The first meeting of the Prime Ministers of the East and the West was in the private garden of the King of Prussia, and the fragrance in the garden at the intersection of spring and summer was full of purple and red as far as the eye could see, but the two big men did not have the slightest mood to enjoy the beautiful scenery, and the two were staring at each other intently, as if they were competing in momentum.

The bearded Bismarck is now in his fifties, and he naturally has an advantage in this contest of momentum, and his half-century of political experience has given him the majesty and domineering of a superior person. In the current Kingdom of Prussia, Bismarck is simply a regent, and he has monopolized military and political power.

Historically, Bismarck has threatened the king with resignation more than once, and he also has a rule that civil officials must be accompanied by him if they want to see the king, and Wilhelm I really has a hard time facing this powerful prime minister.

However, Bismarck was domineering, but he was a rare genius in governing the country, and it was during his reign that Prussia's industrial process was greatly accelerated, military reform was also accelerated, and diplomacy was very good, and the enemy in the three battles for hegemony was all led by his nose.

It was his outstanding talent that made the Prussian royal family put up with him again and again, and it was not until Wilhelm I's grandson ascended the throne that he forcibly retired, and Bismarck was already 75 years old at that time.

This is a politician who is big in power, his eyes are like eagle eyes, his eyes seem to have hooks, he always wants to open Xiao Letian's heart, and then check the secrets inside page by page. Under this invisible pressure, Xiao Lotian obviously felt that his back was wet, which was a cold sweat that broke out from nervousness.

However, no matter how much pressure Bismarck put on him, Xiao Lotian gritted his back molars and pushed them up, and even had a shallow smile on the corner of his mouth, as if he was not facing a side-leaking overlord qi, but just a spring breeze in the garden.

Xiao Letian secretly complained in his heart, "Damn, I didn't encounter such a lot of pressure when I met Zeng Guofan last time, I thought that Zeng Dashuai had cultivated the spirit of the king to the top, but I didn't expect that today compared with Bismarck, it was a trivial matter, and it really lived up to the name of iron and blood." ”

"Don't look at it, I can't stand it anymore, if the two wars leak out, the negotiations will be passive...... Look at it, old guy, you still don't look finished, Lao Tzu is not interested in your daughter, you don't put on a stinky face of an old man......"

Of course, Bismarck didn't know that Xiao Lotian was slandering him, and the shock in his heart was not much less than that of Xiao Lotian. This is really a surprising young man, as if he has just reached 30 this year? Well, the intelligence says that it is incredible that such a young man has become a rising star in East Asia.

"I have been in politics for so many years, and there are very few people who can withstand my powerful psychological offensive, and even the crown prince Karl is difficult to be tough in front of me, how can this Chinese still laugh? My interest in the ancient civilization in the East is getting bigger and bigger......

Bismarck raised his evaluation of Xiao Letian in his heart, but he didn't know that Xiao Letian's heart was already trembling, if it weren't for the identity of the traverser to provide Xiao Letian with a powerful psychological hint, it is estimated that he would have sweated like pulp.

The silent exchange lasted only three minutes, but Xiao Letian felt as if he had spent three centuries long, and he didn't breathe a sigh of relief until Bismarck spoke.

"You are a young man who impresses me, although my intelligence officer told me your age a long time ago, but before we met, I always imagined you as a wise middle-aged man, and today it seems that I was wrong......"

Listening to Bismarck's friendly tone, Xiao Letian's smile became even brighter, "In front of the iron-blooded prime minister of the Kingdom of Prussia, in front of the chief architect of the revival of the German nation, the younger generations will never dare to consider themselves wise, all your experience since you entered politics is a textbook for us, and the mountains look up......"

Shoot, that's a pat on the back... The unpaid sycophants are not exaggerated anyway in terms of their historical exploits to Germany.

Bismarck pinched his beard and walked in the garden with Xiao Letian, and from time to time he also catered to Xiao Letian's gentle slap, which seemed to be very comfortable for him.

Just after the meeting between the guest and the host entered a very friendly atmosphere, Bismarck suddenly said with a smile in his eyes: "The intelligence shows that Mr. Xiao is a Chinese-American? and a Protestant? Very good, your beliefs are the same as mine, I am very pleased...... I wonder if Mr. Xiao has any plans to marry a European princess?"

cough cough cough ...... Xiao Lotian was organizing language at this time and wanted to speak, but Bismarck's words frightened him, and half of his mouth choked on his throat.

Good guy, this old man's thinking is too jumpy, he just accepted my flattery for three minutes, and then he was about to protect the media? Give me a European princess? This is a god turn...

Before Xiao Lotian could make a statement, Bismarck seemed to make the shock more violent, and what he said later did not scare him to death.

"Prince Karl, you are married to the eldest princess of Queen Victoria, how about I introduce you to a princess from the British royal family......? When the time comes, let the British support you, and simply depose the king of the Ryukyus......"

Bismarck pinched his beard, and he didn't mean to stop at all, "You still have a high reputation in the Qing Dynasty, and it is not impossible to cut out a few provinces from the Manchurians and become independent...... Hahaha, how about it, think about it, the Americans have a good relationship with you, Prussia will support you, Queen Victoria sees that you have so much potential, I think she will also consider it......"

Devil, this is the devil who stirs people's hearts, Xiao Letian couldn't control himself anymore, and his legs trembled slightly. Don't say it, with the full support of the European powers, it is really not impossible to claim the throne yourself.

Justice and justice are only within the range of artillery, when the time comes, first capture Taiwan and Qiongzhou, after a few years of development, accumulate troops to occupy the Shandong Peninsula and the Liaodong Peninsula, and the front of the army is directed at the city of Beijing, after a few battles, it will definitely be able to cripple the main force of the Qing army.

Then the ironclad fleet rushed inland along the Yangtze River, rushing all the way to fight all the way, don't think how powerful the Hunan army is, the army without naval cover in this era is the lame army, and it is their fate to be beaten.

Xiao Letian was swinging all over, his head was covered with cold sweat, and all the composure just now was thrown to Java.

Wait? What am I thinking? Why did Bismarck stir up my affection in a few words? Why did I follow his baton and start thinking? How could I believe his demagogy? Obediently, can this guy hypnotize Dafa?

After a short period of confusion, Xiao Letian's heart suddenly rang with an alarm bell, and he guessed Bismarck's true purpose with a single spirit, this old thing is testing me, this is too yin.

At this time, Bismarck suddenly burst out laughing, "Hahaha, Mr. Xiao, it's not summer yet, why are your foreheads sweaty?"

Ay...... Xiao Letian sighed in his heart, he was still a little tender, and in the end he still let Bismarck play a knife, he thought that the momentum battle at the beginning was over, in fact, Bismarck just played a delaying strategy, it felt like a truce, but when you are careless, turning your head is a return to the carbine.

Bismarck finally saw Xiao Letian's behaving at a loss, and the old politician in his fifties smiled back and forth like a child, which made Xiao Lotian embarrassed.

Xiao Lotian has no other way than to smile bitterly now, he can be regarded as seeing a completely different Bismarck in history today, not so iron-blooded, only endless childlike innocence.

This is an old child, the rise of the Kingdom of Prussia is actually in the hands of an old child, which can be regarded as a big secret in modern history.

"Okay, Prime Minister, you have succeeded in misbehaving me in a bad manner, and your mention has really scared me, and now I really need a few glasses of wine to suppress the shock......" Xiao Lotian said with a smile.

"No, no, no, since you have come to Germany, you should taste the most delicious beer, and German beer is the most delicious in Europe...... Hahaha, two glasses of wine can definitely resolve the embarrassment you just had..."

One old and one young, from now on, the door of the heart has been completely opened, and the negotiation has finally reached the stage where you can put your heart in your heart.

The two prime ministers opened their hearts and drank a delicious German beer, a wooden barrel with a large glass large enough to hold a liter of beer, and some appetizers such as beef strips and dried fruits were placed on the stone table in the garden.

"Ah...... Beer is still fresh, unlike wine or whiskey, which needs to be aged for decades before drinking. I have never liked traditional things, and in this era of great change, the key to national rejuvenation is to strive for change......

Listening to Bismarck's remarks, Xiao Letian no longer hid his secrets, he raised his head and drained half a glass of wine, and gave a big burp "uh...... You are so right, the only constant in this world is change, Britain successfully captured the essence of the first industrial revolution, so he had the strength to form the Royal Navy, he was able to defeat the Spanish Armada......"

"It is the same with Prussian Germany now, if it is only a conformist, there can be no hope for this nation...... Fortunately, I saw that Germany, under your command, was already in the fast lane......"

"Germany's telegraph network is already the most complete in Europe, the developed railway transportation network even surpasses that of France, as well as the German military industry, and I have even seen many revolutionary inventions, such as the Mauser rifle, which is destined to become the master of the battlefield with a rear-loading needle-pierced rifled gun......

"How fortunate the German nation is to be able to make such a great change, I firmly believe that Austria will never be the opponent of Prussian Germany, and even France will be your defeated sooner or later......"

This time, Xiao Letian is not a sycophant, what he said is an ironclad fact, and it is a major event that really happened in history.

Bismarck looked at Xiao Lotian quietly, and suddenly smiled slightly, "Child, do you want to hear some of my views on the rise of the nation? Maybe these will be of great help to you..."
