”Don't worry, my Count. Bismark is not an idiot, he understands how powerful the France is. All he does is to show off his strength in front of the world so that he can suppress the waves of opposition in the country!”
Napoleon III tapped the table and said in a disdainful tone, ”The current strategic goal of this group of Prussian is to unify the Germany, unify those loose little States. This is the true root of their militaristic strategy …”
”The second point is, Prussia hopes to get the support of Britain. They want to turn themselves into a fierce hound, arrogantly roaring at us France, and then exchange us for a few British bones!”
”Those Englishman s always want to play the game of balance third place and second place. They want to support the evil dog, Prussia, and then drag down the strength of our France so that we can increase the gap between first place and second place!”
”There will be no war. Isn't Prussia afraid of the extermination? Just with his weak national power, he will collapse in less than half a year! ”
After all, he was born in the military, so he had some basic military qualities. He carefully smiled and said, ”Your Majesty, I will have to prepare two hands in advance …” After all, based on the Pudan War and the research on the Poo War, the Prussian Army is indeed extraordinary! ”
”Their individual equipment is very advanced, the railway network in the country can also quickly move their troops, at the moment they are temporarily stopping the surge at the border, I'm afraid that it doesn't mean anything …” If they were to use the railway network with all their might, I'm afraid that within two to three days, there will still be hundreds of thousands of people rushing over! ”
”Heh heh, don't worry, my general! Do you think I'm a rookie on the battlefield? ”I've also fought in the past, and during the diplomatic negotiations, I was also nervously preparing for war. As of now, the overseas colonies have already sent back 100,000 elite soldiers, and all of the large military factories in the country have started to do their best to produce them. The military's orders have all been sent back to the year after next …”
However, when he saw how excited French Emperor was, he did not dare to continue splashing water on him.
The Franco-Prussian crisis had been going on for more than a year. Only a hundred thousand troops had been transferred from overseas? The original plan set by the military department was to send back 250,000 veterans a year, but why was it only sent back 100,000?
And what about the orders for the weapons factory? What do you mean later in the year? Did the military think that war would not break out from the beginning?
There was nothing wrong with Montaubon's guess. The French had assumed that Prussia was actually using the military to blackmail the France. Their goal was to obtain some benefits from the negotiating table.
However, in the face of the stubborn and headstrong Napoleon III, many people did not dare to say anything, as the temper of the French Emperor for the past few years had become increasingly unfathomable.
”Alright, my Count, let's return to Xiao Letian. I want to hear your suggestion.
”Through my observation from the time I was in London, I personally think that it would be difficult to kill Xiao Letian with a sneak attack or assassination!”
”The Queen really values this diplomatic visit too much. For the Eastern Emperor to personally visit London, this kind of event that will forever be recorded in the annals of history, the British definitely will not take it lightly!”
”So no matter if the relationship between Britain and Xiao Letian is good or fake, at least while he's in Europe, the United Kingdom will definitely provide him with full protection!”
”Damn it! Am I going to just watch him slip away from my sight?” Napoleon III roared in fury.
