This is a middle-aged man who looks dignified, and although he is only wearing civilian clothes, he is still magnificent. He has two beards, is very tall and burly, and contains great energy and strength. His forehead was broad, his eyes were sharp, and his unhesitating action was evident in his anticipation.

Even if it just looks, I feel that he can do a big job, and this demeanor is really heartbreaking.

"Mr. de Treville, thank you very much for your meeting," he smiled and nodded at Charles as he watched. "I thought I'd have to wait a long time."

Even when he smiled, there was an unruly oppressive force in his expression, as if he wanted to see people through, and he didn't see much respect.

No wonder generations of Prussian kings didn't like him, he was indeed too sharp, and if it weren't for the fact that there was no one to use, they wouldn't have thought of relying on such a person......

However, in the face of this oppressive force, Charles did not feel the anger of being rushed, but was excited.

This man is the great man who finally dealt France a heavy blow after John Churchill and Wellington, and in fact ended the "French dream...... And he came to see me today.

Even when he thought of this, he felt a sense of honor in his heart.

"Mr. von Bismarck, it is a great pleasure to meet you." Charles suppressed his excitement, walked around his desk, walked over to him, and held out his hand. "As soon as I heard that you were asking to see me, I postponed all my schedules, so today we can talk freely and don't worry about time."

Bismarck was slightly stunned, he didn't expect that Trevier would give him such a courtesy when he met.

He was now a member of the Prussian State Council and Prussia's representative to the Reichstag, although the Reichstag was an important position, but in the Prussian diplomatic system. His status is inferior to that of the ambassador to France, and in terms of status, it is obvious that the young man in front of him is much higher.

The two of them shook hands like that.

This is shaking hands with the times...... Charles shook and thought to himself.

Before he could react, Charles let go of his hand, and motioned for the other to come over to the coffee table and sit down.

Bismarck obediently walked over to the coffee table. Then he sat down across from him.

"I've already asked someone to make the coffee, and I'll be able to bring it to me soon......" Charles smiled slightly, already coming out of the initial excitement, and his attitude was very calm, "I have a good cigar here, would you like some?" ”

"I heard you don't like cigar smoking?" Bismarck was a little confused.

"Looks like you know me well......" Charles smiled and nodded, "yes, I don't smoke much." But I have plenty of cigars in stock, enough to entertain any guest—besides. I don't mind anyone smoking in front of me at all, so you don't have to hold yourself back. ”

Bismarck's heart became more and more confused, and he did not understand why the other party was so humble to him.

At this time, Bismarck, of course, did not know that God was going to send him a great responsibility, so even if he was very confident, he knew that he was not in a high position and could not afford his own lofty ambitions.

He was sure that Tréville had heard of his name. At most, there is just an impression that the French don't take him very seriously.

"I heard about your personality. And I appreciate that in the diplomatic world, which is stuck in clichés and deceitful manners, sometimes we need this kind of motivation to dare to say and do! At that moment, Charles raised his hand and held it weakly, making a powerful and impassioned gesture, "You are in front of the rest of your country." Didn't you just show your toughness? Since you are free in his presence, you can also be ...... with me."

He finally "understood" why the powerful Monsieur de Treville held him in such high esteem.

He climbed to a high position at a young age, and naturally he was very proud of himself, and looked down on the mediocrity of others. And I must feel that the diplomatic community is empty and old waste.

Although he is a round older than him, he is not yet forty years old, and he can also be called a young and promising young Zhuang in the diplomatic circles.

He must have heard about what I was doing back home.

However, when I was tough in front of people at home and Austrians, I was not just showing my personality, I was not a reckless man...... He smiled bitterly in his heart, feeling a little depressed about his misunderstanding.

"I am very respectful, although I don't learn so many etiquette rules by the river in Pomerania." Bismarck replied with some hesitation, "Especially in the presence of someone as important as you." But...... Since you are so magnanimous, thank you. ”

"It's good for both of us that you're relaxed."

Charles shook the rattle bell and had a cigar offered to him, then handed it to the other party.

Bismarck took the cigar cigarette, then carefully cut it open and slowly lit it.

When he took his first puff, he visibly relaxed, and Charles calmed down as well.

Yes, no matter what kind of great man he is in the future, and what brilliant deeds he has created, but now, he is only a foreign diplomat who has my permission to smoke cigars...... As respectful as it can be, there is nothing to be feared about.

"Mr. von Bismarck, now you can tell me why you have come to visit me." Charles spread his hands, "I'm sorry, I didn't expect such a guest to be today...... So I don't know what kind of topic to talk to you about. ”

"Actually, I'm just visiting you on a temporary basis today." Bismarck screwed a cigar into the ashtray and became serious again, "Since I was appointed to my new post by our king, I have recently been learning how to handle foreign affairs...... So I'm now in France, and in addition to traveling around this great country and seeing its magnificent buildings, I mainly want to meet the people who run the country today. ”

He was not false, and the current King of Prussia, Frederick Wilhelm IV, had always been deeply concerned about Bismarck's temper, fearing that he would offend other German states in Frankfurt because of his ignorance and cause some diplomatic trouble.

He therefore insisted that Bismarck serve as his deputy in Frankfurt for three months under the outgoing minister Theodor von Rokhov before acting as Prussian spokesman in the Confederate Diet.

Nor can this be said to be an unreasonable arrangement. A new ambassador must first carefully understand the customs of this unusual meeting of representatives of the princes of the states before he can play a leading role in this circle.

But...... For someone like Bismarck, this arrangement is a bit aggrieved, what can von Rokhov teach him? He couldn't see it.

Therefore, he simply took advantage of the opportunity to travel around and meet the dignitaries of the European countries before saying that the Prussian representative to the Reichstag was for him no more than a ladder to climb to a higher position.

"And who have you seen?" Charles was a little curious.

"I came to visit you first, and I'm glad I did it right away." Bismarck smiled, "To tell you the truth, you are only a little less famous than Monsieur Bonaparte among the French rulers in the countries of Europe today, and in fact there is talk of you everywhere in the diplomatic circles now, assessing what kind of influence you will have on Europe." ”

"Oh?" Charles was really taken aback. "Is it true?"

"Of course it's true. I can cite my personal experience as proof. Bismarck replied without hesitation.

"I ...... I was honored to arrive. Charles laughed, "But I don't think there can be any kind of praise when all over Europe talk about me." ”

"Hmm...... It's true that there are some people who don't agree with you. Bismarck nodded honestly in acknowledgement, but soon added, "But, believe me, most people are full of praise for you." At least in my opinion, there must be something beyond the average person who can get to where he is today at a young age. ”

Bismarck said that I have something beyond the ordinary?

Whether he was true or fake, Charles felt happy in his heart.

However, happy to be happy, he will not change his position because of such compliments.

"Thank you for the compliment." He nodded rather leisurely.

Just then, the door was opened again, and a staff member brought the coffee and placed it on the coffee table, then walked out again.

"A few years ago I fought for Prussia, against the mob and their supporters, and I am glad that Monsieur Bonaparte and you put an end to the virus of revolution and return peace to France." As if to make Charles happy, he first made his own statement to the usurpation of the Bonapartes, "History will remember his exploits and those of you." ”

"Yes, under the leadership of Mr. President, France has bid farewell to its revolutionary era, and we are happy to work for peace and prosperity in Europe." Naturally, Charles also knows how to reciprocate, "She will no longer bother the countries of Europe, but will bring peace to Europe." ”

"If France were to participate in the cause of maintaining peace in Europe, it would be a blessing for Europe!" Bismarck raised his tone, "I have always believed that Europe needs a strong France." ”

"Thank you for seeing it that way." Charles remained silent.

"Soon I will visit Prince Metternich in Austria...... He's been saying a lot of nice things about you lately. Bismarck smiled, then looked tentatively at Charles, "I heard that you and his son have met?" ”

"Yes, sir." Charles nodded directly, "Mr. Richard von Metternich visited my house once, and he made a good impression on me...... Just like you. (To be continued......)
