"Haha, no one in the world understands Bismarck, but I, Xiao Letian, understand him!"
"Bismarck is an old fox who knows how to be patient. During the Franco-Prussian War, he pushed us to fight France, and at the same time he had to appease the British. Originally, the German royal family and the British royal family are cousins, so there is no problem with high-level relations."
"As long as you reassure Britain that Germany will not challenge Britain's maritime hegemony, then Britain will allow Germany to dominate Europe!"
"Do you think Bismarck doesn't want colonies? Do you think he doesn't want control of international trade? Of course he does. Bismarck knows very well that Germany's future industrial development needs the market!"
"In just the steel industry, Germany is already leading the world. There is no war to help consumption. How about relying solely on the European market during peacetime? No, the European market is not big enough to fill the gap between teeth!"
"So Bismarck knows very well that Germany will have to challenge Britain sooner or later, because this is the inevitable outcome driven by industrial development!"
"When Germany has excess productivity and overcapacity, how can it sell it? How can it still expect to pretend to be transparent under the nose of the British Navy?"
"The United Kingdom can allow Germany's current production scale, but it will never allow ten or a hundred times the future production scale to impact the international market, so sooner or later Britain and Germany will have a war!"
"At that time, it will truly be a world-level war, and it will be unimaginable and tragic!"
"Right now, Bismarck is just observing, observing every move of me, Xiao Letian. He is actually ready to place bets on both sides!"
"This war between the Chinese and the British will also determine Germany's diplomatic strategy towards the Chinese in the next hundred years!"
"As long as we draw with Britain, it doesn't matter if we win, as long as we can draw and injure Britain... You can rest assured that Germany will immediately promote its big naval strategy!"
"Good boy! Do you know how good the Germans are at playing with steel? If Germany really tried its best to build steel warships, with that tonnage, that firepower, that scale, that technology... it seems that it would really be number one in the world for the time being. No one can surpass it!”
"At that time, Germany will be in the Atlantic Ocean and we will be in East Asia to contain Britain! Haha, the Empire on which the Sun Never Sets will probably be renamed the Empire on which the Sun Never Sets!"
"This is the best situation. In the future, we can even carve up India, Africa, Australia and other colonies with Germany!"
"But all this requires us to win or draw this time, if we Chinese fail!"
"Haha...Germany will continue to carry out strategic dormancy and surrender to Britain honestly. Moreover, it will pull out all our forces in Europe and give them to Britain as a token of honor!"
"At that time, we have established overt and covert lines in Europe for many years, all intelligence networks and pro-Chinese capitalist groups, young scientist groups, scholar groups..."
"It's all finished, all gone... not a single scum left!"
"Child, don't believe in the friendship of politicians. They only care about interests... If you win, Germany will be your forever friend. If you lose, you will be doomed!"
"So, Germany led by Bismarck...our secret ally is actually a poisonous snake!"
"There are no good people in Hongtong County!" The fat man said with a sigh. "For so many years, I have always thought that master's governance is easy, but in fact he has to bear such a lot of pressure?"
"Hey...where is the United States? What does master think of the United States?"
Xiao Letian pointed his hand in the direction of the United States on the map. "We and the United States are like a marathon competing for speed! This country will be our biggest strategic opponent in the future, even more than the United Kingdom!"
"Fortunately, our Chinese race has risen a little early. If it had been a few years later, the United States would have attacked Spanish colonies, such as its neighboring Cuba and Luzon, which we just acquired!"
"After the United States stabilizes the situation in Central and South America, it will definitely expand its power globally... This country is too big, and its resource reserves are world-class in terms of land area and population!"
"It's hard to deal with! I can only say that it was a fluke. Lucky rose just a dozen years earlier... We must remember in the future that the competition with the United States will be eternal and never-ending!"
"Don't think that the outcome can be decided in just a few decades...you have to be mentally prepared for hundreds of years of struggle!"
"Don't think about it for so long. The United States is not as good as Germany at the moment. It can't make trouble for the time being... The only thing I'm afraid of is actually the other established powers!"
"You said... France and Tsarist Russia were defeated by us. Can they swallow this breath?"
The fat man was stunned. "You mean... Britain will join forces with France and Tsarist Russia to deal with us?"
"Our intelligence network is not omnipotent! It really is not omnipotent... This battle cannot be fought solely on the military side. It must be fought both military and political. This is a clash of civilizations!"
"Let the King of the Far East pay close attention to intelligence work. Last year's survey showed that there were 80,000 Russian troops stationed in the outer Xing'an Mountains for the winter. It is summer now. Will they mobilize troops from Central Asia?" Fatty Jin said worriedly.
"Did the Tsarist Russian troops that retreated from the Ili Valley return to Europe, continue to be entrenched in Central Asia, or have begun to move closer to the Far East? We need to figure this out!"
Xiao Letian waved his hand, "Our intelligence network is still not established enough! In the edge areas of Outer Mongolia and Siberia, our intelligence network is almost blank!"
"So Mr. Long has always been stationed in the Far East. I have calculated that if Tsarist Russia really joins forces with the United Kingdom, Tsarist Russia with its navy will not be able to do it!"
"But the army will definitely take revenge! Be prepared to deal with 200,000 Russian troops! This is basically the limit of Tsarist Russia's material supplies!"
"Store supplies in the summer. The British fleet will arrive in East Asia in October. By then, the first snow has fallen on the White Mountains and Black Waters, but it is not too cold yet, and the heavy snow has not closed the mountains!"
"With the supplies and troops mobilized this summer, there will be at least 150,000 Russian troops to invade the Far East, and the British fleet on the sea is still twice the tonnage of ours!"
"Master Long is in a difficult situation! Master Long now only has 80,000 regular troops, which is not enough! He can only choose to stick to it! Instead of dividing his troops to rescue us, it will be difficult for us to provide reinforcements to Master Long because we are restrained by the British!"
"And what I'm most afraid of is the Japanese traitor Liu! Hunchun is seriously injured now, and the main force of the army outside the pass has been transferred back to the pass. At this moment, the place outside the pass is empty!"
"If Guizi Liu signs a treasonous treaty, lets the Rakshasa ghosts enter the three eastern provinces, and attacks Master Long on two fronts... Master Long will be in real danger!"
"Now you know how important the legal system is! These Tartars can sell their ancestral land! Without Zaichun's legitimacy to withstand it, Guiziliu will really do whatever he wants!"
"It's not just Tsarist Russia! Do you think France will stand aside and watch? Absolutely not..."
