"Goodbye, Count Teady... It's better to be funny than the Earl going all the way... It's a good thing for the Earl to return to China......" Xiao Lotian stood beside Bismarck, waving his arms to see off the carriage in the distance.

The muscles on Bismarck's face couldn't help but throb, "Shaw... My old friend is called Derby, not Tsurby...... The pronunciation of your word is inaccurate...... Look at you, why don't you change it? Remember his name is ...... Derby..."

"Yes, it's a joke...... Why do you say that you and I, a Chinese, are calculating English pronunciation problems? You are not curious about what we talked about? And Count Tirbie didn't talk to you? This doesn't look like a friend?"

Of course, Bismarck didn't know that Xiao Lotian had mispronounced the sound on purpose, and he didn't know what the funny comparison meant, and of course he wouldn't continue to dwell on this boring question.

"Derby is a well-known foul in European politics, this man has very few friends, and even if he has a few friends, he interacts with his friends in a different way than ordinary people. Derby only respects the strong, and instead of showing the slightest sympathy for the weak, he even takes the initiative to mock them......"

Xiao Letian smiled when he heard it, "Hehe, yes, I also feel it, this is the master who catches a toad and has to take out the urine bubble, this kind of person's popularity will not be good......"

Bismarck had obviously not heard this oriental saying, but when he thought about the scene, he couldn't help but laugh, "Haha, your analogy is inappropriate but funny...... Yes, Derby's personality is unpleasant, but you can't deny that he is very suitable for the work of a politician, with a cold face and a black heart, and with such a hedgehog, any enemy will have a headache ..."

"Derby doesn't actually treat me as a friend, he just treats me as a strong man who can be respected, as long as the Prussia under my control becomes stronger and stronger, then he will respect me more and more..."

Speaking of this, Bismarck smiled weirdly at Xiao Lotian, "I can feel Derby's attitude towards you, you have succeeded in this time, I am really curious about what you have in your head, how can you convince Derby?"

Xiao Letian shrugged his shoulders, "It's actually very simple, the Prime Minister of the British Empire personally came to meet me for this small role, which shows that Britain actually doesn't want to deal with me at all...... And the other point is even simpler, I will clearly tell him, Xiao Lotian is the happiest against me is the French, and the derby understands everything......"

The old fox at Bismarck understood everything in a flick of his eyes, and he nodded, "Yes, you really grasped the crux of the problem, in the eyes of the British, helping France will bring this competitor closer and closer to you, and help you...... Hehe, no matter how much you help, you can't catch up......"

"Oh, I may be a little more polite than I said, I don't think you will be able to catch up with England in a hundred years...... Well, yes, the UK made the right choice..."

Xiao Letian's nose was crooked, and he said in his heart Although what you said was true, this tone was too polite, right?

"Alright, dear Shaw... Don't look at me like that, I've come from Berlin and haven't even eaten lunch, so let your chef hurry up and get ready......"

The remnants of the table in the garden were removed, and the waiters were busy nervously, and while they were waiting for the feast to begin, Bismarck told Xiao Lotian good news.

"Just yesterday, the Preparatory Peace Treaty No. 26 of Nicholsburg was signed, and the Austrian Emperor Franz Joseph was very satisfied with the terms of the treaty, and the whole atmosphere of tension in Vienna was discharged...... Not only that, but I also conveyed some news to the Emperor through certain channels......"

Bismarck smiled and said, "Now that the Austrians know what you said in the Sadowa command, they even take credit for convincing Your Majesty......"

"Huh?" Xiao Letian was stunned, "No, I just followed your train of thought, Prime Minister, to organize the language and convince the Prussian king that you should be the hero?

Xiao Lotian blinked his eyes, although he said unbelievable words, he was already singing in his heart. The day before yesterday, Prince Karl sent someone to send a truckload of fine wine, and I heard the prince's chief of guard secretly say that this was a thank you gift to Xiao Letian.

After careful questioning, as expected, there were some very small foreign bodies in the depths of Prince Karl's throat, thanks to Xiao Letian's timely reminder, and now the prince has begun to carry out secret conservative treatment.

Xiao Letian's trip to Europe not only gained the friendship of Bismarck, but also the friendship of two generations of Prussian kings, and the alliance between the two sides has been like iron.

And today's secret talk with Prime Minister Derby, I dare not say that the relationship between the alliance has been established, but Xiao Lotian can be sure in his heart that in the future, Britain and himself will also enter a period of relative intimacy. It is in Britain's national interest to set up one more enemy for France.

The olive branch thrown by Britain was already an unexpected gift package for Xiao Letian, but he didn't expect Bismarck to send a bigger gift package today, and the Habsburgs actually appreciated it...

"Oh God... I killed thousands of Austrian soldiers in the Stone Bridge Heights, and I was even ready to be retaliated against by Austria, how could there be such an unexpected ending?" Xiao Letian scratched his head in puzzlement.

"It's very simple, His Majesty and the royal family want too much, Vienna has long been psychologically prepared for the worst, and they have even begun to mobilize the citizens of Vienna to form a militia and prepare to fight us in the streets...... But Austria never imagined that in the final negotiations we would ask for so little that it would be different from the judgment of all previous observers..."

"Such a big surprise that even Napoleon III smashed several plates, and the Russians were dumbfounded, do you think the Austrian Emperor can not be ecstatic?

"War is always dead, and a mature politician will not dwell on such trivial issues...... Dear Xiao, your power is still very weak, although you are trying to show your muscles to the world, show your ruthlessness. But I know that what you need most now is time for peaceful development......"

"Let more politicians, forces, and countries owe you favors, which is still good for your future development..."

Xiao Letian's eye sockets were hot at that time, and he quickly coughed vigorously as if spitting in his throat, and it took a long time to hold back the tears that were almost about to fall.

"That...... What's that...... Let's have Chinese food at noon today, I asked my wife to cook, and the dumplings she made were very good......" Xiao Lotian changed the topic awkwardly.

Bismarck laughed and gave Xiao Letian a cigar, "Okay, let's eat Chinese food today, after I tasted your wife's craftsmanship, I became more and more interested in Chinese food...... When you return to China, you must help me hire a few top Chinese chefs, and I can give a high salary......"

The friendship between men is not by words, but by doing, and the Bismarck that is now shown in front of Xiao Letian is what he looks like outside the history books, another appearance under the mask of iron and blood.

Or, as Bismarck himself said, his iron will is only for the rise of the Prussian state, he is only to deter all heretics with force, he just wants to use power and coercion to gather the limited national power.

Success, but the German nation will be remembered forever; failure, it is nothing more than carrying the infamy of thousands of years, and shouldering the burden of the rise of a nation with the strength of one person, and the spiritual world of such a person is not something that ordinary people can figure out.

After a long silence, Bismarck suddenly spoke: "At the current pace of negotiations, I think that a formal contract can be concluded in August, when there will be a grand celebration in Prussia, and there will be a military parade, and I hope you will participate...... And your plan, if you put it on at that time, I think it will work better......"

Xiao Lotian shook his head, "No, there is no time, even if I leave for China and go to the Sinai Peninsula now, it will be mid-October when I return to East Asia...... I really don't know how long my brothers will last, I'm really scared... I'm afraid that when I return to the Ryukyus, the French flag will fly on the pier..."

"You don't have to persuade me, even if you persuade Britain to put pressure on Napoleon III and make him compromise now, it will be too late in time, and when the latest French order is sent to East Asia, I am afraid that the daylilies will be cold. ”

Xiao Letian rubbed his temples fiercely, and finally said fiercely, "I'll leave Hamburg in three days, help me prepare the boat, it's time for me to go home......"

Bismarck looked at Xiao Lotian and said with great regret, "Yes, you Chinese said that there is no banquet in the world, and now it is finally time to separate, and I don't know if we can meet again after this separation...... I'm afraid we'll only be able to talk about that few words in letters and telegrams in the future......"

Bismarck is right, in the era before the advent of airplanes, it was very difficult for humans to travel around the world, and the fastest one-way journey from China to Europe was three months, and there were many dangers along the way.

Xiao Lotian and Bismarck are not ordinary rich people, they can have leisure to travel around the world on a sea boat, they have endless official business around them, their private lives have been dedicated to their country and nation, unless it is a state visit, the chance to meet is really minimal.

This farewell, maybe it's really a farewell...

Two foxes, an old man and a young fox, took off all their disguises at this moment, and at this moment they forgot their identity as a politician, and they looked at each other, sympathizing with each other, and couldn't help it.

Suddenly, the hands of the two were clasped together, and almost at the same time, the two actually said the same sentence.

"You mix with the East, I mix with the West, the world is very big, enough to divide ...... Share... Encouragement..."

, the thinking of the political zhì family, that is not the thinking of an honest person, and even the distinction is so individual.
