C2069 Skeptical Benjamin

Although Crown Prince Edward liked to play with sex and sex, he was not a fool. When the leader of the family spoke of proper business with him, he immediately listened attentively with a serious face.

"Wake up, my prince. I came here today to talk to you about the visit of the Chinese. The biggest threat I'm referring to is the two men in front of me!"

"The one close to you is the Prussian Bismark, and the one far away is the Chinese Xiao Letian!"

Hearing Benjamin's resolute and decisive voice, the Crown Prince couldn't help but be stunned, "This? How is that possible? Prussia and the Chinese? Hahaha, are you joking? "

"NO!" I'm not kidding. Are you really not going to look at Prussian intelligence? "This ambitious country, from the moment I started developing industry, I could faintly feel the threat …"

"A small landlocked European country facing the fragmented situation of the entire Germany is actually able to train in politics, train in external martial arts, and have both military and industrial strength …"

"Look at Prussia, it has already become a big construction site. The total mileage of the roads and railways has already surpassed the France to become second place in Europe … Of course, let's not mention the extreme examples of Russia, where the territories are too large, just say that in the advanced countries in the central and southern parts of Europe, Prussia already has the power to challenge the France! "

"How many years has it been? When Napoleon was still alive, Prussia was just a small country that was trembling under the barrage of the France. But in just a few decades, they won two consecutive wars, the Pudan War and the Poo War! "

"Now that you have targeted such an overbearing military might at the France, you want to fight the Franco-Prussian War again? "What are they relying on? Isn't it the local coal and iron resources they have, and isn't it the strength they are relying on to develop their industry?"

"Industrial strength is the backbone of a country! Now, are you still going to look at these factories in the West End? "These factories are the steel backbone of an empire. Without them, we are just a second-rate country in Europe!"

"Yes, yes, yes …" Prime Minister, don't be too excited, will you? I admit that you are right... "Men, bring Mazar, who is accompanying you, and spread it out for the leader …"

The nobles were hunting as they were accompanied by guards. They brought wooden folding horses with them and invited the two to sit down.

"Führer, I admit that Prussia has been a little aggressive these last few years, and that the two wars were pretty good... But isn't it a little too early to say that they are a threat to our British Empire? "

"You must know that Prussia doesn't even have a dark blue navy. Just those few dilapidated ships that defend the sea, they want to challenge our British Empire's position? I don't believe it... Furthermore, the Prussian royal family has always been on good terms with our British royal family. "It shouldn't be as serious as you say …"

"No?" Benjamin sighed, "Your Highness! There was no friendship between countries, only benefits! So what if they were related? "Compared to the empire's hegemony, even father and son would have problems!"

"I have a deep concern that France is not doing well... Looks like Bismark is coming for real, I really don't have any evidence to verify my judgement, but I do have this kind of premonition … "

It was hard for Edward to understand where the Führer's worry came from. The British intelligence agencies had already done a very detailed investigation and deductions later on.

Almost everyone believes that 45 percent of the real war is likely to be fought between France and Prussia. More likely, the two sides will settle the dispute through heated negotiations.

Continuing with their analysis, these British elites felt that even if the war broke out, there was a 75% chance that it was a small-scale border conflict. After a short and intense exchange of blows, the outcome of the battle became a bargaining chip on the table.

If he continued his analysis, once a full-scale war broke out between Prussia and France, it would be the kind of war that involved the mobilization of millions of troops from both sides. If such a low probability did occur, Prussia would have a 30% chance of winning, while France would have a 70% chance.

This was already a pre-war analysis, and there were not too many differences among the British leadership. These crafty British politicians wanted a draw between France and Prussia, and they wanted the two sides to wear down their country through war, which would make the gap between them and Britain even larger.

But today, Benjamin said that he made a completely different judgement, which the crown prince did not believe, but he still had to listen to his respect for the Prime Minister.

"Well, I believe the Führer's concern is justified. I will think about it... "But so what if I think about it? You know my situation very well. For such a country, mother will not allow me to interfere …"

"I know, I know the difficulties you are facing, Your Highness …" However, what I want to tell you today is not only the Prussian threat, but more importantly, it's Xiao Letian, the leader of the East.

"Who?" Xiao Letian, huh... Hahaha, you really are funny! " The Crown Prince of Edward held his stomach and laughed, "I was just about to say, you are afraid of Bismark and Prussia, that is still reasonable. But you took a small warlord in the east and said it as a threat to the Empire? "I don't agree …"

Benjamin frowned, he did not feel discontent because of the crown prince's laughter, but instead lightly stated a reasoning, which actually caused Edward's face to change greatly.

"My dear Prince, there are a lot of things you have to answer for. Just looking at Xiao Letian alone is indeed not a threat, but now we have to take Prussia into account. A strong pair of hands can be very dangerous sometimes!"
