Berlin, City Palace.

This is a very magnificent palace located in the center of Berlin. It is also a palace with good "growth potential"!

This "growth" is the conclusion that Zhuge Weijiu and Zhuge Youde came to after watching Fengshui at the Berlin City Palace when they traveled together in Europe - the first owner of this city palace also chose this land to build a house The Elector of Brandenburg "Iron Teeth" (nickname) Frederick II apparently asked someone to read Feng Shui.I chose a "treasure land" with great growth potential to build a house.

Therefore, during the more than 300 years after this house persisted, the house continued to "grow", from a local tyrant's compound to a royal palace.

And the Marquis of Brandenburg has also continued to grow, from the Marquis to the Principality, from the Principality to the Royal Palace, and there is still room for further growth in the future!

As for the owner of the house, he is also bullish all the way, from a border land lord to the king of the European powers!

And it will rise again in the future!

This judgment of "rising again" was not made by ordinary people, but was calculated by Zhuge Weidao's father, Marshal of the Ming Navy, Marquis of Wuxiang Zhuge Youde for Friedrich William III.

At that time, Friedrich William III's army had just been defeated in the Battle of Jena-Auerstedt, the Prussian army completely collapsed, and even Berlin could not hold on and was about to give up.

At this time, Zhuge Weijiu and Zhuge Youde, who was inspecting military affairs in Europe, visited and saw that Friedrich William III was on the verge of mental breakdown, so Zhuge Weidao and his father watched the Feng Shui of the City Palace Finally, he made a prediction that "the market in Prussia is bullish"!

At that time, Friedrich William III didn't pay much attention to this "prophecy". He thought it was the Chinese Vice Admiral (Zhuge Youde was still a lieutenant general at the time) comforting himself.

Zhuge Youde and Zhuge Weijiu, who traveled in Europe back then, liked to look at people's physiognomy and geomantic omen, and they made many predictions that people at the time didn't really believe, so they took it as a joke.

But as time went by, most of the prophecies made by Zhuge Weijiu and Zhuge Youde finally came true one by one!
And the remaining prophecies that have not yet been fulfilled are not inaccurate, but that the time has not yet come.

For example, the prediction about the "growth" of the Berlin City Palace is now that the City Palace is already a royal palace, will it become a "royal palace" in the future?
Friedrich William III has been looking forward to the realization of this prophecy!

However, in the ten years after the fall of Emperor Napoleon, Friedrich William III never saw the possibility of Prussia's further rise.

Although Prussia's industry has been growing at a high speed, it has already surpassed Austria and reached a level that can be compared with France.

Moreover, Prussia's army construction has also progressed rapidly under the impetus of Blücher and Clausewitz. Not only has the general staff system been established, but also the officer training and military mobilization system has been improved-this Prussian military mobilization system is not The "Latin" system alone is a mobilization system that can transform the entire national economy, industrial production, and social organizations from peaceful to wartime in a very short period of time.

In other words, although Prussia's war potential cannot be compared with France, Rakshasa, or even Austria.But she can transform this potential into combat effectiveness in the shortest possible time.This is an all-round way to beat the slow with the fast!
However, although this military mobilization system looks awesome, it is useless. In the past ten years, the situation in Europe has been too stable, and it seems that it will never be disrupted.

And with Prussia's national strength, no matter how hard you try, it seems impossible to break the balance of power in Europe-breaking the balance of power is not something that can be achieved by bringing Austria, which is strong outside and capable in the middle, to a beating.Because the unification of Germany itself will seriously damage the balance of power in Europe, the external powers of Germany will definitely intervene jointly.

How could Prussia withstand the joint intervention of Britain, Rakshasa, and France?

Therefore, the efforts of Prussia in the past ten years seemed to be all in vain. It was not until the birth of the Second French Republic that Friedrich William III saw such a glimmer of hope.

The sudden London Revolution on March 1833, 3 and the ensuing British Civil War made Friedrich William III and his confidants suddenly see the dawn of German unification!
"Friedrich William, William Friedrich, Karl Philip, have you seen the dawn of German unification and rise?"

In an office in the city palace where a pile of broken maps of the German Confederation hung, it was the elderly Friedrich who asked two similar-looking burly men and an old man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks. William III, the current king of the Kingdom of Prussia.

And those two big, middle-aged men who looked a bit alike were the crown prince Friedrich William of Prussia and the second son, Prince William Friedrich.

The old man was General Clausewitz, Chief of the General Staff of the Prussian General Staff.

This Clausewitz did not reach such heights in the original timeline.He didn't even live until 1833, when he died of cholera while serving as an army commander in the field.

However, in this timeline, he was appreciated by those two "Zhuge" who could pinch and count, and escaped the fate of being captured by Napoleon's army.Also got more practical combat and opportunities to be promoted.

After the Napoleonic Wars, he was invited back to Daming as a military expert and served as a professor at the Army University for several years.After returning to China, he was reused by the King of Prussia, and was even entrusted with the important post of chief of staff.Now it is natural to serve as a staff officer for the Kingdom of Prussia.

"Your Majesty!" Clausewitz frowned, thinking, "Currently, the main attention of France and Rakshasa is on Britain... If there is a decisive battle between Prussia and Austria in the German Confederation, they will definitely No time to take care of.

And our Prussia can complete the general mobilization faster than Austria, and can also form more troops... Relying on the railways all over the Kingdom of Prussia, our army will definitely be able to quickly defeat Austria!

But now the question is, are we going to annex Austria after defeating it? "

Friedrich Wilhelm III looks at his two sons.

"Father," said Prince Wilhelm, "a united Germany cannot live without Austria!
Moreover, it is impossible for the United Kingdom to effectively interfere in the affairs of the European continent for a long period of time in the future.And Rakshasa's goal is definitely to capture the Balkans and Constantinople... If we can defeat and annex Austria, Rakshasa will be able to move freely in the Balkan Peninsula.So the Tsar will not object to our annexation of Austria! "

"William, and France!" The Prince of Prussia reminded, "Napoleon II will definitely intervene... In the past few years, he has been waiting for an opportunity to prove that he is a real Napoleon."

"No, he is not! He is just a speculator." Prince William said in a firm tone: "If he dares to speculate on the German Civil War...then we will defeat him!

I believe our 100 million Prussian army can do it!
Father, Friedrich, this is a god-sent opportunity for the unification of the German nation... If we miss it, there will be no unified and powerful German Empire in the future! "

What did Friedrich William III suddenly think of when he heard his son say this?A confident smile finally appeared on an old face.

The King of Prussia said: "We will not miss the opportunity... because there will definitely be a strong German Empire in the future. And this empire can only be built by us Prussia with iron and blood!
And we will succeed, the Berlin City Palace will become the imperial palace of the German Empire in the future!
So now... the General Staff is preparing a plan to crush the Austrian Empire in one fell swoop! "

"Yes, Your Majesty the King!"
