Chapter 216: Shelving Disputes and Joint Development

The first update

The French want to negotiate peacefully with the Germans?

It was like a thunderbolt that shocked many people. Tsar Alexander II of Russia even felt that the situation was not good, and summoned Prime Minister Gochakov overnight to discuss countermeasures.

And Gochakov is also helpless about this matter, after all, the foreign politics of the French are determined by themselves, and Russia has no right to interfere, so at most let the ambassador in Paris make a side statement about the friendly relations between France and Russia. And the rest of the rest will have to be left to them to figure it out.

Others had no idea that the two feuding countries would choose to settle their suspicions at this time, and that Napoleon had made huge concessions and proposed a coal and steel community agreement, which was simply a draw from the bottom of the kettle to draw Russia's hole cards.

French Foreign Minister De Kaz finally attended the meeting as a distinguished guest this time, and compared with the previous assassination, the German side arranged much more carefully, after all, it was the newly appointed Frederick III who personally told Bismarck to trouble Bismarck if anything went wrong.

The city of Berlin today is very lively, after all, they have changed their rhetoric from their previous propaganda, and they have begun to promote friendly cooperation between two countries, rather than the subjugation of their enemies.

Bismarck's face was very unnatural when he looked at the French Foreign Minister. It was a bit reluctant for him to sit down and talk and laugh with an enemy he had fought for half his life.

But Frederick III, who sat diagonally opposite, had no such vigilance.

He even welcomed the visiting Dekaz very much.

Bismarck, in order to suppress the other side, took the lead in provoking the topic, he asked people to expand the map of the border between France and Germany, and said, "If France and Germany are to reconcile, then the first problem is to settle the border conflict first." Because this involves the sovereignty of Germany, the sovereignty issue must be resolved before the others can be resolved. If France avoids this issue, then I believe that there is no need for this negotiation. ”

Hearing Bismarck's words, Dekaz was very angry, where is this negotiation, it is simply to force France to sign an unequal treaty. So he said bluntly, "I object, Chancellor Bismarck, that this is making a fuss about our sovereignty." It is well known that from the beginning of the Second French Empire, Alsace and Lorraine belonged to France, and the people who lived there also identified with the status of Paris. Can you turn this region into German land with a single word? Why don't you say that all of Great Britain is German? ”

Bismarck was stunned for a moment, but Dekaz did not miss any opportunity, he turned his head to face Frederick III, and said eloquently, "Your Majesty, France is here to rebuild the old relationship with Germany, not to quarrel with you. If you are going to make a fuss about our sovereignty from the very beginning, then I'm sorry, with all due respect, this negotiation will not go ahead, and it will be the German side that has failed to make the deal in the first place. ”

With that, Dekaz also stood up, ready to make a gesture to leave.

Bismarck, of course, was very happy, and he was eager to let the French get out of this room, and even continued sneeringly, "I will say that you French people are not sincere, and even the most basic questions are avoided, how can the next conversation begin?" ”

Seeing this, Crown Prince Frederick stood up and stopped Dekaz, apologized to him and said, "I'm sorry, Minister Dekaz, this was our mistake. ”

Seeing that the Kaiser actually went into battle to persuade him personally, Bismarck also stood up, frowned, and said dissatisfiedly, "Your Majesty, what are you doing here?" This is an issue of sovereignty that cannot be avoided, and if we do not even understand the issue of sovereignty, how can we negotiate? Do they want to acquiesce in the occupation of our land? ”

"Prime Minister Bismarck, don't say a word!"

Frederick III did not want to make the deadlock that could have been broken even more rigid as soon as he took office, and he said coldly, "Do you have to fight to the death on this issue, and finally miss the opportunity to be happy?" This is the kind of negotiation that I have repeatedly insisted on, and if you feel that you have been wronged, you can withdraw now! I'm here to talk to the French government personally, and I don't need to go through you, the prime minister! ”

Bismarck said unrelentingly, "But the question of sovereignty is a matter of principle, if we compromise and retreat......

Prime Minister Bismarck wanted to tell a big truth, but Foreign Minister Dekaz directly blocked the other party's mouth.

"With all due respect, don't you know that Chancellor Bismarck has a saying called shelving disputes and joint development?"

Frederick III and Prime Minister Bismarck were stunned at the same time, and the two of them focused their eyes on Foreign Minister Dekaz, who was calm.

"Huh?"

Frederick III became interested, he sat down again, and asked the other party politely, "What does it mean to put aside the dispute and develop together?" ”

"This is the suggestion of His Majesty Napoleon, who thinks that if there is no way to resolve the question of the border by means of peaceful diplomacy, then we will put aside all disputes for the time being, and turn these two regions into free trade zones, as was the case with the Treaty of Paris." At the same time, it is also an important symbol of the improvement of relations between France and Germany. ”

Chancellor Bismarck sneered and said, "It's a clichΓ© again. ”

"Listen to me first, otherwise it's rude. Are you Junker aristocrats a bunch of hillbillies? So rude! ”

Foreign Minister Dekaz unceremoniously stepped back, interrupting Bismarck's interjection with a wave of his hand, and he took out a plan from his briefcase and methodically presented Frederick III of their plans for joint development.

Frederick III took over the proposal of Foreign Minister Dekaz, turned the pages and was immediately fascinated by its contents, which was simply a model for easing the contradictions between the two countries.

"As Frederick III had seen, the French were willing to make great concessions. Paving the way for a new charter between the two countries, His Excellency President Napoleon also said that he hoped that the two sides would become allies in cooperation. ”

"Shelving Disputes and Jointly Developing ......"

Crown Prince Frederick repeated the words, then looked up at Chancellor Bismarck, and asked, "What does Your Excellency Bismarck think?" ”

"What do you think?"

Bismarck walked up to Foreign Minister Dekaz and looked him straight in the face.

"I just want to know what is behind the French conspiracy to instigate us to cooperate with you."

However, the next words of Foreign Minister Dekaz made Frederick III's face change instantly.

"Of course there is a conspiracy, all countries are interests first, how can there be no conspiracy?"

The atmosphere in the conference room suddenly became strange, and Frederick and Bismarck cast suspicious glances at Foreign Minister Dekaz, who they did not expect that Dekaz would easily admit that there was a conspiracy behind it.

Bismarck curled the corners of his mouth and continued, "I knew it! ”

"Then Prime Minister Bismarck wants to hear what the French government really thinks?"
