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

Valentina entered the General Staff. She received Tina's request yesterday. No matter what, she had to convince Steinmetz that it was best for him to support her. If she couldn't do that, at least she had to keep him silent and suppress it. Don't let his troops get into trouble.

After Valentina told Steinmetz about the matter, the newly-appointed marshal was a little confused. He hadn't figured out what happened yet, but it was okay to use the wording. It probably meant that he was not allowed to be flattered. Food prices have increased and will have to be regulated by the government in the future.

In the minister's office, Steinmetz looked at Valentina. Although she was very beautiful, to be honest, she was still a little inferior to August, but that didn't matter.

Steinmetz: "You want me to remain silent on this economic bill. First of all, of course I can do it. Of course I know how to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, so as far as my position in the Juncker class is concerned, I am not I absolutely cannot support it, but the army must be considered. Even I cannot unify the opinions of the entire army. Although I am a marshal, I am not the only marshal. Although I am a deputy minister, I have just taken office. By a month, I honestly can’t guarantee that something will happen to August.”

Valentina: "Mr. Steinmetz, I can only rely on you. With your influence, as long as you can help His Highness August explain the content of the copy, I believe everyone will understand it."

Steinmetz: "Do you know the consequences, Miss Valentina? If I make a statement, it means that I am completely on August's side. Although I really hope that August can succeed, if she If it fails, I will be responsible. If the parliament is willing to stand with August, then I can’t do anything superficial, but it’s hard for me to believe that those old fritters can agree.”

Valentina: "Miss Tina will definitely be able to convince the parliament, so I have to convince you too! Hasn't your army always been called the unjust army? It is always used to suppress people's uprisings. In the eyes of the people, it is An army used for exploitation, do you want to make great achievements or suffer infamy?"

Steinmetz: "What do you mean?"

Valentina: "Compared to what the unjust army says, an army that makes the most correct decisions at the most dangerous moment is the best army for the people. Nobles will not praise the glory of the army. What are you doing? Not worth mentioning in their eyes, you must know who you are protecting, the messy nobles with no achievements or the [-] million people of Prussia!"

Steinmetz was silent. He wanted to take off his hat. He had thought about it a long time ago. He joined the army to win battles and achieve military exploits. But now the army is not to mention the great powers. The weaker ones are even Denmark. If you can't defeat them, what can you do with such an army?

"I will ensure that there is no problem with the army. If August succeeds, she must mention our contribution."

"Of course, I believe Miss August will."

……

Things on the military side are settled. At least Steinmetz's most combat-effective army will not have any problems. If there is a mutiny by the army in other areas, don't be afraid, just suppress it in the name of rebellion. , now only the parliament side is left.

August's plan of lifting the roof and opening the windows almost frustrated the entire Parliament, but now he has come up with another proposal. The Parliament's tolerance for August is lower than that of the army, and they don't mind letting waste from other families If you come to be the regent, you can't go too far anyway.

probably……

Valentina has succeeded, and now the focus of promoting this reform is the parliament. Obviously, the parliament is a hard nut, and Tina can't swallow it in one breath, so she can only rub it in.

The Congress was really full of gunpowder this time. The moment Tina walked in, she felt the strong gazes around her.

"Bismarck, what are you doing here? You have no right to speak here!"

"A little girl still dreams of becoming prime minister. Even if His Highness Auguste recommends you, we will not agree!"

"Your proposal should be shown to elementary school students!"

As expected, the trouble was big...Prussia has always been pursuing male chauvinism. Although August became the regent, he was a serious aristocrat and the owner of Prussia, but Tina Who are you? If you have no fame or status, why should others respect you?

There was a lot of noise in the Congress, and white papers were flying all over the sky. Those who didn't know it thought it was a set of the Darkest Hour, but if it was, it would be better, at least support would be flying everywhere.

Of course, some people also want to give Tina a blow. If Tina really becomes the prime minister, it will undoubtedly slap them in the face.

They didn't even look at the proposal Tina gave, and the abuses from the parliamentary masters became more and more intense. The traditional members were the harshest. They couldn't tolerate women like Tina entering politics.

Tina ignored the nonsense and began to explain her point of view. Occasionally, a few wine glasses flew in front of Tina, but Tina would always dodge them with a gorgeous dodge.

"Now Prussia's gold reserves are very poor, and the government's debt has reached [-] million pounds. This is the current statistics from the Berlin Bank. Although only the statistics of [-] banks were investigated, this figure It’s quite intuitive. No matter how much the difference is, there won’t be an error of half a million pounds..."

"Get out of here Bismarck, we don't have time to listen to you!"

“The Prussian economy is in danger now, with high government debt. If this continues, the real economy becomes empty and the possibility of a soft landing is completely lost. Then if the prices of coal mines, iron ore and timber, which Prussia relies on for survival, fall, Prussia will be completely doomed. "

"Bismarck! We will never pass your proposal! Get out!"

"For Prussia, we need to abolish the gold standard so that our companies can expand markets overseas while meeting domestic demand. The method to solve the problem is given in His Highness August's National Economic Relief Act. This method is not necessarily It is perfect and will even affect many people, but Prussia needs this law and we need the support of MPs."

The congressman was still yelling, and Tina could only cover them with a louder voice. Tina's voice was much louder than August's, and she was able to calm down the situation. The speaker saw that something was wrong, and he wanted to destroy the parliament. The hall was demolished, right?

With a heavy hammer sound, everyone stopped arguing.

"What are you making the noise about? Do you think this is a vegetable market? It seems that the Prussian Parliament has not turned into a zoo, right?"

After everyone calmed down, the speaker announced the start of voting. The opposition was particularly fierce. In this case, [-] of the [-] members present voted against, and the remaining [-] people abstained from voting. Most of them were The people in the army were close to August and were not willing to make things difficult for Tina too much.

Some of them really want to support the proposal, but in the face of such loud criticism, they have the heart but not the courage.

The meeting finally adjourned and the proposal failed to pass because most of these congressmen discriminated against women, and the small group of people who did not discriminate against women would be affected by the majority. This is normal.

Tina stood on the podium a little disappointed. She was a little surprised and a little angry. In the end, she could only hammer the table and leave angrily.

Tina had no choice but to break up unhappy today. She could be considered as betraying August's trust. She originally thought that the army was the most difficult to serve, but she didn't expect that the master of the council would be even more difficult to serve.

"A bunch of bugs... Even if they don't let me be Prime Minister, aren't they afraid of losing their lives? They know the situation in Prussia best, and they don't agree with this..."

Valentina listened to Tina's complaints in the office. She couldn't help it. Even if she went there again, it would be the same. Because she was from the General Staff and had no conflict with these civil servants, she was not popular, but Ti Na is different, she is a candidate for prime minister, and those people have probably thought about what will be the headline of tomorrow's news.

August is not in the Capitol now. She has more important things to do, stop the strike.
