253 The majesty of the iron-blooded prime minister
People get along with each other, you don't believe that aura is not good, three hundred warriors from the east faced the encirclement of thousands of Praetorian Guards, smiling coldly at the muzzles of those black holes, none of them were timid, and even the momentum was not weak at all. Watermark Ad Test: Watermark Ad Test
But it's also strange to say that when they faced Bismarck, everyone had a feeling in their hearts when they faced Xiao Letian, which could not be said to be fearful, but definitely very awe.
To paraphrase Zeng Guofan's analysis, this iron-blooded prime minister should be regarded as the hidden dragon of the German nation, this kind of person is not angry and self-assured, and naturally has a heart-wrenching aura, he is essentially the same kind of character as Xiao Letian, and even surpasses it.
After all, Bismarck has already started the German chariot and is now charging at high speed, and Xiao Letian is now playing with the handle, and it seems that the broken tractor of the Manchu Qing Dynasty is difficult to start.
The iron-blooded Prime Minister reasoned with these lads in a calm, emotionless tone.
"What are you afraid of? Are you afraid that the Germans will hack your money? Or do you not believe in my character? But who can you believe if you don't believe me?"
"I tell you very frankly that your attempt to kidnap the prince and leave Europe is completely unrealizable, and now the Atlantic Ocean is completely under the control of the British and French navies, and as soon as the merchant ships leave the North Sea, you will immediately be targeted by the British or French......
"Don't think that there are no spies here in Hamburg, such a big news will spread all over Europe in less than a week, and then the Atlantic generals will be full of warships, and all lookouts will search for you with wide eyes, and the huge sum of one million taels of silver will not be disliked by that country, and then you will know what it means to be black and black......
"What is the end of your insistence? the loss of wealth, the loss of life, and finally the terrible enemy of the Prussian nation, all the hopes of your prime minister will be in vain, and not only will the whole Prussian nation get a frenzied revenge......"
"Sue me, is this what you want? If so, then take His Royal Highness the Prince away and let him die with you on the ocean!"
Bismarck was really an excellent politician with insight into people's hearts, and he had already felt the momentum of these Eastern warriors as if they were dead as if they were at home from the moment he entered the house, and he knew that the method of intimidation would have absolutely no effect.
Others may not be able to guess, but Bismarck can guess with a roll of his eyes, they are not afraid of fighting, they are not afraid of sacrifice, they laugh at life and death, and even dare to hold the prince hostage.
To exaggerate a little, such soldiers can already be called heroic companies, will they have a weakness? Of course there will be, and the founder who has personally shaped them into a strong iron backbone is their weakness.
The Iron Army did not fall out of thin air, it needed to be brought out by the heroes, it needed to be personally pointed out by the tide of the times, and the core figure who united the hearts of the people was the weakness in the hearts of these young men.
They can not be afraid of life and death, but they are afraid of death and will not be able to complete the task, and they are even more afraid that their misjudgment will bring unnecessary danger to their leaders, this kind of psychology is the weakness, as long as they grasp this breakthrough, there is no negotiation that cannot be reached.
Sure enough, Bismarck's analysis struck like a hammer in the hearts of all the new troops, and the lads were at once confused. Xiao Hexin and the others got together and whispered nervously, and it took a long time before they spoke.
"What you say may be true, but how can you guarantee your trust? Who can vouch for you......"
Jonas was halfway through his translation when he heard Bismarck's angry shout, "......Guarantee!
"The title of iron-blooded Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Prussia is my guarantee; The title of chief architect of the German National Rejuvenation Project is my guarantee! The love of 10 million Germans for me is my guarantee! What more guarantee do you want?"
"Just by virtue of your Prime Minister Xiao Letian, the fact that he did not give the king a secret letter but gave me a secret letter is the greatest guarantee! Xiao Lotian believes me, but you are questioning me!" Bismarck's anger made the Prussian soldiers present shudder, and the iron-blooded prime minister really lived up to his name.
Bismarck took three deep breaths, and suddenly said, "Three hundred soldiers of the New Eastern Army, all obey my orders...... Stand upright!"
Almost subconsciously, the three hundred soldiers collectively put their heels together, and the sound of leather boots clashing was neat and loud.
"Release the Prince, from today onwards, you will be directly under the command of the General Staff Headquarters, and I and the Chief of General Staff Mao Qi will be in charge...... In my capacity as Prime Minister of the Kingdom, I forgive you for your sins of disrespecting the Prince today!"
Speaking of this, Bismarck whispered to Xiao Hexin, "Up to now, you have no choice but to believe me......
Having said that, there was no longer a stalemate, and at Bismarck's orders, the rifles of the Praetorian Guard were lowered, and Prince Karl was finally free.
When the prince walked behind the prime minister, and before Bismarck could comfort him, the angry crown prince shouted "Fire, all fire, kill these barbarians of the East...... and some of the soldiers subconsciously raised their guns.
At this time, Bismarck was completely furious: "Shut up! If you meddle in the foreign affairs of the empire again, I will personally write to your majesty to imprison you, and I will deprive you of the command of the army, you don't challenge my patience!"
Under Bismarck's strict orders, the raised rifles were lowered again, and Karl's face turned white, but he could not do anything in the face of a powerful prime minister.
The feudal kingdoms of Europe are different from those of China, there is no such thing as the first power of the emperor, and the king is sometimes just a symbol, and the powerful ministers can completely override the royal power.
In real history, when the Austro-Prussian War ended, Bismarck was ready to conclude a treaty with Austria, but the king and the crown prince wanted to expand the results and attack Vienna. As a result, Bismarck threatened to resign, and the king had no choice but to agree to the Prime Minister's strategic plan.
The power of the iron-blooded prime minister has been undoubtedly reflected from this incident.
Prince Karl gritted his teeth and shook his head at these Chinese, "You will not get your wish, I will do everything I can to break your agreement, I will always stick to my previous opinion, the German nation can never be allied with sheep, and it will always be ......" After speaking, he turned his head and left.
With the departure of His Royal Highness, the Prussian troops surrounding the barracks scattered in circles like peeling onions, and at last even the three thousand Janissaries who were watching were withdrawn.
After the crisis was resolved, Bismarck began to arrange for his direct guards to take over the silver coins, and at this time the new army did not continue to insist, they knew that the money would definitely not be able to be brought back to China, and it was better to hand it over to the prime minister than to let the dangerous elements worry.
"I will hire the most astute Jewish businessmen to manage this money, and I will set up a foundation, which is also the construction of your Prime Minister's secret letter, such a huge wealth, the interest alone is enough for your life in Europe, including the steady stream of Chinese students in the future, can also use the interest in this huge amount of money......"
"All right, boys, change into civilian clothes and rest in the rear, and I wish you a good life in Germany!" said the prime minister, who turned and wanted to leave.
These 300 new troops can be regarded as a frying pan "What do you mean? Let us stay in the rear? We came to Germany to participate in the war, we want to establish prestige for the Chinese, what is the matter with hiding in the rear?"
The brothers immediately surrounded the prime minister and surrounded him. The Prime Minister's immediate guard saw that this was worth it, and hurriedly rushed in to rescue Bismarck, and although the two groups of people did not move their fists, they also pushed away the bull.
"We want to go to war, we want to go to the front line to learn, what we need is actual combat ......"
"Stand back, all of you stand back, don't attack the Prime Minister......"
"Don't push, everyone is calm, it's up to the prime minister to decide, isn't there an old saying in Chinese that guests do whatever they want......
"Bullshit, what you said is better than what you sang, we sent a million taels of silver, and we didn't let us go to the battlefield, are you a bully for us?"
The mixture of Chinese and German mixed together and stirred up the chaos of the barracks, and the Prussian soldiers who had not gone far in the distance subconsciously wanted to run over, but were stopped by the direct guards.
Bismarck didn't have the slightest anger, but he became excited, these Chinese young men actually had such a strong participation in the war**, which shows that the blood of that ancient empire has not been extinguished, if such a brave man Xiao Letian has 100,000 in his hands, maybe he can really change the fate of that ancient empire.
"Children, guests from afar, please listen to me......" Bismarck raised his hand to suppress the noise of the present, "war is not child's play, modern warfare is a science, a little bravery is not enough, you still have a lot to learn." If nothing else, you're struggling to communicate normally right now, do you want to go to war with an interpreter?"
"All you have to do now is to study patiently, I will let Jonas be the general coordinator by your side, and he will select the best instructors to train you, whether you can go to the battlefield or not depends on your results......
"But one thing I can guarantee is that when the big war really starts, even if you can't directly participate in the war, I will allow you to go to the front line to observe, I promise!"
The day's conflict has now completely disappeared, although the new army is reluctant, but they can't refute the prime minister's reasoning, fortunately Bismarck did not close the door, and left them a glimmer of hope, just for this glimmer of hope, they also have to fight.
When Bismarck left, Jonas and the lieutenants of the Guard began to coordinate the life and study of the new troops. Dozens of tailors began to tailor their civilian clothes, and they couldn't let these Chinese always wear beautiful ** clothes to move back and forth, especially the civilian clothes of several officers, which were very exquisite.
The logistics quartermaster sent tens of thousands of thaler silver coins, which were the pocket money of the new army in Germany, and the prime minister ordered these Chinese to withdraw less than 10,000 thalers at any time, and no one could stop them.
This will be followed by the new Prussian individual equipment, and from tomorrow the Hamburg boot camp will close a hundred acres of forest to the north as a special training ground for the Chinese.
As soon as Qiē began to develop in a good direction, the atmosphere of preparing for war has become more and more intense.
"Xiao, I'll pick you up tomorrow, the matter you asked me to do is already clear, I'll take you to meet that person in person!"
