2362 Friend and enemy 1
"From the perspective of governing the country, I think Bavaria is a successful example. We have jumped from a small European country with an area of only 78,000 square kilometers and a population of only 10 million to this level. In a few years, I believe that Bavaria will become a stronger existence than France, and our rise is also very rare in European history. And successful people will definitely have their successful experience. Do you agree with this?" said the crown prince.
"Listen attentively. You are indeed a genius when it comes to governing the country, and we have never been a party behind closed doors. I hope we can do better one day," said Hasai.
"First point, I will always tell myself that I am a king! I am the future ruler of this country, I am the agent of the whole country's interests, not the agent of a certain group! Aristocrats, capitalists, middle class and civilians are the four pillars that support this country. Any leg is lame, which is not good for the country. Can you understand the difference between me and your party and the German emperor?" Ruprecht said.
"I understand what you mean. You mean that the German Emperor relies too much on the nobles and capitalists close to the royal family, and we rely on capitalists to take power. The power system within the country lacks checks and balances. Over time, we, who should have been leaders, have become puppets of the behind-the-scenes agents. We are controlled every move, and if we are dissatisfied, we will be abandoned?" Hasai thought for a while and said.
The German Emperor was the loyalty and protector of the Junker nobles, and the leader of the army. However, during civil strife, a considerable number of the army and the Junker nobles were betrayal or neutral, and the civilian officers promoted in the war chose to support the parliament because of their dissatisfaction with the German Emperor's policy. By the same token, the current parliamentary faction wanted to satisfy the appetite of capital giants in the face of tight funds, and in order to please the latter, otherwise there might be some trouble in the next election within the Social Democratic Party!
"That's right, so the first point of my rule is balance and my own detached position. I only need to consider two issues: first, how to develop this country, and second, how to make all classes benefit from the development of the country. To do these two points, the country will at least be stable."
"So now let's talk about the second point. I am not a person who likes internal fighting, or rather than cutting cakes, I prefer to discuss with a group of like-minded people how to make this cake bigger! Internal fighting is only a necessary means, not the only way to gain benefits. This is also the essential difference between me and you. Of course, the premise for doing this is the first point I just said, the balanced distribution of interests within the country, and the rulers' high control over the state!" The crown prince continued.
After traveling through time, one of Ruprecht's most personal feelings about the world is that it is really difficult to lead a teammate to pigs... For example, during the battle on the Eastern Front, Bavaria needs to always consider whether the Austro-Hungarian Legion standing next to it will collapse. The crown prince has to spend at least half of the time considering how to help the Austro-Hungarian Legion save the field... This is still the Austro-Hungarian Empire after the crown prince strengthens! Ruprecht really admires how his uncle Prince Leopold brought Russia down with the Austro-Hungarian Empire!
Look at Germany today, and combine it with the country with a potential that is beyond the ocean in history. Although Germany has won now, the crown prince is still under great pressure! Thinking about the future, he may have to lead the entire Germany, the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the United States, the Soviet Union, and Britain to fight, and the crown prince feels Alexander! Therefore, Ruprecht really hopes that his teammates can be stronger and not fight in the nest all day. After all, the future will be a team battle, just like a high-end game of lol. No matter how powerful a master is, he will never be able to compete with five at a time!
The reason why Ruprecht said so much to Hasai today is to gradually influence the leader of the Social Democratic centrist, so that he will at least not hold back in the future! What? Why don’t you look for Albert? The reason is very simple. He is already the culprit chosen by the Crown Prince! Even the right wing of the Social Democratic Party will pay a heavy price in this "war"!
"Do you know why some people like infighting?" asked the crown prince.
"It's very simple, because at some times, it's easier to grab the interests of other domestic classes than to directly grab foreigners, especially for the party in power. A simple decree can make countless people fall into hell and a small number of people into heaven. The price required may be just some exchange of political interests, empty promises or even deceptions." Hasai sighed and said. People who can get to his level naturally know a lot of inside information. From his individual and the parties behind him, they are relatively neutral. They don't like the radicalism of the left, and Hasai also opposes the right reliance on capital giants too much.
"However, this is not a long-term solution. A country is like a family. Some people eat more and take up more food all day and will become obese and lazy, and they will think that bullying their own family is more cost-effective than going out to work hard. This intensifies internal conflicts. Others eat less, so they have poor strength and they have complaints. This leads to a decline in the overall combat effectiveness of the country. When it is necessary to transfer domestic conflicts through war or other means, let a group of fat people and malnourished people enter the battlefield. Wouldn't that be killed?" said the crown prince.
"You are a great man, a person who truly considers the empire." Hasai said sincerely after being silent for a moment.
"So, to be honest, I really hope that all the states within the German Empire can become stronger, and then we will deal with foreign enemies together to gain more benefits and greater development. For some of these black sheep that may cause serious harm to the empire, I will eliminate them without hesitation. For example, Albert now has become the spokesperson for capital giants, which is very unfavorable to the empire. The compensation distribution plan you had previously offered to the German Emperor was just another version of the cake sharing incident, purely a fight!" Ruprecht said.
The German Empire and the Austro-Hungarian Empire are now really prosperous and both prosperous and lose. The two sides can join forces to keep warm now. Is it really good to get close to each other like two hedgehogs, and they are still calculating each other while getting close? Even if they are as strong as the Americans, they still have a lot of allies. Why should Germany think that it can fight all the enemies one by one?
