The Second Reich: Beginning with the Prince of Prussia

"Is the teacher worried about possible interference from the countries?"

Seeing Bismarck's anxious look, Andrews guessed his thoughts.

Bismarck nodded, and said with a worried face:

"Your Majesty, the countries of Gaul and Hairy Bear, where the sun never sets, originally had the intention of forming an alliance, and now they are sending troops at the same time, one that threatens our maritime security at sea, and can cut off our sea routes at any time.

A border area with Chen soldiers has a tendency to invade the Rhine region and rekindle a war between the two countries.

As for the hairy bears, although we have no deep hatred with them, and there is no fundamental conflict of interest, it has become a habit for the hairy bears to take advantage of the fire to rob, as long as we show flaws on our side and make them feel that there is an opportunity, then they will definitely not let go of such an opportunity!"

Although the strength of the Second Empire is strong, they still can't parry it in the face of these three major powers at the same time!

Bismarck's biggest fear was that the three countries would unite and attack the empire from the east and west, in which case the empire would be in a very passive position.

And now, what he fears the most is right in front of him, and it is about to happen, how can he be calm?

After hearing Bismarck's worries, Andrews smiled and said:

"The situation may seem dire, but it has not reached the point of no return. "

"Does Your Majesty have a way to solve the crisis?"

Bismarck looked up, looked at Andrews, and asked curiously.

"Of course there is a way, but it comes at a cost!"

Andrews seems to be weighing whether the cost is proportional to the benefit.

Bismarck was puzzled at first, but after hearing Andrews's words, he seemed to realize something, and said in amazement:

"Your Majesty means political marriages?"

Andrews is fifteen years old this year, not yet an adult, and naturally he has not made any family appointments.

But when the emperors of various countries ascended the throne and were crowned, there were few who did not marry.

After all, if there is no queen, there will be no prince, and if there is no prince as the heir, once something happens to the emperor, the empire will be in chaos immediately!

Just like this time, it is because Andrews is not a direct descendant of William I that the process of transferring power will be twists and turns.

"Political marriage is one of the methods, but there is another way~!"

Andrews said with a smile.

"What's the solution?"

"We need to fight the Gauls!"

"Huh?"

Bismarck was stunned!

What is Your Majesty's approach?

How could he not understand it at all!

Seeing Bismarck's stunned look, Andrews explained:

"Teacher, you have also analyzed before, the sun never sets, and among the three countries of Gaul and the woolly bear, only Gaul has irreconcilable contradictions with us.

We still have a way to avoid war for the sun and the woolly bear, but for Gaul, there will be a war between our two countries, and this cannot be avoided!"

Bismarck nodded at Andrews's words, something they had discussed before.

"The biggest suspicion that the sun never sets on us is that we may vigorously develop the navy and actively expand externally, which will threaten their supremacy, so they will start to suppress us!"

As long as we show that we have no intention of developing an ocean-going navy, the wariness of the sun will naturally be dispelled. "

"As for the Woolly Bears, they are just here to take advantage of the fire, and they don't really want to start a war with us, so as long as the Second Army is transferred back to East Prussia, so that the Woolly Bears realize that we have been prepared for a long time, and they can't take advantage, they will naturally not continue to go south, so that the threat from the east will naturally be lifted. "

After listening to Andrews's analysis, Bismarck couldn't help but nodded: "Yes, Your Majesty's analysis is very reasonable, but I was too anxious before and lost my calm!"

Andrews was talking about something new, and the two had already discussed it before.

The reason why Bismarck ignored these was mainly because he was frightened by the posture of the three countries acting at the same time, thinking that the three countries had communicated behind their backs, so they had such a tacit understanding.

But when I calmed down and analyzed it carefully, I immediately felt that I was thinking too seriously about the problem.

If these three countries really colluded with each other, they would have already launched an attack, and they would definitely have invested more than that.

The Second Empire was not a small country, and with more than 600,000 standing army troops, plus reserve troops and mobilized troops, once war broke out, they could arm an army of more than a million in a very short time.

In order to defeat a country of this level, the three countries must come up with at least 1.5 million troops.

Now, the number of troops from these three countries is far from meeting this requirement.

Although the sun never set a fleet, it did not send any army.

Mao Xiong only sent 100,000 men, and this little force could not even break through the eastern defense line. (If you read a violent novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

And the Gauls who sent the most troops were only 250,000 troops, which looked very scary, but in fact it was just that.

The Vosges Mountains between the Second Empire and Gaul and the Rhine River to the west were the two major barriers of the empire against the Gauls, and to overcome these two barriers, the Gauls had to mobilize at least half a million troops.

Below this number, they basically could not threaten the German defense line, and unless the French army had a combat effectiveness and the quality of individual combat far exceeded that of the German army, they would not be able to cross the mine.

Therefore, it seems that the situation is very serious, but in fact, if you analyze it carefully, it does not seem to be too serious.

Of course, things are constantly changing, and if something goes wrong, the situation is likely to deteriorate immediately.

"The real difficulty in this matter is the attitude of the Empire, which is strong and rich, and can reconcile Gaul and Hairy Bear in the middle of the way, and forge an alliance between the three kingdoms.

Therefore, if they are determined to attack us, the external security situation of the empire will probably deteriorate immediately. "

Bismarck nodded, the sun never sets is the hegemon of the world, and their strong influence in Europe cannot be underestimated.

With the financial resources of the people on whom the sun never sets, it is very simple for them to buy the woolly bears and let them be thugs.

As for Gaul, as long as the sun does not set, people express their willingness to support Gaul against the Second Empire, then Gaul will immediately let go of all his worries and provoke a war without hesitation!

All in all, the sun never sets has the power to decide the fate of the nations of Europe!

Therefore, they are the key to breaking the game.

"I see, what you mean, Your Majesty, is that as long as we go to war with Gaul and devote a lot of resources to the army and reduce the investment in the navy, the fear that the sun never sets on us will decrease.

After all, no matter how strong our army is, it will not be able to affect their supremacy at sea.

On the contrary, the more we develop our army, the more prominent the contradiction with Gaul and the woolly bear will become, and when the sun does not set, people will be able to watch the fire from the other side, control the fate of European countries at the lowest cost, and sit on the Diaoyu Tai"

Andrews nodded and added:

"In this case, the sun never sets will not overpress us, because they also need us to balance the influence of Gaul and the woolly bear!"

"And we, on the other hand, have won a precious opportunity for development, and we can secretly develop and continue to accumulate strength until we have the ability to challenge the hegemony of the sun never sets!"
