The Second Reich: Beginning with the Prince of Prussia

Bismarck's biggest concern before was that the emperor was too anxious to resolve the sharp contradictions within the empire.

He feared that such a haste would likely lead to a big mistake, and might even push the empire into the abyss from which it will never recover.

Therefore, Bismarck has not clearly expressed his support for the emperor's efforts to deal with those kingdoms in the country.

But at this moment, when he heard Andrews's plan, he did not open his mouth to object.

Apparently, Bismarck himself admits that now is the perfect opportunity for them to solve this problem.

It's just that although this matter is beneficial to the country, it is not good for the emperor's personal reputation.

Thinking of this, Bismarck stood up and said:

"Your Majesty, if you can trust me, why don't you let me settle this matter?"

"Over to you?"

Andrews didn't expect Bismarck to suddenly say this, and he was a little stunned for a while.

Didn't Bismarck have reservations about this matter before, wasn't he too supportive?

"Well, no matter how well this kind of thing is handled, it will undoubtedly offend a large number of powerful people, these 26 kinds of things that offend people are still handed over to the old minister to handle well, Your Majesty, your reputation cannot be stained with any stain. "

Bismarck insisted on doing so for his reasons, for as he was getting older, he probably wouldn't be able to do it for many years in the position of prime minister.

And Andrew is still a long year ago, and he can sit in the position of emperor for at least fifty or sixty years, so from a long-term perspective, rather than letting Andrews deal with this matter himself, he will be left with a lot of trouble.

It's better to let yourself deal with it, so that the hatred of those people will only focus on yourself, and will not be angry with the emperor.

In this way, the emperor's reputation will not be damaged, and he will be able to better lead the empire further in the future.

"Teacher, you ......"

Andrews also understood Bismarck's good intentions at this time, and his heart was naturally very moved.

Bismarck is really dedicated to the country!

It is really a great fortune for the Deyi Zhi Empire to have such loyal ministers and good ministers!

"It's okay, Your Majesty, the long-term vision you planned, I'm afraid it's difficult for me to see it alive, since that's the case, it's better to give full play to the residual heat and do the last big thing for Your Majesty!"

Bismarck said with emotion that he is over 70 years old this year, and whether he can live until the next ten years is a question.

According to Andrews's arrangement, the time for the empire to never set and Gaul and other countries to fight should be twenty years later.

At this time, I'm afraid he can't wait.

It is precisely because of this that Bismarck wanted to do this great thing for Andrews when he could still do something!

Andrews is not a hypocritical person, since Bismarck has already said so, he nodded and said to Bismarck seriously:

"In that case, this matter is entirely up to you, teacher!"

Bismarck saw that the other party agreed to his request, and his heart suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and a relieved smile appeared on his face.

His Majesty the Emperor is getting more and more mature!

......

The sun never sets, the foggy capital city.

As Andrews and Bismarck analyzed, in the face of the crisis created by the two countries of Woolly Bear and Italy.

They focused on dealing with the woolly bears, and at the end of July, the sun never set on the Mediterranean Fleet in the Mediterranean, where the sun never sets, during a standoff between the North African Expeditionary Force and the local Ottoman army.

In order to ensure that the exercises were not interfered with, they at one point blocked the shipping routes in the Mediterranean, prohibiting all ships from passing through.

With such a domineering and arrogant attitude towards the people who do not set the sun, the merchant ships of various countries dared to be angry and did not dare to speak, so they could only swallow their anger and accept this arrangement.

No way, who calls the other party the world hegemon and has the most powerful navy in the world?

If they are not convinced, they can fight each other!

The merchants chose to swallow their anger or not take this route and take a long detour from the Cape of Good Hope.

But the other fleet couldn't make a detour, so they were very unhappy about the way the sun never set to block the route!

"Your Excellency, the sun never sets on the blockade of the Mediterranean shipping route in the name of military exercises, which makes our logistical supplies to North Africa stuck in Marsala and unable to reach the coast of North Africa!"

"Right now, the war is raging in North Africa, and if the army on the front line has no supplies of war materials, I'm afraid our offensive will not be able to continue!"

"That's not the most worrying thing, the most worrying thing is that if the soldiers in the army knew that our logistical supply lines were cut off, would they mutiny?"

Within the Italian government, a number of high-ranking officials are worried.

Originally, their war situation in North Africa was not bad, and the Ottoman army was still not as good as it could have been in terms of hard power, so in the face of the Italian attack, the Ottomans continued to retreat, and they had lost several cities one after another.

Seeing that the Italian army had gained a foothold in North Africa, the next step was to take the last few cities of the Ottomans, but the sun never set suddenly intervened.

This made the Italian people feel very stunned and shocked. []

Although the banner of the sun never setting is a normal military exercise, anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is just a cover.

They are obviously targeting the Yili people, otherwise, why don't they practice sooner or later, but at this time?

As soon as they exercised like this, the expansion of Yiduli's side would immediately not be able to continue.

"It seems that 097, the sun never sets, does not want to see us expand in North Africa, they are using this method to warn us and let us retreat!"

Prime Minister Crispie said with a cold look on his face and a tone of resentment.

"Why? They are the largest colonial empire in the world, with tens of millions of square kilometers of colonies, and we just want a colony, so why should they stop us, and what qualifications do they have to stop us?"

"That's right, we are not attacking their territory, this is the territory of the Ottomans, and haven't the Ottomans always been the enemies of the Orthodox state?

Isn't it only natural that we expel the infidels and reclaim the territories that belonged to the Roman Empire?"

"Hmph, I think they don't see the sun setting because they are obviously afraid of us and fear us, otherwise why would they desperately want to destroy our good deeds?"

......

Everyone, you say a word to me, and I can't wait to greet the eighteen generations of our ancestors who never set.

It's just that insults and curses can't solve the problem, and you can't just rely on one mouth to scold the Mediterranean fleet that never sets, right?

Prime Minister Crispi finally calmed down and said to the Foreign Secretary:

"Send a telegram to the people on whom the sun never sets, ask them about their purpose, let us withdraw our troops, but we can't get nothing, if they don't give us a certain amount of compensation, then we will definitely not agree!"
