"These guys are the grass on the wall, and when the people can weaken the power of the nobility and the royal family, they support the commoners. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info And when they need the Empire's sword to acquire land, they will support the Empire's expansionist policy, and when the Empire's warriors and monarchs take over large territories, they want to usurp the benefits through the Parliament! It makes me feel like I'm working for them! ”

"And what if something happens? All the pots can be thrown to the council, even to me! And they still sit quietly in the back and stir up various factions to fight, and then profit from it! They think they have the economic lifeblood of the Empire, so they ignore my authority! Wrong! I'm going to tell them! The highest arbiter of the empire is the royal family and its supporters, not those who only know how to make money but do not take responsibility! The Kaiser's roar unnerved everyone present. This is not only because of this powerful statement, but also because the Kaiser has decided to attack some people in the country!

What was the Kaiser's purpose in doing this? Appeasing Bavaria, and making Bavaria make a greater contribution to the war, and providing corresponding remuneration is only one aspect, more importantly, the Kaiser needs Bavaria's support to attack certain forces in the country! To put it more plainly, it is to attack the radicals in the Social Democratic Party and the capitalists and bankers who are ambitious for the regime!

The biggest difference between Prussia and Bavaria in their domestic power systems is that the Kaiser only controls the state power and the army, and even the actual control of the army is the Junker aristocracy. The economy is controlled by domestic capitalists, and what about Bavaria? The economy is dominated by the royal family, and the army is also controlled by the royal family because there is no Junker aristocracy. Not to mention the regime.

The Kaiser saw in the "Bavarian model" the hope of further centralization! True, the Kaiser was now not satisfied with the power in his hands, the General Staff could resist the Kaiser's orders militarily, and economically relied on the capitalists and bankers. Politically, Germany's Social Democrats have always wanted to establish a parliamentary government, with the chancellor accountable to parliament rather than to the Kaiser. And these problems are almost non-existent in the government of the Kingdom of Bavaria, where the power of the Bavarian crown is from the bottom up, and there is no domestic rival existence.

And this time, the Kaiser wanted to do more than just win the First World War, but also to reshape the power system at home, especially in Prussia, he wanted to establish some enterprises controlled by the imperial family, to gain a certain economic dominance, and to establish a new officer corps system outside the Junker aristocracy. At the same time, it wants to dispel the idea of some political parties calling for the establishment of a parliamentary government. And these cannot be done by the Kaiser alone! Because the Kaiser did not establish a top-down system of enforcement of rights, there were two actual executors between the Kaiser and the commoners, the bourgeoisie and the Junker aristocracy!

In other words, the Kaiser actually has a tendency to be kidnapped or set aside, and historically this is true, for example, from the end of World War 1, when the Kaiser announced the suppression of the uprising, the German military was almost unanimously opposed, but then? After signing the Albert-Greiner Agreement with the commander of the German Army, Grenner, which promised that the government would not reform the army as long as the army recognized the government, the German Army resolutely suppressed all kinds of uprisings. By the way, the Bavarian Soviet Republic was also disposed of! This illustrates the fact that it was not the German Army that was incapable, but that the Kaiser was abandoned at the last moment.

Why did Wilhelm II build the navy vigorously? While the struggle for territory under the sun is an important reason, another reason is to create a military force independent of the Junkers, allowing the middle and lower classes to be promoted through naval channels. Moreover, the vigorous construction of the navy also allowed the German industry to share a large number of government orders, the capitalists made money, the common people had a way to be promoted, and nationalism was the main internal driving force of the Second Reich's naval construction.

In fact, in Germany, the Kaiser's power was based on the fact that everyone bought his account. And if the situation changes, it will be completely different. The Kaiser saw in this war an opportunity, an opportunity to change the situation, it was impossible to move the Junker aristocracy militarily during the war, but to attack the capitalists and parties in the post-war distribution of interests and the political system!

The resources directly at the disposal of the German royal family are limited, and if they are to compete, they will certainly not be able to defeat industrial giants such as Krupp and Rheinmetall. So good, the Kaiser needs allies, and this ally cannot be found reliable at home, so it can only be in the German states, Bavaria wants to expand its territory, then good, this question can be discussed, but in return, Bavaria must help the Kaiser economically to build a competitive economic entity.

Politically, if Bavaria wants to maintain the stability of the states in the former Federal Parliament, and if the Kaiser wants to maintain the stability of the Reichstag, then Bavaria will also need the support of Bavaria, after all, the Social Democratic Party has members not only in Prussia, but also ......in other places. And if the kingdoms of Bavaria and Saxony could hold these people down and establish more and smaller parties, then the scattered parliamentary parties would be much less powerful.

In the Kaiser's view, the Kaiser would not mind agreeing to Bavaria's "proportional expansion" if this could be achieved. As long as there is no imbalance of power, it is permissible for Bavaria to want to be stronger. Moreover, if the Kaiser wanted to restrict Bavaria, he could also start from other aspects, for example, there was actually no direct ......connection between Poland and Bavaria proper.

Therefore, in the Kaiser's view, it was a very good deal to give Bavaria some benefits, and then use Bavaria to suppress the resistance at home. He is not afraid of Bavaria, after all, Bavaria has too little population, and the gap between North and South Germany makes Prussia unable to do whatever it wants to Bavaria, so how can the worse Bavaria affect Prussia?

Besides, in line with the principle of equal pay and return, Bavaria almost undertook more than two-thirds of Germany's combat missions on the Eastern Front, and also helped on the Western Front, and it can even be said that if Russian Poland is really taken down, it is almost a matter of the Bavarian Army and the Austro-Hungarian Army, the contribution of the Prussian Army is very small, at this time, it is enough for you to take a part, and you still want to eat it all and kick out the Bavaria of the officer? What do you think? What is the most basic belief between people and people? Will you be able to play happily in the future?!
