The second more

After Chancellor Bismarck came out of Crown Prince Frederick's office, his expression was always cold, and even the passing attendants could clearly see from the face of the palace regular that he was not in a good mood.

This is the second time we have met unhappily.

Crown Prince Frederick seems to have been born with a strong hostility towards his policy, and even towards him himself, and this hostility is mainly reflected in the attitude of both sides towards France.

Chancellor Bismarck was a staunch conservative, France would always be its enemy, and Berlin had to maintain its military superiority in order to defeat the enemy, and today he made a fuss with French condolences to test how the incoming new king would react to their old enemy.

However, it is a pity that Crown Prince Frederick handed over a zero-mark test paper to Prime Minister Bismarck.

Chancellor Bismarck walked out of the palace, and at this time, he saw Moltke's chief of staff standing in front of the carriage waiting for him, and suddenly reminded him of the meeting before the Franco-Prussian War, when the two sides met in the Berlin Council Hall.

It's the same anxiety.

Prime Minister Bismarck walked over with a hard head, and he walked directly to Moltke.

Moltke was the first to speak.

"It seems that you are in a bad situation again."

Bismarck sighed and said, "I am mistaken, Crown Prince Frederick is more persistent than I thought, from the very beginning of his tenure, he has vigorously rejected the Prussian militarist tradition, including the feeling that he will adopt a policy of appeasement in the future on the issue of France, which is not good news, Chief of Staff Moltke!" ”

Moltke also nodded, he held his pipe in his mouth, held his chin in his left hand, and said with a little contemplation, "Prussian militarism represents our continuous external expansion, defeating the enemies of Germany, if we lose the war, all of us will be unemployed, not to mention the great desire to complete the revival of the German nation." The next path for Prime Minister Bismarck will be more difficult, but you have the support of the entire Junker militarist aristocracy behind you. ”

Bismarck smiled bitterly, in fact, there was only an ideological difference between him and Crown Prince Frederick, but this difference was expressed in politics and turned into a clash of interest factions. Wilhelm I spent his whole life building a Prussian Junker militarist aristocracy, and now Crown Prince Frederick is returning to parliamentary supremacy, which has made the efforts of the older generation go to waste.

It was in 1862 that they fought to the death against Parliament to get to where they are now. And Crown Prince Frederick actually wants to wash away the old path that was previously denied, which is unacceptable to anyone.

Militarism is a double-edged sword. If it is not handled well, it will risk a huge disaster for Germany.

Berlin had already learned its power in Ron's hands, and the extreme militarist fanatics had almost assassinated the French Foreign Minister, and even Chancellor Bismarck could not help but feel terrified when he read the letter, if that bullet had entered the chest of the French president, Bismarck would not have faced a calm international environment, but an anti-German coalition led by Britain or France.

The Europeans had the inherent notion that France was the most potential continental hegemon, and even if there had been some encroachment, the funds provided by their vast colonies quickly solved these problems, and France had the advantage that Germany did not have, that is, a huge colonial empire.

Now Bismarck could only pick up some scraps in the international environment, they did not occupy the richest colonies, and the Prussians exploded with ambition and desire for disputes all over the world.

If they win the next victory over France, the colonial empire is very likely to collapse, and the vast majority of the area will become the territory of Berlin.

"Crown Prince Frederick's side, I will be accommodating a little more, and I hope that I can do a good job of ideological work as soon as possible. As for the German army, they will not let up on their part, and they will not rest on their laurels after our two invasions of France. We must strengthen the defense of the border, I am just afraid that another situation will happen. ”

"What's the situation?"

"France will open a gap with the newly inaugurated German emperor."

Prime Minister Bismarck's face was pale, and he had a very bad premonition in his heart, and he always felt that there was a force pushing the situation in Berlin in a direction that he could not have predicted at all.

"I can only try to prevent this from happening, and the sugar-coated shells of the Tuileries are more terrible than the one million troops they have deployed in the border areas. And convincing Crown Prince Frederick is not a simple matter, we need to think long-term. ”

After Bismarck left, Ron appeared in Crown Prince Frederick's office, arriving earlier and taking in all the situation.

Crown Prince Frederick said with a blank face, "Did you hear what Chancellor Bismarck said just now?" ”

Ron nodded.

No one would have imagined that the field marshal, who was responsible for formulating and laying the foundations of Prussian militarism, would become Crown Prince Frederick.

"Bismarck saw France as a long-term enemy, but I know what His Majesty is thinking."

Frederick muttered to himself, "This situation cannot continue, and now that Paris is unilaterally showing good intentions, we should also go along with the tide and normalize relations between the two countries." ”

Ron took off his hat, and when he thought about Crown Prince Frederick's amazing idea, he knew that he would definitely be opposed by everyone, and only Ron, the Minister of War who had parted ways with Bismarck, was one of his choices.

"Ahem."

Ron coughed twice, his body was getting worse and worse, and he had no choice but to stand up at this time. Since the last Franco-German negotiations were humiliated by Napoleon, Ron has all but disappeared from public view.

"If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really intends to normalize Franco-German relations, then Chancellor Bismarck is inescapable. He is a staunch French nemesis conservative, if he ......"

Crown Prince Frederick interrupted Ron, saying, "If he doesn't fall, France's foreign policy will always follow him, won't it?" ”

"Yes."

Ron looked at the crown prince cautiously, and his words just now were mixed with his little calculations.

Crown Prince Frederick closed his eyes and said slowly, "I know, I'll arrange it well." Bismarck was not without enemies, and I don't want my father's old ministers to point fingers at what is now Germany. ”

This sentence is well arranged, Ron doesn't dare to guess casually, but he knows that the crown prince is ready, and he should not continue to interfere.

Perhaps Bismarck's political career was coming to an end.
