When many crises occurred in the first few years of 1880, just like in the previous decade, Bismarck would never fight.

He tried his best to maintain peace three times. He looked back and cited all the internal factors that made Austria weaker.

Race complexity, Catholic power, Panslavism, Bosnia, Serbia, Poles, Czech problems, Tritino problems, he expected that no matter which of the above problems or all of the problems could become crystallization points.

Not only did Austria but also caused a crisis throughout Europe, Germany was affected only because of the strong alliance between Germany and Austria.

It would be too irrational to think that the Three Kingdoms Alliance has a solid foundation in any vicious period.

After the alliance, Bismarck refused to provide German assistance to Austria in the Balkans, and the same was true several times in the following years.

However, he was very cautious in avoiding breaking with Russia. Only under such conditions can he be protected by the Three Kingdoms Alliance and can only be guided by Bismarck.

When he was there, such loose union rarely occurred in danger.

At the hands of his descendants, the alliance turned into a fatal injury at that time.

How can Bismarck deal with the pre-European crisis? We can infer from his behavior when the crisis in 1880 occurs.

The Three Emperors Alliance broke down due to different opinions on the Bulgaria issue Bismarck and Austria, Italy and Romania united, while the Russians were about to expel the head of Batenberg and wanted to manage Bulgaria by themselves; the Vienna suddenly asked Germany to help their Barr plan.

Bismarck absolutely refused, he was only willing to do what he wanted to maintain the status quo.

If the Austrians want to seize the land, this is their business, and they will take risks in doing these things. "If we provoke because of Russia's unscrupulous invasion or ignoring the treaty, we are ready to help Austria with all our might; if we invade Serbia because Austria has not talked with us and thus fight against Russia, we are not ready to tell Germany that we will fight against Russia this time." These many crises have reassured Bismarck.

He told the Army Secretary: "We have no money to prepare for the new army, so I go and steal the money. I sleep more at ease in prison than now!"

Russian Emperor Alexander was stabbed for the second time. Although his son Alexander III did not oppose Germany, it was difficult to speak.

The new Russia neither intends to develop a three-country alliance nor Bismarck changes his appearance. He first proposes to join Russia. After eight years of talks with Austria, Bismarck prepares to meet Russia.

But the alliance with Austria is still unmoved, and for lovers, they still like this alliance.

The Germans were willing to combine with the Germans in Austria. Such actions were very beneficial and natural. They had no time to take into account the southern part of the empire. Only a few were Germans, and they did not care about the civilians who worked in the Austrian government. They were aliens, and they were different from the soldiers fighting under the Austrian flag. They were as hostile to the Germans as the French.

At that time, Count Paul Shuvalov (the younger brother of Count Peter Shuvalov) became the director of Russia's Eastern Policy.

He told Bismarck that as long as Russia could reach the strait, Germany would be able to send a guard to Paris.

Bismarck is now anxious to sign a treaty with Russia, just as Andrassi was anxious to sign a treaty with Germany eight years ago.

Both times were reinsurance, but the intention was extremely different. This time, the new alliance with Russia was to protect Germany and resist France.

His purpose was purely conservative. He would never weaken France and not become a powerful country.

He didn't want France to become weak because he fantasized about Gladstone's possibility of alliance with Russia.

In this way, Germany had to devote itself to France's arms.

He must get help from France or Russia anyway.

"If France attacked us, we should never imagine that we could destroy this nation, which had 40 million such smart people. The three great empires in half the east tried to destroy the Polish nation that was far less powerful than France for a hundred years, but they still could not be destroyed. If France was still a powerful country or after a little rest, it became a powerful country, which made us often regard it as a terrible neighbor. If we still won the Second War, we must be sympathetic to it, just as we did after the German-Austrian War.

If I sometimes sing another tone in the Imperial Parliament, I just want to intimidate our future enemies to ensure peace. If we cannot avoid war, we must make peace with France in an easy way after our first victory. If we defeat it, it is difficult for us to be sure that Russia will like to see a French Republic that wins the war and move closer to Russia's borders." Bismarck said to the German Emperor: "It is not only the issues between China, Japan, Britain and France, but also the Tsarist Russia, our strongest enemy is always Tsarist Russia!"

"Do you think the diplomacy between China and Germany has an impact and relationship with Tsarist Russia?" William I became nervous again when he heard Bismarck say this. Germany and Tsarist Russia never seemed to be able to really get together. It seemed that the entire European country could not get together with Tsarist Russia.

"Of course it's related. If China handles this matter with Japan well, it is very likely that it will stabilize the defense line in Central Asia. This will lay a bomb next to Tsarist Russia, which will explode at any time! At the same time, if China really intervenes in the Afghanistan issue and breaks up with Britain, it is extremely important to curb Britain's development in Asia. We do not have the ability and are not convenient to intervene directly. There is a country that can both make trouble with Tsarist Russia and Britain. At the same time, if they are always under the shadow of war, will they still have time to develop their economy? Are these things not favorable for Germany?" Bismarck's argument is very favorable.

German Emperor William I stood up and looked at the world map in the hall. A large area of ​​red was a bit dazzling. Those represent the sphere of influence of China, but the Central Asian region of China was intertwined between Tsarist Russia and Britain, which made William I feel comfortable.

William I looked at the red envelope on the table again, still unsure, looking at Bismarck and said, "You told me, but even if we are out of trouble, we can still get the money, right?"

Bismarck also looked at the German Emperor without any expression, thinking about how to answer.

War was just a tool to achieve his goal for Bismarck, so his "self-control" consciousness was also reflected in his attitude towards force.

He is a believer in power politics, however, Bismarck was not a military madman at first; but a politician, a politician who made his means completely obey his goals.

After the end of the Prussian-Austrian War, a demand for unification emerged in Germany that hoped to complete violence through violence, but Bismarck remained highly rational: "I also think that it is possible to promote German unification through violent incidents only. However, a completely different problem is the mission of causing a violent disaster and the responsibility to choose the timing. Arbitrarily, only based on subjective reasons to intervene in the development of history, the result can only be destroyed. As for the unification of Germany, it is very clear to me."

The use of force must be cautious and must serve real political purposes. In an international anarchy that emphasizes the supremacy of national interests, the realization of national goals must be based on strong national strength; at the same time, the use of national strength must be cautious, and the strong strength owned by the country should be combined with a flexible balance of power policy to better achieve national goals and interests.

In order to unify Germany, Bismarck launched three dynasty wars. The Prussian War broke out in 1864, and the war began in February 1864, and Denmark was soon defeated. According to the Vienna Peace Treaty signed in October of that year, Prussia occupied Schleswig, while the Austrian Empire received Holstein.

After the war against Denmark ended, he actively planned the war against Austria. On June 17, 1866, Prussia sent troops to Holstein to launch the war against Austria.

"If there is a Chinese country, it will make Britain and Tsarist Russia always be in the shadow of war, which is a good thing for Germany." Bismarck made his final efforts.
