Thank you for your tip, thank you very much for your support.

On the question of Peru and Bolivia, Count Kleist, reminded by a well-intentioned person, also began to follow the example of the behavior of the German banking union, and after snagging a group of wealthy nobles and land Junkers, he immediately raised a large amount of money for President Prado in the form of private loans and financing in the form of private loans and financing.

The money was quickly raised, but on the question of how to use it, there were divisions within the aristocratic Juncker Alliance, one group of people thought that it was enough to give the money directly to President Prado, as for President Prado's way to spend it, it was his business, but the other group did not think so, they felt that there was no supervision, and it was simply irresponsible to hand over such a huge amount of money to one person.

In the end, the opinion of the Grand Junkermeier from Saxony prevailed, and the money raised by the Germans should be supervised by the Germans, otherwise how to reflect the will of the aristocratic Junker Union.

As soon as a consensus was reached on the question of how to regulate money, an even greater trouble was found in the noble Junker League, and the German government issued an announcement announcing that the German official ban on the export of strategic materials to belligerents fell directly on the head of the alliance.

The idea of using the funds to purchase military supplies at home was stalled, and out of respect for the inertia of the authoritative government, some Junkers proposed the idea of disbanding the alliance and ending their support for Peru.

For this kind of rather market-oriented remarks, Count Kleist was anxious and angry, anxious that he wanted to take this opportunity to accumulate political capital and politically challenge Crown Prince Frederick's new economic policy, if this alliance broke up so easily, it would be a slap in the face in the political circles, and his political life had not yet begun, and he was afraid that he would be sentenced to death.

What is angry is that the short-sightedness of the Junkers who he has snared, who will hide at the slightest disturbance, have no consciousness to make a lot of money and take huge risks, and compared with the bourgeois supporters next to Crown Prince Frederick, they do not have the courage to take risks for 50% of the profits, and dare to be killed for the sake of 100% of the profits.

But prudence, or conservatism, is a common problem among farmers, landlords, or peasants all over the world who depend on the weather for their sustenance, and are inherently less adventurous than merchants, bankers, and business owners.

Just when Count Kleist was restless, Baron Meyer came up with an idea and suggested that Count Kleist follow the example of the Imperial Palace and organize a Prussian civilian volunteer army to voluntarily carry weapons to fight in Peru.

For Baron Meyer's suggestion, Count Kleist, who was still a little politically minded, couldn't help but scold, "They organized a volunteer army, that's because there are Prussian descendants in Chile, and what does Peru have?!" That's the descendants of the French. Let me organize the German Volunteer Army to fight in Peru, not to mention whether the Peruvians believe it or not, even if I dare to publish this idea, I will not be able to leave my castle and see the sun tomorrow! ”

Even the Earl of Kleist, who seemed to be disillusioned with the noble Junker League, finally brought the not-so-bad news that the Russians had asked the Germans to import industrial products, and Crown Prince Frederick did not seem to be very attentive to the demands of the Russians.

According to Baron Meyer's suggestion, if the Juncker alliance of the nobles of Count Kleist was willing to come forward to buy the products of the Russians first, and then go to Peru's aid, it would seem to be beneficial.

First of all, it can hit the political prestige of his political opponent Crown Prince Frederick, after all, the crown prince is now clearly inclined to the Chileans, and if Count Kleist can buy Russian products to help Peru, it will undoubtedly be a political banner against the crown prince in the country, and those who are dissatisfied with the NEP will surely gather under the banner of Count Kleist.

Secondly, the purchase of Russian industrial goods would inevitably gain the friendship of the Russians, which would allow the Junkers to take more care of them when renting the farmland of West Russia. Farmland is everything to the Junkers, and if Count Kleist can get more farmland benefits for the Junkers in Germany, then his political prestige will definitely be high, and he will have more confidence to fight against the crown prince.

Finally, the industrial and even military goods of the Russians were essential for Count Kleist to maintain the existing noble Juncker Alliance, which meant that the League could fulfill its promise to President Prado, and that when the Peruvian Bolivian Federated Army won the final victory, the League would have access to the coveted Chilean guano and saltpeter resources.

After listening to Baron Meyer's analysis, Count Kleist shook Baron Meyer's hands with emotion and said excitedly, "Dear Ernst, I have known you for so long, and it is the first time I have heard that you can analyze current politics with such clear ideas. It's not easy! ”

Baron Meyer, whose hands were clasped tightly, replied with a blushing face and some incoherentness, "Dear Ewald, actually... Actually, I was also ....., I just don't want me to invest in bankruptcy, you have to know that I have a large family.... I can only think of a way...."

"Yes, under the pressure, under the pressure of life, everyone will perform beyond the ordinary! Dear Ernst, you have done a very good job and your analysis is very good! After that, Count Kleist patted Baron Mayer on the shoulder vigorously, and said with some emotion, "Politics is really a training person, you look at it in the past few days, Ernst you have changed from a political rookie to a veteran guy, you can give me such good advice." ”

Looking at Baron Meyer, who praised himself and was still a little nervous, Earl Kleist felt that he should put some more pressure on him, so that Baron Meyer could grow up faster and become a good political helper in the true sense of his word.

Based on this idea, in the end, Baron Meyer became a secret liaison with the Russians in the noble Junker alliance under Count Kleist.

As it turned out, Count Kleist may not have good political ideas, but he did have a unique eye for people, and Baron Meyer not only suddenly opened up politically, but also seemed to be buried gold diplomatically, and now he finally shines.

After several rounds of contact with the Russians, the Russians, seeing that the alliance had a large amount of cash, readily agreed to the alliance's purchase intentions, and even in order to show their sincerity in cooperation with the alliance, they claimed that they would provide transportation services for the alliance's procurement and were willing to send Russian supplies to Peru.

Under the wise leadership of Count Kleist, under the operation of the suddenly enlightened Baron Meyer, and with the generous support of the Russians, the agreement between the noble Juncker Union and Peruvian President Prado finally began to be implemented, and now everything that happened in Peru is moving forward according to Count Kleist's expectations.

However, on the Russian issue, there have been some twists and turns in Joy's thinking, not that Joy's analysis of the diplomatic actions of the Russians has been wrong, in fact, Joy's analysis and judgment of the Russians have been fulfilled.

When General Shuvalov heard that the Germans were willing to act with him to cheat the French out of money, he was in favor of it with both hands and feet, and as a natural supporter of the monarchy, General Shuvalov was against it in his heart for a democratic country like France, which had no monarch and no father.

In the war on the Crimean peninsula, the young Shuvalov participated in the war for the first time, his best friend died at the hands of the French, and the seeds of hatred for the French were planted in the young Shuvalov's heart at that time.

With monarchical Germany, continuing to pit the game of free and loose French money, General Shuvalov was still extremely interested. If you do it well and cheat the money, you must be able to get the crazy support of the Russian people like Alexander II. If the operation is not good, you can't cheat the money, and you can fight with the Germans by yourself, at least you can get the support of the hard-line forces at home.

Both sides of the matter are beneficial to General Shuvalov.

As for the old prime minister, not the crown prince, who was in charge of the economy, to come forward to make a bridge for a certain German civil society organization to buy Russian industrial products on a large scale, General Shuvalov was also happy to see this happen.

In the final analysis, the German government procures Russian industrial products, and now the German people are directly purchasing them, which shows that there is a great market for Russian industrial products in Germany, and this is the positive result of General Shuvalov's visit to Germany! After returning to China, you must write a special book in the world of public opinion!

General Shuvalov also knows the final flow of these things, but what can it be, is it the same as the old and confused Prime Minister Bismarck, what kind of official embargo, war money is not made, and money is not made?

"I have always been in charge of the Third Department of the Moscow Police, everyone knows that I am the biggest police chief in Moscow, I don't need a good reputation, I just need people to be afraid of me, beg me, attach to me, I only need visible interests, I don't need any reputation for peace."

"The name of the official embargo for peace is nice, but what about the actual result? In the end, they still have to seek benefits for their supporters, and they can't do it openly, but they are bound by their own peaceful speeches, and they dare not purchase their own domestic products, so they have to ask for great Russia, and they won't make money if they have money! ”

"Prince Bismarck is old, and the older he gets, the more afraid of war becomes, and he dreams of peace all day long."

This is the evaluation of General Shuvalov to the old prime minister after selling Russian supplies to German civil organizations.

Encouraging the Russians to participate in the competition for overseas colonies with the world's third-most powerful navy, especially from the South Pacific War, Joey's predictions and judgments were also accurate.

As soon as General Shuvalov, who was well versed in foreign affairs, received an invitation from the old prime minister to invite Russia, which had nothing to do with the countries of the South Pacific War, to also attend the peace conference of the South American countries, General Shuvalov immediately understood that this was an opportunity, an opportunity to intervene in distant South America and create a Russian sphere of influence.

As an important supporter of the Russian Navy, Admiral Shuvalov understood that the St. Petersburg shipbuilding industry, with which it had deep interests, would receive a large number of orders for warships.

It was only a peace conference, and it did not allow Russia to participate substantively in the process of seizing South America, and an executable plan was needed, and when General Shuvalov was having a headache with this plan, the old prime minister once again sent a proposal to the United France, suggesting that Russia and the French Navy work together against the British Royal Navy.

General Shuvalov, who was originally still hindered by the friendship between Germany and Russia, was embarrassed to be open to the French, how could the old prime minister, who seemed to be so generous, not laugh at the old prime minister's kindness.

The main topic of this visit to Germany was the affairs of the Three Emperors Alliance, in which Russia wished to participate, and the old prime minister and General Shuvalov each took a step back on the Anglo-French question, and Germany and Russia maintained goodwill and neutrality between Germany and Russia in the event of a Russian-British conflict or a German-French conflict.

The Russians appreciated Germany's neutral position on the Balkan question, were willing to settle the conflict between Russia and Austria through negotiations, and promised Germany that Russia would not attack Austria-Hungary as long as Vienna did not declare war on Russia.

As for the question of the territory of Bulgaria with the Bosphorus and the Dardanelles right of passage, Germany agreed to the demands of the Russians.

After more than twenty days of bargaining, the Russians reaped a fruitful harvest in Berlin, and the main purpose of the trip to Germany, planned by Alexander II and General Shuvalov, was perfectly realized.

Not only was it perfectly realized, but in fact it could be overachieved, just to cheat the French out of money, gain a South American sphere of influence, and build a strong navy, these three achievements were enough to make Tsar Alexander II more favored by himself.

Joey guessed everything correctly, but he was wrong in underestimating the shamelessness and greed of General Shuvalov, the head of the secret police, and after achieving great political, diplomatic, and economic success, General Shuvalov made two new demands:

1. I hope that a German princess will marry to Russia, the personal opinion of General Shuvalov, this princess is better to be Princess Elisabeth from Hesse.

2. General Shuvalov believes that he has always been committed to Russian-German friendship work in Russia, and hopes that Germany will express it. To put it bluntly, it is to ask for bribes.
