The German Emperor knew that Bavaria was the strongest in the empire now. The German Emperor could only gain an advantage by joining forces with the parliamentary faction. However, in the face of huge interests, the German Emperor hesitated. He was always undecided about weakening Bavaria and severely damaging the parliamentary faction and then getting a share of the pie, and now it seems that he is more inclined to the latter.
"Can we see the situation first?" Hallweg asked.
"It's better to prepare immediately, after all, we don't know when the parliamentary delegation will negotiate with Ruprecht." Grand Duke Baden insisted on his opinion.
"Will this seem to be too weak? In fact, from the Bavarian behavior, they chose to attack the parliamentary faction, and they would likely not reconcile, because from the perspective of the personal behavior and personality of Prince Ruprecht, he is a person who cares about the interests of allies. If Ruprecht chooses to reconcile with the parliamentary faction, then the ending of Crook and others may be very bad. So, if we have similar conditions to the parliamentary faction, Ruprecht will likely choose us instead of the parliamentary faction." Prime Minister Holweg thought for a while and said.
"Even if we reconcile, it is okay for Crook and others to have a good ending. It is easy for Bavaria to arrange a few people. We must be quick. If we operate properly, we may gain extraordinary benefits this time! It is possible to even re-confirm the emperor's status in the empire. For example, if we attack the parliamentary faction this time, we will have a great advantage in public opinion and public opinion. Even if we cannot negotiate directly with Bavaria, we must also show our attitude! Don't forget how Silesia entered the parliamentary faction at the time, wasn't it because we were hesitant about the Poles?" said Grand Duke Baden.
"What do you mean is to take this opportunity to restore our lost provinces?" The German Emperor said excitedly. Why did the authority of the German Emperor decline? Isn't the fundamental reason yet the division of Prussia? It was almost divided into two equal parts. If Prussia is still a unified Prussia, no matter how strong Bavaria is, it can only continue to be his ten thousand years old! Therefore, the sensitivity to territory made the German Emperor more inclined to the opinions of Grand Duke Baden.
"Will this arouse Bavarian alertness? The current situation is the most beneficial to Bavaria, and they will not give us a new advantage. If the crown prince felt the crisis, he might choose to cooperate with the parliament." Although the Grand Duke of Baden's speech was very tempting, Prime Minister Holweg still tended to be more conservative measures.
"So we have to negotiate and negotiate with Bavaria this time, what can we get. Ruprecht has one thing that is, the decision will not change. He prefers to use conspiracy rather than conspiracy, so his political reputation is very good, which is one of his advantages. Although cunning and wisdom are synonyms in politics, no one likes to cooperate with capricious people." said Grand Duke Baden.
"Okay, don't say it anymore. Grand Duke Baden, you are responsible for contacting Bavaria and start this plan as soon as possible. One day, I will take back all the territory that originally belonged to Prussia!" The German Emperor finally decided.
However, the German Emperor was still slower to make this decision. Before the contact between Grand Duke Baden and Ruprecht, the parliamentary factions had already begun to implement remedial measures. Through multiple intelligences, Albert and others naturally thought that Bavaria must have played an important role in this matter. In the current situation that cannot be defeated, the right wing and centrists of the Social Democratic Party decisively chose to compromise. At the same time as the German Emperor convened a meeting, the leader of the Social Democratic Party centrist, Hasai, had arrived at Ruprecht's official residence and started secret consultations.
"If we knew that this was the result, then the Social Democratic Party would never choose to go to war with you." Looking at the calm Bavarian crown prince opposite, Hasai said with a complicated expression. The Social Democratic Party could not win this war. Hasai and others realized that the German Emperor might be betrayed. The reason was very simple. If the German Emperor firmly stood on the side of the parliamentary faction, then at the beginning, the German Emperor would jointly suppress this matter. At least the current German Emperor Prussian newspapers would not hype this matter all day! The parliamentary faction also sent people to contact the German Emperor, but the other party's answer could be described as evasion. In this case, how can the single-powered parliamentary faction deal with the attacks from inside and outside at the same time?
So, this time Hasai's attitude was very straightforward. He came here to admit his "wrong". Then he asked the other party to give up his hands and let the parliament go. Other things are easy to say, whether it is the distribution of compensation or any other request, it can be discussed! The so-called admitting mistakes, and being beaten to stand attentive is what it means.
"We can cooperate in compensation, increase the proportion of Austro-Hungarian Empire or Bavaria, and reduce the share of old Prussia. If it is convenient, say your conditions and believe me, if the Social Democratic Party fails this time, the biggest loss will definitely be Bavaria, and your country will lose its current transcendent status. The empire can be like now, which is entirely the result of your deliberate guidance." Hasai continued.
"So, do you think that the fundamental purpose of our big move is to pay compensation?" Ruprecht asked.
"Isn't it? Apart from that, I don't think there is any major conflict between the parliamentary factions and you, after all, we will not interfere in the internal affairs of Bavaria, and you are also indifferent to the correctness of the central government of the empire." Hasai asked.
"So that's what you think, okay, let's discuss this matter carefully today. We have a lot of time, one afternoon and one evening. We can seriously discuss the role of the party system in the empire and your mistakes." Ruprecht said.
"That's right, it's your mistake. Some people say that in the critical period of civil strife, I tend to be the German Emperor because I asked to guarantee the status of the German Emperor. In the end, I prevented the German Emperor from falling into dust. But in fact, I did not intend to kill the Social Democratic Party. This is not only because you need to restrain the German Emperor, but more importantly, I think you also have a certain positive effect on the German Empire." The crown prince said with a smile.
After hearing the Crown Prince's words, Hasai couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. It seems that this time, the Crown Prince does not intend to completely kill the Social Democratic Party as a whole, but for some individuals, it seems that the Crown Prince is still preparing to liquidate. However, judging from the current Crown Prince's attitude, the target of liquidation is not himself?
