C412 The warmth under the iron mask

"Goodbye Comte de la Comte de la Comte! Comte de la Comte de la Comte, go well! It's a good thing that Comte de la Comte de la Comte has returned home … " Xiao Letian stood beside Bismark, waving his arms as he watched the carriage drive off into the distance.

Bismark's face couldn't help but twitch with self-satisfaction. "Xiao! My old friend's name is Derby, not Joey... The pronunciation of your word is inaccurate... Look at you, why aren't you changing? Remember that his name is... Derby! "

"Right, it's a joke …" Why do you think you're arguing with me, a Chinese, about pronunciation in English? Aren't you curious about what we talked about? And the Comte de la Comte de la Comte didn't even chat with you? "He doesn't look like a good friend either?"

Of course, Bismark did not know that Xiao Letian was purposely saying the wrong words, and he even more so did not know what the funny guy meant.

"Derby is a notoriously bad temper in European politics. This person has very few friends, and even if he had a few friends, the way he interacted with them was different from other people's. "De Bi respects only the strong. Not only will he not have the slightest bit of sympathy for the weak, he will even take the initiative to taunt them …"

Xiao Letian laughed when he heard it: "Hehe, that's right, I can feel it too. Even if you catch a frog, you still have to squeeze out of it.

Bismark obviously had not heard this Eastern proverb, but after thinking about that scene, he could not help but laugh: "Haha, your analogy is very inappropriate, but very funny …. "Yes, although Derby's personality is unlikeable, you can't deny that he's very suitable for the job of a politician. He has a cold face and a sharp tongue. With such a hedgehog, any enemy will have a headache!"

"Actually, Derby didn't treat me as a friend. He just treated me like a respected expert. As long as the Prussia I control becomes more powerful, he will respect me more and more!"

Saying that, Bismark gave Xiao Letian a weird smile, "I can feel it from the way De Bi is treating you, you succeeded in clearing the trial again, I'm really curious about what is in your head? How can you persuade Derby? "

Xiao Letian shrugged his shoulders, "Actually it's very simple, the British Empire's Prime Minister has personally come to meet with me, a small character. This means that Britain doesn't want to deal with me at all … But the other point is much simpler, so I told him clearly that the person who was the happiest in dealing with Xiao Letian was the Frenchman, and Derby understood everything then … "

Bismark, that old cunning fox, understood immediately. He nodded, "That's right, you have grasped the crux of the problem. In the eyes of the British, helping France will bring your competitor closer and closer to me, while helping you … … "Ke ke, no matter what, it is impossible for you all to catch up to her …"

"Oh, I may be a bit rude when I say it, but I don't think you'll be able to catch up with England in a hundred years... "Well, yes, Britain has made the right choice!"

Xiao Letian was so angry that his nose was crooked, thinking, although what you said is the truth, isn't this tone too impolite? You really aren't giving me any face at all.

"Well, my dear Shaw! Don't look at me that way. I came from Berlin and didn't even eat lunch. Let your cook get ready … "

The abandoned seats in the garden were taken down, the servants were anxiously busy, waiting for the banquet to begin, Bismark told him a piece of good news.

"Just yesterday, 26 Nichols Castle Treaty was signed. Yue Sefu was extremely satisfied with the terms of the contract, and the entire nervous atmosphere in the Vienna dissipated … "Not only that, I've also used some channels to send some messages to the Emperor …"

Bismark said with a smile, "Now that the Austria knows about the things you said in the Sardauar Headquarters, they have even blamed it on you for convincing His Majesty."

"Huh?" Xiao Letian was stunned, "That's not right, I just followed your train of thought and organized the words, the one who managed to convince King of Prussia should be you, right? "Why would you put credit on my head?"

Xiao Letian blinked his eyes. Although he said words of disbelief, he was already so happy that he was about to sing in his heart. The day before yesterday, the Prince Karl had sent someone to bring a whole carriage full of fine wine. From what the prince's bodyguard secretly said, this was a form of gratitude to Xiao Letian.

As expected, in the depths of Prince Karl's throat, there were indeed some extremely small foreign objects. It was thanks to Xiao Letian's timely reminder that the prince had already begun his secret treatment.

On this trip to Europe, Xiao Letian had not only gained Bismark's friendship, but also gained the friendship of two generations of King of Prussia.

On the other hand, during a secret conversation with Prime Minister Derby today, Xiao Letian didn't dare say that they were allies. However, in his heart, Xiao Letian was sure that within a short period of time, Britain and he would also enter a period of relative intimacy. It is in Britain's national interest to give France an extra enemy.

The olive branch from England was already the unexpected gift pack for Xiao Letian, but he did not expect Bismark to present a bigger gift pack today.

"Oh, God! I killed a few thousand soldiers of the Austria in Shiqiao uplands, and I'm even prepared to be avenged by the Austria, how could there be such an unexpected outcome? " Xiao Letian scratched her head in confusion.

"It's simple, His Majesty and the royals really want too much. The Vienna had long since prepared their hearts for the worst. They even started to mobilize the citizens of the Vienna to form a militia and prepare to fight us in the streets. But the Austria never thought that we would actually want so little during the final negotiations, and that it would be different from all of the judgements of the previous observers! "

"Such a great surprise, to the point where even Napoleon III was able to smash apart several plates, caused Russian to be dumbstruck. In the end, I gave you a favor and secretly told the Austria about how you persuaded the Emperor to go back to the headquarters. Do you think they would care about that bloody battle in the Shiqiao uplands? "

"War is always about dying, and mature politicians don't bother with the minutiae... Dear Xiao, your power is still weak, even though you are constantly showing off your muscles to this world, showing off your ruthlessness. But I know that what you need most right now is time for peaceful development... "

"Making more politicians, forces, and countries owe you a favor will still be beneficial to your future development!"

At that time, Xiao Letian's eye sockets turned hot, and he hurriedly coughed loudly, as if his saliva was stuck in his throat. It was only after a long while that he managed to hold back his tears that were about to flow.

"That... That what … "Let's have lunch today. I'll have my wife cook. The dumplings she made are very good …" Xiao Letian awkwardly changed the topic.

Bismark laughed and gave Xiao Letian a cigar. "Alright, let's eat Chinese cuisine today. After I've tasted your wife's culinary skills, I'm becoming more and more interested in Chinese cuisine … "When you return home, you must help me hire a few top Chinese cuisine cooks. I can give you a high salary …"

The relationship between men were not based on words, but rather on doing. The Bismark that appeared in front of Xiao Letian right now was the Bismark that was not in the history book, it was a different appearance under the Iron Blood Mask.

Maybe it was as Bismark had said, his Iron-blood was only for the rise of this country, he was only trying to intimidate the heretic using his strength. He was only trying to gather the limited power in his country through power and pressure.

If he succeeded, it would be the eternal yearning of the German Nationality. If he failed, it would be carrying the burden of ten thousand years of cursing and carrying the rise of a nation by himself. This kind of person's mental world was not something ordinary people could comprehend.

After a long period of silence, Bismark suddenly spoke up, "Based on the current negotiation speed, I think we can conclude an official contract in August. At that time, Prussia will have a grand celebration, and there will also be a military parade. "And your plan, I think the results will be better if we keep it to that time …"

Xiao Letian shook his head: "No, there's no time, even if I leave for home and head to Sinai Peninsula now, by the time I return to East Asia, it would be already mid-October. I really don't know how long my brothers can hold on, I'm really scared! I was afraid that after I returned to Ryukyu, the flag flying on the pier would be a French flag! "

"You don't have to persuade me. Even if you convince the UK to put pressure on Napoleon and make him compromise, it would be too late. By the time the latest order from France arrived in East Asia, it would already be too late."

Xiao Letian ruthlessly rubbed his temples, and said fiercely in the end, "I will leave the hamburger in three days, and help me prepare the boat. It is time for me to return home …"

Bismark looked at Xiao Letian, and said with incomparable regret, "That's right, the Chinese people have said that there would never be a feast that does not scatter, and now it is finally time to part. I'm afraid we'll have to talk about it in letters and telegrams in the future... "

What Bismark said was not wrong, in an era when aircraft had yet to appear, human travel around the world was extremely difficult, the fastest way to travel from China to Europe was three months, and there were many dangers along the way.

Xiao Letian and Bismark were not ordinary rich people, they could travel around the world leisurely on a ship, with always endless official matters beside them, their private lives had already been dedicated to their own country and nation. Unless it was a state visit, the chances of them meeting each other was very slim.

This farewell might really be a farewell!

At this moment, the old and the young foxes had removed all pretense. At this moment, they had forgotten their status as statesmen. Their eyes met each other, and they could not help but look at each other in admiration.

Suddenly, the two of them clasped their hands together and said the same words almost at the same time.

"You muddle along in the east while I muddle along in the west. The world is very big, enough to divide it up …" Satisfaction! "Together!"

F * ck, a politician's way of thinking. That wasn't an honest person's way of thinking. Even their separation had become so unique.
