Chapter 1877: Quasi-federal meeting one
Therefore, in an attitude of being responsible to the empire, Ruprecht believes that he should give Germany a check on the future development of aviation power, the development of guided weapons, and the development of nuclear weapons! By the way, there is also the tank design and production of the Germans cheating! If there are some problems with the development of German aviation power, then there are problems everywhere in the design and production of German tanks... From the initial design, to the various lines of spare parts, to the specific performance of the tank, there are too many places for German tanks to complain! (What do you say about the British tank? The British 2 battle tank has given up treatment, eh.)
Therefore, Ruprecht believes that in order to ensure that the future major engineering projects of the German Empire do not go wrong and can proceed without the influence of the government, Ruprecht must take control of these projects. Certainly a considerable part of the project will use Prussian products, and the prince will try to ensure fairness, but there is one thing! When bidding for these things, it must be carried out in accordance with the standards set by the prince!
"To send a telegram to the Kaiser and the parliament, saying that for the future of the German Empire and to solve the current political problems, I hope they can send representatives to Munich to discuss issues, and at the same time, send invitations to Württemberg, Saxony and all states. They can send representatives to this meeting." Ruprecht thought for a while and said.
"What about the military?" Earl Schelling thought for a while and asked.
"The army will not issue invitations." Ruprecht thought for a while and said. How to deal with the military issue has always been a matter of consideration for the prince, not only the Prussian officer regiment, but also the prince also wants to better control the Bavarian officer regiment. How to ensure that the army can fight and not be overwhelmed is a very important point in internal affairs .
Although this meeting was not a formal negotiation, when all the states within the German Empire participated, the nature of it was different. This is a purely political meeting. If the Prussian army is allowed to send people to participate, then is it necessary to reserve a place for the Bavarian army? So in the future, will the military participate in a meeting? This precedent is very bad! What's more, judging from the current situation, the parliamentary faction and the Kaiser have already had the idea of splitting Prussia, and the officer group will never agree. At this time, for its own benefit, Bavaria must also suppress the officer group!
"What if General Crook they asked?" Earl Schelling asked.
"Then tell them that this meeting is attended by representatives of all states, which is equivalent to a meeting of the Federal Assembly. When will the Federal Assembly allow the military to participate alone as a representative?" Ruprecht said.
"Yes, your highness." Earl Schelling bowed and saluted.
"The last question, who is the initiator of this council?" Earl Schelling asked. Obviously, the initiator of this meeting was Crown Prince Ruprecht, but the publicity on the surface definitely cannot be said to be Bavaria. After all, the Federal Parliament was initiated by Prussia before. They are the emperor.
"Bavaria, and then add the Kaiser and the parliament." Ruprecht said: "In addition, give Albert a hint to them that the representative of Wilhelm II cannot be allowed to participate as the Kaiser representative, only In the name of the representative of the King of the Kingdom of Prussia."
Although Ruprecht said that the Kaiser’s crown should be retained, in fact, this is just a face. Letting the Kaiser to be the honorary head of the entire empire has too many advantages. On the one hand, it is acceptable within Prussia. (Actually, even if the parliament sent them to ask for rights, not necessarily to knock down the crown of the Kaiser on the ground.) On the other hand, as long as Wilhelm II is still the emperor and a king with real power, Then the main attention of the Social Democratic Party will be on Wilhelm II, while Bavaria will not be so hateful.
However, while preserving the Kaiser’s crown, Ruprecht must find ways to weaken the influence of the Kaiser within the entire empire system, just like the situation when Bavaria and Württemberg were arguing about the Kaiser issue. In the same way, the two kingdoms required the Kaiser to recognize that his royal title was a national concept rather than a national concept. In this case, the Kaiser could not interfere with the internal affairs of other states with imperial power. And this time, under the circumstances of the superior situation, Ruprecht is actually telling everyone that from this moment on, in the Reichstag, Wilhelm II and his representative are only representatives of the state, and there is no supremacy. The imperial power!
And this quasi-federal conference is also beneficial to the parliamentary faction. The federal parliament participates in the states within the empire, which is a relatively independent political entity. If the parliamentary faction participates this time, it will become a new When the representative of the established Prussian Federation appeared in the Federal Parliament, it seemed logical.
This is politics, every word and every action has a very deep meaning! Therefore, the key political issue is absolutely to be handled carefully ~www.wuxiaspot.com~, so that you can put the other party together without the other party's knowledge. And if it is not handled well, it is normal to be yin.
After ordering everything, Earl Schelling began to prepare. First, because nominally the three parties convened together, he had to inform the Kaiser and the parliament in secret to make them ready, and then everyone together issued a joint statement. Later, in order to make matters more serious, King Ludwig III of Bavaria suggested that the two kingdoms of Württemberg and Saxony should be brought together. In this case, it would be more formal if the four kingdoms and the parliament convened all federal members together. some.
The first thing to say at this meeting is that it will never discuss Prussia’s internal issues on the face of it. According to later generations, this is Prussian internal affairs and other states have no right to interfere...
The most important topics of this conference are the following. The first is to restore the territories and independence rights of the Mecklenburg-Schwerin Grand Duchy and Mecklenburg-Strelitz Grand Duchy! The prince clearly stated in the statement that the conflict between the Kaiser and the parliament is an internal issue in Prussia and has nothing to do with other states. Therefore, because of the chaos at this time, the two states controlled by the Social Democratic Party must be restored! This is the premise! If anyone disagrees, see you on the battlefield!
This is an important way for Ruprecht to weaken the parliamentary faction and win the prestige of other states in the empire! I believe that once this is implemented, Bavaria will have three additional votes in the Federal Parliament!
The second one is more~~~! Please subscribe for a reward~~~!
