"Two of the three largest empires in the world have opened their arms to our little Prussia. How can I refuse?" Prime Minister Bismarck suddenly sighed, "But there is no free lunch in this world.

Now please tell me your conditions."

"Poland, the condition is Poland." Engels replied with a smile.

"Hahahaha, what else can't be said directly here? I think, Friedrich, you are actually talking about Russia, right?" Bismarck laughed and picked up the glass and drank it down. "The consequences of supporting the Polish revolution.

, it will definitely lead to complete enmity between Prussia and Russia!"

In fact, things like conspiracy rarely play a role in the European diplomatic arena. This is because anyone who can become Prime Minister or Foreign Minister is a human being, and Otto von Bismarck is the best among human beings.

How could he not see through Napoleon III's calculations? France gave Prussia the market and resources it needed most for its industrial development. How could France not let Prussia submit a certificate of surrender? And supporting the Polish revolution and completely turning against Russia was undoubtedly a piece of paper.

The most valuable investment certificate!

"Prussia does not need to be completely hostile to Russia, it only needs to remain neutral in the future." Mathilde looked at Bismarck with a smile, "The German people and His Majesty William I love peace so much. As Prime Minister, you must not bear it.

Let them go on the battlefield against the world’s number one army or navy?”

Bismarck smiled bitterly after hearing this: "Of course I can't bear to shed the blood of the German people, but Russia's anger is not so easy to bear..."

"France and the Ming Empire can provide security guarantees to Prussia and sign a binding treaty." Queen Mathilde immediately promised.

"Uh..." Bismarck didn't know what to say for a moment.

Still signing a mutual defense treaty? Doesn’t this tie Prussia to the chariot of Ming Dynasty and France?

"It's unnecessary. The Tsar's anger does not mean going to war. He is currently troubled by a lot of internal and external troubles. He will not go to war with Prussia." Bismarck declined politely and thought to himself: "Alexander II really

If they take the wrong medicine and start a war with Prussia, the Ming Empire and the Turkish Empire will attack Russia without any need for treaties. Moreover, Prussia has 2

With a standing army of 00,000 and a complete conscription system, its industrial strength far exceeds that of Russia. Even a one-on-one war is a sure win! However, there is no need for Prussia to have a deadly feud with Tsarist Russia. This is meaningless... Right

For Prussia, the most advantageous thing is to stay outside the three-party camp of Britain, France and Russia. It cannot easily get involved in the battle for world hegemony until the most favorable moment."

Of course, the current iron-blooded prime minister has never thought about overthrowing the empire of Napoleon III through a war. This is also impossible! The latest intelligence shows that the French army will deploy defenses in Alsace and Lorraine, using barbed wire.

Trench trenches, reinforced concrete fortifications, machine guns and rear-mounted artillery to resist possible invasion from Germany... At least 200,000 French troops will perform this task on the French-German border. If these 20

If ten thousand people are not enough to kill all the stupid invaders, the French will bring back all their real elite troops from North America - obviously, Prussian military experts are now the same as their American counterparts.

There was nothing that could be done against the "all-powerful defense" French. However, William I and Bismarck had little interest in going to war with Russia. The fertile land in central Europe was what Prussia really needed.

"Of course, Prussia will still support the Congress Kingdom of Poland... Prussia supports the restoration of the Vienna System in Poland." Bismarck said tentatively.

"The Tsar cannot be allowed to concurrently serve as the King of Poland anymore. The history of the past 30 years has shown the fact that the Russians do not regard the Kingdom of Poland as an independent country at all!" Matilde replied.

Then, she paused slightly and added: "Instead of letting the Tsar also serve as the King of Poland, it would be better to let the future Emperor of the German Empire also serve as the King of Poland."

"No, my king has no interest in this!" Bismarck quickly refused.

"Then let Poland become a free republic." Engels quickly picked up the topic. "Now the Polish revolutionaries are ready. As long as we can provide them with weapons and equipment, they themselves can drive away the Russians."

"But the Russians have 100,000 troops in Poland!" Bismarck rolled his eyes and shook his head with a wry smile.

"How many?" Engels was also surprised when he heard this. He had no precise information in this regard and did not expect that the Tsar would station such a huge army in Poland.

Mathilde said very firmly: "We will provide sufficient assistance. France will provide 20,000 rifled guns, 100 12-pound cannons, and 100,000 grenades. We also hope that Prussia can provide the same number of weapons to the Polish revolutionaries."

.

In addition, Prussia also needs to provide 100,000 marks of funding and allow Poles serving in the Prussian army to participate in the Polish revolution in an individual capacity. The Polish Free Corps must also be allowed to enter Poland through Prussian territory."

"That's it."

Bismarck was silent for a moment, seeming to summarize his thoughts.

"Okay, in principle I can agree, but I must sign an agreement on German reunification, a treaty on cooperation between the German Customs Union and France, and of course an economic cooperation treaty between Prussia and Ming Dynasty... When these treaties

After all are signed, Prussia can provide help to the Polish revolution."

…

"In other words, Prussia has almost been won over by Napoleon III, right? It's really unbelievable."

In the Mariaburg in Nanjing, Zhu Jishi, who had just attended the imperial meeting (called the Imperial Court in the Forbidden City), frowned and looked at the copy of the telegram in his hand. "Bismarck and William I are not so easy to deal with, right? They are..."

Zhu Jishi did not go any further and said that the Franco-Prussian War was, after all, something that happened in another time and space.

"Humph, what else can they do? Napoleon III did a great job this time, forcing the Prussians to choose between France and Russia. If they choose France, Prussia will be at odds with Russia. When there is a conflict between Britain and France in the future, Prussia will

You can only choose neutrality.”

Maria Clementina said excitedly: "As long as Prussia is neutral, France will be invincible and can concentrate its efforts on competing with Britain for sea control. Moreover, France also controls the Suez Canal and the Tehuantepec Canal... In the future

The world hegemony must be shared by France and Ming Dynasty."

Zhu Jishi glanced at his beloved concubine, who was beaming with joy, and was also calculating the situation in his heart. The current situation seemed to be obviously beneficial to France and the Ming Dynasty, no, it should be obviously beneficial to France and the Roman Empire... Thanks to himself, Napoleon

The past few years have been smooth sailing for the third generation. From the perspective of the "clown" in history,

"He became the generation of British masters who created the most glorious age of France. Even Marx did not dare to write an article about him. But France, Italy, Mexico, the United Kingdom of Central America, the Confederate States of America, and the Black African Empire still had territory in northern South America.

, why does it always seem like a paper tiger?

"Maria, I don't think the British Empire will be unresponsive, right?" Zhu Jishi suppressed the questions in his heart and first turned his thoughts to the current international situation. The American Civil War has not yet ended, and Napoleon III has aggressively launched a war in Europe.

Diplomacy guide. Who can’t see Sima Zhao’s heart?

"How can they react?" Maria smiled and said, "As long as the two empires of France and the Ming Dynasty stand together, Britain can't do anything to us. This is the biggest advantage of Napoleon III compared with Napoleon I! I think the Prussians

It was only after seeing this clearly that I chose to side with France."

"Is Prussia on the side of France?" Zhu Jishi still didn't believe that Europe's number one thug in history had been taken under the banner of Napoleon III.

Maria smiled and said: "Prussia's neutrality means standing on the side of France! Because on the European continent, there are only two countries that have the strength to fight France, Prussia and Russia, and Prussia's neutrality blocks the Russian West.
