Chapter 1858: Split one
"The situation is now obvious. We can't achieve our goals on the old system, and we can't destroy this system! Then we have only one way." Bart looked at his colleagues and weighed them for a long time and finally decided Give out this suggestion that might make him irreversible!
"We can refer to the division of Rome!" Barthes said within a few seconds, causing at least 5 minutes of silence on the scene! Everyone knows what Barthes said, and they are all considering the possibility of this!
Isn’t the so-called partition of Rome that in 395, the Roman Empire became the two Romes of the East and the West? And what Barthes said refers to the division of Rome, which is also about turning Prussia into two countries.
"So, you mean to turn Prussia into two countries, a Prussian federation controlled by a political party, and the other a Prussian kingdom controlled by the emperor? This will make the entire empire lose a core of power! The empire will be scattered." Ai Bert said.
"It's just changing the empire from duality to ternary. Even if Prussia does not split, it loses its ability to contain Bavaria in the south. After the war, Bavaria and the southern German states can easily veto everything they do not want to accept. In terms of strength, Bavaria, which covers an area of more than 300,000 square kilometers, and whose national strength is comparable to France, will not be subject to us economically, not to mention, with Austria’s backing. All this is determined. If we want to after the war If you want to make the empire stronger, you can only choose cooperation with Bavaria instead of confrontation." Barth said.
To make an empire strong, either there must be a powerful center of power that can overwhelm everything, or the mountains within the empire can cooperate with each other. For Prussia now, it is no longer possible to conquer everything with strength. What if Prussia is complete? Bavaria and Austria-Hungary will not undermine Prussia either economically or politically. So when things are impossible, then you can only choose to cooperate, and in Barth's view, the future heir of the Kingdom of Bavaria has done a very good job in important matters!
"The number of votes in the Federal Assembly is directly proportional to the population. After the war, the total population of Bavaria is estimated to be about 27 million. This includes the 13 million native population before the war, as well as Poland, Belarus, and Ukraine. The total population of the empire will exceed 110 million. Proportionally, Bavaria should get a quarter of the vote. Even if the votes are compressed to a certain extent, like Prussia, then as long as another kingdom agrees to Bavaria If the proposal is made, then no resolution will be passed." Barthes began to analyze the problem from the perspective of the Federal Parliament.
"After the split Prussia, neither we nor the Kaiser have the right to veto. We can only accept unfavorable resolutions for us," Albert said. The population of Prussia after the war was 40 million. If an equal division occurs, the population of each kingdom will be about 20 million. If the new territories are included, the population will increase a bit, but how many territories can be divided between the two kingdoms is all An unknown number! Even if it is now under the control of the Prussian army, it is not known how to divide it after the war. If you consider that the strong states should even out their votes to the weak states (because their population is not even one vote!), no matter if it is the divided Kingdom of Prussia or the Prussian Federation, their votes are not It will be a quarter, and far from it! After all, in history, the federal parliament has 58 votes, and Prussia has 17 votes. If there are half of the votes, 9 votes are the highest!
"This may be the only bad thing." Barthes thought for a while and said. “Let’s imagine the situation of the Federal Assembly after the war. If there are 64 votes in total, the Kingdom of Prussia, the Prussian Federation and Bavaria are the three largest states, each with 9 votes. Württemberg and Saxony The number remains unchanged, that is 4 votes per person. After the war, Württemberg will definitely join Bavaria, which means that the crown prince can have at least 13 votes. Saxony will also prefer Bavaria, and their votes are enough. !"
(The statistics of 64 votes are like this. It is reasonable for Bavaria to increase from 6 votes to 9 votes with the increase in population. After all, the population has doubled, and the number of votes has increased by 50%. 60%, with 17 votes, the population ratio has not changed much after the war, so it is still around 17 votes, but considering that the two countries are divided and have the same status, then 18 votes can be equally divided. The three states are all first-rate states, and 9 votes per person is acceptable. This adds 4 votes, and the remaining two additional votes are reserved for new states that may emerge~www.wuxiaspot .com~Of course, the total may change, this is just a rough analysis.)
"Even if we can change the number of votes in the Federal Assembly to two-thirds, it is impossible! After all, in addition to the three kingdoms that are now more grouped, Bavaria will have a strong foreign aid in the north. This foreign aid is May. Kronborg-the Grand Duchy of Schmerlin and the Grand Duchy of Strelitz of Mecklenburg!" Barth said.
Who said that a family cannot have two fiefs? In addition to the historical Habsburg family, there are also within the Second German Empire, such as the Mecklenburg family. In fact, this family has 3 branches, one of which disappeared due to extinction, and in the German Empire After its establishment, the remaining two family branches are both at the Grand Duchy level. Among them, the area of the Mecklenburg-Schmallin Grand Duchy is not small, covering 13,000 square kilometers, which is about the size of Saxony. The other Grand Duchy of Mecklenburg Strelitz is much worse, only more than 2,000 square kilometers...
"These two Grand Duchys can also bring 3 votes to Bavaria." Albert Feature nodded in agreement. After all, Bavaria asked the parliament to give up control of non-Prussian states, and Crown Prince Ruprecht was even more so. Unmistakable support for the restoration of the Mecklenburg family, this matter has almost become a certainty. No matter the future changes, the two major duchy under the Mecklenburg family have been branded with Bavaria. In the future In the Federal Parliament, he will also be tied to his benefactor.
