1797 Follow-up Response 2

"Also, I want to know, what is the result of our contact with the parliament? What is their bottom line? Can we accept it?" The German Emperor then changed the topic.

Don’t think that it is incredible to have contact between the royalists and the parliamentary factions at this time. Why did such a fierce conflict occur between the two sides? Isn’t it just for the benefit? In fact, the struggle between the German Emperor and the parliament began when William II ascended the throne. This time, the means were just a bit more intense.

In fact, both the parliamentary faction and the German Emperor are taking huge risks. If the parliamentary faction fails, then the German Emperor will definitely not be ruthless in liquidation this time. Maybe the entire Social Democratic Party will be listed as an illegal party, and no one in the head will be able to escape. And if the German Emperor fails, then the emperor will stay away from power and act as a rubber stamp from now on. That's right, it is to stay away from power. So far, the parliamentary faction has not planned to really drive the German Emperor off the throne. All they want is power!

So, both sides felt that they could talk. As for the middlemen, they had also found one week after the Berlin incident, the two sides began to contact each other, and then the negotiations continued until now.

"It's not going well. We agreed to abolish the hierarchical parliamentary system, but their asking price is not only to abolish the hierarchical parliamentary system, but also to make the Prime Minister responsible for the parliament rather than like a monarch, and to demand that the emperor not dissolve the parliament at will. And they also bite very tightly in the management of Prussia," said Prince Max.

"Does the parliamentary faction still recognize the situation? Even if I lose, even if I lose my power, I am still the emperor, and I still have great influence in the empire. And what about Albert? If they lose, they will go to the gallows!" The German emperor roared angrily.

"Yes, because if they lose, they will be retaliated against if they lose their rights, so they are so nervous about rights. In their opinion, an agreement reached after a compromise cannot guarantee their safety, so they want to solve the problem once and for all." Prince Max said.

"Then we can drag on it. As long as the British and French offensive ends, my third army can free up his hands. Even if only one-fifth of the people are willing to follow us, then we and Marshal Moltke can easily kill the parliamentary faction. Even if the other army commanders do not support us, they will never stop it." The crown prince said hatefully.

"You mean to delay?" the German Emperor asked back.

"Yes, if we delay, we are no longer worried that there will be problems in the front line. The army in our hands is definitely stronger than the parliamentary faction. Our people are veterans of war, and the parliamentary faction will not be able to increase its military strength in a short period of time. And there is General Markensen. If his troops can come back, we can easily send Albert and others to the gallows!" said the prince.

Therefore, after a small circle of discussion, the German Emperor made two decisions. The first was naturally to denounce the Poles' actions and give the Bavarian Legion the authorization to operate in Silesia. At the same time, it was stated that the German Empire would not give the Poles the right to establish states! The second thing was to continue to drag on it and wait until the Western Front completely restored to normal before talking about something else.

At this time, in Berlin, all the senior leaders of the parliamentary group, including Albert, finally breathed a sigh of relief. This was not just because a confidant had been dealt with by the Bavarian army. (In fact, the two sides had not yet fought at this time, but based on the previous combat effectiveness of the Bavarian Legion, this Polish army was already dead.)

More importantly, Albert and others believe that Bavaria is showing goodwill to the parliament?

"I really didn't expect that the Bavarian army would directly help us kill the Poles. I had imagined at least three ways to stop the Poles from advancing, but now we have achieved this goal without consuming one soldier, one bullet and one bullet. It seems that Crown Prince Ruprecht's dissatisfaction with the German emperor has surpassed the boundaries between classes." Albert said excitedly at the meeting.

"Can we think that now, the Bavarian Legion is at least half of our ally? If so, I hope we can establish a direct connection with Crown Prince Ruprecht, and any issues can be discussed except the Prussian regime," said Hasai, a centrist in the Social Democratic Party.

In fact, the bottom line of the Social Democratic Party is far less high than they claim. The reform of the Imperial Parliament is actually negotiable because the aristocrats have very little influence on party politics. However, internal rights in Prussia must be fought for. Of course, this is also the fundamental reason why the parliamentary factions and the German Emperor are irreconcilable.

"If it is a new territorial issue, our bottom line is to ensure that the agreement reached between the German Emperor and Bavaria can be fulfilled and there can be slight changes, but the general direction cannot be changed." Landsberg said after thinking for a while.

"This is OK." Albert nodded as the boss. The cake obtained on the Eastern Front this time was so huge that it could completely change the balance of power between Prussia and Bavaria. Therefore, on this issue, Albert and others would never let too much water. Of course, this issue must be flexibly grasped, and some places can be considered. After all, it takes military expenses to use the army!

"Although the actions of Crown Prince Ruprecht helped us strategically, I think the key between us is definitely not an allies but an enemy! He grasped what the people wanted very well! Interests and fairness! However, this kind of interest and fairness was obtained under the leadership of the king. He was telling the people that the king of Bavaria could give them these without expecting parliament and political parties. We have lost the greatest propaganda advantage." Shederman, who was standing beside him, finally couldn't help but say.

"Do you understand what I mean? In fact, who are the people who really support us? Who is the power we really rely on? You should know better than me. Without the large amount of funds and other support from factory owners and bankers, we will definitely not be today. The returns we give them are also to facilitate their wealth. Now, the crown prince has put forward a new view that the state will exist as an arbiter of income and interest distribution, and they will compensate the capitalists' excess funds to civilians through taxes or other means, and this will inevitably harm the interests of the financial owners behind us."
