"Although your country has no intention of confronting the British," said the pragmatic Bismarck, who had gone away, and the pragmatic Bismarck, who had not taken care of the Chinese guests, immediately began the meeting, and the Queen Mother said with a smile, "but it is undoubtedly true that your country has become the new hegemon of the European continent."

"We are only here to unify Germany," Bismarck frowned, "to guarantee the interests of the German Empire." ”

"Of course, of course, I am not provoking the relationship between your country and any other country, but, you know, the European continent is so big, you are strong and occupy more resources, other countries will be reduced, geopolitics is like this, I heard that your country does not have the intention of expanding colonies overseas, so to speak," the Queen Mother continued, "is your country preparing to develop on the European continent?" ”

Bismarck did not deny it, but said in a hard way, "The stability of the European continent is the foundation of Germany's stability." ”

"Of course, stability in Asia is also the foundation of China's stability," the Queen Mother said with a smile, "I heard that His Majesty the Emperor was enthroned at Versailles in France?" So in the future, your country will have to guard against France as the first priority? I look at the situation in Europe, on the European continent, only your country, France, and Britain can be called powerful countries, and nothing else is worth mentioning, Britain is an island country, and he does not care about the territory on the mainland, as long as the balance of power is maintained, which is also determined by their policy of glorious isolation, so, in the final analysis, the situation in Europe, that is, the relationship between your country and France, right? ”

"You're right."

"Your country has taken Alsace and Lorraine, and has received so much money, this is a very fatal thing, is your country not afraid of the French revenge in the future?"

"Germany is not afraid of retaliation from any country." Bismarck said lightly, this woman from the Far East thought that she wanted to seek some benefits just by relying on a few words, which was too underestimating herself.

Empress Dowager Cixi laughed, "Of course, I believe that the Germanic nation is not afraid of any retaliation, I don't know if your country knows the history of China, in BC, there is a country, which is the richest country in the core region of the Central Plains, he should become the end of an era and unify China, but because the geographical location is too poor, it is in the land of four wars, there are enemies on all sides, there is no barrier from the sea, this country is gradually dying out in the war of aggression that resists everywhere, I say this, I just want to remind your country, The same is true of your country, with Austria-Hungary in the south, France in the west, Tsarist Russia in the east, and Britain on the sea. ”

"What does that have to do with your country?" Bismarck asked rhetorically, "Is your country, thousands of miles away, also preparing to raise troops and besiege the German Empire?" ”

"No, no, no, I didn't mean that," the Queen Mother shook her head, "I hope to form an alliance with your country, develop together, and jointly resist the unpredictable risks of the future!" ”

At this time, it was only an informal meeting, and the chancellor only brought his own foreign minister, the leader of the army, who was called the three heroes of German reunification: Ron and Moltke were not present, "I need the consent of the army to form an alliance," Bismarck said coldly, "and we are ready for an alliance with Russia and Austria-Hungary, and there are no plans for the Far East at present." ”

This is a very tactful refusal, the Queen Mother is not angry, continued to smile and said, "I just said to my ambassador this ancient saying of the Chinese, called distant friendship and close attack, that is, the distant country is suitable for friendship, the near country is the object of attack, I have never heard of three countries bordering the border can reach an alliance, this situation, everyone knows very well, it will not last long, Austria-Hungary and the Russians have interests in the Bagan Peninsula, between your country and Russia, there is only one Grand Duchy of Poland, The rolling plains of Central Europe are not in the way, and your country borders Austria-Hungary, both of which were the largest principalities of Germany in the past, not to mention that there will be wars in the future, of course, we all know that the Prime Minister did this to isolate France, for fear of being attacked on the back, and this method is of course correct, and I am happy to see the French unlucky. ”

"It seems to me that isolating France, preserving the status quo in Europe, and guaranteeing the security of the German Reich," Bismarck said, "and German-Russian relations are the basis of German diplomacy, and if your country wants to deal with the Russians in the Far East, we will not be on your side." ”

The Empress Dowager Cixi's heart was shocked, but her face did not move at all, "When did I say that I was going to deal with the Russians, the Prime Minister laughed." ”

"In the Triple Alliance, Austria-Hungary and Germany have no interests in the Far East, who else do you want to deal with but Russia?" Bismarck smiled.

"No, no, no, China is a friendly country, and has no intention of dealing with any country," the Queen Mother quickly explained, "but we have the same past as the German Empire, and our rule has been threatened by foreign countries, and, I think, our two countries are new countries!"
