Chapter 122: Believe it or not, let you be the prince for sixty years!
Today there are still four updates, three chapters are updated normally, and one chapter is added to the monthly pass
In the midst of the scolding of the Parisian crowd, Crown Prince Frederick followed Prime Minister Bismarck, and rolled back to the Prussian base camp in embarrassment, along with Albert of the Kingdom of Saxony and the defeated general Bidenfeldt, and the four people in the carriage had different thoughts, all thinking about the scene that happened in the Tuileries Palace today.
In order to show their respect, the French army also sent a special escort team to send these "noble" prisoners of war all the way to the Prussian army's position.
At this time, the Franco-Prussian army had been fighting in Paris for some time, so the appearance of the French escort did not panic Prussia, and the two sides successfully completed the handover at the border.
The crown prince said in frustration, "We lost. ”
And Prime Minister Bismarck, who was sitting in the car, comforted the depressed crown prince and said, "Your Highness, this is not your fault, it's just that we were calculated." Because I didn't expect that Napoleon had already colluded with the foreign ministers of other countries, I am afraid that this negotiation will be faked. And you did a good job of rescheduling the final termination of the negotiations, which bought us time to turn the situation back. ”
I am afraid that this is the only place where Prime Minister Bismarck can praise Crown Prince Frederick, because Napoleon, who is well prepared, is beating him throughout the negotiations, and the abilities of the two sides are completely different from the same level.
Crown Prince Frederick looked tired, and for the first time he felt such a strong sense of frustration. And this setback could not be reversed by hard work, and the difference between him and Napoleon was one of talent and strategic vision.
Genius and mediocrity.
Napoleon was a giant standing in the Alps, and he could only look up to the mountains.
Prime Minister Bismarck was also very dissatisfied with Crown Prince Frederick's self-inflicted assertions, and they did not need to negotiate peace in the first place. Even if France transferred 300,000 troops from Army Group South, it temporarily alleviated the encirclement and suppression of Paris. However, Prussia could still use the railroad to transport troops from Germany to the front line through the subsequent riots.
Napoleon's war advantage would not last long, and King Wilhelm would have chosen to negotiate peace rashly, fearing that someone would be slandering him.
After returning to the Prussian base camp, Bismarck met directly with King Wilhelm without resting. The mud on his face and the dust of his military uniform were not even wiped off, and he stood in front of the Prussian king.
"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I failed."
Bismarck, who did not have the courage to look Wilhelm in the eye, said humbly, "It was my mistake that caused the current situation." ”
"If you know, it's good."
Regarding the losses caused by Bismarck's rash advance, King Wilhelm said indifferently, "If it weren't for your capture, we wouldn't have to be passive like this now, and even be countered by the French!" I'm afraid that now the French are laughing at the table for the incompetence of our Prussian army. ”
After reprimanding his old friend, William I turned to look at his son.
Knowing that the storm was coming, Crown Prince Frederick whispered, "I'm sorry, father. I was unable to reach an agreement in the peace talks, and was put on the side of Paris, who used the intervention of Britain, Russia and Austria to try to pressure us. Now the situation at the negotiating table is very passive......"
However, King William only looked at him, then raised his hand and slapped him in the face.
The sudden change overwhelmed everyone present.
King Wilhelm held a telegram from Berlin in his hand, and Crown Prince Frederick's face turned pale for he had Chastrov withhold.
"If it weren't for General Moltke sending another telegram, I really don't know you were doing such stupid things from me! Do you feel that you have the authority to bypass others and issue orders to the German ministers alone? ”
"Remember, I won't die for a day, you will only be the crown prince after all!"
"Believe it or not, I'll make you the crown prince for sixty years?"
After the small actions behind his back were revealed, Crown Prince Frederick's face was gray and he did not dare to speak. He was afraid that his father had really been announcing that he would not abdicate, and that by the time he was crowned king, his days were numbered.
And King William was only reprimanded by his beloved son after all, unlike the immortal old witch of Great Britain in the future, who really forced his son to become the prince of sixty years.
"At this point, the accusations are no longer helpful, we have to think long-term."
Prime Minister Bismarck walked between the two and the mud, and the discord between the crown prince and the king was the most taboo point. Especially a powerful minister like him, who is sandwiched between the two. After the death of King Wilhelm, he was to take charge of his own diplomacy and determine Germany's position on the European continent.
The angry King William slowly calmed down, he just glanced at his son disappretently, and then turned to Prime Minister Bismarck.
"What now?"
"Prussia met a real opponent. Their military methods are comparable to Napoleon's, and his foreign policy and methods are more like the monster that destroyed the German Confederation and allowed us to postpone unification for more than a hundred years. ”
Bismarck muttered to himself, "The leader of Paris is a Richelieu in the garb of Napoleon." ”
While the Prussian base camp was in a gloomy fog, Paris was unexpectedly peaceful under the city.
The Tuileries Palace hosted a ball between diplomats, and just as the Slavs liked to settle their differences and problems with vodka at the wine table, it was usually at the ball that diplomats from Western European countries reached agreements, so the leaders and foreign ministers of the 19th century needed not only political skill, but also one of the best dancers.
Napoleon stood in the crowd, talking and laughing. After all, he had also experienced a lot of battles at the beginning, and when he was the leader of the Soviets in his previous life, he had never been to any country in the West. It is not enough to show timidity in such a diplomatic situation.
"Now that Italy has captured Rome and completed its unification, what does His Excellency Napoleon think about this?"
The British minister Russell, apparently gloating, asked, "Does it mean that all the efforts of the First French Empire have been in vain?" ”
Napoleon raised his glass and laughed softly, "Now Paris is in a difficult position to protect itself, I am afraid that after the Franco-Prussian War, Great Britain does not need to worry that France will pose a threat to you, because a new enemy is rising, Bismarck has the most powerful military force in the whole of Europe, and even we have to avoid it." Oh yes, I heard that the independence movement broke out in Ireland in May this year, is it considered an internal and external trouble for the British Empire? I heard that the repeal of the Corn Laws and the colonial plunder caused nearly a million deaths in Ireland in five years. ”
Britain's pre-famine colonial plundering policies, turning a blind eye to the famine, and even allowing Ireland to export large quantities of grain in retrograde ways culminated in what is considered "the greatest catastrophe between the Thirty Years' War and the Second World War in Western Europe."
And this tragedy directly contributed to the awakening of the Irish national independence movement.
As a result, the British Minister Russell awkwardly diverted the topic, obviously not wanting to discuss this matter more.
Napoleon only smiled lightly, and the glasses touched.
In the eyes of others, the two are like old friends who have known each other for many years, but only the parties know what each party has in mind. The British switched their brains on the question of the French colonies, and Napoleon did not mind at all that the Irish Republican Army was formed half a century earlier.
Russian Foreign Minister Gochakov kept his eyes on Napoleon, and he tried to look for opportunities for private communication between the parties, since France promised them to remain silent on the issue of the Black Sea.
"Your Excellency Napoleon."
Gochakov walked up to him and said in French with a thick Russian accent, "I wonder when you will raise the question about the London Channel Agreement." ”
Napoleon turned his head to look at the impatient Gochakov, and said with a smile, "When Bismarck appears at the negotiating table, not only will the issue of the Treaty of London be negotiable, but even the Ottoman Empire will have something to discuss." ”
Gochakov's eyes lit up, the previous Western European powers had always held an attitude of supporting the Ottoman Empire, and made trouble in the backyard of the Russian Empire, including the Crimean War of the British and French forces, and Britain was worried that Russia's strength was too strong, so it joined forces with Napoleon III to start a war.
Gochakov couldn't wait to ask, "You mean that France no longer supports the Ottoman Empire?" ”
Napoleon smiled slightly, "We are no longer interested in the Oriental question, and as for whether you have the determination to retake Constantinople and recover the Third Rome, we do not want to get involved." ”
Since the Franco-Prussian War, France has always pursued a low-key approach in international politics and has not casually participated in the political affairs of other countries. Napoleon believed that although the Third Republic was an incompetent government ruled by bourgeois waste, the French strategy was very correct, and they could not influence Europe through their own strength, so it was better to run their own colonies of one acre and three points.
In any case, seven years later, in the 10th Russo-Turkish War, the Ottoman Turkish Empire would completely decline, losing Romania and Serbia.
Gochakov has already received a satisfactory answer, and naturally understands how to negotiate next.
After dealing with this group of cunning opponents with all kinds of evil intentions, Napoleon exhaled and looked at the laughing banquet hall with a gloomy expression.
The European powers will all rejoice in the benefits they are about to gain, and an unrelated Franco-Prussian war will more or less solve the political dilemmas they face.
"So far, only Bismarck is qualified to be my opponent."
"Everything else is a bunch of waste."
