Engels' analysis seems to have some truth, but it is different from what happened in history. The fastest chapter update in history Napoleon III was indeed knocked to the ground by the Prussians, and the empire was miserably lost. And in this time and space, Napoleon III and the Germans could live in harmony? Zhu Jishi shook his head suspiciously, but Engels firmly believed.

"This is the only right choice, both for France and for Prussia." The tutor stood up and paced around the office. "What Germany needed was in Central Europe, not in Western Europe, Austria, Bohemia, and Hungary (and later Slovakia), and with these, the German Empire was the most powerful country in Central Europe, and it also had the coal and iron ore needed to develop its industry, and there was enough food. There is no need to attack France at all, and there is no need to seize Russian lands and resources...... If it's going to expand, the destination should also be in the Big 6, although I don't think it needs to do so. Of course, it will ask France, Britain and even the Ming Empire to open their markets and share resources. But only peaceful means will be used to achieve the goal, not violence. Because the Germans hate war, and there have been too many wars in our history, we know that war will not bring any positive progress to Germany. ”

Germans hate war and love peace? Well, Zhu Jishi thought about it too, and most of the Germans he knew in later generations were like this. But that was the lesson learned after suffering from two world wars, how could there be such a German now?

Emperor Zhu shook his head, looked at Engels, and said, "Friedrich, your analysis may have some truth. But I don't believe that the Germans will hate the war. ”

Engels found a chair and sat down. Spread your hands out. smiled bitterly: "Yes, I don't believe it either...... That's just my good wishes, but not reality. ”

He paused for a moment and said with some emotion: "Germany is a very good country, really good!" But its geographical location was too poor, sandwiched between France and Russia, and its access to the sea was blocked by Britain. So it is very difficult for it to become a world hegemon or a European hegemon...... Even if France or Russia could be defeated temporarily, it would not be possible to annex either of these two countries. That is, after the victory. Germany still needs to maintain the 6th Army, the most powerful in the world, in case of retaliation from its opponents. In this way, it would not have much strength to show its navy, and given the geographical location of Germany, it would be too easily surrounded. Therefore, after the reunification of Germany, it must adopt a peaceful foreign policy and maintain friendship with Russia, France, and Great Britain. If, I mean, if a war breaks out between Russia, France and Britain, Germany should play the role of arms dealer and mediator instead of rushing to the front as cannon fodder, this is the most advantageous option! ”

He suddenly took a breath and looked at Zhu Jishi seriously. "Your Majesty, I think I should do something for Germany. I would like to go back to Europe and act as your envoy to bring about peace between Prussia and France! ”

A Germany that remained neutral in the world war? Zhu Jishixin said, wouldn't those Prussian officers see that their hands are itchy?

But if only it could be realized! In the future war between England, France, and Russia, Germany will sit and watch, so that Napoleon III can be invincible - in the current Europe, the one who can defeat France in six places is Germany, Britain can only fight a naval war with France, and Russia cannot defeat France at sea or on six places, unless it relies on the Russian winter to freeze the French to death.

In addition, having ruled Italy and having Turkey as a hardcore ally, the French had a huge advantage in the Mediterranean. This means that France can get supplies from North Africa, have a safe backyard, and can use the Suez Canal to move the Mediterranean Fleet to the Indian Ocean at any time to fight with the Ming Navy. Moreover, after the defeat of the British Empire, a powerful Germany was also a check on the French Empire......

This is indeed the ideal situation!

"Friedrich, I can appoint you as an envoy." Zhu Jishi made a decision on the spot, "Go to Europe as my personal envoy, and if necessary, I can also let Maria go." ”

This woman is busy enough now, and she is about to become a diplomat of the Ming Dynasty.

Engels shook his head, "Your Majesty, I think we need a more influential person to convince the French Emperor." His cousin, the Empress of Mexico, the second in the Bonaparte family, was the real right person. ”

Zhu Jishi nodded, "Okay, I will immediately write to Mathilde and ask her to come forward to persuade Napoleon III." I think...... Napoleon III was simply not in a position to intervene in German affairs until the end of the war in North America, and it was better not to act rashly if he did not want to bring shame on himself. ”

Engels said: "I hope so! ”

……

Berlin, Charlottenburg Palace.

A pair of Prussia's best partners, at this time there is a conversation going down in history.

"Otto, I know the ending very well, they will cut off your head in front of the window of the Opera Square, and then mine later." It was King Wilhelm I of Prussia who spoke, and this was his sincere word and what he feared the most. Being king of Prussia seemed like a very dangerous job these days. Chop off your head or something, maybe it's really going to be raw. Because Prussia at this time was not the Prussia of the army that had the state later, but the Prussia where liberal and democratic ideas were rampant, and the consequences of the revolution of 1848 still did not completely disappear in Prussia. Politicians representing the bourgeois liberals controlled the parliament, while the power of the king was dwindling, and a new revolution could take place at any time.

And Otto. Feng. It was in this form that Bismarck was pushed out by Wilhelm I as a minister, and the tall, strong man smiled and said to his king: "If sooner or later you are going to die, why don't you die decently?" There is no difference between dying on the gallows or dying on the battlefield. We must fight to the end! ”

Bismarck's words, which have been said in this time and space and in another time and space, have been taken as wise sayings. However, the actual meaning is a bit of a broken jar - anyway, the country is already like this, and the rebels below are ready to move, and it seems that they will soon rebel, and most of them will not be able to suppress it (the armies of European countries are always a little sluggish when it comes to internal suppression). Instead of dying like this, it is better to fight and unify Germany with war! If we win, then we will be national heroes. The common people below will never cut off the heads of national heroes, right? In case of failure, then simply die on the battlefield, rather than being captured by the revolutionary party and killing to save face, right?

"Your Majesty, the Chinese Emperor Zhu Jishi is the best example! His rule did not bring much benefit to the Chinese, but because of the victory in the war and the expansion of the country's territory, he became a generation of Tianjiao in the eyes of the Chinese, and his rule was extremely stable. ”

Bismarck then began to cheer up his king again, and set an example of Emperor Zhu, an international warmonger who had brought great suffering to the people of Asia and the world.

William I nodded, convinced. "Otto, you're right, we Prussians have always worshipped heroes, and as kings, we can either become successful heroes and enjoy the admiration of all. Or go and be a martyr and let future generations remember! But...... We can't just take the army to death, right? Are you really sure about war? ”

Bismarck nodded heavily, "Yes, my majesty." Austria's army, which had been devastated since the last war with Russia, could not be our opponent. Although the French army was strong, Napoleon III had already sent his best troops to the Americas. According to reliable information, by April 1862, more than 150,000 French troops had gone to the Americas. Among them are 30,000 experienced officers and non-commissioned officers. Now on the North American battlefield, the American League and the Mexican army rely on French officers and non-commissioned officers for command. Therefore, the French army remaining in the country is not as strong as expected, and if they insist on stopping us, we are 70% sure that we will defeat them in defense! Moreover, both the Russian Empire and the British Empire are on our side! (To be continued......)
