The first update

The two wars that broke out in Europe have been on the nerves of various countries.

The first was Russia's declaration of war on the Ottoman Empire. The Russian army directly occupied the Shipka Pass and captured Plevin, and then the two sides engaged in a tug-of-war. Germany has never been able to penetrate the heart of France and has been directly blocked from the door.

Russia and Germany are like a pair of difficult brothers, both thinking that they can easily defeat their opponents, but in the end they both turned into a tug-of-war.

Napoleon thought that Bismarck would continue to drag on the war, and the longer the war dragged on, the greater the chances of France turning the tables. Britain will not sit idly by in the end.

But accidents always come suddenly.

The German Emperor went so far as to unilaterally and directly telephonize directly to the Tuileries Palace, hoping to resolve the dispute caused by Bismarck by peaceful and friendly means.

Well?

This time the script did not go according to Napoleon's wishes, and he even felt that the other party had seen something, and involuntarily frowned at the telegram.

"Berlin has conceded? This is not very in line with their style, and I thought Bismarck would insist on dragging out the war, after all, he gambled everything here. They should have been able to accept the losses of the initial German attack, but less than two months later, they were clamoring to surrender? Is this still the great and invincible Second German Reich in some people's mouths? ”

It seems that he originally thought that the other party could play the strength of the strongest king rank, but the final result made people happy.

Napoleon was very dissatisfied, and his plan was only halfway realized by now. Originally, when the other side could not hold on, the United British troops directly invaded Germany, and forced Bismarck to sign an alliance under the city, in addition to determining that the sovereignty of Alsace belonged to Paris, and where to get more compensation from Berlin.

To his surprise, King Wilhelm had made a private settlement and was willing to negotiate the dispute in Alsace.

"That's a good thing, Your Excellency President Napoleon."

Foreign Minister Dekaz excitedly said, "Isn't it our ultimate goal that we can get back to Alsace without prolonging the war?" At the very least, participating in this peace talks would minimize the losses of the French, and ensure that they would not raise troops against us again. ”

Napoleon glanced at Foreign Minister Dekaz with disdain, threw the telegram aside, and said mockingly, "Is it possible that Minister Dekaz has only one target in Alsace?" Is it that the French have been weak for a long time, and the recovery of the disputed area is enough to excite you? ”

Dekaz paused for a moment, he wondered why Napoleon suddenly said this, isn't it the best way to end the war?

"How else......"

"I refuse to make peace with King William now."

Napoleon said disdainfully, "At least it is not yet time for peace talks, and if he is sincere, he should make more sincere demands, instead of a hypocritical never to target Alsace." Is there any point in my sincerity that I can also sign a treaty with the Russians and never fight Moscow's idea, and an agreement with the Pope never to invade the Vatican? Does this kind of agreement do any purpose? It didn't work at all. ”

“……”

Foreign Minister De Kaz was speechless to refute, and every time Napoleon said this, it meant that he was ready to trap people.

Napoleon scratched his head, thought for a moment and continued, "Well, then, you will reply to King Wilhelm that Alsace was originally the inherent territory of France, and that your argument is untenable in any respect. What Paris needs now is for the German invaders to withdraw from our territory immediately and to conclude a cease-fire agreement. The second is that the Germans must first pay war reparations to France, and you rashly invade our country, and then say sorry and it's over? If an apology helps, there will be wars in Europe? ”

Napoleon was dismissive of William's fawning, and in fact he had already prepared a gift in his heart, which the king was forced to agree to.

"By the way, my conversation today and King William's telephone call have been published, and I want to show them not only in Paris, but also in the whole of Europe, King William's cowardice."

"But Your Excellency."

The Foreign Minister said very helplessly, "Are you making it clear that King William can't get off the stage?" What if the other party becomes angry and no longer talks peacefully? ”

Napoleon said with great disdain, "It is they who are anxious to end the war, not us." I don't care at all what Bismarck and Wilhelm will feel in the end, I only care about whether Paris can turn the tide in this war. Without a political bargaining chip, I am afraid that Bismarck's hardline attitude will not be reversed at all. ”

Political chips?

The Minister of Foreign Affairs was a little unclear. He saw only Napoleon's calm expression and a mysterious smile like the Mona Lisa, "There is nothing more interesting than annoying one's political opponents, especially when he is angry and then has to do what we planned, and King William will learn a profound lesson." In the future invasion of France, don't rush to make a hasty decision. ”

Dekaz was helpless.

But he could only convey Napoleon's words to Berlin in 1510, and told King William himself that Paris had chosen not to surrender, and that it would have to increase the price of chips.

Instead of making peace, Paris sent out the news of King William's private peace talks as news, and did not even let him get down the steps.

As a result, the whole of Europe knew that Berlin was planning to back down, and even the Reichstag began to harass Wilhelm I again and again, demanding an explanation from him.

At this time, in order to avoid the pressure exerted by the kings, King Wilhelm specially hid in the Berlin Palace, and refused to receive guests due to his ill health, and the withdrawal of troops that should have been negotiated with Bismarck was also abandoned for this reason.

The king was presented with the bitter and humiliating words of the French, and Napoleon played a good propaganda role through a group of patriotic royal literati organized by Hugo.

They portrayed King William as a man with a head and a rat, who did not dare to show his ambitions openly, and who immediately retreated to be a shrunken turtle at the slightest hint of any trouble.

Since his clashing with Bismarck, there are very few political advisers left at his disposal.

Now Moltke is still on the front line in operational command, and Ron is the only one who can be used.

So he secretly summoned Ron to the Berlin Palace to hear his opinion.

"This ......"

Ron looked at the report on the table, looking embarrassed.

"This group of villains in Paris will only use this kind of means that can't be used to disgust people!"

Wilhelm said angrily, "I really regret that I didn't support Bismarck in killing Napoleon in that war seven years ago." I kindly pleaded with France for reconciliation, but I didn't expect them to be so faceless and directly report this matter, how can I explain what I have done to the Imperial Assembly and the kings of the principalities? ”

King Wilhelm was right, but the Germans, who were bent on revenge, did not. They will see their own king as a cowardly traitor.

William continued, "I'm thinking about the question, what is in it for France for him to do this? We are now at war, and everyone wants to end the war as soon as possible, but it seems to me that the French president's actions seem to be an attempt to drag on the war. This is not logical at all, how can they make up for the demolition of the German king's throne? ”

Illogical, unreasonable, this was Ron's only thought of Napoleon.

He is increasingly unable to see through the leaders of countries who use all kinds of political and diplomatic means.

Ron pondered for a moment before starting his analysis, "He can use his allies as political pawns, and naturally he can also use us to achieve political goals, don't forget how he developed in the beginning, but he directly slaughtered the royalist faction, or set fire to death mercilessly." Although Paris was ostensibly set on fire by Thiers, only he knew what the specifics were. ”

Ron said solemnly, "Our bottom line cannot be compromised, not fighting for Alsace is Germany's last bottom line, if they still want to make an inch, this war should continue." At least we can afford to lose. ”

The Minister of War felt that the situation was difficult, and Paris made it clear that it would not let them go. If Germany does lose, it will be even worse on the road to reconstruction.

And France will regain its status as a political power.

"Perhaps we should change our attitude towards France, and even if there is no more conflict, at least from now on."

When war can't destroy his old adversary, Ron's only thought is to use cold and violent means, a policy of isolation.

"It's time for a change in Germany's policy toward France, His Majesty King Wilhelm."

Ron continued in a firm tone, "If the problem cannot be reached by means of war, but instead puts Germany in the position of international political condemnation, then we can only carry out diplomatic containment, although the speed of the effect is not as fast as the war, but we have time to accompany France to slowly wear up." And now we have no direct conflict of interest with the British, and can cooperate as allies for the time being. ”

King William didn't say much after listening to Ron's words, but he had a vague premonition that the analysis caused by this war was more complicated than he expected.

The rivalry between Ron and Bismarck, the Russian allies, and the British, who have been trying to muddy the waters, are behind the situation is the diminutive man in Paris.

"Let's wait and see what happens next, and I'd like to see what the French do next."

King William rubbed his temples and said helplessly, "Whatever they want to do, they can only take advantage of this time." They will be exposed, they will tear their faces, but in the end they will not be able to get around this negotiation. ”

"And no matter how many small actions Napoleon makes, there will always be only one reply."

"Aside from the fact that they can give up Alsace, they will never be able to snatch another piece of meat from Berlin's mouth."

The author of the previous chapter has already checked it, and everything is correct except for one misspelling of the name and the misspelling of the name of the country. It's just divided into two paragraphs and the name is not added before the words, so you think that it was written incorrectly, and now it has been added and corrected.
