His thoughts differ from a liberal's because the way he wants issues or problems to be solved is not by political decisions but only by war. Liberals wanted to make peace instead of war. Bismarck wanted war so he could get more territory for Prussia. By blood and iron, I think he means the blood of the enemies and the iron of the guns and weapons. If you were to answer questions or solve problems politically it would bring you nowhere in his opinion. He said that was the great mistake of 1848 and 1849, so therefore he would rather fight it out on the battlefield then answer to politicians and government.
