Holy Roman Empire

Washington, the same Christmas feels differently. The impact of this war on the United States was relatively small. In addition to the slight impact on import and export trade, the United States is still peaceful in general.

However, this is just appearance. The political mistake of squadron brought a fatal blow to the United States.

Washington has applied to the Continental Alliance many times, hoping to withdraw from this war. Unfortunately, the Continental Alliance has not given a response.

Those who are familiar with politics know that they are not afraid of the enemy's appetite, but they are afraid of being ignored by the enemy. With a big appetite, there is still room for negotiation; being ignored, there is no way to start even if you want to talk.

With the surrender of the British Empire, the last hope of the United States of struggle was tossed away.

The strength of the United States is the best in the Americas, but compared with the Continental Alliance, it is a little peasant.

The people are still celebrating Christmas happily, unaware that the crisis is approaching, but the White House is unable to do anything.

"Did the Vienna government respond?"

President Theodore Roosevelt asked expectantly.

Secretary of State Pete Niedermeier: "The answer given by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Holy Roman Empire is, let us wait for the follow-up notice, and all issues will be resolved at the Vienna Peace Conference.

Judging from the current situation, we are afraid that we will be sad this time. The main reason is that the British surrendered so quickly that we had no time to react. "

There is no doubt that "the British surrender quickly" is just an excuse. The reason why the United States is really wearing small shoes is that its own development potential is too great.

Of course, the previous United States’ siege of Austrian Central America in the Organization of America’s coalition forces is also one of the reasons why they receive special care.

Now the British Empire has declined, but there is still a lot of accumulated heritage. The overall industrial strength is second only to Shinra, and it is still at the top level in the world in certain subdivisions.

Just like the Soviet Union after the collapse, whoever inherited the Soviet legacy is the military power second only to the United States.

The United States is too closely connected with the British, or the capitals of the two countries are too closely connected. After the war, British capital must leave the country to find a more suitable survival air force.

Although the European continent is close, the capital power of the European world itself is not weak, and there are more powerful aristocratic constraints, which is obviously not suitable for them to cross the river.

If you look at the world, there are not many countries that can accommodate the transfer of British capital. Taking into account the racial factors, the United States, Confederate States, and Brazil can really accept British capital.

As for the countries within Argentina, Chile, and Venezuela, the population is too small, and they simply cannot accommodate too much capital.

In-depth study will find that Brazil is impossible. Not only is the population limited, but there are still a lot of internal conflicts. Revolutions may break out at any time, and the uncertainty is too high.

Although the situation in the Confederate countries is slightly better, they are playing with the plantation economy, and there is obviously not enough room for capital operation.

The United States is the best choice. Whether it is population, resource situation, or social background, it is suitable for capital development.

If there is no external intervention, the United States will be the first choice for British capital after it leaves the country.

Once the capitalists are allowed to transfer capital and technology to the United States, it will be a rising power, which is very detrimental to the global layout of Shinra.

It takes too much effort to intercept capitalists one by one, and it is still impossible to prevent. In contrast, it is much simpler to directly attack the United States.

As the so-called fans of the authorities, the Americans who are trapped in them, did not expect so many. After all, the strength of the United States this year is limited, and there are still a lot of internal contradictions. It is really not worthy of the hegemony.

"Next we have to change our strategy, not only to lobby the Vienna government, but also to keep up with public relations with other countries."

Unsure of the reason for being specifically targeted, Theodore Roosevelt only regarded the dead horse as a living horse doctor to increase the scope of public relations.

This is destined to be a restless Christmas. Almost all the politicians of the Ocean Union member states are worried about the future of their country.

Even if it is a timely job change, there is no exception. "Twenty-five boys" are not popular anywhere.

During the war, because of practical needs, the Vienna government accepted everyone's surrender, which does not mean that everyone can enjoy the treatment of allies.

Looking at the ongoing spoils-sharing conference in Vienna, the countries participating in the conference all joined the Continental Alliance in the early days, and none of the latecomers.

The neutral countries that joined the alliance halfway through were okay. Although they did not contribute much to the war, the political squad finally caught up.

The countries that changed jobs in the later period are different. With the label of "two or five" on their heads, they are destined to be impossible to trust.

In particular, the few hapless men who sent troops to the war not only have to pay for their losses, but will also have to be "specially taken care of" in the future.

It's too late to regret. No matter what you do now, it can't make up for the early political mistakes. Even in order to consolidate the internal relations of the alliance, the Vienna government must also "treat differently" countries.

If you follow along, you will have meat to eat; if you watch the lively, you will continue to watch the lively when you divide the meat; if you stand in the wrong line and turn to the side in time, you will have to pay the price.

...

Time passed quickly, and the day of the Vienna Peace Conference was getting closer. Delegations from various countries arrived in Vienna one after another, and public opinion was ignited.

In the face of media interviews, the representatives of the victorious countries were full of spirits and the representatives of the defeated countries were downcast. They were completely different landscapes.

Even comic publications that have nothing to do with politics have come out to join in the fun and come up with a series of satirical stories.

For example: "Knights and Robbers Series", "Pirate Doomsday", "Animal World Dogfight"...

There are even more related literary works. Literati and writers all over Europe are working hard to write about this war with extreme exaggeration.

It is completely opposite to the anti-war trend of thought after the original time-space world war. It can only be said that it didn't hurt everyone. Except for the British who licked their wounds, the feelings of other European people were not deep.

The casualties are heavy, that is the number on paper, even the anti-French war can't keep up. Except for the British bombs, which killed a few unlucky people, Europeans did not feel that war was approaching.

The bloodiest wars broke out in the Far East, the South Asian subcontinent, and Africa. There was nothing in Europe at all.

Although the Continental Alliance also killed nearly a million people, these losses were shared by more than 20 countries, of which the Russian family contributed more than half.

The casualties were small and the results were rich, so everyone's feelings were naturally different.

Although there is a lack of classic works, compared with the classics created by tragedy, it is clear that the happiness of reality is more important.

The eyes of the world are focused on the Vienna Peace Conference, the building of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has instantly become busy, and there is an endless stream of people who come to visit every day.

When it comes to national interests, trusting favors and relationships are obviously not enough, but who doesn’t want to have a better relationship with the boss?

After all, this world is a society of human relations, and impressions are very important when one's own national interests are not involved.

Shinra is now the overlord of the world, even if it is just a word for help, many times the problem can be solved.

If it weren't for Shenluo's anti-corruption campaign too much, it is estimated that one of the top leaders of the Vienna government would count as one, and all of them would make a lot of money.

Giving gifts to officials is too risky. If you put off a big hat that corrupts the officials of the Shinra government, it's all over.

If you can't give gifts to ministers, try to give gifts to the emperor. In recent days, Franz has received softness when receiving gifts.

It's not that he wants to receive gifts, it's really a thief who gives gifts. In order to give gifts, the European royal family is another family, and it can always be related to relatives.

The good name is to strengthen the relationship between relatives. If you don't accept it, you don't give face, which will hurt the other's face.

In theory, this is a normal exchange between the royal family, and according to the tradition of reciprocity, the future needs to be repaid.

In another way, it becomes normal etiquette, and it is still the kind that really needs to be paid back.

If you just succeeded to the throne and are poor and need capital turnover, Franz will naturally not refuse this kind of gift.

Now it's different, there is no shortage of money in the pocket, and receiving gifts means receiving trouble. Not only to appreciate, but also to prepare valuable gifts to send back in the future.

After only a lap in the hand, Mao didn't catch it in the end, and the social influence was not good.

The more I think about it, the more I feel that it is wrong. Gifts are only the second thing to do. It is clear that the royal families of various countries are taking advantage of the opportunity.

In name, gifts are given in the name of the royal families of various countries, but the expenses are paid by the governments of various countries, and they will be turned around by his hand. In the future, they will return to the hands of the royal families of various countries and become legal income.

After gaining insight into the truth, Franz could only accept it obediently. It can only be said that the emperor can't escape the human relationship.

There are many royal families in Europe, and not all of them are rich in wealth. They also have high debts.

The main reason is that private property and state property in the European world are clearly separated. The country’s money is not equal to the king’s money. On the contrary, the king’s money has nothing to do with the government.

The king can use the money of the treasury, but he can't kick it into his own pocket. In addition to the normal annuity, they can only rely on their own business.

If it is a big country, the annuity income is high. As long as the population is not too large, the royal family can maintain the normal expenses. With a little bit of money management mind, a small life can be very moist.

A small country is different. The government's fiscal revenue is inherently low, and the king's annuity is naturally not high enough, and it is simply not enough to maintain the profile of the monarch.

But the monarch’s face must not be lost, no one cares about how to live his life secretly, and the decency on the face must be maintained.

If the annuity is not enough, you can only find a way to fill the hole. It's all right if you manage well, if you can't manage it, it's a tragedy.

As far as Franz knew, seven or eight royal families were going to borrow money to survive. It's not that they are profligate, it's mainly bad luck.

For example, in the Italian states, apart from the pope who is not short of money, the other monarchs are very poor.

This is the French people's pot. During the war, everyone lost the land of the manor, and because of the restoration, they ran out of accumulated family assets, and some even owed a debt.

As for why Franz is so clear, it is naturally: As a creditor, it is difficult to think clearly.

The Royal Bank has already extended them and then extended them again. If they were put on the heads of ordinary people, they would have been bankrupt and liquidated long ago.

In order to make money, these royal families have become the center of the fashion circle. Fortunately, they still know their identity and have not become spokespersons for luxury goods.

Everyone is not too high in morality. This kind of legitimate opportunity to make a fortune, as long as the first company takes the lead, naturally someone will follow suit.

Anyway, if you send out a lot, you will recycle more in the future. You can't even think about it generously. Even if they have caught up with the post-war benefit distribution threshold, governments of all countries can only recognize it no matter how reluctant it is.

You can’t give it to everyone else, just your family?

I didn't see, there were still a bunch of people who wanted to give gifts, but couldn't send them out, and two of them were almost red-eyed.

Politics is also sophisticated. As the leader of the monarchy, Franz cannot prevent everyone from getting rich.

Hello, my hello, everyone, it is the foundation of an interest group's long-term maintenance. It's just a matter of convenience, and it's natural to help.

If you study carefully, you will find that it can appear on the gift list, which is the protagonist of this spoils sharing meeting.

I don't know how future generations will evaluate it. Anyway, Franz knew that through an unseen deal, the relationship between Shinra and the European countries became closer.

In fact, this is just an episode before the Vienna Peace Conference. There are also many profit transactions, which are constantly being staged here.

The conference has not yet started, the Vienna government has signed more than 100 large commercial orders, of which only arms orders accounted for half.

The transaction has been completed in advance, and when the Vienna Peace Conference opens, there is not much to do.

Apart from the fact that the defeated countries are still selling badly, and I pray for your sympathy, the Continental Alliance is basically in harmony except for the strong dissatisfaction of the Russians.

Franz himself was surprised by the fact that a good international conference was played into a worldly society and insider trading.

But the reality is like this. The Holy Roman Empire is the only one. As the second child, the Russian Empire is not only isolated by various countries, but also busy fighting civil wars, and has no energy at all.

In the future, Spain, as the third youngest, is too weak. Not to mention that it is to wrestle with Shenluo to maintain the status of the empty powers.

Looking at the whole world, there is not a British that can fight, and it has a little strength, and it is still a defeated country.

Under the dominance of one family, as long as the Vienna government is willing, it can completely turn the peace meeting into its own words.

It is estimated that many countries are now regretting it. During the anti-French war, they should not be fooled to make Shinra bigger.

Regrettably, there is no regret medicine in this world. The Holy Roman Empire has become a general trend. Only one family is left to make the rules, and everyone can only follow behind.

While regretting it, it is estimated that many countries are still secretly rejoicing: the Vienna government will continue to pay attention to food, otherwise the life will be impossible.
