Chapter 1778: Before the Storm II

"Prince Ruprecht is a great military commander. It is impossible for him not to know the consequences of his concentration of hundreds of thousands of troops into Hungary. This will cause the Bavarian Army to be unable to interfere in German internal affairs in a short period of time. His choice It may be that he has stated his position. It also shows that there is no understanding between him and the Kaiser. Otherwise, if he has ideas about the domestic political situation, he will at least guarantee that he has a relatively powerful military force in his hands."

　　 "This can also be explained by the navy's response. If I say that Crown Prince Ruprecht has more influence on the navy than us, don't you have any opinions?" Buhler asked.

"No problem. According to the intelligence of our personnel in the Kiel area, the Bavarians in the navy are loyal to the crown prince. Among them are senior officers like Hipper, while Scheer and other Prussian officers, especially naval officers, are loyal to the crown prince. It is also very respectful." Albert said.

"So, if Crown Prince Ruprecht really intends to intervene in the situation in Germany, then part of the navy will at least start preparing. Even if Scheer and others do not participate, they will not interfere with Hipper and stay. The actions of Bavarian military personnel at the naval base. Because Scheer itself is in a swing." Buhler said.

"So, my opinion is that the Kaiser and Crown Prince Ruprecht did not reach an understanding, and Bavaria was unwilling to get involved in Prussian internal issues. So he did not use his influence in the navy, and the Bavarian Army also invested In the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Although the views of my colleagues in the center and I are somewhat different, the final conclusion is the same. Now, the best time for us to act!" Buhler said.

"However, our ultimate goal is to establish a parliamentary government in Germany. Isn't this fundamentally opposed to the kings? I don't believe that the wise crown prince did not realize this. He is sitting on the sidelines and is actually the most to us. Favorable, then is he not afraid that we will be disadvantaged to them afterwards?" Landsberg raised this question again, and similar questions he raised in almost every meeting. And this time he said this question that made him uneasy.

"So, the fundamental goal of our action this time is to seize control of Prussia and to strengthen the power of the imperial parliament to a limited extent, but the independence of the federal parliament and the kingdoms should be retained for the time being," Albert said. This is the first time Albert has clearly stated his purpose. Before, he was also entangled between the seizure of rights within the Kingdom of Prussia and the seizure of rights throughout Germany. But this time, he finally communicated, giving up the latter's unrealistic goal.

"Do you want to use this attitude in exchange for the neutrality of other states? If the Federal Assembly does not make adjustments, then even if we get the rights within the Kingdom of Prussia, then we will at best reject suggestions that are unfavorable to us. It cannot pass the resolution we want to pass. Even if the power of the Reichstag is strengthened, it still cannot compete with the Bundestag. Moreover, as a political party determined to establish a strong central government, our centrist still treats an oversized state like Bavaria Very dissatisfied," Barthes said.

　　 "That is better than failure. If we want to move the Bundestag, then Bavaria and other states will definitely stand on the opposite side of us. At that time, we have absolutely no chance of winning." Albert said. "As for your hostility to the Kingdom of Bavaria? I can only say that this problem is the result of the beginning of the empire, and it cannot be changed in a short time. And Bavaria is no longer a big deal. They have too many choices. , Even the army is reluctant to have a head-on conflict with the Kingdom of Bavaria."

In this era, in Germany, the political party is so weak. Whether it is history or this dimension, the consolidation of his rights cannot be separated from the support of the army. This is why in history Albert had to reach a compromise with the army after he took power. , Saying that it will not interfere with the internal problems of the army, otherwise, without the army, the Social Democratic centrist and right wing led by Albert really cannot deal with the left wing...

　　 And this plane is the same. If you are against the Kaiser, then some people in the army will support Albert, and most of them may ride the fence. At that time, if you want to fight against Bavaria for the authority of the national government, it is estimated that no one with a brain will support it.

　　 This is another reason why Albert and others believe that Bavaria may be neutral, because he has no fear and is not afraid of being liquidated! Whether the Kaiser won or the Parliament won, what can be done with Bavaria? Recently, the Kaiser and Bavaria have been very unhappy because of the new territorial issue, so this directly determines Bavaria’s dissatisfaction with the Kaiser, and the reason for contacting the Kaiser can also be attributed to the worry that things are really going to be big. If the situation that the Allies could have won becomes a defeat, everyone will lose!

　　 "I feel ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ If necessary, we can send representatives to visit Prince Ruprecht to show our attitude." Landsberg said.

　　 "I think it is necessary, but it should be after the incident. Time is tight now, and each of us has our own things to do, and we can't find a person with enough weight." Albert thought for a while and said.

　　 "Has the timing of this action been set?" Barthes asked.

"After five days of action, we will simultaneously launch in Berlin, Brandenburg, Potsdam, Wittenberg, Magdeburg, Hamburg, Hanover, Kiel, Weimar and other places at the same time, first of all, citizens’ strikes. And march, and then seize the rights of the local government. In this process, we can try our best to use peaceful means without using violence. Then we will set up a new government in the Berlin Reichstag, and we will try to control the traffic, production, and materials in these areas. And to deal with possible counterattacks." Buhler said.

　　 "Then what about our personnel in Danze and Königsberg?" Barthes asked. He was very dissatisfied with this plan, and felt that the scope was a bit small.

"Concentrated in the Berlin area, East Prussia is the base camp of Mackensen and the lair of the Junker nobles. The probability of our success is not high, and it is easy to stimulate Mackensen. You know, he is a **** royalist. And the logistical strength there is not something we can fight against. Rather than putting a limited force on the battlefield that will be defeated, it is better to concentrate and stabilize the most important basic board!" Buhler said.
