Chapter 2376: Bargain one
Obviously, this time the Kaiser is ready to regain military power! Perhaps this time the incident in the Prussian Federation reminded the Kaiser. Let the German emperor realize that if he has a force that surpasses the armies of other states, he will gain a huge political advantage. And since this army is responsible for most of the foreign war tasks of the entire empire, it will also involve many aspects such as funding, equipment procurement, and personnel selection. The benefits involved are simply too great.
Of course, the Kaiser’s suggestion is reasonable. It is more cost-effective and more efficient to concentrate. This is also the reason why Mooqi supports him. Ruprecht believes that with Mooqi's moral level, he can never do anything that can forcefully interfere with politics with his military power, but he can't do it and does not represent the future German army. The chief of staff will be like little Maoqi. And even if Xiao Maoqi abides by his principle of not participating in politics, his possession of the largest legion in the empire is an advantage in itself as a close minister of the Kaiser!
"We will not talk about the personnel of the Empire’s General Staff, nor about the command. We will now talk about an inevitable and very difficult issue. From now on, there are 3 states bordering Russia in the eastern part of the Empire. The Kingdom of Prussia, the Prussian Federation, and Bavaria. The empire’s forces on the eastern front must be deployed in the vast area from the Gulf of Finland to the south of Ukraine. These empire’s forces will inevitably be stationed in the three states, but historically there is no When this happened, even before the war, except for temporary mobilizations, the Prussian army had not entered Bavaria, Württemberg, and Saxony. Then there is an unavoidable question, whether these imperial troops deployed in the states are in the end. What's the matter?" said Albrecht, Duke of Württemberg.
This time, the Duke gave Xiao Moqi face, and did not mention the command power of the General Staff. According to the principle of who is strong, even if the support of the Prussian military high-level support is included, Xiao Moqi definitely cannot compete with Ruprecht. . War is a serious issue, and so-called exchange of interests and nepotism sometimes do not work!
Just talk about one issue, the issue of the jurisdiction of the military of other states! This problem will not occur in other countries, but who would call it a German characteristic....... For Germany, there has never been any imperial army, the army is all states! The so-called German General Staff did not exist in peacetime, because at that time it was called the Prussian General Staff. In other words, if the Kaiser implements this plan, then the so-called Imperial Army in Bavaria would be considered a violation, because you are Gentile army.
In peacetime, the Prussian army cannot be permanently stationed in a kingdom-level state like Bavaria. As for the permanent Prussian army in Bavaria? Don't talk about William II. His grandfather William I didn't even think about it! Not to mention now! Because this behavior is almost unbearable to kingdom-level states. Because they have their own army!
There is no doubt that this suggestion made by the Kaiser directly interferes with the sovereignty of various states. Well, to be clear, it interferes with the sovereignty of Bavaria. Leaving aside this political and face issue, let’s take a step back and say, even if the two sides reach a complicated agreement to avoid political issues, there are still too many difficulties in actual operation!
Bavaria is now in charge of two defense areas, one is part of the defense areas of Belarus and Ukraine, and the other is the Transcaucasus region... For Prussia, the Transcaucasus defense zone is an enclave! If you want to transport troops and personnel, you have to cross Bavaria first. This is not a problem. After all, everyone is a country, but then you have to cross the entire Austrian Ukraine region! Then board the boat on the Black Sea and finally arrive in the Transcaucasus!
Australia-Hungary is also an empire anyway. In the future, the status of the arena will definitely be higher than that of France. How can your Kaiser NB say that you pass it through? Even if the Austrian Emperor agrees, arranging transportation is also a problem. After all, if there is a large-scale mobilization in this era, it will be at least the transportation of troops and equipment of more than 200,000 levels. Prussia has no experience in large-scale mobilization within the Austro-Hungarian Empire. It's not a problem! And the most important thing is that sometimes, the Austro-Hungarian Empire is not so easy to talk for its own sovereignty and interests!
But Bavaria is different. After all, Ruprecht is the husband of the next Austrian emperor and the regent of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Before the war, Bavaria and the Austro-Hungarian Empire had close cooperation. China has conducted many large-scale long-range maneuvers. Therefore, if something happens in the Transcaucasus, the Bavarian Army wants to enter the Transcaucasia through the Austro-Hungarian Empire and there is almost no problem, and maybe before the Bavarian Army arrives, the Austro-Hungarian Army will go to www.wuxiaspot.com ~ This is no problem, the Bavarian Army and the Austrian Army can almost be seamlessly connected!
"Military issues, I think everyone should be able to understand when you look at the map. I won’t say more. Let’s talk about peacetime issues. If, I mean, if the imperial army breaks the law or happens in the area of the Kingdom of Bavaria. Conflict, who is in the hands of the trial?" Ruprecht asked.
The army is a special group. Even if there is a violation of the law, the judicial power is generally not in the judicial system. At least in the Bavarian legal system, the army has privileges. Even in a civil case, once something goes wrong, it is handed over to the military court for trial. Well, now there is a question, if the imperial army belonging to the imperial general staff breaks the law in Bavaria, who will be the right to judge?
"Grass!" Xiao Maoqi frowned involuntarily. He had talked about this issue before when he was in discussions with the Kaiser, but he has never come up with a solution. After all, according to German practice, the judicial power of various countries is also the same. Own, if things happen within the state, it is difficult for Prussia or the imperial government to intervene. This is why Ruprecht assured that Crook and others would not be held accountable after the war. The big deal goes to Bavaria, as long as the crown prince does not nod, no one can take them! Because you have no law enforcement power!
This seems a bit difficult to understand, but think about the American emperor in later generations, as long as the laws of the states do not conflict with the laws of the federal government, they can be implemented in accordance with the laws of the states. In Germany, the rights and independence of the states are obviously greater!
