The first update

Cards?

Bismarck's political strategy is all engraved in black and white on the "History of the Second French Empire", Napoleon III hoped that Prussia and Austria would contradict each other, that their forces would cancel each other, that a third Germany would be established south of the Main, that France would obtain the left bank of the Rhine, and that Germany would remain divided for a hundred years.

Bismarck's careful thinking was to use the left bank of the Rhine as a bait to deceive Napoleon III's trust and support, and strongly advocated an alliance with France to prevent France from supporting Denmark on the side of Britain. To meet the demands of France with generosity. Napoleon III finally understood what Galian had warned him that Bismarck's so-called guarantees were nothing more than a dead letter, and he never really wanted to fulfill his promises.

"Isn't the foreign policy of His Excellency Bismarck just a fool? As long as France is fooled and cannot find the north, your diplomacy will be considered a victory. ”

Garion bluntly pierced the little bit of caution in his heart, and said bluntly, "Take interests that do not belong to you to fool the Tuileries Palace to support yourself, take the initiative to show weakness to France, and let Paris relax its vigilance, if I am not mistaken, Your Excellency Bismarck is next going to provoke a war between Prussia and Austria, and you know far better about Vienna than Napoleon III, so it is almost a battle of nine out of ten." After removing the greatest obstacle to Prussia's unification, your next goal is to declare war on France, not now, of course, because after five or six years of recuperation and sufficient strength, no one can stop the birth of an empire. After all, your conscription system of compulsory military service allows Germany to get enough troops in a short period of time, and then rely on the huge Imperial Corps to defeat the elite troops of France in one fell swoop, doesn't it? “

Bismarck, who had a calm face, gradually became gloomy, and involuntarily changed to another gloomy face, he had always thought that Garion had just guessed a scale and a half-claw, but now it seems that the other party did not just guess, but more likely to fully understand the whole layout.

Could it be that this person really relied on a few newspapers to find out the precise deployment of Germany?

He couldn't help but clench his fists, and Bismarck looked at Garion at this time, and other thoughts gradually appeared in his heart.

However, Garion, who was sitting next to him, seemed to see through his thoughts and made a pause gesture.

"Don't think too much about it yet, listen to me, Your Excellency Bismarck. Actually, I'm not afraid to die here, in fact, I've thought about this situation for a long time. So I left a letter somebody, and if I didn't appear in the public eye for more than four months, it meant that something bad had happened. And the most likely to do it is Prussia. Because they were afraid of my words and exposed the machinations of the Germans. Your Excellency Bismarck, if Paris will cooperate with you in the future, I will lose. ”

Garion had lied, in fact he did not have any correspondence in his hands, and he said this only to bet that Bismarck would not dare to tear his face.

However, Bismarck was still swayed by his words, and from 1860 to the present, he worked hard for nearly four years, but he never thought of being messed up by an irrelevant outsider.

All that had to be done was to stabilize the young man in front of him, Bismarck did not know how many other secrets of Berlin he knew, but he did not dare to risk the future of the German nation.

"Hahaha, Your Excellency Garion is too worried, in fact, I just want to invite you to Berlin for a while, and I don't have any extra thoughts. As for the grievances between France and Germany, it does not involve you and me. Today is just a casual chat. ”

He snorted and tried to change the subject, but Garion didn't eat it at all.

"Let's talk about it, you didn't say that when I came, and you said you were very interested in my foreign policy views."

"Has Your Excellency Bismarck forgotten someone?"

"Huh?"

Bismarck did not know what Garrian was expressing.

"Armand Jean Diplessis de Richelieu, Prime Minister of King Louis XIII of France, and Cardinal of the Catholic Church, the first Duke of Richelieu of the Bourbon dynasty. Of course, I think Bismarck did not forget about the Thirty Years' War either. ”

The end of the Thirty Years' War ended with the defeat of the Habsburgs and the victories of France and Sweden.

The Peace of Westphalia was signed in 1648, which strengthened the power of the German princes and further weakened the position of the Habsburg emperors. Without the consent of the princes, the emperor had no right to declare war, make peace, levy taxes, or levy troops.

Germany was torn apart and crumbling.

In addition, through the Thirty Years' War and the diplomatic mediation of Richelieu, France was able to gain Alsace and Lorraine on the Rhine, as well as the Spanish region of Roussilon. In addition to West Pomerania, Bremen and other territories, Sweden also received large reparations. From then on, the hegemony of the Habsburg family in Western Europe declined, and the hegemony of France rose in its place.

The corners of Bismarck's eyes twitched, and the middle-aged man standing next to Garion looked even more frightened, trying to stop him from continuing.

"Lord Garion, don't say anything."

Garion made a gesture to stop talking.

In Val Ching Manor, the three of them fell silent unexpectedly. Bismarck glared at Garrian with a helpless sense of loss.

The Thirty Years' War was a knot of hatred in Bismarck's heart, and he spent his life devoting his life to completing a revenge on the French and retaking Alsace and Lorraine, and now Garion directly exposed Bismarck's scars, and sprinkled a handful of salt on them.

If it weren't for the fear of the handle in his hand, Bismarck really wanted to break his promise at this moment, take out his revolver and give the French a shot to end everything.

"The Duke of Richelieu is arguably the most hated Frenchman of the German nation."

"And then?"

Bismarck couldn't help but clench the crutches in his hand, and he took a few deep breaths to try to calm himself down.

"There will be a next Duke of Richelieu in Paris, the French will continue to keep the German Confederation divided, and His Excellency Bismarck wants to complete the unification through top-down warfare, so that Germany wants to become the first European empire?"

Garion pursed his lips in disdain and said, "Do your German dreams." ”
