Welcome to 19th-century Europe, where strength reigns supreme

August also knew that his plan was a bit crazy, but there was no way to ensure survival first, and then other things. Ron and Moltke also had some objections to August's plan.

Augustus wanted to unite all the forces that could be united. The serf class, the working class, and the civil class all had strong demands. They longed for stable jobs, a free and prosperous life, universal suffrage, and a complete constitution.

This class of people is the backbone of the entire Prussian society. They represent the most radical proletariat. They long for a vigorous revolution, and it is crucial to get their support.

But August had no way to do everything they wanted, because August couldn't afford what they wanted. Although they were very dissatisfied with the capitalists and decadent aristocrats, it was still the 19th century, and the workers' movement paid attention to one point. So far, they have not been able to organize themselves into a fighting force.

Then there is only one way, seek the help of the Juncker Group, nobles, big capitalists and other people who have wealth, land and military in their hands. They are more powerful. They want to protect their own interests and gain benefits in the turbulent nineteenth century. Then they will definitely want to maintain the existing political system, and a Prussia that is about to perish will definitely not be in their interests.

Although they are obviously on the side of the king, who is not a faggot? As long as their appetite can be satisfied, they are likely to target the current king and then support the new king on the throne.

August wants to win the support of the liberals. They are natural allies, but Moltke and Ron have some differences.

"Win over those capitalists? You can't satisfy their greed. Now they may follow you for profit, but as long as others are willing to extend an olive branch, they will immediately rebel and join the enemy. Prussia will only perish in the hands of liberals and capitalists. !”

August also knew this, but now there is really no better choice. The opposition of Ron and Moltke is also reasonable. They are the Junkers themselves, and naturally they do not want those liberals to have too much influence. Although ten thousand people are unwilling to do so, they also admit that liberalism is indeed the best choice.

"I will find a way to control it. What we can do now is very limited. Let's ensure our existence first. We will talk about the future later. Uncle Ron, can you organize some students at the military academy? We do have some power alone. Alone is weak."

"I'll give it a try." Ron nodded.

"Uncle Moltke, do you know any other generals? Some people in the army should be disgusted by Walrich's policies now, and these people can also be fought for."

"Of course, but our official positions are not high, so we only know some grassroots officers. Are they feasible?"

"Of course there is no problem. If I were a soldier, I would be more willing to obey the general's orders than a marshal whom I have never met a few times. He is our friend who gets along day and night, and we are closer to him."

"Hahaha, Mao Qi and we were encouraged by the little princess!" Ron patted Mao Qi on the shoulder, and Mao Qi also laughed. It is true that they, the grassroots officers, are closer to the soldiers than the marshal who is above them. Some, they will pay attention to the soldiers' meals and other issues. They know that if you want these soldiers to obey the command, you have to love them and meet their needs, and this happens to be something the higher-ups don't understand.

"Then let's do this for now. I'm very happy. Uncle Ron, Uncle Moltke, with your help, everything will be fine in Prussia."

August bowed to them and thanked them. Moltke and Ron stood up and saluted August.

"Yes, Your Highness August!"

After walking out of Ron's villa, Valentina, who had been outside the villa, asked in confusion, "Why are you looking for Mr. Moltke and Mr. Ron? Miss August should know more generals with higher positions, right?" Wouldn’t it be better to enlist their support?”

"My two brothers must also understand what you understand. Those old marshals in their [-]s and [-]s have long been colluding with King Pu. They will definitely curry favor with more senior officers in order to gain greater influence. That leaves me with fewer choices. Uncle Ron and Uncle Moltke are both very potential generals, but they have low military ranks. Their influence in the army is not low. If I pass by in a car, In the military camp, as long as one person stands up and shoots at me, then I am dead. There must be people who oppose me in the army, but if their closest commanders sit with me, even those who are the most radical, I will also give my superiors face, and that’s enough.”

"I don't really understand." Valentina said as she followed August.

"Okay, okay, let me explain this kind of thing to you slowly. You are my most trusted deputy, and the burden on your shoulders is not light. I will have to rely on you to do a lot of things in the future. Uncle Ron and Moltke Your uncles are considered your seniors, there is no harm in asking them more questions."

"Yes, I will do whatever Miss August asks."

"Then call me a carriage and let's go back to Berlin."

"Yes, Miss August!"

Berlin, September 1859, 9, will eventually go down in history. On this blue star, Karl Marx seized this opportunity and published many articles criticizing the King of Prussia, and pointed out that the current King of Prussia did not Worthy of being a king, Prussia did not need its current king, and an article was published on this basis, The Communist Manifesto.

The Communist Manifesto of this world is eleven years behind the Earth, but just like the rolling trend of the times, it will affect the entire world starting from Europe.

August was obviously a little excited after reading this article. Karl's article only pointed to the current King Pu. Since the current King Pu is not needed, what about changing to another King Pu? Karl didn't extend too much in this regard, but August knew that Karl was doing himself a favor.

Compared with the revolution that doesn’t know when it will happen, workers’ lives are now unsafe, the reactionary class in Prussia is too strong now, the workers’ movement has just begun to take shape, and it is impossible to overthrow the existing system. Karl still chooses to side with the people. He is full of idealism, but he is not divorced from reality. Delayed justice is never justice. Workers need jobs and bread now.

We can only let Prussia have a less reactionary monarch first, ensure the people's livelihood first, and then consider other things. This is the most realistic approach. Karl is settling for the next best thing. Since there is no way to let Prussia immediately To become red, then take your time and gain time and space before the revolution comes.

I have to say that Karl was helpless to make such a move, because the failure of the Communist Alliance hit Karl to a great extent, and he had to make some compromises with reality. He hated the monarch, which was feudal, but I have to admit that August is indeed the best choice.

Can you find another way? Let the reactionary right rule? Or should we let the leftist leadership, which has just started, have no program? Putting aside reality and talking about ideals is just a hooliganism.

The successful publication of the Communist Manifesto can be regarded as announcing to the world that workers already have a scientific and systematic program. But as Auguste said, communism is not in Paris, nor is it in the "Communist Manifesto". Just because you have read him does not mean that you understand communism. It is just a book that enlightens your thoughts. It cannot make the reactionaries shed their armor, nor can it allow the proletariat to have bread and dignity immediately. Communism is in everyone's mind. Communist thinking, practice and the motherland are all indispensable, and the channel to achieve communism is not only armed struggle. We must think but not be superstitious, practice instead of fantasy, and combine national conditions instead of copying successful cases. .

Only by understanding this can you be a true communist. Karl was such a person. He made a choice. He did not choose August, he chose the people of Prussia.

Just this is actually enough. For August, as long as Karl's balance is tilted to his side, he has a great chance of winning. Now it is his time to respond to those who support him.
