Although Crown Prince Edward was playful and lustful, he was not mediocre, and when the Führer told him to get down to business, he immediately listened with a solemn face, "Please speak ......"

"Wake up, my crown prince, I am here today to talk to you about this visit of the Chinese, and the biggest threat I am talking about is none other than the two men in front of me!"

"The nearest is Prussia's Bismarck, and the farther is the Chinese Xiao Lotian!"

Listening to Benjamin's categorical voice, Crown Prince Edward couldn't help but be stunned: "How is this possible? Prussia and the Chinese? Hahaha, are you kidding?"

"No! I'm not kidding, don't you really look at all sorts of intelligence about Prussia, an ambitious country that has had a faint sense of threat from the very beginning of its industrial development......

"A small landlocked country in Europe, facing the situation of the fragmentation of the whole of Germany, can cultivate politics internally and practice martial arts externally, and both military and industrial hands have hardened......

"Look at Prussia, which has become a large construction site, and the total mileage of roads and railways has surpassed France to become the second largest in Europe...... Of course, we don't need to mention the extreme example of Tsarist Russia's huge territory, let's just say that among these advanced countries in central and southern Europe, Prussia already has the strength to challenge France!"

"It's only been a few years? When Napoleon was alive, Prussia was just a small country, trembling under French fire, but in just a few decades, they won two wars in a row, the Prussian-Danish War and the Austro-Prussian War!"

"Now they have aimed their aggressive troops at France, and they want to fight the Franco-Prussian War again? What do they rely on, not the abundant coal and iron resources in the country, and the strength accumulated by desperately developing industry?"

"Industrial strength is the backbone of a country! Now if you look at these factories in London's West End, do you still hate them? These factories are the steel backbone of an empire, without them we would be a second-rate country in Europe!"

"Yes, yes...... Prime Minister, don't get excited, okay? I admit you're right...... Someone, bring the accompanying Maza and ......unfold it for the Führer."

The nobles were accompanied by attendants, who brought wooden portable folding horses and unfolded them to sit down.

"Führer, I admit that Prussia has been a bit aggressive in recent years, and that the two wars have been fought beautifully...... But is it a little too early to say that they are a threat to our British Empire?"

"You know, Prussia doesn't even have a deep blue navy now, and just a few small wrecked ships defending the coast want to challenge the position of our British Empire? I don't believe it...... And the Prussian royal family has always been friendly with our British royal family, and they are relatives! It's not as serious as you say......"

"No?" Benjamin sighed, "Your Royal Highness, Prince! There is no friendship between countries, only the interests of Chiguoguo! Even if it is a relative, what can it be? Compared with the hegemony of the empire, even if it is a father and son, there will be problems!"

"I have a deep sense of apprehension that France is a little bit wrong...... It seems that Bismarck is coming for real, and I really don't have any evidence to test my judgment, but I just have this hunch......"

Edward really couldn't understand where the Führer's fears came from, and the British intelligence agencies had already made very detailed intelligence investigations and later deductions.

Almost all of them believe that there is a 45% chance that the Franco-Prussian War will actually be fought, and that it is more likely that the two sides will solve the problem through negotiations full of gunpowder.

Further in-depth analysis, these British elites felt that even if a war broke out, it was 75% likely to be a small-scale border conflict, with a short-term, high-intensity exchange of fire between the two sides, and then the outcome on the battlefield became a bargaining chip on the negotiating table.

If we continue to analyze, once a full-scale war breaks out between Prussia and France, it will be the kind of war that carries out a general mobilization of war at the national level, and both sides invest more than one million troops in the war war...... If this low probability does occur, Prussia has only a 30% chance of winning, while France has a 70% chance of winning.

These cunning British politicians hope that France and Prussia will have a draw, and that the two sides will wear down their national strength through the war, so that the gap between their strength and Britain will be even greater.

But today Benjamin made a completely different judgment, and these judgments the crown prince did not believe, but he still had to listen to the respect for the prime minister.

"Well, I believe that the Führer's concerns are justified, and I will think about it carefully...... But what can I do, you know my situation very well, for such a national matter, my mother will not let me interfere......"

"I know, I know your difficulties, Your Royal Highness...... And what I'm going to tell you today is not only the Prussian threat, but more importantly, Xiao Letian, the head of the East, you only need to use a little influence to deal with him!"

"Who? Xiao Letian...... Hahaha, you're really funny!" Crown Prince Edward laughed as he held his stomach, "I just wanted to say that you are afraid of Bismarck and Prussia, which is somewhat reliable, but you call a small warlord in the East a threat to the Empire......?"

Benjamin frowned, not feeling any dissatisfaction at the crown prince's laughter, but softly said the truth, which actually changed Edward's face drastically.

"My dear Prince, there are many issues that you have to look at together, if you look at Xiao Lotian alone, there is really no threat, but now we have to take Prussia into account, and sometimes it is very dangerous to be strong and two-handed!"
