Do you know what the highest level of a liar is? That is to deceive even his own people, and what about a higher level? That is to deceive even himself.

A successful diplomat is destined to be a successful liar. Pesme is not only a master in governing the country, but also a master in diplomacy. The rise of Prussia is inseparable from his outstanding diplomatic ability dancing on the tip of a knife.

And now Besme has set up a shocking scam, which has deceived the whole world and even deceived William I.

The scam of Besmai can deceive others, but cannot deceive Xiao Letian.

Xiao Letian once pointed out indirectly in private occasions countless times. This conspiracy made Bismai force Bismai to tell him the truth.

What is the scam of Besmer? In fact, it is a deliberate sign of weakness. The whole world's analysis of Prussia is all based on Besmer's false information.

Intentionally concealing the true strength of Prussia, whether it is technological level, industrial GDP, and various incomes from agriculture, all government report data are actually fake.

It is interesting that not only deceived the whole world, he also deceived his boss William I.

This seems ridiculous to modern people, but it is reasonable to think about it carefully.

Let alone the backward and closed social environment in the late 19th century, even the largest boss of the world's large multinational companies after the 21st century could not understand the specific situation of each of his factories.

For example, the incident of falsification of data from Kobe Steel in Japan, it can be said that the entire middle-level leader has been involved in a fraud scandal, and even the top leaders have been deceived.

Because a man is always a human being, his energy is limited, and the information he can receive every day is limited, and he cannot fully comprehend his empire's rule.

With a small company with at least 180 floors away from me, it is really hard for senior management to detect some of the management chaos, corruption, and data fraud that occur in it.

Even in the 21st century when the Internet explosion occurred, top-level people could not put their control on the front line, let alone the era at the end of the 19th century!

Although William I was the king of Prussia, he had completely entrusted the management of the country's internal affairs to Besmer. All he could see was actually what Besmer wanted him to see.

The economic data released by Bismer to the public will also be given to William I. That is to say, while Bismer deceived the whole of Europe, he is also deceiving William I.

Xiao Letian felt that this might be the main reason for the deep estrangement between the monarch and his subjects! Besme was too strong, so strong that he had no monarch at all. That is, he met a kind and friendly monarch like William I, otherwise his head would have fallen to the ground long ago.

William I in history was indeed a benevolent monarch. His personal moral cultivation is still very good. The specific example is the Potsdamer Mill.

(Read friends are welcome to watch the Qing Dynasty Yinlong website. Only here can you help your heart and get close to the original creators. This is the base camp for Yinlong fans!)

In 1866, William I wanted to imitate the Palace of Versailles and build a Palace of Worry in his territory, but on one side of this palace, an old mill blocked his view of the view, which made him very sorry.

The mill and the land where the mill are located did not belong to the royal family. He belonged to a farmer. William I had to send his attendants to buy the land and mill at a high price, and prepare to demolish and build his own small garden.

Unexpectedly, the farmer had a stubborn temper and was reluctant to sell his ancestral property, and his tone was extremely tough!

In anger, William I ordered his soldiers to forcibly demolish the mill, that is, to forcefully buy and sell!

The miller suddenly became anxious. Even if you are a king, you cannot force yourself to buy and sell! I said I didn't want to sell it to you, but I couldn't sell it to you. As a result, a complaint sued William I to the Supreme Court of Prussia.

This is the first case in the world, a civilian suing the king!

The final result was shocking. The Supreme Court ruled that William I was illegal in using royal power to seize other people's land. The court ruled that the king must immediately restore the mill's original state and compensate the miller for mental losses of 150 gold coins.

This is the famous Potsdam Mill, which still stands on the side of the German Palace of Worry and has become a witness to a period of history.

From this historical case, we can see the history of judicial construction in Europe, but at the same time, we can also see the true nature of William I. Perhaps like ordinary people, he was angry, angry, and he would also make some irrational behavior when he was hot. However, when he calmed down, he could still face the accusation of him by an ordinary citizen.

Accepting the court's judgment and sincerely admitting mistakes is the quality that a benevolent monarch should have. In other words, if Pesme was able to become the Iron-blooded Prime Minister of Prussia and ruled until William II ascended the throne, the greatest contribution in this belonged to William I, not to betray Pisme. Anyone who could not tolerate others would not have such historical achievements.

Later history also proved this. Not long after William I's grandson William II ascended the throne, he kicked the elderly prime minister away and forced him to retire! It can be seen that whether the king can tolerate you is really a matter of luck!

It is precisely because he understood William I's temper and character that Xiao Letian was willing to reveal this to him.

In fact, the person who exposed this kind of background should be Pismai, but I don’t know what Pismai thought. Maybe his temper is too arrogant, and this person is a bit contemptuous of the imperial power!

So he hid the whole plan without missing a trace, and was forced to disclose it to Xiao Letian. As long as the conditions allow him, he really cheated on the king!

Xiao Letian looked at the left and right and whispered to the king, "Dear Your Majesty, I can only say to you now. All the economic data about Prussia you see are fake and have been modified!"

"What? This is impossible. Who dares to deceive the emperor so boldly? Is it Pesme?"

"No, no, no... Please calm down your anger, the Prime Minister is not actually to deceive you alone. He is trying to deceive the whole world and Europe. This strategic deception is for the victory of this Franco-Prussian War!"

"As we all know, in the early nineteenth century, Prussia was not a powerful country. At that time, Prussia was a very weak feudal autocratic country, with very backward social and economic conditions, and was in serious internal and external troubles!"

"If you are poor, you will think of change. Until the 1830s, Prussia began its own industrial revolution. I reported a set of simple data to His Majesty the King, and you will know how big your current family is..."

"The total number of steam engines in Prussia was only 419 in 1837, and by 1846 it had increased to 1,139..."

"After 1840, Prussia had 245 steam trains, and now the steam trains have increased to 3485..."

"This is all the real growth of national strength! Do you know all these data?"
