Chapter 1112 The leader of the Western world

On the morning of January 15, 1855, a merchant ship with the flag of the Kingdom of Sweden docked at the Port of Hamburg, Germany. [Two middle-aged men got off the ship, and several carriages marked by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Kingdom of Prussia were already waiting there. Then, the two middle-aged men got on one of the carriages, and their entourage got on the other carriages.

The carriage went directly to the train station in Hamburg Port. Under the guidance of the staff of the Prussian Foreign Ministry, the two middle-aged people boarded a train from Hamburg Port to Berlin. These two middle-aged people were the Earl of Granville, the Foreign Minister of the British Empire, and the Earl of Valevsky, the Foreign Minister of the French Empire. They secretly went to Berlin to negotiate with the Kingdom of Prussia on behalf of Britain and France respectively.

In a luxuriously decorated carriage, Earls Granville and Earl Valevsky met Albrech von Ron, the foreign minister of the Kingdom of Prussia. At this moment, the latter was waiting for them with a smile on his face. However, from his eyes, Earls Granville and Earls Granville could clearly see the joy in each other's eyes.

Perhaps, the other party already believed that the Kingdom of Prussia had won! The British and French envoys arrived at the Kingdom of Prussia, probably to seek peace! The Kingdom of Prussia has always been a powerful country in Central Europe. However, the geographical location of the Kingdom of Prussia determines that the Kingdom of Prussia cannot become a hegemon. Whether it is a powerful country in Western Europe or Eastern Europe, they do not want to see a powerful Kingdom of Prussia lifted up in Central Europe. Therefore, once the Kingdom of Prussia becomes stronger, these powerful countries will try their best to suppress the Kingdom of Prussia. Although the Kingdom of Prussia is very frustrated, there is no way.

Fortunately, all this is finally over. The Prussian Kingdom has won this war. They will become the winners of this war. The powerful Britain and France will crawl at the feet of the Prussian Kingdom in order to survive. Therefore, when Britain and France decided to send special envoys to the Prussian Kingdom, King William I of the Prussian Kingdom and Prime Minister Otto von Bismarck immediately agreed.

"Two, thank you all the way, have a good rest! His Majesty the King and the Prime Minister are waiting for you in Potsdam!" Prussian Foreign Minister Albrech von Ron said with a smile.

"Thank you!" Although I felt a little unhappy, Earls of Granville and Earls of Valliveski did not show any of them. How could those who could become foreign ministers be convinced at all?

The train was flying all the way, and it would take about ten hours to arrive in Berlin from Hamburg Harbor. Lunch was solved on the train. Although the food prepared by the Kingdom of Prussia was very attentive, neither the Earl of Granville nor Valewsky had any appetite. On the one hand, the fate of the country both troubled them, making them depressed. On the other hand, they were not very interested in the dishes of the Kingdom of Prussia, which had no style. After eating a few bites, it was just to give each other a face.

In the evening, the train arrived in Berlin. At this moment, Berlin seemed a little depressed. Due to the war, a large number of young and middle-aged people from the Kingdom of Prussia were enlisted in the army, and there were no people on the streets. Even if there were occasional pedestrians, most of them were women and children.

The Prussian Kingdom was not very strong at all, and they also paid a lot of money for this war.

After the train arrived in Berlin, Prussian Foreign Minister Albrech von Ron accompanied Earls of Granville and Earl of Valevsky to Potsdam. In order to keep it a secret, the Kingdom of Prussia and Britain and France are now enemies, so no welcome dinner was held.

It was not until they had dinner that Otto von Bismarck, the Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Prussia, came to meet them.

Compared with Earls of Granville and Earl of Valevsky, Otto von Bismarck is undoubtedly much younger. You should know that Otto von Bismarck is only 40 years old this year. At this age, he is definitely very young on the world political stage.

"You two, welcome you to the Kingdom of Prussia. However, because it is the war, everything is going to win this war, so we have nothing good to entertain you!" Otto von Bismarck's face was filled with a confident smile.

"Your Excellency, you are so kind. We come to the Kingdom of Prussia not to eat!" Earl Glenville smiled.

"Yes, Your Excellency Prime Minister. We came for the tens of millions of young men who were dying on the battlefield. Although they were British, French and Prussians, they were all Europeans and whites! The number of whites was not as large as that of yellow people, so we could not sacrifice them at will!" Earl Vallvsky also said.

Prime Minister Otto von Bismarck nodded. From this sentence, he could vaguely guess the other party's purpose. However, the Kingdom of Prussia is now at the advantage, and it is impossible to end the war so easily.

"Two, this war was not initiated by the Kingdom of Prussia. We are just fulfilling our obligations!" said Otto von Bismarck. This war originated from the contradiction between the Chinese Empire and Russia. Subsequently, the Chinese Empire and Russia declared war on each other, declaring the beginning of the war. The Kingdom of Prussia and Britain and France belong to the opposing military alliance between the two countries, so they are naturally enemies.

Of course, all this is just an excuse. They joined this war for their own interests.

Originally, after the Kingdom of Italy betrayed the alliance, the situation of the entire Asian-European military alliance in Europe was undoubtedly very bad. However, unexpectedly, everything changed after only half a year of the war. The Asian-European military alliance had achieved a decisive victory, and the Kingdom of Prussia also became the most powerful and influential country in Europe.

"Of course, Prime Minister. We can understand this. However, the constant sacrifice of God's people on the battlefield is very unfavorable for all European countries. Both of us want to end this damn war as soon as possible!" said Earl of Granville.

Otto von Bismarck nodded. In fact, the Kingdom of Prussia has also gained a lot of benefits in this war. Prime Minister, the Kingdom of Prussia has actually completed the unification of Germany. However, if we want to establish the Great German Empire, we have to destroy the Austro-Hungarian Empire. In addition, the territory of the Kingdom of Prussia has also been greatly expanded. If a new round of offensive is launched, a large area of ​​territory can be occupied. Of course, this is a bit insignificant compared to the Chinese Empire.

"I can understand the mood of Britain and France to end the war. However, the treaty stipulates that no country can make peace with other countries alone. If Britain and France really want to end the war, they must obtain the consent of the Chinese Empire!" said Otto von Bismarck.

"Yes, Your Excellency Prime Minister. However, the Chinese Empire would not be willing to end the war so easily. If the Chinese Empire wants to become the only world hegemon after the war, they will inevitably try every means to suppress Britain and France and other members of the North Atlantic military alliance." Earl Valliveski said.

Prime Minister Otto von Bismarck expressed his recognition of this. Of course, this is the power of the winner. As the winner, the Chinese Empire naturally has this power.

"But, Prime Minister, please think carefully. If the Chinese Empire becomes the unique overlord in the world, it will be very unfavorable to the Kingdom of Prussia, even the German Empire after the unification! The powerful Chinese Empire will suppress all countries that pose a threat to them. The Kingdom of Prussia will inevitably become the target of suppression of the Chinese Empire!" said Earl of Granville.

A faint trace of worry flashed in Otto von Bismarck's eyes.

"His Excellency Minister of Foreign Affairs is overthinking. The Kingdom of Prussia is a firm ally of the Chinese Empire, and this will not change. This will never happen between us and the Chinese Empire!" Of course, Otto von Bismarck would not agree. After all, they are still allies in the same trenches as the Chinese Empire.

"Okay, Prime Minister. Although you are unwilling to admit it, we can understand it. However, I must tell you frankly. In this war, the British and French empires have completely lost, and the entire Europe and the entire Western world are about to collapse. The future world will once again be in the hands of the Eastern people. This will be a disaster for the entire Western world. The Western world needs to unite to confront the Chinese Empire. We are willing to support the Prussian Kingdom to become the leader of the Western world and lead the entire Western world to fight against the Chinese Empire!" Earl of Granville continued.

Prime Minister Otto von Bismarck's eyes shrank slightly. For the Kingdom of Prussia, becoming the leader of the Western world is undoubtedly a great temptation. After all, for the Germans, only the Holy Roman Empire at that time had such a title. If the Kingdom of Prussia and even the German Empire in the future could once again reproduce the glory of the Holy Roman Empire, what a great honor it would be for them!

"However, Prime Minister. If the Western world wants to confront the Chinese Empire, the key is to preserve the power of the Western world as much as possible, and not be too weakened by the Chinese Empire. Otherwise, we will not be able to confront the Chinese Empire at all!" said Earl Vallvsky.

"Two, I understand what you mean, I will report to His Majesty the King!" (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
