C2560 Two unified routes (1/2)

Maybe it was because the king had mentioned the Princess Cissie's name, which allowed him to calm down a little, but he was still very excited.

The young king clenched his fists until his knuckles were white, and said in a trembling voice, ”How do we face Prussia? This question is really too good. I've already thought about it for a long time, so I can give you a clear answer right now! ”

”From the very beginning, I have never accepted Bismark's method of unification of Germany. In my eyes, the German Empire should include the Austria which will become the big German Federation!”

”It's not a small-scale German Empire like what Bismark did. Germany wants to unify and definitely cannot abandon Austria!”

”This is my bottom line, and also the bottom line of countless Germany people!”

Xiao Letian sighed in his heart. After fighting for so long, the crux of the problem was still here, and in the end, everyone still had a completely different philosophy towards the united Germany.

First of all, the concept of German Nationality was just too widespread. This race that originated from the ancient Germans had their own unique language, culture and traditions!

If one were to use language as an important indicator to differentiate the races, then the current Bavaria, Hei Sen, Prussia, Austria … The vast area was mostly filled with people talking in German, the people that lived there all admitted that they were from Germany!

Historically, many elite citizens had always hoped that the German-speaking lands would unite to form a Great German Empire, which was also known as the Divine Roman Empire in the past!

In the German Nationality, the vast majority of people had such ideals!

Bismark was a very, very practical statesman, he did not have the time to have illusionary dreams. What he advocated was feasibility, execution, dominance, and not the halo of the fake Great Void!

Bismark's plan to unify Germany was to completely throw out the Austria. Although the two countries were in the German region and both recognized themselves as the same people, the influence of the Austria was too high!

The Prime Minister was very clear that if the future Germany included the Austria, then he would have to face the problem of decentralization. Was it Prussia or the Austria? Could it be that he had to use the second king system?

This uncertainty is bound to result in a great internal drain of German national power, and the centralized state cannot be formed, so the national resources cannot be effectively unified.

At that time, it would be a Germany in name! However, in private, the various kingdoms were still doing their own thing. They all had their own policies. Everyone's strength could not be used together, and even if they had the strength, they could not be tied together!

Therefore, Bismark wanted to kick Austria out. He wanted to establish a new Germany with Prussia as the main force, and he wanted William I to ascend to the throne of the Emperor. He wanted all the kingdoms below to submit to Berlin!

The military, diplomatic, and financial powers of all kingdoms... They would hand everything over to Berlin. This way, the entire German national machine would be able to work together. Only by concentrating all the power would they be able to better carry out the Industrial Revolution and do more big things!

That was Bismark's plan, but it made many of the kings of German Federation feel uneasy, such as Ludwig II.

Although he was a fairy tale king, he was not stupid. He knew that once Bismark's dream had been fulfilled, and the Bavaria had been incorporated into the banner of Berlin, he would become a king with no real power.
