Hidden Dragon in Qing Dynasty

The current diplomatic situation was very unfavorable for Prussia. Due to the rapid military breakthrough and the smooth progress of the war, the whole of Europe was worried about Prussia.

This nation that had evolved from the Teutonic Knights, had a fighting spirit that was rooted in the blood vessels. Starting from history, the Prussian was actually more warlike than the French Nation.

However, because the geography of ancient Prussia was not as good as that of the France, most of the time the France was the one suppressing Prussia.

Moreover, Prussia was located in the confluence of East and West. Since ancient times, it had been a battleground where the Slavs, the Germans, the British, and the French all had complicated conflicts of interest.

The chaotic campaign that lasted for hundreds of years had weakened the overall strength of the entire German Nationality. Even the most basic population figures were lower than the European average.

Most Europeans were not optimistic about Prussia before the war, and many optimistic analysts thought that it would be a tough battle even if it won. Everyone was waiting to see a scene of mutual destruction.

However, reality gave all the Military experts s a resounding slap. France, who had won consecutive battles against Prussia, was like a chicken that had died. Within a month, France had lost two provinces, Arthas, Rolin, and even the French Emperor s.

Such a feat had astonished all the kings in Europe, followed by a deep fear. No one had thought that Bismark's modified Prussian chariot would have such a violent combat ability.

Who in Europe could resist such a legion? The France was the strongest army in the world, yet they were easily taken care of. This showed that the Prussian army was the strongest in the world!

Those countries which had a history filled with enmity with Prussia felt a chill on the back of their necks. They knew that their armies could not be compared to the France s.

The British also felt threatened. The rise of Prussia was too fast and the British were at a loss of what to do. The army was the weakness of the British Empire, and in order to make up for that weakness, they had to develop their navy and use diplomatic plots to fight against it!

Now that Prussia was replacing the France as the second largest military power in the world, Britain's overall national strategy had to be adjusted. They had the impulse to suppress the emergence of the European hegemon.

In a short period of time, Bismark and William I met with an unprecedented diplomatic pressure. Everyone hoped that Prussia could sit at the negotiating table and have a friendly discussion with them.

The King of the Netherlands and the King of Belgium had even given up on diplomacy and were persuading William I as royal relatives.

"Napoleon III declared war on Prussia on impulse. This is indeed not right, and we will curse him for it, but killing is just a head on the ground. Since you have already won the upper hand on the battlefield, you might as well just throw your bags for the best!"

"This is a dangerous battle. Only the heavens know if you can maintain your superiority in the future. It's best to swallow the benefits in front of you first!"

"Leave a chance to be a good person so that we can meet again in the future!" "All you want is actual benefits. You need the French to cede the colonies to you, and then you need to pay for it with a bit of war reparations. After that, we will recognize the unified rights of you Prussians over the other Germany!"

"Look at how good the result is! Isn't that what you want, unity and war dividends? These negotiating tables can all be given to you, so why should we go to war? "

"We've already said everything. You'd better think about it carefully. If you don't listen to my advice, you'll turn from a poverty-stricken person into a tyrant. The change in status will not end well for you!"

At this time, Xiao Letian wrote the original words in his memoirs. Of course, Dutch and King of Belgium would not say such crude and useless words, but the meaning behind the words was not wrong.

And the one directly behind this threat was obviously British Prime Minister Gladstone!

War, in the end, was just an organized robbery by humans. All wars would eventually turn into robbing benefits from naked fruit, and this had never changed since ancient times.

However, people were human after all, and war also had to be decided by a righteous name. Everyone would pretend to be someone who had been wronged and had no choice but to fight. This way, they could compete for the sympathy of the world and also dissolve the nation's anti-war sentiment.

Bismark played this kind of trick the best. Through a series of provocations, he made the French Emperor lose his reason and declare war on him.

It was because the French had taken the initiative to declare war, that Prussia had taken the initiative to fight.

The efficiency of the Kingdom of Bavaria's recruitment was one thing. These soldiers, who originally had enmity with the Prussian, now fought side by side again for the sake of the German Nationality.

This was the advantage of a righteous name. Furthermore, with such a passive response and such a righteous title, the international community was unable to say anything.

By now, all of Europe except the small countries controlled by the France had expressed sympathy for Prussia and agreed to fight against the French.

Who told your French Emperor to declare war first, it's not like Prussia attacked you, you were the one who started it!

Such righteousness gave Prussia a very good diplomatic environment, with very little pressure.

But now, the benefits of this justice were about to be used up!

If you do not agree, then it means that all your grievances are false. You are a schemer, and you, Prussia, want to invade the France.

At that time, the situation of the people would be reversed, and the soldiers of the States who were fighting passionately to protect their home and their country would immediately be shaken.

And once Prussia rejected diplomatic mediation, it gave the other countries a reason to intervene, especially the British, who would never hesitate to use the navy!

Could Bismark withstand such an immense pressure? The national strategy that Bismark had formulated for Prussia was very clear, and that was to never challenge Britain's international standing.

Because he knew that Britain was too strong. For a hundred years, it was not something Prussia could fight against!

Although the Prime Minister was a hard-hearted man, he was still rational. He would never do something stupid like crashing into the south wall!

But was he really going to give up the war? How could he let Napoleon go so easily? France had obviously already had its armor torn off to reveal its vulnerable belly. If they gave up now, there wouldn't be a second chance in a hundred years.

The entire Europe was waiting for Bismark's answer, but they never thought that Bismark would actually not give any sort of response, but instead used his sword to push their side, and took out something that stunned the entire Europe.
