The Second Reich: Beginning with the Prince of Prussia

After agreeing with Bismarck, Andrews summoned the Chief of the General Staff, Moltke the Elder, and briefed him on the plan they had developed.

Old Moltke thought for a moment and said, "There is nothing wrong with fighting Gaul, but there is a mountain range between our two countries, and if we take the initiative in this situation, I am afraid that we will suffer great losses."

So, I mean, why don't you let the Gauls in and shut the door and beat the dogs?"

"Is it self-defeating to close the door and beat the dog?"

Bismarck frowned when he heard Moltke Sr.'s plan, as if he felt that the risk was too great.

"You also know that the Rhine region is the essence of the empire, and if we let the flames of war burn here, even if we win the war, the final result will still be unprofitable. "

Old Moltke said with a smile: "Don't worry about this, we won't let them go too deep, we will set up a pocket array on the side of the Vosges Mountains, so that they can throw themselves into the net, and it will not affect the Rhine region." "

Hearing Moltke's assurance, Bismarck was relieved.

It has been almost 20 years since the last war ended, and the Gauls have healed their scars over the years, forgotten the pain, and began to jump again, clamoring for revenge on the Empire.

Properly educate them, so that he 357 knows that the sky is high and the earth is thick, and he is not so arrogant, which is also good for the frontier security of the empire.

So Bismarck finally agreed to Moltke Sr.'s plan.

As for Andrews, he trusted Moltke Sr. in his military prowess and, upon hearing of his plan, immediately agreed.

"Since Your Majesty and the Prime Minister have no opinion, then I will go and improve this plan and set a trap for the Gauls!"

Old Moltke's expression was very excited, and the thought of being able to bully the Gauls made him feel particularly happy!

"Hehe, don't worry, old marshal, I have prepared a gift for you, and I have asked Hindenburg to bring someone to send it over, I hope this gift can satisfy you!"

"Hehe, Your Majesty is too polite, then the old minister will go and see what surprise His Majesty has prepared for the old minister!"

Old Moltke couldn't hold back the curiosity in his heart, and hurried back to the army, and sure enough, he saw that Hindenburg had brought a large number of mysterious things with a group of people.

After checking the true face of Lushan of these things, the smile on Old Moltke's face couldn't be stopped!

"Okay, great, Your Majesty is really thoughtful, with these things, this time the Gauls are afraid that they will suffer a big loss!"

......

In order to cooperate with Moltke Sr.'s plan to lure the enemy deeper, Andrews (CGEE) carried out a series of diplomatic operations.

He first telegraphed the Empire on which the sun never sets, saying that the Second Empire had no intention of provoking a war between the two countries.

It is hoped that the Empire on which the sun never sets will play a leading role as a world hegemon, actively mediate the conflict between the Second Empire and Gaul, and avoid the outbreak of war.

Subsequently, he personally called Gallic President François, saying that he did not want to see a bloody conflict between the two countries break out and hoped that Gaul would withdraw his troops.

In order to show his sincerity, he ordered the German troops stationed in the border area to voluntarily retreat fifty kilometers.

After these two telegrams were sent, the people of the people who never set the sun were very happy and felt that they had received a great compliment.

Andrews openly acknowledged their status as the world hegemon, which is a gesture of favor to them!

"Hehe, this son is more important than the old fool of William I!"

Prime Minister Gladstone was relieved to receive Andrews's telegram.

Although the sun never sets has long been the de facto world hegemon, there has never been a great power like the Deyi Zhi Empire that has openly recognized their hegemony before this!

Andrews did, whether he was forced by the situation or if he really just thought so.

This telegram of his will raise the international prestige of the empire on which the sun never sets to a new level.

Moreover, this happened during his tenure, and the credit naturally went to him Gladstone.

When the sun never sets in later generations, people will praise him in their hearts, and he is the first prime minister to make all the world powers publicly recognize his hegemony, Gladstone feels extremely satisfied.

The prime minister is not the only one who is happy about this when the sun never sets, and the other ministers are also very satisfied:

"The Second Empire is a traditional army power, and the main threats it faces are from land, so there is really no need for them to get along with us!"

"That's right, look at their neighbors, the woolly bears in the east, and the Gauls in the west, which one is easy to mess with, and which one is not eyeing them?

"Since this son can carry the weight, then we might as well return the favor, agree to his request, and take the initiative to mediate this dispute!"

"That's right, to do so in response to the Second Reich's overtures, to ease our relations, and to show the world that we are leaders. "

"Hehe, if this matter is done well, if there are any other international disputes in the future, I think we can completely follow the gourd and initiate mediation according to the mediation experience of this time, so as to further expand the international influence of our empire!"

Seeing that everyone was in favor of accepting the invitation of the Second Empire, Gladstone nodded slightly and said: (Read the violent novel, go to the Feilu Novel Network!)

"Since everyone has no objection, then call back to the Second Empire and inform them that we have accepted their invitation to mediate!"

Subsequently, Gladstone ordered another telegram to be sent to Gaul, persuading the Gallic president not to provoke a war, and that they did not want peace in Europe to be destroyed.

Gallic President François received two telegrams in succession.

The first telegram was from Andrews, and François was overjoyed after reading it.

He felt that Andrews, the little hairy boy, must have been frightened by his actions, so he hurriedly begged for mercy. []

If the other party didn't have confidence in his heart, why would he beg for mercy so lowly?

There is a way to take advantage of your illness to kill you!

Although the little emperor of the Second Empire begged for mercy, Françoult not only would not let go of the other party, but also took the opportunity of this milky little emperor to be frightened by himself and took the initiative to provoke a war!

Aren't you going to retreat?

Then I'll march forward and eat all the territory you have retreated from, and see what you do!

François had already planned in his mind that after occupying the fifty kilometers of territory, they would continue to march westward.

If the Germans stubbornly resisted, then they would take it as soon as they saw it.

If the German resistance is unfavorable, then they will inevitably have to gnaw another piece of meat!

But just when he was so ambitious, that he thought that he was Napoleon, and was about to drink the Mahina, the telegram on which the sun never set came!

After reading the telegram on which the sun never sets, François was furious!

broke the mouth and scolded that the sun does not set and people do not speak of credit, and the front foot supported them to go to war, and the back foot changed its attention and came to oppose them to go to war!

"The sun does not set at both ends of the first rat, and it is really not trustworthy!"

After Françall's scolding, he still didn't want to let go of this opportunity.

The little emperor on the opposite side has just ascended the throne, and the regime is still unstable, if you don't seize the opportunity at this time, you may never have such a good opportunity in the future!

So, even if the sun doesn't set, they will go to war!

"Send electricity to the front line and let them attack according to the predetermined plan!".
