Chapter 256 Iron-Blooded Prime Minister (Please Subscribe!!!)
January 1, Frederick Kingdom, Berlin suburbs, Potsdam, Königsön Palace.

This is an extremely luxurious palace, and it is also the royal palace where King William V of the Kingdom of Frederick lived for a long time. The mixed Baroque and Rococo styles gave the building a very artistic decorative veil. The new palace inside the garden is a masterpiece of Rococo style, beautiful, elegant and majestic.

A roar broke the calm here.

"His Majesty!"

A middle-aged man in a blue military uniform with a raised collar and a clover coat of arms on his chest slapped the table heavily, spitting wildly at the king sitting at the head of the long table, his well-trimmed beard accompanied by The fat on his face kept trembling: "We must never launch a war against the Romanov Kingdom! The current Frederick Kingdom cannot support two-front warfare! Our top priority is to complete the unification of the empire rather than constantly provoking other countries!"

There are many people sitting in the conference hall. It is not difficult to see from the badges and military ranks on their chests that they are all the highest-ranking military generals in the Kingdom of Frederick. , Archbishop and even the Pope and other core members.

The two factions are separated by the long table.

Facing the middle-aged man's refutation, William V didn't have much expression. He was used to it. Otto von Bismarck had such a fiery personality. It must have been smashed to pieces.

"Calm down, Otto." William V said lightly: "Control your emotions, we are not discussing whether to launch a war against the Romanov Kingdom, this matter has been decided and cannot be refuted."

Otto von Bismarck yelled: "Warning against the Romanov Kingdom now will not do us any good! If the Judgment God wants to eat the cake of the Romanov Kingdom, it should never use war!"

"I don't understand what you are worried about." The senior general David said: "We have formed an alliance with the Kingdom of Sardinia in the south. The Kingdom of Carlos and the Kingdom of Otto will block the reinforcements of the Popang Kingdom and the Barbarossa Empire. , we can definitely draw enough troops to attack the Kingdom of Romanov!"

"The Kingdom of Sardinia is a bunch of trash! Pinning your hopes on them is no different from looking for death! They are a bunch of idiots who eat noodles all day long!"

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and did not refute Bismarck's views on the Kingdom of Sardinia, because what he said was too correct.

"But the Kingdom of Sardinia has enough war supplies, which can just make up for our shortcomings." David disagrees: "We don't pin our hopes on the Kingdom of Sardinia. What is really worth relying on is the magic of the Church, which can help We are invincible and invincible.”

Bismarck looked at David coldly. He was disappointed with the strategic vision of this noble boy. Not only David, but also many people in the conference hall, he spurned and despised.

"You will ruin the hope of the rise of Frederick's Kingdom."

Bismarck got up, left the table first, and left the conference hall without looking back.

"Okay, let's continue to discuss the issue of marching." William V pressed his hand to silence the noisy crowd, "Which route should we attack from?"

Staff Officer Anderson stood up, walked to the map, pointed to the Ural Mountains and said: "At present, the armies of the Kingdom of Windsor and the Romanov Kingdom are confronting each other near the Ural Mountains. This war will determine the future direction of the international situation. We can start from here Let's start, send troops to launch a sneak attack at the moment when they are fighting the most intense!"

"No, we shouldn't launch an attack at the most intense moment of the battle." Field Marshal Lunstead said suddenly: "We have to wait until the war is about to be won and then reappear, defeat the victor, and launch a pursuit of the loser at the same time. I have a second plan to collect all the fruits of victory."

After a pause, Lunstadt added: "We can divide our troops into two groups. One group will stare at the area near the Ural Mountains, waiting for an opportunity. The other group of cavalry will march towards Tyumen City in the starry night. If the Romanov Kingdom wins, we will surprise Tyumen City." , capture King Paul I, and if the Romanov Kingdom is defeated, we will sneak attack the defeated army’s rear, outflank them from the rear, and annihilate their remaining forces in one fell swoop, so that the Frederick Kingdom will remain invincible!”

William V nodded his head and was very satisfied with Runstead's plan. He didn't want to cause too many casualties, and it would be best if he could take down the Romanov Kingdom without any effort. Of course, this is a bit of a fantasy, but people always To have a dream.
In the end, under the decision of William V, the Kingdom of Frederick adopted Lunstedt's marching plan, and Lunstedt, as the field marshal, was also ordered to quickly gather troops and march towards the Kingdom of Romanov at another day.

after the meeting
William V personally found Prime Minister Bismarck and asked the doubts in his heart: "I thought you would agree to attack the Romanov Kingdom."

"Your Majesty, the Kingdom of Romanov is indeed at its most critical moment, but they are not powerless to resist." Bismarck smoked a cigar and said expressionlessly: "Have you ever thought that once our attack plan fails, what will happen to us?" How will it affect the Kingdom of Frederick?"

"It was not my idea to start this war," said William V, "it was the pope's idea."

"You shouldn't listen to him! He doesn't understand politics or military affairs at all! We can harvest some fruits, but we can only look at some fat!" Bismarck was indignant, breathing heavily: "The Kingdom of Frederick is located in the In the center of the continent, there are enemies on all sides. If we want to develop, we must have a strong ally, and this ally can only be the Kingdom of Romanov! If even they are hostile to us, the Kingdom of Frederick will be constrained everywhere! Their resources are needed! We cannot afford to lose this war!"

"We will not fail, Otto."

William V directly called Bismarck by his name, and his attitude was very gentle and firm: "This is our first step on the world stage. As long as we can incorporate the Romanov Kingdom into our territory, we will have nothing to fear. You are right. , The Kingdom of Romanov is indeed the ally we should win over the most, but at the same time, he is also the enemy we fear the most!"

"But the Kingdom of Frederick doesn't have enough strength to fight against them now! We also have the Kingdom of Popang and the Kingdom of Windsor to the west! The Barbarossa Empire in the southeast has also coveted us for a long time!"

"You have changed, Otto." William V said softly: "I remember you once said that the major problems of this era cannot be solved by speeches and resolutions, only iron and blood can conquer them. You also said, Our great German nation fears no one but God."

"That's right, I said that, but I also said that there is a secret recipe for handling politics well, and that is to sign a treaty of friendship with the Romanov Kingdom!"

Bismarck's beard was trembling with excitement: "Have you forgotten, Your Majesty, the Emperor Bonaparte who swept across the country decades ago? He also lost to the Romanov Kingdom! This is a real history that cannot be ignored, and we must learn from it !"

"Bonaparte lost to the weather, not the Romanov kingdom."

"His Majesty!!!"

Bismarck said with trembling lips: "You can't think like this. Geographical factors are the weapons in the hands of the Romanov Kingdom. Their strategic depth is definitely not something that one or two kingdoms can swallow!"

"Let's talk about this today."

Shaking his head, William V had no idea of ​​continuing the conversation. He and Bismarck had already had very serious differences on the Romanov Kingdom incident, and it was useless to continue the conversation.

After the king left, Bismarck sighed a long time, walked to the window, stared at the garden below, and said quietly: "Your Majesty, I also hope that you can win, but you underestimate your opponent too much."

At the moment when Bismarck was quarreling with the king, in far away Vienna, a young man full of expectations received a notice of failure from the Academy of Fine Arts
His name is Adolf.
