Chapter 1871: consensus

The so-called words are not speculative. After confirming the attitude of the other party, Knowles got up and said goodbye. On the way back, he already knew what the future Social Democratic Party needs to do, that is, he must do something to the German Army Corps. Up!

And three days later, when the Grand Duke of Baden and Barthe met again, the atmosphere of the talks became more harmonious, because before their meeting, they had known a lot of things to each other, and the Grand Duke of Baden knew about the parliamentarians. People and the military have contacted, but the result is very bad. At the same time, the parliamentary faction also learned through their own channels that Xiao Maoqi had also run into a wall with the officers. Of course, more importantly, both the Kaiser and the parliament knew that the officer regiment had political ambitions. This is unacceptable for both parties! Therefore, let other issues be excluded for the time being, and both parties must kick out this third party who is planning to participate in German politics!

　　 "The imperial government can be shared by the emperor, nobles and all classes, but the army, as the guardian of order, should be as far away from politics as possible." Grand Duke Baden said first.

　　 "This is the case, and the consolidation of the military class is absolutely not good for the empire. Some old nobles have existed in the army for generations, and various relationships are intertwined. It is time to inject some fresh blood into the army." Bar Feature nodded in agreement.

"I suggest that the army be divided into two parts, one is the mobile force of the empire, subordinate to the imperial government, and the other part is owned by the states. The former is used for foreign operations, and the latter is mainly used for domestic and colonial crises. "Barth put forward his own opinion.

"This is impossible. Don't forget. In addition to Prussia, the German Empire has other kingdoms. I have troops in my hands. In peacetime, there are not many troops in other kingdoms except Bavaria. Generally, the number of troops is only 1 to 2. As an army, this arrangement will make the troops very scattered. Moreover, the Kingdom of Bavaria absolutely does not agree to allocate a part of the troops they support for use by the central government of the Empire.” Grand Duke Baden decisively rejected Barthes’ proposal.

　　 As the Grand Duke of Baden said, Barthes's proposal is not operative at all. What is the first rule of the army in the German Empire? The army is owned by the kingdom! In theory, the German Empire has no imperial army at all. They are all made up of states such as Prussia, Bavaria, Württemberg and Saxony! The kingdom is responsible for the supply and expenses of the army. If the states of Wurttemberg and Saxony use Prussian funds, it is possible to talk about it, then Bavaria is completely impossible! After all, why should someone else command an army that is raised by oneself? This principle is fine in Germany! It belongs to the category of political correctness!

　　And the most important thing is that the Bavarian Legion has formed its own system. If the Imperial Army wants the Bavarian Legion to join, then two sets of logistical supply systems are needed. As for the fact that one is okay? In terms of efficiency, Bavaria’s equipment system is the best, but the Prussian Arms Chamber of Commerce has turned a lot of noise, and if you want to use Prussia, Bavaria will never do it! Therefore, whether from a political or operational point of view, it is impossible to make an army and National Guard similar to the Americans!

"We have contacted the Bavarian side on military matters. The aviation power will be divided into three parts. The first part is the naval aviation directly under the navy, including sea-based aviation and carrier aviation. Bombers, reconnaissance aircraft and transport aircraft will form the strategic air force. , It belongs to the central government of the Empire. The army units of each state will be assigned to the army aviation units of the army."

"The army is usually under the responsibility of the general staff of the country to which it belongs, and there will be a military committee subordinate to the country to manage it. The military committee will be composed of state leaders and government officials. This military committee will be responsible for the empire. The three armies of the sea, land and air are under unified management." Prince Baden said.

　　 "This structure is very good, we need to go back and carefully consider the details, but we still can't break the officer's monopoly on the upper echelon." Baer nodded and said. No way, Barthes is a politician who knows nothing about military affairs. After returning, he will ask Buhler, the only professional soldier among the top parliamentarians, to see what this guy thinks.

"The newly established navy, land and aviation forces and the strategic air force themselves exist outside the old officer regiment system. As for the inside of the army? This change will be a relatively long process. We must first ensure that after the war, those other classes The officers of the army can stay in the army. Of course, there is a more direct way to split the officers directly. I wonder if you thought of it?" Grand Duke Baden gave a mysterious smile.

　　 "A more direct way?" Barthes frowned slightly.

　　 "In fact, we can't completely overwhelm each other, and whether it is the emperor or the parliament, we all want to completely control the power, so is there a way that can take into account our needs?" Grand Duke Baden said.

　　 "I still don't understand what you mean~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Barthes seems to have guessed some, but still don't want to explain.

　　 "A.D. 395, Rome!" Grand Duke Baden reminded him.

"Hehe, if I remember correctly, then this year, the huge Roman Empire became two empires of East and West. History says that the Roman Empire was split, and the Eastern Roman Empire died within a short period of time, while the Western Roman Empire continued. Thousands of years until the rise of the Ottoman Turk Empire!" Barthes now understands what the Grand Duke Baden is thinking, which coincides with him! That is, the Kaiser also wanted to realize his absolute rights in certain areas by splitting Prussia!

The Kaiser finally took this step. In the recent period of time, the Kaiser was under tremendous pressure from their supporters. They demanded that the Kaiser must ensure that the original system can be implemented within the empire and that the nobles must master it. Power and privileges. And this part of the support mainly comes from the region where Prussia belonged before 1815. In other words, East Prussia where the old Junker nobles gathered! They claim that the monarch and the nobles are one body. If the king cannot guarantee the interests of the nobles, then the nobles cannot support the king. In this case, there are not many basic German emperors who have almost no other choice! Can only agree to their request.

　　 If you want to guarantee these, the only way is to exclude the influence of Social Democratic Party! According to this principle, the only feasible method at present is to divide Prussia! The Kingdom of Prussia, dominated by emperors and nobles, and Federal Prussia, dominated by parliament and political parties!
