The Rise of the Empire

Chapter 2363: Enemy and Friend II



"After the end of the war, both Bavaria and other states needed a stable environment to digest the gains from the war. Therefore, Bavaria did not have much interest in the current central government. I have always believed that under the premise of not interfering in Bavaria’s internal affairs It’s easier for the two parties to reach a compromise than the three, but the result disappointed me. You took the kingdom’s kindness as weakness. We took a step back, but you had to take ten steps. This made me very angry and disappointed. You and Those who only know how to fight in the nest make no difference. So, I must teach you a lesson and let some people disappear from politics forever. After all, sometimes force is more effective than persuasion." Ruprecht said.

"However, the Kaiser was also involved in this matter." Hassai whispered.

"If there is no problem with my intelligence channel, this is the first thing you communicated with the Kaiser. Am I right? You are the initiators, and the key is that you are the weakest. So this is another truth in this world. , Weakness is the original sin, and if you are behind you will be beaten!" The crown prince replied very simply and neatly.

"Well, you are at an advantage, you have the final say." Hassai said depressed.

"I thought you wanted to thank me?" the crown prince said.

"Thank you? You are now treating us in the way of dealing with the defeated, why should we thank you?" Hassai said dissatisfied.

"It's very simple. I just said that some people should completely disappear from the political arena, and there will naturally be someone in the Social Democratic Party who wants to replace it. Think about it, including the earliest Shedeman, if Albert resigns this time If Buhler is neutral, then within the Social Democratic Party, is the neutral or the right-wing dominant?" Ruprecht said with interest.

"You choose to cooperate with us? Ha ha, I feel that you are more skilled in the field of political conspiracy than us." There was a faint sarcasm in Hase's words.

"At present, it is you, but if you refuse, then other people can also choose. For example, the left of the Social Democratic Party, other parties are all possible." Ruprecht shut Hasai in a word. It is true that the Social Democratic Left has more radical factions like the Spartacus regiment, but there are also more moderate ones. Moreover, during this time of civil strife, the Social Democratic centrist and right wing did not thoroughly purge the left as they did in history, because it could not be done. After all, historically it was the repression carried out by the centrist and the Yuan right united army, and this dimension is much worse. The so-called cleansing is not to eliminate, but to make the other party lose his rights. Therefore, people are still there, so long as there is external support, it can be pulled up.

"Okay, it seems that you think it will be better to cooperate with me. Our views have gone a step further, so good. Let me talk about the third point. This is also one of the principles that we need to follow in future cooperation. First, we must avoid populism. We must support projects or things that may cause people to resent or lose money in the short-term, but may bring great benefits to the empire in the long-term, and we must continue firmly. Success requires suppressing one's own desires in many aspects, and there is a price to pay, and the same is true for a country. Material, money loss and public opposition are all the price we need to pay, but we must persist." Ruprecht said.

This is what the crown prince said is the importance of the will of the country. Some things need to be resolved resolutely. For example, in history, TG did two bombs and one star. With the development of science and technology, the more sophisticated technology needs to pay more, for example, the American emperor who engaged in the Manhattan Project in World War II. In order to ensure the smooth progress of the project, Americans even have to transfer electricity from across the country. Silver was even used when copper wires were not enough for wires. (Silver is more conductive!) This kind of project will bring huge pressure on people's livelihood, but you can't do it. If a party can give up these for the sake of votes, then the crown prince will never allow it. Some projects cannot be done by the Bavarian family, and need to unite the power of the entire German Empire. Therefore, the crown prince must now find a reliable collaborator.

Finding the emperor is not good, because the emperor Prussia itself is stronger than the parliamentary faction. According to the principle that the boss and the second child are naturally hostile and the boss and the third are friends, the emperor has the ambition and idea to restore the old Prussia, and the parliamentary faction It is estimated that it would be good to be able to fix a state. In this case, in the future, you can naturally only cooperate with the weakest parliamentary faction, and it is impossible to cooperate with the Kaiser, who is ready to restore the imperial power. Otherwise, once old Prussia has risen, and Ruprecht is really not optimistic that this guy can govern the new empire as far as the Kaiser's ability is concerned! That being the case, the crown prince would rather take control of the empire with his allies, and let William II honestly be a named emperor and king of Prussia.

"In fact, there is another very important reason why you choose to cooperate with us. If you are not satisfied with us, you can replace us with others. And William II is at least the king of Prussia. He has been a king all his life. My son is worse than him! So once you have a disagreement ~www.novelhall.com~ it may be more troublesome to deal with." Hassai said coldly.

"Yes, you are right. This is also considered an advantage of party politics. Party incumbents are back when things are not good. It is not difficult to change individuals, and it can quickly calm down after going up. The anger of public opinion." Ruprech nodded and said: "So, I hope we can cooperate happily in the future, and I hope you can hold your position well."

"Hehe." Hassai snorted dissatisfiedly.

"Well, we may be collaborators in the future, so since it is a cooperation, the two sides must be mutually beneficial, and in order to show the sincerity of the Kingdom of Bavaria, as long as you do not hinder, we can help you completely solve the problem of retired troops. Before this year, we can help you solve at least 250,000 to 300,000 retired officers and soldiers. This will not only solve the problem of parliamentary stability in Prussia, but it is also your political achievement, which proves that you are indeed more suitable for governing this country than Albert. "The crown prince said with a smile.

Does this condition look familiar? That's right, it was the condition that Ruprecht gave Crooke and others back then, but this time the crown prince took it out again and threw it directly to Hasai without packaging... And the other party must also appreciate it! This operation is absolutely no problem. The reason is very simple. Whether for Crook or Hassy, ​​the placement of military personnel is a very difficult issue.
