The second more,,

"Is Lord Garion really not afraid of death? To tell the truth, I have seen a lot of iron-clad revolutionary parties, but I have never seen iron-clad literati. The Constitutional Movement that broke out in Berlin was a great deal of trouble, but what was the result? After being arrested by the police, they cried and begged to shout that they were wrong, begging the government to let them go, and they did not have the awe-inspiring appearance of justice before. ”

Recalling the faces of public intellectuals, all that remained in Bismarck's mind was a sneer.

At that time, the resistance of the feudal dynasties of the German states to the imperial constitution aroused great anger among the people. The bourgeois democrats set off a movement to protect the constitution everywhere, and the literati preached in the newspapers the struggle for a unified republic.

As a result of the movement, the people of Dresden, the capital of Saxony, drove out the king, and an uprising broke out in Ibinfelt in the Rhine district, and a Security Council was formed. A huge uprising also broke out in the Baden region, and with the full support of the army, a provisional government was formed headed by Brentano, a petty-bourgeois democrat and a left-wing member of the Frankfurt parliament. The uprising of the people of the Palatinate, which borders Baden, was also flourishing, echoing the Baden uprising and becoming a powerful center in the entire struggle to protect the constitution.

The revolutionaries suggested that the Frankfurt parliament and the Provisional Government in the revolted areas openly call for an armed uprising and mobilize and organize the people to defend the revolutionary regime. It was proposed that the insurrectionary armies and people's armed forces in Baden and the Palatinate should be relied upon to fight the armed offensive of the counter-revolution, that the uprising should be extended throughout the country, that all feudal obligations should be abolished immediately in the areas of the uprising, and that the broad masses of the peasants should be mobilized to jointly defend the gains of the revolution.

But all these suggestions were not adopted. The petty-bourgeois democrats who led the movement were afraid of the surging mass revolution and tried to restrain the people so that the movement did not go beyond the limits of "legality".

The weakness of the bourgeoisie, the result is obvious.

Then the counterattack of Prussia and Wilhelm IV stifled the revolutionary fervor of the German people in the cradle, along with the last bit of hope in the heart of the young Bismarck.

Having finally seen through the bourgeois careerists and the ugly and dirty methods of the literati to incite and deceive the people, Bismarck chose a diametrically opposite path. He vowed to create a unified German nation-state.

A top-down change.

With the iron and blood of Prussia, conquer the entire German Confederation!

He said, "What justice for the people, long live the republican system, is nothing more than a group of ambitious and incompetent conspirators who instigate the people to rebel and then seize the fruits of the victory of the revolution." Once successful, they will show even more filthy faces, exploiting the people even more than the old aristocracy. ”

Then Bismarck stood up, and he pulled out the pistol he had been preparing for a long time and held it against Garion's head.

"You remind me of the summer of 1849, when the air in Berlin was filled with the smell of blood. On the streets, I saw with my own eyes the young men who had been inspired by the newspaper writers to fight for Germany, one by one, fell in pools of blood. The dark face hidden behind it was unscathed. When the situation changed, he became the royal literati of the imperial family, accusing and denouncing the revolutionary party as a group of despicable people. ”

"It seems to me that Lord Garion is no different from these people. You are all a bunch of villains who have troubled the country, a bunch of unscrupulous conspirators who have never put the country and the people in their sights. ”

"Your Excellency Bismarck, this is not the same as what was said before......"

The middle-aged man beside him tried to step forward to stop him, but was stopped by his next move.

Bismarck pulled the trigger, looked at the breezy Garian in front of him with a hideous expression, and asked, "Before I pull the trigger, you can kneel and beg for mercy, and I will be willing to let you go." Anyway, you have already figured out Germany's foreign policy, and it is a big deal that we will abandon everything we had before, readjust our strategy, and make major changes. Prussia only suffered setbacks and did not lose yet. ”

"No, Chancellor Bismarck, you won't do this, how many years have you waited for this opportunity to wait, how can you sacrifice the interests of the entire empire because I am alone."

Galian suddenly reached out and grasped the barrel of the gun, pressing it tightly to his forehead, and he said word by word, "Let me tell Your Excellency Bismarck how different I am from the fools you have seen before." “

"I wrote '1984', I wrote revolutionary poems in the Central Prison, I shouted for freedom, I fought for democracy, I wrote 'The Internationale' for the proletariat of France and the whole world, I drafted the Communist Manifesto, and I inspired people all over the world to break the shackles of the old era. All you have done is for the sake of building a united and strong Germany, but all I have done is for the people of the whole world who have suffered so much. ”

"His Excellency Bismarck may not have noticed it yet, but soon you will see a red spectre on the territory of the North German Confederation, whose bullet could pierce the heart of the revolutionary, but not the soul of the working class."

Garian's speech was deafening.

"They are not weak petty bourgeoisie, they are invincible communists. Break the unlock and lose the anklet, but what you get is the whole world. “

"Come on, shoot."

Garion stood up suddenly, looked directly at the majestic old man, and said through gritted teeth, "The moment you shoot, it shows that you are afraid, it is a shame for Europe that the prime minister of an empire surrenders to a powerless writer." For a writer, it is a great honor to be able to force the Prime Minister of the Empire to make concessions. ”

The two stared at each other inch by inch, Bismarck did not dare to pull the trigger, and Garion refused to let go.

However, the people around him looked at the two nervously, not knowing whether they should step forward to dissuade them. This scene is different from the script they designed, Bismarck's impromptu play makes his heart tighten, and he is ready to call the guards to rescue Garion.

After a quarter of an hour of confrontation, Bismarck's expression was relieved, and he was the first to let go of his pistol, withdrew his right hand, and said calmly, "You have won, Your Excellency Garion." ”

He sat down in his place, recalling his previous meeting with Napoleon III at the Tuileries. The other party didn't even bother to talk nonsense with himself, and bluntly expressed France's ambition to be south of the Rhine.

"You are as tough as Napoleon III, so tough that you are unreasonable."

When the stone hanging high in Gary's peace of mind finally fell, he also sneered, "Chancellor Bismarck is indeed the same as rumored, and when he encounters a problem, he wants to solve it with iron and blood." ”
