Holy Roman Empire

In January in Vienna, in the cold wind, snow fell lightly from the sky and fell like raindrops. A gust of wind blew like fine salt sprinkled into the sky, flying around the sky, decorating the entire Vienna Palace into a fairy-tale ice-snow world.

Franz has changed his good habit of winter swimming. In this ice and snow world, he can't sink water. In case of illness, he can't rest assured about the medical treatment of this era.

A thick layer of ice has formed on the artificial lake, and several younger brothers are still playing on it.

Did it fall? It doesn't matter, just take an ice bath and get up and change clothes to continue.

There is no spoiled breeding. Their brothers have received militarized training since childhood. Their ability to talk on paper is definitely not low, otherwise Franz would not run confidently to command the army.

As the snowflakes fluttered, Franz stood in the pavilion and looked into the distance, and the water in the teapot beside him had begun to boil.

Making tea, I don't know when it started, Franz developed a habit. That's right, just cooking, he likes the aroma of tea.

How much tea is wasted every day for this reason is not what Franz cares about. Anyway, there are so many people who make flattery, he doesn't consume a little more, where is the opportunity for others?

The main drink of the Vienna court is still coffee. Tea is only an occasional preparation, and it is still mostly black tea. With sugar and milk, it becomes the so-called milk tea.

"Your Majesty, the Archbishop of Kentonia seeks to see you." The maid's clear voice sounded in her ears.

The church's people came, and Franz frowned. You know, since the Austrian government's operation of the domestic church, there has been a crack in the relationship between the church and the Vienna court.

Even the Archbishop of Kentnia, who has always had a good relationship with the royal family, has reduced its contact with the royal family. At this time, he has come to the door, and there will probably be no good things.

"Take him here!" Franz said lightly.

Everyone has come to the house, and in the past friendship, Franz can't escape.

... (Holy Land Crisis broke out, omitted 10,000 words, dare not touch religion)

"Sir, look?" Asked Archbishop Kentnia anxiously.

He is a devout Catholic, and a hypocrite like Franz is not a concept at all, and is very angry at what happened.

"I see. There are many issues involved in this matter. I need to discuss with the cabinet before making a decision." Franz answered with a frown.

My heart has begun to retreat, if expected, the fuse of the Crimean War in history is the crisis, and Franz does not want to fall into it.

When the desired result was not achieved, the Archbishop of Kentonia was powerless. It is no longer the Middle Ages, and the imperial power has overwhelmed the sectarian power in Austria.

...

"Your Majesty, Louis-Napoleon-Boonaparte is ambitious and wants to reinstate France's status as a great power in Europe. It is better to give them the opportunity to perform!" Metternich suggested

Austria doesn't want to go ahead, it's time to find someone. There are many Catholic countries in Europe, and there are only three Austria, France, and Spain.

The current situation in Spain is not optimistic. There are a lot of internal problems and there is no energy to interfere with this problem.

The most suitable is the French, and now their international status and strength are seriously inconsistent.

Louis Napoleon Bonaparte's attempt to secure France's status is only one aspect. More importantly, he must obtain the support of the people if he wants to restore.

If you do something else, the parliament will definitely oppose him and hinder him, and interference is the best option. Even his political opponents on this issue are afraid to stand up against it.

"Then give the opportunity to the French. The government must appease the emotions of the people in the country. The Information Supervision Department must pay attention to the direction of public opinion and cannot be led by others.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs coordinated its relations with its allies. The government allocated special funds of two million dongs for propaganda in the South German region. We must find ways to slowly control public opinion in these regions.

It is best to buy some newspapers and publishing houses secretly in the local area, and vigorously support pro-Austrian and German reunification.

These things are inconvenient for the government to come forward, and can let intelligence organizations or non-governmental exchange organizations come forward.

The German state is a whole, and we can also set up some comprehensive non-governmental organizations, such as the German Writers Association, the German Artists Association, and so on. Franz thought about it and said

I don't want to know, only to think of Franz, that in this age of art and culture Austria actually has advantages.

Of course, this advantage cannot be compared with France, they are the leaders of romanticism; nor can it be compared with Italy. As the birthplace of the Renaissance, Rome is the cultural center of Europe.

However, it is not the same in the German region. Those small states will not say it, and their own influence is too small.

Prussia, as an army-dominated country, is it too trivial to talk to them about art? The system determines their inherent inadequacy in culture.

Bavaria, everything else is good, but a little bit poor. This is an embarrassing problem, and art needs a material foundation.

Against this background, Austria stands out. Vienna is also a historic city, and its cultural heritage is better than any German state.

In modern times, what is called "the country's unfortunate poet", as a multi-ethnic country, various cultural ideas collided with each other and naturally sparked sparks. In this era, Austria reached its cultural peak.

Now that we have the advantage, we will take advantage of it. There is no harm without comparison. The idea of ​​unification has begun to spread in the German region. Compared with the rigid Prussian kingdom, who will be supported by the cultural circles, this multiple choice question is very easy to do.

Don't look at these pens, it doesn't seem to work. Once Austria annexed the states of the South German region, and they shook their flags on the platform, Austria could digest it in the shortest time.

"Yes, Your Majesty," Prime Minister Felix replied.

As a staunch German, he supports any decision that is conducive to the unification of Germany. Historically, it would not have been easy for the Kingdom of Prussia to unify Germany if it had not died too early.

Metternich said: "His Majesty, the Russian-Prussian conflict is about to end. At this time, the Holy Land crisis will erupt, and the Russians will certainly intervene. Maybe they will use this as an excuse to move to the Ottoman Empire.

From the information we have received, the Russian Empire is preparing for the war. Obviously, they are not ready for us to start the war in advance.

If the war is ahead, we will face a choice. Austria's national strength is too dangerous to support the two fronts. Either take the opportunity to unify the South German region, or go all out to fight for the Balkans. "

Franz frowned, and fighting on two fronts was too dangerous. This is the idea of ​​putting gold on his face.

Without the intervention of the powers, Franz in the two-line battle would not be advised. In fact, except for the Russians who have been fooled, none of the remaining powers supports Austria.

In addition, as long as the British are willing to throw money, the Kingdom of Prussia will stab Austria, and the possibility of French intervention will be as high as 9.9.

If only fighting in one direction, then Austria with concentrated strength still has a certain degree of deterrence. If you divide the two routes, it will not be scary.

Secretary of the Army Prince Wendy Schgrez proposed: "Your Majesty, I propose to expand to the Balkans as a priority. On this issue, we can also win the support of the German states and reach agreement with the Russians. The resistance is only English and French.

The Russians wanted to annex the Ottoman Empire. The first target of British and French strikes was necessarily the Russians. As soon as we see it, we accept it, and most of them will acquiesce in our expansion.

If at this time we send troops to unify the South German region, all states in the entire German region will stand on our opposite side.

Because of the geographical location, it is much easier for the French to send troops to intervene. We may face joint attacks from France, Prussia, Bavaria and other countries.

Once the strategy fails, Austria can only leave the German Federation. The Holy Roman Alliance now established will also fall apart. "

Franz, who knows history, knows that if he expands to the Balkans at this time, as long as he insists on his position, he will almost lie and win.

Even in history, Austria had the wrong team and had the opportunity to annex the two principalities of Wallachia and Moldavia, but the Vienna government was reluctant to give up the Italian region as a price.

(Remarks: Principality of Wallachia in southern Romania today; Principality of Moldavia in northeastern Romania, Moldova, and parts of Ukraine)

Prime Minister Felix hurriedly opposed: "No, Austria lacks not territory, but the number of themed nations. Even if we have begun to implement national integration, this cannot be done in the short term.

At this time, expansion into the Balkans is indeed easy to succeed. But the more we eat, the harder we want to achieve integration.

We can calculate an account. Half of Serbia has a population of 500,000 to 600,000, Bosnia and Herzegovina has a population of 500,000 to 500,000, Wallachia has a population of nearly one million, and Moldavia has a population of more than 1.4 million .

This means that Austria's population has grown by 10% at a time, and all of them are ethnic minorities. They are different from the nationalities in the country and have no sense of identity with this country.

How much effort do we need to assimilate these people? Is it twenty years or thirty years?

We can't do anything until national integration is complete.

If we merge in the region of South Germany, it will be different, and the people will have a strong sense of identity. At most, we can establish an effective rule and transform the potential into national power.

Then turn around and expand into the Balkans. It's too late.

As for risks, they are actually manageable.

The Kingdom of Prussia has an opinion, and we can support their annexation of the North German state, and everyone will share the Germans. If they disagree, they threaten their unity with the Russian-Australian alliance.

The French have opinions that we can cede all the territory west of the Rhine to them, and in the Italian region we can also make greater concessions and even support their annexation of Belgium.

The so-called contradiction in this world is nothing more than a matter of interest. As long as everyone takes what he needs, there is nothing to be solved! "

I have to say that Felix is ​​fierce enough. If this is done, it will become a collective expansion of the European powers.

At the same time, the Austrian, Austrian, Russian, and Russian expansion began. Is this a solution? Even if the remaining countries unite to resist, there is no use for it, the attitude of the British can naturally be ignored.

But why can't European politicians think about this? Why was it not implemented?

Obviously, things are not so simple, a problem of uneven distribution is no solution. The Russians took too much and everyone was dissatisfied.

In addition, the weight of the bears is too large, which has caused everyone's fear that they will continue to expand and no one will be able to carry them.

The British are making trouble again. The practicality of such a joint foreign expansion plan is greatly reduced.
