Chapter 1197: The Yingpu Conspiracy

Albrech. Feng. Ron's meeting with Count Granville didn't last long, and soon, he gave Count Granville a break. He, on the other hand, immediately ordered the staff of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on the train to send a telegram to Berlin. The contents of the telegram were the conditions put forward by the Earl of Granville. Albrech. Feng. Ron knew that the British put forward these conditions were urgently needed by the Kingdom of Prussia.

While the train was still on its way to Berlin, the Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Prussia, Otto. Feng. Bismarck had already received the telegram. He immediately went to the palace and informed King William I of the conditions proposed by the British side.

"The British are so good, they saw what we wanted at once! The conditions they put forward are very important to us, and we have to accept them! William I sighed. In the future world, it is inevitable that the Kingdom of Prussia will compete with the Chinese Empire for hegemony. If the British were able to deplete the strength of the Chinese Empire, this would relieve the pressure on the Kingdom of Prussia in the future. And the British helped the Kingdom of Prussia to build a strong navy, which was even more desirable for the Kingdom of Prussia. Otherwise, there would not be ten or twenty years, and the navy of the Kingdom of Prussia would not want to challenge the Chinese Empire.

"Your Excellency, what do you think of the conditions put forward by the British?" William I asked.

"Your Majesty, the British intend to use our strength to strike at the Chinese Empire, and to take the opportunity to achieve the unification and revival of Britain. Of course, even though we knew it was a ploy by the British, we had no way to refuse. Unless we can give up the struggle for hegemony with the Chinese Empire! "Otto. Feng. Bismarck said. The Kingdom of Prussia has managed to come to this point and has become the hegemon of Europe. As long as you can defeat the Chinese Empire, you can become the hegemon of the world. In such a situation. Not even God could stop the Kingdom of Prussia.

The Kingdom of Prussia had great industrial and scientific prowess, even compared to the Chinese Empire. It is only a gap in the total amount of industry. However, the gap is not huge. It's not to the point where you can't catch up. If it is grasped well, the Kingdom of Prussia may also have the possibility of victory. Therefore, the Kingdom of Prussia will not let go of this God-given opportunity.

"Yes, we could not refuse the British, they gave a great temptation, even though we knew it was a poisonous cake, but we had to swallow it. Only then will we have a chance! William I said. He knew, if he had received help from the British. Then there would be no retreat for the Kingdom of Prussia. Unless you can win and become the overlord of the world. Otherwise, the fate of the Kingdom of Prussia would have been equally miserable. Of course, this also gave the Kingdom of Prussia a chance. In general, the Kingdom of Prussia still earned. The help of the British, for them, undoubtedly made up for the shortcomings of the Kingdom of Prussia, so that they had a stronger strength to compete with the Chinese Empire.

"陛xià. We can only say yes to the British. If the Kingdom of Prussia can really defeat the Chinese Empire and gain world hegemony in the future, it is not impossible to help Britain recover. After all. A second-rate power cannot confront the Kingdom of Prussia, which has become the hegemon of the world! "Otto. Feng. Prime Minister Bismarck said.

"Hmmm! I authorize you to negotiate with the British. Fight for the benefit of the Kingdom of Prussia as much as possible! William I said. There was already a hint of longing in his eyes. The army power of the Kingdom of Prussia. No worse than the Chinese Army. Once the Kingdom of Prussia had a strong navy, then. The military strength of the Kingdom of Prussia will not be worse than that of China. In this way, the Kingdom of Prussia may really have a chance to defeat the Chinese Empire and become the hegemon of the world in the future. This was something that Wilhelm I had never hoped for, and in the first half of his life, he was only working for the unification of the German Empire. But now, this goal has been easily achieved. Moreover, the Kingdom of Prussia will also have the opportunity to become world supremacy.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Otto. Feng. Prime Minister Bismarck nodded. He was also interested in negotiating with the British, and perhaps this would be a good opportunity to change the balance of power between the Kingdom of Prussia and the Chinese Empire.

Although, the conditions given by the British are very generous. However, the Kingdom of Prussia needed more.

When the Count of Granville arrived in Berlin, Otto. Feng. Prime Minister Bismarck personally greeted him at the station, which shows how much importance the Kingdom of Prussia attached to the secret visit of the Count of Granville. Of course, in order to avoid being informed by the all-pervasive military intelligence of the Chinese Empire, martial law was put on hold at the railway station. Otto. Feng. Prime Minister Bismarck also entered the train through a secret passage. After receiving the Count of Granville, he also left through a secret passage. With the exception of a very small number of people, no one else knew that the British Foreign Secretary, the Earl of Granville, had arrived in Berlin.

The Earl of Granville saw Otto on the platform. Feng. Prime Minister Bismarck, a smile immediately appeared on his face. He knew that the conditions proposed by England, the Kingdom of Prussia had accepted, at least in general. In this case, there should be no problem in this negotiation. Of course, soon Britain will suffer from the darkest times in history. But in the same way, Britain has planted seeds of hope.

They did not exchange pleasantries at the railway station, and soon got into the carriage and headed for the Chancellery of the Kingdom of Prussia. After a simple dinner at the Prime Minister's House, Otto. Feng. Bismarck and Albrech. Feng. The negotiations between Ron on behalf of the Kingdom of Prussia and the Earl of Granville on behalf of Great Britain began in earnest.

"Your Excellency, we already know the conditions that your country has proposed. I have to say that the conditions proposed by your country are very tempting, but in fact, they also contain a lot of risks. Once the Kingdom of Prussia embarked on this path, it would mean that there would be no peaceful coexistence between us and the Chinese Empire. If it fails, the Kingdom of Prussia will be shattered! "Otto. Feng. Prime Minister Bismarck said.

"Your Excellency, is there a way out for the present Kingdom of Prussia? Even if the Kingdom of Prussia did not want to confront the Chinese Empire. But would the Chinese Empire think so? They already regarded the Kingdom of Prussia as an enemy and began to suppress it everywhere. The exclusion of the Kingdom of Prussia from the coalition is the best proof of this. If the Kingdom of Prussia does not rise up and fight back, then what awaits the Kingdom of Prussia will also be gradually extinguished. The Chinese Empire would not allow the Kingdom of Prussia to have the strength to challenge their world hegemony. Unless the Kingdom of Prussia surrenders with its hands raised, disarm as soon as possible. Otherwise, the confrontation between the two countries is already inevitable. While this does involve great risks, it also has great opportunities. If successful, the Kingdom of Prussia will become the new world hegemon. The Earl of Granville continued.

Otto. Feng. Prime Minister Bismarck nodded, agreeing with the words of the Earl of Granville. Risks and opportunities coexist, and often the greater the risk, the greater the opportunity. If it fails, the Kingdom of Prussia will be shattered. But if it succeeds, the Kingdom of Prussia will also become the hegemon of the world, which is undoubtedly a huge temptation for the Kingdom of Prussia, a temptation that cannot be resisted.

"Your Excellency, how many casualties can the British Army inflict on the Chinese in this war?" I can remind you that the combat effectiveness of the Chinese Army may be even stronger than you think. The firepower of the Chinese Army is very terrifying, even the Prussian Army cannot compare with them. "Otto. Feng. Prime Minister Bismarck continued.

"Your Excellency the Prime Minister, we know that. However, in order to defend our country, the British Army will do everything in its might. Even if the enemy is strong, we will not give in! Even if the British Empire is doomed to failure, we will make the Chinese pay an unimaginable price! Count Glanville said firmly.

"We have admiration for the courage of the United Kingdom." Otto. Feng. Bismarck said. He wished that the more fierce the battle between the British and the Chinese Army, the better, and that it would be better to lose both. However, in his opinion, it is almost impossible for the British to do this.

"Your Excellency, I think that before the Chinese attack begins, Britain can transport some naval experts and technical materials to the Kingdom of Prussia to avoid the loss of these experts and technical materials in the war. After all, the Chinese will definitely try to weaken Britain in every possible way! "Otto. Feng. Prime Minister Bismarck said.

The Earl of Granville hesitated, but nodded: "There is no problem with this, as long as we can sign a secret treaty, the British naval personnel and technical materials will begin to be transferred to the Kingdom of Prussia." However, due to the blockade of us by the Chinese, the ships transporting these talents and materials can only be provided by the Kingdom of Prussia! ”

"Of course, that's no problem!" Otto. Feng. Prime Minister Bismarck nodded.

"Your Excellency, if you want to develop a navy, you need a lot of money. The Kingdom of Prussia simply does not have enough funds to develop its navy now, and in terms of funds, can Britain provide a little support to the Kingdom of Prussia? When we defeat the Chinese Empire, the Kingdom of Prussia will definitely pay back to Britain! "Albrech, Foreign Minister of the Kingdom of Prussia. Feng. Ron said.

The navy is extremely money-burning. Every battleship is piled up with money, especially those advanced battleships, which need to consume a lot of money, and with the strength of the Kingdom of Prussia, it is indeed difficult to bear. It would be great if you could get some money from the British. (To be continued......)
