5. Germany (4)

"The Holy Roman Empire stretches to this day, I don't know how many years," in fact, the Queen Mother didn't know how many years at all, so she just used words like many years, "The empire that unified the Western European continent has finally seen the dawn of revival, and your country's Shenwu Emperor and the wise Prime Minister have joined forces to create the glory of the German Empire, but if you want to maintain it, the Prime Minister thinks that this glory, the glory of three battles and three victories, can be delayed until when?" ”

"Queen Mother, what do you want to say?" Bismarck said calmly.

"The war of reunification offended almost all the neighboring countries, of course, of course, for the reunification of the country, this must be done, just think that China has also offended Britain, France and Russia, and the issue of sovereignty cannot be discussed, only iron and blood can be used. The situation in your country is not calm now, is it? ”

"Your Highness, you are very well informed," Bismarck's eyes showed a deep disdain, "every country has contradictions. ”

"But can the Prime Minister really keep the contradictions under control?" The Queen Mother said leisurely, "Everyone is a clear-eyed person, don't tell lies and polite words, I know that the Germans are the most pragmatic, and China has just developed a little, so I'll tell the truth, I have no intention of expanding abroad, just want to develop the country, which I believe and the Prime Minister must maintain the same point of view." "The Germans were eager to quietly digest the coal mines of Lorraine and Alsace, where they had time to take care of their business.

"A China thousands of miles away, of course, will not have any territorial disputes or conflicts of core interests with your country, nor will it have the ability to coordinate with each other, which I know very well, but the two countries have common goals and enemies, so why not work together and work together?" The Queen Mother smiled, "I'm here to do business, and I like everyone to make money together." The Queen Mother stood up and stretched, "I'm a little tired today, if there is any formal deal, please talk to my foreign minister, and I also trust the ambassador in your country very much, so you can communicate with it." ”

Bismarck got up, sent the Queen Mother out, turned his head, and looked at the calm Qinghai, "What do you mean by your country?" ”

"Queen Mother, what are you coming to Germany for?" The Queen Mother was in the living room looking through the requirements sent by the domestic telegram, and Gao Xinkui asked on the side, "I came to the UK, first, to make friends with the British upper class, second, to buy weapons and machines such as warships, and third, to be able to do foreign affairs among the foreigners on the Internet." But why come to Germany? Wechen was a little puzzled. ”

"If he can defeat the French, it's worth coming," the Queen Mother put down the booklet in her hand, there was basically nothing to do in the country, Prince Gong was hereditarily replaced, the Military Aircraft Department was still the same, and the emperor handled government affairs very safely, the Queen Mother was relieved, raised her head and said to Gao Xinkui, "You know, a few years ago, the French dared to drive warships to threaten us." ”

"Then the queen mother means to come to Germany and seek an alliance with the Germans against the French?"

"Yes, the Germans have gained a lot of money, and they are trying to preserve the fruits of their victory, so even if we can't help much, we can help them drag the French back in the Far East. I also want to buy some German munitions facilities, I don't need to continue to buy muskets and cannons now, I need to manufacture equipment and manufacturing systems," the Queen Mother said, "It is better to buy eggs than to buy hens and lay eggs yourself, once and for all." ”

"The British have a saying, Weichen thinks it is reasonable, the armament of foreigners is good, but if we want to make it ourselves, we still can't." Guo Songtao said that he had already arrived from France, and looking at his face, it seemed that he had not gained much.

"It's not enough," Gao Xinkui said, "but we can learn, this learning, but also save countless detours, get started directly, learn the best things of foreigners, the British refuse to give us things, we ask other countries to buy, can't buy first-class, second-rate and third-rate can also be, it can't be defective and obsolete." ”

"That's right," the Empress Dowager Cixi said with a smile, "I'm going to go out for a trip, it's not easy to travel at public expense, so I have to go to a few more countries, if it weren't for the arrogance of the French who refused my request to visit, I would still like to go to see the Palace of Versailles, if only I could be crowned there," the Empress Dowager snapped her fingers, "The Empress Dowager of the Qing Dynasty of China is extremely noble, the island in the South China Sea, the East China Sea, the Yellow Sea, and the protector of East Asian countries, how about this title?" Kindness? ”

Tang Wufu hurriedly patted his ass, "The Queen Mother is not worthy, who is worthy?" If you want me to say that if you want to be crowned in Versailles, you must add another, and the ruler of France is excellent! ”

The Queen Mother laughed, "If there is a day, I will burn the Louvre!" ”

"Always have to cooperate with the Germans, other countries, are very arrogant, only such emerging countries can be able to talk about cooperation on an equal footing, dealing with the French is one thing, there are other things," the Queen Mother pointed to the east, "There are other people to deal with!"
