1852 In Berlin 1

Therefore, the high-level struggles within Prussia and the indifference of the kingdom regime by the middle and lower-level groups led to the fact that when the two sides of the empire were in a deadlock, both the German Emperor and the parliamentary faction may use splitting the country as a solution because they both want independent and complete local governments. This matter is not decided by a leader. The nobles support the German Emperor because the German Emperor can allow them to enjoy their past lives and privileges. This requires the German Emperor to rely on complete rights. By the same token, capitalists support the parliamentary faction to facilitate themselves, and this also requires complete local governments to support it.

Well, when both sides cannot completely suppress their opponents, the supporters behind them are likely to accept the split plan. As for ordinary people, if they can persist, there may be some rescue. However, in the war period and the relatively scarcity of materials, coupled with their own disregard for politics, they may eventually remain indifferent. So, when the negotiations begin, the seeds of split have been planted.

Maybe some people have realized this. Maybe some people still want to fight for the absolute advantage of Prussia, but unfortunately, these people may have strong rights, but in the turbulent tide in Prussia, their actions will not have a fundamental impact on the outcome of things.

At this time, Earl Schelling's delegation had also arrived in Berlin. Albert and others were still very serious about the first official mission of the Kingdom of Bavaria. Although they knew that a few days ago, Prince Leopold went to Brussels in person. Although Earl Schelling was of high authority in the Kingdom of Bavaria, it was still far from the prince. However, Albert and others knew very well that this time was the first official contact between the Social Democratic Party and Bavaria, and it might be the only opportunity to contact!

Before receiving Earl Schelling, the main leaders of the Social Democratic Party's right-wing and the Social Democratic Party's left-wing headed by Albert also sat together to discuss the main content of the meeting.

"Why didn't Mr. Shederman come?" When the three central members of the Social Democratic Party, led by Hasai, came to the conference room, they saw Albert sitting in the chair, Bühler, who was in charge of military affairs, and the third one was Landsberg, the right-wing leader of the Social Democratic Party. However, Shederman, who was originally the second-in-commander of the Social Democratic Party, did not attend the meeting.

"Mr. Shederman is in good health, so he is unable to handle political affairs for the time being. Let's start preparing for a meeting. We are very nervous now and the pressure is also very high." Albert said a little haggard. This haggard seems to be not just a huge pressure, but also some other reasons.

The other two centrists, Dietman and Barth, did not notice it, but Hasai was keenly aware that something had changed. It was not just Albert's reaction today. More importantly, Hasai discovered that Albert's wording was problematic. If Shedman had only a minor illness or was unable to attend the meeting for some reason, then it would be unnecessary to say that he could not handle government affairs, right?

As a politician who has been through the battlefield, Hasai understands this sentence basically tells himself that he doesn’t have to consider Shelderman’s opinions in the future. So, why did Albert exclude Shelderman from the core level? To say that Shelderman is sick? Hasai really doesn’t believe it. After all, the two met two days ago. The other party was in good health at that time. Power struggle? Although everyone is an expert in infighting, it is impossible under the current situation. I can’t understand it, I can’t understand it!

"Okay, there will be two aspects to convene this time. First, the senior executives of the German Western Front Army sent a secret telegram, suggesting that we accept the negotiation requirements. At the same time, they emphasized that the German Emperor's title must be retained. On the issue of German Emperor's rights, they did not explain in detail, but expressed that they did not accept the British constitutional monarchy system. Judging from this telegram, the military's attitude has softened, but it still tends to the German Emperor."

"The second thing is that the representatives of the Kingdom of Bavaria came here. They invited us to attend the Austro-Hungarian crown prince enthronement ceremony, and secretly negotiated with us." Albert said.

"Who is the Austrian Emperor going to make the crown prince?" Hasai said with a frown. He felt that this was too sudden. The Social Democratic Party has also been paying attention to the political trends of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, especially the crown prince. After all, this will affect the relationship between Germany and Austria in the next few decades. However, until the parliament launched a coup, they did not know who the Austrian Emperor would choose to be the emperor in the future, because there is really no suitable one among the core members of the Habsburg family.

"The heir was beyond our expectations, and it seemed to be His Highness Princess Mary." Albert sighed.

"What about Bavaria? Will he be a member of the German Empire or an Austro-Hungarian Empire in the future?" Almost immediately, Dietman jumped up. This incident was too shocking, and it was not good news for everyone here.

"Crown Prince Ruprecht promised that the political territory between Germany and Austria would not change, and his eldest son would not inherit the Bavarian throne." Albert was also upset. He was a more realistic person. When his life was hanging on a thread, he would never consider the matter of the Austro-Hungarian Crown Prince. However, the consequences of this matter were very serious. To go far, Bavaria and Austria were closer. Bavaria, backed by Austria, could no longer be dealt with by Prussia. This would be a very troublesome for the future central government of the empire. From the moment, there was an empire and a kingdom behind Earl Schelling. Albert's confidence was not as good as the German officers' regiment!

"This is simply treason! How could Bavaria and Austro-Hungarian Empire do this?!" Barth said in anger.

"Okay, we won't talk about this topic for the time being, it's not something we can control. On the contrary, our future destiny is controlled by the Kingdom of Bavaria to a certain extent. The German officers' group and the German Emperor must have received this news, but they chose to remain silent. If we express opposition or a slight dissatisfaction, then the result is no need to say, we will not live for a week." Albert said in pain. This is not a joke. If Bavaria announces that it is on the side of the German Emperor, both the army and the government will naturally collapse. After all, no one is willing to participate in a war that will definitely lose!
