Chapter 1863: Clash of words (1/2)
”Mr. Scheideman mentioned this problem, and there are direct reasons for his dismissal and this problem.” Hase decided to swindle the Americans.
”It seems that you and Mr. Albert have great opinions on this proposal. I understand your thoughts, but after putting aside all subjective factors, you should know that this is already the best result. The Social Democratic Party controls In several provinces, a new state was established, and the parliamentary democracy system was adopted within the state, and on the basis of this, it gradually penetrated into other states. After all, not all states have the control power of Bavaria. If they come, the parliamentary faction will gradually develop in the future federal parliament.” Robert has been brought into the ditch as expected and decided to speak more straightforwardly.
”Then Prussia was divided into two, and the empire fell apart, and the United States would be very happy. So, your Excellency, I must make it clear that even if we have political differences with others, I am still a German! Responsible for my motherland!” Hase said.
”Well, I know, the United States has been misunderstood again. I told you quite frankly. I just want to get your favor, but now, it seems that the result is very bad.” Robert made a helpless expression: ” But, I said, the United States has no desires or demands in this matter, do you believe that?”
”I don't believe that the country never does anything that is not profitable.” Hasse said coldly.
”The internal cause of the substantial weakening of the central position of Prussia is due to the internal struggle between you and the Kaiser, and the external cause is the rise of the Kingdom of Bavaria. If you insist on pushing this matter to us, you can only say that you are deceiving yourself!” Robert Said.
”We did not support a state within Germany to influence the German Empire's policy, because it is too inefficient and too risky! On the contrary, if we influence political parties through transactions with some monopoly capital, then we are influencing Germany. Political situation will be more convenient, because the latter only value money, their ethics is very low, and this approach is very concealed, and will not be offensive. If you want to directly affect the political party, this cost and price It will be very high, and a country is completely capable of not admitting it. Do you agree with me?” Robert asked.
”Even if we take a step back, even if we have done some things, it is impossible to not be noticed. This behavior will not only make Germany's perception of the United States very bad, but more importantly, we There will be severe retaliation. To be honest, many people and groups in the United States have a bad view of your country. But Washington always suppresses these voices. Do you know why?”
”The reason is very simple. The interests of the United States and the German Empire have been entangled for a long time. You need money and resources, and we need your help to deal with the Japanese! I have to say that I created this alliance with my own hands. Crown Prince Ruprecht was the most astute politician at the beginning of this century, because he firmly tied us to the German chariot, we may not even change a bit! If we want to say that Germany is really capable As for the person who frightens us, this person is also Crown Prince Ruprecht, not the Kaiser, let alone you.”
Robert's remarks can be called frank and honest, and 95% of the content is true! Coupled with a performance comparable to an Oscar actor, Robert felt that he should have convinced the German politician on the opposite side.
”However, the country will not do things that are not profitable.” Hasse's cold words sounded again.
