Seeking Bismarck's iron speech
Bismarck gave a lot of speeches in the House of Commons. I only have those about war armament here.

Europe's war and war preparedness ... I wonder, since the end of the Great War in 187, which year has there been no warning of war? When we came back from the war in the early 197s, they had already said: When will we start the war again? When will we start the "revenge division" again? Five years at the latest. At that time, they said to us: "Whether we will have a war or not and whether we can win (this is exactly what a centrist representative used to blame me in Congress), now it is entirely up to Russia. Only Russia holds the decision. " At this moment, we must try our best to strengthen ourselves. As long as we are willing, we can be stronger than any country in the world with the same resources. Therefore, it is a sin not to use our resources. If we don't need an army ready to fight, we don't need to recruit this army. It only depends on the unimportant cost. The question of cost really doesn't matter, I just carry it with me. I said that we must continue to work hard in order to cope with all emergencies. In view of China's geographical position, in order to achieve the above goals, I suggest that we must make greater efforts than other big countries. China is located in the middle of Europe. We may be attacked on at least three borders. Only the east and west of France and Russia are unprotected borders. Because of our geographical position, and perhaps the solidarity shown by the German people up to now is weaker than that of other nationalities, we are more directly threatened by hostile allied countries than the people of any other country. In any case, God has put us in a neighborhood where we are not allowed to slack off a little, and we are not allowed to roll in the mire of survival. This bill will enable our country to increase troops equipped with more weapons. When we don't need to increase the number of soldiers, the additional soldiers don't need to be recruited. If we have enough weapons, they can be equipped at any time. This is the most important thing. I still remember the Corbin guns supplied by Britain to our reserve army in 1813. I used those guns to hunt, but they were not used by soldiers. Of course, in case of emergency, we can get weapons quickly, but if we reserve weapons now, this bill will strengthen our peace forces and give strong support to the peace alliance. It's like a fourth power with 7, troops joining the alliance. This is by far the largest team on the battlefield. ..... I never advocate a war of aggression. We will never wage war. The fire must be lit by someone, and we will never light it. No matter how aware we are of the above-mentioned strength, and no matter how reliable we believe the allies are, it will not prevent us from continuing to defend peace with our inherent enthusiasm and efforts. We will not be impulsive or impulsive. ..... We Germans are not afraid of anyone in the world except God! It is precisely because we fear God that we love and defend peace. Anyone who cruelly destroys our peace will learn a lesson and know what our German patriotism means! In 1813, when Prussia was still a weak kingdom, this spirit made all our people unite under the banner of our country. He will also know that this patriotism has now become the wealth of the whole German nation. Therefore, anyone who wants to attack Germany will see that this is a United and armed Germany, and every warrior has the confidence that God is with us.
