The prince came to meet Besmai to discuss the Dakar incident specifically. The two of them looked solemn and did not exchange greetings and directly entered the topic.

"Carl, I think we should remind Xiao Letian. It is too dangerous to take risks like this. We do not have the strength to confront the entire world. The industry, economy, and military strength of Britain are not something we can fight against. This is playing with fire!"

Carl shook his head gently, "It's not that serious. Those young people studying abroad are just impulsive. It is understandable that they will react like this when they are provoked... I think it's better to give some help!"

Bisme lit his pipe and took a deep breath, "Overreaction? I think they are all a group of war-torn warriors. Is that true self-defense? Is it just to test the combat performance of the warships on the way back to China. It's too unrealistic, and this will ruin our plan!"

"Carl, you must remember that if we want to compete with France for the hegemony of the European continent, we must endure it for a while. Our arsenal is intensively producing weapons and ammunition, our farm is preparing military rations for the army for war, and our steel mills provide steel for the empire day and night..."

"And our huge government is trying our best to increase revenue and reduce expenditure to raise every mark for the war!"

"Don't underestimate France. We must use sufficient preparation to instantly crush the lax France. We must use absolute strength to shock the top leaders of France in the early stages of the war and make them feel scared!"

"What we need to do now is not to challenge France's dignity in advance and let them join the arms race. If France begins to prepare for the war in full, then with their strong capital strength, we Prussia will not get any benefits!"

Carl was speechless. He knew that every word the Prime Minister said was a sensible saying that was unrefutable. France was already a unified nationalist country and had a huge overseas colony. Both the government and the people had strong financial resources, and the industry and military strength were even stronger.

Let’s look at Prussia. Until now, there is no unified Germany. There is no overseas colony. The financial power is almost drained by military plans. The wealth of the people is almost on the verge of exhaustion.

This is a big gamble, a big gamble in Chinese terms, which is a martial gamble. The only advantage of Prussia over France is actually only national character.

The rigorous Prussians have decided to fight this fate, while the romantic French are still immersed in the tempting aroma of candlelight supper and wine. The newly built Paris is as beautiful as a fairy tale, and the luxurious atmosphere has softened their bones.

Facts have proved that France generally has the dominance of the two old enemies of Germany and France in hundreds of years of competition. The reason is very simple. France's geographical location itself is better than Germany. It faces the vast coastline of the Atlantic Ocean, allowing him to avoid the blockade of the British navy and join the army of global colonial plunder.

What's more, France was reunited much earlier than Germany, and the accumulated national strength and the gathered nationalist spirit were also stronger.

In real history, several major battles in which Germany defeated France were fought with speed and slow, and were prepared for it without preparation. This was the case with the French-Prussian War. During the repeated deceptions of Pessim, France did not use all its national strength to prepare for the war.

To put it simply, Prussia concentrated 100% of the country's forces for military preparation, while France at that time only used one-tenth of its forces for military preparation. This is why France clearly had more troops than Prussia, but it was not mobilized at all in the early stages of the war.

There is also World War II, and Hitler's blitzkrieg made the world even more shocked. The powerful France was completely crushed into pieces by the torrent of Nazi tanks after only six weeks of resistance.

However, once France and Germany enter a stalemate or the war burns to Germany, the final failure will inevitably be Germany. This is a curse, and it is actually an inevitable one.

During World War I, the British and French coalition forces and the Germans were in a stalemate on the Western Front, and countless flesh and blood were piled up. After the war situation fell into a protracted and hard battle, the old problem of German economy being weak in the subsequent economy was naturally violated.

There was also Napoleon's conquest of Prussia. When the war hit the Germans' land and the Germans were unable to effectively mobilize national strength, the seemingly accidental defeat was actually an inevitable one.

Of course, there is also the late World War II. When Nazi Germany's resources were divided into various fronts and the war entered a stalemate, the eternal nightmare of national strength began to torture them again.

The root of everything is national strength. War is just burning money. Everyone understands that France has more money than Germany. Germany cannot refute this. The final result of a protracted war must be the victory of the side with more money. This gap in national strength is far from being able to make up for by a few military geniuses.

So Prince Carl had to sigh. He knew the Prime Minister's plan very well. Bisme was to use provocations again and again and then show weakness, constantly making France angry without feeling serious threats.

Bismeer was developing a general strategy completely because of Napoleon III's temper. This old fox knew too much about the other French fox. He had to make Napoleon III angry through a small provocation. Only when he was angry would he make a fool of himself.

But anger cannot be transformed into strength. This anger should be concentrated on Napoleon III, and the bureaucrats in the cabinet must not be able to feel this anger.

The reason is simple. If the French emperor and the ministers of the administrative cabinet are angry, then the entire France will definitely enter the fast lane of preparation for war. Once France's military potential begins to mobilize in general, then Prussia will have no chance of victory at all.

Because of this, after successfully making Napoleon III angry, Bismeer will quickly show weakness, just like this Spanish heir crisis, which started to be very fierce but still had to surrender in the end.

It's like teasing a dog. First, it's frustrating, and then quickly throws the bones into his body to calm him down, and repeats it over and over again until he makes the dog become a mad dog.

Prince Carl sighed and touched a cigar from the Prime Minister's table to smoke. The Prime Minister said sternly, "The doctor has told you not to smoke or drink too much, your throat cannot stand it!"

This is a rare signal of warm care to Carl. The prince suddenly felt warm and moved, "Dear Prime Minister, of course I know your plan to anger the French emperor, but I cannot anger the entire French bureaucracy and capitalist elites, let alone the UK..."

"I know your strategy very well. You are trying to ensure the suddenness of the war and paralyze France from carrying out large-scale armament... These Chinese children have really disrupted your plans!"

Carl was silent for a moment, "But I still have to ask for love for these children! What they did cannot be said to be wrong. In the seemingly bad results, I think there are still some highlights!"

The writing is slow because there is too much information to be read and analyzed. Just like today's chapter, it seems to be just a simple conversation between Prince Carl and Besmer. In fact, this chapter has already named the strategic core of Besmer in the Franco-Prussian War.

In real history, this is how the Franco-Prussian War was won. In history, the cunning of these politicians who were like nine-tailed foxes was simply unimaginable. Their analysis of the enemy's psychology was so meticulous.

It’s terrible to think about it carefully! As future generations, we can analyze these great figures in history, and it seems that we can comment in a joking tone, but if you are really born in the same era as them and you don’t have the accumulation of these predicted historical knowledge and experience, do you want to play games with these people?

I'm afraid I'll die and not even have a little left!

Brothers, follow the steps of Yinlong! Although this is just an online book, the original appearance of history has not been destroyed much. Reading it a lot of knowledge will be done a lot.

To be a joke, when you drink and brag about friends in the future, you can brag about a few more topics than them! If reading this book can make you feel a little bit of spiritual shock or a little bit of touch, then even if my heart is pure and I have a good relationship with you, it is great!

My efforts have also given me a little positive energy.

Dear students, when your teacher and your elders ask what online articles you are reading? You have to check what kind of bad things you are reading.
