At this time, although Bismarck was making a strategic isolation plan around Russia, but in fact his status was not high, he even had to be taken by the foreign minister to see the king, and his appointment in China was only to carry out the implementation of a plan in one direction, in fact, the king did not focus on the Chinese direction.

Of course, the king also hoped to unify Germany, but not to establish the equality of various states, but to complete it through Prussia's annexation of all German regions.

So the king wants the territory of Poland, the biggest difficulty is not to defeat Russia, but how to avoid the intervention of Britain and France, especially France, France has always hoped to expand the territory to the Rhineland, thinking that the Rhine Britain as a natural border between France and Germany, since the time of Louis XIV has had this concept, once Prussia and Russia go to war, whether it can win or not, France has the possibility of sending troops to the Rhineland.

As a result, Bismarck stayed in China for a year, and came up with such an unbeatable railway traffic agreement, and the two sides enjoyed the right of free transit in rail transport. This made the king unable to understand what Bismarck was thinking, didn't he go to China to establish an offensive and defensive alliance, so that China would not have to participate in the war, and at the same time be able to use troops on the border to contain Russia?

"Your Majesty, once a war breaks out, it is very likely that China will remain neutral, especially in the early stage, when the situation is unclear, it is impossible for China to join the war in the first place. Moreover, China's entry into the war did not have a clear purpose, and the establishment of such a railway agreement would allow us to even ask China to put pressure on Russia in the name of protecting the railway during the war. As a result, Russia felt the strong pressure behind it. Your Majesty, this is the only common interest we can establish with China, and it is very difficult for us to establish ties with China across the whole of Eastern Europe. ”

The Prussian king agreed, he was not very concerned about this railway issue, not that he did not care about the railway, but not about the management of the railway. Whoever is in charge and who should be in charge, as long as it can play a role in transportation.

In the eyes of the king, Bismarck was indeed only an insignificant figure. During Bismarck's tenure in China, Prussia's diplomatic work was constantly being promoted. They have already reached an alliance with Austria on the Russian issue. Both sides have a strong desire to recover the land that Russia has taken away from them.

Bismarck was not opposed to cooperation with Austria, because it was part of his vision. It was only some of the clauses which, when he learned from the Foreign Secretary, were very much against them. Because Prussia won the battle and supported Austria to seize Russia's western Ukraine, not only to recover Galicia and other places annexed by Russia, but also to greatly advance to Ukraine, Bismarck did not care about the increase in the contradictions between Austria and Russia, but he strongly opposed the Prussia-Austria agreement and asked Austria to support Prussia's plan to seize Finland.

I don't know when this mess of Finland got into the Prussian royal family, and the Prussian king has always been obsessed with the title of Grand Duke of Finland. Bismarck knew very well that whoever occupied Finland would be the number one target of attack for Russia, and this was determined from the geography of the time of Peter the Great, and it was on this issue that the mighty Swedish Empire fell. The Russians could not have threatened Petersburg by the power of the occupied Finland, so whoever occupied Finland would become the pressure cooker cover for Russia alone, just as the Ottomans stuck the Bosphorus.

Bismarck's eyes were on Germany, and he envisioned that Prussia should take back Poland from Russia in a limited amount, or even only part of Poland, and then reach a rapprochement with Russia, and at the same time support Austria to carve up Russia, so that the contradictions between Russia and Austria would prevail over the contradictions with Prussia, paving the way for Prussia to squeeze out Austria later.

However, the king's diplomatic achievements have put Prussia on the front line of bearing the pressure on Austria in the future, and in the future Austria and Prussia will go to war, maybe Russia will join Austria's side.

Bismarck tried to persuade the Foreign Secretary, but the Foreign Secretary was unmoved, because he could not object to the diplomatic terms with Austria, which he considered to be a major diplomatic achievement.

Instead, the Foreign Secretary wanted Bismarck to think more about the French question, and the recent events in France had mobilized the emotions of all countries, from the aristocracy to the commoners.

Because the French were trying to restore the Napoleonic family in France.

In the autumn of the previous year (1845), a revolution broke out in France, after which the Orleans dynasty was overthrown and a republic was established in France.

The following year, Napoleon's nephew, the second son of King Louis Bonaparte of the Netherlands, Louis Napoleon Bonaparte, absconded back to France, took the new office of the bourgeoisie, joined the Constituent Assembly, and became a member of parliament.

Napoleon's nephew, unlike the rest of the Napoleonic family, was an active political figure. After the collapse of Napoleon's empire, he moved to Switzerland with his mother, where he attended a military school and later became an artillery officer. Since then, however, he has been actively involved in politics, supporting the Italian charcoal party movement and participating in the uprising in the Roman region. In 1836 he staged an army rebellion in Strasbourg against the July Dynasty, and after his defeat he was exiled to Brazil and the United States. Soon returned to Europe and stayed in England in 1839. In 1840 he ventured again to start a riot in Boulogne and was sentenced to life imprisonment. During the revolution, he took the opportunity to escape from prison and escape to England.

After confirming the victory of the revolution, he returned to his homeland, became a member of parliament, joined the Constituent Assembly, and participated in the drafting of the French constitution.

The Provisional Government of France, which soon adopted a constitution, affirmed universal suffrage for male adult citizens, which was absolutely revolutionary and idealistic and democratic. Because in the vast majority of countries, even in the United Kingdom, which has the most mature parliamentary system, not everyone has the right to vote. In almost all parliamentary countries, there are clear property requirements for the right to vote, for example, the British electorate only makes up about 2% of the population, and the working class is excluded.

These ideas are universally accepted, and they all agree that "a man who has contributed only a penny to the state should not enjoy the same power and influence as those who have contributed thousands", which is clearly a bourgeois idea of determining power by property, which is more advanced than the aristocratic notion that "a man who is born noble should not enjoy the same power and influence as a man who is born inferior", but still does not take the poor into account.

Even the United States is implementing this policy, but in some states, such as New York, Pennsylvania, etc., half of their male adult citizens have the right to vote, as long as there are citizens who are legally taxed and enthroned, they have the right to vote.

The French led the way in one step, but with a worrying consequence.

That is the question of Napoleon's influence. There is no doubt that among the middle and lower classes, Napoleon's prestige is unparalleled. Even if the poor were the biggest victims of the wars launched by Napoleon, they might as well support Napoleon. It is a historical phenomenon that the poor have historically supported the powerful, while the elite and the middle class have supported equality. Some people say that the poor need a strong power to ensure that wealth is distributed equally to them, just as the poorer the states in the United States, the more they support the formation of a strong federation, and the richer the states, the more they want the state's power to expand, and even want independence. Because poor states get more subsidies from the federal treasury, and these subsidies come from the taxes of the rich states.

As a result, after the vast majority of men became legitimate voters, Louis Napoleon Bonaparte was unexpectedly elected president of France with an absolute majority of votes.

Louis Bonaparte was elected mainly because of Napoleon's influence. Because after the sudden opening of the suffrage, he had the support of the vast majority of the peasants. After the French Revolution, it became a small peasant state, and most of the peasants became yeoman farmers, who, as beneficiaries, supported the Revolution, and the names they could remember in the Revolution could not be remembered by anyone except Napoleon. Napoleon's contenders for the presidency, the bourgeois politicians who were active in the big cities, were naturally at a disadvantage, because the vast majority of people had never heard their names before. Everyone knows that in the case of Napoleon, of course they will vote for the Napoleonic family.

After Louis Bonaparte was elected, it was not a big problem, he used the influence of the Bonaparte family, and it was also a political means that could not be blamed.

But the French can't forget Napoleon and support Louis Bonaparte, because he is Napoleon's nephew, but in this history, Napoleon himself did not have an heir, his son King of Rome was short-lived, but left an heir, and Napoleon left a country to his son, the Kingdom of Quebec established in Quebec, North America, has now passed to the third generation.

This figure who should not have appeared in history was named Napoleon Maria Aosta Bonaparte, and he was the only heir to Napoleon's estate, of course, in addition to the Kingdom of Quebec left by Napoleon, that is, only Napoleon's strong influence in France and Europe.

After Louis Bonaparte seized the presidency, he ran into a problem, there were a large number of Bonapartians in France, they were admirers, supporters, and fanaticals of Napoleon, from the aristocracy to the commoners, and they also had a strong influence in the parliament, and he also supported Louis Bonaparte before, because they hoped that Louis Bonaparte would help them restore the Napoleonic family in France.

Now they are moving around the Parliament, hoping to push the bill again to amend the constitution and welcome the King of Quebec back to the throne.

Napoleon's influence in France was as great as his influence in other countries, but in France his influence could make one of his insignificant nephews president of France, and in other countries it could cause panic among governments and people.

Historically, it was also in this way that Louis Bonaparte succeeded in turning France into an empire again, with the absolute support of the peasant vote. He thus became Napoleon III, the historical Napoleon III, defeated by Prussia, witnessed the strong unification of Germany, became a stepping stone to German unification, seemed to be useless, and became the background material for the rise of Germany.

But this son of the Napoleonic family, who was enthusiastic about politics, was very capable, because he was able to get Britain to support him as emperor of France. This proves that Napoleon III had great diplomatic skills.

But now, Louis Bonaparte is the president, and if he wants to be restored, he is not the legitimate heir, he must welcome his little nephew, the child of the Roman king and the American billionaire Aosta family, to inherit the throne, between his nephew as emperor and himself as president, Louis Bonaparte is not difficult to choose.

The difficulty is that he could not do what he wanted, because he came to power on the basis of Napoleon's prestige, which now made him push Napoleon's grandson back to become emperor, which made it very difficult for him. If he does not agree, those of his fanatical supporters will immediately become his fanatical opponents, and if he agrees, the whole of Europe will not accept it, and his own political ambitions will be hit.

"We should support Napoleon's restoration!"

Bismarck, after careful consideration, said decisively.
