Chapter 459: Bismarck


The appearance of Bismarck completely plunged Ouyang into a state of madness.

If nothing else, just this name.

The name Bismarck had an incomparably great influence in the 19th century and even in later generations.

Bismarck was a military strategist, a statesman, and a diplomat.

He successively served as the Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Prussia and the Prime Minister of the German Empire, and with his powerful political, commander, and intellectual abilities, he built the army of the Kingdom of Prussia into an army full of iron and blood that can fight well.

In just a few years, Bismarck led his troops to launch the Prussian-Danish War, the Austro-Prussian War, the Franco-Prussian War, etc., and swept hundreds of city-states in hundreds of large and small expeditions, ending Germany, which had been divided for a long time, and establishing the German Empire, a powerful power on the European continent "I remember that before Bismarck made his career, he seemed to be quite miserable" For a while, Ouyang remembered a few interesting facts about Bismarck's youth.

Before he was 17 years old, Bismarck enrolled at the University of Goettingen.

However, Bismarck was not satisfied with his university life, and during his time at university, he often carried a sword at his waist and a large wolfdog.

But he has no desire to learn, and has contracted a lot of vices, and has fought 27 duels with his classmates.

Later, although he transferred to the University of Berlin to study law, he was not satisfied.

Although he became a lawyer after graduation, he was not content to do so, so he applied for a government job and became a small clerk.

At this time he befriended a noble woman and made a marriage contract, but he had no money, and wanted to make money by gambling but instead lost all his money and owed a lot of debts.

Therefore, this time the engagement was cancelled.

Later, he became acquainted with the daughter of a priest and became engaged, but the woman also went away with a wealthy soldier.

As a result, Bismarck had to return to his hometown with debts.

"Bismarck in his youth can be said to have achieved nothing, full of bad habits, who would have thought that he would later become a great man" Ouyang laughed with interest.

But there is one thing that Ouyang has to admire Bismarck very much, that is, his indomitable spirit, if it is replaced by ordinary people who have suffered bankruptcy one after another, betrayal of his fiancée and other unfortunate encounters, a few people can stand up again and work hard There are too few such people In the dark, it seems that Bismarck is destined to become a great figure Without these misfortunes, how could he be forged into an iron-blooded prime minister?

To this day, Ouyang still remembers a speech in the House of Commons of the Kingdom of Prussia when Bismarck had just served as the prime minister of Prussia and wanted to unify Germany and sweep through hundreds of city-states.

The great problems of our time cannot be solved by speeches and majority resolutions, but by iron and blood Subsequently, King Wilhelm I said to Bismarck: "I am well aware of this ending.

They will cut off your head in front of the window of my opera square, and then mine later. ” Bismarck responded: "If sooner or later you have to die, why don't you die a dignified death on the gallows, or die on the battlefield, there is no difference between that."

We must fight to the end."

Thus began Bismarck's magnificent iron-blooded career.

He went all out to defeat Denmark, Austria, and France by launching three dynastic wars, namely the Prussian-Danish War, the Austro-Prussian War, and the Franco-Prussian War.

In 1871, Bismarck succeeded in uniting the North German Confederation with Bavaria and established the German Empire, thus uniting all German states except the Austrian Empire into "Germany".

The reunification of Germany changed the traditional political landscape of Europe.

In modern Europe, the traditional political powers of the European continent were France, Russia and Austria.

The unification of Germany changed this pattern, and the unification of Germany made a powerful German state appear on the plain of Central Europe, greatly weakened France's influence on Europe, and Russia's threat to Central and Western Europe, and further made Austria withdraw from the stage of European hegemony forever.

The face of the entire European continent was changed and had a major impact on the course of European history for generations to come.

And all this, it can be said that the vast majority, is the credit of Bismarck Bismarck, the most brilliant and greatest military strategist, diplomat, statesman of the 19th century, is not enough to reflect his greatness "Whew" After watching Bismarck's life, Ouyang couldn't help but let out a long breath.

"If Bismarck can be recruited under his command, then my 512th Brigade, and even the entire Eighth Route Army, won't they have to fly, but this is difficult."

Ouyang hesitated.

Not to mention whether Bismarck can be recruited, the first condition for his birth is to take Handan City within 200 days, and it must hold on for more than 3 days.

This is too difficult Handan is a prefecture-level city in Hebei Province, more than 90 kilometers away from the Taihang Mountain Range, although it is not as important as Shijiazhuang, Baoding and Xingtai, but it is also an important city in North China.

During this period, the strength of the Japanese troops stationed in this period was not less than one Japanese brigade, and at the same time, once an accident occurred in Handan, the Japanese troops in the surrounding cities could be reinforced in a very short time.

In just one day, up to two divisions of Japanese troops could be assembled Ouyang once led his troops to capture Handan City, but he was also the kind who ran away after the fight, where did he dare to stay in Handan Therefore, if you want to take Handan, it is a super difficult task at all, not to mention that you have to hold on for more than 3 days If the little devil is forced to be in a hurry, the headquarters of the Japanese North China Front in Tianjin is very likely to mobilize more than 80,000 Japanese troops to participate in the war At least in Ouyang's memory, during the Anti-Japanese War, whether it was the Eighth Route Army or the National Army, there was never a precedent for taking a city like Handan in North China The task is too difficult "Ding Dong" System prompt: Please ask the host if it accepts this task Ouyang frowned tightly and began to think about it.

After a long time, Ouyang gritted his teeth and said, "Lao Tzu took it."

Anyway, there is no punishment for failing the mission, so what next There are still 200 days to go, take it one step at a time It's a big deal that I can admit it in the end, and I won't get pregnant anyway But what Ouyang didn't know was that later Ouyang really led his troops to attack Handan City.

The next day, 4 p.m.

Ouyang, Zhao Gang and Ma Jiujin walked into the Wanguo Hotel and came to meet Mr.

Zhang Peicheng, a patriotic overseas Chinese in Nanyang.

The first one is sent. t1706231537:
