Chapter 320: A Different Path


; "Locks, at this moment our enemies in the east and the west have all kinds of problems, now is the opportunity for our Prussia to show its strength, this opportunity is simply a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for us Prussia, at this time, we should expand our armaments, as long as the situation changes, then it is a good opportunity for our Prussia to rise to the top, and now you want to oppose it, what are your intentions!"

In the face of William's accusation, I saw Locks stand up unhurriedly, and then straightened his clothes and said: "Your Majesty, Prussia has indeed made great achievements under your leadership, but these achievements do not blind your eyes, yes, intelligence from France and Russia shows that there are signs of chaos in both countries.

Welcome to Read..

But this does not become a reason for us to expand our armaments and war, and the most important thing we should do at the moment should be to develop our Prussian social welfare and devote ourselves to the construction of our Prussian people's livelihood, instead of throwing all the wealth that the country has worked so hard to accumulate into the bottomless pit of the army!

”..

As for the expansion of the Prussian army, the contradiction between William and Locks was simply white-hot, and it was obvious that both had the same purpose, that is, for the strength of Prussia, but in terms of ideology, the ideas between the two were completely different.

In detail, there is nothing wrong with William's and Locks' ideas, and the civil strife between France and Russia was indeed when Prussia profited from it, taking advantage of the internal turmoil in the two countries, and Prussia was completely comfortable making waves in it.

The outbreak of the sāo rebellion meant that factories in both countries could not produce with peace of mind.

The peasants could not farm with peace of mind, and this was the opportunity for Prussia to take advantage of it.

Prussia could have dumped its products into France and Russia, using the chaos in both countries as the basis for the take-off of Prussia's capitalist industry.

On the other hand, a strong Prussian army would also have a great impact on the whole of Europe, and a strong and large Prussian army could win more benefits for Prussia at the same time as France and Russia were in turmoil.

When neither country has time to take care of Prussia, Prussia can take advantage of your illness to kill you and rob the interests of both countries.

For example, the North American colonies of France and the Russian Polish region of Russia.

These benefits could have been taken from both countries when they were too busy to take care of themselves, but only if the Prussian army was sufficiently large.

It can be said that there is no essential conflict between William and Locks.

Both of them were European-style in order to achieve the strength of Prussia, but in terms of the means of action, the two disagreed "As the old Prime Minister of Prussia, Locks.

You're right.

But Locks, you know, this world is a world of the jungle, and even if we develop our Prussian capitalism to the extreme, is it not a mouth-watering fat?

You must know that only our army is the only capital of our Prussia in the world!

” Saying that, William looked at Locks with some excitement, and at this moment, in William's opinion, Locks, who obstructed his actions, was so annoying.

William even had some bloodthirsty thoughts in his heart, but this idea was forced down by William as soon as it came to his head.

In the face of William's eloquence.

Locks was a little speechless, but he was not ready to give up the persistence in his heart, looking at the stubbornness on William's face, Locks understood that the contradiction between himself and William would become clear with today's events.

It is undeniable that William has always been full of respect for Locks, and Locks is not a proud and arrogant person, at least on the surface, the two can be said to respect each other, and they are simply exemplary kings and prime ministers.

But only William and Locks knew that as William grew up, there were more and more different opinions between the two on the handling of national affairs.

As he grew older, William became more and more exposed to a sense of military supremacy, which in Locks's view was extremely dangerous.

Although, it seems, Prussia is one of the five great powers in Europe.

But Locks knows that among the five great powers, Prussia has the shortest history, the shallowest foundation, and the thinnest capital, and it seems that in the Seven Years' War, Prussia's performance seems to be very strong, but those who have experienced it know that it is a miracle that Prussia was able to survive at that time.

It was precisely because of the Seven Years' War that Locks did not want the next generation of Prussians to go through the same cruel tests as himself, and he hoped to build a peaceful, happy, and happy Prussia, and this idea became more and more intense in his mind as he grew old.

But this idea, which is somewhat unrealistic, is obviously in conflict with William's idea.

If Locks is like a dying sunset, he longs for a happy life.

Then William is as full of vitality as the sun at nine o'clock in the morning, what he longs for is hard work and enterprising, what William hopes is to make Prussia the first power in Europe, he longs for conquest, conquest, and conquest!

And as William grew up, he felt as if his orders were always invisibly hindered in the zhèngfu, thus reducing the execution of his orders.

Once, twice, three times, as the number increased, William had become more and more impatient, and he wanted the Prussian zhèngfu to be completely under his control, and he hoped that his orders would be carried out without delay in the zhèngfu.

In William's view, Prussia under the leadership of Locks, although still under the control of the royal family, had become decrepit, and this zhèngfu was becoming as old as those in power, which was simply intolerable to William, who was only nineteen years old this year.

William longs for change, but this change is bound to clash with Locks, which is inevitable between the two, and the two ideas are doomed to coexist.

Because in Wilhelm's view, Prussia will always need only one voice, and that is its own!

"Locks, Your Excellency, since you do not support it, then I think it would be better for us to decide in another way, and I propose to convene a meeting of the Prussian nobles at the end of November this year, when these bills will be submitted to all the nobles for decision, and we, the people of Prussia, will decide the future of our Prussia you!"

With that, William stood up and walked towards the gate not far away, leaving Locks alone in a daze.
