"I am Chinese?" Xiao Letian spread his hands helplessly. "To be honest, I have no choice. This kind of problem must be faced by the development of the times. If you want the benefits of the industrial revolution, you cannot avoid such a burden. It's both sides!"

"The same is true for militarism. If you enjoy the glory of expanding territory and crowning the enemy's palace, you must accept the privileges of this huge military group!"

"There is nothing in the world that only benefits and no harm. Governing a big country is like cooking a small freshman. This is what we say. We politicians are just balancing families who are good at adjusting yin and yang..."

"Contradictions exist in society. It is nothing more than mediation and handling, so that contradictions can be released in non-violent forms!"

"But my Chinese have some advantages over you. Because the Chinese civilization has experienced a very long era of civil servant politics in history, and Confucianism has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, so the Chinese nation itself is less violent than other nations..."

"These founding general groups who created the Chinese nation are somewhat reasonable. Let's talk to them about the topic we just said. These people can understand and are willing to think..."

"This is a question of national characteristics, you Prussia cannot learn it!"

Beismai finally sighed without saying a word, "History is really the greatest precious heritage of your nation, you have taken too much advantage!"

Xiao Letian also sighed, "But history is also a heavy burden for our nation. The power of habit is too strong. I can foresee that the focus of my future governance is to oppose this powerful habitual force!"

"Let's encourage each other, the road ahead is not easy to walk!" The two miserable people held their hands tightly together.

History has proved Xiao Letian's judgment that time travelers are not omnipotent. He has no way to fight against regular things, and he can only make subtle adjustments in accordance with the trend of the times.

It’s like you build a country by force, then in the end you must tolerate the proliferation of militarism!

If you need the strong productivity provided by industrialization, then the rise of the working class will not be avoided!

When great powers compete to climb the technology tree between each other, you have to engage in an arms race to the death. You even have to take away the last copper plate from the pockets of the people to build a dark blue giant ship!

You have to pay something in advance, nothing comes in vain!

After the coronation celebration, Besmai and Xiao Letian never talked about any issues in future governance. However, every step he took during his later rule was the shadow of Xiao Letian's words today.

After the Franco-Prussian War, Besmai changed his majesty as an iron-blooded prime minister and became a modest politician. He was obsessed with diplomacy and always maintained friendly relations with the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

It is not only the same text and race, but also to allow the empire to expand its sphere of influence to the east!

Perhaps the scene of the world war depicted by Xiao Lotte was too cruel, and Bissmai also believed that this possibility was very high, so Bissmai opposed the German Empire's expansion of the navy throughout his life.

This is almost the outbreak of all the conflicts between him and William II. What William II wants is a great empire that is as glorious as the Empire of the Sun Never Set!

Then the big navy is an inevitable choice, but Pesme has always strongly opposed it!

After William II came to power, he immediately tried his best to squeeze out Pesme and let the empire start to operate along his baton.

When William II ascended the throne, Xiao Letian still controlled the Chinese politics. He was much younger than Pismai. He watched his old comrade retreat to the backstage of the historical stage lonely, and he felt mixed emotions.

Facts have proved that the vehicles of history cannot be reversed by one or two people, and the actions of William II cannot be decided by him alone!

Behind him is a huge militarist group supporting him, and it is the dreams in the hearts of tens of millions of Germans that drive him!

Nothing that Besmer did could change the ambition and desires of this group. He just used all his life to mediate, suppress, and guide as much as possible... he fantasized about using time to resolve the violent power of militarism little by little.

But in the end he failed, and a battle inevitably broke out!

Diplomatic efforts failed, and the alliance between Besmeyer did not free the German Empire from the fate of war, and the old man was even more exhausted in domestic internal affairs.

As Xiao Letian said, the German Empire was the first to carry out compulsory education for all, and the entire society accumulated a large number of elite scientific and technological talents, and many technologies were on the verge of breakthroughs.

At this time, what Germany needed was start-up capital, and the compensation for the French-Prussian War suddenly became the driving force for the outbreak of technology!

Germany's battlefield was like a rampant after the Franco-Prussian War. During the Second Industrial Revolution, Germany became the biggest winner!

A large number of industrial areas have begun to be built, and brand new factories produce better products and higher technological content!

The British were completely stunned. They found that the textile industry they were proud of in the past was no longer the most profitable industry!

Germany's heavy industrial products are the most powerful. In that era, industrial products made in Germany represented the highest technology, highest quality, and of course the most expensive price!

In Germany, where heavy industry is developing wildly, the profit of a military factory can exceed twenty British spinning mills!

Exporting a steam locomotive, the British don’t know how much cloth they have to sell to make the same money!

In that era, Germany Heavy Industry was like Intel, Microsoft, Apple, etc. in the United States. It was a high-end and cutting-edge industry with scary profits and never had to worry about sales for products!

But just like this kind of cooking oil and flowers, the scene of cooking oil in the fire and blooming flowers, there was no trace of joy in the eyes of Besmai!

The world's largest industrial zone has long been the world's largest and most powerful working class. In the late period of the reign of Pesme, two-thirds of his energy was focused on how to regulate the contradiction between workers and capital.

Capitalists are not philanthropists. No matter how much money they earn, they will not actively increase the treatment of workers. On the contrary, compressing costs is their instinctive choice.

On the one hand, workers demand increased benefits, and on the other hand, the capital side is uncompromising! The conflict between the two sides is so powerful that it escalates.

Workers began to connect, and those who had been rioting in Paris began to penetrate Prussia, and new ideas quickly penetrated into the bottom of society, and there were countless newspapers, leaflets, and secret gatherings.

Organized strikes, disrupting production machinery, and taking to the streets to protest... These German rulers suddenly discovered that the group of people that Napoleon III could not afford to offend back then ran to Germany?

The police arrested and the army went to the streets to suppress everything. How could everything be so familiar?

Fortunately, with Pismai, he can still suppress the scene!

The firm old man began a policy of adhering to the slightest. He strongly suppressed any violent acts, while on the other hand, he vigorously promoted the Labor Protection Law!

Reduce working hours, increase disability pensions, and increase hourly wages... Although these measures have not cured the symptoms but not the root cause, they have at least eased social conflicts during his reign.

Pismey is not a god, he can only use the methods he can think of to govern the country. Unfortunately, after he stepped down, William I did not continue his governance, and the social contradictions in the German Empire became more and more intense.

At the end of his life, when he was dying, he said to his nephew in a faint voice, "Give me the latest...the latest Oriental News...let me see...what Xiao is doing..."
