Chapter 28: The Prime Minister Who Looks on the Sidelines (Part 2)

"It seems that our Bavarian prince has obtained everything he wants! Bavarian armor monopolized the market for the imperial navy's armor, and he also extended its acquisition into the shipbuilding industry, and the Brom-Forss shipyard agreed with Prince Ruprecht for some purpose. And their design was also adopted by the Admiralty. This year, the performance of the long-dormant kingdom in the south has made the whole of Germany look sideways. "Herbert. Bismarck said with some concern, because in the Imperial Game of Thrones, a new player who doesn't know friend or foe joins, originally this player has strength, but he has no idea, but this time is different, the first shot is extraordinary!

"You think they've got everything?" The old prime minister, who was sitting down, seemed to have heard a very ridiculous thing. "No, no, no! This is just the beginning, they have gained a lot of benefits on their own, and these benefits attract them like old wine, and they will take them even further! ”

"It's not a good sign." Herbert frowned and said dissatisfied. "This will spur other kingdoms, Württemberg and Saxony, although they are not as large and populous as Bavaria, but they have a very developed industry and textile industry, and the results of Bavaria may make them covet some of the empire's industries as well."

"Do not equate the German Empire with the Prussian Empire, for the interests of the Empire the Kingdom of Prussia is required to make a partial transfer of rights. As long as it does not affect the basic plate of the Empire, then it is permissible, the Prussian army is the army of the Empire, is it not the army of Bavaria, Württemberg and Saxony the army of the Empire? Your disgust is fundamentally that you think they have taken away the cake that originally belonged to Prussia! ”

"Will Bavaria's involvement affect the domestic and foreign affairs of the Empire? Prince Ruprecht and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince have a very good personal relationship, and the Kingdom of Bavaria also holds 6 votes in the Federal Parliament! Will they affect your rights? Herbert asked.

"It's going to have an impact, and it's a good one! Because I have what they need in my hands! Iron-blooded said with a heart full of confidence.

"They're going to be involved in more areas?" Herbert said with some surprise.

"That's nature, everything you say is what they've gotten, long before the prince came to Berlin, it was finalized. And what they want to get is going to be exchanged from me! From the current point of view, the two sides are still trustworthy, the speed of expansion of the navy is still under our control, the cooperation between the two sides is starting very well, and now I am somewhat looking forward to what kind of exchange interest the little guy will propose. "The Prime Minister is not at all worried about his current situation, and he is full of confidence in front of his son.

But deep down, he still couldn't figure out what this little guy, or the Bavarian royal family, wanted to get. Truth be told, although he thinks his proposed plan for agricultural aid in exchange for political support is attractive, he still has fifteen buckets on his mind until the other side agrees.

Although Bismarck is still in power, it is completely different from that of Wilhelm I, when the old emperor was unreservedly trusted! With the support of the monarchy, his position is very secure, but now, the new emperor does not trust him, and the only reason why he can sit in this position is that His Majesty the Emperor has not found a more suitable candidate! Having lost the unreserved support of the monarchy, his position is not secure, so he urgently needs to find allies, especially from outside Prussia!

"So what do you intend to get from Bavaria?" Herbert asked.

"As long as they are on our side in the Federal Assembly. I want to increase the government's investment in education, health, welfare, and construction to absorb the surplus capital of the empire, rather than turning them into warships prematurely. The sentiment of the people of the empire was somewhat too radical, and if it was not well guided, the government would be hijacked by public opinion. I'm going to stop this from happening. Bismarck's eyes flashed with concern.

The Naval Association seems to have appeared a little earlier than history. (Because the author doesn't know exactly when this association was founded!) This association is not like a trade association in the ordinary sense of the word, where the top is made up of capitalists and bankers and some powerful aristocratic bureaucrats, and the middle level is influenced intellectuals. The lower strata were fanatical German nationals. Stable structure, well-defined hierarchical division. Have ideals and goals! There is money, there is a root class! Such a dynamic social community had a great influence on the German regime!

"To a certain extent, it is enough for me that they remain neutral, the Federal Parliament is inseparable, the votes of the kingdoms and principalities are tied and cannot be disassembled, while the Imperial Parliament is much easier to deal with. Can divide and disintegrate. The Prime Minister paused and continued.

"Don't you think that getting along with the Bavarian royal family now is a good thing for your future development? I'm going to grow old eventually, you can't be prime minister, but the Wittelsbach family will always be royal! After all, we are only the stewards of the Empire, and they are the masters of the Empire! There is also a hint of helplessness in the Prime Minister's words, even if the Prime Minister is in power, he is only the presiding officer and spectator of the Federal Parliament. He can only propose a resolution, but not finalize it!

The first cooperation is just an appetizer, and the latter cooperation is the key, His Royal Highness got the order, got on good terms with the crown prince, met the main members of the royal family, got to know the shipyard, and played around Berlin, now it's time to come and talk to yourself.

As expected by the Prime Minister, the traverser did intend to talk to the prime minister, but what was somewhat different from what the prime minister thought was that what the traverser wanted to talk to the prime minister about this time was not just an exchange of interests! This time, he will make some proposals from the point of view of the Empire! Not to mention that it can reverse the tide of history, at least it can make Germany jump for a little longer! After all, the affairs of Germany cannot be separated from the current Chancellor!

"Iron-blooded Prime Minister, he has created a German Empire that will be admired by countless German fans in later generations." When he saw the schedule sent by Count Schelling, the traverser couldn't help but be a little excited, although the traverser was not a German fan, but he still respected this old man who created a world-class power. Of course, in addition to respect, what is more important is that he can bring more benefits to himself! The cooperation between the German Chancellor and the Kingdom of Bavaria was absolutely mutually beneficial, the Chancellor needed the votes of the kingdom, and the kingdom needed the policy tilt of the empire!
