Third, yesterday's arrears have been completed

Grasp with both hands, and be hard with both hands. This was Napoleon's first criterion.

Now that he has convinced the Russians to become his allies, the next step is to sell arms to his allies. The superiority of the Maxim machine gun is obvious to all, and in the defense of Plevin, a Russian detachment equipped with a Maxim machine gun actually withstood the attack of the Turkish company, which was almost impossible before.

At the same time, the performance of Schneider's artillery in the war also won the company a large number of orders, and with it was the next order from Paris to continue new research and development in artillery. Including 105 and 65 mountain guns, as well as 155 howitzers. Anyway, France had just won the war on the border, and he had time to slowly wear it down with the Germans.

At the same time, Bismarck did not let his guard down and began to formulate a new round of plans to suppress France. Bismarck learned from the war that had just ended, realized that the French armament was rapidly changing, they could no longer use the old rifles, and the new gunpowder used by the French army also attracted the attention of the German technical department, and they were seizing the time to develop the same smokeless gunpowder.

The smell of political clouds and gunsmoke began to fill Europe, and Bismarck already had a premonition that war would not be too far away, and he knew that this conflict between France and Germany was only an appetizer, and that there was a greater political conspiracy waiting for him next.

But for Napoleon, the life of King Wilhelm, the supporter behind Bismarck, had come to an end.

It is not the end of life, but the end of history.

Two people who had the opportunity to change history stepped onto the stage of history under the indirect guidance of the French intelligence service.

Hardware helpers Herder and Karl Binolin, obscure little figures in German history and at the same time radical socialists, harbored a strong hatred for their king.

King Wilhelm's reign had been suppressing the movement of the working class and the development of socialists, and advocating that the militarism of German Prussia must be the legitimacy of the country, which is why King Wilhelm, who had suppressed the constitutional movement in his youth, became the target of public criticism.

No one would have imagined that behind these two men was the presence of the French intelligence service, and Napoleon had told Lefllow from the beginning that he must do everything possible to get close to these two men and provide them with the best weapons.

Historically, Karl Binolin committed suicide after shooting King Wilhelm, and it was because of the shot he missed that King Wilhelm issued the most draconian decree, and then there was a persecution of socialists in Germany for more than a decade, which did not stop until it was abolished in 1890.

Napoleon's office was left with only the intelligence chief Levlow, and even the soldiers in the corridors were dispersed,

"Will we provoke a war by doing this? Your Excellency President Napoleon, I have already checked the background of the two people you mentioned, and the intelligence feedback is indeed a radical socialist. They had been trying to plot the assassination of the German top brass and prevent them from continuing their persecution of the socialists. ”

This is not the first time that Le Flow has worried about this issue, and from the moment Napoleon proposed this bold and crazy plan, he has been thinking about his purpose in doing so.

Hearing this, Napoleon knew that his judgment was not wrong.

"It was a matter for the two of them to carry out the assassination, and the French side acted at most as arms smugglers, providing them with pistols and shotguns with better accuracy, as well as explosives. If they succeed, it means that our plan will not have to wait for more than ten years, and if they fail, we will continue to follow your original plan. It's just a shortcut, and there's no need to expect too much. ”

Napoleon wished that someone had punched a few small holes in King William's head, which was simply to eliminate the harm of the French people. The feud between Napoleon III and Bismarck should not have lasted until now, and Franco-German reconciliation was the only way forward.

"Why does Your Excellency believe that these two men would take the risk of assassinating King William?"

In Lerflow's view, although both men had dangerous radical tendencies, it did not mean that he would assassinate the German king. This is a risky and opportunistic approach.

Napoleon said helplessly, "Because you are not a time-traveler......"

"Huh?"

Lovlo clearly did not understand what Napoleon meant.

"Oh, nothing."

Napoleon, realizing that he had said the wrong thing, quickly diverted the subject, saying, "Don't show too obvious hints to the people lurking in Berlin, just go on with the flow of things." ”

Lovlo saw that His Excellency the President was reluctant to pick up the subject, so he had to continue with his words, "I know that people who are not in Berlin have already arranged for this. Absolutely no intention to encourage them will be shown. ”

"Good, good."

Napoleon patted Louflo on the shoulder, and then said something that stunned him.

"After the deed is completed, all the intelligence personnel in Berlin will be withdrawn, and the embassy will continue to remain hidden."

"This ......"

Le Flow was at a loss, the Berlin intelligence network had taken him seven years to assemble, and now he had to withdraw all the intelligence officers because of an assassination, which obviously outweighed the benefits, and if they withdrew, who would pass the information to Paris in the future.

Napoleon saw through his hesitation and said to Le Flo in a serious tone, "Listen, my director. This was an extremely high-risk assassination, and we must not let the Berlin authorities perceive the French conspiracy. That's why I didn't let the Intelligence Bureau go out of my way to train those two rookies who didn't have any experience, but provided them with some weapons through third-party channels and did it hastily. If King Wilhelm dies, when the crown prince succeeds to the throne, Bismarck will lose his political support, and Crown Prince Frederick has never been willing to see Bismarck, and Crown Prince Frederick, who believes in freedom and human rights, believes that German diplomacy should not be like Bismarck's control, but should be a peaceful and gentle attitude. ”

"Huh?"

From the very beginning of the plan, and even from the moment the intelligence services were established, all Napoleon's eyes were focused on Crown Prince Frederick, and everything he did was like sweeping away all the enemies that threatened his rule for Crown Prince Frederick.

"His Excellency President Napoleon thinks it is in our interest to put Crown Prince Frederick in the position of king?"

Le Flow really felt that Napoleon was becoming more and more like a mad gambler, gambling with the fortunes of a country.

Napoleon said disdainfully, "Whether it is beneficial to France depends on the next situation, and of course the emergence of a German ruler who is willing to ease the tension between France and Germany is also something we are very willing to see." Anyway, the biggest obstacle to Franco-German relations was Wilhelm I and Bismarck, and after the death of these two old guys, they successfully formed an alliance. ”

He stood up, straightened his collar, and looked at the English Channel.

and the well-deserved empire of sea power, Great Britain.

"When the interests of France and Germany are aligned, we can go down to Britain."
