C299 The real Bismark

The first time the Eastern and Western Prime Ministers met, was in King of Prussia's private garden. On the spring and summer when they met, the garden was filled with the fragrance of spring and summer, and when one looked around, they would see beautiful scenery everywhere, but the two great figures did not have the mood to enjoy the beautiful scenery. The two of them were staring at each other without blinking, as though they were competing with their auras.

Big Beard Bismark was already over fifty years old, and he naturally had an advantage in this competition of momentum. His half a century of experience in politics had made him feel like a tyrant, giving him a domineering aura. In the current Prussian Kingdom, Bismark was simply a regent, he already monopolized the military and political power.

There were more than one times in history where Bismark had threatened the king with his resignation, and he had a rule that if a civil servant wanted to meet the king, they had to have him by their side.

Although Bismark was tyrannical, he was a rare genius when it came to governing countries. It was at the stage of his administration that Prussia's industrial process was greatly increased, its military reform was also accelerating, and its diplomacy was doing very well. All the enemies in the three battles for hegemony were led by his nose.

It was because of his outstanding talent that the Prussian royal family endured him until William I's grandson ascended the throne, forcing him to retire. At that time, Bismark would already be 75 years old.

This was a statesman who grew up in power. His eyes were like an eagle's eyes ordering, and his gaze seemed to carry a hook, always wanting to flip open Xiao Letian's heart, and then search through the secrets inside one page at a time. Under this kind of invisible pressure, Xiao Letian could clearly feel that his back was drenched in cold sweat due to being nervous.

However, no matter how much pressure Bismark pressured him with, Xiao Letian would always bite the back of his teeth and push it forward. There was even a light smile on his face, as if what he was facing wasn't a leaked sense of tyranny, but just the spring breeze in the garden.

Xiao Letian was secretly complaining again in his heart, "Damn, I never felt so much pressure when I met Ceng Guofan last time. I thought that Great Marshal Zeng had already cultivated his Overlord's Might to the peak, but I never thought that compared to Bismark today, it would be like a small child meeting a great witch. As expected, he does not live up to his name."

"Don't look anymore, I really can't take it anymore. If there's a slip of the tongue between the two sides, then the negotiations later on will be on the losing end …" Look, old man, you still don't look finished. Your father has no interest in your daughter, so don't put on your father-in-law's face … "

Of course, Bismark did not know that Xiao Letian was silently cursing at him. The shock in his heart was no less than Xiao Letian's. This was truly a shocking young man. He seemed to be only thirty this year? Well, that's what the intelligence reports say. It's unbelievable that someone so young could become a political star in East Asia.

"I have been in the government for so many years, there are very few people who can withstand my powerful psychological attacks. Even Crown Prince Karl found it difficult to stand up against me, why is the Chinese still smiling? I'm becoming more and more interested in that ancient civilization in the East … "

Bismark raised his evaluation of Xiao Letian in his heart, unaware that Xiao Letian's heart was trembling as he started to beat up. If not for the fact that the identity of a Transcender gave Xiao Letian such a strong psychological hint, he would have probably perspired a lot.

The silent confrontation lasted only for three minutes, but Xiao Letian felt as if he had lived for three centuries. When Bismark opened his mouth to speak, he let out a sigh of relief.

"You are a young man that I have a whole new level of respect for. Although my intelligence officer has long told me your age, before we met, I always thought of you as a wise and farsighted middle-aged man. Today, it seems that I was wrong …"

Hearing Bismark's friendly tone, Xiao Letian's smile became even more brilliant. "In front of the Prussian Kingdom, and in front of the overall designer for the revival of the German Nationality, we juniors definitely do not dare to think ourselves as wise and intelligent. All of your experiences since you entered politics, to us, are just like a textbook for entering politics.

This was flattering! She was flattering him without spending any money. In any case, according to Bismark's past achievements towards Germany, this praise was not excessive at all.

Bismark was strolling in the garden with Xiao Letian while holding onto his big beard, occasionally slapping Xiao Letian's soft hand.

Just as the two parties were entering into a friendly atmosphere, Bismark suddenly spoke with a smile on his face, "According to the intelligence, Mr. Xiao is a Chinese? And believe in the Protestantism? Very good, your faith is the same as mine, I am very pleased... I wonder if Mr. Xiao has any plans to marry a European princess? "

Cough cough cough … Xiao Letian was about to say something, but he was shocked by Bismark's words. Half a mouthful of saliva was stuck in his throat.

My god, this old man's thinking is way too fast. He just accepted my flattery three minutes ago and now he wants to use a security agent? Give me a European princess? This was a godly turn of events!

Before Xiao Letian could say anything, Bismark seemed to want to make his shock even more intense.

"Prince Karl, you are marrying a Grand Princess. How about I introduce a princess to you from the British royal family? Mhm mhm, as the number one Prime Minister of Ryukyu Kingdom, this status is barely enough for you … When that happens, we will have the British support you for a while, so we might as well dismiss the Ryukyu King … "

Bismark pinched his big beard, he did not have any intention of stopping, "After controlling the Ryukyu, you still have a very high reputation in the Qing Dynasty, it is not impossible for you to cut off a few independent provinces from the people of the Manchuria … Americans has a good relationship with you, Prussia will support you too. Seeing that you have so much potential, I think he will consider it too … "

The devil, this was the devil that stirred the hearts of the people, Xiao Letian could no longer control himself, his legs even started to tremble slightly. Needless to say, if he had the full support of the European powers this year, it would not be impossible for him to be called king.

Justice and justice were only within the range of the cannons. When the time came, they would take over Taiwan and Qiongzhou, and after a few years of development, they would accumulate enough troops to occupy Shandong and Liaodong Peninsula. They would then attack the Beijing, and after a few battles, they would definitely be able to cripple the main force of the Qing army.

Don't think that the Xiang Army was that powerful. In this era, the army without the protection of the navy was the Crippled Army, and being beaten up was their fate.

Xiao Letian's entire body was swaying, his head was covered in cold sweat, that bit of calmness just now had all been thrown to Java.

Wait? What am I thinking? Why did Bismark's few sentences stir up my emotions? Why did I start thinking along his baton? How could I have believed him? Good boy, can this guy hypnotize people?

After a moment of confusion, a warning bell suddenly rang in Xiao Letian's heart. With a quiver, he was able to guess Bismark's true motive.

At this time, Bismark suddenly laughed heartily. "Hahaha, Mr. Xiao, it's not even summer yet, why is your forehead so full of sweat?"

Sigh … He was still a little inexperienced, and in the end, he was still cut by Bismark. He thought that this battle of momentum was already over, but in reality, Bismark had only played a strategy to slow down the fighting, and it felt like a truce. However, when you lost your focus, you turn your head and use your spear.

Bismark finally saw how Xiao Letian looked as if he was at a loss of what to do. The fifty year old old old politician laughed like a child, making Xiao Letian feel extremely awkward.

Xiao Letian didn't have any other choice but to laugh bitterly. Today, he finally saw a completely different Bismark in history.

This was an old child, the path of the Prussian Kingdom's rise was actually in the hands of an old child, it could be considered a huge secret in the history of recent generations.

"Alright, Prime Minister, you've succeeded in making me misbehave. Your suggestion really did scare me. Right now, I really need a few glasses of grape wine to suppress my shock …" Xiao Letian said with a smile.

"No, no, no. Since you are in Germany, you should try the most delicious beer. German beer is the most delicious beer in Europe... "Hahaha, two cups of fine wine can definitely dissolve the awkwardness just now!"

The old and the young, from now on, their hearts had been completely opened. The negotiations had finally reached the stage where they could confide in each other.

Delicious German beer, a whole wooden barrel, large glasses enough to hold a liter of beer, some beef strips, dried fruit and the like, were placed on the garden's stone table, and the two prime ministers finally opened their hearts to drink.

"Ah …" Beer was still fresh, unlike wine or whiskey, which would take decades to drink. "I have never liked traditional things. In the current era of the major change, the key to national recovery is to strive for change …"

After listening to Bismark's words, Xiao Letian no longer hid anything. He raised his head to drink half a cup of wine, and burped loudly. You're right, the only thing that doesn't change in this world is change. Britain successfully grasped the essence of the first Industrial Revolution, which is why he has the power to form the Royal Navy, and why he can defeat Spain's Armada. "

"It's the same for the current Prussian Germany. If we're just following the rules, there's no hope for this race … Fortunately, I saw the Germany had already entered the fast lane under your command … "

"Germany's telegraph network Channel is already the most developed in Europe, the developed railway network even surpasses France, and there are also many German military industries. I have even seen many revolutionary inventions, such as Mauser's rifle s, which are destined to become the rulers of the battlefield. There will even be huge changes in the way humans fight …"

"How fortunate is the German Nationality? To be able to make such a great change, I firmly believe that the Austria is definitely not a match for the Prussian Germany. Even the France will become your loser sooner or later …"

This time, Xiao Letian was not flattering him. He was talking about Tie Zheng's truth, which was something that truly happened in history.

Bismark looked at Xiao Letian quietly, and suddenly smiled: "Child, do you want to hear my opinion on the rise of our race? Perhaps these will be of great help to you! "
