Chapter 488 Bismarck is the Lover of Peace (Part [-], please subscribe)
"No, there must be no truce!"

When these words came out of Bismarck's mouth, not to mention William I was stunned, even Moltke opened his mouth slightly in surprise, and he didn't recover for a while.

What is he saying?
Can't stop the war?

This is not like Bismarck's style!
God can testify that during the Prussian-Austro-Prussian War, the Prussian army was approaching the outskirts of Vienna and preparing to attack Vienna. The generals said happily, "Our soldiers can't wait to lift up the skirts of the girls in Vienna..." , but at that time the headquarters of the Prussian army, Bismarck tried his best to prevent the march into Vienna. He tried his best to prevent France or Russia from intervening in the war.He even threatened the king with resignation.

In the Prussian-Austro-Prussian War, after the army achieved such a brilliant victory, Bismarck chose to accept such a shameful peace treaty.Why is he unwilling to cease the war when he sees that the situation is extremely unfavorable to Prussia this time?

"My lord, in the war between us and Austria, I fear that if the war is delayed, it will lead to French intervention, or a revolution in the territory of defeated Austria, which will destroy the Prussian plan for the unification of Germany, so I insist on peace talks. .”

Looking at William I who was confused, Bismarck took the initiative to explain.

"But it's different now. We are now the loser. If we talk about peace now, Napoleon III will definitely speak loudly. For the glory of the German nation, we will not be able to cede even an inch of land to them. Fight to the end, or the national pride we have built over the years will be devastated!"

While explaining his thoughts, Bismarck frowned. In fact, since Napoleon III escaped from the Battle of Sedan, he was thinking about how to end this war, and end this war with dignity.

"Yes, we can negotiate peace, but it is absolutely impossible to cede the land, let alone use the glory of Germany to achieve the glory of France."

Mao Qi nodded approvingly.

But William I, as king, felt that they were wishful thinking, and the loser had no room to bargain. When Austria failed, Bismarck would stop the winner's lion from opening his mouth. But when Prussia failed, who would stop it all? ?

William I turned his attention to Bismarck and asked.

"My Prime Minister, what should we do now?"

"Your Majesty, the reason why we are in this situation is entirely because of Nanhua. Without Nanhua's assistance, how could France stop us? Perhaps, in Sedan, the emperor has already been captured by us. This is a well-known fact. For Emperor Napoleon III, he must redeem his honor, honor! The honor of the Bonaparte family is what he cares most about! After all, he was able to become emperor because of this name!"

Taking a deep breath, Bismarck continued.

"If we cease the war now, Napoleon III will definitely open his mouth and ask us to cede land and pay compensation, and use the sacrifice of Germany to achieve his honor. This is inevitable to restore the honor of France! After all, on the battlefield, all the glory belongs to Nanhua What about France? What about Bonaparte? The victory they need can only be reflected on the negotiating table!"

As prime minister, Bismarck was extremely politically farsighted. During the war against Austria, he advocated peace talks, and he didn't even set out any harsh conditions, but only let Austria recognize the North German Federation.Now, as the war faced defeat, he alone saw a chance to end it all with dignity.

"Isn't it reflected on the negotiating table? Is it reflected on the battlefield? Let the French beat us..."

Before he finished speaking, Mo Qi opened his eyes wide and said.

"Master Prime Minister, you, you don't really think so!"

What was he thinking about?Thinking of letting the French beat us?Has anyone ever thought this way?Isn't war all about winning?

"We must first let the whole world know how brilliant Nanhua's victory is!"

Bismarck expressed his thoughts in one word.

"The more brilliant Nanhua's victory is, the more it looks like France's failure. For Emperor Napoleon III, everything he has comes from the honor of Napoleon's victories. For his throne and his empire, he must be in the To regain his honor on the battlefield, but the question is, can he defeat us without the support of Nanhua?"

"With the assistance of the Nanhua army, even if Napoleon III won the victory, the opponents of the empire will still think that the victory is not worth mentioning, and the glory still belongs to Nanhua, Your Majesty. This is the dilemma that Napoleon III is now facing .In this case, he is more eager to win than anyone else. Compared with the spoils, I think he is more eager to pass a beautiful victory and tell others that he is worthy of the name of Napoleon, and the glory of France still shines The earth, in order to achieve this goal, he must be willing to do anything at all,"

When Bismarck expressed his thoughts, King William I frowned, he pursed his lips, and then signaled the prime minister to continue.

"For example, through a secret negotiation, the emperor and us reached an agreement to end this war within limited conditions. For example, France no longer obstructs the unification of Prussia. This is exactly the purpose of our war. , As for other cession of land, or compensation, of course it is impossible!"

Facing the Prime Minister's suggestion, Moltke was silent for a while, and then asked.

"So, is it possible for the French to accept such a condition?"

What is such a condition?
It was everyone who fought back and forth, and finally fought a lonely one. So many people died, and no one got a substantial return.

"So, I will negotiate with the emperor of Nanhua. France may be powerful, but, as we all know, his emperor is besieged by us in Paris. Perhaps this city with a heart-shaped wall will be difficult for us to conquer for a while, but Your Majesty, we But Napoleon's reputation can be easily damaged, and he has no better choice for his empire and throne."

As an excellent diplomat, Bismarck knew very well what he should do,
"Your Majesty, what we need now is how to end the war decently, and this will be our only choice!"

"Negotiate with the Emperor of Nanhua, what can you get from him?"

William I asked a little puzzled.

"Peace! Your Majesty!"

Bismarck replied directly.

"Your Majesty, they must also long for peace!"

The reason why Bismarck made such a judgment is because he believes that no country in this world is willing to sacrifice itself for another country.

"Your Majesty, maybe they are allies, but we have to believe that in this world, only interests between countries are eternal. Nanhua may have sent their troops to Europe, but how could they fight us for France? Go on. After all, the soldiers of Nanhua will die in the end. I believe that His Majesty the Emperor will never be willing to sacrifice his soldiers for others!"
