The Rise of the Empire

Chapter 609: Soft knife two



In this case, in order to preserve the rights in hand, no matter how harsh conditions are acceptable! For example, the Kaiser may propose that Bavaria gain greater independence and the share of territorial interests after the war. The capitalists or the Social Democrats can even propose to abolish the title of Kaiser, and even allow Bavaria and Austria to merge is completely possible! Of course, no matter who it is, Bavaria will definitely benefit from the sharing of interests after the war.

"Are you going to wait for the price and change the balance of power within Germany? Which side do you plan to stand on? The Kaiser or the Parliament?" Countess Laura thought for a while and said.

"The German Empire should continue. Some provinces or free cities can be completely parliamentary, but the entire country cannot be turned into a republic. This is not in line with our interests. Although the Kingdom of Prussia is to be weakened, it still needs to exist." Ruprecht thought for a while and said.

"Do you want to dismember Prussia?" A thought suddenly popped out of Laura's head that shocked and terrified him! Prussia emerged after 1840 and has now become the main body of the world's second industrial power. In the eyes of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the power of this small country is terrifying! And the prince in front of him wanted to complete a task that the Austro-Hungarian Empire could not complete!

"This is the only option. The Kingdom of Bavaria was unable to complete a qualitative change in World War I. Even with Austria’s support, it would be difficult for us to fight against the mighty Prussia. Even in order to guarantee our own status, Württemberg, Saxony and the Grand Duchy of Baden. Local forces will stand on the side of Prussia instead. There is no room for two tigers. As long as Prussia is there, the merger of Bavaria and Austria is impossible. Even if the descendants of Mary and I cannot have two crowns at the same time, Prussia must be weakened!" Hitt said in his heart.

The political struggle is a life-and-death struggle. Now the prince is a bit cruel against Prussia, but once Germany wins, Prussia will be absolutely merciless. After all, if Princess Mary becomes Queen Mary, plus In Bavaria, Prussia will face great pressure within the German system. Even if the prince agrees to his descendants to inherit the two kingdoms, Prussia will still not be at ease. In this case, then everyone will do their best!

Of course, Prussia can't really be finished. Boiling this thing will spread, and Austria will not be able to integrate into the Greater German system in a short time. Even the weakened Prussia will not agree to this, because this It means that the original status of the two parties is completely reversed! If the Hohenzollern family is completely finished, then the entire Prussia will be reintegrated into a republican government. This is a lesson learned. For example, the Prussian Free State in history is actually a government in Prussia! The combat effectiveness of this government is still very strong, as can be seen in the speed of the destruction of the red regime in Bavaria.

Therefore, the meaning of the existence of the Prussian royal family is to avoid the establishment of the Prussian Freedom Gang in later generations! What Ruprecht wants is not a change of government for Prussia, nor a mere promise of benefits. What he wants is a collapsed Prussia. Only in this way can Bavaria have more benefits in the future distribution of benefits. If Prussia is divided into Almost equal two yuan, or a few yuan, then whether it is a republican or a royalist state, if they want to obtain greater benefits, they must win over Bavaria to overwhelm potential opponents.

Perhaps after the war, Bavaria may become the third largest state. But generally speaking, the first and second births are enemies. The two new states divided by Prussia have feuds from the beginning, and if they want to win the support of the parliament, they will be the second only to them. Bavaria is essential. And if nothing else, Bavaria can stay on both sides until Austria's conditions are ripe to form a new German Empire! At that time, the Kingdom of Bavaria and Austria will become the main force of the entire German Empire!

Of course, it is still early to say these things. Although the prince trusts Earl Laura, he will not tell her some real core secrets and steps. After all, there is a specialization in Shuye, what she does has nothing to do with these things, it is better not to know.

As for when this event will be launched, there is also a general plan. At least after the Eastern Front is over, and then the problem of the Austro-Hungarian Empire is resolved, it will not be launched until it is too early or too late. It is too early. Can't come up with enough troops to assess the internal turmoil, and before the Prussia is settled, the prince must first let the dust of the Austria-Hungary Empire settle, and can pull part of the Austrian troops in order to ensure the absolute advantage over both Prussia. Not to mention the combat effectiveness, hundreds of thousands of people can still scare people!

If the time is late, it won’t work~www.novelhall.com~Russia hasn’t done it. His Royal Highness naturally has an excuse to stay on the Eastern Front and not go to the Western Front. There is civil strife in the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and Ruprecht also has an excuse not to go to the Western Front. Stabilizing the rear and ensuring that Austria-Hungary can remain within the Allied Powers is an overriding task. The Austrian-Hungarian industry is still considerable, and it is also an important channel for Germany to obtain materials from Turkey. But if these two things are done and nothing happens inside Prussia, then there is no reason to continue to delay...

And if Ruprecht’s troops arrive on the Western Front, once the troops are united, then the Prussian General Staff will have complete control. When the time comes, it will deal with whoever is said to be dealt with. The prince has no chance in theory or in practice! Therefore, the internal issues of the Austro-Hungarian Empire must be resolved, and the Prussian parliament must be launched before the troops reach the western front! Only in this way can the prince break out of the circle and decide the fate of both parties!

But the question is will the other party cooperate with Ruprecht's schedule? After careful consideration, the prince thought that as long as certain parties in the parliament did not want to lose and wanted to make trouble, they would definitely cooperate! First of all, according to the historical process, Germany will not experience internal instability at the very beginning, and it will only appear after a certain degree of consumption. And if they want to launch a coup, they naturally have to consider the attitude of the Eastern Front Army commanded by the prince. For them, it is the best situation without external intervention, so they will definitely not be able to get in the prince’s army. Start a coup when you are born!
