No one could have imagined that after the unification of Germany, the power of Germany rose so quickly that in less than 50 years, this country with almost no colonies accumulated enough power to provoke a world war; no one could have imagined that Germany's unification had a greater impact on the entire European landscape than they thought, that Britain had to begin to seriously consider limiting Germany in the last decades of the 19th century.

Before the completion of German reunification, Britain overestimated the vitality of this new country and the threats it could pose in the future.

On the surface, compared with Prussia, France, Russia, and even Austria, the threat to Britain can pose is significantly greater. Moreover, the relationship between Prussia and Britain has always been relatively healthy, and Britain has no reason to go to war with it.

The relationship between China and Britain is just the opposite. The British felt that Germany's development speed was not enough to make Germany's threat greater than France, Tsarist Russia and Austro-Hungarian Empire, but China's speed has aroused the world's vigilance.

Especially the frequency of using troops in China was too high, and unified China, followed by attacking Tsarist Russia, and then seized Central Asia in one fell swoop. Now it has recaptured the entire North Korea across the sea and even extended its hand to Japan.

Hirofumi Ito took Shigeru Moriyama to visit Emperor William I. The small halls waiting were filled with people.

"It's been more than three hours. It seems that it's not the turn of being summoned by the German Emperor today." Shigeru Moriyama said softly to Hirofumi Ito.

Hirobu Ito was also a little anxious inside. He was addicted to alcohol and liked to play with women. These made it difficult for a normal man to remain calm. However, Hirobu Ito was indeed a very alternative and excellent politician. Although he was anxious inside, his expression was very calm. He narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Wait for a moment."

"Yes, sir." Shigeru Moriyama didn't dare to say anything more.

It was past six o'clock in the afternoon, and the outside was completely dark and all the people in the small halls were exposed.

Hirofumi Ito and Shigeru Moriyama are still waiting for the reception of Emperor William I.

The palace officials came over and asked strangely: "Have everyone been exposed? Why haven't you left yet? Your Majesty shouldn't arrange for a summoning today."

Hirofumi Ito quickly stood up and bowed deeply, "They should all leave. Will your Majesty be summoned again today?"

"Where is your Majesty so easy to see? Some people have been waiting for a few months but cannot get your Majesty's summons." An official from the German palace replied coldly. A small country like Japan that has never been heard of before is like an ant in the top leadership of Germany.

In fact, the treatment that China and Emperor Hua are now receiving in Europe is similar to Hirofumi Ito.

Hirobuki Ito took out an envelope from his pocket, "Please help arrange it. We have urgent matters and need to see His Majesty the German Emperor as soon as possible."

The palace officials looked around and naturally knew that they were bribing him. After taking the envelope, they took out a small corner and found that it was a check, which was actually 5,000 marks. They widened their eyes in surprise, nodded, and put the envelope in their pockets, "Tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, I will find a way to mention it to His Majesty."

"Thank you sir." Hirofun Ito and Shigeru Moriyama salute together.

When the two left the palace, Shigeru Moriyama said angrily: "It's okay if the British are arrogant, what is Germany? They are so arrogant."

Hirobuki Ito raised his hand, "Which country is not proud? Why would the Japanese army learn from Germany otherwise? The meeting with the German Emperor this time is very important to our Japan."

Shigeru Moriyama nodded, "You are right. But you really think that the German Emperor can decide Bismarck's idea? It seems that Germany's foreign policy has been in the hands of Bismarck for a long time."

"It can affect at least 50%. It is not very important for Germany to support Japan or China, because their power has not expanded to Asia. Even if we don't come to Germany, I believe that the possibility of the Germans openly opposing the British for China is very small. What's more, Bismarck and William I are the best political partners I have ever seen, and they can influence each other."

"Do you see the relationship between Bismarck and William I in this way? I have always felt that Bismarck unified Germany through a series of means, and William I might kill him because of his great achievements." Moriyama Shigeru replied.

"You don't have to think of Westerners with the idea of ​​our Easterners. Speaking of which, the relationship between the old William and Bismarck was not very good. When the Hohenzollerns took over the Brandenburg border, the Bismarck family was one of the bandit knights who led the rebellion in the border area. Even two hundred years later, the Bismarck family was still among the blacklist left by Frederick William I to Old Fritz. The comment Frederick William IV gave Otto von Bismarck was "The Red Anti-One Revolution cannot be used at critical moments." Before William ascended the throne, he had no good feelings for Bismarck during his regent. After the ascendance, he might not have appointed Bismarck if it was not for the situation that was beyond control. When Bismarck delivered his iron-blooded speech in Parliament, I heard that Old William was right

He was frightened by Bismarck's tough attitude, and even thought that he was going to be defeated in the revolution. In daily state affairs, the two people often had conflicts. The German Emperor William I, who was in his seventies, often tore off Bismarck's official documents. The two most famous conflicts between these two stubborn old men were one of the issues of handling Austria and its allies after the Battle of Sardova; the other was about the title of emperor after the unification. This issue was solved thanks to the old William's son-in-law, Frederick, Baden's great son-in-law, mediated from it. The relationship between the two was like an old man riding a horse. The old man did not believe in the horse, and the horse was not willing to be controlled by the old man. Every time William competed with Bismarck, Bismarck would directly threaten his resignation." Ito Hirobuki explained with a smile.

"The adults know everything about European countries and are very impressed." Shigeru Moriyama said convincedly. After listening to Hirobuki Ito's description, he had a very specific understanding of the relationship between Bismarck and William I of the Old.

Ito Hirobuki smiled and said, "It may make people not believe it very much. He always shows himself in military uniform, has a big beard, and has the reputation of "Prince of Shotball". He is an orthodox Prussian soldier. In fact, his personality is unexpectedly weak and repetitive. At several historical moments and when making decisions, William often shows hesitation and capriciousness. Even in 1848, he suppressed the Berlin Revolution. At the critical moment, he was often tossed by two contradictory opinions and did not know what to do. On several occasions, he even shed tears in front of his favorite ministers. The old king was in tears. Prime Minister Bismarck clapping his hands to comfort him, just his imagination made people feel a little uneasy. People like German Emperor William I actually really hope to get a strong will.

The strong push of the decisive man, although he was almost twenty years older than Bismarck, had no elegance in front of Bismarck. Every time they quarreled, they ended with the German emperor's will, and so ended up with the German emperor's will. So much so that Bismarck secretly lamented that "our king is like a willful woman, and he must coax it." Although Bismarck is destructive and reputable, everyone must admit that he was one of the most influential politicians in the 19th century. He changed the direction of the entire world history. Although the unification of Germany seems to be an inevitable trend, he still made great contributions in it. His will is firm and his vision is high, and he grasped the pulse of the entire era. His powerful light made even William I, a king and emperor, be overshadowed."

"So that's the case." Moriyama asked: "In that case, Bismarck's final decision will play a decisive role in our diplomacy between Japan and Germany."

"You are wrong. No monarch actually likes this situation. However, if it is an ambitious monarch, he will choose to change, but William I chose to silently obey and be an overcast emperor. This is partly because Bismarck repeatedly proved that he was right; partly because William I's dependence character. Of course, this does not mean that the emperor did not get angry. In fact, William I's several times of trouble, almost made Bismarck unable to come to Taiwan, and in the end they simply threatened him with resignation. In the end, they all ended with His Majesty the Emperor. It can be seen that the dependence of the German Emperor is greater than rejection. Although Bismarck has high prestige, he is still just a minister of Prussia and the German Empire. It is not possible without the support of the emperor. The relationship between William I and Bismarck is very rare after all." Hiromori Ito seemed to think of his relationship with Emperor Meiji and sincerely exclaimed.

William I was an interesting emperor. He himself was a very brave soldier. But at the same time, William I was actually worried about the danger of unconstitutionality (actually afraid of revolution). At this time, Ron suggested that Otto must go to the table.

Bismarck carried out more tough reforms than William. In fact, at this time, the emperor knew that he was actually not as good as Bismarck.

Moreover, when William and Bismarck later argued about what the throne of the empire was called, William actually made concessions.

To put it bluntly, a hardliner met another hardliner who was even tougher.

The weaker side knows that they are weak, so they choose to quit.

To understand the relationship between Bismarck and William I, you must first understand what kind of person William I was.

On the way to Hirofumi Ito and Shigeru Moriyama Association Inn, Hua Huang and his group arrived at the Kingdom of Spain.

"Your Majesty, the secret telegram from Berlin." As soon as he entered the inn, Wang Zhankui brought the telegram.

The Meng CEO took it personally and saw it. The telegram showed that Hirobu Ito was already seeking to meet the German Emperor William I.

Hirobu Ito was observing Emperor Hua's every move, and President Moe was also observing Hirobu Ito. However, the telegraph system of China was developed, and President Moe was able to know Hirobu Ito's dynamics at the first time, and Hirobu Ito's message reception speed was much behind that of Emperor Hua.

Princess Katrina Kaif took the telegram from Emperor Hua and said worriedly: "Ito Hiromon, a ghost guy, really has him everywhere. He actually went to Germany and was definitely causing trouble for us. Why didn't he go to see Bismarck first? Didn't he say that Bismarck actually master Germany's internal and diplomatic strategies?"

"This is exactly what Ito Hirofun is so smart. He knows very well when to look for whom." Emperor Hua's chubby little hand touched his chubby little face and walked forward.

Although Emperor Hua didn't know much about history, Emperor Hua still heard of William II.

Comrade William II is the most famous classmate of secondary school disease in history.

Regarding the relationship between William I and Bismarck, Emperor Hua felt that no matter what, William I would not feel very comfortable.

As for Frederick III, it was because Frederick III received too much British education and had a strong liberal tendency to be in conflict with Bismarck, while William II, the later successor of the German emperor, was in conflict with Bismarck diplomatically, and he did not have enough political wisdom like William the old. It was not surprising that his conceit (inferiority) made him forcefully dismiss Bismarck.

William I was the second son of Frederick William III, and the second son would not have inherited the throne. Therefore, William I did not receive much education when he was a child. Like the second son of other European nobles, William I was sent to the army to become a soldier and participated in many battles.

After William I ascended the throne in the future, why did he become a military force? After all, he is also a soldier.

This prince, who was unable to inherit the throne, unexpectedly inherited the throne after his brother's death and became the king, and the ambitious William I carried out reforms and clashed with the parliament (William I wanted to expand his arms, but the parliament did not allow it.

Forced by helplessness, William I had to order a person who was not afraid of parliament or even despised parliament to serve as prime minister in order to carry out his orders.

And this person is Bismarck.

William I needed Bismarck, and Bismarck also needed a monarch like William I.

The two were purely a relationship of mutual need and exploitation, because William I needed him.

When Bismarck became prime minister, he delivered a "iron-blooded speech" in parliament.

After the speech, William once said to Bismarck: "I know very well the ending. They will cut off your head in front of my window in the Opera Square, and then cut off my head later."

Bismarck responded: "Since you will die sooner or later, why do you die more decently? Whether you die on the gallows or on the battlefield, there is no difference between them, and you must fight to the end!"

Through this incident, the two formed a unique relationship between the monarch and the subject, and the union of the two also allowed Prussia to successfully unify Germany.
