C2471 conspiracy calculation

With regards to the situation in Prussia and France, Xiao Letian had already thought about it a lot. With his memories from his previous life and his judgement of the current situation, he quickly came up with an answer.

To deal with France, we need to know where the core interests of France lie at present. Now that Britain and France occupy the world's largest colonies, it can be said that it is difficult for France to make a breakthrough in the colonies.

Why did they need to build a Suez Canal with all their might? They knew very well that it would be impossible to expand through the colony, and the British would suppress them, so he set his sights on the Suez Canal, and wanted to increase the strength of the country by controlling the main roads.

However, the British were not stupid, they could see through the French's intention, and the British also coveted the Suez Canal's huge benefits, so now that the Suez Canal had become a complicated situation where the English and French held a joint ownership of the Suez Canal, it was very hard to resolve in the short term.

Putting aside the global interests, because that is mainly the diplomatic conflict between Britain and France, the conflict between us and the France is still in Europe, which means that the greatest threat to Napoleon is still the European interests.

What is France's core interest at present? In particular, France's core interests in Europe? There was no need to talk about Hai Yang's safety because that was the Royal Navy's mission. They would suppress the France tightly, and Napoleon III would have no way to deal with the Royal Navy.

The key to the remaining problem is the security of the territories on land. We can take a close look at the composition of France's territories, with the seas on both sides, the Mediterranean and the Atlantic Ocean. This limits the mobility of the armies of other countries, and the biggest direct threat to his northern border is our German Federation.

And what was the biggest threat in the south? Spain. In other words, if we want to understand Napoleon III's bloodline, we have to look for a way to break through from the north. Why do we have to be so involved in the fight for the throne of Spain? Just to mess with him on the southern border of France.

After the Spanish Revolution, the first choice for Spain's Interim Government was still the Prince of the Hohenzollern Royal Family of the Germany to serve as Emperor of Spain. Of course, this was not what Napoleon wanted. He wanted them to be his own kinsman, the king of Spain.

This is related to the safety of the southern side of the France, and is an unnegotiable iron wire. Therefore, as long as we can tightly grasp onto this iron wire, it would be very easy for Napoleon to control his emotions.

As long as we carefully take Spain as a wasp, we can still affect the emotions of the nationalist in France.

Firstly, we can influence the public opinion. As long as we show a very, very great interest in the Spanish throne, then there will be a few fanatical French Nation people who will jump out to cause trouble for us. At that time, someone will help us put pressure on Napoleon III to force the war!

Second, we will turn our attention to the north. Where is the core conflict zone? In the Bavaria, in the Hesse, and in the Dumstadt region.

These regions belonged to the area where French and German were mixed together. The ethnic composition was very complicated and the ethnic structure was also very chaotic. It could be said that the Germany and the France both had their own demands for its sovereignty. The truth was that no matter which country those territories belonged to, they would be able to find their own basis in international law.

Napoleon felt that if he remained neutral among the Poo War, then we, Prussia, must give up these lands as a token of gratitude. To be honest, his demands made sense in the eyes of many European kings.

It is the best chance for us to fight for the Southern Germany. I want to respect Prime Minister, you have already started setting it up.

Southern Germany, these little States s, their attitudes were very ambiguous. First, they did not want to be annexed by the French, and second, they did not want to be annexed by Prussia. These weak States, they only thought of one thing, and that was to always protect their own interests and continue to be independent.

Unfortunately, this world no longer gave them any space to be independent. Under the threat of war, they had to make their choice.

In a battle between two strong individuals, they could only choose one side. The two evils would be better than the other, so who would be the weakest? Obviously, it's Prussia.

After all, the rulers of these regions belonged to the same cultural circle as Prussia, which was closer in cultural and emotional terms.

Since this is the case, we can make a big fuss about the France's threat, and let the king give some chips to these Southern Germany's lords, so that they can guarantee their future benefits after unification.

I think that under the dual actions of interests and national feelings, the final scale of war will definitely turn towards the Germany. These Southern States definitely won't be together with the French.

We can secretly carry out these petty tricks now, and interfere with Spain in a very covert manner while meddling with the Southern Germany. We won't let Napoleon III notice anything early on, but instead we'll give him some anesthetic to stabilize his emotions.

We can express our desire for peace on various occasions, and we can properly recognize it.

That was the only way to disrupt the pace of French preparations, and when most of them thought that war was unlikely to happen, the moneybags didn't waste their money on reorganizing the troops.

That was a country's usurer. Wasn't it better to pay interest on a loan than to waste time preparing for a war?

This summer, when we are fully prepared, we will find the right time to expose the whole matter of Spain, as well as the northern border of France, namely the Southern Germany.

At that time, Napoleon would definitely take the initiative to start a war. As long as he takes the initiative to declare war on us, everything would be under his control.

Bismark laughed very happily: "My old friend, your plan is exactly the same as mine, but I am still a little worried …"

However, there is still a group of rational politicians in France. Even his Queen Ou Renni is a very scheming woman, what if they managed to persuade the crazy French Emperor at that time? "

"Although 62 year old people are crazy, but old people at that age can also have very soft ears. Their emotions are unstable, what if Queen Ou Renni's wind around the pillow works, what should we do?"

"How do you defeat the cool old foxes of French politics? Do you have a better way? "

Xiao Letian laughed faintly: "Nothing like that will happen. I am certain that Napoleon III will declare war … He will not care about anyone's persuasion and will proactively declare war on us! "

"Because I still have another trump card that I haven't used yet!"
