Holy Roman Empire

To trouble Prussia, Franz just did it, the Austrian government will not invest too much resources for this, and now the most important thing is to develop the country.

At the same time as the Putin war broke out, Russia-Austria negotiations also came to an end. After nearly half a year of hard work, the two countries finally reached an agreement on their respective interests.

On March 21, 1849, Austrian Ambassador to Russia Weissenberg and Russian Foreign Minister Karl Vosserrod signed the "Russian-Austrian Trade Agreement" in St. Petersburg.

Treaty content:

1. The two countries shall treat each other as most-favored-nation, and the tariffs on commercial transactions shall not exceed the third country;

2. The two countries have formed a strategic trade partnership and follow the principles of free trade; (a war broke out between one party and a third country, and the trade between the two sides continues as usual)

3 ....

These very hasty commercial and trade agreements are obviously not the result of the efforts of the two governments for half a year. What really deserves the attention of the two parties is the secret agreement signed, including the "Russian-Australian Military Alliance" and "Russian-Olympic Power Division".

"Russian and Austrian Military Alliance" content:

1. Since the signing of the treaty, the two countries have officially concluded a military alliance;

2. If one party is invaded by an external military, it is deemed as a joint declaration of war against the two countries;

3. When a certain country declares war to a third country, it may ask the other party for assistance, including material assistance and military assistance;

4 ....

There is no doubt that the "Russian-Austrian Military Alliance" is a continuation of the "Berlin Convention" and has even taken it a step further, except that the State party has no Prussia.

Because of the Pudan war, Nicholas I was very cold to the Kingdom of Prussia, and the outbreak of this war also marked the end of the era of the "Three Courts of the North".

Compared with military alliances, the "Division of Russian and Austrian Powers" is the cornerstone of the alliance between the two countries. Each country takes what it needs and gets everything it needs.

The treaty states:

1. Austria recognizes that the Russian Empire has full sovereignty over the Black Sea Strait, Dardanelle Strait and coastal lands; (including Constantinople, Asia Minor, and parts of the Balkan Peninsula)

2. Austria recognizes the interests of the Russian Empire in the Far East;

3. The Austrian government recognizes the interests of the Russian Empire in Central Asia;

4. The Austrian government recognizes the interests of the Russian Empire in Persia;

5. The two countries share the interests of the Balkans and the Mediterranean;

6. The Russian Empire recognizes Austria's sovereignty over the South German region;

7. The Russian Empire recognizes Austria's interests in the Danube Basin;

8. The Russian Empire recognizes Austria's interests in Italy;

9. The Russian Empire recognizes the benefits gained by Austria ’s overseas colonies;

...

The two sides agreed very clearly that you support me in acquiring the areas along the Black Sea coast, and I support your annexation of the South German state, and everyone will come together to divide the Balkans and the Mediterranean hegemony.

Beyond these core interests, as long as the interests of both parties do not conflict, they support each other.

Russia and Austria have reached agreement on their respective expansions, which also means that the British-dominated Straits Convention is abolished. Without Austrian support, Britain and France want to suppress Russian ambitions in the Near East. .

According to the agreement between the two parties, Austria will acquire South Germany, Bosnia and Herzegovina, most of Serbia and most of Romania and Bulgaria.

In terms of territorial area, it is less than one-half of the Russians; from the perspective of economic development, the two sides are incomparable.

In this era, the coast of the Black Sea was developed. The essence of the Ottoman Empire was here, and Austria had no time to develop other regions except South Germany.

Looking at the income comparison between the two sides, Franz also understood why the Russian Olympic Games turned over in history, the Russians took too much, and the Austrian government was jealous.

What's more, once the Russian ambitions are achieved, the Austrian Empire can no longer sleep well.

Originally, Franz thought that the interests of the Black Sea Strait could satisfy the appetite of the Russians, plus at most half of the Balkan Peninsula, it turned out that he was wrong, and the Russians circled the Asia Minor Peninsula.

Since the bear's appetite is so good, he certainly does not mind pushing it. Austria acknowledges that Russia has acquired the Asia Minor Peninsula and the Russians have made concessions in the Balkans.

Franz didn't care about the scope of the Balkan forces agreed by the two sides. It was good to get it, but it didn't matter if he couldn't get it, as long as he occupied Belgrade.

The current Austrian empire does not have such a good appetite, and it will be supported by a single bite. If there were not many people in the Balkan Peninsula in this era, he would not dare touch it.

However, when performing a full set of dramas, if the appetite in Austria is too small, the Russians are expected to doubt whether there is a conspiracy behind it.

Franz guessed boldly that the great victory was being celebrated in the St. Petersburg court at this time.

In history, the Russians dismantled the Straits Convention, but they sent troops to help Austria suppress the Hungarian rebellion.

In this time and space, the Austrian government did not have chaos, and it managed the rebellion itself. Naturally, no help was needed, and the remuneration was impossible to talk about.

If the "Straits Convention" is in the back, the Crimean War will not be fought, and the Russians will not be able to single out the three countries: Britain, France and Austria.

This is also the reason why Austria was not human inside and out after the betrayal of the Russians by Austria in history. From British and French perspectives, this war would not have been possible without Austria's initial laissez-faire on the Russians.

"Your Majesty, we are too bad for this treaty. Once it becomes a reality, no one can control the Russians!" Prime Minister Felix frowned.

The annexation of the national policy of South Germany was led by his prime minister, but after seeing the cost of compromise with the Russians, he regretted it.

"If the Russians don't grow bigger, will we have the opportunity to annex the South German region? Who in Europe wants to see Austria continue to grow?" Franz asked in turn.

Metternich said with excitement: "Your Majesty, it is easy to release the Russians, but it is difficult to block them back.

Moreover, can we really merge South German states?

If the Russians do occupy these areas and we have not eaten the South German region, then Austria has lost its future. "

Franz said calmly: "Don't be blinded by your interests. On the surface, this treaty is very beneficial to the Russians. But do you actually think that the Russian national strength can support this plan?

The Russians wanted to swallow the Ottoman empire this time, and the Sudanese government must fight hard to resist. This war is clearly not over in the short term.

The French still have a lot of interests in the Near East. They cannot allow the Russians to expand, and they will not do well for the Russians. They will also let the French government unite against foreign enemies.

Not to mention the British, when it comes to the Russian competitor, when they relax their vigilance and support the Ottoman Empire is inevitable, or they will bring the French into battle.

Don't look at the strength of the British people who seem to be at sea, but they cannot afford to have money. As long as the Ottomans are not dead, they can let this war continue.

Even if the Russians are more powerful, they will eventually be dragged down.

Unless the Tsarist government can see what it takes, stop all military operations after the occupation of Constantinople, and defend in situ. It is not difficult to defend a fortress city with the national strength of the Russians. After several years of effort, Britain and France naturally give up .

Then the Russians gradually eroded the Ottoman Empire. If there were no accidents, it is estimated that if they worked hard for 30 to 50 years, the goal would be almost achieved.

Such a long time is enough for us to do a lot of things. By that time, the Austrian Empire may not be weaker than Russia. "

Speaking of the French, Franz wanted to laugh. In modern times, the Habsburg dynasty can be defeated by the French.

The Ottoman Empire cannot be counted. Their road to defeat has not yet officially started, and they are still in a large area.

From the 18th century, the French began their tragedy. If anyone pays attention, they will find that the French colonial empire at its peak was really thick.

Lost in the Austrian throne war and lost the Indian region; lost the Canadian in the seven-year war; and after supporting the independence of the United States, an anti-French war broke out in an instant, and the United States bought the Louisiana region. ($ 15 million for 2.6 million square kilometers)

This is just the beginning. If history does not change, the French will continue to lose their rights in Central America, including the Panama Canal, and the Egyptian-dominated Egypt ...

The French fell and fed directly to the British and Americans. Both of the latter two empires stepped on the shoulders of the French and became world empires.

Of course, the tribute of the Habsburg dynasty is indispensable. Without their selfless dedication, the British cannot rise up. Naturally, Americans need not say.

Franz finally convinced the cabinet. Of course, the treaty has been signed, and the boat has become a boat, which has also played a large role in promoting it.

Theoretically speaking, as long as the English and French are working hard, the Russians will still have difficulty in achieving their ambitions. The weak nature of the Ottoman Empire has not been exposed, and everyone still expects them.

If the Russians choose a conservative strategy and work slowly, then they need not worry.

Thirty or fifty years is enough time for the Austrian Empire to digest the South German region while industrializing.
