Chapter 1268 - Harboring Evil Intentions 3

It is true that the Kaiser had many troops, but his loyalty, and the number of wealthy troops that could be mobilized, were quite limited. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 After all, during the Battle of Verdun in history, it was almost impossible for the German front-line reserves to draw out so many mobile troops! If necessary, the prince could shrink the troops located in Ukraine and drive them back to Germany proper, but would the German legions on the Western Front dare to massively withdraw from the front? I don't dare!

The struggle between the two sides had not yet reached that point, and the prince tried to downplay his influence in Prussia, and the main military forces remained on the front line, and even after the Russian campaign was completed, the prince continued to deploy the main force of his army outside Germany. The purpose of this was undoubtedly to give both sides of Prussia a sense of security, as for what to do when it was needed? Isn't that simple? Take the train and car directly to the country! Do you really think that the German-Austrian railway was built in vain?!

Well, according to the inertia of thinking as a conspirator, after figuring out the forces involved in the competition, the prince needs to know which side he should be on and how to get the most benefit! First of all, it is certain that the prince will never sit with the reformers, after all, they want to have a constitutional monarchy, and some of the radicals even want to abolish the aristocracy! In addition to the Kaiser, one bullet was also aimed at Ruprecht! If the Kaiser had fallen, or if Prussia had fallen, how could Bavaria be spared? Unless you are prepared for the jade to burn.

And by the same token, it is not possible to be completely on the side of the Kaiser, for the simple reason that it is not possible. Even under pressure, the Kaiser will not necessarily budge on the issue of Princess Marie becoming Queen Mary. Because this would fundamentally shake the dominance of Prussia within the German system, note that this German system does not simply refer to the Second German Reich, but also to Austria-Hungary, which now controls Germany and has an overwhelming advantage over Austria-Hungary, but what about after that? If Bavaria and Austria were under the control of the same family, then Prussia would have had little, if not any, advantage! This is absolutely intolerable to the Kaiser!

Think about it from another perspective, if the prince thinks about the problem from the perspective of the Kaiser: the second eldest of your family and the eldest of the next-door neighbor are husband and wife, and they may have to deal with you with the neighbors in case of trouble, what would you do?! Is it possible to find a compromise, for example, to exclude Bavaria from Germany, as Prussia did when Germany was united? This is equally impossible. The reason is very simple, Bavaria's economy and industry are already very large, once the Kingdom of Bavaria goes out, it will be a heavy blow to Germany, from the perspective of national strength, even if Germany obtains the territory it wants, it will still be worth the loss! This war is in vain!

From the emperor's point of view, Prussia could not tolerate the consequences of losing Bavaria, and from the prince's point of view, he was also unwilling to leave the German Empire. After all, World War I was not the war that ended everything, and the presence of Bavaria in Germany was of great significance in terms of interests and preparations for the distant future World War II.

And in this way, the prince seems to be caught in a paradox, and no matter which faction he chooses, it seems that he will not be able to achieve his goal. When one side gains the upper hand, or when both sides reach an agreement, the prince will automatically become their enemy. So is there a better solution? The prince had a bold plan, but now he had to wait and see what was going on.

Thinking of this, the prince coldly thought of another possibility. That is, what if the Kaiser and some factions of the reformers come to an agreement, then what ....... By that time, if the prince has not launched, then it is better to say. But if the prince launches, then TM will really have an accident! In all likelihood, the two sides will unite against the Bavarian ....... This scene is simply too beautiful to look at!

Is this possible? Maybe there is! For the Kaiser and the conservatives, as long as they maintain most of their interests, it is a victory. And what about the reformers, who were predominantly Social Democrats and big capitalists? If they compromise, they will miss a great opportunity. But many people who are not determined may choose to compromise, after all, even after the outbreak of the German revolution in history, many bourgeoisie still want to keep the emperor.

And for people who are not so radical, after they have already reaped the benefits this time, then it is not unacceptable to stop for a while, especially the big capitalists behind them, they are all sharks hiding in the dark, and it is their business to make profits, and it is someone else. The agent in front is gone, it doesn't matter, just find time to change a batch! So they are the least afraid to change course!

"Ma Dan, it really deserves to be an epic difficult task." The prince was depressed in his heart. Therefore, judging from the current situation, before the situation is clear, and until a certain strength of both sides is guaranteed, the prince will not play directly. It would be very good to honestly confine one's forces outside the confines of Germany, and at the same time to give some small help to some of the reformers if necessary.

In fact, the German Social Democratic Party can be divided into three parts: left, center and right, with the right led by Albert, who to some extent supported the existence of the Kaiser and was willing to retain some of the emperor's rights, and they aimed more at the reform of the parliamentary and electoral system. This part of the population is the easiest to satisfy, and at the same time the easiest to give into. If the Kaiser agrees to a British-style constitutional monarchy and parliamentary reform, Albert's right wing will be the easiest to convince. But alas, there are not many of them. Otherwise, the Kaiser would not have lost his throne. Albert was able to succeed in the end, not because of how strong the right was, but because of the support of the German military.

The other part is centrist, to Kaul. Kautsky was the leader, and they were later the German Independent Social Democratic Party. In fact, from the standpoint, they may demand more, but they are also opposed to the revolutionary position of the left. Later, together with the rightists, he took out the leftist Spartacist regiment.

As for the left? Needless to say, it's Carl. Liebknecht. The political demands and means are almost indistinguishable from those of Lenin in Russia, shattering the old era and creating a new one. Well, that's it! The attitude is the most resolute, and it can also win the support of the people at the bottom. But there is just not enough military power.
