Chapter 56: I am afraid that there will be no chaos in the world
Xu Qing felt that this Bismarck had come at the right time, and this Bismarck had come at this time, which just reminded Xu Qing that he had a way to break the game. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoBecause Bismarck mentioned a word, and that is "geo-1 politics". Regarding geopolitical politics, the earliest application is the theory of "distant and close attack" during the Qin Dynasty, which is the earliest recorded.
However, Xu Qing also knew that it could be used in this way, and many diplomats used it in this way, adhering to the means of geopolitical politics to carry out diplomacy, and now Xu Qing suddenly thought of a way to break the situation.
"Teacher, I really haven't seen you for a day, like every three autumns!" Bismarck immediately said shamelessly.
Xu Qing also said very hypocritically, "Bismarck, I didn't expect you to come back, I really want to kill you as a teacher!" ”
The two big men hugged each other like this, looking like a master and apprentice. Although the two sides are very eager, they don't know how to calculate each other in their hearts! These two hypocritical teachers and students almost collapsed the few women next to them. I've seen hypocrisy, I've never seen such hypocrisy. However, whether Xu Qing accepted Bismarck as an apprentice or Bismarck as an apprentice, they all had their own purposes.
"Teacher, since you accepted me as a student, I have received the attention of Prince William. He intended to keep me with him, but I missed my teacher so much that I made a special move to the post of Prussian Minister to England, and henceforth I was the Prussian Minister to England. Bismarck said.
Xu Qing also hurriedly said: "In this way, our teachers and students often meet, which is gratifying!" ”
Bismarck did not waste any time, and said directly: "Teacher, I have come this time in the hope that I can ask my teacher more about geopolitical matters. Since listening to the Qin Dynasty's strategy of long-distance and close attack, I have really opened my mouth! Only then did I know that I was a shallow learner, so I came to ask the teacher for advice! ”
"Teacher, may I ask what kind of international environment we should have in Prussia, so that it can be regarded as an excellent international environment, which is conducive to our Prussia to unify the whole of Germany?" Bismarck asked.
Hearing that Prussia was going to unify Germany, Mathilde next to him looked very bad. You must know that Germany and France, it is a feud, if Prussia is allowed to unify Germany, then Germany's power will inevitably rise greatly. Especially when Napoleon split Germany into pieces, which made Mathilde, who was Napoleon's niece, even more worried about whether he would take action against France once Germany was reunified.
But Bismarck didn't care about this, he asked directly and sincerely: "Please also ask the teacher for advice!" ”
Xu Qing's eyes rolled, he knew that his opportunity had come, and he could finally get rid of the pressure of the United Kingdom. Britain is currently forcing Xu Qing to come up with an opening plan, but it is impossible for Xu Qing to call it out. Then the only way he can do it is to divert the British target, so that the British target can be transferred to the maximum extent, so that the British have no time to pay attention to themselves, and they can avoid it.
As for how to solve it, this is actually very simple for Xu Qing.
"Go and call Louie!" Xu Qing said.
Soon, Louis Bonaparte also came, this time Xu Qing, Louis Bonaparte, and Bismarck were the men who sat together, and the women next to them left except for Mathilde, who did not leave. But these three men and one woman are holding back bad water in this way! The bad water that these three men and one woman held in their stomachs was enough to annihilate many living beings.
First of all, Xu Qing took the initiative to say: "Louis, Bismarck, I know that you Germany and France have a feud. I'm not afraid to tell you that you've always been with France, and you may have to go to war in the future. However, that is also in the future, and we will talk about it in the future. The future contradictions will not affect our current short-term cooperation, do you understand? ”
Louis Bonaparte and Bismarck glanced at each other, obviously knowing that France and Germany must have a feud relationship, and France and Prussia will inevitably go to war in the future. However, the future will not necessarily affect short-term cooperation. Strategic competition does not hinder tactical cooperation. So Bismarck and Louis Bonaparte understood this!
"Bismarck, I know you want to unify Germany. However, if you want to unify Germany, you will not have it without a suitable international environment. If you rashly unify Germany, I am afraid that many European powers will oppose it. So you have to create a good international environment so that it is impossible for all countries to interfere with you at the same time. ”
Then Xu Qing looked at Louis Bonaparte, and then said, "Louis, your Bonaparte family wants to be restored, so I can also understand." Of course, you also need a chance, and without a suitable opportunity, you will not be able to recover. Of course, the Orleans dynasty in France is on the verge of collapse at the moment, but it can still hold on for some time. However, we now have an important opportunity, an important package solution. ”
"Prussia hoped that the surrounding countries would 'get into chaos,' so that it would be of great help to Prussia's various foreign policies in the future. As for France, it is already in the midst of an economic crisis, and if a tragic war suddenly breaks out at this time, what would you say about the Congress? In the event of a tragic war, France's already fragile economy will collapse. At that time, various uprisings broke out in advance, which was not impossible, but very likely. ”
"Therefore, the most important thing for us at the moment is to make this world chaotic! We should not be afraid that the world is not chaotic, we can only reap our benefits if we are in a mess! ”
Xu Qing's words were simply Hongguoguo's direct telling them, now it must be chaotic, it must be chaotic! If not, Prussia did not have a suitable external environment to create the basis for future unification. As for the Bonapartes, there was also no suitable opportunity for restoration. This is a complementary one, and only when the world is in turmoil can we have the opportunity to do more.
This fishing in troubled waters is good for the Bonaparte family, Prussia, and Xu Qing. If the European side is in chaos, the British will not have the opportunity to pay attention to Xu Qing, let alone force China to open up. If there was chaos in Europe, Britain would not have been foolish enough to send troops to China at the same time to force China to open its market.
So what Xu Qing has to do now is to make the whole of Europe, at least a few powerful countries, chaotic, so that Britain has no time to pay attention to China, let alone force Xu Qing. As long as Xu Qing holds on for a few years, then everything will be fine.
Bismarck quickly replied: "How can we mess up the whole of Europe?" Especially if it involves a war involving several major powers, this may not be so easy! ”
Xu Qing quickly replied: "Bismarck, in this Europe, there is a powder keg, and it is about to explode at one point. Do you know where? Right here in the Balkans. ”
"This Balkan Peninsula is a European powder keg, a place where various forces compete. In this Balkan Peninsula, not only Turkey, a country that believes in other religions, is different from your Christianity, which originated from Jesus, but there are contradictions in the religious aspect itself, and there are many in this history. ”
"And this Balkan Peninsula is almost the focus of competition between various forces. Among them, Britain and France wanted to protect the security of the passages of the Far East and the Indian Ocean and guarantee commercial interests. As for Russia's desire to strengthen its influence and expansion in the Mediterranean, this will inevitably lead to a situation. ”
"After defeating Napoleon the Great, the so-called Holy Alliance was formed to curb Russia's expansion into Europe. So if Russia wants to expand, it is nothing more than two choices, one is the East, that is, China. Of course, this is not realistic for the time being, and their only direction of expansion is in the direction of Turkey. ”
"But the Turkish direction is easy to alarm the British and French, who are bound to defend their interests in the Balkans, that is, in the Mediterranean, so that they will not sit idly by and ignore Turkey. So they will definitely contain, so that war will inevitably break out. ”
"In fact, as long as Turkey makes proper peace with France and Britain, it can completely win the support of Britain and France, and Britain and France will not mind strengthening their influence on Turkey, so it is inevitable to send troops."
"Therefore, as long as this Russia makes a move against Turkey, it is not too difficult to involve Britain and France in this war! The British could not sit back and watch Turkey be wiped out by Russia, so that there would be one more person to grab food in the Mediterranean. The British will not want the Russians to come and grab food, so they will definitely take the opportunity to start a war in support of the Turks. ”
Bismarck and Louis Bonaparte looked at this scene, and their eyes immediately lit up, what a chance! If Britain and France are involved in this war, then France's already very fragile economy will inevitably be worse, and it will almost inevitably be untenable. ”
"When the time comes, the three great powers of Britain, France, and Russia will all fight, and international affairs will be too beneficial for Prussia. Because these countries are also influential countries in Europe, I don't need to say much about other countries, I can't get on the stage! On the other hand, once France collapses, then Louis Bonaparte, you have a chance to become the emperor of France. ”
As a result of this, Prussia, represented by Bismarck, obtained a good international environment, which was enough to provide a good international situation for the future unification of Germany. As for the collapse of France, Louis Bonaparte could take the opportunity to regain the throne and restore the throne of the Bonaparte family.
As for the last aspect, that is the most important thing for Xu Qing, that is, once Britain is involved in this war, Britain has no heart to force Xu Qing to give a so-called open plan. At that time, even if Xu Qing didn't give it, it would be impossible for Britain to go on an expedition to China when a big war broke out with Russia. As long as the British did not faint into the water, they would not have crossed the sea to conquer China in the event of a war of hundreds of thousands of people.
"So, if war breaks out this time, it will be a very good international environment for Prussia. I don't need to say more about what to do next, and if you Prussians don't know how to do it, then I'll expel you from the division. Xu Qing said.
Bismarck immediately promised: "Teacher, I will not not even be deprived of this ability, and I will solve the Prussian affairs when the time comes!" ”
As for the other side, Xu Qing also said: "Louis, once France is involved in the war this time, you must be well prepared, but don't act rashly either, understand?" As long as the world is chaotic, then we can each get what we need, which will be beneficial to all three of us. ”
The few people present are brewing bad water one after another, and they are obviously not upright gentlemen, they are all a group of politicians who can sell everything for their own and their national interests. As for saying that people from other countries are dead, what are you afraid of, anyway, it is not your own people who are dead.
On the contrary, once a big war broke out, Prussia could obtain a very good international game environment, and it would be much easier for Germany to unify in the future. On the other hand, the French Bonaparte family wants to restore the country, but they want to go crazy, and take this opportunity to completely collapse the Orleans dynasty, which is the best.
Therefore, these few people present, all of them are "afraid that the world will not be chaotic", and only when the world is chaotic will they have the opportunity to take advantage of the fire.
As for whether it will be calculated according to Xu Qing's deduction, this Xu Qing is very confident. Because historically, the Crimean War broke out in this Russia, and finally Britain and France were involved.
Of course, the Crimean War in the original history was not fought by the Orleans dynasty, but by Napoleon III. However, in fact, this is also the case between countries, and it will not change the position of interests because of the change of government and the change of ruler. This is actually the same as the butt deciding the head, no matter how many rulers have changed, as long as the interests are still there and the national interest orientation has not changed, then no matter who is the ruler, it will be in vain.
Although France is now the Orleans dynasty, as long as France's interest orientation does not change, then no matter who makes a similar choice, the strategic direction will not be easily changed.
As for Xu Qing, Bismarck, and Louis Bonaparte, or the three forces behind it, they want to ignite a fire in this place where there is already a rift. In this way, the world will be completely chaotic, and they, who are afraid that the world will not be chaotic, will benefit here.
