"Report to the head of state! The latest information came from Paris. At 4:30 in the afternoon, the riots in the city have subsided! They have actually subsided!"
There was an uproar in the secret headquarters in the Berlin Prime Minister's official residence! The high-ranking generals and intelligence officers surrounding Xiao Letian looked at each other, each of them unable to believe their ears.
"Are you kidding me? This has only lasted a few hours, and the riot of 250,000 people has just subsided?"
"Does it take longer to fart? This is completely different from our previous inference! We have conducted war games before. Even if Napoleon III sends troops to the streets to suppress it, this turmoil will last at least 12 hours. above!"
"It's only been five or six hours, is the riot over? When did those thugs become rational? Both sides have seen blood, how can they abandon hatred so quickly and settle the feud?"
"It can't be wrong, it can't be wrong! This is what the telegram shows. At the most critical moment, Napoleon III sent his son, Prince Eugène Bonaparte, to go to the Champs Elysées in person to negotiate with the workers' leaders!"
"I don't know what this young crown prince said. He actually persuaded a group of worker leaders such as Varland and Duval. He actually calmed down the anger of workers in the city! The two sides actually reached a ceasefire agreement!"
Sima Yun couldn't sit still anymore after hearing this. He rushed over and grabbed the telegraph newspaper, turned to Wang Huaiyuan and said, "Let's go! Let's go see the head of state!"
Wang Huaiyuan and Sima Yun strode down the corridor of the Prime Minister's residence. All the German officials they met along the way gave way and saluted. Many German officers even stood at attention and saluted because they saw the golden general stars on their shoulders.
"Why do I see a trace of uneasiness on the faces of these two Chinese generals? What happened?" Many people secretly guessed.
At this moment, Xiao Letian and Bismarck were having a secret conversation in the study. When the two generals knocked on the study door, Xiao Letian had no idea what had happened.
"What? Is the riot over now? How is it possible that it ended in just over five hours?" Xiao Letian felt as unbelievable as Bismarck.
Wang Huaiyuan stuffed the telegram in his hand, "See for yourself! This is indeed the case. Four observation points in Paris have already sent telegrams with the same content. This means that the riots on the streets of Paris have really subsided at this moment. !”
Bismarck frowned after receiving the telegram and read it ten lines at a time!
"Eugène Bonaparte? The son of Napoleon III, the Crown Prince of France, he actually took to the streets to negotiate in person? How old is he? Is he 17 or 18 years old this year?"
"God, Napoleon III is really willing? No, no, no... I should ask Queen Eugenie, as a mother, how willing is she to let his precious son complete such a dangerous mission?"
In the previous strategic deductions of Xiao Letian and Bismarck, all senior French officials had been considered, but only the young crown prince was left out. In their eyes, a teenage boy is nothing. threatening.
I never expected that the current situation would change so quickly! Queen Eugenie actually thought of launching her own son to appease the people's anger!
Bismarck sneered, lit his pipe, and puffed out "Dear Xiao! Our plan ended so quickly, which shows that the enemy's defense is still very strong. They must have doubts about our actions."
"What will follow will definitely be a large-scale manhunt in Paris. Our intelligence personnel may be in danger. Once Napoleon III finds the evidence, it is likely to cause the same enemy in France. By then, it will be very difficult for us. Adverse!"
Xiao Letian tapped his fingers gently on the desk and said calmly, "Are the people in France sharing the same hatred? Maybe it is possible, but I don't think this possibility is high."
"Dear Prime Minister, first of all, you must know that espionage itself is a secret war, especially when more than 200,000 people are demonstrating in Paris at the moment. The chaotic scene is conceivable!"
"A secret war is one in which the enemy and the enemy are unknown. In the end, it is nothing more than public speaking, public speaking, mother-in-law saying mother-in-law is right. The French will accuse us, Prussia, of causing this tragedy! But we can also deny it, even if they come up with it Evidence, we can also think that it is all fabricated!"
"What we need is not the truth, and what we need is not to completely overwhelm France morally. What we need is just the enemy's confusion. From this point of view, we have succeeded!"
"In addition, I believe that class hatred will not be overcome so easily. Even if they raise the banner of nationalism, it may not be as practical as bread and milk! The huge gap between rich and poor has created a huge generation gap in society. !”
"I admit that the young crown prince did a great job today, but it was just a little painkiller for the patient France! To put it bluntly, all his efforts were just a shot of morphine, which did not cure the disease at all. I can’t get to my roots!”
Having said this, Xiao Letian suddenly smiled, "Prime Minister, haven't you always wanted to anger Napoleon III? Haven't you always wanted Napoleon III to take the initiative to declare war? Then I think now is a good opportunity to let Napoleon know this on purpose. The riots in Paris were started by us, and we will refuse to admit it later and start a lawsuit with them in front of the whole of Europe and the whole world!"
"With Napoleon III's fiery temper, it doesn't take much of this kind of thing. Just one or two rogue actions can completely anger him. As long as he dares to declare war on his own initiative, then the people of Bavaria, Hesse and other places will lose all their support. Here we come.”
"Isn't this the biggest opportunity for the German nation to unify? You should seize such a good opportunity."
Bismarck nodded, "You and I thought of going together, dear Xiao, but you also know that some places in the south, especially the Kingdom of Bavaria, have not had a very good relationship with Prussia since ancient times."
I can easily stir up people's emotions, but the King of Bavaria...that young lunatic is really difficult to manipulate.
"Are you talking about Ludwig II? Haha, I think you are worrying too much. If you are worried, I can go and see him."
"Ask the Ministry of War to prepare a special train for me! I plan to go to Munich tonight. I think Ludwig II should meet with me, a distant guest. There is no conflict between me and him..."
When Bismarck heard this, a smile appeared on his face, "That's not bad. There is no conflict between you and Ludwig II, and as you are the head of the East, he can't help but see you!"
"You are a distinguished guest from China. He must give you face and at least maintain his reputation for hospitality! If you go to see her, it may be a good opportunity for us!"
"But... there is one thing I must remind you!" Bismarck said with an embarrassed look on his face.
"What's going on?"
Bismarck said a little embarrassed, "I won't hide it from you! According to legend, Ludwig II had some mental illness. He didn't like women. The only woman in the world who had a better relationship with him was Princess Sissi is alone..."
My gosh! Xiao Letian sighed inwardly, "Am I going to see a big piece of glass?"
