The first update

Offending London and not taking a step back is perhaps the bravest thing King William has ever done in his life. Personally, apart from other factors, he was far more disgusted by Disraeli than his inscrutable opponent in Paris, and so far at least so far all disputes have been caused unilaterally by Germany. Napoleon did not make a substantial provocation against Berlin. Disraeli, however, was different, and Germany went on the path of foreign expansion. They felt more and more that the British were at a loss, and that all the colonies of the world had been carved up, leaving the Germans at a loss, not knowing where to start.

Originally, they wanted to use Congo as a stepping stone, but they were intercepted by Britain and France halfway, and King William still remembered this account.

The news of London's rejection soon reached Napoleon's ears, but he did not show any other look, as if he had already expected the end. However, accidents are like surprises in life, and they will always be presented in front of them at inadvertent moments.

When Napoleon was still thinking about restarting the negotiations, King Wilhelm took the initiative to come to the door. Asked to continue the deliberations and negotiations with Napoleon.

"Strange, haven't you already refused to negotiate? Why do you take the initiative now? ”

Napoleon leaned back on the sofa and asked with a disdainful expression, "I thought that the leaders of Berlin were very strong, and would rather continue the war than pay 10 million marks." Or have you been stimulated by the British lately? ”

"Put away your little tricks, Your Excellency President Napoleon. Don't think I don't know what you're doing behind your back, since the Paris delegation appeared in Berlin, there hasn't been a day when you haven't made waves, and you've done everything you can to get war reparations, so hard that you can't compete openly at the negotiating table? ”

"Our request is simple, 10 million marks per bullet, and I must let Minister Dekaz know that Paris will fully compensate for the damage he has suffered. It's okay if you choose not to compensate, and Paris will take it yourself. Don't blame me for not reminding you when the time comes. King William, it didn't look so good when we came to get it ourselves. ”

King Wilhelm had sensed that Napoleon was blackmailing him, but he had to choose a middle ground between continuing the war and ten million marks, and he pondered for a moment and said, "Five million marks, Berlin is willing to make this price." ”

"Ten million."

Napoleon had to repeat, "Not a penny less, or an equivalent reparation, you choose." If we are not willing to pay compensation, we will tear up the ceasefire agreement now. ”

"Eight million."

King William didn't want to continue to entangle, he just wanted to end the dispute as soon as possible and restore the previous peaceful order. If Napoleon still refused, he would rather continue the war until Alsace and Lorraine were taken.

Napoleon frowned, he knew that it would be very difficult to get ten million out of the old fox's mouth, and that he had no second choice so far.

"Deal, eight million."

And this time, Napoleon did not drag the slightest bit and said bluntly, "Eight million." ”

"Huh? Wait a minute. ”

King William hasn't figured out what's going on yet, isn't this different from the previous negotiations?

Napoleon told those around him, "Send a telegram to Paris saying that King Wilhelm is willing to pay France eight million marks as war reparations." ”

He suddenly felt that he had stepped into a trap designed by Napoleon again, but he had not yet come to his senses for a while.

"Agreed so quickly?"

King William hurriedly said, "Why are you ......?"

Napoleon, who did not play his cards according to common sense, directly interrupted him, and explained to King William, "The meeting will be arranged this afternoon, lest I have too many dreams at night, and I do not want to stay in this ghost place for a moment." Oh yes, if there are no surprises to our Minister Dekaz, I'll take him back to recuperate when the negotiations are over. ”

"Are we ......?"

"Please, Your Majesty, you should also get some rest."

Napoleon got up and sent King William out of the door in an orderly manner.

The other party's attitude is obviously to chase away the customer, and he can't continue to mess around.

Before leaving, he said to William I, "For God's sake, I hope that there will never be another war in Alsace." ”

King William, with his blue face, heard Napoleon's ridicule, and he also ridiculed him.

"If God could bless the peace of Alsace, there would be no need for you to painstakingly station a single army there."

When Napoleon heard this, he just smiled and disagreed.

His purpose has been achieved.

King Wilhelm, after leaving the hotel where the French president was staying, returned to the royal palace in Berlin, and his mind was full of all he was thinking about this afternoon's negotiations, how could he open his mouth to the Reichstag and tell them this unfortunate fact?

The Germans want to pay the French eight million marks, and I am afraid that after hearing this figure, many parliamentarians will faint directly. But fortunately, Ron's encirclement and suppression of the Young Officers Conservative Party went very smoothly, and those small groups that had close contact with Mackensen were arrested one by one, and the rest did not dare to make a second attempt, after all, the authority of the king was pressed, and these pretentious fellows had to bow their noble heads.

When Ron came to report the news to him, King William was also very surprised to receive a letter from Val Ching Manor.

"King William himself?"

He took the letter, hesitated, and even looked at the envelope several times, wanting to peek out Ni Duan from it. Yet it was an ordinary letter, with nothing under it but the address and name. It's just that this letter was delivered by Bismarck to his adjutant, and he sent it quickly.

Ron looked at the letter in William's hand, and suddenly understood something, he said very consciously, "I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I'll leave now." ”

"No, you don't have to go, anyway, he is no longer the prime minister, and what he writes is not classified, and you, as the current German chancellor, have this power."

King William stopped Ron and ordered him to stand where he was, waiting for him to finish reading the letter and tell him something more important.

Ron was also curious that Bismarck must have had other purposes in sending a letter to King Wilhelm at this time.

Wilhelm curled the corners of his mouth and said with a smirk, "I would like to see what Bismarck has to offer." An old guy who doesn't have trouble staying at Val Ching Manor. ”

He used his sharp knife to carefully scrape away the paint along the edges, revealing a corner of the pale yellow letter inside. King Wilhelm opened the envelope, and inside was a thick wad of stationery that recorded the views of the former prime minister on the Franco-German negotiations.

Ron subconsciously stepped forward to see what was recorded inside.

However, Bismarck's first sentence made King Wilhelm's expression change, and he hurriedly continued to read, but the more he read, the more remorseful the content of the letter became.

Annoyed, he suddenly realizes that he had just made a stupid deal.

All joy on King William's face was swept away, replaced by an indescribable disappointment.

With a slip of the hand, all the letter paper was scattered on the ground.

"What's wrong? Your Majesty? ”

Seeing this, Ron was startled.

He hurriedly stepped forward and picked up the letter on the ground, and after reading the beginning, his face became as defeated as the king's, and his expression was helpless.

"It's true...... Is it? ”

King William scratched his hair, looking a little sluggish, and said in a smug voice, "Did I make a stupid mistake just now?" ”
