The third update is completed normally, and there is a monthly pass to add a change, asking for a monthly pass

After seeking cooperation to no avail, the Austrian delegates had no choice but to leave the Prussian base camp with regret.

King William asked, "Just let him go?" ”

"What else else?"

Chancellor Bismarck said disdainfully, "With Joseph, Prussia doesn't even know how to die." Let's not forget the king's misdeeds in continental Europe, when he mobilized his troops in Galicia to the Russian border, despite the Tsar's constant support for him, and forced Nicholas I to withdraw his troops from the Danube, which caused a permanent rift between the two countries. Britain and France, on the other hand, because they did not directly participate in the war, were regarded as treacherous figures who tried to get something for nothing, and in the end Joseph did not please both sides. ”

In 1859, he began to cut military spending because of the country's complex financial problems, but was instigated by Italian Prime Minister Cavour, who could not help but provoke and declared war on the Kingdom of Sardinia. This fool probably didn't expect that Napoleon III of France would change face as quickly as he turned a book, and suddenly draw his sword to help the weak kingdom of Sardinia. Austria was a mess. ”

This was also the first time in history that 100,000 troops were quickly brought to the Italian battlefield by rail mobility, creating and updating the mode of army transportation. The punitive operation of the border guards that Austria had expected turned into a main confrontation between the great powers, and Franz himself did not have the slightest effect in rushing to the battlefield, the Austrian army appeared disorganized, and the defeat at the Battle of Solferino seriously damaged his military reputation. As a result, in July, Joseph hastily concluded the Peace of Liberty Town, ceding Lombarbi to France to end the war.

The climate of crisis that followed the defeat prompted Franz Joseph to revisit the question of the Constitution, which was even more taboo for Bismarck. Because King Wilhelm had opposed the German constitutional movement, which was diametrically opposed to German policy, he did not want to set himself on fire.

"Germany has forced out the last potential ally, and our situation at the negotiating table will be even more unfavorable."

"This is not an above-board negotiation on an equal footing, and Paris may have been planning this peace talks two months ago, otherwise they would not have been able to negotiate with all the European powers as soon as they sat down at the negotiating table. Crown Prince Frederick bought us only a reprieve of death. ”

"Napoleon had already thought two months ago that we would make peace with him?"

King William could not believe the uncertain prophet of the other party, he shook his head and said, "It is ridiculous, could it be that when the Prussian army was victorious at the beginning, he would have taken the current situation into account?" ”

Bismarck did not dare to underestimate Napoleon's methods, and from the time he was captive, he was confronted almost every day with a face that he had only seen in portraits.

"He was a Richelieu-like figure, with a political vision far above the rest, and Napoleon once pointed out that Prussia was a strategic mistake on the part of the army, and he once said that we only want to defeat the Second French Empire, not a French nation. But the emergence of a cohesive militant faction in France could drag Germany into an abyss of undying death. Later in the Franco-Prussian War, he fulfilled his claim, and now he wants to use the diplomatic pressure of the Great Powers to force us to submit. ”

Bismarck could not forget to this day, the terrible memories that Napoleon brought him, and he even regretted it somewhat. At the Tuileries Palace, it was supposed to be a life for a life. Solve the problem of the henchmen for the rise of Germany.

The coronation of the king at Versailles may have become a Prussian utopia.

"Now we are pressed against the odds, unless there is a miracle or a turnaround. Otherwise, it is necessary to hope that His Majesty the King will make a decision as soon as possible. ”

King William, as if aware of something, asked, "What decision?" ”

Bismarck, as the main war faction, insisted on his own proposition, "to fight to the death against France." ”

King William simply replied with one word.

"Veto."

For the next two days, Prussia and France were locked in a silent contest, and Chancellor Bismarck kept himself in his room thinking about countermeasures, because of the Paris peace talks, both sides stopped attacking, but this did not mean that the competition did not continue. From time to time, small frictions and clashes have erupted between the two sides.

Since the armistice, the Rhine Corps hastened to repair the cable telegraph with Paris, and the two sides began to enter into official communication. When they learned that Paris had forced Prussia to the negotiating table to solve the problem, everyone was subconsciously relieved.

The fortress of Metz was finally saved, and the five-man Rhine legion led by Stowel did not fight in this war, but used the 170,000 troops of France to contain the enemy's forces, creating an opportunity for peace talks in Paris. But Napoleon still wanted them to do one thing, to completely push Bismarck to the forefront.

"Provocation?"

Conrobel was stunned for a moment, but quickly understood what Paris meant, and he said, "Does it mean that Paris wants the Prussians to re-provoke the first shot of the war?" ”

Stoverwell nodded and said, "I'm afraid yes, the telegram asks us to do this, and the friction between the patrols between the Rhine Corps and the Prussian Second Army has become more and more frequent these days. From the initial staring to the current scolding, I am afraid that Paris wants to increase its bargaining chips at the negotiating table in this way. ”

Leboeuf asked, "So what should we do?" ”

"We will do what Paris tells us to do, isn't it to provoke a war between the two armies? And after the shooting, it is considered a declaration of war. Remember, martial law must be put on the French army before conflict breaks out, and if Prussia is desperate to tear its face, then this peace summit in Paris will be fun. ”

With a sly smile, Stowell pointed to the bridge to the fortress of Metz, and said, "We will break out a skirmish on this bridge to achieve what Paris wants." ”

Three days later, the Paris Peace Conference was held as usual, only this time Prussia's delegates were changed from Crown Prince Frederick to Bismarck, a troublesome old fox whose British Prime Minister Gladstone is said to frown when he sees him.

Unlike Napoleon III's poor performance, Bismarck's series of political maneuvers before the Franco-Prussian War were textbook diplomacy.

Three days earlier he had come down as a loser and had been treated coldly by the French, who also felt that he had betrayed the trust of King Wilhelm and had lost the war.

Now he's back.

Bismarck strode up the steps, the snow falling from Paris scattered on his shoulders, and the cold did not extinguish the thirst for revenge in his heart, and he decided to win a game at the negotiating table, and even if he could not cede Alsace, he would pay two billion francs of reparations from Napoleon's mouth.

Russian diplomatic ambassador Gochakov stood in front of the pillars and looked at the German prime minister with a strange expression. If even he loses, then the Russians will gain the maximum political benefits from this peace conference. Turning the Black Sea into a backyard pool of the Russian Empire, and then launching the 10th Russo-Turkish War against the Ottoman Empire, and even thinking that the recovery of Constantinople and the revival of the glory of the Third Rome were just around the corner.

Bismarck also seemed to notice that his gaze was looking at him, and he looked up and smiled in return. Even if the Russians were on the side of France, he could not offend them for the time being. Because after the end of the Franco-Prussian War, Germany still needs to use Russia's national power to contain the re-emergence of France.

Seeing the flattering smile of the German chancellor, Gochakov confirmed his judgment even more, Prussia now needs allies, and when this peace conference is over, it will naturally throw an olive branch to Moscow.

Soon, the delegates entered the chamber one after another, and today the fate of the two nations will be decided, and everyone wants to witness the final outcome, whether Bismarck is superior, or Napoleon is superior,

However, all the delegates were seated, except for the French representative, who was vacant, and this unconscionable situation provoked whispers of discussion among others.

It stands to reason that Napoleon should have been in place earlier.

Bismarck realized that this was an excellent opportunity to use the issue, and quickly stood up and criticized the opposing delegation, "Why is the French representative still delayed, are they going to abandon this negotiation?" ”

Bismarck raised his voice and sarcastically mocked Napoleon, "Or do you know that you will not be able to pay the Germans reparations in this peace conference, so you simply hide somewhere in the Tuileries Palace as turtles?" ”

"Sorry, I'm late."

There was a loud sound, and the door to the conference room was suddenly opened. Bismarck and the representatives of the other three countries all turned their heads at the same time, and they only saw Napoleon appear at the door, and he walked into the conference room with his hands behind his back and a gloomy face. He walked directly to Bismarck, picked up a telegram and slammed it on the table, looking into the other party's eyes without any expression.

He said in a cold voice, "Because there are some things that have to be dealt with, this morning the German Second Army launched an attack on the positions of our Rhine Corps, and the casualties are unknown at present, but the losses are heavy, this is the sincerity of your peace talks?" ”

The surrounding delegates erupted into a burst of suspicion, they did not expect the Germans to tear up the peace agreement at this time and brazenly start a war. Count Andráhi shook his head regretfully, so that it was impossible for the Austrian government to side with Bismarck.

Hearing this, Bismarck stood up and picked up the telegram that Napoleon had thrown on the table, and said in amazement, "This is impossible, the Prussian army will not disobey orders!" ”

However, it was clearly written in black and white that Frederick Karl launched a new attack on the fortress of Metz, and the Rhine army suffered heavy losses, and strongly accused Prussia of treachery.

Napoleon sneered and said, "Keep your eyes open and see clearly, the facts are in front of you!" ”

"You treacherous villains!"
