C2494 I am a man alone! (1/2)

The elites who were truly in charge of the governance of a great country, their thoughts were deep and their plans were grand. It was unimaginable for ordinary people.

For the sake of Prussia's revival, for the sake of the unification of the Germany, for the sake of defeating the France and turning Germany into a powerful nation of the continental Europe, Bismark had developed a series of strategic plans that were so complicated that it was hard to imagine!

There was no need to mention the Pudan War and the meticulous plans that the Poo War s had. Just from the efforts that Bismark had made in the war against France, ordinary people would not be able to understand it.

The purpose of starting a war was to end it under his control. In other words, the purpose of starting a war was to end it, and during the process of reaching their desired goal, they would become the most successful strategist.

Bismark was definitely not a war maniac! Don't look at the fact that he had the title of a Prime Minister Iron-Blood, he actually didn't have a good fight in his heart!

Iron blood was just a facade, war was just a means to an end!

In fact, in the real history, after the end of the Franco-Prussian War, Bismark became a thorough anti-war activist.

He was opposed to any foreign wars being waged by the Germany, especially the series of overseas expansion of the William II and the strategy of trying to compete with the British for hegemony.

Bismark was a person who had his feet on the ground. He knew when to fight, and when to hide.

Why did he have to go to war with the French? Bismark knew very well that France was the biggest obstacle to the unification of Germany.

Although the Austria had prohibited Prussia from unifying the north and south German Federation, they had already been defeated. Now, the only country that could affect the unification process of the German Federation was France.

Defeating France would eliminate the greatest interference from a unified process, and defeating France would also greatly stimulate the pride of German Nationality!

A sense of national pride was truly a heaven-defying divine tool! Only with a sense of national pride could a divided States with the same language and culture come together, and other citizens of the States would admire Prussia from the bottom of their hearts.

The ultimate human desire is to pursue a better life! Prussia had to be the strongest in order to give hope to the people of the States, and others could only fall into your embrace.

Defeating the France would give an extremely clear signal to the entire German Nationality.

We in Prussia are the most powerful. Following us is the equivalent of following safety and happiness!

The second main reason was that France itself had a territorial ambition towards many of the States s in the Germany. If Bismark could force France to take the initiative to fight, then all the citizens of the Southern German Federation would join hands out of fear. They would all fall into the arms of Prussia out of fear.

The benefits of this war with France were countless. Not only were these two things, but the third could also satisfy the British policy of checks and balances on the mainland.

In order to support Prussia in this war with the French, the British would have to give countless practical benefits. Not only would they be able to provide military assistance, but they would also be able to share some military technology, and Prussia's limited maritime trade would be expanded under the care of the British.

It was a rare historical opportunity for Prussia to form a strategic alliance with Britain, or even a decade of friendly and peaceful development.

How did the destiny of a weak country break through? The truth was that they had carefully slipped through the shadows of many powerhouses, taking advantage of their carelessness, their carelessness, and the flaws in their battle. Their keen senses allowed them to seize the opportunity and pass by.

By the time the major powers reacted, it was already too late. If the weak countries wanted to rise up, it was nothing more than a scam.

The fourth benefit was that the rich France had plenty of money in her pockets! After the war, the war reparations will definitely make the victor smile from ear to ear.

However, compared to the strategic benefits from the previous ranking, war reparations were ranked last.
