Chapter 16: layout

　　 Prince Ruprecht is very self-aware, how much effect his own words can play, this is really true. William II was a naval fan. Tirpitz's success in future generations is definitely not a whim. How to develop the scale of German naval armaments without stimulating the surrounding countries is an art. I said to Prince William and the future Secretary of State of the Navy that these can only end, and must be as tactful as possible. Traversers used to establish contacts, not quarrels!

　　 But there are some things that are different from what Bismarck said. At least in terms of maintaining the existing good diplomatic environment and developing the navy to a limited extent, I and the Prime Minister are the same. And to divert Russia’s attention, let him turn his attention to the Far East, or more clearly to the Japanese, is obviously the best choice for Germany. If history does not deviate, Nicholas II will be in 1891. He started his circumnavigation journey in 1988, and in Japan, he will get a memory that he will remember for life!

What are friends? People who have common enemies or cannot understand are friends. Because of the prince’s experience in his previous life, he was very disgusted with the island country of East Asia, and asked him some trouble. By the way, he would intensify the contradiction between Russia, Japan, and even Britain and Russia. Starting from the current German perspective, it is obviously the best result to fight Russia, Japan, Britain and France in the Far East! Japan’s ambitions have begun to show. Russia is not a faint Qing country. They realized this early on. Japan is behind the United Kingdom. For Germany, there is only good and no harm to Germany, and its own armor can also be obtained. More customers!

　　 In addition, the problem that the prince wants to talk to the prime minister is the colony problem. In history, Germany's management of colonies has gone through a detour for a while. On the one hand, Germany wants to use its native culture to completely transform the colony. But at the same time, Germany did not send many people to run this colony. The annual funding did have some, but by the end of the 19th century, Germany had only 23,000 Germans in East Africa! 3000 of them are still the police colony army! Just the population of TM can make a gross change in German East Africa! (This data, the author has glanced at it, may be wrong, but it is certain that Europe is sparsely populated.)

　　 In the same period, the number of Germans who immigrated to the United States from Germany reached about 1 million! These are still there, and those who are not eligible for admission are not included! These people may be hard-working farmers, or skilled workers, or senior intellectuals such as university professors. Even if the German government can only divert some people from the bottom to the German colonies, then Germany's control over the colonies will be greatly enhanced. The development of colonies will inevitably lead to economic and population growth. The various raw materials and crops produced in the colonies can also make up for the lack of German raw materials to a certain extent.

　　 In addition to meeting these future political giants, the prince has one more thing to do, and that is to meet with the future German industrial and financial giants! If the current German power is in the hands of the royal family and the king. military. Grassroots power and agriculture are in the hands of the Junker nobles. Then the economic lifeline of Germany lies in the hands of German capitalists! Although the industrial development of Germany showed explosive growth in a short period of time, this stage was very short and could not completely destroy the old Junker noble system.

　　 But now, capitalists and financiers are still in a state of equal rivalry with the Junker nobles. These financial predators hide behind the scenes, using money, media and other means to control and influence German policies! Almost all the members of the original naval association have big capitalist backgrounds! They used the German Empire to open up markets and obtain raw materials origin. And was supported by the empire. They are becoming more and more used to expanding under the saber of the empire, without thinking about what would happen if they overdo it! Anyway, after the fall of the empire, if a federal government is established, their political status will be improved in disguise. The weakening of the Junker nobility and the collapse of the royal family may not be a bad thing for them!

　　From the current perspective of the prince, he is very contradictory to those capitalists and financial giants. On the one hand, he needs to use their power to develop Bavaria, and even become one of them, such as becoming a monopolistic oligarch. Especially in the ascendant of chemical industry and electrification, entering the game as soon as possible now can provide tremendous help for future development! Armor and artillery are only a means of making money, but the improvement of the living standards of the people of Bavaria and employment issues also depend on these enterprises! The economic foundation of Bavaria, which is dominated by textiles and agriculture, is still a bit worse!

　　 On the other hand, the power of capitalists must be restricted, which is determined by the class position and status of the prince! With a country, Ruprecht and his family are the supreme rulers, and if everything loses power as in history, then they are useless. Apart from enjoying life with a large amount of money, I am afraid there is nothing left. Go down in the manor or palace to remember the past! They will have no influence on this country and the world! It is absolutely true that the **** decides the head, and throughout history, if the capitalist of a few major countries is the most nonsense. German capitalists are definitely on top!

　　 Take a look at the three logistical and chaotic military production of three German tanks in history, and the various luxury goods produced during the war! You know! When the British piano factories were producing special plywood for mosquitoes, in 1942, the Germans also invested more than half of the non-ferrous metals in fields unrelated to the military! Military production capacity can't stand up to the huge industrial base of the Germans! There is no reason for the mustache to die! And even if Speer, with a certain degree of support from Mustache, he still can't fight those big industrial federations!

"They enjoyed the prosperity brought by the rise of the empire, but did not want to do their due responsibilities for this empire. When the empire collapsed suddenly, they could only sink down!" The prince commented on the industrial and financial giants of later generations in Germany. Guys! How about Krupp? Krupp at the end of the 19th century even started to make kitchen knives in the 21st century. How about BMW and DB? In the second war, how much share can the famous engine manufacturer gain in the aviation market in later generations? They can only plunge into the relatively low-end automotive industry. What is the end of those shipyards that once gave birth to the high seas fleet, and those that were once famous for producing 100,000 aircraft? The country is over, can those capitalists be spared?

　　 "They can make money, but there is a limit to the political leaders!" This was the tone set by the prince. He can't control Prussia. But in Bavaria this will be the bottom line! These people can be seen every time Germany's heavyweight policy is adjusted. Popular enthusiasm and foreign policy bias are inseparable from them. Even if you have to do a battle with the Allied Powers in the future, the traversers believe that they cannot let Britain and Russia become hostile to Germany prematurely! The enemy's lack of preparation is a good thing for Germany!
