You can't get along with other people if you don't believe in things like aura. Three hundred warriors from the East were surrounded by thousands of imperial guards and looked at the black muzzles of the guns with a cold smile. Not one of them was timid. Even the momentum is not weak at all.
But strangely enough, when they faced Bismarck, everyone felt a bit like when they faced Xiao Letian. It couldn't be said to be fear, but it was definitely awe.
Applying Zeng Guofan's analysis, this iron-blooded prime minister should be regarded as the hidden dragon of the German nation. This kind of person is not angry but self-confident, and naturally has a breathtaking aura. He is essentially the same type of character as Xiao Letian, even Worse than that.
After all, Bismarck has started the German tanks and is charging at high speed. Xiao Letian is now shaking the handle desperately. It seems that this broken tractor of the Manchu Qing Dynasty is difficult to start.
The Iron Prime Minister reasoned with these young men in a calm tone without emotion.
"What are you afraid of? Are you afraid that the German nation will hack your money? Or do you not believe in my Bismarck character? But if you don't believe me, who can you believe?"
"To tell you very frankly, your attempt to kidnap the prince and leave Europe is simply impossible. The Atlantic Ocean is now completely dominated by the British and French navies. As soon as the merchant ships leave the North Sea, you will immediately be targeted by the British or the French. of……"
"Don't think there are no spies here in Hamburg. Such big breaking news will spread throughout Europe in less than a week. By then, the Atlantic Ocean will be full of warships, and all lookouts will be looking for you with wide eyes. One million taels of silver coins There’s no country that doesn’t like huge sums of money. Only then will you know what it means to eat black people while they are black…”
"What will be the consequences of insisting on your own way? You will lose your wealth, your life, and in the end you will end up with such a terrible enemy of the Prussian nation. All the expectations of your prime minister will be in vain. Not only that, you will also get crazy revenge from the entire Prussian nation..."
"Tell me, is this what you want? If so, then take His Highness away and let him die on the ocean with you!"
Bismarck is really an excellent politician with insight into people's hearts. From the moment he entered the room, he could already feel the aura of these Eastern warriors who regarded death as home. He knew that using intimidation methods would be absolutely ineffective.
Where is the weakness of these middlemen? Others may not be able to guess it, but Bismarck can guess it with a blink of an eye. They are not afraid of fighting or sacrifice. They laugh at life and death, and even dare to kidnap the prince.
To put it a bit exaggeratedly, such soldiers can already be called a heroic company. Do they have any weaknesses? Of course there will be, the founder who personally molded them into a strong and strong character is their weakness.
The Iron Army did not fall out of thin air. It needed heroes to bring it out step by step. It needed the personal guidance of the trendsetters of the times. The core figure who unites people's hearts is the weakness in the hearts of these young men.
They may not be afraid of life and death, but they are afraid of not being able to complete their mission even if they die. They are even more afraid that their wrong judgment will bring unnecessary danger to their leaders. This kind of mentality is their weakness. As long as they seize this breakthrough, they will not achieve the goal. Negotiations failed.
Sure enough, Bismarck's analysis hit the hearts of all the new troops like a heavy hammer, and these young men suddenly became confused. Xiao Hexin and the others gathered together and whispered nervously, and it took a long time before they spoke.
"What you said may make sense, but how can you guarantee your trustworthiness? Who can guarantee you..."
Jonas had just finished translating when he heard Bismarck yell angrily, "Guarantee! You actually asked me for a guarantee? Okay, I'll tell you what my guarantee is..."
"The title of Iron-Blooded Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Prussia is my guarantee! The title of Chief Architect of the German National Rejuvenation Plan is my guarantee! The love of 10 million Germans for me is my guarantee! What more guarantee do you want?"
"The fact that your Prime Minister Xiao Letian gave me a secret message instead of the king is the biggest guarantee! Xiao Letian believes in me, but you are questioning me!" Bismarck's anger made Prussia present. The soldiers shuddered, the iron-blooded prime minister was indeed worthy of his name.
Bismarck took three deep breaths and suddenly ordered, "Three hundred Eastern New Army soldiers, all listen to my order... stand at attention!"
Almost subconsciously, the three hundred soldiers pressed their heels together, and the sound of their boots clashing was loud and uniform.
"Release the prince. From today on, you will be directly under the command of the General Staff Headquarters. I and the Chief of General Staff Mao Qi will be responsible... As the Prime Minister of the Kingdom, I forgive you for today's crime of disrespecting the prince!"
Having said this, Bismarck whispered to Xiao Hexin, "Up to now, you have no other choice but to believe in me..."
For this reason, the stalemate could no longer continue. Under Bismarck's order, the rifles of the Guards were put down, and Prince Karl finally regained his freedom.
When the prince walked behind the prime minister, before Bismarck could say a few words of comfort to him, the furious crown prince shouted, "Fire, everyone, fire, kill these oriental barbarians..." The shout also included There are some soldiers who subconsciously raise their guns.
At this time, Bismarck was completely furious. "Shut up! If you interfere in the empire's diplomatic affairs again, I will personally write to His Majesty to confine you, and I will deprive you of your right to command the army. Don't challenge my patience!"
Under Bismarck's strict order, the raised rifles were put down again. Karl's face turned pale with anger, but he was powerless in the face of the powerful Prime Minister.
The feudal kingdoms in Europe are different from those in China. There is no saying that the imperial power is the most powerful here. The king is sometimes just a symbol, and powerful ministers can completely override the royal power.
In real history, when the Austro-Prussian War ended, Bismarck prepared to conclude a treaty with Austria, but the king and the crown prince wanted to expand the results and attack Vienna. As a result, Bismarck threatened to resign, and the king had no choice but to agree to the Prime Minister's strategic plan.
The power of the Iron-Blooded Prime Minister has been clearly demonstrated from this incident.
Prince Karl gritted his teeth and shook his head at these Chinese people, "You will not get what you want. I will do everything possible to destroy your agreement. I will always adhere to my previous point of view. The German nation can never form an alliance with sheep, never... "After that, he turned around and left.
As His Royal Highness the Prince left, the Prussian troops surrounding the barracks dispersed in circles like peeling an onion. In the end, even the three thousand guardsmen who were watching were withdrawn.
After the crisis was over, Bismarck began to arrange for his own direct guards to take over the silver coins. However, the new army did not persist. They knew that the money would definitely not be brought back to China. Instead of letting dangerous elements worry about it, it was better to hand it over quickly. In the hands of the Prime Minister.
"I will hire the most astute Jewish businessmen to manage this money, and I will set up a foundation. This is also the suggestion in your prime minister's secret letter. With such a huge wealth, the interest alone will be enough for your life in Europe. , including a steady stream of Chinese students in the future, can also use the interest from this huge sum of money..."
"Okay, boys, you can put on your casual clothes and rest in the rear area. I wish you a happy life in Germany!" After saying this, the Prime Minister turned around and wanted to leave.
Now the three hundred new troops were shocked. "What do you mean? Let us stay in the rear? We came to Germany to participate in the war. We want to establish prestige for the Chinese. What's the point of hiding in the rear?"
The brothers immediately gathered around and surrounded the Prime Minister. Seeing that it was okay, the Prime Minister's Guard quickly rushed in to rescue Bismarck. Although the two groups of people did not use their fists, they pushed the cow away.
"We want to join the war, we want to learn on the front line, what we need is actual combat..."
"Back off, all of you, back off, don't attack the Prime Minister..."
"Stop pushing, everyone calm down, everything is decided by the Prime Minister. Don't there be an old Chinese saying that guests do as they please..."
"Bullshit, Jonas, what you say is better than what you sing. We sent you one million taels of silver coins, but you are not allowed to go to the battlefield. Do you think we are easy to bully?"
Chinese and German were mixed together, creating chaos in the military camp. The Prussian soldiers who had not gone far in the distance subconsciously wanted to run over, but were stopped by the direct guard.
Bismarck was not angry at all. Instead, he became excited. These Chinese young men actually participated in the war so strongly. This shows that the bloody spirit of the ancient empire has not been wiped out. If such a brave man Xiao Letian had one hundred thousand in hand, maybe He could really change the fate of that ancient empire.
"Children, guests from afar, please listen to me..." Bismarck raised his hand to suppress the noise present. "War is not a child's play. Modern warfare is a science. A little bravery is not enough. You must learn There are still a lot of things. If nothing else, you are struggling to communicate in normal language now, do you want to go to the battlefield with a translator? "
"What you have to do now is to study patiently. I will let Jonas be the general coordinator around you, and he will select the best instructors to train you. Whether you can go to the battlefield depends on your results... "
"But one thing I can guarantee is that when the war really starts, even if you can't directly participate in the battle, I will allow you to go to the front line to observe, I guarantee it!"
The day's conflict has completely dissipated by now. Although the New Army is reluctant, they can't refute the Prime Minister's reasoning. Fortunately, Bismarck did not close the door tightly, leaving them with a glimmer of hope. Just for this glimmer of hope. Hopefully, they will fight too.
After Bismarck left, Jonas and the guard adjutants began to coordinate the life and study of these new troops. Dozens of tailors began to tailor their civilian clothes. These Chinese could not be allowed to move around in beautiful clothes all the time, especially the civilian clothes of several officers, which had to be very elegant.
The logistics quartermaster sent tens of thousands of thalers of silver coins, which were pocket money for the new army in Germany. Moreover, the Prime Minister had ordered that these Chinese people could withdraw silver coins of less than 10,000 thalers at any time, and no one could stop them.
Next is the brand new Prussian individual equipment. Starting tomorrow, the Hamburg recruit training camp will close a hundred acres of forest to the north as a special training ground for the Chinese.
Everything is starting to go in a good direction, and the atmosphere of preparation for war is getting stronger and stronger.
"Xiao, I will pick you up tomorrow. I have already figured out what you asked me to do. I will take you to interview that person in person!" Jonas and Xiao Hexin made an appointment when they parted in the evening.
