383 Serious disagreements

The powerful speech echoed in the wild, and the soldiers around them were all stunned, and a China that they had never heard of before was presented in front of everyone's eyes, and they were a little out of breath under the weight of history.

In the middle of the 19th century, Europeans' feelings towards China were very complicated, and the speed of information transmission was still very slow because the literacy rate was still very low and the penetration of the news media was not very high.

Sometimes something new happens in London, and it's been half a year since people in the countryside near Hamburg don't know about it.

In the eyes of traditional Europeans, in the mouths of old farmers in the countryside, China at this time was still full of the mystery of the legends of the Middle World. The stories in Marco Polo's travels are still being transmitted, and China can still be equated with porcelain, silk, wealth, and mystery in the hearts of the people.

In other words, China's national image in this era has not fallen to the bottom of a catastrophe, and only the high-level and intellectuals of various countries can understand how weak China is now.

If Xiao Letian's words had been said after the First Sino-Japanese Naval War, I am afraid that everyone would have been disdainful and booed, but in 1866, especially after they had created the miracle of the stone bridge, the weight would have been very heavy.

The Praetorian Guards nodded silently one by one, "Yes, China has experienced so many hardships, and that time was more difficult than this incident, but everyone has survived, and it has turned the tables again and again, can this kind of nation not admire?"

"The history of our Prussia is still short compared with the Chinese, we can defeat Denmark and Austria after decades of hard work, can't the Chinese defeat Britain and France after decades of hard work?"

"It's, it's... You must know that China is countless times larger than Britain and France combined, not to mention that Mr. Xiao's army has already taught those arrogant French a hard lesson in Grief Sangsong, and it has been proved that the French are not invincible..."

It seems that the Europeans are also helping their relatives and not helping, Xiao Letian and these Chinese soldiers have been accepted by these Prussians, and they naturally stand on Xiao Letian's side.

Leo sighed secretly in his heart, he knew that Xiao Lotian had successfully broken through, and his follow-up special report had a big section.

At this moment, Leo swept out of the corner of his eye, and suddenly noticed a familiar figure flashing outside the crowd, and when he turned his head to look, "Prime Minister?" It turned out that it was Prime Minister Bismarck standing behind him.

The soldiers didn't know how long the Prime Minister had been standing here, but looking at the strange expression on his face, it was estimated that he had heard all of Xiao Letian's speech just now.

"Prime Minister......" The soldiers stood up and saluted and made way for an alley, while Bismarck just smiled and nodded and waved at Xiao Lotian.

At this time, Xiao Letian was also half full, but the old prime minister couldn't help but call, so he had to stand up and pat his ass and walk over.

"Shaw... I need your help now, the King, Moltke the Elder, and Prince Karl are all in the command, and the atmosphere is a little bad right now, so you have to be mentally prepared...... I hope you will be able to put yourself in the shoes of a bystander and make some suggestions..."

Bismarck pulled Xiao Lotian to a secluded place and whispered, "Now the upper echelons of the empire are obviously divided into two factions, the royal family represented by the king and the prince strongly demand that the army march overnight, and the order given to the army is to capture Vienna within a week, even if it can't be defeated, the army around Benedek will be completely defeated......"

"Moltke and I objected to this order, and we thought that peace talks with the Austrians should be held at once, and now we have been arguing for an afternoon......"

As soon as Xiao Lotian heard it, he understood that Wilhelm I and his son were carried away by the victory, and they wanted to get rid of Austria in one fell swoop, and then completely unify Greater Germany.

Bismarck looked at Xiao Letian and frowned, he hesitated for a moment, and finally spoke: "Marshal Bitenfeld and Prince Dakar will never intervene in this matter, they are standard soldiers, and they have always remained neutral when it comes to the strategic issues of the country...... Now that the military tent has been evenly divided, we urgently need someone to change the balance of the scales..."

"Am I suitable? I'm just a guest of Prussia?" Xiao Lotian hesitated.

"No, precisely because you are a guest, and a guest who has just shed blood for Prussia, your words are convincing...... Resemble... Don't worry too much, Prussia is dancing on a cliff now, and any omission will be lost, and what you want will be empty..."

"It's done..."Xiao Letian slapped his thigh, "You wait for me......" Xiao Letian made up his mind, his eyes began to touch around, and finally he actually strode to the side of a soldier, and in his surprised and inexplicable gaze, he snatched the bayonet with one hand.

Thorn, stab, ...... Xiao Letian's bayonet flew up and down, making a lot of holes in the already tattered military uniform, and then grabbed a handful of dirt to wipe himself into a mess.

At this time, the atmosphere in the headquarters was already very tense, and the strong smell of gunpowder seemed to be enough. It was a fortress-like compound military tent, which was divided into countless single rooms according to its purpose, and now all the staff officers, officers, and guard officers were concentrated in the outer rooms, and there were only three high-ranking Imperial Officers in the core headquarters.

Wilhelm I, the unforgettable emperor of the German nation, it was during his reign that modern Germany emerged, and he was also crowned Emperor of Germany at Versailles, France, and later generations of Germans honored him as Wilhelm the Great.

According to historical records, William I's talent was not high, and there is no historical record of any particularly outstanding highlights of this emperor. In fact, according to the achievements he had in his later years, there must have been many royal literati who tried to help him smear and whitewash and help him brag, but none of them worked.

There are only two possibilities for this phenomenon, one is that he really has very lofty morals and is unwilling to accept the praise of future generations, and the other possibility may be that the emperor's talent is indeed very ordinary, and it has been so ordinary that others can't find the focus if they want to write.

But there is one merit that later historians have not disputed, and that is the lifelong friendship between Wilhelm the Great and Bismarck. The relationship between this emperor and Bismarck is really a bit of the relationship between Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang in the Three Kingdoms in Xiao Letian's eyes.

Wilhelm the Great gave Bismarck absolute trust, and Bismarck reciprocated to the emperor one victory after another.

But today, Wilhelm I and his good friend Prime Minister had a big red face, and he and his son Prince Karl sat side by side in chairs, staring angrily at Vienna on the military map, as if they wanted to conquer the city with murderous eyes.

Old Moltke sat across from them, staring at the king with no weakness in the slightest, his chest and the beard under his nose were blown, and if this kind of unfriendly gaze had been put on the Qing Dynasty, it would have been all over the place.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister...... When the Prime Minister of the Ryukyu Kingdom arrived, ...... was dead silent, the report of the palace guard came from outside the military tent, and then the military tent was opened, and two men in a hurry walked in.

As soon as Emperor Wilhelm heard that the guests from the East were coming, he naturally wanted to put on a noble style, and wanted to be polite with a smile on his face, but when he saw Xiao Letian's blood and fire, His Majesty the King was stunned at that time.

"Oh...... Oh my God...... Shaw: How did you do this? Didn't you say you weren't hurt?"

Xiao Letian is now covered in tattered military uniforms and is full of gaps, I don't know what it is, and there are several thick layers of gauze wrapped around his left arm, and the plasma on it has dried up.

Xiao Letian saluted and said very prickly: "Xiao Letian, commander-in-chief of the Prussian special mixed battalion...... The task has been successfully completed, and the order is now handed over to His Excellency the Chief of the General Staff..."

The king and the crown prince rolled their eyes, especially Karl, his nose was crooked, and he secretly said in his heart: "Are you sincerely cheering for old Moltke? Do you want to kidnap my father morally when you come out like this? I didn't see you in the afternoon, and your arm was fine at that time, why didn't I see the wound?"

But I can only think about it in my heart, if this is said on the spot, it will be a diplomatic dispute.

Old Moltke was inexplicably moved in his heart, Xiao Letian's move was to emphasize to the king that I was the commander-in-chief, and the Chinese recognized my command and supported me.

"Please take a break... I accept your orders...... Mr. Xiao Letian, your mission has been successfully accomplished, please forget your identity as a battlefield commander, and now please return to the identity of a prime minister..."

After speaking, Old Carl replied with a military salute to Xiao Letian with great apologies, which was an apology for Xiao Letian's rude words before. Old Moltke felt an unusual emotion in his heart, and he apologized for looking at people with colored glasses in his past.

In fact, it was not only the old Moltke who felt sorry in the command, Prince Karl's apology was even deeper, when the Chinese officer corps had just arrived in Hamburg, he was reckless and had a strict conflict with Xiao Hexin and his party, it can be said that the most prejudiced against the Chinese in the Prussian top is Prince Karl.

But a series of events happened after that made Karl change his opinion, this group of Chinese bravely rescued orphans in the Hamburg fire, dared to confront the French cavalry on the Franco-Swiss border, and now they have reached the Stone Bridge Heights and fought against the Austrian army with less than a thousand troops. The actions of these Chinese completely convinced Carl.

Because of this, when Xiao Letian walked into the command as a foreign prime minister, none of the people present raised any objections.

Bismarck cleared his throat, "Your Majesty, there is an ancient Chinese saying that the stones of other mountains can attack jade, when we can't make a decision, can we listen to some of the suggestions of distant guests, maybe we can get some inspiration......"

For Bismarck, Wilhelm I and Prince Karl could not refuse, and if they changed to another person, or changed the environment, they would never let a foreign politician participate in the strategic formulation of the Kingdom of Prussia.

But today they are facing Xiao Letian, a man who has reached a strategic alliance with Prussia and is covered in blood and fire.

In the face of Xiao Letian, if he vetoed it, he couldn't say it.
