Prince William said excitedly.
Your Highness, there are some things you can do, but you must not say them! At this time, provoking religious confrontation and ethnic conflicts will lead to strong rebounds in all aspects. You are angry with the public! The old earl said in an unprecedentedly stern tone.
You can use your interests to win people's hearts, you can let Russian prisoners of war work for you for free, you can deal with those unowned objects or confiscated things, but it is absolutely impossible to provoke religious confrontations and ethnic conflicts, because all states face the national and religious belief issues of their local and new territories. Many of them hope to downplay this conflict and use a stable means to gradually fade away the other's resistance. If you destroy their plan, do you know how serious the consequences this will lead to? I have always said that this is a temporary solution and can solve temporary problems, but it cannot be used as a policy! The old Count was already considered to be a bittersweet at this time.
We always face religious and ethnic issues! This cannot be avoided. I always think that it is because we give the south too much privileges that led to today! Believe me, Marwitz, in Germany, Protestants still account for the majority! The prince's attitude is still stubborn.
However, most Protestants do not care about the gap in religious beliefs between them and Catholics. Prime Minister Bismarck spent decades to downplay this religious difference, just to unite all Germans and not use religious issues to influence politics. This bottom line is absolutely untouchable!
As for your hostility to Bavaria? I think it is understandable. In fact, the German Emperor sometimes thinks this way, but in the current situation, your hostility can only be bad. The reason is very simple. The most powerful force in the empire is Bavaria. Why do you have to be in trouble with the strongest? And this is because Bavaria did not express direct malicious intentions to Your Highness. Secondly, from the perspective of suppressing the Social Democratic Party, we are allies with Bavaria. It is precisely because of the existence of Bavaria that we can save half of Prussia, so your hostility is unnecessary and will be bad!
And if we look at it from the perspective of the country, I have to admit that Crown Prince Ruprecht is the most talented leader in the entire empire! He can handle relations with all parties well and can drive the development of the empire well. This is not only recognized by the people of Bavaria, but even most Germans agree with this. His foundation is proven by his own abilities and achievements for 30 years, which is a real achievement! No one can refute it, so his status is the most stable in the entire empire. Moreover, because he knows how to advance and retreat, he has very few truly irreconcilable enemies! He has strong and has no mortal enemies, and such an existence cannot be regarded as an enemy. The old earl said.
OK, okay, okay, what you said makes sense, but we can't do anything in vain, right? I can give in on some issues, but we must win the respect and support of some people! We must do something. The crown prince said.
We should not interfere too much in the internal affairs for the time being, but we can do some in diplomacy, such as the current issues with the United States and Turkey. The old Count thought about it and said.
What does it mean? The crown prince suddenly became interested.
Not long ago, I had exchanged some views with Prince Baden on some things. He revealed some things to me, such as the relationship between the United States and Virginia. He once said that in the entire German high-level, whether it is His Majesty the Emperor or Crown Prince Ruprecht, they all believed that the honeymoon period between the United States and Germany was about to end. When the Pacific War ended, the contradiction between the United States and Germany on issues such as the sphere of trade will gradually intensify. Some clues have actually been revealed now, but they are temporarily suppressed due to common interests. If we can do some articles on these issues, as long as it is not particularly intense, we can not only adapt to certain public opinion, but also not arouse disgust from the upper class. Our efforts are very small, but we can gain a lot of reputation. The old earl said.
