The second more

"Because the war which Germany was waging at this time for the unification of the whole country met all the expectations of the people, and because Prussia was strong, and there was no external interference, your war was almost a hundred victories. In the event of a war between Prussia and France, or with Russia, does His Royal Highness Crown Prince Frederick think that Berlin will still be able to win a decent victory as in the previous war? Even if Germany occupied France, would the people have organized themselves against the invaders? Drag Berlin's army into the quagmire of war? ”

Although Prussia marched all the way in the early part of the Franco-Prussian War and captured Paris in the shortest possible time, but did not occupy it for a long time, and the whole of France, because the republican corps such as Gambida stopped their advance in the Orleans area, and launched an encirclement and counterattack in eastern France, preparing to cut off logistical supplies, Bismarck realized that the longer the delay became, the more dangerous it would be, and they were likely to repeat the mistakes of Napoleon I in France, so he coerced the Provisional Government to sign a traitorous treaty and hurriedly returned to Berlin.

Seeing that the crown prince still looked ignorant, Galil fortunately made his words clear,

"To take the simplest example, did Frederick III know why Napoleon I's expedition to Russia failed?"

During his time in England, Crown Prince Frederick had studied the question of Napoleon's expedition to Russia, and in response to Garion's question, he spoke eloquently: "After the French army captured Moscow, Napoleon understood that the situation was unfavorable, and proposed an armistice to Russia, but he did not receive a reply. By this time, the cold winter had arrived, the front line was snowing, the French army was too deep, and the supply lines were too long. Napoleon finally ordered a retreat on 19 October, and in search of food and shelter for the south, he retreated west from the south. After the French began to retreat, the main forces of the Russian army were ready to move, closely following the rear of the French army. Then the subsequent battles of Tarutino and the Battle of Lesser Yaroslavets were the beginning of the counteroffensive of the main forces of the Russian army. The French army suffered 6,000 casualties and 26,000 prisoners in three days of fighting, losing almost all of its artillery. At the end of November, when the French army crossed the Berezina River, it was shelled by the Russian army, suffering heavy casualties. On November 29, after the rear guard crossed the bridge, they immediately burned the bridge, and only then did they escape from the pursuit of the Russian army. The French troops besieged on the banks of the Berezina River were not completely wiped out, but suffered heavy casualties while crossing the river. Napoleon was forced to flee Russia with the remnants of 10,000 men. But having said all this, does it have anything to do with the questions raised by the family before? I didn't see it at all. ”

"France, as an old European empire, did not conquer all of Europe even at its peak, did Crown Prince Frederick believe that Germany would be able to conquer all of Europe? If war was declared on all of Europe, did Wilhelm I and Chancellor Bismarck have the guts to do so? ”

Garry knew very well that Prime Minister Bismarck absolutely did not have the guts, otherwise he would not have fallen out with the later Wilhelm II. Wilhelm II was the true ignorant and fearless, who did not care whether the whole of Europe lived or died.

"We just want to have a chance to grow......"

Gallian continued to instill his "private goods" to Crown Prince Frederick: "When you want to gain space for development, it will inevitably affect the interests of other countries, and once there is an entanglement of interests, war is the last resort and the most direct means." However, in times of war, can Crown Prince Frederick guarantee that your opposition parties at home will not be on the move? ”

During the First World War, Russia used the flesh and blood of countless soldiers to resist the attacks of the German army, and Russian Poland, the three Baltic states, Western Belarus and Western Ukraine were all lost. Later, the economy of Tsarist Russia was completely dragged down, but Russia successfully dragged down a considerable part of the military strength of the German Empire on the Eastern Front, and the direct result was that the Schlieffen plan had flaws and loopholes, and reparations were paid to Germany. Peace treaties were signed with Austria-Hungary, Turkey and Bulgaria, and Russia withdrew from World War I. Since then, the battlefield on the Eastern Front has disappeared. The Russian government concentrated all its efforts on turning inward and began a civil war. And Germany also freed up its hands and concentrated its forces to storm on the western front. When Britain and France were about to become overwhelmed, the United States rushed to the war and once again stabilized the Western Front. The stalemate continued until a mutiny and revolution broke out in Germany, the Kaiser went into exile, and the Reich government was replaced by a Provisional Government, dominated by Social Democrats, who sued for peace with the Entente. Finally, the armistice was interrupted, and German troops were withdrawn from Belgium and France to Germany. Finally, the Treaty of Versailles was signed, and the First World War ended。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。

In terms of the underlying cause, Germany overestimated the strength of itself and its pig teammates, and finally failed miserably.

Crown Prince Frederick nodded thoughtfully, he was an enlightened man who grew up in England and turned a blind eye to Bismarck's iron-blooded foreign policy, and when it came to domestic policy, he began to compete with the prime minister.

Crown Prince Frederick also supported Garion's view that after the unification of Germany in World War I, the best way to do this was to start concentrating on economic development, rather than invading others. As long as France does not take the lead, Germany will not have the opportunity to take the initiative to attack France under the banner of revenge. It was a foolish act to die, after all, half a century ago, they were pressed to the ground by the First French Empire, and they almost couldn't get up.

The two ended, and the last chat with implicit meaning.

"Lord Garion, come with me."

With a wave of his hand, Crown Prince Frederick removed all the attendants who had followed him, leaving him and the two members of his family standing in front of the empty corridor.

"What's wrong? Crown Prince Frederick. ”

Garion had no hope that he would be able to leave Sanssouci anytime soon. His only hope was that after a few months, King William the Elder would begin to like the new and the old, and send himself straight back to Paris.

"Hasn't Lord Garion been thinking about getting out of here? Now's your chance. I don't want you to stay in Sanssouci all the time, so I got a carriage for you and got a pass. ”

Garion's eyes widened, he had no idea that Crown Prince Frederick would be so generous in rescuing him.

Garian was about to thank Crown Prince Frederick when he waved his hand and said, "I am the one who should thank you, and this is in return for your suggestion today, Lord Galian." Thank you. ”
