The Rise of the Empire

The meeting place became very quiet in an instant. Everyone looked at Crown Prince Ruprecht. They knew that this crown prince had always regarded himself as promoting the development of the empire, and what he had done was indeed a dedication to the empire. Everyone is waiting, waiting for the prince to get angry and immediately retaliate. Even Barthes is ready to cut with Buhler when necessary. Anyway, Scheidemann has been in prison under the pressure of Bavaria, and now there are many Buhler people.

　　 "In this situation, do you have a better way?" Ruprecht looked at Buhler and said. "You are different from Albert and others. Perhaps your thoughts are the simplest among the top parliamentarians. Then, you made the most direct and efficient choice under this simple thought. And what was the result? "

"Your actions have directly caused the weakening of the current central government. And now I reintegrate them together. In fact, you can come to this meeting with the intention of compromise. If you have a better way, you can say Come out, and see if everyone here can accept it? And if there is no my proposal today and the agreement cannot be reached, what will be the result? Will you continue to solve the problem with swords, guns and blood?"

　　 Then Ruprecht ignored Buhler. In the eyes of the prince, this former colonel was a guy with a good idea, a simple mind, a relatively good military quality, but a poor political mind. Although he suddenly jumped out to interrupt and made the prince feel a little uncomfortable, he directly led to what the prince wanted to say. The next topic is something that is not listed in the meeting memo but must be mentioned. That is to establish a technology and engineering control system independent of the government!

"But what you said does have some truth. The government's efficiency is reduced due to the multi-level parliamentary approval system. The passage of a draft will be affected by many factors, resulting in a decline in government efficiency. For this, I also thought of a solution, that It is to establish an organization independent of the government that is responsible for the research and development of major technologies and the implementation of engineering projects. The projects led by this organization will not be changed due to changes in the government and the annual resolutions of the parliament. This is to ensure that the empire is in place Leading position in key science and technology fields." The prince said the next topic.

When the prince said this, everyone in the room didn’t care about whether Ruprecht would take care of the former colonel, because now almost everyone has four words in their minds. , That is the "Navy Act"!

　　What is the most important problem solved by this bill? It is to make the construction of the navy into law, thus evading the annual review mechanism of the parliament, so that the construction of the navy can continue. Speaking more clearly is to solve the problem of money and staffing! As long as the navy's budget does not exceed the standard, the navy can get its own funds directly from the treasury and expand its fleet. This is also one of the reasons why Tirpitz has been hesitant about shipbuilding budgets in history. It’s easy to say that the budget is not exceeded. If it exceeds the budget, the Navy Act will no longer exist. In order to be able to “spend money freely” Tirpitz Ci would rather chop the performance of battleships than let the "Navy Act" be repealed!

　　 However, judging from the current situation, this Bavarian heir seems to want to make the special case of the Naval Act bigger? Some similar bills have been made in other engineering and technology research and development?

　　 After thinking of this, some politically keen people also realized that the result of such a bill would lead to the weakening of the prime minister’s power and the redistribution of major domestic interests! The former is naturally easy to say, once some projects have a bill, then there will be a special agency responsible, and it is difficult for the prime minister to intervene. As for the latter? It is very clear how many German warships have been built by the Brom-Fors shipyard of Bavaria since His Royal Highness dominated the navy.

　　 Huge projects must mean huge capital and material benefits. And if the barriers between states are broken and the competition is fully carried out, then efficiency will be improved. It is also certain that the empire has something more cost-effective. However, it is certain that a considerable number of enterprises will suffer. Come, this will be a winner-takes-all ending.

Imagine if there was an organization in Germany before World War I that unified tenders for weapons such as tanks and assault guns, then cricket tanks and wasp assault guns would have won the bid, and then there would be no more companies such as Krupp and Rheinmetall. What's the matter, the entire German armored force will be directly equipped with armored vehicles from Bavaria. This is a good thing for the military, but it may not be necessary for Prussian domestic military industrial enterprises or even the economy. Military industrial enterprises that cannot get orders will inevitably have difficulty in survival. And once a military industry enterprise ends up, what about tens of thousands of workers? If this expands to upstream and downstream enterprises, more people will be affected! This cost will be too big for everyone to accept!

"His Royal Highness, this is an interference to the rights of the state~www.wuxiaspot.com~Any state can choose products that suit its own national conditions. This adaptation is not simply a product quality, you may have to consider it. Other things. Back then, when the military industry of the Kingdom of Bavaria had not risen, the imperial government did not force you to purchase Krupp and Rheinmetall products, right?" Prince Albert said.

　　Will the so-called swords and guns enter Kuma and release Nanshan after the war? This is indeed the case in terms of overall trends. But for the German army, the upgraded military equipment still needs to be upgraded, and the new arms that need to be formed, such as the strategic bomber force, still need to be formed. Think of the total force of the three German armies after the war, which combined more than 1.3 million, and the colonial troops that might be carrying out missions everywhere. Calculating the vehicles and other supporting equipment needed by the army, everyone here knows that this piece of cake is really not small! Judging from the current trend, the prince of Bavaria seems a bit ambitious! So, after figuring this out, even if they are not willing to have a head-on conflict with Bavaria, the Kaiser faction and the parliament faction will still not be silent!

"Full competition will indeed get the best products. But from another aspect, once a company loses in a critical competition, it is very likely that it will not get orders for a long time. The final result It is bankruptcy. Of course, bankruptcy is a very common phenomenon in the market economy, but have you ever thought that the most direct result of doing this is to form a monopoly, and the winner takes all! The final result is that competition produces monopoly, and monopoly eliminates competition! After Barthes finished speaking, he glanced at the prince a little nervously: "And you turned out to hate monopoly."
