Chapter 207: Bismarck, the Iron and Blood Prime Minister

Bismarck looked carefully at the young man in front of him, and he really couldn't imagine that the man in front of him was the self-made head of a country, and only Napoleon could do it in Europe.

Li Yunzhong asked the translator, "Who is this?" Why are you so rude, come in and stare at me now, and don't even say a word! Is this still the habit of the Prussians? ”

Looking at Bismarck's movements, the interpreter was already sweating on his forehead, and when Li Yunzhong asked him this, he hurriedly said to Bismarck in German: "Lord Yang! Tell me something! The emperor is very angry, if he doesn't speak, you and I will have to move! ”

Bismarck smiled at this time, bowed to Li Yunzhong, and said: "Your Majesty the Emperor, I am the Prussian Minister to Han, and I have been authorized by His Majesty the King to manage the cooperation between your country and Prussia. ”

The interpreter breathed a sigh of relief and stood aside to fulfill his duties.

Li Yunzhong stared at Bismarck, and sure enough, there were some similarities with the photos in the history books of later generations, and he looked at Bismarck with interest, and he couldn't imagine that the famous iron-blooded prime minister would come to China.

The translator was dumbfounded, Bismarck stared at the emperor for a while, and now the emperor stared at Bismarck, could it be that the two of them were in a hurry? If the emperor executes Bismarck in a fit of rage, will it affect me?

Li Yunzhong retracted his gaze and asked, "Your Excellency is Bismarck?" I heard that you are very strategic, and I want to test you. ”

Bismarck was confused, he didn't understand why the emperor would be interested in him, could it be that his name had spread to the Far East? In order to show the demeanor of a diplomat, he bent down and said, "Your Majesty, please ask!" ”

In order to show respect for a generation of famous ministers, Li Yunzhong got up and pulled Bismarck down to sit down on the coffee table table. I poured a cup of tea for him and laughed: "This is the first time I have poured tea for someone else." The envoy can go back to Europe and brag about it! ”

Bismarck took the teacup with both hands and replied: "It is my pleasure! ”

Li Yunzhong said: "In your heart." Prussia unified Germany, what were the obstacles? ”

Bismarck did not expect that His Majesty the Emperor from afar would care about the situation in Europe, but these were what he was good at, and immediately replied: "The first obstacle is the Kingdom of Austria under the Austro-Hungarian Empire, which also belongs to the Germanic people, and they will not sit idly by and watch Prussia unify Germany." ”

Li Yunzhong nodded, he still wanted to know more about the situation in Europe from the side, and he didn't answer, and let Bismarck play.

Bismarck sat up straight. continued: "The second is France, France is a traditional army power, at a time when Britain pursued a policy of isolation, France was the first power in Europe, and the rise of Prussia would threaten his position, if France was not defeated, Prussia could not rise, and to defeat France, the current Prussia simply could not do it." ”

Li Yunzhong smiled. Bismarck, the future prime minister of the Kingdom of Prussia, held great power, and he said that if he fought France, he would definitely go to war with France. This is an opportunity for Dahan.

Bismarck saw that Li Yunzhong listened carefully, and said: "The third obstacle is the Kingdom of Denmark, which secretly controls the four principalities in the north of the Kingdom of Prussia. Prussia had to grab these four principalities for Germany to be complete. So there will be a war between the Kingdom of Prussia and the Kingdom of Denmark! ”

Li Yunzhong saw Bismarck pause and reminded: "Isn't the Russian Empire an obstacle to the Kingdom of Prussia?" You know, they are also quite interested in dominating Europe. ”

Li Yunzhong has already heard that Russia is in contact with Beijing. Sooner or later, this Han State will start a war with Russia, and if Prussia is in Europe to contain Russia, the Han State will definitely win!

Bismarck shook his head slowly, and said seriously: "The Kingdom of Prussia is still very weak, and if it wants to rise, it must unite more allies, and the Russian Empire is an object that can be fought for, and Prussia has no substantive conflict with Russia, compared to France, Austria, and Denmark, Russia is insignificant." ”

Li Yunzhong showed a look of disappointment, Austria, Denmark and Han could not fight together, France only had contradictions with China in Vietnam, with the national strength after reunification, Li Yunzhong was confident that the French would be driven away, and Prussia would not be able to do so.

Bismarck thought about it slightly, and understood what Li Yunzhong meant by asking about Russia, and asked cautiously: "Is there a contradiction between His Majesty the Emperor and the Russian Empire?" This is not good news. ”

Li Yunzhong did not intend to hide it, and told the truth about the facts: "The envoy is right, the Russian Empire has embezzled countless lands in northern China in the past hundred years, and the total area of these lands is the size of two Frances, and our Han Kingdom will definitely recover these lands." ”

Russia weakened, Bismarck was also pleased, and said: "I am afraid that Russia will refuse your demands, the greedy Yugoslavs are more passionate about the land than we can imagine." ”

Li Yunzhong raised his fist and said solemnly: "I have never thought of solving this problem in a peaceful way. ”

Bismarck's eyes flashed, and he hurriedly asked, "What method does His Majesty the Emperor plan to use?" ”

Li Yunzhong said meaningfully: "Iron and blood! Only iron and blood can teach them a lesson, and the Han can truly become stronger, and no longer have to fear Britain and France. ”

Iron and Blood! Bismarck heard these three words at first glance, like a lightning bolt in the dark sky, he understood what Prussia lacked, these decades, Prussia has never given up on the unification of Germany, every time it is just showing signs of being stopped by the European powers, Prussia under their threat, again and again retreated, and in the end nothing was achieved, Prussia is missing these two words, iron, blood! There must be no retreat on the road to reunification.

Bismarck got up, bowed to Li Yunzhong, and said, "Thank you for your reminder, Prussia will never give in again!" ”

Li Yunzhong simply betrayed his personal favor and promised Bismarck: "If your country intends to go to war with France, we China will definitely stand on the side of the Kingdom of Prussia, and I will attack the French army in the Far East, and I will never let them send a single soldier back to China to participate in the war." ”

Bismarck bowed again and thanked him: "Thank you for your generosity, Han will always be an ally of Prussia, and we look forward to this moment." ”

Li Yunzhong had already affirmed that this Bismarck was the future iron-blooded prime minister, so he got to the point and asked: "If I guess correctly, there must be a lot of machinery for your arrival this time." ”

Bismarck said: "I came to the Far East this time, His Majesty the King collected all the transport ships of the Navy, and brought the supplies over at one time, and the fleet is currently stopped outside the Yangtze River, and His Majesty the Emperor is asked to send someone to guide it." ”

Li Yunzhong was surprised and delighted, but he didn't expect that the Prussian king had a sick brain, but his courage was not small, and he immediately replied: "Rest assured, I have carved out vacant land in Anqing, Wuhu, and Nanchang, and the workers are already training, just waiting for the machinery to be in place, I think this batch of heavy industry will be officially produced in a year." ”

The Prussian king turned out to be mentally ill a few years later.

Bismarck finally smiled and replied: "Thank you, Your Majesty, the Kingdom of Prussia has temporarily pursued Taoguang and is unable to establish a military industry in the country, and you have really helped us a lot. ”

Li Yunzhong was full of interest, he had long coveted this batch of heavy industrial equipment, with them, the Han national defense construction could be completed ten years ahead of schedule, in the previous life, Japan took 30 years to complete the 150-year road of the Western powers, the Han can be faster, with his understanding of the distribution of minerals in China, ten years later the Han can compete with Britain in the South Seas, and the dream of the great powers is no longer empty talk.

Bismarck then took out a contract and explained: "This is the "Treaty of the Secret Alliance between Prussia and China" drawn up by His Majesty the King of our country. ”

Li Yunzhong took it and opened it, damn! It's all ghost drawings, and it's German! Pretending to look at it, he despised Bismarck in his heart, knowing that Lao Tzu didn't understand German, and he took it out, making it clear that Lao Tzu would suffer!

Li Yunzhong looked at it with relish, nodded at the same time, and after a while, closed the document and asked, "Does the Venerable Envoy know the content of this Dao?" ”

Bismarck said as a matter of course: "Of course! This contract is very important, and my task in the future is to monitor whether China is fulfilling the contract, and of course Your Majesty can also send someone to supervise the situation in the Kingdom of Prussia! ”

Li Yunzhong nodded again and said, "There are some things I don't quite understand about the tongue twisters mentioned above, so you can summarize them." (To be continued......)
