The third more

The brain circuits of Slavs are different from those of other people, especially when faced with certain important decisions, which are often beyond the imagination of others. For example, Tsar Alexander, at the instigation of Napoleon, actually rejected Bismarck's proposal.

The Bosphorus question is negotiable, as is the cession of Cyprus to Britain, but only the Great Bulgaria Agreement and the question of Bosnia and Herzegovina's ownership cannot be compromised. In the words of Alexander II, they would protect the Slavs of the Balkans to the death, and would never let them fall into the hands of the Germans.

He disguised himself as the guardian of the Orthodox Church, and at the same time increased the goodwill of the Balkan Slavs towards the Tsar.

Having reaped the benefits, the attitude of the British became ambiguous. Disraeli did not have much conflict with Russia in the Balkans, but now it was a contradictory relationship between Austria-Hungary and Alexander II.

Alexander II at this time did not intend to back down, nor did he want Austria-Hungary to gain an inch on the Balkan issue.

The British had relented, and France had no worries about the future, and could appear at the negotiating table openly as an opponent of Germany, and they would resolutely oppose everything that Berlin supported. Bismarck must not be allowed to take advantage of it!

Disraeli decided to sit idly by and stop participating in the negotiations after receiving the benefits. Originally, the historical Treaty of Berlin was not held in Berlin, but switched to St. Petersburg, where Bismarck, Count Andrách, Gochakov and Napoleon met in the Winter Palace.

Napoleon, who had come all the way from Paris, felt a solemn and frozen atmosphere as soon as he stepped into the carriage, and Alexander II arranged the most solemn reception for this meeting, and painstakingly deployed heavy troops, for fear of encountering an accident in Berlin.

Napoleon had barely taken two steps when he saw his old French rival staring at him not far away, his eyes full of vigilance.

Napoleon, however, greeted him without healing, greeting him with a smile, "Hello, Your Excellency Bismarck, long time no see." It is very gratifying to hear that you are back as Prime Minister of Berlin. ”

"There's no need to be pretentious with me, Your Excellency. Everyone knows what you did behind the scenes, but I do admire you, without spending a single soldier forcing King William I to be hospitalized, forcing Berlin to change two prime ministers, this kind of ability I am afraid no one has been able to do before! ”

Although Bismarck was calm on the surface, deep down he wanted to cut Napoleon with a thousand knives.

It was precisely because of his presence that Berlin had to face a passive situation. Originally, he was trying to save a game in this Balkan crisis, but when he appeared here, he knew that this matter was not so simple.

"We deeply regret that King William fell ill. This is not the outcome we want to see, France has been actively looking for cooperation and a way out, we don't have to be enemies......"

"Humph!"

Bismarck, who has always been very prejudiced against France, flicked his sleeves and said that he would no longer pay attention to it and walked forward quickly.

As he passed by Count Andráchy, Bismarck slowed down a little and walked beside him.

"The French are not good at coming, and a clash will definitely break out in the meeting that will take place, and when the time comes, it will be necessary to grit your teeth and threaten Gochakov with war. We are fully convinced that Gochakov, who is already at the end of his crossbow, will not be able to resist the threat of war that we will not be able to withstand. ”

Count Andráhi nodded and said softly, "Don't worry, everything has been arranged, it will definitely be exciting to wait in the conference room, we have to force the other party to have no way back, and the loss is convinced." ”

Now that Count Andráhi had given himself a guarantee, Bismarck no longer feared that the Russians would do something out of the ordinary. Instead, all attention was focused on Napoleon.

He was more difficult to handle than the Slavs, and Bismarck could never figure out what was going on in Napoleon's head.

As expected, at the beginning of the meeting, Count Andráhi took the lead at Bismarck's signal, "St. Petersburg is provoking a war, the Balkans are not your territory of influence, trying to expand your political interests through the expansion of the war, this is challenging the political balance of the European continent!" ”

"We will absolutely not allow such a situation to arise, in any case, regarding the agreement on Bosnia and Great Bulgaria, we will not allow it to enter into force. If the political interests of Austria-Hungary are threatened, we will not hesitate to start a war! ”

"Then you start a war!"

Gochakov said in a firm tone, "St. Petersburg, even if it tries its last strength, will drag you into the quagmire of war. Don't forget, no one has been able to conquer our land since the European War! ”

"I'm afraid it's not okay for Prime Minister Gochakov to say that?"

Bismarck said in a half-yin and half-yang tone, "Don't think we don't know, I'm afraid that your current strength can't even keep yourself, if the Balkans insist on making a move, who of you can stop it?" Even if we sign a treaty with Turkey and annex the Balkans, who will you get? ”

Bismarck spread his hands and said to Count Andrássy, "That is our foundation, even if Austria-Hungary and Germany unite to seize the Balkans, what will you have left but indignant protests and a war that is sure to be lost?" ”

Gochakov was gagged by Bismarck's words.

What the other side said is indeed reasonable, he doesn't need to make a move at all, as long as he robs the Balkans and garrisons heavy troops, no matter how tough the Russians are at the negotiating table, they can't match the military strength of the two countries.

"Listen to me, all of you."

Napoleon suddenly smiled and stood up, stopping everyone's argument, and he looked around at the indignant faces, and said firmly, "If you insist on going on the war, we will accompany you to the end!" Don't think that some countries have won a war and are the hegemons of the European continent? Think about it, the last emperor of the Holy Roman Empire has only been in a coffin for a few years. Forgot? Prime Minister Richelieu is still staring at you every day! ”

As soon as these words came out, the audience fell silent!
