The Rise of the Empire

Chapter 28: The Prime Minister Standing on the Sidelines

"It seems that our Prince of Bavaria has got everything he wants! Bavaria's armor has monopolized the armor market of the Imperial Navy, and he has also extended his income to the shipbuilding industry. Prince Hitt reached an agreement. And their design was adopted by the Admiralty. The performance of the long-dormant kingdom in the south this year has caused the whole of Germany to look sideways." Herbert Bismarck said with some concern, because in the empire's In the Game of Thrones, a new player who doesn't know friends and foes joins in. Originally, this player has strength, but has no ideas, but this time is different, the first shot is extraordinary!

"You think they've got everything?" The old prime minister who was sitting on the seat seemed to have heard something very ridiculous. "No, no, no! This is just the beginning. They have obtained a lot of benefits with their own strength, and these benefits attract them like old wine, and they will take further benefits!"

"This is not a good sign." Herbert frowned and said dissatisfied. "This will stimulate other kingdoms. Although Württemberg and Saxony are smaller in size and population than Bavaria, their industries and textile industries are very developed. Bavaria's achievements may make them covet some of the empire's industries."

"Don't equate the German Empire with the Prussian Empire. For the benefit of the empire, the Kingdom of Prussia needs to transfer part of its rights and interests. As long as it does not affect the basic situation of the empire, then it is allowed. The Prussian army is the army of the empire. Is it true that Bavaria Are the armies of Württemberg and Saxony not imperial armies? Your sense of disgust is fundamentally based on your belief that they took the cake that belonged to Prussia!"

"Will Bavaria's intervention affect the internal affairs and foreign affairs of the empire? Prince Ruprecht and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince have a very good personal relationship, and the Kingdom of Bavaria also holds 6 votes in the Federal Parliament! Will they affect you? rights?" asked Herbert.

"It will definitely have an impact, and it will be a good one! Because I have what they need in my hand!" Tie Xuezai said confidently.

"They want to involve more fields?" Herbert said with some surprise.

"That's natural. Everything you said is what they have already got. It was finalized long before the prince came to Berlin. And what they want to get has to be exchanged from me! From the current point of view, The two sides are still trustworthy, the expansion speed of the navy is still under our control, and the cooperation between the two sides has started very well, and now I am somewhat looking forward to what kind of benefit exchange that little guy will propose." The Prime Minister is not worried about his current situation at all. Despite the situation, he showed full confidence in front of his son.

But deep down, he still couldn't figure out what this little guy, or the Bavarian royal family wanted to achieve. To be honest, although he thinks his plan of agricultural aid in exchange for political support is very attractive, but before the other party agrees, he still has fifteen buckets in his heart.

Although Bismarck is still in power now, it is completely different from that of William I. When the old emperor was there, he had unreserved trust! With the support of the monarchy, his position is very stable, but now, the new emperor does not trust him. The only reason why he can sit in this position is that His Majesty the Emperor has not found a more suitable candidate! Losing the unreserved support of the monarchy, his position is not stable, so he urgently needs to find allies, especially allies from outside Prussia!

"Then what do you plan to gain from Bavaria?" asked Herbert.

"As long as they are on our side in the Federal Parliament. I want to strengthen the government's investment in education, health, welfare and construction to absorb the excess capital of the empire, instead of turning them into a ship prematurely." warships. The sentiment among the people of the empire is a bit too radical, and if the guidance is not good,

Instead, the government will be kidnapped by public opinion. I want to stop this from happening. A trace of worry flashed in Bismarck's eyes.

The Naval Association seems to be a little older than history. (Because the author doesn’t know exactly when this association was established-!) This association is not like a general industry association. The top level is capitalists and bankers and some high-ranking aristocratic bureaucrats, and the middle level is affected intellectuals. . The lower class is the fanatical German nationals. A stable structure with a clear division of labor. Have ideals and goals! Rich and rooted! Such a dynamic community has a great influence on the German regime!

"To a certain extent, it is enough for me that they remain neutral. The Federal Parliament cannot be bypassed. The votes of each kingdom and principality are bound and cannot be dismantled. However, the Imperial Parliament is much easier to deal with. It can be divided and disintegrated." The Prime Minister paused and continued.

"Don't you think that building a good relationship with the Bavarian royal family now is a good thing for your future development? I will grow old eventually, and you can't become prime minister, but the Wittelsbach family will always be the royal family! After all, we are just They are the stewards of the empire, and they are the masters of the empire!" The prime minister's words also showed a trace of helplessness, even if the prime minister with power overshadows the sky, he is only the host and bystander of the federal parliament. He can only propose resolutions, but cannot finalize them!

The previous cooperation is just an appetizer, but the latter cooperation is the key. His Royal Highness got the order, established a good relationship with the crown prince, met the main members of the royal family, settled the shipyard, and played in Berlin again. Let's go around, now it's time to come and have a chat with yourself.

As expected by the prime minister, the time traveler did intend to talk to the prime minister, but what was somewhat different from what the prime minister thought was that what the time traveler wanted to talk to the prime minister this time was not just an exchange of benefits! This time, he will make some suggestions from the perspective of the empire! Not to mention that it can reverse the trend of history, at least it can make the German bungee run longer! The matter of Germany can't get around the current Prime Minister after all!

"Iron Prime Minister, you created the German Empire that countless German fans admire in future generations." After seeing the schedule sent by Earl Schelling, Ruprecht couldn't help being a little excited. Although the prince is not a German fan, But he still respects this old man who created a world-class power. Of course, in addition to respect, what is more important is that he can bring more benefits to himself! The cooperation between the Chancellor of Germany and the Kingdom of Bavaria is absolutely mutually beneficial. The Chancellor needs the votes of the Kingdom, and the Kingdom needs the policy tilt of the Empire!
