Chapter 2342 Killer 1
Although Ruprecht knew that this political struggle over the issue of compensation distribution was not good for anyone, although Ruprecht had released a certain kindness in his hope to ease the tense relationship between them and was prepared to both sides to give in so that conflict could be avoided and common ground while reserving differences.
However, Ruprecht will never place all his hopes on his kindness in exchange for the other party’s kindness! Politics has always been a place that is more dangerous than the battlefield! Here, you place your hopes on each other’s kind response and the other’s overall view? Isn’t this funny? So Ruprecht must prepare for the showdown time that may occur at any time!
Well, since you want to be prepared for a showdown, Ruprecht must find a suitable opponent! It is irrational to confront the parliamentary faction and the German Emperor at the same time, it is the same as war. At any time, in a battle, you can only have one core goal and one core opponent!
The means of this battle are obviously impossible to be as fierce as the confrontation on the battlefield. To put it bluntly, the means are to use various contradictions after the current civil war to intensify and control them in a planned manner, so the other party realizes that their rule has become unstable, so they need to make concessions in exchange for the stability of the regime. Ruprecht did not want to overthrow the German emperor or the parliamentary faction, but on the one hand, it was because the power was not enough, and on the other hand, it would cause unpredictable disputes and turmoil. Ruprecht just wanted to cause some trouble to some people and remind them. If necessary, replace some others. Then finally pass a relatively favorable agreement for the crown prince!
The German Emperor Prussia was not a suitable goal. Apart from the issue of strength, the biggest advantage of the German Emperor Prussia is stability. You can say that the German Emperor was the representative of the Junker nobles and a feudal remnant. But it is impossible to deny that because the German Emperor Prussia almost inherited the previous administrative system and there were no changes. Although these bureaucrats had various problems, it is impossible to deny that their work efficiency was still possible. A stable regime and experienced officials could resolve various current problems more smoothly. The Junker nobles who controlled the German army were also willing to cooperate with the German Emperor. Therefore, it was not appropriate for Ruprecht to take action against the German Emperor.
The Prussian Federation of Parliament is a good goal. Think about it, even Heinrich Lehald of Rheinmetallurgical can be seen as being in the parliamentary faction, but how could Ruprecht not see it? The premise of planning contradictions is that there must be contradictions, and it is best that the original contradiction will be more intensified, and then you can control it!
After finding an opponent, the crown prince needs a suitable entry point, an entry point that can not only make the parliamentary faction feel threatened, but also not make the German Emperor uneasy. After all, if Ruprecht grasps a problem that can both make the parliamentary faction and the German Emperor uneasy, then the German Emperor is likely to choose to deal with Bavaria with the parliamentary faction, because, today you can use this weapon to deal with the parliamentary faction, and tomorrow it can also be used to deal with the German Emperor......
After thinking about it for a long time with the staff, Ruprecht finally discovered a deadly for the parliamentary faction and the German Emperor had little impact. After the operation, Bavaria might also gain additional benefits, and this entry point is the placement of army personnel!
First of all, this issue is a very important and difficult issue, not only for the parliamentary faction, but also for the German Emperor and Bavaria. Each of these three states has more than 7 figures of officers and soldiers to be resettled! Who should retire and who should continue to stay in the army? How to divert retired manpower? How to ensure their lives and how to reorganize those serving? These are all problems.
It can even be said that it is not only a headache for the victorious countries in World War I in this plane. In history, the Allies, which are also victorious countries, are also very troublesome to resettle this issue. For example, in the United Kingdom, in addition to the vast and sparsely populated places like Australia, it is very difficult to resettle soldiers by placing land for desperately slaughtering land, both Britain and France are very difficult to resettle. What about the so-called smooth Australia? It took a full five years to resettle. As for the United States? Haha, a stain on MacArthur's early days was also stained at this time. For example, MacArthur's suppression of veterans in World War I in 1932.
Faced with this problem, the difficulty of handling different states is different. The most convenient way to deal with it is naturally Bavaria. Even if the Transcaucasus region is not calculated, Bavaria also obtained land of up to 270,000 square kilometers from the eastern line! Although there are about 15 million other populations on it, the population density is not large. You should know that before the war, Bavaria had a population of more than 12 million, while the area was only 78,000 square kilometers. Now the area of the kingdom has increased by more than 3.5 times, but the population has increased by more than 1 times, which means that there is a large amount of land that can be used for allocation! This is the addition of calculation. Let’s calculate the subtraction now.
Although Ruprecht had to resettle more than 1 million officers and soldiers. However, these troops were not all from Bavaria, but also from Bohemia. Bohemia still belonged to the Austro-Hungarian Empire politically. Hundreds of thousands of retired Bohemia soldiers could be resettled with the new territory of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Therefore, even if Ruprecht used the stupidest method to directly arrange agricultural land for a considerable number of retired soldiers, a considerable part of the population could be digested. After all, according to the standards of later generations, a country with an area of 350,000 square kilometers had less than 30 million people. The population density was really not high, and the territory Ruprecht obtained was quite good, most of which were plains.
Then there was the German Emperor Prussia. According to a series of agreements reached before, the German Emperor Prussia inherited almost half of the territory of the Old Prussia, which is about 180,000 square kilometers, and half of the 320,000 square kilometers of land assigned by the Old Prussia fell into the hands of the German Emperor. That is, 160,000 square kilometers. If we only look at the proportion of population and land, the German Emperor's distribution pressure was obviously higher than that of Bavaria. Moreover, because the German Emperor was the representative of the Junker nobles, there were two fundamental points in establishing the Junker nobles in Germany, one was the army and the other was the land. This made the German Emperor's plan to resettle retired personnel by allocating land would be greatly hindered.
Well, although there are big problems, there are many new territories after all, and these places need to be developed. In addition, the German Emperor directly inherited the original administrative system, and the efficiency of service is guaranteed. In addition, the support of the Junker nobles within the army, it is unlikely to quickly arrange millions of officers and soldiers, but it is still okay to ensure that these people live a basic life and there is no turmoil. After all, the system and architecture are all there.
