Holy Roman Empire

Chapter 1165: The end of an era

Politics is so amazing. The US government is struggling to give birth, and the international political pressure suddenly disappears.

As if pitying the misfortune of the United States, not only the various targeting methods stopped, but even war reparations were allowed to be deferred.

The international situation is easing, which should be something to be celebrated, but Americans of insight have become worried.

The continued targeting of the alliance will certainly cause heavy losses to the United States, but external pressure can also promote the unity of the American people.

Originally, I wanted to take the opportunity to divert the public's attention and reconcile the disputes over the amount of compensation in the various federal states in the country. At the very least, I had to complete the compound and mobilize the central government. Now it has suddenly become a dream.

Knowing that this is the enemy's conspiracy, but it involves their own real interests, the federal states cannot shrink back at all.

War reparations are an astronomical figure, and every percentage point of concession will put a heavy financial burden on the state government.

The extra money will eventually fall on the people and enterprises. Although the politicians have no morals, the votes cannot be ignored.

Everyone knows that if such a stalemate continues, major events will eventually happen; unfortunately, real money is involved, and no one can come up with a solution that satisfies all parties.

Each federal state has its own leadership team. There is no central government for two days a day, so there is no problem; if there is no central government for one month or two months, the problem is not too big; if there is no central government for a year or two, things will happen. Up.

Not everyone wants someone to take care of it. Although the central government of the United States has a low sense of existence, it still can't resist the ambitions of careerists.

When everyone is used to the absence of a Washington government, then the Washington government will really cool off.

In the final analysis, the United States is just a country of immigrants that has been established for a hundred years. It has no centripetal force in itself, and it comes together entirely because of interests.

Since it is possible to aggregate because of interests, it is also possible to separate families because of interests.

It is conceivable that after this wave, even if the United States does not split, it will, like the Confederate countries next door, change from a Confederation to a Confederation.

It seems that only one word has changed, but in fact it is a fundamental change in nature.

The relationship between the states and the central government has directly become a cooperative partner. When you are happy, you can play together, and when you are unhappy, you will quit in minutes to show you.

In the past few decades, the Confederate states have not only heard news about the withdrawal of the joining states, and even some states have already taken actual actions.

Of course, behind the ins and outs, the push of the Washington government is indispensable.

Adhering to the principle of not killing you, but also disgusting you. Successive Washington governments have liked to do things on this.

It's a pity that people are making trouble, and with the danger of the United States on the side, the states of the federal state dare not give up the group. When he calmed down, he was a family again.

Originally, everyone was just watching jokes and didn't expect Feng Shui to take turns. Now it's your turn.

...

America is not peaceful, nor is Eastern Europe. After the tsarist government rejected the "good faith" mediation of the Continental Alliance, the situation of the civil war fell again.

With an endless stream of "volunteers" rushing to the anti-Russian front, the wave of independence was once again pushed to a climax.

The Finnish Independence Army, which was only trying to defend against danger, came out, and the rebels in the Polish-Lithuanian region all focused on the same target-St. Petersburg.

This is not over yet. After the Bulgarians in the Balkans expelled the Russian army, they launched the Battle of Constantinople (Tsar Geller).

The rebels in the Caucasus are not willing to be lonely, and are now marching along the Volga River. It is impossible to determine the specific strategic goals in the short term, but it seems to be where you plan to hit.

The Ukrainian independence movement has also reached its climax. With the help of "volunteers", the Independence Army has gradually gained the upper hand on the battlefield.

The situation in Central Asia is still erosive, and there is no sign of improvement. Siberia has the upper hand, but it doesn't make any sense.

...

It's not that the Russian army doesn't work hard, it's that the rebels are too arrogant. Airplanes and tanks all appeared on the battlefield, making the government forces lacking guns and ammunition suffer.

Suppress the rebellion?

No, this is clearly a war with the European world. The chief culprit for all this is the international "mediation" that was previously rejected.

It's too late to regret now. The Continental Alliance clings to the main force of the Russian army on the front line. The Tsarist government can only let the peasants who have just put down their hoes on the battlefield.

With the development of the situation, more and more ethnic minorities in Russia have participated in the national independence movement.

If you want to investigate the reasons in depth, it still comes from an article "On the National Independence Movement". Can cause such a big impact, the writing of the article is naturally not ordinary people.

That was half a year ago. In order to add obstacles to the Russians, Franz published "On the National Independence Movement" in the Austrian daily newspaper.

The article clearly stated his position, namely:

"For mainstream ethnic groups (80%) who have their own civilization, a long traditional history and culture, have lived in a certain area for a long time (over 500 years), and have a strong desire for independence, they should be given independence."

Undoubtedly, this is a typical example of being full, and now it's starting to hit the pot. If it was left thirty or forty years ago, if anyone dared to say that, it would be an unrequited enemy...

However, politics is so mysterious. Once my own ethnic problem is solved, it is time to take it out and do things.

In fact, Franz has been very restrained. While supporting the national independence movement, he also attached many prerequisites.

The reason is naturally to avoid accidental injury. In the era of colonial empires, the national independence movement is on the rise, and the major colonial empires are the first to bear the brunt.

Unlike the Shenluo colony, which is vast and sparsely populated, it will basically not be impacted. Other colonial empires are quite different.

Especially the group of kids who just carve up India, who doesn't rule over tens of millions of people, once it gets into trouble, it will be very terrible.

Living time and population ratio are not bothersome. The key lies in "civilization" and "historical culture".

There is no specific standard for this thing. It is entirely because the European world thinks that there is it, and it thinks that it doesn't exist if it doesn't.

Even so, accidental injuries still occurred.

According to incomplete statistics, after Franz's "On the National Independence Movement" was published, in the second half of 1905, the outbreak of the national independence movement in the world directly doubled.

Natural Russia, which has the greatest influence, is clearly aimed at them. People of insight from various nationalities who want independence will naturally not let go of this golden opportunity.

In addition to this political signal, there is also a political event that has attracted much attention, that is, the "Russian-Austrian League" will expire at the end of the year.

Judging from the current situation, the possibility of renewing the contract between the two countries is infinitely close to zero. Once the "Russian-Austrian League" ends, the international situation facing the tsarist government will be even more sinister.

...

1905 is destined to be an extraordinary year, with turbulent events that lasted from the beginning of the year to the end of the year.

Under Franz's sign, on November 7, 1905, the Imperial Assembly passed the proposal to upgrade the Central American colony to the Principality of Latin America, the Southern Ocean to the Southern Principality, and the North American colony to the Maple Leaf Principality.

The meal has to be eaten one bite at a time. In order to give everyone a period of adaptation, Franz himself served as the king.

Facts have proved that this approach is really effective. The original criticism about the three major states quickly disappeared.

In the eyes of many opponents, the emperor personally serves as the king is a sign of concession. Just look at Franz's title, it's a silly existence without mathematics.

With so many titles, the Holy Roman Empire is still the Holy Roman Empire, and the emperor’s title did not change the mode of governance.

The left and right are the same name, and it is absolutely impossible to confront the emperor for such a trivial matter. After all, everyone is only opposed to the establishment of a state, not against the emperor.

...

At the Vienna Palace, Franz looked at the draft abdication edict in his hand, and after confirming that there was no problem, he slowly said: "Publish it!"

"father……"

Before Frederick had finished speaking, Franz interrupted: "Well, no need to say more. Now that I have decided to abdicate after Christmas, I won't change it anymore.

Don't worry, just tell the outside world that my health is not good and I need to rest. People in their 70s or 80s, who can say that I can't pretend to be sick?

From now on, you should learn to adapt to the life of the monarch. You need to deal with all the big and small problems you will encounter in the future.

The throne is not only a kind of glory, but also a kind of responsibility. You have seen a lot over the years, but this is not enough. The world of the monarch is far more cruel than this.

As the ZTE master of the Habsburg dynasty, the outside world took my position too high. Even if I did something wrong, someone would spontaneously make up a bunch of reasons.

Especially in the past ten years, they have almost been deified. Just look at the parliament. In recent years, all the proposals I have instructed have been passed unanimously.

The reason for passing the proposal is not because of the content of the proposal, but because the person who pushed the proposal is me-Joseph Franz.

This is very scary. If this goes on, I am afraid that I will be lost in it, and I really think I can do everything.

It is important for a person to have self-knowledge, and we are all ordinary members of all living beings. It's nothing more than standing taller, having broader knowledge, at best being a little smarter than ordinary people, and being ordinary people in essence.

Now the rapids retreat bravely, whether it is for the country, for the family, or for me personally is the best choice.

But you are miserable. With a father like me, you will have to be contrasted and provoked in the years to come. This requires you to maintain a calm mind and treat all this rationally. "

Too high prestige is sometimes a trouble. In case the heir's mentality is not strong enough, it is very easy to fall into the gutter.

But in this respect, Franz doesn't think the problem is big. Frederick was not young anymore, and his mind had matured a long time ago, not to mention he was watching from behind.

As the person involved, Franz now fully understands why the ancient emperors, wise and powerful in their youth, made mistakes frequently in their later years.

Living in flattery every day, the more lies are heard, and they become the truth. Compared to these predecessors, Franz now has a choice.

In order to be able to retreat smoothly this time, Franz did not hesitate to "use bad health" as an excuse.

Combined with his age, this explanation is very convincing. The emperor had broken his heart for the country, and now he was overworked and had to abdicate early.

Regardless of whether others believe it or not, Franz himself believed it anyway.

The big event of the emperor's abdication attracted attention from the front, passing the throne of the three kingdoms to the other three younger sons is not worth mentioning.

Aiko is eager, even older people can understand. The eldest son inherited the main business and divided the other sons' share of the property to settle down, which is also in line with the traditions of the European world.

There is also a colony on the left and right. Anyway, it is a "poor country", which is acceptable to everyone.

Even if someone wants to object, there is no way to speak at this time. Who is making the emperor "critically ill"?

If there is a disturbance at this time, which affects the emperor's "recovery", and accidentally lets the emperor see God, it will be great fun.

With Franz's influence, the Holy Roman Empire will never have a place for them. Such terrifying consequences are enough to make any political figure daunted.

In order to successfully complete the state plan, Franz worked hard, and even used it himself.
