Chapter 79： The darkest congress (1/2)
The 5 members of the Frankfurt Preparatory Committee were very ugly, and the Austrian delegation made a strong protest on the grounds that the Austrian Empire was a whole.
The delegates of the Frankfurt conference are allocated according to population. In theory, a representative is elected from 50,000 people. If the non-German regions are not kicked out, this conference is a special session of Austria.
During this period, the two states of Schleswig and Holstein also belonged to Denmark, and Austria also controlled parts of Italy. In terms of population, Austria exceeded the total of the Little German regions.
Even if the protest does not matter, anyway, Hungary and other areas really do not belong to the German region, and they are not afraid of bullying.
However, I did not expect that the Austrian representative was very bachelor to pass the matter to reporters, but also openly opened the shady of the meeting.
Because of the customs union, Prussia, the most developed German state, has the most influence among capitalists, and this conference did have a clear tendency.
By now, everyone knows that the Austrian delegation is here to smash the field and not allow Austrians to attend the meeting?
Can this still be regarded as the German Preparatory Congress? It is estimated that the Austrians will leave happily. The parliament, which does not have much legitimacy, will become a laughing stock after a short absence.
”All of us, we must take action. The recent public opinion is very bad for us. If we continue, the enemy's plot will succeed!” Mei Lin said seriously
The media revealed their dark history and did not arouse their vigilance. The capitalists in the world are all in a hurry. Who has no dark history?
What they are most worried about now is the Austrian delegation doing things. As the largest state in the German region, Austria often plays the role of leading brother.
Whether they like it or not, Austria's influence in the German state is huge. Without Austria's participation in the parliament, it would not be possible to gain public approval.
”If we simply renamed it, we called the Little German Congress and let the Austrians get away!” A Prussian representative suggested
”Impossible! Winstor, you are splitting the great German empire. If it was only the Little German Congress, then we are also withdrawing!” The representative of Bavaria objected.
The main purpose of this Congress was to expand the political influence of the bourgeoisie. The unification of the German region was actually second. The Frankfurt conference was not as important as described in the history books.
Otherwise, in the end, neither the Kingdom of Prussia will recognize this meeting. The conference is too idealistic, and the rights and interests of the capitalists are infinitely expanded. It is not at all feasible.
The interests of capitalists are not the same. The interests of capitalists in different regions and industries are often different.
The establishment of the Little German Empire is in the interest of capitalists in North Germany, who can avoid competition from Austrian capitalists.
But it is different for many capitalists in the South German region, especially the Kingdom of Bavaria. The local economy and Austria are very closely connected. Once they are separated, it will be a disaster for them.
Because of the protest from the Austrian delegation, the General Assembly has not yet begun. Naturally, there is no solution to the problem by voting. If the support of the South German regional representatives is lost, this meeting will not be held.
