1145 Unexpected promise 1
Choosing a suitable ship for transformation is one aspect, and raising funds and materials is another aspect. Of course, the most important thing is the manpower problem. The money problem is not big. The German emperor has already asked the prince to intervene in the naval finance. The prince with status, power and strong prince is responsible for this project. Neither Tirpitz nor anyone can cause trouble for the prince. General Liaole has already considered surrendering. What about Tirpitz? The prince believes that it is possible that he will hold three positions in the navy if he is not commanding the Bavarian Legion. Money and materials can be raised quickly, but manpower is difficult. If three ships are on the board at the same time for transformation, it will require at least several thousand additional labor. These all need coordination.
"By the way, Ruprecht, we must not let the British know about our experiments and tactics. We must do a good job in confidentiality." At the dinner that day, the German Emperor emphasized again.
"That should be the matter between Tirpitz and General Lorle." The prince frowned.
"It's yours now. Anyway, you will command the fleet to fight in the Baltic Sea in the spring of the year, and you will also leave the port matters to you. Do it well, and the Bavarian Kingdom may not be able to go up to another level!" The German emperor stood up and said in front of all the senior naval leaders present and senior administrative officials including the German Prime Minister. As soon as this sentence was spoken, some people below immediately discussed it.
"Holding the grass, what's the situation?! How many of these words mean?! Why can't I understand it?!" Ruprecht was also a little surprised, and even said he was a little shocked! It's normal to have himself be responsible for the confidentiality work. It's nothing to take over the command of the Baltic region in the next year's battle, but in the last sentence, the Bavarian Kingdom can be taken to a higher level, but there are too many meanings in the sentence that the Bavarian Kingdom can be taken to the next level!
Of course, this is absolutely impossible to improve the status of the Bavarian Kingdom, and Prussia is above it. Bavaria is now called the second German, which is not a problem at all. Then this is going up to the next level, probably referring to other aspects, especially the territorial aspects.
"If your plan can go smoothly, then three companies will divide it up together in the issue of distribution of Poland! Prussia, Austria and Bavaria can all benefit from it!" said the German Emperor Dasheng.
"Your Majesty, you are a little." The current German Prime Minister Teobaden von Bateman Holvig, who was sitting next to the German Emperor, spoke out to persuade the German Emperor. However, the German Emperor's sharp eyes made the latter sit in his seat honestly.
"I am very sober! Extraordinary sober. I know more than ever what I should do! I talk about this matter very seriously. And the power of the monarch is unquestionable!" said the German Emperor loudly. "This war has made me understand a lot, and it has made me know who is a trustworthy friend, who is hiding behind us and who wants to get benefits, but wants to take the opportunity to usurp the rights that do not belong to them!"
The following words aroused more speculations, but the German Emperor did not continue to say it. After emphasizing that his decision was serious, the matter was revealed. However, in the minds of the German senior officials, they realized more from the decision of the German Emperor.
"Are you starting to be unstable now? It seems that war is never a matter of a simple army, nor is it a simple external factor." The prince seemed to realize something. But he didn't say much, but just welcomed the decision of the German Emperor and expressed that he would work hard to fulfill his duties and obligations.
However, among the Prussian high-ranking officials, this matter was not so easy to fade. After the dinner, Prime Minister Holwig, Prince Baden, Maxson von Baden, and the German Emperor's younger brother Prince Heinrich did not go to rest, but held a small meeting in the German Emperor's residence.
"Your Majesty, if you really agree that Bavaria has the right to share the new territory, then you should at least discuss it with us first. Such a decision makes the government very embarrassed. Today is Bavaria, so what about tomorrow? What should Saxony and Württemberg do? And now Bohemia and Moravia are under the control of the Vettelsbach family. Are you going to build a binary empire?"
Prime Minister Holvig said with an incredible expression. He really couldn't understand why the German Emperor made this decision. In his opinion, this might weaken Prussia's dominant position and threaten the safety of the empire. He didn't want to encounter something that was too big, or in his opinion, Bavaria is already a little too big!
"This, in fact, long before the war began, His Majesty the Emperor had agreed in principle to Bavaria's request to acquire additional territory in future wars. We are now just fulfilling this promise." Prince Heinrich explained.
"Before the war? Why haven't I heard of it? Was it the Prime Minister Biaoluo's period? But this must have been agreed privately, right? Or for some kind of compromise? And now, Your Majesty, once you speak, so many people are present, we really have no room for maneuver. There is really no more!"
Holvig kept shook his head. The German Emperor was not God, but the promised things generally had to be done, especially the status of the promised person was equally respected. Although there was no agreement, the status and political reputation of both parties determined that once it was made public, the possibility of repentance was very small. Unless the German Emperor had no power, the cost of repentance was too high!
"Holvig, you are my prime minister. You just give me advice and have no right to reject my decision. So, after I make the decision, I hope you can remain silent and do good things." The German emperor, who had not spoken, finally spoke. "But as the prime minister, I am still willing to explain to you the reason why I did this. In your opinion, the instability facing Germany after the future victory lies in the over-stout Bavaria, but in my opinion, the biggest crisis of the empire is the parliament! It is the capitalists! And those who shout to weaken the monarchy!"
"A long time ago, they wanted to promote a parliamentary government and set up a three-level parliament. Do you really think I don't know who the people who manipulate everything behind the behavior of the Social Democratic Party?! I know very well who they are! They have mastered the economic lifeline of Prussia and rely on the mouthpieces in the Imperial Parliament to obtain benefits. But they are still not satisfied. They believe that the highest power of the empire should be in their hands and that the government should be decided by capital."
