The Berlin Pavilion has once again welcomed familiar guests. Foreign Minister Dekaz even knew every brick of the palace and became a minister in Berlin rather than a diplomatic envoy in Paris.

This trip was to bring news of the victory in Egypt to Frederick III. The first real overseas colony he had dreamed of was about to become a reality.

Especially when he heard that Napoleon led the troops and personally broke through the British defenses, even the handsome man who grew up in the war was surprised.

This is definitely God Bless France.

"What? You say the British were broken? Not even Alexandria was saved? What do these Britons eat? ”

"I didn't expect that I thought the British commander-in-chief was so far-sighted, but in the end he lost to a suicide attack. I'm afraid Queen Victoria is so angry that her face is pale now. ”

Frederick III's surprise was not inferior to the others, and he was far from expecting to bring himself such an unexpected surprise. He thought that the situation in Egypt would develop at best, but the two sides would stick to a defensive line and engage in a protracted tug-of-war, but he did not expect that the French would directly deal with the British defenders of Alexandria and finally win the war.

This is one of the most unconventional battles Frederick III has ever seen! Although no one doubted Napoleon's great strength, he directly went deep and wiped out the opposing general staff, and in Frederick's opinion, Napoleon's luck in this battle accounted for ninety percent, and the remaining one percent was due to the stupidity of the British commander-in-chief, which gave them such an opportunity.

That's why he said meaningfully when he saw Foreign Minister Dekaz, "It's really a fluke that France won this time, I wonder if the French will have such good luck next time?" ”

In Frederick's view, the victory of the French could only be attributed to luck, and other factors such as strength could be said to be basically non-existent. The British army had a change of commander on the spot, coupled with improper command, and was attacked by the French to lead to the current situation. It can be said that there are thousands of mistakes, and all the faults should be borne by George, Duke of Cambridge. Anyway, Britain needs a substitute for the dead now, and the hapless Duke of Cambridge has become the best candidate.

Foreign Minister De Kaz humorously replied, "Of course, the French have always had good luck. Why else would Napoleon come out of the coffin? ”

"Hahaha."

After a little joke, everything is in plain sight.

"This time I came to Berlin to invite His Majesty Frederick to the Trilateral Conference, we have now taken Egypt, we must force them to the negotiating table, if the war continues, there is a possibility that it will get out of control."

"Forced to the negotiating table, how to force it? Are the British cowards? Their first thought now must be revenge, your Excellency President Napoleon, seek revenge in Paris, which is caused by France. Moreover, in the Egyptian war, you have invested a huge amount of troops, and I am afraid that it will be too late to come back to defend by then. Your west coast is exposed, and the British fleet is within range of its artillery fire......"

"So I came today on one condition, that His Majesty Frederick send troops. Once the war broke out, I hope that Germany will be able to intervene in this war, and you are the last bargaining chip we have on the British at the negotiating table! Without your help, France will not be able to move an inch. ”

"This is a somewhat difficult proposal to accept, after all, Berlin is not ready for war with Britain at the same time."

"Does Frederick III still think that London will let you go if war breaks out? No kidding, the problem of South Africa, the problem of Egypt, you have offended Prime Minister Gladstone. Even if Germany were neutral, would the British let you go? France has been cleaned up, and the next unlucky one is Germany, and we are now in a relationship of lip and tooth. A grasshopper on a thread. ”

Foreign Minister Dekaz's words were no longer advice but threats, and he threatened the Germans that if they did not do what they said, it would be a question of whether the North German Confederation could be kept in the next moment.

"Are you trying to blackmail me? Wrong? Are you blackmailing the entire Second German Reich? ”

Frederick III said indifferently, "Don't forget that we are a million-strong army!" The most powerful military empire in the European Hokkaido! ”

Foreign Minister Dekaz gave him a disdainful look and continued to speak to himself, "I never want to blackmail anyone, I just make it clear to you. You have been part of the conspiracy to rob the British of the Transvaal gold mines in South Africa, and at the same time the British to rule Egypt. Do you really think he won't do anything to you? If France loses, the next target will be Berlin. The British don't have such a good temper and will patiently reason with you. ”

"It is true that the British may not be your opponent on the ground, but these people will block your coastline and force you to no end, what will you do then? With the German fleet alone, you want to challenge the maintainers of world order? ”

Foreign Minister Dekaz hit Frederick III's point of skew, and the German navy could never fight the British alone, so they were forced to accept the Phalanx plan to develop together with the French fleet. So now Paris also took advantage of this plan and tied Germany to its own chariot.

"So your great Majesty Frederick, you are perfectly capable of standing by and watching! Watching your allies win or lose is a small surprise to you. But I would like to remind you that after France loses its last land, the British will take over our colonies and become the only world empire! Will Germany, which does not even have a colony, be able to keep its overseas markets? Or have you given up on your great dreams? ”

The last words of Foreign Minister Dekaz made Frederick III enlighten that now they cannot afford to lose France as an ally, and France cannot afford to lose them, and that the two sides must be an unbreakable alliance in the face of a common threat.

By the time this step had been reached, the whole situation had developed exactly in the direction that Foreign Minister Dekaz had planned. Even without his deliberate reminder, Frederick would have made a decision in favor of France.

But in the end, he still said more, "The decision to change the course of history is now in your hands, Your Majesty Frederick!" Whether you decide to become the hegemon of the world powers, or to become a pawn that dies at the hands of the British, decide for yourself! ”.
