Xiao Letian stood up from the table, walked to the filing cabinet, took out a thick file folder from the drawer. After Bismai opened the file folder, the information inside made him dumbfounded.

"You, you... do you want... God! Isn't it too cruel to do this to an old man in his sixties..."

Xiao Letian smiled coldly, "Dear old friend, this is a national war, it is related to the survival of the nation. This war will eventually change the gap in national strength between France and Germany. There is no saying of hatred or cruelty. Morality and benevolence and righteousness do not apply to war."

"In order to win, we must do whatever we want, because only victory, only victory is faster and faster, can the war be avoided from falling into a protracted war of attrition. I want to win because I want to die fewer and fewer people."

"This is kindness, the real great kindness, what do you think?"

Bismai put away the information and returned it to Xiao Letian, sighed and said, "Okay! Since that's the case, it's all. Although once this matter is exposed, it will have a great impact on your and my historical reputation, it doesn't matter for the sake of the nation..."

The secret document that could completely anger Napoleon III was locked into the cabinet again, and no one could get close to it.

Speaking of this, it was already past midnight, two bottles of fine wine had been drunk, and the dishes on the table had been changed three times. After talking about the important matters, the two old friends began to look forward to the future. They all thought about what a long period of peaceful development for the Chinese and Prussia after the war ended.

Although Besmai is known as the Iron-blooded Prime Minister and Xiao Letian is scolded as an executioner in the East, they are essentially politicians who believe in peace. War is just to make their nation live a better life! Once the war reaches its goal, their minds will immediately return to economic development.

Two old and young friends were looking forward to the future development of science and technology, future geopolitical changes, future rise and fall of nations at the wine table, and even at the wine table Xiao Letian recommended two super big plans to Besmai!

Xiao Letian was slightly drunk. He grabbed the stool and sat side by side with his left hand on the Iron Blood Prime Minister's shoulder, and said with a smile, "Dear old friend, do you know? At this moment, there is a great opportunity waiting for you in front of Prussia..."

"If you are willing to listen to me, then the Prussian economy will definitely develop rapidly. You can even avoid the strategic suppression of the Jutland Peninsula. Do you believe me?"

Pesme was also drunk, and he shook his head, "Will God give me such a good thing? I'm afraid you are joking with me."

No, no, no, my dear old friend, there must be such a good opportunity. If you don’t believe it, open the map and let’s take a look.

There is a ready-made map in the study. Xiao Letian picked out a map of the Jutland Peninsula and spread it on his thigh.

Why did Prussia fight against Denmark? Is it just because of historical hatred? Wrong! Prussia is interested in the strategic position of the Jutland Peninsula.

The North Sea is here, the Baltic Sea is here, and where is the main transportation route connecting the North Sea and the Baltic Sea? It is on the Jutland Peninsula.

The Skaglak Strait, the Katgat Strait, and the fortress country Denmark that will never be captured. The Jutland Peninsula controls such a strategic location like a sharp knife.

Materials between the Baltic Sea and the North Sea must pass here. Merchant ships of all countries are under the control of the Danes' navy, and Britain also covets this place. The British Royal Navy regards this place as a valve and controls all countries along the Baltic Sea coast.

This is the portal, dear Prime Minister, of course you know what the portal means? And whose power to close the door is now in whose hands? In the hands of the British, in the hands of the Danes.

Britain is like an iron lid, pressing hard on the North Sea, making Germany breathless. We must admit that we have no strength to confront Britain for the time being.

We can only patiently pursue the battle between second and third place, fourth and fifth place in the UK.

At this time, I discovered a very, very good breakthrough. Why don’t we transfer all the money that the Danes earn into our own pockets?

Isn't it possible? Look here, get closer, dear head, look at the name of the city on the map here, I think you should be clear about it.

Kiel! Kiel, North Germany, if we draw a line with pencils here, draw and draw... all the way to this, hahaha!

You won’t not know this city or this river, right? By the way, this is the burger on the banks of the Elbe River!

The big gift package I give you is this canal! Kiel Canal!

With a hiss, Besmai took a breath of air conditioning, and it seemed like a hole was stabbed in his mind. Many large and unimaginable brain holes were opened!

"You, you...how did you do it? Oh my God, you dare to think of such a super project?"

Smart people are always smart people, and a layer of window paper will be broken with just a little bit.

Germany is actually a country that lacks seaports, and its coastline is basically concentrated on the northern and western borders.

Moreover, its coastline was cut in half by the Jutland Peninsula, that is, it was cut in half by Denmark.

For example, the city of Kiel in Germany is a port city located in the Baltic Sea, while Hamburg directly faces the North Sea.

German merchant ships If German warships want to travel back and forth between their own ports, they have to bypass the long coastline of the Jutland Peninsula and move forward carefully within the range of their shore defense artillery under the control of the Danish Navy.

This is not only about national security, but also seriously affects Germany's maritime interests.

If such a canal was really built from Kiel to Hamburg, the shipping distance between North Prussia and West Prussia would be shortened by at least 750 kilometers.

Don’t mention the issues of national security and warship navigation! Just for economic interests, this canal will also attract merchant ships from countless Nordic countries to borrow from here. The Germans can see clearly how much the Suez Canal is.

So, does Germany want to make money from countries along the Baltic Sea?

I dreamed that once this canal is built, who would foolishly go around the merchant ships of the entire Baltic coastal countries? Who would not want to take a shortcut closer? This is the Kings Mountain! The endless golds Mountain!
