De Ruiz's explanation not only did not make William I's anger lessened, but instead became more and more prosperous.

The Kingdom of Prussia was on guard against all odds, for fear that the French Empire would step into the German territory, but it still did not prevent the French Empire from stealing its home.

Although the territory of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg is only the size of a free city in the German region, it is one of the important military fortresses in the German region to prevent the invasion of France. The loss of Luxembourg makes the Kingdom of Prussia and the French Empire border each other. Larger, Prussia The military pressure that the kingdom needs to bear is also more serious than before.

Of course, the military pressure faced by Prussia is not the worst thing. The worst point is that from the beginning of the French Empire and the Kingdom of the Netherlands to try to trade, the Kingdom of Prussia has not received any news.

As long as the Kingdom of Prussia receives a little bit of wind, this transaction will not happen at all. The Kingdom of Prussia will do its best to prevent the French Empire from acquiring the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, even if it assumes a posture of fighting at all costs.

It is undoubtedly the most intriguing point that the Kingdom of Prussia has not received any news from the beginning to the end. Either the French Empire has done a good job of keeping secrets, or the British and German princes know the transaction in their hearts, but they have tacitly agreed to this transaction.

If it is the former, the Kingdom of Prussia still has a chance to make amends.

If it is the latter, then the situation is bad, which means that the Kingdom of Prussia has been "abandoned" by Britain and Austria.

In that case, the Kingdom of Prussia would not have a friend in Europe at all, unless the Kingdom of Prussia wanted to be with the Russian Empire, then the French Empire would have a reason to clean up the Kingdom of Prussia.

Thinking of this, William I couldn't help showing a trace of fear in his heart. He would rather lead the army to kill with real swords and guns than go to an isolated and helpless situation.

The last isolation was during the time of Frederick the Great. Had it not been for the sudden withdrawal of troops by Peter III, the Kingdom of Prussia would have been eradicated by the French, Austrian and Russian families.

However, even though William I had some fear in his heart, he still had a tough attitude on his face, "The Kingdom of the Netherlands does not have the right to transfer the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg alone, and I believe that the German Confederation will not approve!"

"His Royal Highness William! It seems that the transfer of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg by the Kingdom of the Netherlands does not require the consent of the Kingdom of Prussia! Besides, when your Kingdom of Prussia merged the Duchy of Sigmar and Ringen, it did not seek the consent of the German Confederation! Why? If you want France, you must seek the approval of the German Confederation?" De Luiz raised his head and resumed his previous arrogance.

The duchies of Sigmar and Lingen that De Ruiz mentioned belong to the two branches of the Hohenzollern family. Their territories are all within the German Confederation, and their combined territory is not as good as that of Luxembourg. Both principalities were killed in the Revolution of 1848.

Although he was fortunate to have the help of Prussian soldiers to restore the country later, the princes of the two duchies were unwilling to continue to rule this pocket country.

As a result, Frederick, who was the king of Prussia at the time, purchased the territory of the two duchies out of his own pocket, and the territory of Prussia was slightly expanded in 1848.

[PS: In the OTL world line, the heir to the Principality of Sigmar was invited to serve as the king of the Kingdom of Romania after the Kingdom of Romania was established.

The heir to the Principality of Lingen also received an invitation from Spain to serve as the king of Spain.

However, the Principality of Lingen was not as lucky as the Principality of Sigmar. They were strongly resisted by Napoleon III as soon as they were invited by Spain.

In order to appease the many heirs of the Principality of Lingen, at the request of William I, he declared that he would never serve as the king of Spain. 】

Hearing De Luiz's rebuttal, William I refuted that the Duchy of Lingen and the Duchy of Sigmar were the territories of the Hohenzollern family.

"If only the territories ruled by the natives can be combined, then the whole world will be in chaos!" De Luluis refuted again: "In the end, this is just a lame excuse for you. !"

"If the French Empire is not willing to give up Luxembourg, then the Kingdom of Prussia does not rule out the use of force to solve the problem!" William I threatened De Luis with war.

"If the Kingdom of Prussia wants to use force to solve the problem, then France doesn't mind to accompany it to the end!" De Luis also said **** for tat: "The French Empire is not afraid to go to war with any country! Please believe that the French Empire will defend its defense. The determination of territorial sovereignty!"

After speaking, De Ruiz bowed to William I again.

"Mr. De Luiz! If that's all you want to say, then please leave here immediately!" William I said to De Luiz bluntly.

"Your Highness, I've finished speaking! Whether France and Prussia are at war or not is up to you!" De Luiz turned and left.

"Bastard!" William I said viciously, and then added loudly: "He and his monarch are complete bastards!"



As the negotiations between the Kingdom of Prussia and the French Empire approached a breakdown, the Kingdom of Prussia began to continue to increase its troops to the Rhineland. Except for the Guards and the two armies on the Eastern Front, the remaining five armies were all gathered on the Western Front. .

Not only that, the Kingdom of Prussia was also mobilized by their chief of staff, Mao Qi, and nearly 40% of the first-class reserves were incorporated into the army.

Calculated, the total strength of the Prussian Kingdom's army on the Eastern Front is about 150,000, which is somewhat unsatisfactory in terms of combat effectiveness.

The French Empire also mobilized about 150,000 people in Luxembourg and the Arlo area. These are all active troops of the French Empire, and their combat effectiveness is far greater than that of the Kingdom of Prussia.

Just as the Kingdom of Prussia and the French Empire were at war with each other, the (nominal) leader of the German Confederation, the Austrian Empire, also had the Foreign Minister Count Bauer (who received French gold coins) also made a voice.

He called on Prussia and France to solve the problem within the framework of peace and not to fight and kill at every turn, which is not good for the entire European continent.

The seemingly reasonable statement of the Austrian Empire made the Kingdom of Prussia even more annoyed.

In William I's view, maintaining the integrity of the German Confederation is not the responsibility of the Austrian Empire, the big brother. However, now the Austrian Empire calls on Prussia and France to solve the problem within the framework of peace, isn't it a blatant bias!

So, at the strong request of William I, the Kingdom of Prussia carried out a frenzied bombing of the Austrian Empire. (This also shows how valuable the diplomacy of the Kingdom of Prussia is without Bismarck.)

The Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Kingdom of Prussia declared in public that if the Austrian Empire really stood on the side of the Kingdom of Prussia, it should join the Kingdom of Prussia in sanctioning the French Empire, instead of acting as a French responder as it is now.

The words of Prussia successfully annoyed Count Bauer. He immediately told the Kingdom of Prussia whether the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg should belong to the rule of Jerome Bonaparte. It should be decided by Luxembourger and the German Confederation.

Instead, the Kingdom of Prussia should replace the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg as the master. This behavior of the Kingdom of Prussia is an attempt to put itself above the German Confederation.

As soon as Austria's "Purchase Letter" came out, the kingdoms of Bavaria, Württemberg, and Saxony, which had already been bought by France, immediately criticized the kingdom of Prussia.

The Kingdom of the Netherlands as the seller also criticized the Kingdom of Prussia in the name of the Duchy of Limburg (a member of the German Confederation) at the request of their monarch Wilhelm III.

When the Kingdom of Prussia and the Austrian Empire were torn apart, the French Empire also declared that they respected the opinions of the Luxembourgers and were willing to listen to their voices.

Thus, the first referendum in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg officially began.

The content of the referendum is: Who are you willing to choose to be your ruler! A: William III, B: Jerome Bonaparte.

In this case of choosing one or the other, there are far more people who choose Jerome Bonaparte than William III.

After all, one has a strategy of ripping off Luxembourg, and the other has a strategy of benefiting and benefiting Luxembourg. UU reading www.uukanshu.com which one to choose is clear at a glance.

In the end, the residents of the Grand Duchy of Lucerne ended the vote with 90% approval.

When the voting results were announced, the German public opinion that had been provoked by the Kingdom of Prussia was instantly extinguished, and the German elites who claimed to be democratic had to admit that this was the choice of the Luxembourg people.

(Interlude: Jerome Bonaparte, who learned the result of the referendum in the Crimea, explained to his nephew Jerome Paterson: the seemingly democratic referendum is actually nothing more than getting you in the watermelon With a choice between Apple and Apple, voters have no right to choose at all.)

Subsequently, William I asked Bismarck, who was stationed in the Frankfurt Parliament as the representative of the Kingdom of Prussia, to raise the public prosecution to the French Parliament, asking the German Confederation to deny that William III of the Kingdom of the Netherlands had the right to transfer Luxembourg at will.

Although Bismarck knew that this proposal of William I would definitely be rejected by Frankfurt, Bismarck, who still had a little German nationalism in his heart, still submitted this proposal to the German Confederation.

Just before the proposal was brought to the German Confederation Parliament for discussion, Prince Metternich, who represented the German Confederation President Franz Joseph, presided over the German Confederation Parliament, told the representatives of the German Confederation that the German Confederation would welcome a new person.

It's over!

Bismarck, with a keen political sense, immediately realized that the proposal was over.
