The Rise of the Empire

"First of all, I welcome everyone to participate in this meeting held in my personal capacity. In this parliament, the King of Saxony will participate in person, and I represent Bavaria, Prince Albert represents Prussia, and Duke Albrecht represents the symbol. The Grand Duchy of Tenburg, as well as representatives of the Grand Duke of Baden and parliamentary parties, it can be said that all of us now can represent more than 80% of the rights and population of the entire empire."

"Secondly, I think you should be more satisfied with the interests of the Eastern Front in the previous stage. So today, I think we need to talk about some other things, temporarily abandon the identities of our respective states and political parties, and think about the future. How should our empire develop? I think this is a very challenging task, even more difficult than our military parade on the Champs-Elysées. You can treat today’s meeting as a salon-like discussion, and you can speak freely. , Don’t worry about saying the wrong thing.” Ruprecht said.

　　 Although the talk was more serious, Ruprecht still tried to make the atmosphere more relaxed. Representatives of the five parties sat together with their entourage. The German emperor is the Grand Duke of Baden, Klein Moch and Prince Albert, the parliament is Albert, Barth and Buhler, and Bavaria is himself and the Earl of Schelling. As for the Grand Duke of Württemberg Albrecht and the King of Saxony are sitting together. They know very well that this time, letting them participate in this closed-door meeting is actually to save face. After all, the two kingdoms together are not as good as three. A giant arm is powerful!

"If there is nothing else, I think we can start?" Ruprecht said. Before the meeting, all the participants had obtained a meeting minutes, and all parties discussed their own issues. And research, and the first issue discussed at this meeting is how to treat the more than 30 million Russians, Ukrainians, and Poles in the newly added region! This problem is a problem that everyone must face, and it has little to do with the central authority, so it is the most suitable entry point.

"I personally think that as long as the newly incorporated kingdoms do not oppose the rule of the empire and are actively willing to integrate into the imperial society, for example, if they accept German and are willing to place their lives and production under the rule of the empire, then we They can be treated as citizens, and they want to retain some of their own culture. While suppressing some of these dissidents, letting more people live a good life is the best way to stabilize the regime." Rupp Recht said.

If it is normal, Prince Ruprecht’s ideas can only be said to be naive, but the situation is different now, because when the war is over, the Russians and Ukrainians left in the German and Austrian territory will find that they are In the east of the country, a brand new country different from all previous countries stands tall. This red giant brings not only military and national pressure to the world, but also a severe ideological impact! People are always frightened and endangered by the unknown, and those nobles can easily choose between the Red Soviet Union and Germany, because under the German rule, they may lose a lot of money and privileges. For the former, it would be fatal! Ideological fear will even exceed the resentment among nations. This is the starting point for the crown prince to put forward this theory!

　　 After the feared aristocracy is willing to cooperate with the German government, it becomes possible to begin to establish a better and good order. Next, whether these new territories can be completely added depends on the follow-up policies and social development. If the social development on their own side is much better than that of the Soviet Union, then people will naturally make a choice. If there is another great famine similar to that before the Second World War in the Soviet Union, I am afraid that the Russians and Ukrainians who have become Germans will be secretly lucky, right?

"I do not agree with this statement. They were our enemies. In the war we used weapons to kill each other frantically. This hatred cannot be eliminated in a short time. The most important thing is that what we need is the land and its contents. Resources, not the population above, we already have more than 70 million Germans, and this number is enough! If they want to survive in this land, then they must recognize their status." Albert Still stick to his point of view.

　　 "I'm afraid this is not just a question of nationalism? More importantly, I'm afraid it is for my political status!" Ruprecht said in his heart. Although political parties have been in Germany for more than half a century, Germany is not a political party country. The number of members of all political parties is small and relatively loose. Albert is worried that if other ethnic groups in the newly added territory are treated as citizens, what if they form a party with their own ethnic group at the core? How many members are there in the Social Democratic Party? But only 1 million? For the tens of millions of Russians and Ukrainians who have merged into the empire, is it really difficult for them to create a party with 1 million members? Not necessarily!

Albert’s goal is to achieve universal suffrage ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and after universal suffrage, if the social democratic party’s ruling status is to be guaranteed, then the number of voters must be limited, and if a large number of new areas also enjoy citizenship rights from other ethnic groups , How can the ruling status of the Social Democratic Party be guaranteed?

"Mr. Albert, you are putting party interests above national interests! We can conquer a piece of land with swords, but we must not use violence and prisons to rule a piece of land. At this point, I think Albert The prince should be deeply impressed. In the long history of the Prussian royal family, there has never been a lack of contributions from foreign generals and troops. Even in the Napoleonic period, in the era of the existence of the Grand Duchy of Warsaw, there are still many Junker nobles born in Poland. Serve for the empire. Our ancestors can complete national integration, and our generation has no reason not to."

"Of course, what is more important is that the actual conditions force us to take this path. Appropriate violence and the policy of tenderness can bring the frightened people back to order. And relying solely on violence will sharpen the conflicts in the occupied territories. What I need is one. Long-term peace and prosperity in the country, not a lifeless prison!" The prince paused and continued.

"You can understand what I said if you go over the colonial history of the empire in Africa. We can't effectively rule the colonies in Africa with violence and butcher knives, let alone this is in Europe? And the example of Africa has shown that it is appropriate Help the establishment of order." The prince said.
