Ron carried out King William's orders, strengthened military training, equipped the army with advanced weapons, and appointed traditional officers in the prime of life, as a result, the parliament of the kingdom, which was controlled by some capitalists, feared that this military reform would weaken the influence of the capitalists they represented in the army, and that the reformed army was an army heavily influenced by Juncker and could become an instrument against the bourgeoisie and against parliament.

After the king ascended the throne, he tried his best to maintain the king's power and carry out military reforms, and on the parliamentary side, the joint Chancellor Oswald Schwering tried his best to oppose it, and serious contradictions broke out between the two sides, in fact, it has now become not only a question of whether the military reform is not reformed, but has become a question of whether the Kingdom of Prussia will be ruled by the king or the parliament, and the king and the parliament are in danger of breaking out into a violent conflict and causing the whole kingdom to be in turmoil.

The king announced the dissolution of parliament some time ago, but the parliament fought back violently with the support of the capitalists, especially the prime minister Oswald Schwering, who was also the spokesman of the capitalists, and strongly opposed the king's moves, which plunged the cabinet and the court into chaos, and the king began to hesitate, not knowing whether his military reform should continue. It was precisely because of this that Ron, as Minister of War, suggested that the king call Bismarck, who was stationed abroad, back home.

Thinking of this, Ron glanced at Bismarck. Bismarck sorted out his thoughts a little and said, "Your Majesty, what the crown prince said just now is very good, he taught me a lesson. The Chinese Empire in the East has become very powerful, defeating Britain, the world's largest power, and this is the effect of military reform, which has already taught us a truth, backward will be beaten. If we in the Kingdom of Prussia want to unify the German Confederation, we must make our military strong and carry out military reforms.

General Ron has already told me about the military reform led by His Majesty, which is really the best way to make Prussia strong, and which, in my opinion, is not resolute and thorough enough. ”

As soon as the king heard this, he understood Bismarck's attitude.

He asked solemnly, "Bismarck, it seems that Ron has already told you about my purpose in summoning you this time." Just now, the crown prince used the example of the Chinese Empire to fully illustrate the importance of military reform, and now I ask you, would you like to be a minister of the interior and carry out military reform? ”

Bismarck replied in surprise: "Yes, Your Majesty! ”

The king continued: "Are you prepared to resist the parliamentary majority and their strong opposition, and are you willing to do your best for the Kingdom of Prussia, for me, a plan to enlarge and reform the army?" ”

Bismarck knew that this was the king's last inquiry, and he said with a serious face: "I do, Your Majesty, and I will be more than happy to serve you."

Forgive me for taking the plunge, I have already said that the military reform carried out earlier was not thorough and resolute enough! Although it was General Ron who recommended me, I would say that he was not good enough to carry out this great military reform. Your Majesty, this military reform must be carried out, and it must be carried out on the basis of economic and financial support, and the reason why it conflicts with the parliaments controlled by the capitalists is because of the problem of funding military spending. Therefore, the key to resolving the contradiction with the parliament is still funding. And the Chinese Empire in the East, I heard that it has very strong funds, therefore, Your Majesty, I have a bold idea! ”

The King and Prince William, as well as General Ron, stared at Bismarck.

Bismarck, having succeeded in arousing the interest of the trio, continued: "Isn't Britain preparing to send troops on a large scale against the Chinese Empire?" And these countries in Europe, whether it is Britain, France, Austria, Tsarist Russia and Turkey, they will definitely think that Britain can win a war, and most of them will think the same as I just thought, thinking that Britain is the most powerful country in the world and will definitely succeed in recovering India. But according to the information that the crown prince said just now, the Chinese Empire is simply a terrifying existence, so even if it can't defeat Britain and withdraw from India, at least it will not be defeated too badly and can hold the East Indies. And on the army side, with that kind of Mauser rifle and Krupp cannon, it is even more unlikely to fail.

Therefore, we can help the other side secretly in their most critical moments, obtain their friendship and funds, and use their funds to advance the military reform of the Kingdom of Prussia.

And, with the industrial technology of our Kingdom of Prussia, with the funds, it is also possible to vigorously develop the Navy. It was only because of the lack of funds and the urgent need to unify the German Confederation that the navy was completely abandoned. Now it seems that without a navy, we simply cannot rush out of the Baltic Sea, let alone unify Germany and become a European power! ”

The king shook his head and said, "Although the Chinese Empire is rich, how can they provide such a huge amount of money for our military reform?" Besides, no matter how rich you are, you can't be willing to lend us such a large amount of money at will. Bismarck, do you still want to tell me how you can be as thorough as you say if you were to be the prime minister of the kingdom and lead the military reform of the kingdom? ”

Bismarck was pleasantly surprised when he heard this, he did not expect the king to be so bold that he would directly say that he would appoint him as the prime minister of the Kingdom of Prussia! You must know that the position of prime minister, as the name suggests, is the first minister in the entire kingdom and the most powerful cabinet minister, and he has not even served as a cabinet minister from an ambassador abroad, so he directly let himself be the prime minister, which is a great reuse and trust.

Bismarck's chest was filled with a warmth and emotion of the death of a confidant.

Looking at the king, Bismarck's face was resolute, and his tone was also impassioned: "Your Majesty, if Your Majesty can trust me and appoint me as Prime Minister, in ten to twenty years, not to mention that Your Majesty will definitely be able to ascend to the throne of the German Emperor, at least, my Kingdom of Prussia can expand its land area by half, expand its population by half, and completely end the history of relying on second-rate countries sandwiched between Tsarist Russia and Great Britain and worried about being invaded and annexed by France and Austria at any time."

And military reform is the first step. It must be resolute and thorough from the start. This is not something that can be solved by speeches and resolutions that win over the majority, but by iron and blood! For the current Chancellor Oswald Schwering, as well as for the majority of the members of the Kingdom Parliament, effective measures must be taken to divide and disintegrate.

In the case of Oswald Schwerling, he was arrested and sent to the courts for trial and imprisonment, while for the members of parliament who represented the interests of the bourgeoisie, the kingdom could enlist the support of the working class to resist the pressure from the capitalists, so that the parliamentarians could become more just. The point is that we can use the great cause of German unification to divert the attention of these parliamentarians, and to divert the contradictions within the kingdom through foreign wars. If they still don't want to make trouble, they will directly dissolve the council with an iron fist! The Kingdom of Prussia could do without parliament, but not without military might!

Such a policy decision is also extremely beneficial to military reform. The military strength was continuously strengthened through military reform, and after having strong military strength, it was possible to use force to attack the surrounding areas, expand the strength of the Kingdom of Prussia itself, and obtain wealth to continue to strengthen its military strength, and only through the iron-blooded policy could the final unification of the entire German Confederation be achieved by force.

Your Majesty, now the news that Britain is ready to join forces with other European countries to send troops to the Far East has spread secretly. This news should be true. And this is the opportunity for our Kingdom of Prussia!

We must prepare in advance and take advantage of the great opportunity of these European countries to jointly send troops to the East and start a war with the Chinese Empire under the attraction of Britain, and continue to attack Denmark and defeat Denmark once and for all. In this way, it was shown to all the German states that only we, the Kingdom of Prussia, could provoke the great task of unifying the German Confederation. Then, I suspect that Austria will also join the British war in the Far East, and in the meantime, we will take the opportunity to stir up the conflict between the Kingdom of Prussia and Austria, find an excuse to send troops to Austria, and defeat Austria once and for all, so that your Majesty can become the Emperor of the German Empire! ”

"Iron and Blood Policy!" King Wilhelm Frederick Ludwig's eyes lit up, muttered, slapped his palm on the table, and exclaimed: "What an iron-blooded policy!" Bismarck, this king will appoint you as the Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Kingdom tomorrow, to be your strong backing, you use your iron-blooded policy to unite the Chinese Empire, unite with Tsarist Russia, deal with those members of the Parliament, deal with those European powers such as Britain, France, Denmark and Austria, and become the iron-blooded Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Prussia!! ”
