phone-reading

"To be more clear, we must prevent the British from falling to the United States. The British have a vast colony. The Americans are the most powerful industrial industry in the world. It will be terrible if the two countries join forces. National strength can be seen from the support provided to us in this war. They have reasons for cooperation. The British need Americans to fight us, and the Americans need Britain as a bridgehead to contain Germany. The British colonies are also very important for Americans. Attraction. So at this time, we can't give them another motivation to approach!" Grand Duke Baden said.

　　 "If I leave this task to you, can you do it well?" The Kaiser thought for a while and asked. The implication was that it would work if Grand Duke Baden was in charge of the negotiations. In fact, in negotiations between hostile countries, except for the final signing, the real bosses will not always go on duty. The Kaiser will not go back, and Ruprecht will actually not talk about this matter for a long time. After all, the big guys still have a lot to do. How can there be time for marathon negotiations? The Grand Duchy of Baden is fine, after all, the Grand Duchy of Baden is actually not big... There are relatively few things.

　　 As for giving it to the Social Democratic Party? That is impossible! What a historic thing it is to sign the victorious armistice agreement! With such a glorious matter, how could the Kaiser agree to let the parliament send the head? For the Kaiser, it is better to fulfill Bavaria than to let the parliamentarians who are traitors in his eyes take away this honor!

"The negotiation problem will not last too long. After all, the British have no bargaining power. But before the negotiation, we need to communicate with Crown Prince Ruprecht on some matters. I think it is not as good as the Crown Prince in this respect, so I can As a representative, you must listen to the opinions of His Royal Highness Ruprecht on fundamental issues.” Grand Duke Baden thought for a while and said. "Of course, as the emperor of the German Empire, your opinion must also be taken seriously. I will seek a balance between the two."

"What you said is very reasonable. In fact, we and Bavaria and even parliamentarians are the same on many issues regarding negotiations with the Allied Powers. The only difference is the level of punishment against Britain, and this is not impossible. "Talk." William II paused and said: "Compared with the negotiation with the British, I think the most difficult thing is the distribution of benefits after the war. The German Empire is not the time when Prussia had an absolute advantage in the past. Now, any interest will eventually be divided among the three, and once it involves interest issues, it is very difficult to handle. Moreover, the empire cannot monopolize all overseas colonies. We can not give it to Turkey, but Austria-Hungary is absolutely impossible. Past."

　　 When it comes to the Austro-Hungarian Empire, William II’s mood is very complicated. If there is no marriage between Ruprecht and Princess Mary, then the two parties can do business by business. But the problem now is that, to some extent, Bavaria and the Austro-Hungarian Empire are one! At least for decades. So the question is, what exactly does Ruprecht think on this issue? Is the benefit to Austria-Hungary and the benefit to Bavaria really so clear? This marriage is like a glue, connecting the separated Germany and the Austro-Hungarian Empire together. So, many things are even more troublesome!

"We must at least symbolically set aside a colony in Africa for the Austro-Hungarian Empire, although they only participated in the final attack. Even if it is a reward for the Austro-Hungarian Empire on the eastern front, and a face for Bavaria." Baden thought. I thought about it.

　　What is compensation for the Eastern Front? This is easy to understand! To be honest, looking at the entire Eastern Front, when the Prussian first group has the largest number of troops, it does not exceed the strength of two group armies. Bavaria's initial force is 2 group armies up, and it is more than enough to even form 4 group armies at the end. And the Austro-Hungarian Empire has done its best on the Eastern Front. In fact, if the principle of equal pay for equal work is followed, other German states will never get so many territories, and these things are not given for nothing. Since the German states are in the east The line took more things, so in the same way, the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the Bavarian Army should be compensated for the issue of Britain and France on the Western Front. Otherwise, how can everyone play happily in the future?

In fact, from the perspective of contacts with the Austro-Hungarian Empire and Bavaria, Ruprecht is not very interested in allowing the Austro-Hungarian Empire to occupy the African colonies. After all, there are too few Austro-Hungarians, but 48 million (compared to The population of the historically large population once again swallowed a lot of Russia's land, and the core ethnic group is seriously insufficient. In this case, the Austro-Hungarian Empire is not so persistent in the territories of distant Africa, and it may be more of a face problem.

　　 So the colony issue is the easiest to negotiate. It is precisely for this reason that the Grand Duke Baden answered so simply~www.wuxiaspot.com~ The real core issue is the distribution of compensation! You must know that in this war, even Germany and Austria, as the victors, have suffered heavy losses. Military expenses, bonds and loans have to be repaid. These things are to some extent more powerful than the British and French aircraft cannons! And want to count on the reparations of Britain and France after the war can completely make up for the war losses between Germany and Austria? Let's go to sleep. In fact, even if the number stipulated in the treaty exceeds the German and Austrian war expenditures, it is impossible to get these things back in practice!

　　 Look at the historical part of the Versailles peace treaty against Germany, the war reparations that the Germans have to pay, and then look at the subsequent reductions and exemptions, and after the 2nd World War, Germany continues to pay the 1st war reparations, you can clearly understand this problem! The British simply can't spend so much money, even if they sell Buckingham Palace! Even to put it in a bad way, if you want to raise so much money in a short time, even if the British have the help of the United States, you can't do it. After all, the currency of this era is linked to precious metals, and the total amount of precious metals is limited. !

Well, in the case of limited compensation, how to allocate these compensations has become a very serious problem. This is not only a problem between the Big Three and a group of younger brothers in Germany, but also involves the two countries of Germany and Austria. problem. The so-called brothers clearly settle accounts, and individuals can make trouble because of money problems, let alone the country? Especially when a brother in his family and the opposite Austro-Hungarian Empire are still one family... Sometimes the German emperor really wants to ask Ruprecht, are you German or Austrian?
