Chapter 134 Anti-water(1/2)
When Frederick looked at Bismarck for the first time, he knew something was wrong.
Bismarck lowered his eyelids and kept pulling at the pencil on the table.
Having worked together for many years, Frederick knew Bismarck too well.
This is a manifestation of his intense inner struggle!
As a comrade in the trenches, he should stand by his side unconditionally.
What is he struggling with?
An ominous premonition struck Frederick's heart!
Frederick's fingers kept tapping on the table, and his brain was working rapidly.
Thinking about what consequences he would face if Bismarck did something that was not beneficial to him.
The most important thing is how to solve the upcoming problems.
His actions were noticed by Duke Winter, who was staring at him like a hawk.
The Duke of Winter was keenly aware of Frederick's emotional changes, and soon turned his attention to Bismarck.
The only person who could make a sudden change in Frederick's mood was this number two man.
Duke Winter smiled when he saw Bismarck playing with his pencil in both hands.
Frederick knew clearly that the reason for the change must be Bismarck.
"Prime Minister Bismarck, what's your opinion?" Duke Winter suddenly spoke, and the "buzz" and "buzz" sounds in the conference room immediately stopped.
All eyes are on the old Bismarck!
Bismarck adjusted the crystal glasses given to him by Li Xiao and glanced around at the ministers.
These people are all his subordinates, and most of them were promoted by him single-handedly.
It can be said that Bismarck's attitude was crucial.
The moment Bismarck's eyes met Frederick's, Bismarck's eyes flinched.
Frederick's heart immediately went cold!
"I...!" Bismarck made a long pause.
Everyone looked at him, waiting for the Prime Minister to speak.
"I... support this plan." After Bismarck said this, he immediately lowered his head. He did not dare to look at Frederick's face.
Frederick's face was ashen and his teeth were almost broken.
He did not expect that at the most critical moment, it would be his closest comrade who betrayed him.
Many years of friendship and support!
Being completely thrown away at this moment.
"Great, Prime Minister Bismarck also agrees to this new battle plan." Duke Winter was extremely excited.
This will be a landmark political event!
This represents Bismarck moving closer to himself in public.
Although Bismarck is old and has been against himself for many years.
But over the years, Bismarck had many disciples and former officials in various departments in Prussia.
As the saying goes, a tree is big and has deep roots. Duke Winter could only be afraid of this old guy and had no choice but to do anything about it.
Now Bismarck actually took the initiative to come closer, and Duke Winter almost jumped over and kissed the old guy twice.
"His Majesty!
What's your opinion?" Duke Winter looked at Frederick provocatively.
Frederick gritted his teeth, wishing to chew Frederick's old bones into pieces.
"Humph!" Giving Bismarck a vicious look, Frederick walked away.
"Your Majesty, your opinion is very important." Duke Winter's voice came from behind Frederick.
Frederick once again had the urge to kill!
Duke Winter is a naked provocation in front of everyone!
Did Frederick's opinion matter?
After Bismarck rebelled, it didn't matter what he said.
Richthofen took command of the General Staff and carried out a purge of the General Staff within twenty days.
Now, this wave of purges is spreading among the military.
As the emperor, he lost his military power, and Bismarck's rebellion reduced his control over the government to its lowest point.
If the government is also purged next, then his emperor will be a castle in the air, an emperor who has been emptied out.
"Gentlemen, let us implement the new battle plan.
Now, let me tell you the details of the plan, Chief of General Staff Richthofen."
Duke Winter's excited voice echoed in the conference room.
Even he didn't expect that victory would come so easily.
Richthofen picked up the baton again and began to explain the details of the combat plan, as well as specific data such as the materials that each department would cooperate in raising in the next month.
The meeting lasted until late at night, and Bismarck left the venue early on the pretext of feeling unwell.
For a person of his level, he is actually just expressing his attitude in meetings.
Those who really do the work are actually these ministers.
Bismarck expressed his support for this combat plan, and the ministers he promoted certainly understood it and were extremely cooperative with the new plan.
Duke Winter personally escorted Bismarck out of the conference room and all the way to the gate of the General Staff.
"Prime Minister Bismarck, if it's convenient, how about having lunch with us tomorrow?" Bismarck's betrayal was sudden, and Duke Winter was not prepared at all.
In political matters, benefits must be distributed as soon as possible.
Otherwise, this kind of unreliable alliance is very prone to problems.
"I am old and not in good health." Bismarck's words made Duke Winter puzzled.
You fucking took off your pants, why are you pretending to be innocent?
Fortunately, Bismarck had another sentence: "You are also very busy, I think it's time for dinner.
After dinner, we can still chat."
Damn it’s time to hit the road!
The so-called dinner was actually a negotiation. A negotiation about what political benefits Bismarck would gain by supporting Duke Winter.
Duke Winter needs to discuss with his staff what conditions he can agree to and what conditions he cannot agree to.
Bismarck also had to consider how to maximize his own interests.
In fact, time is very tight for both parties.
Because there are too many interests to consider here.
Eating lunch will seem a bit rushed, but having dinner will give you a lot more time.
"Okay, we will meet at the Berlin Grand Hotel at six o'clock tomorrow.
I will reserve a seat in advance and let the adjutant inform you." Duke Winter was in a good mood. After shaking hands with Bismarck cordially, he watched Bismarck's carriage leave.
Duke Winter was very busy that night.
Not only did he attend the meeting of the General Staff, but after the recall, Duke Winter also discussed with his staff the scale of the conversation with Bismarck tomorrow night.
In fact, what the big guys talk about together is all about attitude.
They set a tone, and all subsequent details depend on these staff to follow up.
It's dawn, and the sun shines through the window into the conference room window.
Duke Winter is still in high spirits after not sleeping all night!
"Your Majesty Duke, let's have some breakfast. After breakfast, you should rest for a while."
Richthofen consoled his great patron.
He also did not expect that Bismarck would actually rebel against the enemy.
Richthofen thought that Duke Winter had done all this beforehand.
Even an old fox like Bismarck can handle it. Richthofen's admiration for Duke Winter is like an endless river...!
"Yeah!" Duke Winter nodded.
After a busy night, I drank a lot of coffee, but my stomach was empty.
To be continued...
