Chapter 204: The Broken Three Emperors Alliance

The first update

The sudden rebuke overwhelmed everyone, and they looked at Napoleon in astonishment, like an incomprehensible madman.

Crazy, really crazy. Looking at Napoleon's posture, it is clear that he wanted to conclude a military alliance with him, did France want to go to war directly with Germany and Austria-Hungary for the sake of the unrelated Balkans?

When everyone thought that the French president was crazy, only Napoleon knew best in his heart that it was a war of words at the negotiating table. Despite the heated rhetoric of both sides and the threat of war, in the end, whoever gave in first would lose.

Napoleon's attitude at the negotiating table can be described as Oscar owing him a trophy.

"Yes, it is true that the Russian Empire could not withstand the simultaneous attacks of Germany and Austria-Hungary, but do not forget the presence of France. If you want to provoke a conflict in the Balkans, France will not allow it. ”

After speaking, Napoleon also glanced at Gochakov and nodded solemnly.

"So Paris is not here to negotiate, but to announce here, if Austria-Hungary wants to take Bosnia and Bulgaria, I'm sorry, then France and Russia will form an alliance to deal with your attack, anyway, France has already fought with Germany, but I don't know if Austria-Hungary has a chance to fight France!"

"You!"

Count Andrassy stood up angrily, looked at Napoleon with a defiant face, and retorted, "Aren't you afraid of the hundreds of thousands of Austro-Hungarian troops?" ”

"A backward, decaying feudal empire is showing off its might in front of France? Don't you know what France is all about? It is no wonder that the impression of other countries on us is still stuck in seven years ago, in fact, since the end of the Franco-Prussian War, we have begun a new arms reform and army building, and the French army has long been the army of seven years ago. Austria-Hungary wants to fight, and we will accompany us to the end. ”

A sentence of dedication to the end, first suppressed Count Andrassie. At first, he just wanted to scare Russia and force the other side to spit out the swallowed Balkan Peninsula, but now it's good, France is actually determined to let Austria-Hungary have no good life.

Napoleon's sowing discord was very successful, and his words deepened the contradictions and conflicts between the two countries, Count Andrach did not allow an inch of land to expand his interests in the Balkans, and Gochakov, at the instigation of Napoleon, also desperately kept the fruits of his victory, and absolutely did not let anyone take it away.

At the moment, there is tension at the negotiating table, and the negotiations may end at any time without a word.

"Okay, don't make any noise. Listen to my advice. ”

Bismarck, who had come to be a political broker, not to dance the war, stood between Count AndrΓ‘ch and Napoleon and made a compromise proposal.

"If we continue to quarrel like this, there will be no end, it is better for us all to take a step back, we can recognize the Great Bulgarian Agreement, but Bosnia must be handed over to Austria-Hungary. What do you think of this agreement? Prime Minister Gochakov. ”

Bismarck did not ask Napoleon because he knew that the other party would continue to sow discord, so he deliberately skipped him. As long as it succeeds in convincing Russia, it will be useless for France to jump up and down.

Bismarck came to be a political broker, and it is not known whether Napoleon wanted to provoke a war or to act as a political broker in the same way.

However, the most devastating scene of the German Prime Minister appeared, Gochakov actually discussed with Napoleon whether to agree to their request, watching the two talk to each other, the crazy Bismarck almost wanted to grab the other party's collar, shook the head of the Prime Minister Gochakov, and said seriously, "You are the protagonist of this negotiation, okay?" ”

Napoleon looked at him with a solemn expression, and those piercing eyes seemed to see through all the small movements behind him, in fact, Austria-Hungary had already made great concessions, and if it weren't for the French madman who had been brutally involved, they would have now snatched the Balkans from Russia.

Only Napoleon knew that the Berlin Treaty would affect the stability of Europe for decades to come, with the historical King Joseph paying the price for his greed and Archduke Ferdinand dying tragically at the hands of nationalist Serbs to pay off his uncle's greed.

Just when Bismarck desperately thought that the negotiations had failed, Gochakov, who had finished the negotiations, nodded very unexpectedly and said, "Bosnia can be ceded to Austria-Hungary, but Bulgaria and other occupied territories must be guarded by the Russians." ”

Bismarck finally breathed a sigh of relief, and it seems that not all Russians are unreasonable. Although the French went even further, and it also made Bismarck jealous of Napoleon.

This person is simply the nemesis of the German nation, and if you look at Count AndrΓ‘ch next to him, he has completely lost his original righteousness.

Wait a minute.

Bismarck patted his head, he always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say it.

The crystal chandeliers of the Winter Palace are dazzling and dazzling, and the eyes of those who are shaking are uncomfortable.

When he lowered his head again and saw Gochakov's malicious eyes, and was very close to Napoleon, it dawned on him.

"Is this the trap of the French? How can it be? It's simply not possible! ”

Hearing Bismarck beside him muttering to himself, Count AndrΓ‘ch turned his head, frowned and asked, "What happened?" Prime Minister Bismarck? ”

He clenched his fists and gritted his teeth and said, "Damn, I was fooled, so this is your real purpose?" Napoleon! ”

When Bismarck found out, it became clear that they had lost an ally. Russia has broken with Berlin because of the conflict over the Balkan issue!

"Yes, he wanted to magnify the problems of the Balkans, and deliberately provoke Austria-Hungary and Russia to turn against each other, so that the contradictions that I had tried to ease would explode in an instant. I had always thought about Vienna's feelings, and I subconsciously regarded St. Petersburg as an enemy, which is ridiculous! ”

Bismarck suddenly felt like a man on his back, could it be that from the very beginning of the war, Napoleon had expected this step?

Who the hell is he!

Everyone was talking and laughing to celebrate the end of the negotiations, and Bismarck was the only one who slammed his fist on the oak table.

The movement attracted the attention of the others around him.

At this time, Bismarck no longer cared, he stood up in despair, and walked towards Napoleon, who was talking and laughing across the table. Prime Minister Gochakov looked at Bismarck who was approaching, suddenly realized that something was wrong, and subconsciously stopped in front of him.

"Chancellor Bismarck, what are you going to do?"

Prime Minister Gochakov said in an aggravated tone, "This negotiation has ended, do you want to go back?" ”

"No, I'll never go back, I just have a few words I want to ask."

Bismarck walked up to Napoleon, and for the first time his eyes were replaced by fear. From the Franco-Prussian War of 1870 to the current negotiations in St. Petersburg, Germany has always followed in the footsteps of the French, and no matter what they do, the other side will calculate their next step.

He said self-deprecatingly, "To be honest, I really didn't expect that the situation I had worked so hard to create would be resolved by you in a few words. ”

"It's just a small measure."

Napoleon shrugged his shoulders and said with a nonchalant expression, "You thought that the Three Emperors Alliance would be able to lock France up, but you didn't see their vulnerability. As long as France starts from the Russian side, you are bound to be on the side of Austria-Hungary. Then France will naturally be on the side of the Russians. Who told you to maintain a suspicious attitude towards the Slavic peoples. ”

Napoleon's tone showed that everything Bismarck did could not escape his eyes.

"Who the hell are you?"

Bismarck gritted his teeth and said, "I don't believe you are Napoleon!" ”

Napoleon, on the other hand, was very calm, he crossed his feet and said in a calm tone, "I, I said I was Napoleon." ”

"But each of you doesn't believe that at least I'm going to do something worthy of the First Empire's monarch, like leading France to revival. As a militarily powerful continental power, will it be obediently at the mercy of others and in an isolated position? I'm not the stupid nephew Napoleon III. ”

Bismarck became more and more unable to see the man in front of him, and asked hesitantly, "What do you want to do?" ”

When Napoleon heard this, he leaned in front of Bismarck and whispered, "The first thing we have to do is to defeat the Germans." ”
