Holy Roman Empire

Time passed quickly, and it entered 1860 in a flash. The first major event of the new year was that Nicholas I went to see God.

If it happens in other European countries, this is also a small problem. It is not just another emperor, and life will go on as usual.

This is not the case with Tsarist Russia. Changing the Tsar also means that the Russian foreign policy is about to change.

As a continental hegemon, changes in the foreign policy of the Tsarist government will definitely affect the international situation, and the Vienna government must take measures to respond.

Foreign Minister Weissenberg analyzed: "According to the information we have collected, Alexander II is not as strong as Nicholas the Great, and he is better at compromised art.

Alexander II's political position was different from that of Emperor Nicholas. He advocated more thorough social reforms and opposed busy external expansion.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs judged that Alexander II might compromise with the British, stop supporting Indian rebels in exchange for compromise between Britain and Russia.

Without the support of the Russians, the Indians could not stop the British, and it would not be long before this rebellion would be suppressed.

In a maximum of two more years, the British will be able to withdraw from India. At that time, it is uncertain whether the British will return to the European continent or launch a new round of colonial expansion.

In this context, the French should accelerate their actions in the Kingdom of Sardinia.

The Paris government has successfully persuaded Belgium, the Netherlands, Switzerland and other countries to withdraw their troops from the Kingdom of Sardinia. According to the agreement, after the killer was arrested, we would also withdraw from the Kingdom of Sardinia.

As long as France and Russia reach an agreement and the Russians withdraw their troops in the Kingdom of Sardinia, the British will be overwhelmed, and the rest of the European countries will have no confidence in France.

It is not difficult to convince the Russians. The biggest problem for Alexander II's social reform was the lack of funding. As long as the French are willing to provide a loan, the Tsarist government will sell the Kingdom of Sardinia. "

Chancellor of the Exchequer Carr shook his head and said, "The London government will not stop and provide loans to the Kingdom of Sardinia. Although the previous governments have done it, the British government has provided guarantees for the loans.

The British Parliament cannot assume this debt, and capitalists are even less likely to abandon the loan, not to mention the huge interest behind the loan.

Now that the Kingdom of Sardinia is the dumping ground for their industrial and commercial products, with millions of pounds of export trade each year, they are reluctant to let go.

Once the French captured the Kingdom of Sardinia, all their privileges were gone, and the loans became a bad debt.

Now that the British have lost half of the Sardinian kingdom's market, they are almost at the limit of their endurance.

Unless the French take advantage of the British's lack of time to take care of the Kingdom of Sardinia, the sword will be chaotic, resulting in the established fact of occupation of the Kingdom of Sardinia.

Unfortunately, the Paris government could not make this determination. They were worried that the direct occupation of the Kingdom of Sardinia would cause everyone's fear and even trigger an anti-French war. "

This is a sequelae. Napoleon left a glorious era for the French, and also let the French stand under the spotlight. Any action they take on the European continent can be seen with a magnifying glass.

Napoleon III could not accurately judge the true position of each country and chose stability. The cannibalization of the Kingdom of Sardinia, on the surface, relieves the fear of all countries, but it is actually useless for eggs.

Regardless of the annexation of the Kingdom of Sardinia, the fears of all nations will not diminish. No action was taken, mainly for the benefit.

The interests are not enough. Without the leadership of a big country, how can a small country make a head bird?

Of course, this is just clear to the spectator. If Franz stood on Napoleon III's position, he would also choose stability, even more stable than him.

The Italian region has never been good. Even if it is to expand on the European continent and push the border to the Rhine, it has more potential for development than going to Italy.

Stabilizing the basic market will kill North Africa, relying on the national strength of France, the integration of Algeria, Tunisia, and Morocco into the country is not a problem at all.

The importance of the African continent has been seen by Napoleon III. After the succession, the pace of expansion was stepped up. Had it not been for the sardinian kingdom's distraction, it is estimated that the largest colonial area in Africa today is not Austria.

The Prime Minister Felix put forward different opinions: "The French have made the right choice. At the current rate of cannibalism, even if the British pull back to Europe, the French can eat half of the Sardinian kingdom.

Even if the rest of the site is insured, their meals will be served in the morning and evening. Slowly the British will find that the kingdom of Sardinia is actually worth more.

As for the losses they have suffered, they can be made up elsewhere. As long as the balance between Russia, Austria, and France is not broken, the British's continental European policy has been achieved, and there is no need to count the smaller Sardinian kingdom.

It's just that the French are ambitious. Once they have occupied the Kingdom of Sardinia, I am afraid they will still plan other parts of Italy, and our troubles will be no small by then. "

Foreign Minister Weissenberg made a shocking news: "Maybe we can make a big deal for the French and give the Italian region to them!"

Everyone's face changed greatly, France + Italy This is completely a giant.

Chancellor of the Exchequer Carl objected: "No, paying the entire Italian region can indeed be exchanged for the French's acquiescence to our unification of the German region, but there are also British and Russians.

The strength of the Prussian kingdom is not weak, and the German Federal Empire, which is barely unified, also has a lot of strength, and it is difficult for us to make a quick decision.

Unless the British and Russian families are brought together again, one operation is not good, that is, France and Austria jointly challenge the entire European continent, we have not much chance of winning. "

This proposal is indeed very tempting, but unfortunately the risk is too great.

Franz is not worried that France and Austria will fail to challenge the European continent. Now the Russians are not in a strong position, and without the main force of the bear, the odds are not low.

The problem is, this is just their wishful thinking. The French may be willing to make this deal, but Napoleon III, who loves to draw the wind, may not.

In case of being pitted, it will be necessary to be ashamed, or to spit out a lot of benefits, unless ...

Can't think about it anymore, Franz immediately stopped the fantasy. The international situation did not listen to his command. Napoleon III's ambitions had just been ignited, and he had not yet reached that point.

"Today ’s content is archived with the highest confidentiality, and everyone can bury it in their hearts.

The ever-changing international situation is beyond our control.

Unifying the German region is still our core strategy, but how to unify the German region and when to unify the German region must be cautious.

Any ideas can be put forward to discuss things that cannot be done today, maybe the opportunity will come tomorrow.

The most important thing now is development. It is not in our interest to break the international situation blindly. Compared to European countries, we have a great advantage.

Population, territory, resources, these three core elements, with the exception of the Russians, no country on the European continent can compare with us.

The longer the delay, the stronger the comprehensive national strength transformed by these advantages. Now the strength of the French is not far behind us, and the gap between the two sides will be completely opened after ten years.

It will be easier to talk about this at that time. Napoleon III will not look at us being thrown away, they want to catch up, they must expand externally. "

In this era, the news was inconvenient, and Austria's economic development data had not been made public. All countries have not noticed the development advantages brought by population and territory.

However, this cannot be kept secret for long. As you communicate more and more frequently, you will definitely notice changes in Austria.

By that time, Napoleon III will certainly not be able to do it. The French, who have not been interrupted in this era, will not tolerate being surpassed and gradually fall.

Either fight a battle to curb Austria's development; or expand abroad to increase strength.

This multiple-choice question is very easy to do, and there is also a bear with more population, territory, and resources. This is the enemy of the French continental hegemony.

It is obviously impossible to fight by force. The Russo-Austrian alliance has not yet separated, and there is no chance of victory in military operations.

Even if Napoleon III did not want to expand, fanatical nationalism would force them into battle. Either externally or internally.

By that time, the French government will have little choice. Temptingly, the possibility of a deal between the two parties is very high.

Chancellor of the Exchequer Carl reminded: "His Majesty, the growth of the French is a great threat to us. At that time, even if we unified the German region, we will be trapped in the center of France and Russia, and strategically very passive.

Foreign Minister Weissenberg explained: "On the contrary, when Russia, France and Austria formed a three-legged division of the European continent, we were very safe.

As long as the British do not abandon the European balance policy, we need not worry about being isolated. The annexation of France in Italy, but not France today.

Similarly, the annexation of the Russian Empire in Northern Europe is not the current Russian Empire.

The juxtaposition of three huge empires is actually the most stable, and war will break out only if there is a problem in one of the homes and this balance is broken.

As long as it is not that we have the problem first, then the danger is still under control. From the current situation, we are stable in the three countries.

The Russians are still reforming, and the success or failure is unpredictable. If reforms fail, the Russian empire may collapse someday in the future.

Napoleon III's position was improper, and many people in the country disobeyed his rule. If Italy is annexed, the crisis will only intensify. "

I have to admit that Weissenberg's strategic vision is still very good, just a little too radical.

This is not a big problem. The cabinet cannot be all prudent. Franz is also ambitious.

Weissenberg is only 35 years old and can stand out from many competitors. In addition to Metternich's strong recommendation, it is Superman's strategic vision. This is also the most important prerequisite for serving as Foreign Minister.

The Prime Minister Felix asked: "Since the hidden dangers of annexing Italy are so great, how can we guarantee that Napoleon III will be fooled?"

Foreign Minister Weissenberg explained: "The Prime Minister, Napoleon III, has been fooled since the annexation of the Kingdom of Sardinia.

During the Osa War, the capitalists and nobles who supported the Sardinian government suffered heavy losses, and the foundation of the Sardinian government's rule has long been passive.

Huge debts were carried on the back, and now the French have adopted political **** as the mainstay, supplemented by military threats.

The influence of the Napoleon family in Italy is not weak. Many Italians are proud of Napoleon. I have reason to believe that the local power in the Kingdom of Sardinia will rely on the French.

With the cooperation of these people, the French rule in the local area can soon be established.

But calm is only temporary. It is impossible for the French to win over everyone, and they must also suppress some of those in power and cultivate trust to take power.

These people will not be willing to fail, forced by the French menace, they dare not do anything in the short term.

All we need is the short-term calm of the Kingdom of Sardinia, which can create an illusion of destiny for Napoleon III.

We can also control some media, sing praises to him, and deepen his awareness.

Once Napoleon III thought that the Italians would support his rule, the ambition to annex the Italian region could not be suppressed.

However, Italian nationalism has been awakened. Once the French army is reduced or withdrawn, those unwilling to fail in political struggles will definitely jump out.

For example: to encourage patriotic youth to rise up against French rule, to fund revolutionaries and so on.

Rebellions are contagious. The Italian region is chaotic and France will not be stable. Without decades of self-cultivation, the French could not digest the Italian region.

If done well, the French Empire itself will collapse.

Of course, if this is to be done, the ambitions of the French will be further stimulated, and only by allowing them to annex more land will they be killed. "

Franz was pleased that the Vienna government finally has a strategic visionary ambition! Despite these operations, they are somewhat idealized.

But life is nonsense. If you can't even think about it, how can you succeed?
