Chapter 1864 Before Contact

"It seems that our plan is not going well?" Wilson said after hearing Robert's words at the residence of the US delegation.

"Yes, the Social Democrats have a bit of integrity. They took Shederman away and we lost one of the most critical friends in the parliamentary factions." Robert said.

"So our plan failed?" Wilson said with a frown.

"How could this be? The premise for its success in a plan like this is that it has a certain social foundation. Whether it is the parliamentary or the royalists, they will choose to split when their side cannot obtain complete benefits. The same is true for the United States. Wasn't the Civil War like this? The South would rather set off a war than abolish the slavery system. And Prussia is the same. In fact, the most persistent thing in the unification of Prussia was the military corps. In addition to them, whether it is other German states or the two factions within Germany, they could accept the result of Prussia's division into two." Robert said.

"If we try our best, can we completely return the German Empire to its original federal state? Will Bavaria want to be truly independent?" Wilson said.

"This is impossible! Ruprecht's political level and ethics are far beyond your imagination. He himself will not let Bavaria break out of the German system, because it is not good for him and his kingdom. He may even enhance the efficiency of the federal parliament. If anyone else wants to break away, the iron fist of Prussia and Bavaria will eliminate all hidden dangers in minutes." Robert said.

"That is to say, the weakening of the German central government will reduce the efficiency of the empire, but division is still impossible?" Wilson asked.

"Yes, Germany still has some reliable politicians. No matter what, after this war, the national strength of the German Empire will rise to a higher level. As for the future relationship between the United States of America and Germany, it is not something our generation can decide. So, Wilson, do what is in front of you and leave what is behind to your descendants." Robert said.

In fact, Robert Lanxin also realized the deep-seated contradictions between the United States of America and Germany, but now, it is obviously not yet time, and cooperation between the United States and Germany is still mainstream. Therefore, he had to remind Wilson of the current situation.

"Okay, Secretary of State, I will pay attention to my attitude." Wilson nodded and said.

At the same time, in the German headquarters in Brussels, Belgium, the German Emperor and his staff were also analyzing the current situation. Three days ago, Moltke brought back the opinions of the senior officials' corps. At this meeting, the senior officials led by Krook clearly stated that the domestic problems in Germany can only be solved by how to discuss them, which made everything irreversible. The German Emperor, who had lost the support of the army, was not enough to rely on the little men under Moltke to kill the parliamentary faction. Therefore, now, the German Emperor can only seriously consider the negotiation issue.

This time, the German Emperor still did not allow his son to attend. It has to be said that the performance of Prince William disappointed the German Emperor, who is the father. Therefore, the meeting was still dominated by the German Emperor, Grand Duke Baden and Moltke. Grand Duke Baden had just returned from another venue.

"Now, let me introduce the political tendencies within the Kingdom of Prussia. From east to west, the Prussian provinces are East Prussia, West Prussia, Pomorie, (near the Baltic Sea, the down payment is now Szczechin) Possen, Silesia, Brandenburg, Schleswiel, Orstein, Hannover, Lower Saxony, (unlike the Kingdom of Saxophone) Rhine-West**, Rhineland, Hesse-Nassau."

"The people who support us in these provinces include East Prussia, West Prussia, Pomory, Possen, and the Rhine-West** and Rhineland that we now control, and among the 13 provinces (and a directly under the royal family, Hohenzollern territory), we have at least 5!" said Grand Duke Baden.

"And the parliamentary factions, they now control Brandenburg, Lower Saxony, most of the eastern part of Hanover, and parts of Hesse-Nassau. They have begun to establish their own grassroots regimes during this period, and from the information they have received, they are making very smooth progress."

"As for other provinces, Schleswieler, Orstein, and Hanover are under the control of the navy, and the local government remains neutral, while the people prefer parliament. In Silesia, because of some of the things that happened before and our failure to make a statement in the first place, the people there have complained about His Majesty." Grand Duke Baden introduced the general situation.

"Overall, we have an advantage, and our supporters hope that we can restore the situation before the empire as much as possible. But the situation is difficult now. The parliamentary faction has established some grassroots regimes, and they will definitely demand the legitimacy of these regimes. The parliament wants to abolish the hierarchical election system and adopt universal suffrage. This is the direction they have been working hard, and now these are deeply supported by ordinary people."

"I have to say that the parliamentary faction has really good methods of bewitching people. They have begun to mobilize their members to start operating in many neutral areas. However, because of the inaction of violent organs in some neutral areas, some situations have become a bit tricky. So, if we want to solve the problem, we must be quick." said Grand Duke Baden.

"What is the attitude of the army towards this?" After so many things, the German Emperor has become accustomed to facing these problems with a peaceful mindset.

"The main legions on the Western Front were all stagnant. In the western Hanover area, Rhineland, Rhine-West* area near the front line, the legions maintained good control, but they refused to exert their own influence in other neutral areas. The navy strictly controlled the social order within the scope, and the parliamentary faction did not cause trouble in the navy's control area." said Moltke.

"Then we mainly compete with the rebel parties in the parliament for two points. The first point is control over the national center, and the other point is the local administrative power?" said the German Emperor.

"There is also legislative power. If the rebel party wants to solidify the fruits of their current victory, it is necessary to determine an electoral system that is beneficial to them through parliament or negotiations. For example, one person and one vote in the local government parliament, and the entire bureaucratic selection mechanism." said Grand Duke Baden.
