Chapter 1155 Bismarck is also a shit-stirring stick (third update, please subscribe)
1883 years.

For the world, this year seems to be very calm, but a storm is brewing in the calm.

In the past ten years, although the whole world and Europe have experienced an unimaginable change.

Everything is changing, ranging from changes in the way intelligence is collected by countries to the relationship between countries.It seems that from then on, the world was divided into the old age and the new age.

What is the symbol of this era of change?

Is it marked by Russia's occupation of Constantinople?
No.

It should be based on the establishment of the "Alliance of Four Emperors" and the establishment of the "Four Kingdoms Agreement".

Almost from the day Britain, the United States, Germany, and Italy signed the treaty establishing the Quadruple Alliance, confrontation was inevitable in Europe.

On the road to confrontation, what will it eventually lead to?
Is it war?
Or peace?

I'm afraid only God knows.

At the end of 1883, at the Berlin railway station, a luxury train slowly drove out of the railway station with smoke.

The passenger in the car was none other than Bismarck, Prime Minister of the German Empire, who was invited to visit Constantinople.

The Roman Empire is alive again!
But it was not Western Europeans who revived the Roman Empire, but a group of barbarians from Eastern Europe...

"Tear out the skin of a Russian and you will find the soul of a Tartar!"

Sitting in the luxurious carriage, Bismarck said to himself.

In the past few hundred years, it was the Prussians who had the most contacts with the Russians. Bismarck was deeply touched by the brutality, capriciousness, and valuing profit over righteousness of the Russians. Of course, this is also the reason why he will visit Russia.

No, there is no Russia in this world anymore, only the Roman Empire. Although Europeans are unwilling to recognize this so-called "Roman Empire", so what?

More than 2000 million square kilometers of land, from Asia to Europe, from the Arctic to the Mediterranean Sea, close to [-] million people.

These figures are enough to make any European country shudder.

And what made Bismarck even more headache?
It is this country that stands on the opposite side of Germany, and it doesn't feel good to be flanked by Russia and France.

If it's just uncomfortable, things will be easier to say.It is not just uncomfortable for the country, but this situation will lead to the demise of the country if one is not careful.

"Hope this trip goes well!"

As the train moved, Bismarck looked again at the gifts he had prepared for the greedy Russians.

What kind of gift is this?

Looking at the gift in front of him, Bismarck smiled coldly, and the conversation with the emperor appeared in his mind.

"Your Majesty, as we all know, the Russians are greedy. Even if they put on the cloak of the Roman Empire, it will not change their greedy nature. I think it is time to take advantage of the greed of the Russians and convert them from the French. pulled down from his chariot?"

As the emperor, William I still trusted Bismarck as before. He looked at Bismarck and said,
"Count, tell me what you think. Is there any hope of resolving our present predicament?"

Germany, which was flanked by France and Russia, was like a boxer bound by his hands. He didn't dare to move easily. Even when he signed the "Quadruple Entente", he hesitated and considered for a long time. There is no other reason. Afraid of being blown up by France and Russia.

Prussia and Russia once split up the big wave together.He himself doesn't want Germany to be the target of being bombarded by both mouths and chrysanthemums.

"There's a lot of hope...actually a little bit more hope than I thought!"

Count Bismarck then expressed his thoughts one by one.

"What...you mean, from now on, we only import oil from France? My count!"

Before Earl Bismarck finished speaking, Emperor William I began to yell.

"Are you sure this is your way? If we do this, it will definitely cause dissatisfaction in Russia, count, shouldn't we be friendly to Russia now? By being friendly to Russia, tear them off the French chariot Besides, we need to import millions of tons of oil every year, which is tens of millions of marks. Isn’t it helping our enemies when we import oil from France? The French will never forget the shame of our invasion of Paris! "

After that battle with the French, I got nothing but hatred for Germany.

"That's true, that's why we need to break the alliance between France and Russia. In fact, we don't have many ways."

Bismarck frowned, then replied,
"For now, the alliance between France and Russia has not undergone fundamental changes, so we need to create conflicts between them, but what can we do? Where are the conflicts between them? We To find it..."

"Oh? Is it oil?"

Emperor William I was a little surprised,
"You mean oil? Both of their countries have oil fields, and their export is their contradiction?"

"That's it, Your Majesty."

Count Bismarck nodded slightly,

"According to the current situation, in the relationship between Russia and France, the common interests between them are not as much as we imagined. Even the "Alliance of Four Emperors" is based on interests, and it is bound to be divided because of interests. The biggest interest is Turkey, and they formed a community of interests by dividing up Turkey. In terms of Turkey's division, the Russians occupied the most land and the largest population. What about France? What did they get? Maybe not the most land, But it is the richest - the oil in Mesopotamia! Like a steady stream of cows, France has benefited a lot from it, but what has Russia, which has sent the most troops, gained? Tens of millions of fierce resistance How could they not be envious of the unexpected gains of the French? So, what we need is to intensify the contradictions between them and create conflicts as much as possible..."

"Is it through the import of French oil?" Emperor William I lit his pipe, his face full of confusion. He really couldn't figure out what the necessary connection was.

"market……"

As he spoke, Bismarck glanced eastward, as if looking at Russia.

"Russia's oil is their most important export commodity. Their domestic demand for oil is not high. Their oil is heavily dependent on the European market. If we increase French oil imports, the French will increase their production." , and Russia? Where do they export their excess oil? Britain?"

Count Bismarck pursed his lips.

"We will continue to increase imports of French oil together with the British, and Russia will gradually find that their oil exports are decreasing, and they will find that the French have made huge profits on oil, but what about them? ? Their profits are decreasing. At this time, all we need is to lure them to look at Mesopotamia, when it can bring hundreds of millions of rubles in return every year, Your Majesty, that greedy polar bear , will extend its claws to Mesopotamia..."

The train continued to run, but Bismarck's eyes were cold. At this moment, he seemed to see the moment when the whole of Europe was stirred by him...
