Chapter 1872 differences

In the German Emperor's view, if Prussia is divided, the Emperor's faction should also be the dominant. First of all, the East Prussia region is almost a private land of nobles, and there are many people supporting the emperor. Now, except for some provinces in the central region and areas controlled by the northern coastal naval forces, some areas in western Germany are also nominally under the rule of the German Emperor. If divided according to this situation, except for the three provinces in the central region, the rest of the German Emperor are all from the German Emperor! Moreover, Brandenburg Province must be divided, and no one will accept that the capital of the empire is completely in the hands of the parliamentary faction!

Secondly, the German Emperor believed that if the reason had exchanged some interests with Bavaria, it would be possible to make Bavaria lean towards itself and obtain more land. After all, although the relationship between the German Emperor and Bavaria was very bad before, now, after the German Emperor gave up the suppression of Bavaria, what else can we talk about? Compared with the parliamentary faction, the German Emperor believed that Bavaria would have a better view of himself! By the same token, the German Emperor could also convince Württemberg and Saxony to help him with the interests of the Eastern Front.

Just as Ruprecht said back then, William II never thought of getting rid of the Bavarian crown, and Bavaria would not let the Prussian crown land. This is the tacit understanding and bottom line between the kings! From this point of view, their relationship is really much closer than that with the parliament!

"We have similar ideas. Since neither of us can completely convince each other, we can consider implementing division and governance under the principle of one empire. Let time test who is more correct in us." Barth said.

"Wait a minute, can you explain what it means to be under the principle of an empire?" Grand Duke Baden asked with a frown.

"It's very simple. Judging from the current situation, the highest authority in Germany in the future will be the Federal Parliament and the Imperial Parliament. Obviously, even if we can handle the army, the Imperial Parliament composed of meritorious personnel will definitely be established with the remnants of the army and the support of the surrounding states. And I believe that His Majesty the Emperor is willing to establish such a parliament, and you and Moltke will definitely enter."

Anyone with discerning eyes knows that Crown Prince Ruprecht's decision to add another parliament was obviously to limit the rights of the political party and to arrange a backroad for the military (not just senior officers) in this war. Therefore, this resolution was widely supported. In addition to the Social Democratic Party, even ordinary people believed that those warriors who fought to the death on the battlefield had reason to gain a status that was commensurate with their efforts.

This is politics. When the German Emperor and the parliamentary faction were preparing to calculate the military, it still did not hinder the German Emperor and the military from joining forces to restrict the parliament. Sometimes, the boundaries between friends and enemies were so blurred, and even if a and b stabbed C together, a and c and d were also calculating b at the same time... What's even more amazing is that b knows the activities of a and c, but still calculates b with a. Isn't this the situation now? The German Emperor and the parliamentary faction were thinking of weakening the military, while the German Emperor, the military and Bavaria restricted the parliamentary faction by establishing a third parliament!

The Social Democratic Party cannot stop the situation of adding a new parliament, so they must find it in other aspects, that is, the Prussian Federation controlled by the Social Democratic Party in the future must have independent voting rights in the federal parliament!

"This approach is actually unfair. As a political party, we cannot only pursue local administrative power, but also pursue rights at the imperial level. Therefore, we must have the right to vote independently in the Federal Parliament. We must completely cut off from the Prussian king and establish a brand new state." Barth said.

"There will be a great resistance to doing so. The people of Prussia will not allow their country to be divided," said Grand Duke Baden.

"Haha, you are so confident. The Kingdom of Prussia extended its sphere of influence to the eastern part of Germany after the Vienna Conference. It took only 100 years. If Prussia considers annexation of Hannover and other countries, the time will be shorter. So, we all know that even in areas like Silesia, William II's reputation has been very low due to the Poles' riots. I can even say that, except for the nobles, not many people are willing to accept the rule of His Majesty the Emperor."

"Of course, if we want us to take care of the German Emperor's face, we can still be under a banner, but we will never give in to the seats in the Federal Parliament!" Bart emphasized.

"Haha, do you know? My fence was prepared to become a kingdom before. My mother was the princess of the German Empire. My fence was the fifth most powerful force within the empire. Even so, they all failed in the end. One of the very important reasons is that the change in the status of states will lead to a change in the number of votes in the federal parliament. Bavaria is the strongest, and he has 6 votes. Saxony and Wurtemberg are also kingdoms, each with 4 votes, and the Grand Duchy of Baden has 3 votes. If the Grand Duchy of Baden becomes a kingdom and has 4 votes, then one vote must be squeezed out from other places. After all, the 58 votes in the federal parliament cannot be increased or decreased at will!"

"Think about it, the empire has been established for so many years, and the population has ranged from more than 50 million to nearly 70 million now. The factions and revolving lanterns in the empire are changing, and the number of members is constantly changing. But when did the pattern of the federal parliament change? It is much harder to change the federal parliament than to overthrow the German emperor!" Grand Duke Baden said coldly.

Why are diamonds valuable? Isn’t it because of their scarcity and stability? In addition to their voting rights, another problem is that this is the right to truly determine German policy! No matter whether you are an emperor or a political party? Are you an army or a noble? The German emperor can be threatened to step down. The Federal Parliament only threatens others, and no one threatens him! The empire is immortal! The Federal Parliament will last forever! No matter what important resolution, the Federal Parliament has the power to veto! Therefore, every country is very close to this issue!

"However, I think it is inappropriate for the newly established Prussian Kingdom to have the original Prussian seats, because the Federal Parliament is a major principle and is determined based on the population of each state. We have obtained the dominance and title of some regions, and there should be some reaction in the Federal Parliament." Bart paused for a moment and continued: "And, the Federal Parliament will definitely change in the future, because the empire has changed, from a country of 570,000 ordinary kilometers to a country of millions of square kilometers, and Bavaria will definitely not settled in the original 6 votes and the share within the Imperial Parliament!"
