Chapter 202： Foresight (1/2)
”Unexpectedly, you came to Berlin just after Christmas.” Looking at Prince Ruprecht in front of him, Bismarck's face showed a hint of curiosity. He wanted to know very much now, what would make the Bavarian prince give up the business of Rijindoujin and come to Berlin to visit him, an old man who is already dying. I haven't done anything that affects Bavaria's interests recently. General matters can be handled by the representative of Bavaria in Berlin. Prince Ruprecht does not need to come in person?
”I heard that your health is not good. I have come to see you. Some gifts are not respectful. I hope you can laugh at it.” Not to mention the prince who came up to give gifts. Of course, there is not much utilitarianism in this, because it will not take long for Bismarck to help the prince. Although the current Bismarck does not seem to die in 1898 like in history, he will soon be in the dying year. Will bid farewell to the rights center and become an old nobleman who is at home.
”Hehe, welcome. Before leaving office, it is very gratifying that important members of the second family of the empire can still think of me as an old man. I have been fighting for the unity of Prussia all my life, but this time is still a prince from the southern kingdom. Here, it's really good fortune to trick people. Tell me, if you can help me, I will try my best to help.” Bismarck said with a smile. Then he let the prince into his study.
”The sky is going to change.” The prince said after taking a sip of the black tea from the attendant.
”You mean the Far East? That's it. The Spanish Empire is about to lose its last afterglow. From then on, Spain will become a fourth-rate country, and even worse than Belgium to some extent.” Bismarck was taken aback for a moment, and then said calmly: ”Say Get up, this time the sky has changed and you are pushing your hands behind. The sudden emergence of the Japanese Navy has faintly formed an advantage against the Russians. Is this a revenge against the Russians?”
”Are you really incomprehensible or fake?” The prince asked rhetorically instead of answering.
”I really don't understand, so I don't want to intervene in the Far East, but it looks like you really want to make some achievements in the Far East.” Bismarck said.
”This is an opportunity! An opportunity to make the empire change the current passive situation. We naturally can't give up.” The prince said with a smile.
”Really? Why do I see the danger, a danger that makes the empire and the most powerful country in the world evil? The British have decided to support Japan. We have no territorial demands in the Far East, so we should be neutral. Why should we fall into it? In this quagmire? Britain and Japan on one side, and the United States on the other. We can't afford to offend, and from the current situation, the Americans can't compete with Britain and Japan in the Far East. Why should we stand on the side of the losers?” Bismarck Some puzzled said.
”The reason is very simple. I want Americans to hate Japanese for a lifetime! Hate the British for 20 years! Only an unforgettable failure can make it impossible for Americans to sit on the same table with Britain and Japan! And we want to give Americans Create conditions for failure!” The prince’s calm words made Bismarck's back chill. He suddenly realized that he didn’t know the prince. A shrewd businessman and nobleman couldn’t describe the prince in front of him. He could even be called a superb. Conspiracy!
”Did you start preparing a long time ago? How long did you prepare? One year or two years? How can you determine that the British will definitely help Japan? How can you determine that the United States will definitely lose?” Bismarck asked.
