[1348 Bismarck and the Kaiser Family]

The full name of the Crown Prince Frederick is Frederick William Nicklaus Carr. In his original history, he will become the Emperor of the Second German Empire and the King of Prussia a few years later. Since he was only reigned for 99 days, he was also called the "Hundred Days Emperor". He was the only son of King William I of Prussia and Augusta, the princess of Saxony-Weimmar.

In 1858, Frederick married Princess Victoria of England. Princess Victoria was the eldest daughter of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert of England. She received a strict education and knew the influence of the royal princess to her husband's advantage.

In 1861, Frederick's father William I ascended the throne, and Frederick was appointed crown prince. He made outstanding contributions as one of the three legions in the 1866 Praise War and the 1870 Franco-Prussian War.

In 1871, Frederick became the heir to the German throne. Due to his long stay in England, he was influenced by enlightened, constitutionalists and middle-class ideas and had strong liberal ideas.

Crown Prince Frederick did not agree with Prime Minister Bismarck's iron-blooded policy, and Bismarck never liked him.

This was also known to Emperor Hua before he came to Germany. Before Emperor Hua visited Germany, the Bureau of Statistics collected a large amount of information about German politics and the German upper class.

On January 27, 1859, William, the son of Crown Prince Frederick, was born in Berlin. He was the eldest grandson of William I and the eldest son of Frederick III and Princess Victoria.

Due to breech delivery at birth, he suffered from Earbre's paralysis and even had left arm atrophy. To make up for this physiological defect, William received rigorous military training since childhood, especially in equestrianism.

In 1877, he entered the famous university of Bonn University as the emperor's eldest grandson, specializing in law and national studies. He received his bachelor's degree in 1881.

Just now, when Emperor William Changsun shook hands with Emperor Hua, the cute president noticed that Emperor William Changsun deliberately sided his body, cleverly highlighting the normal-functioning right hand and covering the defective left hand. He wore gloves on his left hand to make his left hand look slender. He also liked to lean on a sword or crutch with his left hand to make himself look more decent.

Crown Prince Frederick told the Emperor that his father, King William I, had rarely received foreign guests recently, so he asked him to come and welcome the Emperor, and would arrange for the Emperor to meet with Bismarck as soon as possible.

The cute president was satisfied with the efficiency of the Germans and smiled and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, the Crown Prince."

After the meeting at the railway station, Hua Huang and his party were arranged to live in the best Royal Inn in Berlin.

Although the Germans are thoughtful and welcome, the Emperor Hua did not feel as comfortable as in the Netherlands, but instead felt a little depressed.

"Bismarre and King William I of Germany did not show up." Princess Katrina Kaif said to the cute CEO.

"It's normal. Their relationship was not good, and Crown Prince Frederick was right. The German Emperor has not appeared in public in recent years." The cute president replied.

"Well, the relationship between the old William and Bismarck is not very good. When the Hohenzollern family just took over the Brandenburg border area, the Bismarck family was one of the bandit knights who led the rebellion in the border area." Princess Katrina Kaif smiled sweetly.

"Before the old William ascended the throne and during the regent, he had no good feelings for Bismarck. After ascending the throne, Bismarck might not have been appointed if it were not for the situation to be curbed. When Bismarck delivered that iron-blooded speech in Parliament, Old William was directly frightened by Bismarck's tough attitude, and even thought he would be overthrown. In daily state affairs, the two people often had conflicts. Old William, who was in his seventies, often tore off Bismarck's official documents. The two most famous conflicts between these two stubborn old men, one was the issue of handling Austria and its allies after the Battle of Sardova; the other was about unification.

The issue of the title of the emperor was later solved thanks to the mediation of the old William's son-in-law, Frederick, Baden, from which he mediated. The relationship between the two was like an old man riding a horse. The old man did not believe in the horse, and the horse was not willing to be controlled by the old man. As for the master of great merit, what was the master of great merit in the 19th century? At this time, the king of Prussia could not even handle the parliament and was not able to deal with Bismarck. Every time when William of old was fighting with Bismarck, Bismarck threatened to resign. Therefore, they were like a pair of opponents who were forced to walk along the night road, but instead they were not like partners." Princess Katrina Kaif smiled.

"This analysis is very vivid, it's like this." Emperor Hua agreed to Princess Katrina Kaif's analysis, "The relationship between the two of them is indeed both dependent and rejected, and is mostly dependent. William I, who always appears in military uniform, has a big beard, and has the reputation of "Prince of Shotball", is actually an unexpectedly weak and repetitive personality. At several historical junctures and when making decisions, William often showed hesitation and capriciousness, and even in 1848, he suppressed the Berlin Revolution. At the critical moment, he was often tossed by two contradictory opinions and did not know what to do. On several occasions, he even shed tears in front of his favorite ministers. The old king was in tears, and Bismarck's head

They clapped their hands to comfort each other. People like William I actually hoped to get strong push from a strong person with a firm will. Although he was almost twenty years older than Bismarck, he had no style of an elder in front of Bismarck. Every time they quarreled, his Majesty was hesitant to obey the will of the Prime Minister. Although Bismarck was destructive and reputable, anyone must admit that he was one of the most influential politicians in the 19th century. He changed the direction of the entire world history (although the unification of Germany seemed to be an inevitable trend, Bismarck still made great contributions in it). His will and lofty vision, grasped the pulse of the entire era. His powerful light made even William I, who was a king and an emperor, could only be overshadowed."

"No monarch actually likes this situation. However, if an ambitious monarch is chosen to change, while William I chose to silently obey and be willing to be an overcast emperor. This is partly because Bismarck has repeatedly proved that he is right; partly because of William I's dependence character. It can be seen that dependence is greater than exclusion after all." Princess Katrina Kaf also agreed with Emperor Hua's view.

When encountering important things, the cute President and Princess Katrina Kaif always have to reach a consensus internally to clarify the accuracy of their judgment.

"However, based on my meeting with Crown Prince Frederick, as well as his wife and son today, I see that William I's son and grandson do not have such dependence on him. They don't like Bismarck very much. Frederick is because Bismarck is too conservative in politics and has a bad relationship with the British gang represented by his wife; King William's eldest grandson is because this prime minister is too dazzling after all, and he does not need the empire to have a brighter star than him. Therefore, no matter whether William I's position is to take over or grandson after all, Bismarck's throne should not be able to grow up. The relationship between William I and Bismarck is very rare after all."

Emperor Hua did not know Bismarck's resume. Emperor Hua's history was not good. Apart from the matters in China, if you know a little, it was mostly obtained from the messy TV series and movies adapted. Foreign history was not clear at all. Therefore, Emperor Hua can now judge that after the death of William I, Bismarck would be pushed down at the same time. This can be said to be quite accurate. In this era, almost no more than ten people can have such an understanding. Everyone thinks that Bismarck's status in Germany is as stable as Mount Tai.

"Bismarrely from the powerful ministers that appeared in Chinese history, Bismarck himself did not mean to be an emperor, so there was no conflict between Bismarck and William I. William I was a very interesting emperor. He was a very brave soldier. He was the one who delivered an incitement speech on March 9 during the Spring of the World in 1848. Later, he was the one who decisively ordered the shooting of the masses on 13, 14 and 15. And later, he asked the parliament to agree to allocate 10 million tarrells to increase the usual strength from 140,000 to 217,000, and it was actually a tough attitude when he asked the parliament to agree to increase the normal force from 140,000 to 217,000, and it was also something William I did. But at the same time, when William I was actually bypassing the parliament, he was always worried about the danger of unconstitutionality (actually afraid of revolution). At this time, Ron suggested that Otto must go to the table.

Bismarck carried out tougher reforms than William. In fact, at this time, the emperor knew that he was actually not as good as Bismarck in terms of ability and prestige. Moreover, when William and Bismarck later argued about what the throne of the empire was called, William actually made concessions. To put it bluntly, a hardliner met another tougher hardliner. The weaker side knew that he was weak, so he chose to withdraw. In any case, William I would not feel very comfortable. As for Crown Prince Frederick, it was because Frederick received too much British education and had a strong liberal tendency to be incompatible with Bismarck." Princess Katrina Kaif smiled, "Your Majesty always likes to compare Bismarck and Li Hongzhang. In my opinion, Li Hongzhang is several levels worse than Bismarck in terms of attitude towards the emperor and the means of solving the matter."

"Yes, so Bismarck was the most important politician in the 19th century." Emperor Hua naturally admitted this point. He valued Li Hongzhang in the hands of Emperor Hua because the cute CEO had a little selfish intention and hoped that a politician who could be as famous as Bismarck in this era. No matter how outstanding he was, he was the emperor and could not be regarded as the prime minister. The prime minister was outstanding, but he could also add points to the empire. "To understand the relationship between Bismarck and William I, you must first understand what kind of person William I was. William I was the second son of Frederick William III, and the second son would not inherit the throne. Therefore, William I did not receive much education when he was a child. Like the second son of other nobles in Europe, William I was sent to the army to become a soldier and participated in many battles.

From here, we can see why William I became the army in such a weapon after he ascended the throne in the future. After all, he was also a soldier. This prince, who was unable to inherit the throne before, unexpectedly inherited the throne after his brother's death. William I, who became the king, carried out reforms and clashed with the parliament. William I wanted to expand his armament, but the parliament did not allow it. Under helplessness, William I had to order a person who was not afraid of the parliament or even despised the parliament as prime minister in order to execute his orders. And this person is Bismarck. From here, we can see that William I needed Bismarck, and Bismarck also needed a monarch like William I. The two were purely a relationship of mutual need and exploitation, and this also explained why Bismarck did not make great contributions to the Lord, because William I needed him."

"There is an incident that can clearly illustrate this situation. When Bismarck became prime minister, he delivered a "iron-blooded speech" in parliament. After the speech, William once said to Bismarck: "I know the ending very well. They will cut off your head in front of my window in the Opera Square, and then cut off my head later." Bismarck responded: "Since you will die sooner or later, why die more decent? Whether you die on a gallows or on the battlefield, there is no difference between them. You must fight to the end!" Through this incident, the two formed a unique relationship between the monarch and the minister, and the union of the two also allowed Prussia to successfully unify Germany. So I agree with what His Majesty said, as long as William I dies, the new German monarch will kick Bismarck off, because at that time the German emperor no longer needed a minister who shines more than him." Princess Katrina Kaif said.

"Well, that's it. The two of them often have different opinions, but they can finally reach an agreement. The two can partner in a harmonious manner. Although William I was nominally a monarch who completed the unification of Germany, in fact, he was not a very talented person. Many times he was even too rigid and conservative, lacking flexibility and overall view. After the P-April-Austrian War, Bismarck meant not to cede Austria in exchange for Austria to stand on his side in the future European turmoil. But William I was still the old mindset of a soldier, insisting that the purpose of the war was
