Welcome to 19th-century Europe, where strength reigns supreme

The emperor of the Ming Empire expressed a diplomatic protest against the British, saying that he wants me to apologize to you. It's a beautiful idea, but it's impossible, absolutely impossible. Give me a hard time!

On September 1859, 9, after more than a week of fermentation, the whole of Europe was filled with a happy atmosphere. France was definitely the happiest. At this time, the British had to make some statements no matter what, whether it was trade sanctions or a declaration of war. Of course, trade sanctions are of no use. Ming Dynasty does not belong to a market economy, and international trade sanctions are of no use to it.

On September 9th, the Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland and the Empress of India, Alexandrina Victoria, officially declared war on the Ming Empire on behalf of the British Empire!

This news shocked the whole world. The two most powerful empires in the world decided to kill each other on this day. Although they officially declared war, Victoria was not as confident as the reports said. In fact, she was also panicked. She has been brainwashed by Shun Ming since she was a child, and thinks that Ming is indeed invincible. Of course she does not believe that her empire will lose, but she is very realistic. She has been sitting on this throne for more than ten years, and she is not that idealistic.

She sent the Minister of Foreign Affairs to personally go to the Palace of Versailles to request Napoleon III's support, and gave many benefits. One of them was that she was willing to give half of the territory of Central Africa to France and control of Indochina to France.

Napoleon III was convinced, and Britain could be said to have given everything it could. Napoleon III's reputation in France soared. He supported Britain diplomatically and declared war on the Ming Empire on September 9.

Anyway, no matter whether Britain wins or the Ming Empire wins, half of Central Africa has been allocated to France, which even includes Germany's future colonies. Indochina adheres to the speculative mentality of taking it as long as it can be taken, and it is not a loss anyway. This is the first time that Britain and France have formed an alliance like this. In the past, it was already very good without fighting to the death.

Britain still wants to enlist the help of the Czar, but Alexander II is not a fool. It may be okay for you two to be so far away, but I border the Ming Empire. What will I do if you lose? Not with!

Russia will not lend a helping hand, so who else can win over it, the Austrian Empire? Forget it, the Austrian Empire can't solve its own domestic problems, so how can it free up its hands to help Britain start a war with another empire that has nothing to do with it?

Anyway, there should be no way to resolve the battle quickly, so August didn’t care too much. He just paid attention to the development of his own country first. Compared with Britain and France, Prussia is his motherland and has so much to do with other countries’ affairs. What to do.

In the 19s, the turmoil was raging. The feudal class wanted to maintain its power and mobilized troops to suppress the revolution and made a revolution at the same time. The new bourgeoisie wanted to revolution for its own interests. The middle class makes a revolution in order to fight for power, and the proletariat wants to revolutionize if it wants to overthrow the current system.

Any revolution can be revolutionized. If you are an individual, you can be revolutionary. Anyway, there is always a reason for you to rebel.

But on the first day of school, Tina disappeared. She took a break from school and went home. The reason is unknown. Anyway, she just went home. August could only hang out here alone. It's annoying. Why not forge a letter of recommendation to get Valentina into the University of Berlin? Otherwise I would be so bored.

Without a playmate, he could only hold back his sleepiness. In his mind, August even thought about applying for a leave of absence. There was no point in torturing himself in law school.

At the end of get out of class, the teacher stopped him and August came to the principal's office. Professor Savini gave August a letter that Tina left for her.

Savini said with some curiosity, "Tina von Bismarck has always been a thorn in the side. I am also curious about why she is so calm recently. It turns out that you have restrained her. She is indeed the daughter of a duke, but your father's death I'm deeply sorry."

"Me too. Although he is a bit stubborn, he is my father after all..."

"By the way, you should have some connection with the current king. What he did seems to have gone too far..."

"Brother, what happened to him?"

"His decisions have had a very bad impact on society as a whole, prohibiting workers from practicing religious practices, canceling weekly holidays and other..."

August's head was aching. What was Walrich doing? The Prussian National Assembly actually passed it. This is the most insane thing. Although they disagree, it doesn't matter. This national assembly sounds nice, but in fact it has no decision-making power on the resolution. Prussia is a very pure monarchy, and It was not a constitutional monarchy, and the king had great power, but this was indeed too much, and August had an ominous premonition.

August read the letter that Tina left for him, and briefly introduced the situation of his family and the reason why he came home. The general meaning was that his father was out gambling, and his losses were buried, and his mother had no money. He went back to his parents' house in a squandering mood.

The Bismarck family has been squeezed out of its last wealth. Despite his mother's extravagant life, the old Bismarck has no military talent. He can only earn the minimum wage and has no ability to farm. All [-] hectares of land have been turned into wasteland. She liked stud, but ended up losing everything, and Tina herself was spending money like water in Berlin and causing trouble everywhere, causing the family to lose money and be embarrassed.

After meeting Karl, she went out of her way to buy a few of Karl's works. Of course, the ones she bought secretly in Paris were not like this in Prussia. The idealistic thoughts in them benefited Tina a lot. She decided to revitalize the family in a down-to-earth manner first. First of all, let alone profit, success is considered as paying off the debt.

Tina honestly took a break from school and went home to take care of her farm. By the way, she also gave August her home address so that she could write to herself if she had anything to do.

August was a little dumbfounded, and felt inexplicably happy. The iron-blooded prime minister was going to join the Communist Party. Why would I have such a dream? But after all, it is not a bad thing. Tina will not really stand on the left side, but can become a pointer. As the sharp blade of the left, August needs someone who is calm and composed, and now, she is completing such a transformation.

But I think now that Tina is away, I have a lot of leisure time. It’s good to go to a cafe to kill some time. I also met Valentina on the way. I have to say that Berlin is really small. She was holding the shopping bag she just bought. vegetable.

"What's wrong with Valentina? Isn't the direction of home over there?"

"Miss, the road is blocked. I have been walking around for half an hour..." Valentina was about to cry without tears. August wanted to say something about the situation and then walked to where he was picked up. Go on, she understood immediately.

Workers ran into the streets and paraded with hammers, wrenches or other gadgets. The whole thing was a medieval hodgepodge. The main thing is that you don't know what else you can do with those rusty swords and spears.

This demonstration team was also full of magic. Workers' groups, Protestant groups, Catholic groups, and merchants and capitalists all came.

These classes that could not possibly be united have actually formed an unprecedented alliance. TM Protestants and Catholics have united. Is there anything more nonsense in the world than this?

The people of August were stunned. They could not go back to their homes. The main roads were blocked by the parade. Only the devil who made this decision could figure out how he could accurately step on the minefield and offend all classes. The priests could not bear it any longer.

Valentina pointed to the Prussian army appearing in the distance, "Miss August, she is from the army!"

"army?"

It seems that King Prussia is going to suppress it violently. He adheres to the principle of solving the problem from the root. As long as the person who raised the problem is dead, the problem will no longer exist. There is absolutely no way that my Prussian policy can go wrong. The king has always been great. How could a great king make a wrong decision? If there is a problem, it must be the problem of these unruly people.

Violent suppression is a very normal thing. If this kind of violent demonstration cannot be solved, then violent suppression is used. King Prussia likes to use this method best. It is easy and convenient. The Czarist Russia next door calls him an expert.

Even the heavy cavalry came. If they hit it, more than a dozen people would be overturned, and then the demonstration team would collapse.

European countries don't seem to know that they have enacted laws prohibiting parades. If they parade, people can be jailed for violating order. It's reasonable and legal, but you can't say anything.

However, King Pu was not interested in the people's resistance. Anyway, their army was invincible in the country. From the Middle Ages to today, violent suppression was feasible. They have also solved such problems countless times. Regarding the people's views, isn't that a gray animal?

But one day, the people's anger cannot be suppressed. When the people can no longer survive, they will not be afraid of sacrifice and destroy the country at all costs.

France next door has proven this, but after [-] or [-] years, these old aristocrats have healed their scars and forgotten the pain.

Auguste had to think about when this country would perish. It would be bad if the country was gone before she ascended the throne.
