Chapter 1868: Military and Politics II

So is it possible to abolish the emperor within the German Empire in peacetime? History has given us the answer! In 1900, the emperor was warned that if he took another wrong step, it would cause the princes of the German states and the parliament to jointly launch a court coup! Forcing him to declare "I am no longer fit to rule a country!"

　　 Although some of the actions of the Kaiser on this plane have converged, the so-called convergence is only to face the nobles above the Grand Duchy. For Crook's level, it can still be said to do whatever they want! Therefore, Crook and others believed that William II had limited abilities from a public point of view, but from a private point of view they were full of resentment towards the emperor's actions.

"His Majesty the Emperor is willing to give up personal veto power to the parliament. We can form an advisory group, and then his majesty and the advisory group will have the veto power over the parliament and the prime minister. In this way, we can not be subject to the parliament, and at the same time, we can prevent your majesty Do those excessive things." Xiao Maoqi said.

　　 "Then how do the members of the advisory board choose? Will it be appointed by William II?" Crook's words revealed his disdain for this statement.

"From the perspective of the empire, we ourselves have a negative attitude towards the nobility holding too much administrative power, just like we don’t like monopoly capital to control the country’s economy, we don’t want to let the emperor and a handful of people around him Control the power. There are still checks and balances on power. The Royal House and the Lower House of the Imperial Parliament can already restrict the power of political parties. His Majesty the Emperor does not need to review the political situation." Admiral Howson said.

　　I really thought these big guys like Crook were smoking and playing mahjong in the Frederick III barracks during this time? People are also constantly thinking about the future! There is one thing Xiao Maoqi said right, that is, when people taste the taste of rights, most people will be addicted to it! The actions of Crook and others can be said to be planned for rights, or for self-protection. After all, the military's position in this incident is very embarrassing. The result of the two parties is that both sides are offended. For military personnel, the parliamentary faction is a villain who stabbed a knife in the back, and the German emperor is not a tyrant? So if you want to be alone, you have to be hard enough!

The triple parliamentary system proposed by Bavaria is a very good choice in Crooker's eyes. The Federal Parliament is higher than the Reichstag. The Reichstag is divided into an upper house dominated by political parties and a lower house dominated by meritorious personnel, because the latter is not only accessible to nobles. , Other classes can also enter, so I don’t want the Prussian parliament and the British aristocracy to be as opposed to others.

　　Any major decisions of the Empire must be passed by both the Federal Assembly and the Imperial Assembly before it can take effect. However, Crook's high-level army directly transformed into the lower house of the Imperial Parliament and became members after the war. After all, they are the leaders of the group army, there is no credit and hard work.

With the guarantee of the members of the House of Commons, Crook and others are considered stable. After all, the Reichsmen can be elected as long as they can get a certain number of votes. With the endorsement of the Bavarian royal family, it is really not difficult to get enough votes. ! And because of the guarantee in the imperial system, Crook and others didn't care about the so-called guarantee by the Kaiser, which allowed them to look at the problem from a more fair perspective.

To be honest, from the perspective of fairness and efficiency, the Kaiser’s establishment of an advisory group within the Kingdom of Prussia and the right to dissolve the parliament is really detrimental to the kingdom. If a resolution is to be passed, the prime minister must also refer to the upper and lower parliaments. The opinions of the two houses and the advisory group, and the Kaiser and the parliament are incompatible. The cost of this decision is too high, so Crook and others are open to rejecting this suggestion.

But in fact, Crook and others were politically immature. They rejected the opinions put forward by the other party. However, they did not put forward their own views on the political situation in Prussia, which seemed too passive. Of course, Crook and others Another idea is that the army belongs to the empire, even if it involves politics, it is operated at the empire level, rather than directly affecting the political situation of the kingdom. This made them feel helpless, and Crook and others also overestimated the integrity of the Kaiser and the parliament! When the German emperor and the parliament found that the military had reached out to politics and had a tendency to end up being big, holding a gun could directly threaten their existence. The two sides could choose to temporarily abandon their differences without hesitation. Find a solution to the army!

　　 "Then General Klug, what do you think of the military's position in German society? To whom are you loyal?" Xiao Maoqi said with an ugly face.

　　 "We are loyal to the country, loyal to the nation." Admiral Crook said.

"This statement is not enough to win people's trust. You are not loyal to the imperial government or the emperor. On the contrary, you have to occupy a certain seat in the parliament. You are in control of the military and have the ability to do politics. This is in line with the Imperial General Staff. The establishment is the opposite!" Xiao Maoqi said.

"The future war will involve the country as a whole~www.wuxiaspot.com~ There is a saying within the military that it is to build a popular politically enthusiastic army. This will allow us to better deal with the future situation." For Xiao Maoqi’s accusation, Crook is also difficult to answer, because although the German military has decided to intervene in politics, they still don't know what they are doing. It's simple to find a reason, but in actual operation, they can't help but tilt toward the military in political operations. And Xiao Maoqi's worries are justified!

"Then I want to ask you a question, a digression, and it has nothing to do with what I just said. If a new government is formed through negotiations in the future, can the army guarantee unconditional obedience to the government's orders?" Xiao Maoqi stabilized. Asked his emotions.

Obviously, the issue of Xiao Moqi was very sensitive. In the era of the German Emperor, although soldiers participated in some political operations, they still obeyed the emperor’s administrative orders. But now, when Crook and others do not think so, they Believe that neither the emperor with poor means nor the parliamentary faction who shoots black guns behind can not completely dominate the army!

　　 "I think there are some problems that we need to think about by ourselves." Crook said carefully. "Moreover, if everyone agrees that we can serve as councillors, why can't we be in politics?"

"If you agree that there can be people from all walks of life in the imperial government, why do you have to be so concerned about the identity of a soldier? In my opinion, the identity of a soldier is no different from entrepreneurs, financiers, and scientists." Admiral Howson said .
