Chapter 1707: The heart of the Kaiser

Chapter 1707 The thought of the German emperor (3)

Therefore, from the perspective of implementation and effectiveness, this proposal really has nothing to do with Bavaria! And he couldn't say anything. As for whether Ruprecht will retaliate against the party or individual who made the proposal in the future, it is hard to say, but what does this have to do with the Kaiser?

And now, the only problem with the Kaiser still not taking action is that Russia is not over yet! William II was not an impatient person. Like Ruprecht, he also set a schedule. A timetable for handling domestic and foreign affairs at the same time.

The Russian government will definitely not be able to survive this winter. If the Russian government collapses, then Mackensen will immediately launch an offensive. Even in the midwinter, he will still attack, and then try to sign a treaty with the Russian government in the beginning of the spring next year. In this case, The 400,000 Prussian regiments on the Eastern Front can withdraw at least half of them. At this time, relying on these hundreds of thousands of troops, even without Ruprecht's help, the Kaiser is still not afraid of domestic disturbances! This calculation can be said to be very old, and for the Kaiser, the deterrence of the Bavarian Legion is also useful this winter. After that, it will be dispensable, and at that time, it will naturally be possible to cross the river and demolish the bridge!

As an emperor, you may consider some personal feelings, but you will never hesitate to do it. Weakening Bavaria and ensuring that Prussia's control is further strengthened after the war is the established national policy of William II. This is the first step, but it is definitely not the last step!

What's the next step? Someone in the parliament also thought for the Kaiser, that is, the unification of railways and postal routes and capital penetration in the newly occupied areas! So far, Saxony has succumbed and Württemberg has softened, but Bavaria is still strong... The railways in the Kingdom of Bavaria are still not fully compatible with Prussia. And as Princess Mary became the Grand Duke of Bohemia and Moravia. The railway and postal management of Bavaria extended to the area controlled by the Grand Duchess...

This question is difficult to deal with, because this matter is an internal affair of the Kingdom of Bavaria, and people do not want it. Your Federal Parliament has no jurisdiction. The other two kingdoms believe that it is because they cannot resist pressure, but Bavaria is fine. But this time the war gave the Kaiser a chance!

In this era, long-distance and large-scale land transportation can only rely on railways. Therefore, while the army was advancing, the German railway soldiers and engineers also extended the railway to the front line. In addition to using the railways left by the Russians, whether it was the Mackensen Army on the northern line or the Bavarian line on the southern line. The legions have built many new railways. At the same time, in order to link the north and south fronts, the Germans also built several vertical railways. And because it was during the war, the railways of both sides were a standard, and this time, Ruprecht agreed to adopt Prussian standards and management.

And this is a very good beginning! Because this involves the issue of newly-added regional railways after the war, temporary narrow-gauge railways and wooden tracks can be dismantled at any time, but the two main lines that traverse north and south are not so easy to lose! Well, even if some places are in Bavaria, do you want to change it or not? The war is also very costly for Germany. If you want to eat new areas, the pressure on Bavaria is greater than that on Prussia! At this time, the Kaiser intends to use political and economic means to force Bavaria to surrender over railway and postal issues.

As for financial penetration, the Kaiser has already thought about it. After the war, the Kaiser will set up a special new territorial development agency, the role of this agency is to provide financial assistance for the empire and private development of these new territories. Compared with Bavaria, Prussia has a much better foundation, especially in the financial industry. And other kingdoms and Grand Duchy will not give up this opportunity to make money.

There is no doubt that the control of this financial institution must be in the hands of the German government. There are also various ways to repay loans, such as equity participation or profit sharing! In this way, through financial means, the Kaiser can infiltrate some of his interests, such as farms in Ukraine and oil fields in Baku. This is a slow but deadly process. The purpose of this is to weaken the economic and industrial influence of the Bavarian government. Why is the Bavarian Army so vigorous? One of the most important factors is that people are rich and the industry is good!

"So, Ruprecht, tell me, what will you do when you hear the news?"

After taking a sip of coffee, William II muttered to himself while looking at the file on the desktop. What the German Parliament discusses will definitely reach Ruprecht’s ears. After all, the establishment of the so-called Kingdom of Poland was not achieved overnight. Polish people have long had such public opinion, and this matter must be discussed publicly by the Imperial Parliament. It may be implemented, Ruprecht will certainly have a reaction, but which aspect will it be? Will he communicate with himself first, or will he start to retaliate? What will the Bavarian means of revenge? William II was very interested in this.

The so-called, fighting with others is endless. William II is a man of fierce fighting. Therefore, he likes to challenge. In foreign countries, he regards challenging the British and French empires as his mission, while in China, he has incomparable establishment. The imperial power as his goal.

"If ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Ruprecht was born before the Prussian-Austro-Prussian War, or came from the Austro-Hungarian imperial family, then Prussia would have no chance of winning. But, unfortunately, you were born in what is now Bavaria. . Therefore, you are destined to be a king and not an emperor!” In William II’s diary, he wrote proudly.

At this time, there were some people in Berlin who were as happy as William II. When a siskin looked at the cicada singing on the tree and was eager to try, a birdcatcher held a slingshot and quietly aimed at the siskin!

William II may have realized that some people behind this proposal are planning to kill people with the sword, maybe not, but in the end he took action. In the letter to Prime Minister Holvig, he first affirmed the correctness of this proposal, but At the same time, he said that coordination and more support are still needed.

Regarding the order of William II, Prime Minister Holvig also felt a little uneasy, but in the end he decided to follow the above. With the order of the Kaiser, a political storm sweeping across Germany finally kicked off!
