Chapter 2326 Dispute One
(page 1/1)
The so-called where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and where there are rivers and lakes, there are disputes. The Germans won the battle, and the external contradictions have almost been resolved, while the internal contradictions have gradually become prominent. If all parties can still maintain the same agreement during the negotiations with Britain, then at this point in time, the negotiations between Germany and Britain are temporarily suspended, the first batch of compensation from the British is about to be delivered, and the German side is about to take over the first batch of colonies , The contradictions within Germany instantly became acute! Everyone began to make a fuss about how to divide the reparations and who would manage the colonies, to exclude dissidents!
A kind of frenzy for winning and sharing the results began to stir up from top to bottom. Soldiers were concerned about the compensation and resettlement they received after leaving the army, ordinary people were thinking about their own future, and businessmen were thinking about how to obtain a large amount of loans from the state to develop themselves. The Junkers, on the other hand, wanted promotion in the reorganized imperial government. Newspaper and radio propaganda added fuel to the flames.
However, in the German Empire, those who really have the ability and status to decide these things are extremely calm, because they know that on the surface, this matter is the distribution of war benefits, but more of it is the post-war German political structure. critical moment of formation. This will be the first political game after the formation of the three pillars within the empire. Who is a friend among the Kaiser, Bavaria and the Parliamentarians? Who is the enemy? What's the bottom line? All these will be revealed one by one in the near future.
However, at least for now, the parliamentarians and the Kaiser are in agreement on certain issues. For example, everyone believes that the fruits of victory after the victory over Britain and France on the Western Front should be distributed under the auspices of the original Prussian group. There is nothing wrong with this. The main force on the Western Front is the original Prussia and other states except Bavaria. Isn't it normal for whoever fights to distribute the benefits? Just like the Eastern Front, Bavaria was the main force of the German army on the Eastern Front, so Bavaria almost presided over the territorial allocation of the Eastern Front!
Of course, if this idea is to be implemented, further communication between the two parties is required, so Mr. Hasse sent by the parliament came to the residence of the Grand Duke of Baden in Berlin.
"Dear Your Excellency, the time has come to share the results of the war. According to our previous agreement, you should submit a plan for compensation and colony distribution. In this plan, you and the parliament will lead the distribution. .We will support your proposal in the Imperial Parliament. But now, the Imperial Prime Minister has never proposed this plan, and I want to know your current attitude." After simple politeness, Hasay explained the purpose of this trip.
"I think that under the current political environment, it is impossible not to refer to the opinions of the Kingdom of Bavaria before making such an important proposal. After all, the Bavarian Army has made great achievements in the battles on the east and west fronts, and Crown Prince Ruprecht He even presided over the entire negotiation with the UK, so we are going to make this proposal after consulting the crown prince." Grand Duke Baden said.
There are two reasons for the Grand Duke of Baden to say this. The first reason is indeed because Bavaria has contributed and worked hard, and his opinion must be respected. The other reason is that the Grand Duke of Baden has deep distrust of the parliamentarians! As early as Moltke mentioned that the parliament faction wanted to jointly lead the distribution of benefits with the Kaiser, the Grand Duke of Baden worried that this was a trap. So, do you want the Kaiser faction to stand alone? That is impossible!
"This is different from what we agreed before. The Austro-Hungarian Empire is an outsider, and they hardly participated in the war on the Western Front, so when distributing the spoils, we only need to take care of our face. The main force of Bavaria has been fighting on the Eastern Front. So we are the only ones who can dominate everything. This is completely in the interests of both you and me, why do you hesitate so much?" Hasai said anxiously.
"because,
I can't openly occupy the interests that others deserve. "The Grand Duke of Baden glanced at Hasai, his eyes full of shame." And I'm worried that something bad will happen when this matter is discussed in the Imperial Parliament! You know what I mean. "
"It seems that there is a lack of basic trust between us. You have unreasonably doubted an ally who has the same interests as you, which makes us feel angry." Hasay's heart skipped a beat. Obviously, the Grand Duke of Baden seemed to have guessed what the Parliament faction wanted to do.
According to ordinary people's understanding, when the matter has developed to this level, the two sides can already consider going back to their respective houses. After all, the negotiation does not even have the most basic trust, so what is there to talk about? But at this time, the two sides were only silent for a long time. Hasai did not want to leave, and the Grand Duke of Baden did not issue an order to evict the guest. The two sides remained silent like this, calculating, thinking about how to make this matter continue. After all, both the parliamentary faction and the Kaiser faction really want to lead the entire process of benefit distribution!
"Must Bavaria be consulted?" Hasse asked.
"This is necessary." The Grand Duke of Baden said with certainty.
"Then let's go together. Let's go to negotiate with the crown prince together. And bring the official recorder. We can even write the negotiation record into an official document for the record. There is no conspiracy, and none of us can do anything." Ha Said after thinking for a moment. Obviously, with the presence of Prince Baden, the plan formulated by the parliamentary faction to slander the Emperor at the time of voting cannot be realized. Well, everyone will take the next best thing, stand up directly, and discuss with Bavaria the distribution of spoils on the Western Front.
You know, whether it is the Kaiser or the Parliament faction, they are all born out of old Prussia. In their eyes, they fought the Western Front little by little. Although the Bavarian Army has made great contributions, it is still in a subordinate position. Therefore, The right to distribute should be in the hands of the Kaiser and the Reichstag. If it is said that everyone can do some tricks in sneaking below, then when the representatives of both sides face Bavaria together, neither the Kaiser nor the parliament faction can play tricks. After all, everyone has a bunch of followers, whether it is the Junker nobles under the Kaiser's command, or the capitalists behind the parliamentary faction, in terms of profit distribution, they actually have a hostile attribute with Bavaria!
"Yes." The Grand Duke of Baden's answer was very simple.
"I hope His Excellency the Grand Duke will keep in mind our previous agreement. We can't do anything in public and can trust each other. And the Junker nobles behind the Kaiser don't want Bavaria to be too strong." Hasai said very seriously.
"I also want to say the same thing to Mr. Hasse, don't let the blood of the Prussians be shed in vain, they should get what they deserve." The Grand Duke of Baden said, although he was full of doubts, under relatively fair circumstances, Germany The emperor and the parliament faction finally reached an agreement! Temporary agreement!
