Chapter 134

With the process of German unification, many Poles had problems with their sense of belonging, especially at the top. They were originally loyal to the Prussian royal family, and they had no sense of belonging to the Prussian country and the entire Germany. Everything came from imperial power, but when Prussia became Germany, the central power would definitely be dispersed. When Prussia was simply Prussia, there were no such thing as the Federal Parliament. After becoming Germany, there were 17 votes in the Federal Parliament. If this was refined to specific power, what would the Poles think?

It is precisely because of this dislocation of ideas and disagreement with religion and ethnic issues that the Poles' feelings for Prussia are still very complicated. When there is no way, everyone will get along with me. You can give me some benefits. Everyone lives peacefully and strives together. But if something happens, the Poles will still have to fight you if they want independence. There are too many cases when they were born Germans and Poles when they became adults. German Poland continued under Prussia's rule for decades, but still did not surrender completely. The Prussian high-ranking officials are still very entangled with the Poles.

Ruprecht's first stabbed the sensitive nerves of the Prussians. Of course, this cannot be entirely blamed for Ruprecht. Someone started to scold him first. A Hamburg newspaper compiled an article titled "On the Role and Development of Protestantism in Germany". In this article, the author strongly advocated the role of Protestantism in the development of Prussia. He believed that in order for the German Empire to be stronger and more stable, the ruling status of Protestantism should be established and become the state religion. It gradually weakened the religious power of other kingdoms and grand priests.

A unified religion does help the stability of the country. Of course, the premise is that you have been unified. The Prussian high-level officials do agree with this, but you can do some things, but you can't say it! Moreover, Bismarck has been busy with religious and social struggles for decades. Even a powerful person has not completed the task. He did not say that Protestantism has become a German Orthodox Church. You are brave enough in a small newspaper!

Of course, there are thousands of newspapers and magazines in Germany. How much shock can a stone cause? But at this sensitive time, when Bavaria focused on the direction of German public opinion, when other countries began to pay attention to religious beliefs and xenophobia issues, when the Poles in East Prussia felt that they were shot, and under the promotion of certain forces, this long-grown event finally fermented!

"What do you mean? I am a Pole, but since the Napoleonic War, my family has shed blood in the Danish War, the Praxist War, and the Franco-Prussian War. My father has sacrificed his life for the empire! I have shed blood for the empire! Now, all the benefits have been taken away by the Prussian men you established. We can only guard the declining manor and make a difficult life. Until now, even religious beliefs will be deprived of you! You guys who eat people and don't spit bones!"

Then a Polish Junker nobleman published an article titled "My Life" in an East Prussian newspaper, describing the tragic experience of fighting for the empire for the rest of his life but not being able to enjoy fair treatment. He claimed that the profits of the empire were divided up by those greedy capitalists! This is the fundamental reason for the decline and poverty of the Junker nobles! "These vampires can sell their souls for a mark! They monopolized all industries of the empire, causing the original old aristocratic system to perish, and finally pointed out, why do these guys who did not contribute or shed blood in the imperial war share the profits of the empire? What happened to the emperor of the empire, all the loyalists of all the nobles?"

Well, that's right. This article not only tells the voices of all Polish pro-German people, but also touches the pain points of the Junker nobles. How glory was I when the empire expanded? What was the Junker nobles? It was a military landlord with a lot of land! Prussia was an agricultural country at the beginning, and the landlords naturally had a certain degree of armed landlords. At the beginning, the class attributes of the Hohenzollern family were also this. Everyone was considered their own family.

But later, industry developed, the proportion of agriculture decreased, and the German Emperor began to invest a lot of money in the industrial field, and no longer fought wars, and the channels for the promotion of the Junke nobles became increasingly narrow. The double gap in economy and status made many Junke nobles become business card nobles, and there was no benefit except a prominent surname! Not all Junke nobles could marry the bourgeoisie. There were countless decliners among them!

Who has no relatives and friends? The marriage between the Junke nobles broke the bones and connected the tendons. The articles of this nobleman also caused a certain response in the Junke noble circle. Many people expressed support, and many people said that the imperial government was too indulging in those capitalists! Then a group of people believed that food tariffs should be raised to ensure the interests of local agriculture......

Then, Bavaria's counterattack also unfolded. An article called "We Need Fairness" appeared in Bavarian newspapers. This time, the Bavarian royal family went to the front desk. He said without any hesitation that Bavaria needs money and has earned a lot of money during this period, but the source is very clean! One does not rely on monopoly, and the other does not rely on bribery. All the things you fight for are real skills! You can do it, you can do it!

"We are a country. Although there may be some differences between religious beliefs and nations, this is not the mainstream. Everyone hopes that this country will be better. The economic competition between the two sides cannot rise to national conflicts! Some industries in Bavaria do cause conflicts with Germany, but this conflict is benign. I make money by my ability. Bavaria's hardened armor is the best in the world. You Krupp has the ability to do it yourself!"

"You said that my artillery wanted to monopolize the imperial navy, and your Krupp's artillery had monopolize the navy and the army! Who is more obvious? Not only that, Krupp also used state power to suppress competitors. The rapid-fire artillery was originally created by our family, but the order of the artillery within the Prussian army was from Krupp, and we forced us to hand over the technology. What's your business? I was too lazy to pay attention to you back then, and you were so arrogant? For your own interests, you would be willing to provoke the opposition between religion and state. What do you think?"

Ruprecht was not vague, and pointed out the mastermind behind this series of events by name. Krupp. In fact, the blame was a bit too big, and it was obviously wrong to let Krupp take all of them. After all, Ruppet offended many people. The armor had already pitted Krupp, and the artillery was preparing to pit. Ruppet's semi-automatic rifle also competed with Mauser, and it made too many enemies in shipbuilding. But this time, Krupp was considered unlucky! Ruppet was staring at you and beat him to death!
