Bismarck's remarks revealed such contempt from the very bones. This was his contempt for human nature!
"Xiao Letian, do you know? The vast majority of the people have no long-term goals beyond ten years! Their vision is extremely short-sighted, and they only see a little profit in front of them!"
"And these people are more emotional than rational. Many times what they say and the decisions they make are the product of hot emotions. For example, someone called me today that Bismarck is a sinner of Germany and the initiator of the civil war. , then there will be a large group of people nodding in agreement!"
"And after the war is won, some people will preach that I, Bismarck, am the mainstay of the empire's revival, and that I am a great prime minister, and those who have scolded me will immediately turn around and praise me!"
"Have you ever studied the psychological changes here?" Bismarck asked.
Xiao Letian is also a master at playing with people's hearts. He reached out and touched the plaster statue of the Goddess of Victory and smiled lightly, "There is no need to care too much about this kind of thing. People are like this. They only care about petty gains. They use very simple pros and cons." Use the law of gains and losses to judge the many in life."
"Before the Austro-Prussian War, why did half of the Germans scold you? Because there are bound to be some people who advocate your bad deeds among the people. They think that the war you provoked is impossible to win! And in the process of preparing for the war, We need to increase taxes on the people, and the people whose interests have been harmed will definitely put the blame on you!"
"Those with ulterior motives will try their best to spread the word to the public that it is Bismarck's fanatical warlike intentions that are the source of all the unhappiness in people's lives! You can't taste the best beer sausages, you can only eat the poorest quality ones. Ale dry bread! That’s because of the existence of Bismarck, which collects too many taxes from you, and that’s why you live such a poor life!”
"People are very good at blaming themselves for their own mistakes. They will naturally push out the responsibility for their own life's problems. They will not reflect on whether they have human shortcomings such as low knowledge, laziness, short-sightedness, cowardice, etc. They are They will never consider it, they will only blame other people and the outside environment for the difficulty and hardship of life!"
"Politicians are born to take the blame. People can spit on them the unsatisfactory life and the dirty water of their lives without any scruples. This is actually understandable!"
"My life is not going well and I have grievances, and then there are people who encourage them behind the scenes and give them a direction to vent their grievances, so they don't have to distinguish right from wrong and choose to follow the words of the teaser and complain desperately. The two After a glass of beer, you will become what they call a single husband!"
"Of course, we can't blame them all. In this war, the disparity in strength is too great. Many people think that this is a war that must be lost. Prussia will definitely lose at the hands of Austria!"
"Since it is bound to fail, then the war taxes you collected before will be in vain. The people will think that their war investment is destined to fail, so they are full of complaints, so they are desperate. I’m going to scold you!” Reborn as a good daughter-in-law
"But something shocking happened. In the end, this war did not go according to their script. There was no failure, but a great victory. Prussia gained great benefits from this war!"
"Although the reparations for the war were not much, in terms of political status, Prussia did get rid of the shadow of the Austrian royal family. Prussia finally became independent under the Habsburg dynasty system. It is precisely because of this Only with this legal foundation can we have the theoretical basis to unify the northern and southern German states!"
"At this time, those short-sighted people suddenly changed their views, because they suddenly discovered that the war taxes and investments they had paid before suddenly became successful investments, which can be said to be profitable. The reality of being profitable and winning directly refutes all those accusations of failure!”
"Don't worry, Prime Minister! Those people will not admit their mistakes. They will blush and deny what they have said with the strength of two glasses of beer. They will shout to the whole world, I I never said those things!”
"This is human nature, this is the true portrayal of ordinary people, so my dear Prime Minister, there is no need to care about them, there is really no need."
With a click, Bismarck lit a cigarette and handed one to Xiao Letian. The curls of green smoke puffed in their mouths and noses.
"Oh! My dear old friend, your analysis is so subtle! The fact is that the people are so cunning and fickle. They are like small businessmen, carefully calculating every expenditure and Pay back!”
"Just like now, our southern German states, such as Bavaria, Hesse, and Darmstadt, these German states have refused to unify from the beginning to the end and resolutely opposed Prussian rule!"
"They just want to maintain their backward ancient kingdom model and live their own lives behind closed doors. Just like the Qing Empire before, they refused to change!"
"But you can't say you can't fight this kind of person, because he is a member of the German nation like me. If I go to war with them directly, the final result will only be divided like Prussia and Austria!"
"And my goal is not to split with them. Our goal is to completely integrate these territories into the territory of the German Empire!"
"So at this time we have to take advantage of human nature's weakness of being eloquent and seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages!"
"Let France be the grindstone to change their people's attitudes! Bavaria, Hesse, and Darmstadt, although these regions hate Prussian rule, they hate French rule even more!"
The journey of an intelligent mastermind into another world
"At this moment, do you know why I must fight this war? Because I have to let the people in these areas make a choice. Choose the lesser of two evils. This is what you Chinese once said!"
"Only by allowing France to provoke this war can the people in these areas be forced into a dilemma where they have to make a choice. When they discovered that France already had the ambition to annex them, in order to prevent the French from enslaving them, they We have no choice but to unite with Prussia!"
"This is called choosing the lesser of two evils. In order to prevent France from being annexed, they can only change their past remarks and choose to cooperate with us, Prussia!"
Xiao Letian sighed, shook his head and said with a smile, "Human nature! It's all human nature. The so-called ruling people's hearts is actually just crossing the river by feeling the stones of human nature!"
"Now I finally understand why you have to put on such an iron-blooded attitude, because without iron-bloodedness you can't suppress these selfish and greedy human natures, these short-sighted, eager for quick success, and wavering souls. As long as you are weak to them, then If you’re afraid, they’ll try harder to bargain!”
"For example, for the southern federations such as Bavaria, Hesse, and Darmstadt, it is better to say good things to them than to cause trouble to the east!"
"No matter how good you give them preferential policies, good conditions, and lift them to the sky, those people will not unite with you!"
"On the contrary, you encouraged the French Emperor Napoleon III to use the sword to attack these areas. Under the fear of war, the untouchables in these places only toasted wine instead of fined wine. Instead, they would actively integrate into the German Empire. Go inside!”
"Haha! One way is for Prussia to hurry up and give them the benefits, but no one is paying attention!"
"Another way is for these southern federal countries to rush to get the benefits to unite with Prussia!"
"Brilliant! So brilliant! Dear Prime Minister, I learned another trick from you."
