at first, the dnvp tried to avoid an internal split caused by the up-coming dawes plan vote by insisting upon several conditions in exchange for voting for the dawes plan such as the appointment of admiral alfred von tirpitz as chancellor, firing stresemann as the foreign minister and the removal of otto braun as a prussian minister-president together with the rest of the social democrats from the prussian government. the british historian edgar feuchtwanger commented that the demand that the anglophobic admiral von tirpitz be appointed chancellor at a time when the british government was applying heavy pressure on france to reduce reparations on germany showed that dnvp had a stunning "lack of realism". the chancellor wilhelm marx rejected all of the dnvp conditions and informed the party that they either vote for or against the dawes plan, thereby settling off a bitter factional battle within the dnvp. in addition, stresemann—who had privately bristled at admiral tirpitz's charges that he was conducting a foreign policy of "ohnmachtspolitik" (policy of powerlessness) before the allies—asked the german embassies in london, paris, and washington to inquire of their respective host governments what would be their reaction to tirpitz becoming chancellor. the very negative international response that the prospect of tirpitz as the chancellor generated was then leaked by stresemann to various "reichstag" deputies as a way of showing how absurd the dnvp was in demanding that tirpitz being appointed chancellor, and how isolated germany would be with tirpitz as the leader. in an editorial, the "new york world" wrote "to any german who wishes his country to enjoy the benefit of an international loan, it must be sufficiently obvious that the mere mention of the bearded hero of the submarine offensive is madness pure and simple" while "the daily telegraph" of london wrote in a leader (editorial) that the prospect of tirpitz becoming chancellor was "a masterpiece of folly". the french government issued a statement saying tirpitz as chancellor would be the end of any effort to improve franco-german relations while the american and belgian ambassadors both issued warnings to the german government that tirpitz as chancellor would be a source of tension in their relations with germany. the british ambassador lord d'abernon warned that "if the germans want to find a closed front hostile to them they cannot do anything better but to make tirpitz chancellor of the "reich"". the clash between stresemann and tirpitz over the dawes plan marked the beginning of a long feud that was to continue until stresemann's death in 1929. right from the moment that admiral tirpitz was elected to the "reichstag" in may 1924, he emerged as stresemann's most "tenacious adversary" in the "reichstag" and presented himself as the unabashed champion of german power politics, a man unafraid, indeed proud to state his belief that germany should be the world's greatest power.
