1878年最初的几个月里，当俄土战争有可能升级为英俄战争时，布莱希罗德和俾斯麦经常交换俄国事务的消息，布莱希罗德多次敦促俾斯麦在圣彼得堡秘密斡旋，以便确保老迈的外交部长戈尔恰科夫（俾斯麦讨厌此人）被理智的“西方派”舒瓦洛夫而非伊格纳季耶夫（Ignatieff）这样的泛斯拉夫主义激进分子接替 。最终，舒瓦洛夫与英国人的谈判成功地避免战争—这个结果在1878年夏天的柏林会议上得到适时的确认。

但有一个弱点是盖尔森无法回避的：犹太人身份让他永远易受攻击。事实上，他越成功，不确定性和受到的攻击就越多。他追逐着异教徒世界，也被后者所追逐；他越是深入那个世界，就越是意识到自己缺乏那个社会最为推崇的传统和特质。犹太人的身份界定了他的人生——远比容克身份对俾斯麦人生的影响更大。

俾斯麦作为政客的伟大之处正是在于其见机行事的能力，寻找（有时是营造）正确的时机和突然的机会，然后以可怕的速度和技巧利用它们。长期规划必然导致选择面缩小。俾斯麦将不愿做选择这典型的人类特点提升为一种至高的政治优点。发明“多重选择战略”最能体现他的天才。

法国人拒绝 60 亿赔款的要求，认为这个数字大到无法计算，即使有人从耶稣时代就开始一法郎一法郎地数，他到现在也数不完 60 亿。俾斯麦则回答说，“他已经为此做好准备”，带来一位从创世时就开始数钱的专家（布莱希罗德）。

俾斯麥會認為，無視自己的地位帶來的情報等於自殘。權力必須絕對與利益脫勾，公共和私人利益應該涇渭分明.....19世紀的偉人們可沒有這種想法。....權力無異應該得到尊敬和效忠，如果這些有利可圖就更好了。利益不會威脅他們的誠實，貧窮也不是為國王和國家效勞的應有回報。

威廉确信，这笔操作（指利率5%的债券转换为4%的新债券）每年将为俄国人节省2000万马克的利息支出，将会加强他们的信贷和充实他们的战争储备，并促使他们对德国全面发难。他要求俾斯麦停止转换，无论是直接向布莱希罗德施压，还是间接向柏林股市施压，让后者拒绝新的俄国债券上市。根据广为流传的说法，在写给俾斯麦的一封信中，威廉指责布莱希罗德是“没有祖国的混蛋，只想着他的买卖” P613

17日，皇帝两次要求首相辞职。木已成舟，俾斯麦时代结束了。布莱希罗德直到最后都扮演着重要角色。在最后几周的不确定中，他是活动和阴谋的中心。形形色色的人和派系都试图利用他，但他为俾斯麦所做的努力失败了。他甚至要为此承担些许责任。因为在俾斯麦统治的最后—就像帝国在凡尔赛诞生之时—布莱希罗德的形象让德国精英潜在的反犹主义公开显现出来。1889—1890年，反犹主义出现在政界的最高层，即宫廷本身。它被用作对付俾斯麦的武器，后者直到那时都认为自己可以不受惩罚地利用犹太人和反犹主义者，就像他利用其他大部分凡人一样。

布莱希罗德的眼泪是真心的。他与俾斯麦的亲密关系已经维持二十八年，与那个伟大人物的相处无论有时多么艰难，它都让布莱希罗德在感觉和实质上拥有重要性，那是他身份的一部分。轻视和痛苦已被遗忘；和许多下属一样，他也忘记自己曾抱怨俾斯麦“不懂得体谅，像挤柠檬那样压榨别人” 。剩下的只有悲伤，因为他与权力的联系被切断，他为大人物服务的习惯被打破。俾斯麦的倒台也意味着布莱希罗德的失势，他特殊的太阳落山了。眼泪是为自己而流。P620

布莱希罗德是俾斯麦退隐后少数仍然对他忠诚的人之一，他对此心怀感激。他现在几乎没有什么能给布莱希罗德；他知道布莱希罗德的忠诚代表真正的尊敬，于是也对后者抱以热情的敬意。1893年，俾斯麦回忆说，无论布莱希罗德的个人生活如何，“在我面前，他总是一位无私、极为聪明、谨慎和高效的商人，思维非常缜密”...
