"She's a sensible little guy and she never asks for anything that's not safe for her. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info," Chen Wei said.

He then went to her small living room with Clara and said goodbye. Clara sat on his lap, two small hands tugging at the lapels of his coat and staring at his face for a long time.

"Are you imprinting me in your heart, little Clara?" He said, stroking her hair.

"No," she replied, "I have you in my heart." You are in my heart. Father and daughter hugged and kissed each other, as if they would never let go of each other.

Clara was sitting on the floor of her living room as the taxi drove away from the doorway, her chin on her cheeks, her eyes following the carriage until it turned around the corner of the yard. Erica sat beside her, watching the carriage depart.

They stared at the corner where the carriage had disappeared, and Chen Wei in the carriage kept looking back, waving and kissing his hand.

At this time, Chen Wei's heart was full of apologies for this illegitimate daughter, but he would not have thought that one day in the future, there would be a "great Spanish dictator" who would fall in love with his daughter desperately and madly, and thus change history.

Just Chen Wei - James? Old? When Rothechild left Gibraltar, Alfonso, the head of the French Rothchild family? Morality? Count Rothchild is entertaining Lin Yat-ching at the Cameron estate on the outskirts of Chalon, a key French military location.

"The manor originally belonged to a Rothschild, but after the war reached Charlon, the owner of the manor fled with his family, and it was immediately requisitioned by the French army as the headquarters of a general, who was also of noble birth and liked the manor very much. In order not to offend the original owner of the estate, he specifically ordered that the estates should not be requisitioned, and that the hunting grounds and wine cellars should not be disturbed. He also took good care of the items he used and left a written statement to ensure that nothing was lost in the estate after he left. But when the Prussian army arrived, the manor was sacked, the defenders were disarmed and arrested, the wine cellars were looted, the blankets and quilts in many rooms were requisitioned to the nearby field hospital, there were no more cattle in the pastures, no coal, no firewood for fires, and all the wild animals in the outer hunting grounds were hunted by Prussians and poachers. Later, with the arrival of a large number of Prussian officials, the original appearance of the estate began to be restored little by little. Alfonso smiled and told Lin Yiqing about the interesting history of the estate.

Because the place of negotiations for the end of the Franco-Prussian War was on this estate.

"There was not a single sign of damage, not a house, not a garden, not a tree." Alfonso smiled and said, "You know, the owner of the manor came back to check on the news and was pleasantly surprised to find that there were as many pheasants in the garden as there had been before - there were more quails than before, and all the birds were there - nothing was damaged in the garden, and I heard that King Wilhelm's order was carried out - and they even sent back all the wagons they had taken away, and of course they drank all the wine from the cellar and took away some valuable things, for example, 250 sheep were taken away, which was said to have been asked by Chancellor Bismarck. Of course, some of the damage is still visible. But if you think about how many Prussian troops once fought here...... I think it's already very good, and I should thank God for being so lucky that His Majesty kept it here, the war didn't damage much, the socialists didn't get anything, no one was hurt on the estate, they were so lucky, they should thank God......"

"There were a lot of big names here that day, didn't they?" Lin Yiqing asked with a smile.

"Yes, a lot of important people are here." Alfonso nodded, "On the day of the formal negotiations, the French side attended the negotiations, Prime Minister Thiers and Foreign Minister Julis? Fawu, I am an adviser to His Excellency the Prime Minister. On the German side, Chancellor and Foreign Minister Bismarck and Military Minister Ronn are the chances of the German side, as well as financial adviser Henkel? Feng? Donasmarc. ”

"Before the negotiations began, our honorable Emperor Napoleon III, in order to thank the French House of Rothhild for their contribution during the war, and to overpower the House of Frankfurt, gave me the title of Count."

"Oh? So that's the case? ”

"You may not know that, unlike our father James, my brothers and children and I were French citizens through and through, and we showed patriotic fervor in this war, as many French people do. When the war was about to break out, I subscribed for a one-time war bond of 50 million francs, and many of my children and nephews joined the army, held positions in the army, and fought under His Majesty the Emperor. ”

"I understand, and His Majesty the Emperor Napoleon III has given you the title of Count with great gratitude. And having you participate in the negotiation also means to enhance the status of the Rothchild family. ”

"yes, in contrast, Meyer Karl in Frankfurt? Feng? Baron Rothchild did not appear at the negotiating session. ”

"Hehe, I think he understands what that means."

"Before the negotiations began, I had foreseen that Bismarck might make a request for reparations, for I had received information from the members of the family, and as early as October 25, 9070, Antony conveyed to me the atmosphere of the Frankfurt Bourse, and that Meyercar had said privately to some people: 'I dare say that France is about to lose its old Germanic provinces, most of its northern lands, and in addition to this, must pay a large sum of money - this is the unanimous idea.' He also declared: 'The great victory of the Prussian army shows that we can demand all that we wish for. You simply can't imagine what kind of enthusiasm is brewing here and in Germany as a whole, and the shame that the French will face must be punitive, and only then will it be possible to satisfy the demands of public opinion. Now everything is going up, domestic loans have a 7% premium, and it will undoubtedly be higher, because the French have to pay for everything. He also made some vague predictions: 'The Prussian government will seriously consider the conditions proposed in order to ensure a long-term peace.' …… The disgrace of the French is the only way to keep us from suffering from more wars, and I do not doubt that France must give up Alsace and Lorraine and at least 100,000,000,000 standard silver coins as war contributions, and Strasbourg and Metz must become fortresses of the Confederation, this is the opinion of the people, and His Excellency the Prime Minister will certainly make full use of it. Meyerkar even justified the annexation of Alsace-Lorraine by Prussia in terms of nationalism and strategic position: 'There is a foolish idea that the German nation will give up the struggle and only watch the old Germanic provinces that have been forcibly occupied in the past instead of taking ......them back.'"

"It's wishful thinking, hehe."

"His Majesty the Emperor Napoleon III was furious when he heard the news, and immediately said: 'Any attempt to dismember French territory will be met with sworn resistance. …… Even if the country allows itself to sink to pieces, it will not budge on the territorial issue. The Prussians don't even think of an inch of land, not a single copper! Chancellor Thiers also said that the Prussian idea was simply unacceptable: 'If we are defeated, perhaps it will be necessary to follow the rules of defeat to a certain extent, but we have not lost now.' …… A peace agreement involving the cession of territory is simply unacceptable. ’”

"In this way, from the beginning of the negotiations, it seems that it is not destined to go well."

"That's right. After the negotiations began, the obedient Bismarck directly demanded to the French side the amount of reparations for the cession of Alsace, Lorraine, Metz and Strasbourg and 6 billion francs, which made our Prime Minister Thiers jump out of his chair 'like a mad dog', and the Prime Minister Thiers declared that Bismarck's conditions were "an insult to the French nation", and Bismarck then reduced the amount to 5 billion francs, but the Prime Minister Thiers still said that it was 'unacceptable'. Bismarck was furious, and he told Thiers, 'We don't lack money, we have money, we can't run out of money, what we really want is land.' If this demand is not met, then the whole of France will be in flames, and all French cities will be reduced to rubble. Thiers immediately left the table in protest, and the members of the French delegation left with him, and the first day of negotiations ended. ”

"Haha! It's just ridiculous! ”

"Yes! The next day, the negotiations continued, and Bismarck said: 'The question of money can be discussed later, and we want to decide first the question of the border between the two countries.' Chancellor Thiers then proposed a plan from the French side, that is, the Prussian troops who had landed in France withdraw from France, the French troops who landed at Kiel would be withdrawn from the country, the border between the two sides would be restored to the state it had been before the war, and Prussia would promise not to accept any more demands on the question of the succession to the Spanish throne. When Bismarck learned of the French proposal, he flew into a rage, declaring that it was not at all acceptable, and he even made an even rude demand, 'Order France to pay Prussia 5,000,000 francs in advance as a ransom for Metz and Strasbourg, otherwise I cannot guarantee the safety of these two cities.' At the same time, he hinted to me, 'A sniper Rothchild has been captured by the Prussian army.' 'If France does not consider paying reparations,' his life will be difficult to guarantee.' 'Bismarck Hitu I, the son of a Jew in Frankfurt, could be frightened and induce Prime Minister Thiers and His Excellency France to give in. To his disappointment, I persuaded the 'enraged' Prime Minister Thiers and His Excellency Fawu not to 'break the negotiations and make the decision to join the army to fight under the Emperor', and at the same time to Bismarck's request for an immediate payment of 5 million francs 'half in gold and half in bills', and directly replied that 'there was no time to discuss these technical questions, since the French delegation did not agree to even the most basic principles of the peace talks.'" You can think about what Bismarck was like at that time. ”

"His face must be very good-looking."

With a calm face and an angry face, he asked me if I had considered the compensation payment plan he proposed, as if the amount of the compensation had already been set. I replied unequivocally that it was not possible for me to consider those questions, because the two Governments had not yet agreed on the basic principles, and I felt as if Bismarck was going to devour me alive, and he exclaimed: 'In that case, peace is impossible!' 'This time the negotiations were inconclusive, and I went back to discuss the next steps with Prime Minister Thiers and His Excellency Franco-Vu, and we both agreed that neither the cession of territory nor the payment of reparations was acceptable. The Prussians had to withdraw from the territory of France. If they insist on the war, we will have to stay with them to the end. At the beginning of the third negotiations, Bismarck made a new proposal, this time no longer insisting on the cession of Alsace and Lorraine, but only the occupation of Metz and Strasbourg, and the amount of the indemnity was reduced to 2.5 billion gold francs, with a payment of 1 billion in the first year and the remaining three years. He put on a particularly down-to-earth appearance, telling us that they were mobilizing the whole country, and that if we did not agree to his terms, the Prussian army would launch the fiercest offensive ever built, and that it would be unprecedented. It's hard to imagine a prime minister saying such a thing. Even Donasmarck admitted that he himself was frightened by Bismarck's 'unreasonableness and international rudeness'. He asked me privately, 'Has anyone ever said such a thing to a Rothchild in this way before?' I told him, 'Never.' ’”

"In a way, Bismarck's intimidation did not have the slightest effect, but instead left Prussia with the image of a greedy and savage predator internationally."

"Yes. As the negotiations failed to produce any results and no agreement was reached at the time of the talks, the fighting continued while the negotiations were still ongoing. His Majesty Emperor Napoleon III was enraged by the exorbitant price offered by the Prussians in the negotiations, and was determined to teach the Prussians a lesson and 'bring them back to the negotiating table with a stick'. In view of the fact that the lines of both sides of the Chalond front had been fixed, and that many previous counter-attacks had suffered heavy casualties and were futile, His Majesty decided to start with the port of Kiel, and he ordered the continuation of the reinforcement of troops to the port of Kiel, and authorized General Guba's to launch a new offensive and begin to extend the results of the battle. He sent a telegram to General Guba: 'The whole army of France is your back, if you need it.' ’”

General Guba went on to conquer Hamburg. Now Bismarck was dumbfounded. ”

"Yes, haha! I remember that when Bismarck walked into the negotiating meeting that day, the French delegation had already arrived. Compared with the French delegates in tuxedos who sat there like statues, Bismarck, who wore a military uniform and a medal, and the military minister Longne looked more majestic. Bismarck glanced around the room and sat down in his place. He was about to speak, but suddenly realized that the atmosphere today was a little strange. Because he found that all the French looked at his eyes, a little cold, with a hint of faint chill. He saw that the furnishings of the venue were still the same, there was no change in the slightest, the members of the French delegation involved in the negotiations had not changed, the sun was shining outside the window, it was the time of spring, everything looked so beautiful, but I knew that Bismarck did feel a cold and cold atmosphere. ”

"He's empty-hearted."

"Yes, but he tried to suppress his uneasiness, to take the lead as usual, and he said mockingly, 'Gentlemen, I feel that we are wasting our time. I don't know what you think, do you have to wait until France has shed all the blood before you are willing to give in? Prime Minister Thiers smiled and replied in the same tone: 'We are wondering if we should change the venue of the negotiations.' ''Change of negotiation venue?'' Where do you want to negotiate? Paris? Or Versailles? Bismarck burst out laughing, as if he hadn't heard a joke in years. ”

"'Not Paris, not Versailles.' Chancellor Thiers looked at Bismarck coldly and said, 'It's Berlin.' Bismarck laughed even harder at Chancellor Thiers' words, 'I don't know where your self-confidence comes from, hehe, maybe you should get a doctor to check your health!' Bismarck stopped laughing abruptly, and stared at Prime Minister Thiers with a compelling gaze, "Your Excellency, from the day I met you, I have always had the feeling that you are not fit to be the prime minister of a country, and that perhaps the work of a circus clown is more suitable for you." ’”

"Hearing Bismarck utter such words that bordered on insult and invective, Chancellor Thiers was not even angry at all, he only smiled slightly, but met Bismarck's gaze without fear." I don't know how you came to such a conclusion, and where is your basis. Prime Minister Thiers smiled and leaned forward, 'but my words are well-founded. ’”

"'This is the battle report sent by General Guba to our esteemed Emperor Majesty.' Prime Minister Thiers waved his hand, and one of the secretaries took a document and handed it to him, and without looking at it, he pushed it in front of Bismarck, 'Our valiant French army has taken Hamburg, and the gates of Berlin have been opened, Your Excellency the Marquis. I'm sure you've already gotten a report with similar content, right? ’”

Bismarck glanced coldly at Prime Minister Thiers, took the document and flipped through it casually, then closed it and stopped reading it. At this time, his face was still cold, but I had been staring at him and noticed that Bismarck's hand trembled unconsciously when he closed the file. (To be continued.) )
