The first update

In Ron's view, Bismarck had been. lā

He gambled entirely on this invasion of France, a war that could have cost him his political career. And once they lose, the French will definitely not miss a great opportunity to deal with them.

After withdrawing from Bismarck's office, he thought for a moment and felt that things could not be left unchecked, and he was ready to go to King Wilhelm and persuade him to withdraw from the war provoked by the Berlin side.

Ron went to King William's bedchamber, only to be told that King William was receiving the new British ambassador at this time. Then he waited in the garden for a moment.

"Britain's new ambassador? Choose this time to visit the king? ”

Ron was very surprised that the British diplomatic ambassador was also meeting King William in private, and he had to show a tough attitude, asking the king's butler to temporarily interrupt King William's reception, and give him some time to come to the garden, some things can only be said in private.

In desperation, the butler agreed to his request and went to King William's conference room.

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty."

The butler interrupted the exchange between King William and Ambassador Charles, and whispered, "Minister Ron asked to see him, and he said that he wanted to inform you about something, and that it would not take up too much of your time. ”

King William glanced at the guests beside him, but the other party did not show any displeasure, he nodded, and said, "No need, let him come in directly, it's okay." ”

Ron was invited into King William's office room, at this time Charles was sitting by the window, when he saw the Minister of War Ron, nodded to him slightly, and said politely, "Hello, Lord Ron." ”

Ron wasn't in much of a mood to greet him.

"This meeting doesn't make sense, Ambassador Charlie."

Ron looked at the diplomatic ambassador in front of him and said bluntly, "According to the practice of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, you should meet with Chancellor Bismarck, not King William." ”

Charlie did not show much surprise at the uninvited guest who broke into this meeting, but replied very calmly, "You know, in some secret cases, this kind of Foreign Office practice is not valid. And King Wilhelm, as the head of Germany, had nothing to blame for the meeting I requested. ”

Charlie's answer was not leaky, just like an English gentleman, revealing calmness and calmness between the words.

Ron said helplessly, "Presumably the reason you came here today is the same as the reason I asked to meet with His Majesty King William, right?" All to convince the king to end this war? ”

Ambassador Charlie was slightly stunned, and then asked, "Why do you ask that?" ”

"Because the outbreak of war between France and Germany is not in your political interests. So you're going to block it, that's normal. ”

Ron said lightly, "I would do the same if I did." ”

Ambassador Charlie leaned back on the sofa and said calmly with a smile, "What if I said that I ended the war with King William because you fell into that Napoleon's trap?" ”

"Trap?"

Ron frowned, he stepped forward to the British ambassador and asked, "Why do you say that?" ”

"Don't you think it's weird? Since the outbreak of the political crisis, Paris has been showing weakness. Isn't it unreasonable that Russia has never spoken out even when it betrayed their allies? And since the outbreak of the war, Berlin has not taken advantage, but has been suppressed by France everywhere. We might as well make a bold guess that in fact the French have been secretly building up momentum for a long time, but they have been showing weakness on the surface. Let Bismarck think that Berlin still has an opportunity to take advantage of the Alsace region by means of war. The war between Russia and Turkey gave them courage, coupled with the instigation of Alexander II, so Paris is now fully able to stand on the moral high ground and gain the support of other countries, plus Napoleon has long wanted to take revenge on Germany and regain the status of the lost military empire in the past, so even if Paris does not win this war, you will not be able to bargain at all! ”

Ron was stunned for a moment, and the British ambassador connected all the doubts in his heart in a few words. However, he did not listen to the words of the British family, and said hesitantly, "However, it is all your family's words, and what can prove that your opinion is correct." ”

"The Russian Legion stationed in Germany and the French Foreign Legion stationed in Malaysia."

Ambassador Charlie threw out the most crucial point, "These two without exception have found a bunch of reasons, and then choose to stand by and watch, it is too much of a coincidence, as if both sides have agreed on it." Even if Russia declares that it will attack France together with Germany, you can see when they actually helped their allies. ”

"This ......"

After Charlie mentioned this, Ron was also aware of the problem.

"Anyway, I'm here today mainly to report to King William. I had consulted with Bismarck through official channels before, but he didn't listen at all. In desperation, we had no choice but to inform His Majesty of the situation of the situation. Hopefully it will make an impact. ”

"But why are you telling us? Wouldn't it be better if Britain chose to sit on the sidelines? ”

King William finally spoke, and he raised his own question, Charles's intervention in continental affairs was clearly not in the interests of Great Britain.

"It's simple."

Ambassador Charles was very frank in acknowledging London's purpose, "because it is not in our political interest to make France strong again, we do not want to see a France that succeeds in revenge, and it is best if the situation on the continent remains as it is as it is." And you don't want to be suppressed by Paris again, do you? ”

King William nodded thoughtfully, while Chancellor Ron was silent.

Seeing that his political goals had been achieved, Charlie was also ready to get up and leave. Before leaving, he finally said to the two, "I want to say more, Bismarck's wariness of France, and his desire to acquire Alsace, are likely to ruin the diplomatic achievements of Germany for many years." King William should ...... if necessary"

"You're overthinking."

Ron immediately stopped the other party from sowing discord, "Bismarck is a great chancellor, and without him, we simply cannot build a German empire." And this is an internal private matter of Berlin, and the ambassadors of other countries should not interfere, please come back! ”

Charlie took off his hat to apologize, said sorry, and left with a smile on his face.

For he clearly saw the hesitation and hesitation on King William's face.
