The Second Reich: Beginning with the Prince of Prussia

Thwarting the Gaul offensive and destroying the living forces of Gaul had successfully achieved their strategic goal for them, and it was completely unnecessary to continue fighting.

So Andrews gave an order to Moltke the Elder at the front, telling his army to stop the offensive and return to the Rhine region to prepare for the formation of the Siegfried Line.

This line of defense was formed in preparation for the next big war.

The second is to prepare to use smoke bombs to confuse the enemy, especially Gaul and the sunset.

In addition, Andrews also sent the Imperial Prime Minister Bismarck to prepare to go to the capital of the city of Fog to participate in the post-war mediation conference initiated by the sunset.

Although the war is over, the war on the diplomatic side has only just begun.

Bismarck's task was very heavy, and his goal was to sow discord between Gaul and the sun as much as possible, to delay the alliance between the two countries as much as possible, and to buy more time for the peaceful development of the empire.

......

After Bismarck left, Andrews set his sights on the battlefields of the Eastern Front.

Königsberg, East Prussia.

After Karl, the Prince of Blood, returned with the 2nd 26th Legion, the army of the woolly bear did not dare to continue south.

Carl's reputation is outstanding, and the Furry Bears are jealous of him.

In addition, the strength of the Second Army and its long-term presence in East Prussia made it more familiar with the terrain and had the advantage of being at home.

This led to the right time, place and all the people in the hands of the German army, and if it really fought, it would be very disadvantageous to the woolly bear army.

The hairy bear people went south with the mentality of taking advantage of the fire, not to fight to the death with the Hans.

At this time, the news that the French army was lightly advanced and was completely annihilated by the German army on the Rhine River came, and the woolly bears were taken aback, and they were afraid that they would follow in the footsteps of the Gauls, so they wisely chose to withdraw their troops.

At this point, the crisis on the Eastern Front was resolved, and Prince Karl successfully prevented a war by virtue of his reputation.

"Andrews, there is only so much that my father can help you, and you can only rely on yourself for the affairs of Bai Lin!"

Seeing the furry bear man running away, Prince Karl himself breathed a sigh of relief.

If he really fights, he is confident that he will defeat this woolly bear army.

But the problem is that there are still hundreds of thousands of troops behind Mao Xiong to support, and behind him, there are no reinforcements.

Therefore, Prince Karl himself is not willing to really do it.

At present, the enemy has taken the initiative to retreat, which is an outcome acceptable to both sides.

Of course, in this crisis, the wolf ambition exposed by the hairy bear people still gave the empire a wake-up call.

This neighbor to the east is not to be trusted!

......

The sun never sets on the empire, the foggy capital city.

As soon as Bismarck arrived, he received an enthusiastic response from the sun that never sets.

The sun never sets on the Foreign Secretary personally greeted him at the pier and welcomed his visit.

Bismarck ruled the German Empire for decades, and under his leadership, the national strength of the German Empire flourished, and it quickly became one of the most powerful empires on the European continent.

This ability, even if the sun never sets, has to express admiration for him.

There was a honeymoon period between the two countries, and there were many high-level officials of the two governments, and they had a certain friendship with each other.

"Thank you Prime Minister Bismarck for accepting the invitation of our empire on which the sun never sets, and rushing to participate in this peace negotiation!"

When the sun never sets on the foreign secretary, he had already seen Bismarck's demeanor when he was a small diplomat.

This is the most brilliant and successful diplomat in Europe at the moment.

His diplomatic strategy is enough to be written into the textbooks of foreign education ministries in various countries. (If you read a violent novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

It was an honor to have the privilege of working with such a legend.

"Hehe, your country is too polite, and we also want to thank your country for speaking up and upholding justice for us!"

Bismarck said with a smile, his words were very level.

It not only elevates the international status of the people on whom the sun never sets, but also puts themselves in the position of victims, and people can't help but ignore the fact that they are the victors in this war.

"Hehe, this is what we should do, Your Excellency the Prime Minister is waiting for you in Parliament, please come with me!"

The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, and under the leadership of the Foreign Secretary on which the sun never sets, Bismarck arrived at the Palace of Westminster, where the sun never sets, where he met the prime minister on which the sun never sets, Gladstone.

Gladstone is an evergreen in the political arena where the sun never sets, having served four terms as prime minister so far, which can be said to be the longest tenure of prime minister in the history of the sunset political arena.

Gladstone is eight years old, seven years older than Bismarck, his hair is completely gray and thinning, but he seems to be in good spirits.

Especially this time, as the world hegemon, they presided over the war mediation between the two major European powers, which made him feel particularly excited.

As long as both countries accepted their mediation, it would be equivalent to Gaul and the Second Empire recognizing the world supremacy on which the sun never sets.

If this is done well, it will be tantamount to setting a precedent in the international community.

In the future, they can use this standard to mediate the wars of other countries.

With Gaul and the Second Reich taking the lead, it would be much more likely that other countries would recognize their supremacy.

With the recognition of various governments, their title as world hegemon is truly worthy of the name.

Bismarck was very clear about the idea of the people who never set the sun, so he deliberately picked out some words that the people who never set the sun liked to hear, and put the posture of the Second Empire very low, so that the vigilance of the people who never set on the sun to the second empire was minimized.

"So, Emperor Andrews isn't a naval radical who supports the fleet?"

When he heard Bismarck mention the next plan for the development of the navy after the new emperor of the Second Empire ascended the throne, Prime Minister Gladstone was very interested and pricked up his ears, for fear of missing a word.

"Yes, Your Excellency Prime Minister, His Majesty the Emperor 997 does not trust the kingdoms and principalities within the empire, and you also know that in the coup d'état that just broke out, the king of Saxony led his army to kill Bailin, which offended the emperor's rebellion and made many people in the empire feel very dissatisfied!

So, it will probably take us a long time to solve the problems of these principalities and kingdoms.

To solve this problem, it is necessary to increase investment in the army, and under the condition of limited military spending, the development of the navy will naturally be restricted.

Your country is a maritime hegemon, so naturally it is well aware of how much it will cost to build a large naval fleet.

We have been independent for less than 20 years, and neither the accumulation of wealth nor the industrial strength of your country can be compared, and we simply cannot afford the cost of building such a large fleet!"

Gladstone and the Admiralty Chancellor, on whom the sun never sets, nodded their heads again and again, and both thought that Bismarck's words were very reasonable.

When it comes to the experience of building a large fleet, no one is more qualified to speak than the sun never sets.

Outsiders only saw the glamorous side of the Royal Navy, but they didn't know what a huge price the Sun Never Sets Empire had paid to build the Royal Navy!

Most of the benefits they had made from the colonies had been smashed into the bottomless pit of the navy.

Other countries don't have so many colonies to suck blood, and to build such a powerful navy like they would probably bankrupt their finances!

The navy is really not something that weak and poor countries can afford to play!.
