C2723 Memorandum (2/2)
Gladstone was a fool, all his diplomatic efforts were for naught!
Not just the Belgium and Luxembourg, the entire German Federation was denouncing the French Emperor. The Netherlands and the Belgium had once been the same nation, and although they had been separated, their relationship was still very close.
The people protested and pressed the government for a strong official protest!
In this one memo, the diplomatic siege of Prussia, which had been linked by the entire European diplomatic community, was completely shattered.
Xiao Letian and Bismark, who were at the frontline, had a mutual celebration when they fought each other, and their laughter spread throughout the entire army camp.
”Hahaha …” I'm afraid Napoleon III has already forgotten this memorandum. This idiot is too gullible … ”
”Dear Shaw... This matter can only be started from the time of the Poo War! ”
In fact, before the outbreak of the Poo War, in order to prevent the French from suddenly attacking his back, Bismark had made a very successful deceit against Napoleon III's personality.
Bismark sent a special envoy to meet the French Emperor, in this meeting, the special envoy brought in the Prime Minister's conditions.
With the French neutrality as the condition, Prussia recognized France's claim to the Belgium and Luxembourg, and at the same time ceded the Prussian land west of the Rhine.
French Emperor was an extremely greedy person, and he had an unfathomable amount of confidence in himself! He even thought that the timid Bismark would never lie to him.
He actually swallowed the bait that was placed in front of Bismark.
As a result, everyone could see that in the entire Poo War, France did not send a single soldier, and was completely neutral.
After the battle, the French Emperor had requested for Bismark to fulfill his previous promise, but at this time, Bismark had played it safe!
He asked France for an official memo on the grounds that any plan had to be submitted to the King of Prussia... This is a very sufficient reason. Even if you have so many conditions, we still have to write them down in black and white, don't always make verbal promises!
The French Emperor did not know what was going on, but he had actually provided Bismark with this kind of memo through the official channels.
And with the signature of the French ambassador to Prussia!
This was the evidence that Bismark wanted! The moment he obtained the memo, he immediately turned hostile!
Taking the evidence with black and white characters, he used the reason that King of Prussia had yet to study this issue and began to drag it on!
And after that, the French Emperor was distracted by the rise of the Eastern Hua Tribe and this memorandum was left idle. It was hung in the diplomatic agenda of both countries, unsettled!
From this, it could be seen that Napoleon III was a person with ulterior motives. His diplomacy was riddled with holes and were filled with loopholes!
What was worse was that he was arrogant and conceited. Maybe when he was writing this memo, he had never thought that the Prussian would be able to defeat him in a fight within the borders of France.
At that time, in the French Emperor's eyes, Prussia was as weak as a small white rabbit, so what threat could a small white rabbit pose?
Due to his arrogance, he was not aware of the danger and jumped into Bismark's trap step by step.
This memorandum immediately showed his greedy face to the world. French Emperor could be considered to have turned completely black!
