Chapter 1094: Convincing Bismarck (1)
"Mr. Bismarck, are you saying that the three great powers of Britain, France and Russia will stop us?"
Moltke on the side was shocked and asked hesitantly. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Bismarck nodded and replied, "This is inevitable, otherwise, what do you think I have been compromising with countries for the past two years?" Because we need the three great powers to remain neutral in the Austro-Prussian war and stand on the sidelines. If we only defeat Austria and unify all the other German states under Prussia, this is still within the tolerance range of the three great powers, and once we want to take Austria or Hungary into our pockets, the three great powers will definitely not sit idly by! Especially France, they will never allow an existence on the European continent that can compete with them, even more powerful than the French Empire, and they will definitely send troops to intervene! ”
"Even so, so what?"
Crown Prince Wilhelm shouted: "Mr. Prime Minister, we are not afraid of France, the strength of the French Empire is only 500,000, and we now have more than 600,000 people in Prussia, why should we be afraid of France?" Even the British Empire, their advantage is on the sea, and the European continent is not a place for them to show their prestige! Once we take possession of Austria, then we will surpass France and England in terms of population and territory, and this is our only chance to dominate the world. ”
Bismarck frowned tightly, everyone here is an extremely tough hawk, in fact, isn't he also a hawk? It's just that they are too narrow-minded and occupy Austria? The risk brought by that Prussia is too great, once it fails, it will become a disaster for Prussia, under the strong squeeze of various powers, the whole Germany fell into a more chaotic division is reasonable, and if you want to unify Germany, you don't know that you have to wait until the Year of the Monkey!
"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, it's not that I don't want to occupy Austria, but the time is not yet ripe, it is very immature, we do not have the strength to resist the joint intervention of the three major powers that may come alone, if the three countries jointly send troops, plus the strength of Austria, we will be left with no bones! How powerful the First French Empire was decades ago under the leadership of Napoleon, the artillery was invincible, and it was not still in the face of the situation of the joint dispatch of troops by various powers, it collapsed and sank into the sand, and finally defeated Waterloo, do you think that our Prussia is now stronger than the position of the French Empire on the European continent decades ago? ”
Bismarck's words were sharp, down to the point!
Forehead......
William was speechless when he was speechless, and now Prussia surpassed the French Empire during the Napoleonic period? If you think about it with your ass, you know it's impossible!
"Bismarck, are we really going to give up this great opportunity? This time our strength is far above Austria, originally there was no heavy machine gun of the Chinese Empire, we still have a great chance of winning, now it is different, we can completely kill Austria like a storm......"
William I said helplessly.
"Your Majesty, we need to be responsible for the future of Germany, this risk is too great! I don't think we have the absolute strength to stand up to Britain, France and Russia! ”
Bismarck replied.
"Not really!"
Shi Dakai on the side replied lightly, "Mr. Prime Minister, I have to say that your strategic vision is very superb, but the current situation is different, even if you swallow Austria, I think Britain, France and Russia can't help you!" ”
Bismarck's eyes flashed, and he was a little dissatisfied with Shi Dakai's words, this is an internal affair of Prussia, although you were invited by us to participate in military affairs, you can't interfere so deeply!
Bismarck said displeased: "Monsieur Count, what else do you have to say?" ”
Shi Dakai smiled and said: "I can't talk about it, but Mr. Bismarck, first, now your country's military strength has been faintly above France, because your army is equipped with 2,500 heavy machine guns, which France can never have in a short period of time, and in the face of your army's heavy machine gun defense in the west, the French army cannot shake your army's defense line at all; As long as you resist the French attack, you can calmly integrate the entire German Confederation; Second, do you think that once Austria is annexed, the French will definitely intervene, but if you do not annex Austria, the French will not target you? The so-called one mountain does not tolerate two tigers, a European continent, can not accommodate the equally powerful France and Germany, a big war will be fought sooner or later, now your army because of the advantage of heavy machine guns, can barely suppress the French army but, in the next three to five years, the French army will also be equipped with heavy machine gun armament not inferior to your army, your army's temporary advantage will be gone, once a new Franco-Prussian war breaks out, do you think then, how many chances do you have? ”
Bismarck's expression was stunned for a moment, and then he said: "However, after the reunification of Germany, give me three to five years, the strength of the Kingdom of Prussia will be greatly improved, and when the time comes, let it go, who will win and who will lose, no one can predict, but now, we do not have enough economic strength, once the war with France lasts for one to two years, it will definitely drag Prussia down!" What's more, not only the French Empire, but also the British and Russians will not stand idly by! With one against three, Monsieur Count, you think too highly of the strength of our Prussians! ”
Shi Dakai nodded and said, "One against three?" Not necessarily! ”
Bismarck was stunned and said, "Mr. Count, do you think that the Three Kingdoms will allow us to rise calmly and unified?" ”
Shi Da laughed and said: "Let you rise calmly, they are definitely unwilling, but it is not without opportunities; Let's talk about Tsarist Russia first, Tsarist Russia's attention is now not in Europe, but in Central Asia and North Asia, more precisely, they want to annex the vast north of China, rather than go to the hinterland of the European continent to meddle with your affairs, in other words, even if it is, let you attack Tsarist Russia, Mr. Prime Minister, are you willing? Just the thousands of miles of Tsarist Russia is not something that Prussia can control now! So they care more about what they get! Alexander now wants to get the Mongolian Plateau and the Khing'an Mountains, and China and Russia will have a war for the foreseeable period of time in the future, and they will be dragged to the death by us in the North Asian battlefield. Without Tsarist Russia, you can concentrate on dealing with France and England, the British originally pursued a continental balance policy, and they hoped that the European continent could have the strength to balance France, so as to realize Britain's dream of dominating the world for a long time.
