Holy Roman Empire

On October 23, 1850, the German Federal Parliament was held in Frankfurt. After Austria proposed a common cabinet for all states, it quickly gained everyone's support at the conference.

The only role of the support of the small states is probably to give Austria a boost. In fact, the final decision is still in the hands of the big states.

Prussia and Bavaria naturally resolutely opposed it. Everyone formed a cabinet together, and each country sent a representative. Such a stubborn idea that they could agree was no wonder.

Austria is the boss of the German state. Once this cabinet is formed, the Prime Minister is naturally the representative of Austria. There is no doubt at all.

Just think about it, it is natural that the cabinet of more than 30 people will quarrel when encountering things, and the final decision is naturally the Prime Minister.

Under such a system, the right of speech in Bavaria and Prussia will naturally be suppressed to the lowest point, which is not much different from other small states.

In a short period of time, they still have influence on other state powers. After a long time, the small state powers will not buy it. Anyway, under the federal system, everyone has the same rights and has the ability to bite me?

After attracting small states, Austria can naturally start to unify, such as unified federal currency, unified federal army, unified federal finances ...

Don't worry, slowly boil the frog in warm water. After one hundred and eighty years, the German Federation really became unified.

These are ideals. The reality is that after Prussia and Bavaria objected, Britain, France, and Russia also ran out of opposition.

To sum up, it is a sentence. The German region cannot be unified, even if it is nominally unified.

The British even proposed to dissolve the German Federal Parliament and allow Bavaria and the small German states to merge to form a new country. Austria and Prussia naturally broke.

This proposal is supported by the Kingdom of Bavaria, and France and Russia have no opinion. However, there was fierce opposition from the representatives of Prussia and Austria.

Just as the enemy, under the proposal of John Bull, Puao united in an instant. Once again, it proves that there is only eternal interest and no eternal enemy between nations.

Seeing that the scene was swept up by the British, the purpose has been achieved. Of course, the Austrian representative will no longer propose an emperor to stimulate the Prussians.

The British's purpose was also achieved, and the seeds of division were successfully planted. All three countries in Opba have contradictions, and the support of the great powers has undoubtedly stimulated Bavaria's ambitions, waiting to take root.

If the strength of the Bavarian Kingdom is further increased by two or three times, with the support of the powers, it may not be true that Germany will be three-pointed.

After all, the law of triangles is the most stable. As long as the weak and the strong are resisted, under the intervention of other European countries, both Prussia and Austria will lose the opportunity to unify Germany.

Unfortunately, apart from the ambitions of Maximilian I, neither Bavarian power nor the political arm of the ruler was anything short of a star.

In the case of the Bavarian Kingdom's inferior strength, in order to compete with Puao, it is necessary to attract other small states.

Theoretically, the small states in the German region all add up to a population of nearly 17 million, and their overall strength is almost the same as that of the Kingdom of Prussia.

This time Bavaria ran over and joined forces with the Kingdom of Prussia to propose the establishment of "three domestic cabinets", which undoubtedly harmed the interests of these small states.

In this context, Bavaria's leadership in small states was shaken. In the interests of nothingness and loss of his foundation, Franz involuntarily reduced the threat of Bavaria by two grades.

Schönbrunn Palace Vienna

The Ministry of War has proposed to the Austrian government to expand the reserve. The Austrian Empire now has more than half a million reserve forces in addition to more than 300,000 active forces.

In theory, after the outbreak of the war, the Austrian government could mobilize another 500,000 troops in a month.

In fact, the Austrian government's mobilization mechanism was proved to be unqualified in 1848, and it took the same time to mobilize more than 200,000 troops.

Of course, this was also related to the inefficiency of the Austrian government at the time, and now this speed should be greatly increased.

The mobilization of the reserve service is not only a matter of convening people, but also requires some training to restore combat effectiveness. Weapons, equipment and ammunition reserves are also an indispensable part.

Prince Wendy Schgrez analyzed: "In order to ensure the defense security of the Austrian Empire, the mobilization mechanism can no longer meet the actual needs.

Since the February Revolution in Paris, the French have shaken off the shackles of the Vienna system, and military strength is rapidly recovering in the past two years.

Once the French government's internal struggle is divided, will it provoke a new round of external expansion? Where is the expansion direction?

No one knows this issue, and we must be prepared to meet the challenges ahead.

The Prussian kingdom next door is not at peace anymore these years. Is their military expenditure less than 40%?

Such high military expenditures cannot be without purpose. In recent decades, the Kingdom of Prussia has expanded its territory several times, and now they want to unify the German region.

Whether delusional or not, we must dispel their attempts.

And our ally, the Russian Empire, I know it ’s immoral to suspect that allies are here, but the Russians are really too powerful.

If one day we have a conflict of interest, the Austrian Empire ca n’t even fight it, right?

In the future international change, to ensure the defense security of the Austrian Empire, our military strength must be improved.

Considering the financial affordability, it is too difficult to continue to expand the number of active duty forces. We believe that while reorganizing the mobilization mechanism, it is a reasonable figure to increase the number of reserve forces to two million. "

"French Threat Theory", "Prussian Threat Theory", and "Russian Threat Theory" have thrown out three major threats in a row. Obviously, Prince Wendy Schgrez did his homework.

Finance Minister Carl said with a smile: "I want to fully support the War Department's increase of two million reserves, as long as it does not increase military expenditures."

How is this possible without increasing military spending? Even if the reserve is much cheaper than the active force, but simple military training must be carried out every year?

Austria's reserve, like most countries, consists of retired officers and men. It is also easy to increase this number, either by expanding the number of years in reserve or shortening the service time of active soldiers.

It is theoretically not difficult to increase the number of reserves to two million, in addition to the need for money.

Now God of Wealth doesn't give money, so isn't this plan nonsense? This funding gap is not a few million, which can be filled by the East and West of the Army, but tens of millions.

Prince Wendy Schgrez said helplessly: "Mr. Carl, don't make a joke. Two million reserve, so many people have regular training every year. If your Ministry of Finance does not give money, would you want me to go out for dinner?"

There is no doubt that at this time the military launched a proposal to expand the number of reserves, mainly to compete for the next fiscal budget.

The influx of a large amount of foreign capital has brought about a sense of prosperity in Austria in 1850. Plants have sprung up, and even if many companies are tax-free, they have also brought a lot of taxes to the government.

This is not contradictory. The tax exemption of some companies does not mean that their upstream raw material supply is also exempt from the same as the downstream sales channels.

Although the concept of the industrial chain has not yet gained popular support, it has indeed emerged. The benefits created by a factory are definitely not limited to the factory itself.

In addition to driving the upstream and downstream direct industrial chains, it also promotes the development of surrounding supporting industries such as catering, clothing, and non-staple food.

Regardless of whether the capitalists' investments are rational or not, it is an indisputable fact that the rapid growth of the Austrian economy has been promoted.

The rapid economic growth means the rapid growth of fiscal revenue. The government can only come out to grab the budget if the government has the money. The War Department is just a bit too appetite.

Chancellor of the Exchequer Carl was unmoved: "It is impossible to expand the reserve to two million in one step, right?

According to the current situation, even if we increase the reserve by 200,000 each year and reduce the number of over-age personnel, the final completion is only ten years later.

Your "big reserve strategy" budget can actually cut off the next zero, and you can squeeze out a few million shields by yourself. "

Sure enough, it is not a fuel-efficient lamp. No matter how Prince Wendy Schgrez covered up, this weakness was exposed.

Prince Wendy Schgrez explained: "The words cannot be said. The international situation is complex. Once the Russians break the situation, we must take action to increase our military strength as much as possible. This is the most effective way to guarantee the security of the Austrian Empire s method.

There are many ways to increase the number of reserve forces. It is not necessary to wait for soldiers to retire after conversion. We can definitely organize young people for simple military training.

After the outbreak of the war, it only takes one or two months for them to become qualified soldiers, much faster than simply recruiting new recruits and training from scratch. "

Karl thought for a while and said, "This method is good, but it costs too much. Even if the Russians start, the war will not end in a short time, and the Ottoman Empire is not paperless.

According to past experience, the shortest time is two or three years. If the delay is long, ten or eight years is not impossible.

Then use it again, rest assured that once the international situation changes, the government's focus will turn to the military, and there is no problem in how you want to expand. "

Franz encountered this kind of thing a lot, basically appearing every year before the budget, almost every time Carl is fighting against each other.

"Well, there is still time for the annual budget of the fiscal issue, and you slowly discuss it. Let's discuss whether the War Department has proposed a reserve plan. Is it feasible?"

Prime Minister Felix replied: "Your Majesty, the establishment of a large base reserve is indeed very important to our national defense security.

Especially in our next strategy, being able to mobilize a huge army in the shortest time can reduce the risk to the minimum. "

Franz knows that everyone is ready to learn the Russian sea tactics. Now is the era of volleyball, and there are indeed many people on the battlefield that dominate.

In terms of population, Austria and France are almost the same. Except for the abnormality of the bear, there are many people fighting on the European continent.

"stand by!"

"stand by!"

...

Everyone quickly reached an agreement on this issue, and the truth about the strength of many people was once again proven to be feasible in practice.

Franz asked seriously: "So how do my army secretary, such a huge army, guarantee their combat effectiveness?"

Cannot be used as cannon fodder because there are too many soldiers. Austria is not a bear, and soldiers are also required to receive pensions after they die.

Franz doesn't think it is useful to talk to soldiers about patriotic enthusiasm, rather than draw so many high-level theories.

It's better to tell them directly that they can get land, money, loot, knighthood ... these visible things are more reliable.

Prince Windisch Graz replied: "His Majesty, the most important part of guaranteeing the combat effectiveness of the army is the officer. Our Ministry of the Army intends to expand the number of officers and assign two deputies to the officers of the frontline troops.

During the war, the army can be expanded to one million in the shortest time, so as to gain an advantage at the beginning of the war. "

Franz nodded. From the current international situation, as long as the reckless wave from the beginning of the war succeeds, the war will end.

The Kingdom of Prussia has limited national strength and can only engage in a wave. After a short period of failure, it will simply be unable to come again; as long as the French lose a lot on the battlefield, the French will help kill the government.

As long as the brain is not enough to attack the French mainland, the new French government will fall into a continuous internal fighting, and when their internal fighting ends, daylily will be cold.
