In fact, although Albert's assessment of the situation is a bit too optimistic, the Social Democratic Party does have some influence in other states, except for the three free cities and the Olsace-Lorraine region that everyone knows. , Among the people attending the conference, there were still several representatives of the pro-kingdom. For example, Leopold IV, Prince Lippe!

"First of all, welcome everyone here to work together for our common cause and goal!" Albert said after looking around the participants: "Compared to Bavaria and the Kaiser faction, I think our biggest advantage is Because our goals are highly consistent! There is no competition between states and nations, nor will we quarrel over a certain colony or privilege, because our goal is the administrative power of the entire empire. We will use practical actions. Tell everyone that the medieval feudalism is outdated. Only us and the people behind us can lead this country to a more glorious tomorrow!"

　　 "We have representatives of political parties, such as me, and princes of the empire, such as the noble Prince Lippe." He said that Albert owed Leopold IV slightly. "There are also senior executives, such as the Mayor of Klein from Hamburg. We represent the largest class in Germany. And this time will be our first battle as a political force that can dominate the empire!"

　　 Albert's words are also correct. Whether it is a free city or those pro-kingdoms that choose to cooperate with the Social Democratic Party, their strength is too small, generally speaking, it is a square kilometer city. Do you still want to expand outside the territory and population? Expansion depends on whether the foundation is good or not? Therefore, these small states are also very open. They think that instead of being a "mayor" with no real power, it is better to join party politics in order to obtain more benefits at the empire level. What is there in this world? Is it easier to profit than those who specify policies? Therefore, some small states began to transform from aristocrats to party leaders a long time ago.

"Our main purpose this time is not to contend for territory on the Eastern Front. Our main task is the administrative power of the empire. In order to achieve this goal, we must do the following. The first generation point is that we must cancel In the hierarchical parliament system, our main supporters are civilians, intellectuals, and merchant financiers, and their votes are suppressed in the hierarchical parliament. As long as we can achieve universal suffrage, then the upper house of the imperial parliament is our world, and the prime minister is also our world. It can only come from among us," Albert said.

"I am afraid that there will be some difficulties. The Social Democratic Party has very limited influence in southern Germany, and states like Bavaria are very repulsive of foreign parties. If these big states form a new party, then in the future parliament China, our position is not stable. After all, even the largest Social Democratic Party has only more than 1 million members, while Bavaria has a population of more than 13 million. At this time, the army alone is estimated to exceed 800,000. I think if If one person has one vote, the crown prince Ruprecht can turn around and pull up a party that can rival the Democratic Party. Apart from anything else, just the army in the hands of the crown prince will give them 99% of the vote. Vote to their crown prince, not to you." Klein from Hamburg said.

　　 I have to say that to be the mayor of a free city, Klein's political sense is still very keen. If there is a big party as a supporter, then Klein's achievements may not be lower than Albert. To be honest, compared to other big countries, Germany’s party system is relatively immature. Apart from anything else, it is nothing in terms of the population covered. The Social Democratic Party is the largest party in Germany with only 1 million members.

　　 You know, Germany at this time has a population of more than 70 million! (Higher than in history) Historically, there have even been events in Germany where political groups were larger than parties, such as the Naval Association in Tirpitz and the Military Association after the end of World War I. Therefore, Klein is very clear that if some influential people want to form a certain party, their competitiveness in the imperial parliament may not be worse than that of the Social Democratic Party, such as the Crown Prince Ruprecht.

"However, the number of party members is only the basic board of a party, and we can radiate and influence more people." Albert said with some dissatisfaction. In his opinion, his situation is very good. Why do some people always fail to see the benefits? Instead, just look for the problem?

"Mr. Albert's words are very reasonable, and Mr. Klein's words must also be taken seriously. The Social Democratic Party only has a certain influence in the original Prussian territory. After the war, in addition to the original population of Germany, the new territory There is also a large population, what do they do?" Leopold IV said. In fact, the prince did not say clearly that the Germans on the front line are also very dissatisfied with what the parliamentary faction has done~lightnovelpub.net~ Although they will not fight the civil war, if their aversion passes If the votes are used to vent, it will be enough for the Social Democrats to go around!

"Of course, those new populations cannot be included in our voters. They are all Ukrainians, Russians, and Poles. A few months ago, they were our mortal enemies. Even now, they live in a region that has merged with Germany. The territory of the empire does not mean that we should give them citizenship! They are our slaves!" Albert's answer is very simple. Although Albert advocates democracy, he is also a racist, saying To be honest, if we speak of national assimilation, the Kaiser is better than the Social Democratic Party. After all, many Junker nobles have said from their ancestors that they are all Poles, and they are still loyal to the Kaiser.

　　 "This is probably a very troublesome issue. If some kingdoms are willing to give those people citizenship, but the empire's central government does not recognize it, it will cause a lot of trouble." Klein said in his heart. There is a hunch in his heart that in this meeting, someone will always take this issue against the Social Democratic Party!

　　 At this time, both Klein and Leopold IV felt very uneasy in the venue, because Albert was a bit too optimistic in front of them. And under Albert's strength, everyone is reluctant to continue to make some comments, because they know that before Albert hits the wall, this arrogant guy couldn't listen to other people's opinions, and was very ironic. Yes, the parliamentary faction who considers itself the most united is actually the most divided!
