Chapter 1269: Harboring Evil Intentions 4
By the way, there is another faction that cannot be left unmentioned, and that is the big capitalists and bankers in Germany! These guys are in a very delicate position, first of all, they don't stand directly in the foreground, but no one can ignore their influence! They have money, they have people, and maybe they have a lot of armaments. The spy agency of the prince www.biquge.info of Pen, Fun, and Pavilion investigated the production of certain factories, and found that they sometimes had the problem of high defective rates periodically, and at the same time, the scrap rate of some things returned to the factory for repair was also abnormal, although these things accounted for a small proportion of the total, but considering the huge arms production in Germany, it would be a very frightening figure. Add to that the sheer amount of materials piled up in the warehouses of those factories. Well, it's good and scary! They don't even have to give away these things, just "tell" some people with ulterior motives, and then they can quickly organize an army that looks like something on the surface!
Although they relegated themselves to the background, their purpose was also clear, and the establishment of a bourgeois government was naturally the best. The attitude towards the emperor is unclear. But the prince is sure that they will definitely go down to Bavaria! After all, the strength of the latter directly affects their profits and income, and they have no opportunity or ability in peacetime, and if there is really a big change, it is difficult to say that they will not push it behind!
They didn't want the Social Democrats to be in the forefront, and even if the prince had won, it would not have been easy to move them without solid evidence. So the prince really supported a small fight to some extent. Kill some of the eyesore by the way!
This is not because these capitalists and princes have grabbed money, of course, in the eyes of the other party, this is the most important problem, but from the prince's point of view, the fundamental reason why the prince must have done a fight with the other party is that these guys are too mercenary, and they regard their own interests more than the interests of the country, so well, as the future king, Ruprecht naturally wants to clean them up, not to say how patriotic the British and American capitalists are, but because the German capitalists have gone too far! The production efficiency of Germany in World War 2 has not been able to go up for a long time, and they also have a share of the credit! In a way, it's not too much to be considered an enemy's internal response!
The prince knew very well that no matter how he operated, or what the result was, after the war, the German government would not be the same as before the war, and that the weakening of the power of the emperor was necessary, not only the ideas of the capitalists and the Social Democrats, but also of Ruprecht!
But at the same time, the relative independence of the German states and the position of the Bundestag must not be weakened! Of course, to make it clearer, Bavaria's independence and basic political status cannot be weakened, in fact, except for Bavaria, the Grand Duchy is already the youngest brother of the little brothers, very deferential, Saxony and Württemberg are better, but the military rights are also greatly weakened.
Some people may say that this is tantamount to dividing Germany and will make all parties unpleasant, but in fact the prince can't help it, if he is born into the Prussian royal family, then all problems will be gone. However, the prince is now the crown prince of Bavaria, and the ass decides the head. And to be honest, even if Germany reached World War II, it would never be able to talk about unity, and even the intensity of mobilization and unity was not as good as that of World War 1 during the Kaiser's era. This is not to say that with a unified bourgeois government, the country is really cohesive .......
The mustache was not even as capable of controlling the big capitalists as the Kaiser. And those high-ranking Nazi officials are definitely not as good as the Junker aristocracy of World War I, you can say that the Junker aristocracy finally abandoned the Kaiser, but it can't be said that this class did not do their best! They did have all kinds of problems, but they also gave the blood of 100,000 people to this war, and thousands of families died. Of course, this is also one of the fundamental reasons for the decline of the German aristocracy as a whole.
The German Empire was originally a country lacking national identity and confused beliefs, and it took time to form a cohesive state, to coordinate all sides, to weed out some bad things, and to judge whether a group and force met the requirements of Germany's strength, not by its conflict with other forces, but by whether what he did was conducive to Germany's progress.
At least in terms of productivity development, efficiency, and German expansion, the prince thought he was much better than the capitalists and some of the Junker aristocracy.
In the future, the prince's vision for the Federal Assembly is like this, in the future, the federal parliament should still be above the imperial parliament, with the final veto power, which the prince has always insisted on. Because the Imperial Diet was not a battlefield for kings. It's the territory of the major political parties. It was also the last line of defense to maintain its own interests at the German political level. If the Federal Parliament is deprived and the latter is weakened, then the prince and the Kingdom of Bavaria behind him will have no legal and political guarantees!
At the same time, the prince also needs to pursue the ability to veto conditions to his own disadvantage in the Federal Parliament! Previously, the German Bundestag had a total of 58 seats. Although the Prussians had only 17 seats, they needed three-fourths of the votes to pass according to the principle of an absolute majority in the Federal Parliament, so that Prussia, although theoretically incapable of passing what it wanted to pass, could completely prevent the passage of any resolution against itself, while the Kingdom of Bavaria had only 6 seats. And it is foreseeable that in the future, the number of votes and seats in the Federal Assembly will definitely change!
The reason is simple, because the population base controlled by the countries has changed! And there will definitely be some new Grand Duchy or Duke, or Free City and the like in the future. No way, even historically, the Kaiser did not intend to annex all the acquired lands to Prussia, because the Treaty of Brest had too many things to eat! Historically, Germany had planned to send a German nobleman to Lithuania as a king....... It's just that it didn't succeed because of the defeat of Germany.
If the Bundestag were to be re-elected after the war, it would be appropriate for Bavaria to increase its votes, because the Bavarian population had gone up, and the Kingdom of Bavaria, which had a population of only 8 million in history, now had more than 13 million, and even more when considering the imminent acquisition of Poland and the Germans who had both Bavaria and Bohemian certifications. So if you still have 6 votes, it is obviously inappropriate.
