Chapter 1851 After the meeting

"What do you think of Prince Leopold's words?" Pinov asked.

"What sentence?" Crook said with some confusion.

"It's that sentence, we don't realize the sinisterness of human hearts and the decay of the top leaders." Pinov said hatefully: "It seems that they are so clean that they are."

"They are indeed much cleaner than us. First of all, the aristocratic power in Bavaria is much worse than Prussia. They formed their own class, but lacked corresponding rights and economic power, so they are more just a name and not very privileged. Secondly, the capitalists in Bavaria are not as bold as Prussia. They are dependent on the country, and their economic and political influence are limited. Third, the Crown Prince Ruprecht's ability is at least two levels stronger than the German Emperor. He balances fairness and efficiency well. At this point, they are indeed much cleaner than us." Crook sighed and said.

"You seem to be frightened by the prince's words?" said Pritwitz.

"Somewhat, because whether it is Crown Prince Ruprecht or Prince Leopold will never be aimless. If what they said happened many years later, I might not believe it, but now, if it takes less than two months to verify it, then I still believe it." Crook said.

"What should we do now?" asked Admiral Hausen.

"Watch the changes, we can do nothing to weaken Bavaria, so we can only wait for the establishment of the Prussian government before we talk about it. I hope His Majesty the Emperor will not let us down." At this time, Crook was actually a little biased towards William II in his heart.

On the night of the meeting, Moltke Xiao reported the results of the entire meeting to the German Emperor and the Grand Duke of Baden. He tried his best to explain the problem in a tactful tone and try to reduce the stimulation to the German Emperor. This time, perhaps as expected, perhaps it was too much of a blow. The German Emperor's reaction was very dull, and it could even be described as indifference! So much so that Moltke Xiao doubted whether the German Emperor was about to give up?

"I am responsible for finding some of our people to formulate future imperial planning and negotiation memorandums. Little Moltke, you are responsible for contacting some of the military personnel, whether they are in service or retired. We need more people to participate, otherwise we are not opponents of the Social Democratic Party." said Grand Duke Baden.

"Are we really going to do this?" When it comes to political philosophy, Xiao Moltke is really a good-looking guy. He is the kind of person who knows nothing about fire on a rolling pin. So he is very resistant to these things.

"Or what else can it be? Win the hearts of the people, promote your own ideas, and slander your opponents. Well, all these must be done." Grand Duke Baden said.

"Okay, I will do my business well." After saying that, little Moltke looked at Empress De and left. Only Grand Duke Baden and William II were left in the room.

"Brother, are I really not suitable to be a king? After I was born, my father has been teaching me how to become a qualified monarch, and I am also working hard to do it. Why, now, when the war is about to win, as the commander, will be defeated?" William II said in pain. Even if a arrogant person is in a series of blows, he tends to collapse his spirit after being hit by a series of blows. Now the blows received by the German emperor are even greater than in history. After all, Germany lost in history, William II has nothing to say, just run away directly, but now? I am about to win, and then I am stabbed by my own people... This is frustrating.

"Your Majesty, you do have some mistakes. But the fundamental reason this time is that you do not control a force that truly belongs to you, nor do you consider the interests of most people in the empire. You let the Junker nobles and political parties control the regime and military power. Although the establishment of the navy provides a channel for civilians to rise, it is a drop in the bucket. You did not provide enough welfare for the residents like Bismarck, which makes the people have a good impression of the political party. In addition, some improper handling of some things has led to the current results." said Grand Duke Baden.

"If I still have the opportunity to rule in the future, I will definitely start from scratch. Ruprecht will be my role model." After saying that, the German Emperor no longer struggled with this issue. He began to join the Grand Duke Baden to convene those who are still loyal to the royal family to prepare to negotiate with the parliament! The German Emperor thought he was familiar with this battlefield. Even though he did a lot of things wrong, he did not want to lose this time! During this period, the Grand Duke Baden really found some people from all over the place, and the German Emperor still had a great influence among the nobles!

When Prince Leopold returned to his residence, he also reported the results of the negotiations to Ruprecht as soon as possible. He said that negotiations between the German Emperor and the parliamentary faction would be the general trend, but at the same time, the German military officers still had great vigilance against Bavaria. He also put forward the opinions of Bavaria to abandon the control of the Austro-Hungarian region.

"The last conscience of Prussia." Ruprecht commented on Crucker and others, but unfortunately, their conscience is useless! The arms controlled by the officers' regiment are indeed very fearful, but they are just weapons after all. Without the people who control weapons, the state and the government, and without the powerful material and economic support of Prussia, what combat effectiveness does the Prussian Legion have at this time? So, although Prince Leopold refused the other party in public, nothing happened.

As for the split of Prussia? After the split, Prussia, which became two halves, could not be able to fight Bavaria? The originally integrated Prussian officers' group would be divided. They would not have time to deal with their own affairs, let alone other things? As for why Ruprecht was sure that Prussia would eventually become divided, rather than the compromise between the German emperor and the parliamentary faction? The reason is very simple. Prince Leopold has already said that the sinisterness of people's hearts! The corruption of the top leaders!

The various interest groups within Prussia had too many demands for interests. The nobles wanted to continue to guarantee their privileges and status, while the capitalists wanted to expand their influence, and at the same time asked the imperial government to formulate laws and policies that suit them. The middle class wanted broader channels for ascending, while the civilians wanted higher welfare.

Capable interest groups will compete for state power, such as aristocrats and capitalists. Their struggle greatly weakens Prussia. The weaker civilians do not gain benefits from the strength of Prussia, so they do not have much recognition of the country. So they may ignore it when events that may lead to a tendency to divide the country.
