Chapter 1266: Harboring Evil Intentions 1
The prince had long ago weighed in his mind the problems he might encounter and the possibility of breaking the game. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 If Germany had won a victory, and if there had been no great upheaval in Prussia, the prince could have been assured that he would in the end be nothing more than a king of the Kingdom of Bavaria and the power of Bohemian-Moravia. His wife may not even be able to carry the crown of the Kingdom of Austria on her head. Because the Kaiser will never allow it! Fierce confrontations are possible. After fighting a foreign war, you have to risk fighting a civil war? The prince didn't want to. Because the result could be that everyone is finished, or Bavaria is finished.
Therefore, even if the relationship between the prince and the Kaiser is good, the Kaiser will definitely not be soft at the critical moment, and this sign may be when Princess Marie becomes the crown prince. Fortunately, however, there was a tacit understanding between the prince and Fritz, who did not publicly express his support for his daughter, but instead added several new heir "contenders". makes the already somewhat intriguing battle for the crown prince even more confusing.
But in fact, this hand distracted the support of Her Royal Highness's biggest rival, Archduke Karl, because Princess Mary's supporters had been slowly accumulated over more than ten years, and their interests had been tied to Bavaria and Princess Mary, and their loyalty was guaranteed. They will not be swayed by the emergence of a few obscure contenders, but Archduke Karl is different, after all, Archduke Ferdinand is the previous heir, and before the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand, what was Archduke Karl? After Carl became a contender for the heir, it was a war war, and he didn't have much time to cultivate his lineage. And if the new heir wants to gain support, it is naturally better to dig into the corner of Archduke Karl!
Leaving aside the situation within Austria-Hungary for the time being, because in the eyes of the prince, it was not difficult to deal with Austria-Hungary if he was ready to give up, and for some troublesome nationalists, the prince believed that his knife was fast enough. Historically, Horti was able to quickly seize power in Hungary with a few thousand naval officers. Lao Tzu has hundreds of thousands of troops in his hands, are you afraid of wool?
Therefore, the most crucial problem is still the German problem, or the Prussian problem! The prince wanted to make Princess Mary Queen Mary or Empress, and the biggest obstacle came from the Kaiser. After all, after Princess Mary became the Austro-Hungarian Emperor, the power of Ruprecht's family was too strong!
The so-called flies don't bite the eggs that are not slit. If Prussia is united enough, then the prince should wash and sleep. It is enough to temporarily control Bohemia and Moravia, and then, according to the previous agreement with Prussia, get some territory, and do everything for a thousand years. But unfortunately, although Prussia is powerful, there is a group of sharks waiting to share the profits! In this once-in-a-lifetime feast, there are too many people who want to jump out and share it! To put it bluntly, some people want to make trouble! But the nature of the disturbance is very different from history!
How did the collapse of the Second German Reich begin in history? Naturally, because the defeat of Germany was inevitable, the German Social Democratic Party naturally did not miss this opportunity to transform from the largest party in the Reichstag to the ruling party! It's just that the Social Democrats later got out of the game. It became the Social Democratic Party, the Independent Social Democratic Party, and the German Communist Party. And then came Friedrich. Albert's compromise with the military eventually led to the establishment of the Weimar Republic.
This is the collapse of the Second German Reich in history, but it is clear that this process can only be referred to now, not copied, because Germany will not fail this time! But the Social Democrats and the big bourgeoisie in Germany still want to do something! In the final analysis, it is still a matter of interest.
In fact, the struggle for power between the democrats and the conservatives in Prussia never stopped. For example, as early as the summer of 1916, when the German workers first demonstrated their presence through a radical political strike, it happened to be Gustav, an important member of the German National Freedom Party. When Stresemann proposed the strengthening of the Reichstag's powers, a large political coalition of the German Social Democratic Party, the German National Freedom Party, the Progressive People's Party, and the Center Party began to take shape, and although they had different understandings of the purpose of the war, one thing was certain, that is, to demand greater powers for the Reichstag in the future, and in October 1916, the same buddy proposed the establishment of a constitutional council.
And in order to coordinate the demands of the German four-party coalition on reform, German Chancellor Batemann. On February 17, 1917, Holwig proposed the controversial "New Line". This plan is simply to oppose Western-style democracy and implement "democracy plus emperorship". Inclusion of new classes within the existing system.
Even so, the conservatives in Prussia did not buy it, and the Prussian House of Lords (House of Lords) reminisced on March 19 for the Chancellor's actions and attacked the Reichstag. However, Chancellor Holwig was no longer a human being, and the Prussian House of Lords, whose interests had been offended, naturally did not like him, and although the reformist four parties understood Holwig's speech on internal unity on March 14, they still believed that the reform must be carried out during the wartime, and the reformists also knew that once ......the war was over, what they said today was very likely to be invalidated.
The situation was further complicated by the fact that on 8 April 1917, Holwig issued a new proclamation proposing a reform of the House of Lords and a future universal, anonymous but unequal electoral system, which was in fact a compromise with the conservatives in Prussia.
On April 19, 1917, the majority of the German Social Democratic Party "immediately abolished all inequalities in the rights of citizens throughout the country and in the states, abolished bureaucratic rule, and replaced it with the decisive influence of the people's representatives"
And at this point in time, Germany was still more than 1 year away from its final defeat! At that time, the Normanov dynasty had just ended, and Germany had every opportunity to concentrate its forces on a large-scale offensive on the Western Front. Judging by the form of the battlefield alone, it is too early to talk about the defeat of Germany! Then came a long confrontation between the parties in the Prussian Upper House and Parliament, until finally, when the defeat of Germany was assured and the Social Democrats and the Radicals revolted, and the struggle finally came to an end!
