The telegram from Berlin could indeed be described as shocking, because it was a conspiracy that might affect the future course of the situation in France, and even Bismarck could not have imagined that the heir to the Bourbon monarchy, who had been banished from France, could have such a bold and crazy idea.

The Count of Chambord did spend a lot of effort in order to secretly contact Berlin, he bought Germany to be the British ambassador and counselor, and presented his secret letter to the German ambassador. After receiving this secret letter, the German ambassador naturally did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly sent it back to Berlin in the form of a telegram, and then forwarded it to Bismarck, who was also the chancellor and foreign minister in Berlin.

The last heir of the Bourbons hoped to cooperate with Prussia in launching a rebellion from within the city to cooperate with Bismarck's siege. When Bismarck stormed Paris, he dismissed and exiled the officials of the Provisional Government, suppressed popular uprisings, and propped up the French Empire, headed by the Comte de Chambord. And whatever Bismarck proposed, they were able to accept, no matter how harsh the conditions.

This was good news for Bismarck and Wilhelm I. The more chaotic the situation in Paris, the less all the forces could be twisted into a single rope, and the more favorable it was for Prussia. The more they were able to achieve Bismarck's goal of surrendering without a fight.

When King Wilhelm saw this telegram, he was overjoyed and said excitedly, "I really did not expect that the heir of Bourbon would take such a means in order to achieve his own end, and he would not be afraid of being overthrown by the people of Paris?" ”

"Why should the Count of Chambord be afraid? This is his last chance, and instead of being an exiled heir for the rest of his life, he should bet all his bets on this war, and I think the Count of Chambord is definitely not the only ally of the Bourbon royalists.

Bismarck sneered and said, "Count Chambord has no heirs, and even if he inherits the throne, he cannot pass it on to his descendants. If he wants to rise to the throne smoothly, he must win over the other faction, and who else is peeping into the dominance of Paris like him? Of course, it was Louis Orleans, the orthodox Count of Paris of the July Dynasty. In order to sweep away all opposition in Paris with the help of the Prussian army, the heir really took great pains. ”

King William asked, puzzled, "Is it a bad thing to work with him?" ”

"It is a good thing for us that he wants to cooperate with the Prussian army, as we have a force in the city of Paris that is united from inside and outside. However, we have not yet achieved our strategic goals, and we do not need to recognize the legitimacy of the current Provisional Government, and when the Siege of Paris is completed, we can justifiably negotiate with the Provisional Government and increase the price. Not only can we make him pay reparations, but we can also cede the land, and the generosity of the Bourbon heirs in betraying their own national interests makes Prussia feel that they are Germany's allies compared to the unclear Provisional Government. ”

Bismarck had already felt the scales of victory tipped in his favor, and after the war was over, people would remember Prussia's victory over France, the former king of Europe.

In order to show his sincerity, the Count of Chambord also provided Prussia with a great deal of information through his internal correspondence in Paris. These include the most intriguing event, the resurrection of Emperor Napoleon, and the series of measures he took next.

Bismarck felt that he had won the victory, and it didn't matter if he looked at it or not, and when the Krupp steel cannons of the Prussian army smashed the walls of Paris, the myths of invincibility and the reincarnation of the monarch of the First Empire would disappear. Only a faint imprint is imprinted in people's memory.

But with curiosity, Bismarck picked up a document, and as soon as his gaze swept two or three lines, his face became solemn, and he changed his previous hesitation and began to read it slowly.

Kaiser Wilhelm also realized that something was wrong with Bismarck, and also picked up one of the documents, and like him, the smile on the king's face slowly faded and was replaced by a serious look.

After they finished reading, both of them raised their heads at the same time.

"Chancellor Bismarck."

"Dear King William."

The two spoke at the same time, and each other was stunned for a moment. William I then smiled and said, "It's okay, you can say it first." ”

"Nothing, I just remembered some stories when I literally understood the means of this man."

"Story?"

William was also interested, and the two stood in front of the tent in the base camp and chatted with each other.

"During the reign of Louis XIII, there was a prime minister who was extremely powerful, and he was so powerful that even the king was overthrown by him, the queen mother was expelled by him, the queen was suppressed by him, the prince was exiled by him, the duke was executed by him, and the entire royal family and even the entire kingdom of France were breathless under his oppression. He was so harsh that he bordered on cruelty, he regarded strategy as a legitimate means of power, cruelty as a necessary quality for governing the country, and he always treated his enemies more cruelly than he did to them. The intelligence apparatus was set up, in addition to detecting the enemy, to arrest all the opponents of Paris, to throw them into the Bastille, and to bribe the literati to promote his rule, while such a dictatorial and evil man advocated democracy and tolerance in domestic affairs. Under his rule, Bourbon ushered in the era of a truly continental empire. ”

Bismarck sneered and continued, "Two hundred years ago, the man said that his first purpose was to make the king noble, that is, to flatten the nobility and strengthen the autocratic royal power, but his method is still carried out in Paris in an orderly manner, except that the king has been replaced by the president, the aristocracy has become royalists, and the myth of Napoleon's resurrection has been fabricated to stabilize people's hearts. We don't know who it is, but we must get rid of this man as soon as possible, because even if Prussia wins the war, it will lose at the hands of this man in the future! ”

Wilhelm I bowed his head and looked at the paper in his hand, everything Bismarck said was the policy that was now in progress in Paris.

William, the king of Prussia, gasped as he suddenly realized who Bismarck really was by "that man". A French monster that even the German Confederation would be afraid of.

In the time of Louis XIII, this man was a nightmare for Europe. His foreign policy tore Germany to shreds and dragged Spain into a catastrophe, allowing France to maintain its land superiority for nearly two hundred years.

Of course, the joy just now was gone at this moment, and looking at Bismarck's serious face, Wilhelm was silent.

If the information provided by the Count of Chambord is correct, the Prime Minister must use the hands of the royalists to make him disappear completely.

King Wilhelm did not notice that the hands of the Prussian prime minister were trembling slightly. This mastermind, whom he had never met, was like a seed rooted in the hearts of the Prussian leadership.

Finally felt the voice of Bismarck, the opponent of chess, tremble, and said, "Judging from his internal affairs methods, it is the monarch Napoleon who is reborn in Paris, and it is clearly the sworn enemy of Germany, Chancellor Richelieu!" ”
