The Rise of the Empire

"So good, let's talk about the second question. I always think that the country is higher than the party and the nation. The goal of our struggle is to make the German Empire the most powerful country in the world. In order to achieve this goal, we must What we do is to improve efficiency. This is efficiency in various senses. Our factories must produce the best products, our people must receive good education and generous welfare, and our military must have a firm will and a strong Fighting power. So good, can the Social Democratic Party really do better?" Scheer asked.

"Why do you ask such a question? By breaking the Junker aristocracy's monopoly on the official system, we can absorb more elites from all walks of life to participate in the management of society. Efficiency will definitely increase. If we adopt universal suffrage, we will get Every vote is voted by voters, and we will naturally change people’s livelihood. If the military is loyal to the country rather than to the individual, it is easier to generate cohesion. This is a simple matter." Knowles said with some curiosity, he felt the opposite Is Scheer’s political sensitivity too low? The Social Democratic Party has been propagating this idea for decades, hasn't Scheer heard it?

　　 However, in fact, Scheer must have heard these things, and the ears have been worn out. To be honest, Knowles' answer disappointed Scheer. Because the latter did not solve the most fundamental problem, that is, Germany's efficiency is actually not high. At least the efficiency of Prussia is far less than that of Bavaria in the south, and the reason for this is naturally understood at the level of Scheer. Although Scheer is not too impressed with someone's writings, he has an understanding of the greed of the bourgeoisie and the pursuit of profit!

Now, a monopoly has been formed within Prussia, and monopoly means violent profits, which means that various Prussian enterprises can obtain excess profits without excessively pursuing technological progress. In the absence of state regulation or external threats, this This inertia will seriously affect the efficiency of the country.

　　 Scheer understands very well that in parliament, whether it is the Social Democratic Party or the Catholic Central Party in the south, they are inseparable from the nobles and capitalists. Their activities and elections all need money. Where does the money come from? Most of them are naturally sponsored by major chaebols. The so-called shorthands and other people's money will naturally tend to invest in chaebols in policy making. Over time, in the hearts of these parties, national interests will give way to party and capital interests.

　　 However, in this way, after half a day after the change, the whole country has become a capitalist country. In Scheer's view, this has turned part of the Junker noble regime into a capitalist regime. Is there any essential difference? As for the so-called universal suffrage? Scheer really does not believe that the Social Democratic Party can have one person, one vote in the true sense. After all, the Social Democratic Party also advocates setting thresholds in accordance with the tax amount and assets. (Before World War I, even the United States did not have universal suffrage. All men and women have the right to universal suffrage, that was after 1920.)

　　 In Scheer's view, the three cornerstones of social efficiency and stability are the full competition between enterprises, the effective regulation of the state, and the guarantee of the establishment of a large middle class. The first point ensures the vitality of the enterprise, and the second point makes the national policy always for the country rather than a certain class. And the third point is the cornerstone of social stability and progress! As for why Scheer has such an idea? The reason is simple, Bavaria, next door to Prussia, did just that!

There are also large companies such as BM and DB in the Kingdom of Bavaria. They are powerful but have not formed a monopoly. In order to obtain orders, they need to continuously innovate technology. In order to prevent the formation of an offensive and defensive alliance between companies, the Kingdom of Bavaria also established a Monopoly Law. At the same time, the Kingdom itself is also engaged in research on some key technologies, and may eventually be squandered because it cannot be put into production, but it has forced the company to carry out technological innovation through competition.

　　 Therefore, so far, the industrial products produced in Bavaria are almost the best in Germany, and the military industry is even more powerful. In doing so, the biggest beneficiary is naturally the state. In the process of development, the state, through policy support or rewards, has allowed some industries with limited short-term effects to obtain the first pot of gold at the beginning of their development, so as to successfully survive, such as the automobile industry and the efficiency of automobiles in the 1990s. Rather than a horse-drawn carriage, the Prussian government is unwilling to invest a small amount of huge funds to support this industry, while Bavaria is the opposite, supporting this new type of industry from a national strategic point of view. So now, Southern Industries Group’s cars are sold throughout Germany. . This is the meaning of state regulation and support.

　　During the development of Bavaria, the relationship between market economy and state regulation has been correctly handled, so it has achieved today's achievements. For this, Schercher really appreciates this. He believes that a correct national will is indispensable~www.wuxiaspot.com~ And if the Social Democrats take power, Scheer does not think they can do better than the southern one.

　　 As for the welfare of the people? This thing was done in Germany as early as the Bismarck era. The so-called welfare is actually government transfer payments. Maybe Scheer doesn’t understand this term, but he knows what it means. If we talk about the status of political parties in various kingdoms, then there is no doubt that the role of political parties in Prussia must be greater than that of Bavaria. The reason is simple. Bavaria belongs to the kind of place where no great aristocrats interfere in internal affairs and there is little room for party development. The latter is much simpler than the internal political structure of Prussia.

　　 But if you want to talk about the current welfare of the people, Bavaria over there is much better than Prussia. Even the current public welfare of Bavaria is the highest in England and France. You must know that the per capita income of Germany is not as high as that of England and France, while Bavaria is higher than that of England. Scheer does not believe that after allowing Alberts and his like to take power Do it better than Bavaria. Because Bavaria, as a royal family, actually values ​​the governance of the country more. After all, the entire country belongs to others...

In Schel’s view, in fact, whether it is a parliamentary republic or the current system in Germany, the ultimate goal is to enhance Germany’s strength. The current Kaiser may not do well in some places, but some guys in the parliament may not be able to do it. Well, as a tough general, Schel’s deepest hope is that people like Crown Prince Ruprecht will control the country, not that a group of political parties are noisy in the parliament all day long and can’t get a result for a long time. ....
