253 The Prestige of the Jagged Prime Minister
When people get along with each other, you don’t believe that aura is not good. Three hundred warriors from the East faced the siege of thousands of imperial guards and looked at the black muzzles with a cold smile. None of them was timid, and even their momentum was not weak at all.
But it is strange that when they faced Pismai, everyone felt a little bit like they were facing Xiao Letian. It cannot be said to be fearful, but it was definitely very awe.
To apply Zeng Guofan's analysis, this iron-blooded prime minister should be regarded as the hidden dragon of the German nation. Such a person is naturally powerful without being angry and has a breathtaking aura. He is essentially the same type of person as Xiao Letian, and even more than that.
After all, Bersmai has started the German tank and is now charging at high speed. Xiao Letian is now shaking his handles to death. It seems that this broken tractor in the Qing Dynasty is difficult to start.
The Iron-blooded Prime Minister reasoned to these young men in a calm tone without emotion.
"What are you afraid of? Are you afraid that the German people will destroy your money? Or do you not believe in my character? But who can you believe in me if you don't believe me?"
"I'm very frank to tell you that your idea of hijacking the prince from Europe is simply impossible to realize. The Atlantic Ocean is completely under the world of the British and French navies. As long as the merchant ship leaves the North Sea, you will be targeted by the British or French..."
"Don't think there are no spies here in Hamburg. Such a big and explosive news will spread throughout Europe in less than a week. At that time, the Atlantic Generals are full of warships, and all the lookout hands will stare at your eyes and search for your figures. The huge sum of one million taels of silver coins is not unpopular that country doesn't like. Then you will know what it means to eat black... "
"What is the consequence of being determined to do whatever you want? It is to lose wealth, lose your life, and finally leave such a terrible enemy as the Prussian nation. All your prime minister's expectations will be shattered. Not only that, they will also receive crazy revenge from the entire Prussian nation..."
"Tell me, is this what you want? If so, take His Highness the Prince away and let him die in the ocean with you!"
Pisme is really an excellent politician with insight into people's hearts. He has already felt the momentum of these Eastern warriors looking at death as soon as he entered the house. He knows that using intimidation method is absolutely ineffective.
Where is the weakness of these people? Others may not guess, but they can guess it with a turn of their eyes. They are not afraid of fighting or sacrifice. They look at life and death with a smile, and even dare to hold the prince hostage.
To put it more exaggeratedly, such soldiers can already call them hero companies. Will they have weaknesses? Of course, there will be the creator who has personally created them with iron-mindedness.
The iron army did not fall out of thin air. It needed to be brought out step by step by step by hero, and it needed to be personally guided by the trendsetters of the times. The core figure who unites people's hearts is the weakness in the hearts of these young men.
They may not be afraid of life and death, but they are afraid of dying and failing to complete the task, and they are even more afraid that their wrong judgments will bring unnecessary danger to their leaders. This kind of mentality is the weakness. As long as they seize this breakthrough, there will be no negotiations that cannot be reached.
Sure enough, Bismarck's analysis hit the hearts of all the new troops like a heavy hammer, and these young men became confused. Xiao Hexin and the others gathered together and whispered nervously, and it took a long time to speak.
"What you said may make sense, but how do you ensure that you keep your promise? Who can guarantee you..."
Just halfway through Yonas' translation, he heard a angrily shouting "Guarantee! You actually want a guarantee from me? OK, I will tell you what my guarantee is..."
"The title of Iron-blooded Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Prussia is my guarantee! The title of chief designer of the German National Rejuvenation Plan is my guarantee! The love of tens of millions of Germans for me is my guarantee! What else do you want?"
"Just because of your Prime Minister Xiao Letian, the biggest guarantee is that he does not give the king a secret letter but gives me a secret letter! Xiao Letian believes in me, but you are questioning me!" Bisme's anger made the Prussian soldiers present shudder, and the Iron-blooded Prime Minister is indeed worthy of his name.
Bisme took three deep breaths and suddenly ordered, "Three hundred new Eastern soldiers, all of them obey my orders... stand at attention!"
Almost subconsciously, the three hundred soldiers gathered their heels together, and the sound of leather boots colliding neatly and loudly.
"Free the prince, you will be directly commanded by the General Staff Headquarters from today, and will be in charge of Chief Mao and General Staff... As the Prime Minister of the Kingdom, I pardon you for your sins of disrespecting the prince today!"
Speaking of this, Bismai whispered to Xiao Hexin, "Until now, you have no other choice except to believe me..."
Speaking of this, there was no way to continue the stalemate. Under the order of Bisme, the Guards' rifles were put down, and Prince Carl finally regained his freedom.
When the prince walked behind the Prime Minister, before he could comfort him, the angry prince shouted, "Start fire, everyone fires, kill these Eastern barbarians..." Some soldiers subconsciously wanted to raise their guns.
At this time, Pismey was completely furious, "Shut up! If you interfere in the diplomatic affairs of the empire again, I will personally write to Your Majesty to confine you, and I will deprive you of the command of the army. Don't challenge my patience!"
Under the strict order of Bisme, the raised rifles were put down again, and Carl's face turned pale, but he could do nothing to do when facing the powerful prime minister.
The feudal kingdoms in Europe are different from China. There is no saying that imperial power is the most important. The king is sometimes just a symbol, and powerful ministers can completely overtake the royal power.
In real history, when the Prussian War ended, Besmai was preparing to sign a contract with Austria, but the king and the prince hoped to expand the results of the war and attack Vienna. As a result, Besmai threatened by resigning from office and not doing anything, but the king had no choice but to agree to the Prime Minister's strategic plan.
The power of the Iron-blooded Prime Minister is undoubtedly reflected in this matter.
Prince Carl gritted his teeth and shook his head at these Chinese people, "You will not do what you want. I will try my best to destroy your agreement. I will always stick to my previous point of view. The German nation will never be able to form an alliance with the sheep, forever..." After that, he turned around and left.
As His Highness the Prince left, the Prussian army surrounding the barracks spread out in circles like peeling onions, and in the end even the three thousand guards who were watching retreated.
After the crisis was lifted, Bismarck began to arrange his direct guard to take over the silver coins, but the new army did not continue to insist. They knew that the money would definitely not be brought back to China. Instead of letting the dangerous elements worry about it, it would be better to hand it over to the Prime Minister happily.
"I will hire the most savvy Jewish businessman to manage this money. I will set up a foundation. This is also the suggestion of your Prime Minister's secret letter. Such a huge wealth, interest alone, is enough for your life in Europe, including the continuous stream of Chinese students in the future, and the interest in this huge sum of money can also be used..."
"Okay, boys, you can change into casual clothes and rest in the back. I wish you a happy life in Germany!" After saying that, the Prime Minister turned around and wanted to leave.
Now the Three Hundred New Army is a furious "What does it mean? Let's stay in the rear? We come to Germany to participate in the war. We want to establish authority for the Chinese. What's the matter with hiding behind?"
The brothers surrounded the Prime Minister in an instant and surrounded the Prime Minister. When the Prime Minister's direct guard saw that it was so great, he rushed in to rescue Beismai. Although the two groups of people did not move their fists, they pushed the bull away.
"We want to participate in the war, we want to go to the front line to study, what we need is actual combat..."
"Back back, you all retreat back, and you are not allowed to attack the Prime Minister..."
"Stop pushing, everyone is calm, everything is up to the Prime Minister. Don't the Chinese have an old saying that guests follow the host's wishes..."
"Bad, Yonas, what you said is better than what you sang. We sent one million taels of silver coins, but we didn't let us go to the battlefield. Do you think we are easy to bully?"
The Chinese and German mixed together made the military camp a mess, and the Prussian soldiers who had not walked far away subconsciously wanted to run over, but were stopped by the direct guards.
Bisme was not angry at all, but instead became excited. These young Chinese men actually participated in the war so strongly, which shows that the bloodiness of the ancient empire has not been destroyed. If such a brave man, Xiao Letian, had 100,000 yuan, perhaps he could really change the fate of the ancient empire.
"Children, guests from afar, please listen to me..." Bisme raised his hand to suppress the noise present. "War is not a joke, modern warfare is a science. Just a little courage is not enough. You have to learn a lot. Not to mention anything else, you are even struggling to communicate normally. Do you want to bring your translator to the battlefield?"
"What you have to do now is study patiently. I will let Jonas be the general coordinator around you, and he will select the best instructors to train you. Whether you can go to the battlefield depends on your grades..."
"But one thing I can guarantee is that when the war really begins, even if you can't directly participate in the war, I will allow you to go to the front line to observe. I promise!"
The conflict of one day has completely disappeared. Although the new army was reluctant, they could not refute the Prime Minister's reason. Fortunately, Bismarck did not close the door and left them a glimmer of hope. For this glimmer of hope, they also fought for it.
When Besme left, Jonas and the adjutants of the Guard began to coordinate the life and study of these new troops. Dozens of tailors began to tailor their casual clothes, and they could not let these Chinese people move back and forth in beautiful clothes, especially the casual clothes of several officers, which had to be very careful.
The logistics quarantine officer sent tens of thousands of tale silver coins, which were pocket money for the new army in Germany, and the Prime Minister ordered these Chinese people to withdraw silver coins below 10,000 tale silver coins at any time, and no one could stop them.
Next is the brand new Prussian individual equipment. From tomorrow, the Hamburg recruit training camp will close the 100-acre forest in the north and serve as a special training ground for the Chinese.
Everything is beginning to develop in a positive direction, and the atmosphere of preparation for war has become increasingly intense.
"Xiao, I will come to pick you up tomorrow. The matter of asking me is already obvious. I will take you to have an interview with that person in person!" When they parted in the evening, Jonas and Xiao Hexin made an appointment.
Chapter completed!
