In addition, the envoys sent by the Tsar and France made a secret agreement with the Austrian Emperor, and I don't know what kind of benefits were given, and the Austrian Emperor Franz Joseph brazenly ordered the Austrian army to launch an attack on Prague and other Bohemian regions, and also actively contacted the nobles of Saxony and the Kingdom of Bavaria, preparing to regain the position of head of the German Confederation.

This not only shook the status of the Kingdom of Prussia as the head of the newly formed German Confederation, but also put Prussia in the face of a fatal blow and division. For a time, the Kingdom of Prussia was in a desperate danger of rebellion. The Prussian emperor was also timid and prepared to temporarily retreat, withdrawing the troops that had attacked Tsarist Russia to his homeland, abandoning the vast territory of Tsarist Russia and Bohemia that he had already occupied.

Bismarck was adamantly opposed, and he struggled to convince the Emperor that he must not give up the opportunity for Prussia to become stronger. The occupation of the territory of Tsarist Russia, the expansion of its territory, the unification of the German Confederation, and then the restoration of the glory of the Holy Roman Empire and the domination of the European continent are the painstaking efforts of Prussia for many years, and it is the fundamental interest of the entire Junker aristocracy, which must not be changed.

Bismarck put forward suggestions, one is to urgently ask for help from the Chinese Empire, an ally in the east and a world power, and ask the Chinese Empire to provide immediate support, preferably stationed in the area of Azov and the lower Volga River, and the western expeditionary army to approach the Bordeaux Heights and the Austrian border, forcing the Austrian Empire to be unable to divide its forces to attack Prussia.

Prussia, on the other hand, sent several envoys to the British, the Kingdom of Italy, Serbia and the principalities of Moldavia, as well as the Ottoman governor of Egypt, Ismail Pasha, the ruler of the Ali dynasty, and Poland to persuade these forces to take advantage of the rebellion. He firmly believed that the enemy of his enemy was his friend, and the Kingdom of Italy had been trying to recover the northeastern regions occupied by the Austrian Empire, while Serbia had been allowed to become independent by Austria, but there had been no practical progress at present, and the principalities such as Moldavia had always wanted to be independent, and even Bismarck personally wrote letters to several Hungarian nobles, inciting Hungary to become independent from the Austrian Empire.

In view of the fact that the Ottoman Empire was re-drawn by Britain, Bismarck's proposal to support the Egyptian governor Ismail Pasha to openly break with the Ottomans and establish a powerful Egyptian sultanate, which would not only attract the attention of the Ottoman Empire, but also break the original layout of British and French interests in the Suez Canal and the current relative balance, so that both sides disliked.

Nowadays, only the whole of Europe is in chaos, the more beneficial it is for Prussia.

Of course, more, Bismarck was still based on Prussia itself, and he had already ordered an urgent conscription in the territory of the Kingdom of Prussia, called up a group of Prussian civilians to serve as reserves, and organized all the original reserve armies to control the states of Bavaria and Hesse in the territory, and at the same time let the Emperor personally come forward to meet with the King of Bavaria and other kings and grand dukes of the German Confederation members to clarify the importance and obtain their support.

At the same time, the major arsenals in Prussia were at full speed and stepped up the production of weapons. The banking consortia controlled by the major Prussian aristocracy in Europe and even in the world began to operate, organizing the flow of capital to Prussia and turning it into war funds.

The whole of Prussia and the countries of the German Confederation became a huge war machine, which quickly became a working machine.

But even so, the predicament encountered by Prussia was very great, and it was not difficult for anyone to find that if there was no intervention of external forces, and only relying on Prussia's own potential, I am afraid that in addition to surrendering and admitting defeat, and insisting on opposing the whole of Europe led by Britain and France, I am afraid that it will be difficult to escape the fate of being partitioned or even annihilated. After all, Prussia's economic strength was there, all its resources were invested in the war, and the whole social system fell into a strange circle, which simply could not last long.

Feng Yunshan fell into deep thought after listening to what Guo Songtao said. Before any decision was made, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Wu Ruxiao, had already led the Minister of the Kingdom of Prussia to the Reich, Karenway, to hurry to ask for an audience.

Karenwei is also an old acquaintance of Feng Yunshan, as early as when he was still the holy king of the Taiping Holy Kingdom, he purchased a lot of weapons and equipment and basic industrial equipment from Prussia and Europe through Karenwei, although it was purchased with money, but it was also a lot of help, and he was grateful to Karenway, and among the ministers of many European countries in China, he was the most important figure for Feng Yunshan.

Sure enough, Kalunwei did not have the slightest politeness, and directly proposed to Feng Yunshan to reinforce the Prussian Kingdom: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty should know something about the situation in Prussia, the situation is even more serious than imagined, and the foreign ministers are ordered by the Emperor to implore Your Majesty to send troops to rescue our country!" Grateful to his heart, the Emperor expressed his willingness to be friendly with the Chinese Empire forever from now on, and only obey His Majesty's orders in the international saddle! ”

Although Feng Yunshan is willing to assist the Kingdom of Prussia, but after all, it is too far away, and if he sends troops directly, it will not only cost a lot, but also lose many soldiers of the empire's captured army. However, the distance between the Chinese Empire and your country is 108,000 miles, and even if you want reinforcements, it will be very difficult, and you have to think about it in the long run. However, there is one thing I can call the shots, and the debts you have borrowed from the Empire can be postponed until the war is over! In addition, I can also ask Nanyang Company, Western Company, etc. to send some goods to help your country! ”

Karenway was grateful, but did not seem to think that the aid was enough, and pleaded further: "Your Majesty, please save me Prussia!" If there is no emergency rescue from His Majesty, I am afraid that Prussia will not last long, and once Prussia is defeated, not only will it not be able to avoid the fate of destroying the country, but I am afraid that even your country will be affected.

Tsarist Russia would thus regain its strength and rise, and Britain and France would divide Prussia and the rest of the German Confederation into their spheres of influence because of this victory, and the whole European market would be controlled by Britain and France, and your country would lose most of its European market. Not only that, but even Tsarist Russia will tear up the agreement signed with your country and re-invade your borders.

Your Majesty, I beg you to send troops. The righteous king was in the area of the Caspian Sea, and at least slightly sent troops to the west or north, whether it was to threaten Austria or Tsarist Russia, it was a huge support for our Prussia! By the way, by the way, Your Majesty, the Faroe Islands and Iceland, which your country is preparing to lease, have already been occupied by Britain and the United States, respectively. Is Your Majesty just swallowing your anger? ”

Feng Yunshan was moved, but he still needed the Prussian Kingdom to spend some money, so he said directly: "Although they are allies, they can't help for free." You must know that as long as I give the order to send troops, how many soldiers of the empire will have to die on the battlefield, this is a huge sacrifice and loss, and I can't bear it! ”

"Your Majesty, these are easy to say! As long as Your Majesty is willing to help Prussia send troops, we have said that we are willing to bear all the losses of your country and the compensation of your soldiers. At the same time, he is willing to help His Majesty open up the passage of the Black Sea and the Mediterranean, sign a permanent non-aggression and friendship treaty. At the same time, if the Kingdom of Prussia becomes the first power in Europe and establishes the Holy Roman Empire of Germany, the markets in all territories will be open to you. And it is guaranteed that the entire German Empire can circulate your country's currency, the Holy Dollar! All your country's aid to our Prussia will be repaid in the future at the rate of 15% per annum at the rate of interest!

Also, the area east of the Dnieper River in Tsarist Russia can be completely governed by your country or by an agent appointed by His Majesty! "Karenway is already a little incoherent.

Feng Yunshan glanced at Wu Ruxiao and Zuo Zongtang, who were already looking forward to it, and replied very simply: "Okay, I have decided to send troops!" ”
