The Kingdom of Prussia, as one of the largest powers in Europe today, is ridiculous that it does not have a single outlet in the Atlantic Ocean. What a ridiculous thing.

It was actually trapped in the Baltic Sea like a pond, and a polar bear, Tsarist Russia, who can eat people and swim and eat fish was placed in the pond early. For the Kingdom of Prussia, the navy is a chicken rib, after all, this pond There is also the ruidian, a big fish that can go in and out of the pond, which is the envy of Prussia.

As a result, owning a Prussian port on the Atlantic Ocean and winning a piece of land connecting Prussia to the mainland was the dream of several of them for many years, especially for William I, they were even more eager to try it. Obviously, he was moved.

At the same time, he took a deep look at Bismarck, who nodded and said, "The Netherlands not only supports us on the Danish issue, but also expressed that the Netherlands is willing to give Prussia full support in Prussia's move to annex Hanover."

what!

"How dare the Netherlands open up this topic so boldly, and still tell the Kingdom of Prussia so. They are not afraid that Prussia will open this talk in the German Confederation, expose the inappropriate remarks of the Netherlands, and cause the German Confederation to attack?"

Mo Qi obviously couldn't help it and asked loudly.

William I also seemed to be stimulated and looked at Bismarck in confusion.

Bismarck also wanted to ask this question, but who knew what William IV of the Netherlands thought, so he guessed: "This is what I don't understand, our plan is basically a private communication between the few of us, But from the whole process of talking to that Pearson just now, I noticed that the Netherlands seems to understand our plan very well."

Ignoring William I's surprise, Bismarck continued:

"I naturally believe that there is no possibility of the three of us leaking, so there is only one result, that is, the new king of the Netherlands is indeed a king with strategic vision. Therefore, I suggest that we Prussia may wish to form an alliance with him, in order to Increase our strength, especially to understand the operation of the sea.

After all, the Netherlands can be said to be a more familiar existence than the United Kingdom in the Atlantic voyage. If we can cooperate, let our navy learn the battle-hardened experience of the Dutch navy, especially the precious value of winning and losing two of the four naval battles with the United Kingdom. Experience, that for us, has been more precious than others.

This is why we and Pearson specially added a request to the Dutch Navy to conduct systematic training for the King of Prussia Navy in our secret covenant with Pearson, and to increase the assistance of the two navies. "

William I and Mao Qi both agreed with this, but the Prussian Navy lacked communication with the naval powers.

The United Kingdom will not pay attention to Prussia's request, because it is just asking for trouble for itself for the naval hegemony, which is equivalent to smashing itself in the foot and making it uncomfortable.

And France is now eager for a fight between Prussia and Austria. On land, it naturally does not want Prussia to put its energy on the sea, then the energetic Prussia will make it difficult for France to see this scene happen, especially when Napoleon is still there. In the slow evolution process of the three secretly operating the Pu-Austrian relationship, if the navy is involved, it will inevitably reduce this level. Bismarck and the others all know the small moves of France, but few of them do not take Napoleon III's eyes. , just watching a clown jumping beams performing, sooner or later he will suffer.

Although I don't want to admit it, the relationship between Austria and Prussia this year, along with the rapid development of Prussia, has threatened Austria's leadership in the German Confederation.

Others understood this, even William I. In fact, many people, including many experts and professors in later generations, were discussing how Bismarck was iron-blooded and smart.

But few people really give the most fair evaluation of William I. They all underestimate the Prussian throne who took over the Prussian throne of his unofficial brother William IV at the age of 60 last year. William I began to boldly open the axe. , reused capable go-getters such as Bismarck and Mao Qi, and began to lay out the various projects currently planned.

William I's old eyes flashed with wisdom, and he was old and stronger. He said wisely: "That's why we planned it."

The camera returns to the Netherlands, Amsterdam.

"Beginning last year, Prussia provoked the status of the two duchies, Holstein and Schleswig, and put pressure on Denmark step by step, in order to create an atmosphere, carry out follow-up actions for Prussia, and gain civil peace. External support and understanding.

In fact, the Prussian plan was successful. Now the German Confederate residents of Holstein are very welcome to integrate into Prussia. At the same time, the smoke bomb of Schleswig also bombed the local people to reject Holstein. The latter's continued stay in Denmark attracted possible aggression from Prussia and even the German Confederation. Therefore, many people in Schleswig hoped that Denmark would agree to their idea of ​​adding Holstein to the German Confederation, in order to make their own Free from war.

However, Frederick VII of Denmark was hesitant. Perhaps Bismarck was too accurate in this subtlety. This was even more powerful for Bismarck's plan, and it even made Prussia reach the highest level of atmosphere that needs to be created. Spend"

Foreign Minister Heisbet Feng talked eloquently, while the others were listening carefully.

"In short, Prussia, which began in 1861, has completed a sharp change in Prussia under the framework of the iron triangle of William I, Bismarck and the old Mooch, which will make Prussia's future prospects promising."

"No, there is another Albrecht, von Roen," Prime Minister Tolbeck said at this time. "This person is the real right-hand man of William I, and he is the one who is hidden behind the scenes."

William IV ignored the doubts of the others, he secretly said: Sure enough, Jiang is still old and hot!

However, Feng Luoen was William I's servant to the dragon, and he was also the most trusted person by William I. He was not one of them.

Because Prussia and even the future German Empire, all the army's top training officers, logistics officers, and the most respected instructors of officers and soldiers are von Roen, who firmly controls the influence and loyalty of William I in the army. Well, this is why William I dared to let Bismarck and old Mooch do whatever they wanted, and it was mine, and the victory and honor were shared by everyone.

In addition to these, von Roen's greatest achievement is that he successfully reformed the Prussian military system during the years of William I's regency, and forged the sword of Prussia's unification.

With his training over the years, he has abandoned the old reserve army system that was purely defensive during the Napoleonic Wars when he first became Minister of the Army, and used a brand new armament plan for the needs of the unification of the German Confederation.

In 1860, the Prussian army had only 140,000 people, compared with 310,000 in Austria, 420,000 in France, and 990,000 in Tsarist Russia. Therefore, the Prussian reform at that time became an imminent task to complete the ambition of William I. .

In July last year, only half a year after William I took the throne, Minister of War (Military Minister) Ron proposed a military reform plan at the opening ceremony of the House of Representatives. Equipped for the standing army, and from 9.5 million thalers per year as military spending. These measures mean that the conscription has increased from 40,000 to more than 60,000, the army has also increased from 92 to 147 regiments, and the usual 140,000 troops have become 210,000.

In order to support von Roen, William I took a tougher stand, believing that command and management are his prerogatives. He resolutely stated that he would rather give up the throne like William III of the Netherlands, rather than be subject to so many restrictions, and at the same time, he would not Willing to drop the principle of 3 years of military service.

However, it did not impress the House of Representatives. For this reason, William I secretly instructed von Roen to use a military group to dissolve the Parliament, implement the direct rule of the king, and maintain orthodoxy and the unity of the monarchy.

But what is surprising is that in the September election, the progressives gained the support of voters again, regaining more than half of the 250 votes, and UU Kanshu www.uukanshu.com vetoed the military reform proposal. Feng Luoen recommended his friend Otto von Bismarck, the ambassador of the Second Empire in France, Bismarck, and cooperated with Bismarck to finally pass the military reform in seven rounds and eight rounds. The shocking appearance of the image of iron and blood can be said to make him not only in Prussia and the German Confederation, but all over Europe.

Therefore, after Tolbek uttered this name, other people, after doubting, recalled everything he did, which is indeed worthy of this. After all, just recommending Bismarck is enough to make him different.

"Yes, Haysbet, in fact, the Iron Triangle is really good, but the Iron Triangle is actually Bismarck, Mooch, Von Rowan, and William I. They are hiding behind the scenes and controlling everything."

He secretly said: King, don't you all need this?

A king who reported himself in the newspaper every morning and grabbed the headlines in order to report. That can only be said to be a star, just like those people who were the president of the United States in the previous life.

This is also the reason why he has been rarely seen in the newspapers recently. However, occasionally, increasing the exposure is not a big deal, after all, you still need to brush the sense of presence.

For example, he is currently preparing for his life-long event, which is ready to be launched in the form of a sensation in Europe.

However, it is still under preparation, and there is no hurry. The main reason is that there are many suitable candidates, such as Princess Alexandra, the eldest daughter of Christian IX of Denmark, Princess Alice and Helen of Queen Victoria of the British Empire. Princess Na, Princess Alexandra Alexandrovna of Tsarist Alexander II, Princess Louise of William I of Prussia...
