Chapter 183 Amending the Covenant (Part 2)

(Everyone, please wait a moment and check again in an hour. The coding is not finished yet. Thank you everyone.)

The coronation ceremony of William II was, needless to say, grand and grand. Boys and girls formed various float formations and other various teams, which filled the entire parade with the atmosphere of the rising sun.

As for the enthronement scene, there is nothing to say. Carlo and a group of princes and princes stood aside and watched William's enthronement ceremony at close range. They first presented the crown, then the people present paid tribute to him, and then his declaration of enthronement.

Of course, in addition to these major steps, there are also some interludes, but I am not allowed to describe them one by one in this sentence.

On the contrary, the subsequent parade was much more beautiful than the enthronement ceremony. Of course, Carlo also accomplished a task during this process, which was to take the opportunity to tell Wilhelm II, who had just become the German Emperor, that he wanted to talk to him about changes.

The terms of the alliance between the two countries.

Facing what Carlo said quietly, William II showed a slight surprise, but then he gave a no problem gesture.

When he stood in front of his friends again, Carlo showed a sad expression.

"Thank you very much for coming, Carlo. I'll take note of this."

William II, who still had a sad expression, patted Carlo on the shoulder to show respect when he spoke.

"Don't say that, William. I'm not only doing this for the sake of our personal feelings, but also for the sake of the relationship between the two countries."

Carlo's frank and straightforward words made William II feel a little different from other people's qualities. Of course, he was not saying anything now, but what was revealed in his eyes said everything.

Carlo also knew that he could not always stay in front of William on such occasions, so he then greeted other members of William's family, such as Queen Victoria, Prince Heinrich, Princess Sophie, etc. Faced with these

When in person, Carlo was equally meticulous and did his etiquette very well.

When Carlo visited Germany this time, he brought fewer members. Only Foreign Minister Bacona was considered important, and the others were not very important.

A heavy funeral is going on, but compared with the last grand funeral of William I, this time it is much different in terms of scale and guests. The reason is simple. The previous William I was highly respected and deeply loved by the German people.

Like it. As for Emperor Frederick III, he has only been in office for three months and has basically never been seen. How many people can really like this emperor?

Of course, Carlo didn't particularly care about this, because he came with an important mission during his visit to Germany. Of course, he would not say this in an occasion like Zhang Li's.

This would have to wait until the new emperor ascends the throne before he would contact William II to talk about it. Otherwise, wouldn't it be a waste of so many years of friendship?

And while Carlo was busy greeting Emperor Frederick III's family, a pair of eyes from a distance stared at him for a long time.

"King Carlo is so diligent, he must have some ideas."

Prime Minister Bismarck said this, and beside him was Marshal Moltke, one of the three heroes who had resigned. The two stood aside and looked at each other for a long time.

"No matter what he thinks, isn't it because you, the German helmsman, are here?"

Faced with Moltke's words, which he didn't know whether to consider as a compliment or sarcasm, Bismarck did not answer. Instead, he asked, "Moltke, why do you think of leaving the General Staff?"

That's right, Marshal Moltke has left the General Staff, which he has grown up under his control. After he retired, he lived his own leisurely life like a wandering cloud and wild crane. If it hadn't been for the death of the emperor this time, he would not have

Coming to Berlin.

But this time it’s not just because of that. Another reason is that after a period of leisurely life, Moltke felt unaccustomed to it. He planned to continue to contribute to the military. Of course, he would not be the chief of general staff.

After taking office, he tended to focus more on military theory or other issues.

"Wardsi can manage the General Staff well. If that's the case, why should I continue to stay there."

There was still one word left in Moltke's words, but Bismarck heard it.

However, he didn't like Mao Qi's style of running away first when he saw the opportunity was wrong.

"We can't let the results of Li's hard work be handed over to others like this. We need to at least look at it a little bit."

Faced with Bismarck's words, Moltke smiled and said, "You are wrong in your idea. Everyone has their own ideas, unless you plan to use military management regulations to govern this country. But you have to know that this is simply impossible. This will cause

Internal war, I will never allow such a thing to happen."

Although the two of them spoke a little confused, they still knew what they meant.

The Prime Minister was persuading Moltke to stay, but Moltke instead advised the Prime Minister to take advantage of this opportunity to step down. What they said next represented their own ideas, but the results were naturally different and neither could convince the other.

"Then what do you do next?"

Facing the Prime Minister's inquiry, Moltke spread his hands and said, "I plan to study some purely military theoretical issues. I will not ask about other matters."

Well, facing Moltke who had no ambition, Bismarck was not going to say anything more. After all, Moltke was older than him. Perhaps studying these things was also a kind of fun for him.

But when it comes to this, Moltke is the oldest among the three heroes. He was born in 1800 and is already 88 years old. And Marshal Earl Ron, one of the three heroes who has passed away, is also three years younger than Moltke. As for Bismarck

, now in his seventies, he believes that he can still do his best for Germany.

But this is what Bismarck himself thought, but some people don't think so.

"Carlo, you know, when I was a child, I admired my grandfather and the three heroes who made great contributions, especially the Prime Minister who used excellent diplomatic methods. But during the time I worked with him, I felt terrible.

This prime minister has changed from a hero to a stubborn old man, and I really don’t know how to persuade him."

On the next day, William II found his good friend Carlo and talked endlessly about his troubles. There were only two people in the living room, and even the servants who served were kicked out. The captain of the guard even arranged for the attendants to prohibit others

He came close and disturbed the conversation between the two of them.

Why did William II say something dissatisfied with the Prime Minister to Carlo? Firstly, Carlo was a friend, and he was also a friend of the king, which was important enough. Secondly, saying these things to Carlo was the least threat to him.

That's right, anyone who William II spoke to could cause harm, but it would be fine if he spoke to Carlo.

The reason is very simple. Carlo has no involvement in German political circles. In addition, Italy has interests in Germany and would not dare to let out William II's words unless Italy feels that it has too many friends.

I didn't see the pained expression on Carlo's face. William II came here early in the morning just to talk about this. It seemed that something must have made him very angry yesterday.

Of course, in the face of the angry William II, Carlo could only persuade and persuade. "William, actually I think the deterioration of the relationship between you and Prime Minister Bismarck is more a matter of communication and listening. The same words

, the effect is completely different between you and Prime Minister Bismarck. Of course, you and Prime Minister Bismarck may also have different political ideas. At this time, we need to be patient."

Although Carlo said that this also required patience, he knew that more than just patience could solve the problem between the two. Of course, he had no intention of acting as a peacemaker, but had his own purpose.

However, it is not convenient for him to say it at the moment. He needs to wait for contact with the iron-blooded prime minister before making a decision.

Of course, he is still a good friend in front of William II.

After the two of them finished chatting, they sent the satisfied William II away.

Carlo then said, "Tell Bacona to contact the German government and ask them what their attitude is towards our request to amend the Treaty of Tongtang."
