"Lokes, at this moment, our enemies in the east and west are experiencing various problems. Now is our opportunity for Prussia to show its strength. This opportunity is simply a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for us in Prussia. At this time, we should
In terms of military expansion and preparation for war, as long as the situation changes suddenly, it will be a good opportunity for Prussia to rise to the top, but now you want to oppose it, what are your intentions?"
Faced with William's accusation, Rocks stood up calmly, straightened his clothes and said:
"Your Majesty, Prussia has indeed achieved great results under your leadership, but these achievements cannot blind you. Yes, the intelligence sent back from France and Russia shows that there are signs of riots in these two countries.
.But this cannot be a reason for us to expand our armaments and prepare for war. What we should do most now is to develop our Prussian social welfare and devote ourselves to the construction of our Prussian people's livelihood, rather than investing all the wealth accumulated by the country's hard work.
In the bottomless pit of the army!"
Regarding the expansion of the Prussian army, the conflict between William and Rocks has reached a fever pitch. It is obvious that both of them have the same purpose, which is to make Prussia stronger, but in terms of ideology, the two people's thoughts
Completely polar opposites.
To put it in detail, there is nothing wrong with the ideas of William and Locks. The civil strife in France and Russia is indeed a time for Prussia to make profits. By taking advantage of the internal turmoil in the two countries, Prussia can calmly stir up trouble in them.
The outbreak of riots means that factories in the two countries cannot produce with peace of mind, and farmers cannot farm with peace of mind. This is Prussia's opportunity. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Prussia can dump its products to France and Russia.
Use the turmoil in the two countries as the basis for Prussia's capitalist industry to take off.
On the other hand, a powerful Prussian army will also have a great impact on the pattern of the entire Europe. While France and Russia are experiencing domestic turmoil, a powerful and large Prussian army can definitely win more territory for Prussia.
Interests. When both countries have no time to take care of Prussia, Prussia can take advantage of your illness and kill you to snatch the interests of the two countries. For example, France's North American colonies and Russia's Russian Poland region, these interests can be completely taken care of when the two countries have no time to take care of themselves.
Seize it from both countries, but the prerequisite for seizing the benefits is that Prussia's army is large enough.
It can be said that there is no essential conflict between William and Rocks. Both of them are European-style in order to realize the power of Prussia. However, there are differences between the two in the means of doing things.
"As the old Prime Minister of Prussia, Locks, your idea is indeed correct. But Locks, you have to know that this world is a world of the weak and the strong. Even if we develop our Prussian capitalism to the extreme, what will happen?
Isn’t it a coveted piece of fat? You have to know that our army is the only capital that Prussia has in the world!”
As he said that, William looked at Rocks with some excitement. At this moment, in William's opinion, Rocks who was obstructing his actions was so annoying. William even had some bloodthirsty thoughts in his heart, but this idea just popped up.
Then William forced him down.
Faced with William's eloquence, Locks was speechless, but he was not ready to give up his persistence. Looking at the stubbornness on William's face, Locks understood that the conflict between him and William would end with today's events.
become clear.
It is undeniable that William has always been full of respect for Rocks, and Rocks is not a proud and arrogant person. At least on the surface, the two of them can be said to respect each other as guests, and they are simply exemplary kings and prime ministers.
But only William and Rocks knew that as William grew up, they had more and more different opinions on the handling of national affairs. As they grew older, William became more and more exposed as a military person.
The idea of dominance, in Locks' view, is extremely dangerous.
Although it seems that Prussia is one of the five major powers in Europe, Locks knows that among the five major powers, Prussia has the shortest history, the shallowest foundation, and the thinnest capital. It seems that Prussia's performance in the Seven Years' War was very impressive.
It was tough, but anyone who had experienced it knew that it was a miracle that Prussia could survive it at that time.
It is precisely because of the Seven Years' War that Rocks did not want the next generation of Prussians to experience the same cruel test as himself. He hoped to build a peaceful, happy, and perfect Prussia. This idea grew as Rocks grew older.
It became more and more intense in his mind.
But this somewhat unrealistic idea obviously conflicts greatly with William's idea.
If Rocks is like the fading sunset, longing for a happy and happy life. Then William is as full of vigor as the sun at nine o'clock in the morning. What he longs for is hard work and progress. What William hopes is to build Prussia into the first continental country.
A powerful country desires to conquer, conquer, and conquer again!
And as William grew up, he felt that his orders always encountered invisible obstacles in the government, thus reducing the execution of orders. Once, twice, three times, as the number of times increased, William already felt
Growing impatient, he hoped that the Prussian government would be completely under his control, and that his orders would be implemented without delay in the government.
In William's view, although the Prussian government under Lockes was still under the control of the royal family, it had become decrepit. This government was becoming as decrepit as the people in power. This was very important to William, who was only 19 years old this year.
It's simply intolerable.
William is eager to change, but this change is bound to conflict with Rocks. This is inevitable between the two people. The two ideas are destined to be unable to coexist. Because in William's view, Prussia will always be the only one.
You need a voice, and that is your own voice!
"Lokes, Your Excellency, since you do not support it, I think it is better for us to decide in another way. I propose to convene a meeting of the Prussian nobles at the end of November this year. At that time, these bills will be submitted to all the nobles for decision.
, we the people of Prussia will decide the future of our Prussia!"
After saying that, William stood up and walked towards the door not far away, leaving Rocks alone in a daze. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian.com)
