Chapter 1865 Contact One

"If we give them the territory of three provinces, can they give up the right to the center? The Kaiser thought for a while and asked.

"First of all, the province of Brandenburg is too important. It surrounds the capital of the empire, Berlin. Such an important province cannot be given to the parliament, otherwise you will not be able to sleep well. Secondly, they cannot give up the rights of the center. "The Grand Duke of Baden said. "However, we can contact the parliament faction through private channels." We can at least check their mouths.

"Then who is going to deal with this matter?" The Kaiser looked at the three people in the room and said with some embarrassment. After experiencing a series of things, the Kaiser had little trust in others, and now it is even rarer. There are really not many people who can be trusted.

"I'll go there myself. If I go, according to the principle of reciprocity, their status will not be low. We may find out their true thoughts." Grand Duke Baden said with a sigh. There is no way, there are too few talents on the Kaiser's side now. The Grand Duke of Baden wished that one person could be used as two people.

"Okay, so be it," said the Kaiser.

At the same time, the Social Democratic Party is also making final preparations before the contact. The intermediary has already negotiated and can send an invitation to the Kaiser at any time. Now, for Albert and others, what they need to do is to choose A suitable person comes in contact with the other party and thinks about his own conditions.

However, now that Albert can't go by himself, Hassey is in Vienna, and Buhler is the internal military director of the parliament, so Barthes is the one who can go now. And although Albert didn't make a formal statement, it has to be said that Balter's opinion is indeed very attractive.

"We must at least ensure that we can now control the grassroots political power in the region. This is the key and foundation for our future party development. As for the parliament, we control the upper house of the Kingdom of Prussia, and it is acceptable for the nobles to temporarily control the lower house. But the lower house It is also necessary to arrange seats for people of its rank. We must insist that the prime minister of the kingdom be responsible to the parliament. The appointment and removal of the cabinet members of the kingdom must also be approved by the upper and lower houses of the parliament." Albert said to Barthes.

"The other one is military power. Without the ability to protect ourselves, we will never be safe. I think the Kaiser also has this idea. If possible, we'd better try to talk to the Kaiser about this issue." After hesitating, Albert decided It is not an ordinary decision to intervene in military power, because dividing the army is very likely to have a head-on conflict with the officer corps!

"Okay, I will pay attention to these things." Barter said. Three days after this conversation, the Kaiser finally agreed, and in the end, the two parties set the meeting place in Hannover.

When he saw that the representative of the Kaiser was the Grand Duke of Baden, Barth was quite surprised. In his opinion, the counterpart to the Grand Duke of Baden should at least be at the Hasse level. It can be seen from the fact that the Kaiser sent such important people to make prior contacts that the Kaiser still attaches great importance to this negotiation. So, Barthes decided to cheer up and deal with this difficult opponent. After all, if it hadn't been for the Grand Duke of Baden to disrupt the situation, maybe when the Kaiser was at his weakest, the Parliament faction would have already gained imperial power!

The meeting between the two parties was not as full of gunpowder as outsiders imagined, because both parties understood that there are many ways to confront in this kind of private negotiation, but it definitely does not include meaningless bluff! After a simple courtesy, the Grand Duke of Baden decided to launch the "attack" first.

"First of all, I need to inform you about one thing. During the time you went to Hanover, riots broke out in some places in Hanover Province.

However, it was quickly suppressed by the local government. Many of them are members of the Social Democratic Party. Before the peace talks between the two sides, it seems very inappropriate for you to do this kind of behavior. We have already contacted General Crook on the Western Front. He said that the officer corps will not tolerate such things that disrupt the negotiation atmosphere, and that he will come forward to maintain order. "The Grand Duke of Baden said.

"Damn it, what's the situation?" Just two minutes after the two parties sat down, Barter felt that the Grand Duke was difficult to deal with, and that extremely aggressive! First of all, the other party did grasp a blind spot of his own, that is, he received too little information during the time he rushed to the venue, and Barthes didn't even know whether the Social Democratic Party had done these things in Hannover. I don't even know if the German military and local government have suppressed it. It can be said to be completely black.

But now no matter how he answers, he is in a disadvantaged position. If he denies it flatly, then if this thing really happens. Those rioting Democrats were obviously sold out. And if he admits it, he will be charged with sabotaging the negotiations, and this behavior will definitely arouse dissatisfaction from the military. As for whether this incident was fabricated by the Grand Duke of Baden? This is really possible, but Barter doesn't know, so he can't make an effective response.

So, faced with this situation, Barthes decisively blurred it out and beat it back. "The current situation is more complicated. We can't even be sure whether this matter is true. After all, that is just your side's story. Compared with this kind of pretentious matter, General Mackensen's East Prussian Army retreated in large numbers. It is a fact that while the Western Front Legion remains the same, the change of the Eastern Front Legion makes people very suspicious of your motives. Of course, you have a certain sincerity in being able to sit here. If you are here today to discuss issues, not Can we say something more constructive if we come to court?"

"The transfer of the Eastern Front Legion is just a normal operation. The troops need to change their defenses. It is impossible to fight on the front line all the time. If you want to know the situation in this regard, I can arrange relevant personnel to explain it to you." Grand Duke Baden laughed He said: "But as a prerequisite for the negotiations between the two sides, one thing must be done, that is, we should not do things that destabilize any more. I suggest that the military come forward to create a separation between the areas controlled by the two sides." The personnel of both sides cannot enter the control area of ​​the other side."

"Awesome!" Barthes gave the other party a thumbs up. The Grand Duke of Baden's move was actually aimed at the penetration of the Social Democratic Party into neutral areas. The parliament faction is very clear that the area they currently control is not too large, so they urgently need to increase their influence through various means.
