"It's totally OK, but I want to remind you that time is fair. During this period, you can make up for it, you can join forces, and we can do it!" said Ruprecht.

At the same time, Prime Minister Hallwig also represented the German Emperor to the residence of General Crook. Yes, you read that right. The German Emperor was not only considering dealing with the parliamentary faction with Bavaria. He also wanted to restore the glory of old Prussia at all times, as Ruprecht expected, and became the leader of the German Empire again! The easiest and most direct way is undoubtedly to contact Crook and then use military means to remove the entire parliamentary faction!

"Your visit really surprised me." General Crook said calmly as he looked at Prime Minister Hallwig who came to visit him.

"Since the split of old Prussia, I have never seen His Majesty the Emperor, His Excellency, or any senior Prussian officials again except for the celebration of the victory of the Norwegian Sea Battle. I have become accustomed to being thrown aside like a rag. I understand your thoughts. You think we are traitors and accomplices of the splitting old Prussia." Admiral Crook leaned forward slightly and said, "That's good, Your Excellency Prime Minister, what is your purpose now? Do you think my old bone is useful again?" Admiral Crook's words were very bad.

"It is hard for me to understand why you are so hostile to us as a veteran general who once accompanied the rise of Prussia, as an old soldier who participated in the Prussia-Austria and Franco-Prussia War, as one of the most trusted generals of His Majesty the Emperor, why do you have such great hostility towards us? It is hard for me to understand that you would rather cooperate with Bavaria than meet an old friend from old Prussia." Prime Minister Holweg said with a complicated face.

"From a personal point of view, I think that I can reach this position today, not by the promotion of some people, but by me shooting at one stroke. I have accumulated merit to this level today. I have a clear conscience," said Admiral Crook.

"As for why we cooperate with Bavaria? Or from my personal perspective, first of all, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince gave me enough respect. What he respected is not my power or my status. When I was the commander of the army and most generals on the Western Front would refer to my opinions, His Royal Highness would not look at me differently because of this. At the end of the war, our role was greatly reduced. When some people were preparing to use the opportunity to rectify Hindenburg to rectify me, His Royal Highness helped me overcome this difficulty. From this point, I respect him for the rest of my life, whether he is the Crown Prince of Bavaria or a civilian. He said that we will not have any trouble. This is the promise of a Crown Prince to a civilian, and he did it. It was that simple." Crook said.

"Well, I admit that when the war was just over, some people really wanted to be unfavorable to you. His Majesty the Emperor did nothing, and I don't want to refute anything, but even because of personal factors, your respect for the crown prince should not affect your judgment of national affairs. The individual is the individual, and the country is the country!" Prime Minister Holweg did not intend to bother too much about this issue. The reason was very simple. When the Western Front Land War just ended, the German Emperor really planned to deal with him because of Crook's neutral attitude, and this could not be whitewashed.

"That's great, let's talk about it. When you come here, with my help, what can you do that is very beneficial to the empire?" Crook asked.

"Now there is an opportunity, an opportunity to restore the glory of old Prussia, and we can rebuild the already weak central government! Under the leadership of His Majesty, the German Prussia and Prussia will be reunited, and our territory will extend from Switzerland to Minsk. The new Prussia will have more than 700,000 square kilometers of land and a population of more than 60 million. This country will be the strongest country on the European continent, stronger than the Napoleon Empire. Under the leadership of Prussia, whether Bavaria or other states will reunite, we will be the core of this world." Prime Minister Holweg described his perfect empire blueprint to Crucker.

"Well, this blueprint is really attractive. If things really go like this, then it is worth my efforts for it. But I hope you can answer some questions in advance, which can be considered a deal between us." Admiral Crook said.

"Please speak," said Prime Minister Holwig.

"If, we did what you said, then what can my subordinates and I get?" Admiral Crook said a very realistic question.

"You will become the new chief of staff of the empire, and your rights will be greater than the old Moltke. His Majesty the Emperor will give you sufficient support and trust. All officers participating in this operation will also receive promotion and rewards. You and those close to you will become the top presence in the empire. Your family and descendants will be born noble." Prime Minister Holwig said.

"Is this considered a wish to be appointed as an official?" General Crook asked.

"This is not a wish, but the promise of His Majesty the Emperor, just like Crown Prince Ruprecht promised, he will definitely fulfill it." Prime Minister Holwig said.

"If this is the case, then I can only say that this promise is terrible." Crook shook his head and said, "If all officers will receive promotions and rewards, then I wonder how large the German Empire needs to maintain to accommodate so many people? Or is the future generals already so cheap, more than our tanks?"

"You misunderstood what I mean, and my words can be understood as all officers will be properly placed." Prime Minister Holwig said immediately.

"Well, I accept this explanation. Then, to talk about the next question, middle and high-level officers have been placed, what about millions of low-level officers and ordinary soldiers? What should they do? And those disabled, their treatment and compensation? I am a civilian step by step, and my name does not represent the character Feng, which represents a prominent origin. Even when I was at my best, I stayed away from a considerable number of so-called noble people. You can say that my situation is too small to get rid of the bad nature of my origin. But I must say that the Junker aristocratic system is very problematic. They monopolize social resources and limit the channels for advancement. This is not good for the country. And I am very disgusted with the so-called birthright noble!"
