Chapter 2380： Plaintiff and Defendant One (1/2)
”Your Excellency, don't you think that we have just reached an agreement with the Kaiser to work out a plan to deal with Parliamentary Prussia. Today we see that the representatives of the parliamentary faction are a bit too violent?” Crown Prince Christian of Saxony looked a little bit on the face. Said embarrassingly to the duke sitting next to him.
The crown prince believes that Ruprecht decided to tell him the day after meeting with the Kaiser to give him a good night’s sleep! Although I have been mentally prepared, I still feel very awkward after I have determined that the people I want to meet are Hassy of the Social Democratic centrist and Buhler who originally belonged to the right wing! How to describe it? I always feel that Ruprecht is on both sides!
”What's wrong? Do you remember what the Imperial Marshal told you? Some people can be hated, but you must also associate with them. What's more, this time, we are not so annoying people.” Prince Albrecht said with a smile. This time, the representatives of the two kingdoms were a bit low-key. They were sitting in the same car. Of course, there were still many convoys. After all, even in the name of the Duke of Württemberg, when Albrecht needed to visit At the time of the Imperial Marshal, the necessary pomp was still necessary.
”But we have reached a unified intention with the Kaiser. We can't change it anymore?” Crown Prince Christian said.
”Of course, the credibility of Crown Prince Ruprecht is still good, and the agreement with the Kaiser will be fulfilled according to the agreement. What we said to them is another matter.” The Duke said.
”Don't they have any opinions on this agreement?” Christian asked.
”What about opinions? The Imperial Marshal once used a very apt metaphor to describe the relationship between the parliamentarians and us now, that is, I am a knife and he is a fish! They have no right to refuse, and in the agreement we reached with the Kaiser In China, the parliamentary faction is not without a chance to comeback!” said the Duke.
”I do not understand.”
”First of all, we do agree that the Kaiser will be in charge of the next imperial government, but the imperial government has only one term. What about the next next? This time, the parliamentary faction has no chance, so there may be no possibility of a comeback in the future. On the issue of compensation, we have also tried our best to safeguard the interests of the parliamentarians. That is to say, from the perspective of development, the parliamentarians will not suffer too much loss. What about the Prussian parliament? Such an outbreak of internal conflicts It is not necessarily all bad things, because after all, we have made the high-level parliamentarians aware of their position and made them more inclined to the middle and low-level in future policy making. In this way, the efficiency of the parliamentary group will be higher and the contradictions will also be higher. It will be less. In the long run, it's really hard to say which of the two Prussias is stronger!” Albrecht explained patiently to Christian.
Although Duke Albrecht, as a hereditary aristocracy, dislikes the rising bourgeoisie, he has to admit that the money-supremacists are indeed better than the Junkers in many areas. Prussia, the parliament controlled by these people, will be more flexible in terms of economic policy. Over time, which of the two Prussias will develop better, I really can’t tell!
If Ruprecht’s negotiations with the Kaiser represent Bavaria’s demands on the empire’s central and political level, then on the economic side, Ruprecht needs to negotiate with the parliament and the power behind them. Half of the country's problems are economic problems! In the field of economic cooperation, the two sides have too many things to discuss. Of course, the crown prince will also talk to them about the positioning of the future parliament of Prussia.
