If the funds obtained are sufficient, such as Britain and France in history, they can quickly recover and enjoy the prosperity after the end of the war. If not enough, if something happens to your own country, it will be more troublesome to recover the economy, such as Italy after the war... In fact, after the end of the war in history, Italy's economy has not been very good, so Mussolini can jump so early!

In fact, the start-up capital was the competition between Bavaria and the German Emperor and the parliamentary faction. The only difference is that the crown prince is confident that with sufficient start-up capital, the Bavaria and Austro-Hungarian Empire will directly enter the fast lane of recovery, and then drive the old Prussian region. The level of the parliamentary faction and the German Emperor depends on the situation.

"Let's not talk about the funding issue, just talking about the resettlement issue is a very troublesome thing. A large number of officers and soldiers need jobs, and disabled people need compensation. Even if the funds are sufficient, it is not the best choice to place personnel directly by giving a retirement fund. We have all participated in the war and know that the cruelty and blood of war. Under the huge pressure and various stimulation, the mental state of veteran soldiers will generally have some problems, which will make them difficult to integrate into society. This is even more so for officers. Those who have contributions and ability want to enter a higher level. For example, it is unfair to make a regiment-level officer you let him become a civilian again overnight. Their talents and contributions should allow them to enter a higher level, and this problem cannot be solved now." Admiral Hausen added.

"So how do you solve these problems now?" Ruprecht asked.

"Now? We don't have a good way, we are just delaying. For those who are willing to leave the army now, we will pay a retirement fee, but this is a minority. Except for some people with skills or families, most of them would rather stay in the barracks than enter the army. This is not a small number of people, but hundreds of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people! What we can do now is to temporarily pay military pay according to the previous standards, but it is obvious that this situation will not continue. The Social Democratic Party is already dissatisfied with the high military pay issue. They hope that we will dissolve the army cleanly, but you know, this is impossible and even irresponsible."

"As for the officers? We try our best to retain some experienced and capable officers, but unfortunately, because the size of the army has been reduced, a large number of personnel will still be lost. We want to increase the number of civilians as much as possible, but doing so also conflicts with the Social Democratic Party. However, they are governments and have inherent advantages. We are soldiers and have no say in politics." Crook said on the side.

"There is no political say? If I remember correctly, you have established a veterans association?" Ruprecht said. "Don't tell me that this association has no political purpose."

"It's just for self-protection. Even if the Prussian Federation only counts the population of the original German territory, it has nearly 20 million. In fact, it is impossible for all officers and soldiers to join the Veterans Association. More officers and soldiers are officers, and they have the energy and ability. As for ordinary officers and soldiers? We just have a certain influence. After all, soldiers from civilian origins have to consider livelihood issues more. The association was established for too short and there was no strict organization, and it was a mess." General Hausen said.

"If nothing unexpected happens, this contradiction can only be delayed and cannot be eliminated. From the moment the contradiction breaks out, General Crook and General Hausen may become scapegoats." Pinov, who had not spoken much, spoke.

"So?" The Crown Prince looked at the man who was most resentful to the parliamentary faction in front of him with interest. If Crook and Hausen could still maintain their military status and have the rank of general, then Pinov worked hard in vain. Although he was in the wrong team, no matter what, he also made contributions on the battlefield.

"You asked us to come here not just to chat, right? Although I am no longer in the army, I still know some things. You are facing a difficulty now and need help from others. After thinking for a long time, you thought we might be able to help you, so this meeting was made. In this case, can we explain it clearly? If you put forward your request, we offer our consideration."

Pinov said as if he was willing to do so, on the one hand, it was because he was indeed resentful of the parliamentary party's approach. On the other hand, although Pinov had no public office, he is now the executive president of the Veterans Association... He also wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to rise again. Compared with Crook and Hausen who still have a status and are concerned, Pinov is barefoot and not afraid of wearing shoes! He can really do so!

"What about your opinions?" Ruprecht said after looking at Crook and Hausen.

"You are a wise man, a powerful warrior, and you can make any opponent afraid in any aspect. At the same time, I also believe that you are a person who loves Germany deeply and a person who knows the right degree. From my personal point of view, I hope you can control a degree well. Under this premise, if you can help us solve the problem of military personnel resettlement, we can cooperate with you to a limit. Of course, if you want to overthrow the government or something, then forget it. After all, the empire is not stable now, and I think the worst order is better than chaos. Although the Social Democratic Party is abominable, now is not the time." Crook said carefully.

Perhaps in the eyes of outsiders, Crook's answer was somewhat unexpected. After all, Crook and Ruprecht had the most interactions with him in business. Because before the war, it was difficult to directly establish contact with Ruprecht as a Crook. As an army general, is he prominent? He is naturally noble, but he is still far behind the top nobles. You must know that even before the war, if the best German nobles gathered together, Ruprecht's ranking was in the top ten! Except for the emperor, queen, kings and princes of various kingdoms, it was basically his turn. What about Crook? Even in the Prussian range, even if the Black Hawk Knights could not enter.

In reality, Crook knew that what Ruprecht was going to compete for was the right to allocate war reparations. The cake was so big. Bavaria had more, and there were fewer others. If the Prussian Federation was less, the cost of the military personnel could be used in the end. This seemed to be an enemy of himself! Well, now the question is, why should Crook help Ruprecht? Isn't this cheating on himself?
