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

The coronation ceremony was over, and many cameras captured the scene. The future world-famous painting "The Coronation of the Kaiser in the Hall of Mirrors" was not actually what the scene looked like. After all, that was the Kaiser. How could Bismarck be wearing white clothes? Be special.

No matter how good the relationship between Bismarck and William I was, if this was a special time, it would be hard to know who the coronation was for. It was a crowning ceremony, but this time August asked Tina to wear white clothes.

The main thing is that the clothes August wears are more obvious, because they are custom-made clothes. Although they are said to be military uniforms, they do not look like military uniforms in any way, because they are too gorgeous and can be a bit restrictive.

August asked Tina to wear white clothes, which was considered a joke.

In fact, when Augustus was crowned, basically only the middle part of the entire Hall of Mirrors was empty. The space of the Hall of Mirrors was about [-] meters long and [-] meters wide. Two thousand people, the royal guards and the knights could only stand outside the door.

The exit also took some time, and most of the participants were very hungry, because on the day of the emperor's coronation, everyone went to pray without breakfast. The ceremony lasted from morning to afternoon, and there was no lunch.

The Palace of Versailles said that no one knows dinner better than me. How many Versailles does Versailles have? It must be the grandest dinner.

Finally, I can taste the best ingredients used by the French palace chefs, paired with the best French red wine. Auguste usually eats very simply, after all, he wants to save money, but today he spent French money anyway, no Feeling distressed.

At the banquet, August held up a glass of red wine and said to his cronies: "Ron, you sharpened the sword; Moltke, you used the sword correctly; Bismarck, you have carried out my decrees excellently for many years. The diplomatic mission was completed and Prussia reached the highest point in history."

Among the circle of confidants, August only praised the three people sitting in the front row, but everyone also admitted that Ron was the leader in internal affairs, and basically all subsequent officers were recommended by Ron, even if they were not recommended by Ron. , more or less also attended a few lessons from Ron.

He handed Germany a sharp sword and trained a large number of famous generals, masters in both military and political fields.

Everyone can see how strong Prussia was after the military reform. It punched Denmark, kicked Austria, killed France, and occasionally educated Japanese savages and alien species from America.

This is a strong military, and there is no doubt that he is strong in domestic affairs. Although he did not come to the stage many times, he played a vital role. When all senior Prussian officials went to France to fight, Ron had to be there. The General Staff does all the work alone.

Only he could do all the work well without being annoying, and could make those Zhou Bapi smile and hand over the money. Looking at the whole of Prussia, there were only a few people who could compete with Ron in terms of ability. .

Moreover, he has no enemies and has a good relationship with anyone. No one is his enemy or speaks ill of him.

Old Moltke, the Prussian military god, a generalissimo who could command an army of millions. Who in the whole of Europe can hear his name without trembling. When the enemy hears that the commander of the other side is Moltke, they are already ready. So I packed up my things and ran away with a bucket.

Although he was a little thinner, he was a great strategist. He brought many new tactics to Prussia. With the current level of science and technology, Moltke achieved the ultimate as a military strategist.

He can win wars, and he can win every battle. He knows that war is needed to achieve political goals, rather than follow me with a gun in my hand and punch it all the way to my stomach.

Fight whatever kind of war is needed. After achieving the political goal, he can tie up the large army. This is also the main reason why he can become a god.

Germany has produced many famous generals, but many of them are giants in tactics and dwarfs in strategy. Everyone basically suffers from lack of knowledge. In fact, it is because their ancestors have never been rich. In this small part of Europe, how do you ask them to learn from it? Looking at the overall situation, everyone can only see what is right in front of them. If I kill tens of thousands of people in a country, they will be destroyed. So why should I care about them?

Therefore, in the future super-large-scale world war, after European countries lose their colonies and technological advantages, they will inevitably fall into the abyss of decline, and their position as world hegemon will also change hands.

In fact, the mustaches of later generations are similar. They are capable, but they always feel good. They drift away after winning a battle. They do not stop losses in time. No matter how many famous generals there are, they cannot win. They cannot see the politics brought by war. Hidden danger, he only knows that if he wins, he can steal money, and then expand his army, fight more battles, and steal more money.

Again, you can indeed win, and you will keep winning, but one day you will not be able to win. No powerful country in the world can win all the time. If it fights too many, its national power will gradually be depleted, and eventually it will be It will go to destruction after all kinds of hidden dangers completely explode.

Moltke saw further and was able to follow political needs to win the war, something that many European generals could not do.

But compared to Ron, Moltke's shortcomings are obvious. If the enemy is very strong and there are problems with the plan, Moltke will easily fall into anxiety and worry about whether he can win and whether continuing to fight to the end will affect subsequent deployment. Thinking If you have too many things, you will become very distressed.

But these shortcomings cannot actually be regarded as shortcomings. This is human nature. After all, Zhuge Liang is not always able to strategize and win thousands of miles away. People always make mistakes, and the actual situation cannot completely follow the plan.

Then there is Bismarck, a genius in diplomacy, who is also a master of domestic affairs, an extremely realist and rational politician, and an absolute patriot.

She started from a very low level. It was because of August's relationship that she skyrocketed from the talent recruitment market. At the beginning, she was not favored by others. On the one hand, she was too young, but more importantly, she did not Her own helper, her only supporter is August.

It was against this background that Bismarck began her struggle, relying on coercion and inducement to silence Parliament, and relying on superb diplomatic skills to silence most people.

Tina let the weak Prussia mediate between the big powers, and finally smoothed the gap in strength.

If a weak country plays diplomacy well, it can also get a chance to make a comeback. This is actually the same as mentioned above. To accumulate small advantages and convert them into big advantages, to survive in the cracks, you must learn to ride on the wall.

When beating Denmark, win over Austria. When beating Austria, befriend France. When beating France, befriend Tsarist Russia. These are all part of the strategy. If Weiweiyixiao were to take this position, then no one would know where he is now. That grave remains.

Because of Tina's diplomatic intervention, Prussia will always have a group of helpers to fight a lone enemy, and it can always make other countries feel that it has the skills to take off.

But to be honest, Prussia's success cannot be replicated. Prussia's weak-state diplomacy is very different from ordinary weak-state diplomacy, because Prussia is only very weak compared to Britain and France, and it still has a reduced dimensionality and strike level when facing other countries. Crushing, and Britain also engaged in continental balance of power at the beginning, so Prussia had room for development.

Among these three people, August gave Ron the position of the first hero of the founding of Germany, because without him, no matter how much Bismarck controlled the country, no matter how unparalleled Moltke was, there would be no powerful country to back him up. The miracles of the three dynastic wars are also impossible to achieve.

The second hero goes to Tina. Her diplomatic strategy allowed Prussia to have a bunch of allies and allies to alienate the enemy, so that Prussia would always be at an advantage. She also laid the foundation for Moltke's victory.

The third hero is Moltke. His role is indeed great, but war is a continuation of politics. All Moltke's fantastic tactical designs originated from the paving the way of the previous two.

This ranking is well-deserved, and those who are not ranked are not dissatisfied. After all, if you have the ability, you can compare the three of them...

When the German Empire was established, a long-planned revolution officially kicked off in Paris, France.
