Chapter 217: The Purpose of the Alliance
The second more
The room was so quiet that only breathing could be heard.
Everyone was waiting for the French to tell their secrets.
Chancellor Bismarck made a deferential look and motioned for the other party to continue.
"I'd rather see what the French have to say, and don't try to convince me with rhetoric that I've become immune to your theories. And don't forget that you are the enemies of the royal family of Europe, because the other day Paris expelled all the royal families who ruled France from the country, and they will never be allowed to return! And I have never seen such a cold-blooded president, not even his family. ”
From the very beginning, he clung to the pigtails of the French government, and at every opportunity he began to discredit the French government in front of Frederick III, and to portray them as a group of extreme republicans who were born enemies of the European royal family, including the duplicitous Napoleon.
However, the French foreign minister did not seem to have come to negotiate at all, and as soon as he heard Bismarck start to mock himself again, he immediately countered and said, "That's just a dark idea in your heart, and those who fight monsters will also become monsters, in fact, in Nietzsche's eyes, you are a monster." President Napoleon has always been loyal to the republican system, and if he chooses to leave the Bonaparte family, it will be a betrayal of the French people! ”
Bismarck was speechless for a while, but he didn't expect that he would be completely invulnerable to the foreign minister who was full of mouth cannon skills.
Foreign Minister Dekaz said, "I don't want to quarrel with Chancellor Bismarck today, but if you continue to mess around like this, our conversation will not continue." Presumably King Frederick would have wanted to know what the conspiracy I had just spoken of was. ”
The words of Foreign Minister De Kaz had piqued the interest of King Frederick, who was curious to know what France was planning.
Finally, Frederick III nodded, signaling that the other party could continue.
"It's actually very simple, everyone knows that the most powerful country in the world is not France, not Russia, not Germany, but the British Empire, separated by the English Channel. They have the largest fleet in the world, and the largest colony, and at the same time they control the situation on the European continent, and if Germany wants to rise, it will support France and Russia as countering forces to achieve a dynamic balance. Presumably, everyone has already considered these questions, and they are very aware of each other's methods, so why can't we crack their sinister intentions? ”
Bismarck, who had been dismissive before, slowly restrained his expression after hearing Foreign Minister Dekaz's words.
Frederick III nodded frequently, and he saw the arrogance and arrogance of the British, especially the invasion of Afghanistan and the war provoked in South Africa, which always showed the evil ambitions of imperialist expansion.
And the most important thing is that Germany does not have a vast colony to dump their goods, unlike France, which has reached the level of a Mediterranean colony after decades of expansion.
Germany was reunified too late, so from the very beginning, Germany was tinged with tragedy.
"What does this have to do with Germany's expansion? If it is to rob the colonies, he is not the only country in Europe. ”
"Of course, it starts with robbing the British colonies, think about it, how can you develop if you don't rob their colonies? Do you think that if you sell goods, someone will send you a colony? Don't think about it, if you don't rob it, others won't give it to you. Britain has waged more than 200 wars over the years to maintain its position as the world hegemon. ”
Bismarck retorted, saying, "Then why don't I choose Spain, Portugal and other countries that are easy to bully?" I have to provoke this monster of England! ”
"Of course, you can go with Portugal, like Angola. But these colonies, which were about to gain independence, or countries that were constantly in revolt, were simply not satisfying for Germany. With your current strength, it would take at least one colonial empire to be able to satisfy Germany's industrial development. ”
Bismarck became less and less able to understand Foreign Minister Dekaz's thoughts, and he asked bluntly, "So what do you want to do?" ”
"France and Germany cooperated to reshuffle the world's colonies."
The French bluntly threw out his thoughts, and he calmly said, "Loot Spain, Portugal, and even the British colonies and redistribute the interests of the European continent." Rather than check and balance each other in this way, without getting any benefits, the two sides should kick the guy who restricts the development of the two countries out of the game. Besides, isn't Austria-Hungary now in a-for-tat confrontation with St. Petersburg? Our three countries formed an alliance, and the British had to find an alliance with Russia. What role can the two Axis allies who have been torn apart play? ”
"You're crazy!"
This time, even Bismarck felt that the other party was a little whimsical.
"This is a blatant declaration of war against the British Empire, do you think that our naval fleet will be able to resist their port blockade? And offended so many colonial countries......"
Foreign Minister Dekaz said to Bismarck, "Do you think that the two countries, Germany and France, together will not be able to create a fleet to rival the British?" On land, even three Britains are no match for us, and in the sea, two countries are challenging the order of the old colonial empires, I don't think it's whimsical. And Germany is now building its own fleet, isn't your fleet built against the British? ”
Crazy, this thought is crazy.
Bismarck looked at Foreign Minister Dekaz, he did not know who came up with this plan, the madman Napoleon? This is very much in line with his style, always giving people unexpected surprises and frightening.
Frederick III listened to the words of Foreign Minister Dekaz, but did not hesitate as Bismarck.
As long as he can create a favorable political environment for Germany, he feels that this risk is worth trying.
While Bismarck was still hesitating, Frederick III had already taken the lead and asked, "So, Paris must have thought about what to do, right?" ”
Foreign Minister Dekaz nodded and said, "There are Russians behind the scenes on the Afghan side of the war, and we don't need to do anything." So we can look at the Zulu and Boers. Now the British are intensifying their fight for the Transvaal, and the Boer revolt continues. Shouldn't you just push the boat with the flow? ”
"So that these Brits will have a long memory."
