The Rise of the Empire

Chapter 2350: Ambition one



In fact, the power of the central government has been greatly weakened, and all states are responsible for local administration. And the army is also owned by the states, and these countries have to pay for it, so naturally there cannot be too much of it. In fact, the central government’s fiscal expenditure is mainly to feed the navy, parliament and cabinet departments, and manage some projects and plans of interstate countries. Of course, the latter part of the cost is also paid by the state. Therefore, the financial expenditure of the center is not large, just give some money.

"His Royal Highness, if you simply speak from the contributions and gains of the war, I very much agree with your distribution plan. The contributions made by the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the Kingdom of Bavaria are very huge, and it is normal to divide it into one third. As for the states I don’t say much about the funds handed over to the central government. After all, this is not my authority, but I would like to ask, what is your attitude towards the future imperial government? As a veteran who has experienced the establishment of Germany, I suddenly discovered that, Decades later, the whole of Germany was restored to its pre-unification situation. There were many states and the central government was weak. Huge internal friction affected the advancement of the empire. Before us, there was a kingdom called Prussia as the core. This core is also over. In the entire German region, the most powerful is your Bavaria and the future Austro-Hungarian Empire." Crook said with a sigh.

In fact, Crook has some recognition of reality. After all, from the perspective of distribution alone, Ruprecht’s distribution ratio is indeed very reasonable. It can even be said that the old Prussian contribution in the war was less than half. After all, although Prussia is the largest state, its population and area are less than 70% of the empire, and the contribution of the war is less than 70% even within the empire. After all, the Bavarian Army has emerged. Therefore, the distribution of compensation has been somewhat inclined to Old Prussia. As for the division between the Kaiser and the parliament, that is their business, and the crown prince does not intend to intervene.

However, as a member of the Prussian-Austro-Prussian War, and later in the Franco-Prussian War, Krouk, who saw the German Empire established in a **** storm, is now stronger, with more than 1.5 million square kilometers. Land and hundreds of millions of people! In the entire European modern and modern history, there has never been such a powerful country! But when he looked at the vast territory of the empire, Crook had deep worries besides happiness. This huge empire and the equally huge ally in the south, they lack a true core of strength! In fact, whether it is any country or alliance, if it lacks a strong enough core, then this alliance will not grow! Internal friction and different behaviors will be the root cause of killing this powerful country!

Even in Crook's view, whether it is North Germany or South Germany, whether the core of power is the original Prussia or the newly emerging Bavaria. It's all right! As long as this core is really for the empire, and the German empire that has developed into a confederation can be twisted into a rope! Even if the crown prince Ruprecht in front of him has the courage and responsibility, then Crook can even mobilize his own power to support the crown prince to settle in Berlin! Be the Prime Minister of the Empire!

Although the current Prime Minister of the Empire is Holweger recommended by the Kaiser, and although there is also the support of Kaiser Prussia, it is a pity that Crook has no respect for the political wisdom of the Kaiser and his allies. He doesn't think Holweger can govern this country well!

"Remember what Prime Minister Bismarck said? Germany has never been a national concept, but a national concept. Even though the people of all German states speak the same language, the most important thing in their hearts is themselves Instead of the country, they can attack neighbors who speak the same language without any psychological burden. This is the basic situation in Germany, and he thinks it is the sorrow of the empire." Ruprecht said with a sigh. Of course, for him, this is also lucky for him and Bavaria.

"Complexity and variability have led to the long-term weakness of the empire. Even after the establishment of the empire, this situation still leaves the empire in a state of division, but this characteristic also increases the variables. The center has limited capabilities and is not enough to control. In this empire, some variables can make up for the lack of the center. Believe me, my efforts for the empire are not only to build a strong Bavaria, to defeat Russia on the Eastern Front, and to finalize the role of the Western Front. These achievements It is remarkable that the empire has gained an unexpected advantage in this war that determines the nation's fortune." Ruprecht said calmly.

"Yes, Bavaria before 1890 and Bavaria afterwards are completely two concepts. Even Marshal Xiao Moqi said that without the sudden emergence of the Bavarian Army, it would take at least 4 to 5 years for the Empire to win. We Saved hundreds of billions of marks and saved more than 7-figure lives." Crook nodded and said.

"But it's a pity that even though my kingdom and I have made great efforts, there are still too many problems in the German Empire. With the prime minister Bismarck's talent, he only completed the unification of the German Empire and made the empire become The world’s second largest industrial country ~www.novelhall.com~The deep-seated contradictions and problems within the empire have not been fundamentally resolved. I say here that deep-seated contradictions are not only about state politics but also other factors." Hit sighed.

"Listen well," Admiral House said.

"You are all soldiers. You have served in the imperial army for decades. So good. Let's start with this war. When Marshal Maoqi made a raid plan against France, he made it completely in accordance with the core of quick battle and quick resolution. According to the original plan, the battle on the Western Front should be resolved within six weeks, and the plan we subsequently implemented on the battlefield is just a backup plan. You should be very clear about this, right?” Ruprecht said after taking a look at Crook : "Do you know the reason?"

"The empire was on two fronts at the time, and the prolonged war of attrition was very unfavorable for the empire. This is also the experience and lessons learned by Prussia in previous wars. After all, our land area is limited and we are in a closed central Europe. , There is no reliable material supply channel." Pinov said.

"According to past war experience, for a country like Prussia, a quick victory can bring benefits to the country. After a long period of war, even if we win, the price we pay is still huge, and it is a victory that is not worth the loss. "Admiral Crook added.
