The Earl of Brandenburg was immediately tempted, and even he had begun to imagine the scenery and scenes of his time when he became the Prime Minister of the German Empire, so he immediately persuaded Frederick William IV’s worries:

“Your Majesty, I think this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Austria is in turmoil. We are taking this opportunity to unify the central and western regions of Germany and establish a new German empire. Once the empire is established, you will open a new page in history. I believe Prussia will From then on to glory!”

Compared with the excitement of the Earl of Brandenburg, Frederick William IV was relatively calm. It was not that he was more calm, but that he was not interested in any great empire. Now the Prussian stall made him feel sick. He really didn’t know if he could handle the German Empire.

Of course, if this is indeed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, he will not let it go. The question is whether it is an opportunity or not, he is really uncertain, so he hesitates.

On the other hand, the Earl of Burbourg did not notice Frederick William IV’s expression at all. The two-pole prime minister was completely intoxicated by the beautiful scene he had imagined. You can’t extricate yourself from being completely immersed in it, and talk endlessly about how beautiful the future is and how worth looking forward to.

But he didn’t say how to realize these beautiful futures, but it was normal, because he had never thought about this problem at all. In a sense, he was like a dreamer who only proposed ideas, but lacked the ability to realize the ideas. Means and strategy.

Naturally, these blueprints made Frederick William IV frowned, because he didn’t just want blueprints, he had to see how to realize them. After all, he was a king who was only good at proposing ideas. How to realize it depends on the prime minister. of.

The problem now is that the King Frederick William IV and the Prime Minister of Brandenburg are highly consistent in a sense, that is, they are only good at proposing ideas and not realizing them. If it’s not sound, let’s call the masters of the eyes and the low-handed ones.

However, Frederick William IV’s problem is worthy of forgiveness, because he has always been in poor health. The government has always put forward ideas, mainly entrusted to William I to implement it. The two brothers cooperated well.

But now William I, who was good at implementation, has stepped down, but Brandenburg is not good at handling these details, which is terrible! After all, the prime minister is a minister of the prime minister, and he needs to command the overall situation and coordinate various relations to deal with all kinds of troubles and keep everything in order.

This means that the Earl of Brandenburg can’t handle these things at all, or that they have not handled them ideally. But now Prussia really needs meticulous operation the most, and the bold tactics like the Earl of Brandenburg will really not produce good results.

So the monarch and his subjects couldn’t talk about anything in this conversation. It could be said that it was air-to-air, but the more funny thing was that the two people still enjoyed it, even if they couldn’t talk about anything, they still had a serious discussion there.

“Your Majesty, you don’t have to worry about it. According to my estimation, Austria will not be able to quell domestic riots at least in the first half of this year. We have plenty of time to contact the states, on the one hand, we can do persuasive work, on the other hand, Be able to prepare for armed response!”

The first half of the words of the Earl of Brandenburg made Frederick William IV nod his head repeatedly. Although he also knew that digging the corner of Austria was risky, it was not a big problem to secretly win over and contact some small German states, because several hundred Everyone has done this for years. It is a recognized unspoken rule, and Austrians often do it, so it doesn’t matter if they are discovered.

But letting him prepare for armed response later made him frown. He didn’t like fighting, especially against Austria. Not only was the odds of winning not high, but the main problem was that once armed with Austria was declared sacred. The alliance was completely broken.

At that time, Russia’s reaction is hard to say, and without the endorsement of the Holy League, Prussia’s international backing will be gone. In the future, it must face international threats alone. This is for Frederick William IV, who has become accustomed to the Holy League. Said to require great determination.

And now he obviously has no such determination. He hopes that the Holy Alliance will continue to exist, even if the deterrence of this alliance is not as good as before, but it is better to have a pair of underwear than nothing.

Frederick Wilhelm IV hoped to solve the problem within the alliance, that is, to achieve the goal of Little Germany without completely turning over with Austria. Everyone fights and does not break, and continues to be so stubborn.

I have to say that Frederick William IV is politically immature, or naive. For Austria, the Little German plan is totally unacceptable, because it shows that it is digging his corner and weakening his control over the German states. This is simply subversion!

As long as Austria is not kicked in the head by a donkey, it is impossible to agree to this plan. In other words, it is impossible for Frederick William IV to fight without breaking. Either he has to turn his face with Austria, or he can honestly maintain the status quo and pretend to be a grandson, he can only choose one of the two and not have both.

Now Frederick William IV is a fish and a bear paw, and he has no determination to go all out. What do you think he can do with such hesitation?

“A solution by force is absolutely undesirable!” Frederick William IV replied with a heavy face, “The war with Austria will cause unpredictable consequences and may completely destroy our relations with Austria and Russia. This is unacceptable!”

The Earl of Brandenburg was thrown cold water on his head. It was false to say he was not disappointed, but he did not expect Frederick William IV to immediately agree to his plan to turn his face with Austria~www.wuxiax. com~ His goal is to sit and watch, and first strive for the most basic goal: to get Frederick William IV to agree to secretly win over the states and secretly the Austrians.

As long as this is achieved, there is still the possibility of realizing the Little Germany program in the future. Maybe Austria will continue to decline in the future, maybe the Hungarians will be able to toss it? Once Austria continued to decline, he had the opportunity to not believe that Frederick William IV would be unmoved.

So he immediately nodded and said: “Your Majesty, I will thoroughly implement your will, but the necessary military mobilization and preparations are also necessary. We can make secret preparations under the pretext of quelling the riots.”

Although Frederick William IV was still frowning, he still accepted the suggestion after thinking about it. After all, quelling the riots is a sufficient reason, and there is no harm in preparing early.

Of course he did not forget to tell the Count of Brandenburg: “Preparation is fine, but it must not cause unnecessary friction, especially not to stimulate the sensitive nerves of the Austrians!”
