Holy Roman Empire

Munich

Since learning of Felix's Deutsche Journey and placing his last stop in the Kingdom of Bavaria, Maximilian I has not slept well.

The previous state can play Tai Chi and delay time. As the last state, what can they do?

There is no doubt that all states hope that Bavaria can stand up and stop Austria's actions. As the leader of the small states, Bavaria cannot escape.

Especially after Maxime I took office, the three-legged strategy pursued by Bavaria pushed Bavaria to the corner.

The relationship between the Kingdom of Prussia and everyone was estranged. Frederick William IV pretended to be confused and without pressure, and he was not afraid to offend anyway.

Bavaria is different. Since we want to be the leading brothers of the small states, we must now take the lead. Whether it is to support Austria's plan or oppose Austria, it is better than pretending to be an ostrich.

Maximilian I said cautiously, "Dear Felix, it won't be long before we arrive in Munich. There is not much time left for us. Today we have to make a choice."

This was the price that had to be paid for diplomatic mistakes before. The Prussians had flickered before, throwing out a three-point German strategy, which had offended many small states.

At this time, the Bavarian government either turned to Austria and set up the Holy Roman Group together as one of the minority shareholders.

Either, stop Austria's plan and voice the hearts of many German states to regain their support. Anyway, what maintains state relations is interest. As long as the interests are consistent, everyone is a friend.

Bavarian Prime Minister Auguste analyzed: "His Majesty, the plan to stop the Austrians is easy, but the consequences are very serious.

First of all, we will offend Austria fiercely, and then it will be difficult to restore the friendly relations between the two countries. Second, the domestic people have a difficult time, and now most people want the peaceful reunification of the German region.

Although we all know that the German region cannot be truly unified, as people who close the door in person, we will certainly be condemned by public opinion. "

Auguste was aware of the danger, and after the dissolution of the Holy Roman Empire, the Austrians created the German Federal Parliament in order to prevent the French invasion.

Unexpectedly, the French had settled down for decades, and Austria's efforts were futile. Now that the French are armed, Bavaria's western front is no longer safe enough.

At this time, we do not have a good relationship with the Austrians in the east. Maybe when the disaster will come, who will let Maximi I faint after the succession?

The ambition needs strength to support. The three-legged standing in the German region is what Britain, France and Russia expect most. International support is not lacking. Unfortunately, the Kingdom of Bavaria has limited strength and cannot implement the plan.

Theoretically, the Kingdom of Bavaria is twice as powerful, and with the support of the powers, it is almost possible to work hard.

Now Maximilian I is working too early, and lacks his own strength. After losing the support of many small states, their right to speak in the Federation has become dispensable.

Chancellor of the Exchequer Bazel objected: "Prime Minister, these pressures can resist the past. Once the conditions of Austria are accepted, the Holy Roman Empire is resurrected.

This time is different from the past. Now nationalism has been awakened. The central government is no longer an optional rubber stamp. They can use public opinion to oppress us.

Austria is originally the largest state in the German region. Whether it is population, territory, or even economy, they are almost the same as all of our states.

They got the right of the central government, and when there was righteousness in hand, we had to give in.

Maybe at the beginning, it is just a unified currency and abolition of tariffs, it seems that we do not have to pay much.

But after a long time, you will find that the army's command power, financial power, and diplomatic power will fall into the hands of the central government. We are at most a highly autonomous government. "

This will happen sooner or later, and any central government will find a way to collect power.

Many German states are not monolithic, such as those free cities, they do not mind becoming a highly autonomous region, which is a good thing for capitalists.

Most small states can also make concessions much larger. In their opinion, they are a chicken right, which is indeed a tangible benefit for large states.

In this respect, the loss of the royal family is the largest. There is an emperor above, and it is no longer paramount. If certain policies are not welcomed by the people, they can go to the central government to complain.

Between the internal and external attacks, it will not be long before the royal family's power is left. Even the cabinet government will slowly degenerate into a provincial government, and its power will decline significantly.

Therefore, the bureaucratic blocs of the states are firmly opposed.

Prime Minister Auguste shook his head and said, "Mr. Bazel, I think you have misunderstood. I just object to standing out against Austria, not to say that we will support them.

Do not want to see so many people reappear in the Holy Roman Empire, do we have to jump out and pull hatred? Why do we all get it together?

Our current position should be consistent with that of most states. If no one is against the Austrian plan, we are not against it.

All state governments will be dragged down, either everyone will oppose the reconstruction of the Holy Roman Empire, or everyone will return to the era of the Empire. "

"The Prime Minister, I am afraid it is not so easy. Now all the German states want us to take the lead, and even the three countries of Britain, France, and Russia want us to stand up against it.

It is impossible to confuse fear, at least in diplomacy we cannot explain it. Barkhouse, Foreign Secretary

Simply put, even if Bavaria wants to flinch, many bosses are forcing them to rush forward. Regarding the opinions of the powers as toilet paper, the Bavarian government is not so bullish.

Maximilian frowned. Why did the Austrians make things happen, and everyone put pressure on them, not just bullying the persimmon.

The Prussian kingdom did not want to get ahead, and pushed the Kingdom of Bavaria forward; Britain and France could not scare Austria, nor could it influence the decision of the Prussian government, and they arrested them.

The Russians pushed them out to oppose it simply to trouble Austria and delay the reunification of allies.

All these factors put the Bavarian government at the forefront. In the face of diplomatic pressure, even the fiercely opposed Prime Minister Auguste had to admit it.

With the support of the great powers, the Kingdom of Bavaria can maintain its status in the Federation. In essence, they are only a small country with comprehensive national strength and Belgium.

But a small country is a small country with a small population and a lack of people, and has to rely on the big country to survive.

This is why Maximilian I wanted to integrate many small German states. Only by bringing these small states together can they be a middle country and have the ability to independence.

As long as the middle countries have developed well, it will be a small power, just like the Kingdom of Prussia now, with the power of the middle countries, it has crossed the threshold of the powers.

In order to do this, Bavaria must first receive the support of the great powers. Without Britain, France, and Russia to suppress Austria and Prussia, where does Bavaria have the opportunity to integrate many small German states?

At the time of the big collision, Maximilian I also proposed a small German plan with Bavaria as the core. Unfortunately, even the Bavarian people lacked interest.

The reason is very simple-it is too small and does not meet everyone's "big country dream" expectations.

As long as it is a nation that has been spread over ancestors and has a great country dream, how can the German people not have it? Since it is a big country dream, it must be large enough, which is why Austria is now popular.

The new version of the Holy Roman Empire is really big enough. Once it is established, it will exceed 1.1 million square kilometers. It will surpass the next door neighbor, the French, in every respect.

The contradiction between Germany and France was the result of hundreds of years of death between the Habsburg dynasty and the French. The Franco-Prussian war in history is just a continuation of this contradiction.

Beyond the French, it also contains the special feelings of the Germans. This is why, after the Franco-Prussian War, Prussia could integrate the loose German states.

Everyone's vanity was satisfied, national pride appeared, and a sense of national identity also rose, and then Germany changed from a regional noun to a country.

Maximi I sneered and said, "Since everyone wants Bavaria and Austria as enemies, we can only go on.

This is also an opportunity. As long as we stand up against Austria, we can get the support of the great powers, and then the integration of the states in the German region is no longer a dream.

Britain, France and Russia do not want to see the emergence of a giant German empire. Our plan is in their interests, and with their support, the possibility of ultimate success is very high. "

His arms were not over his thighs, and Maximi I pinched his nose to recognize it. He was still thinking about a better future, but he didn't know that he had set foot on the road of no return.
