The end
I'm afraid, Holstein.
I've been waiting for your report for seven months.
Strange, isn't it?
Yes, fear. Real fear.
I can't sleep.
Last night I read in the Russian newspapers
that the enemy is coming.
No one is happy with the news.
The Tsar's surroundings are hostile to us.
The Grand Dukes are trying to drive him into the French camp.
The Tsar's friendship with our Emperor is sincere,
and has proven itself politically.
Yes, but the old man's strength is fading.
The Crown Prince has a cancer.
He can't be kept in secret any longer.
He can't be kept in secret either.
Professor von Bergman operated on the Crown Prince yesterday.
He's breathing through a cannula,
but his voice has been lost forever.
His life is only a matter of weeks,
at most months.
Are you surprised that I'm afraid?
We're facing an unnatural jump.
In our history, the transition from a 90-year-old emperor
to his 29-year-old grandson,
whose horizon is not yet beyond the Kermak casino in Potsdam...
It's a unique opportunity to fish for our enemies over there.
If Führer Bismarck is afraid,
how can it be that he's only ordered by the other statesmen?
I don't know if this gentleman has a conscience. I doubt it.
In France, they cry for vengeance.
Revenge for 1870! What a nonsense!
Revenge for a mistake you made yourself,
revenge only to make the mistake a second time.
These Frenchmen are harmless as long as they are alone.
But I sometimes dream that they will not stay alone.
Yes, that is urgent. The treaty is being terminated. What does Shumvalov say?
The war against Russia is inevitable.
Perhaps, but I must prevent France and Russia
from falling over us at the same time.
A two-front war would be a battle for life and death.
To keep the enemies apart,
to strike the individuals as close as possible,
that is the core problem of foreign policy.
The question of the Reich's fate.
Excuse me, sir, if I'm disturbing you.
What is it, Herbert?
You should come to the palace at once.
Is it time?
