C299 The real Bismark (1/2)

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 … ”
