The Second Reich: Beginning with the Prince of Prussia

This answer was obviously somewhat unexpected by Bismarck!

He didn't expect Andrews to take Eagle Sauce so seriously, and even felt that Eagle Sauce was the future world overlord.

He had expected Andrews to list the sun never setting or Gaul as the empire's greatest enemies, as this was very much in line with the current perception of the Germans.

Andrews, however, only listed Gaul and Sunset as short- and medium-term enemies, and saw the threat of hairy bears as more serious than those two countries.

This is the first time he has heard of such a view.

"Oh, can you explain why you made that judgment?".

Bismarck was very interested in Andrews's ideas, and he was partly in favor of Andrews's judgment and partly in reservations.

However, if Andrews's explanation is convincing enough, he may change his mind as well.

"There is no need to analyze the relationship between Gaul and the Empire, after the Franco-Prussian War, Gaul is the feud of the Empire, the kind that cannot be reconciled, so in the future there will be a war between us and Gaul, do you agree with this?"

In the face of Bismarck's inquiry, Andrews also attached great importance to it.

Historically, Bismarck's diplomatic strategy was actually played out in the end.

The Three Emperors Alliance was a great thing to do in the beginning, to win over Austria-Hungary and stabilize the fluffy bears that were on the move in Eastern Europe.

However, this strategy failed after the intensification of the contradictions between the woolly bear and the Austro-Hungarian Empire, which led to a sharp deterioration of the security situation on the eastern front of the empire, creating excellent conditions for Gaul to attract the woolly bear to join the Entente in the future!

Therefore, Andrews hoped to subtly influence Bismarck through his own views, so that he could change his original diplomatic strategy, so as to avoid the dilemma of the German-Italian empire being attacked from both sides in the future.

Even if they can't avoid it, they must lose their illusions and prepare for a two-front battle as early as possible, otherwise, once the First World War breaks out, they really have no chance of winning.

Bismarck did not know Andrews's thoughts at this moment, and when he saw Andrews seriously discussing the Gallic problem with him, he spoke

"You are right, the Franco-Prussian War harmed the core interests of Gaul, and the huge war reparations and the cession of Alsace and Lorraine set up a huge obstacle to their future development

Saying this, Bismarck sighed slightly.

The Franco-Prussian War was actually a little out of his control, and he had no problem with the two demands of war reparations and land claims in Gaul.

However, in order to vent his anger, William I went to Versailles, the capital of Gaul, to ascend the throne and proclaim the throne, which was simply humiliating the Gauls in front of the whole world.

It is a common thing in wars to cede land and pay reparations after defeat, and Gaul has not been defeated before this, so it is normal to ask them for compensation and land, plus Alsace and Lorraine were not Gaul lands in the first place.

Therefore, it made sense for the German-Italian Empire to recapture it, and the Gauls would not feel particularly humiliated, and there was still room for cooperation between the two countries in the future, just as Prussia and Odilli had done in the first place.

Bismarck expected that after defeating Gaul, they would replace Gaul as a thorn in the side of the sun.

The Hundred Years' War between Britain and France and the subsequent struggle for colonies caused the two countries to accumulate a deep feud like a sea of corpses and blood.

In this case, the hatred between the Gauls and the German-Italian Empire could be put aside for the time being, and everyone would fight against the sun for the common good.

However, this act of the emperor was like throwing a fire in a pot of oil, which made the oil pot ignite a raging fire in an instant, allowing the Deyizhi Empire to completely replace the sun that never sets, and attracting the hatred of the whole Gaul, and it is the greatest hatred!

After this, it was impossible for Bismarck to appease the Gauls and keep them from holding a grudge against the Empire.

It is precisely because of this that Gaul has become the sworn enemy of the Deyizhi Empire, and even got closer and closer to the sunset that has a deep blood feud.

Obviously, Bismarck did not want to see this, because it made his diplomatic strategy much less room for maneuver.

At this time, when he heard Andrews's analysis of the indissolvable hatred between Gaul and the Empire, and the judgment that sooner or later there would be a war, Bismarck only had a deep helplessness in his heart.

"Let's talk about the sun never sets, the sun never sets, as the world hegemon, with a strong strength in the world, the vast majority of the German and Italian people will list them as the number one enemy of the empire, but why do you think they are only mid-term opponents?".

Bismarck was the most curious about this question.

Anyone can see the strength of the empire on which the sun never sets, and Andrews is naturally no exception, but he still made such a judgment, which shows that he has a new perspective in his heart that is different from others.

Different angles of view of the problem naturally get different answers, Bismarck is now curious about Andrews from what perspective the sun never sets?

"Teacher, do you think that the sun never sets is a country or a company?"

Instead of answering Bismarck's question directly, Andrews turned around and posed a question of his own.

As soon as this question came out, Bismarck's eyes lit up.

If it were a normal person, he would definitely blurt out that the sun never sets is a country, because this is an obvious thing.

But Bismarck was no ordinary person, and his strategic vision and insight into things were definitely not comparable to ordinary people.

So following Andrews's analysis of this question, Bismarck immediately realized what he usually ignored.

"Although the sun never sets on a country, it does not look like a country, but wants to be a colonial company, because of the short-sightedness and blindness of capital, they pursue short-term interests more than long-term interests.

Just like the land of North America, if the sun never sets, if it is really a qualified country with a strategic overall view, then they will definitely take this place at all costs, and even take the initiative to immigrate and move the capital to North America, instead of treating this place as a dumping market like other colonies, making North America out of their control, independent, and then becoming their henchmen!"

"From this point of view, the sun never sets, although it is strong, but it is not a cause for concern, because they are not a real country, they calculate the benefits before they act, as long as they realize that the benefits are not proportional to the pay, then they will back down and give up!".
