Holy Roman Empire
Chapter 356: Force the palace
In Berlin's Royal Palace, the Junker nobles showed up to the government. They still have the brain, knowing to inform the government to cooperate before attacking Denmark.
Prime Minister Frank was so angry that he was also of Juncker aristocracy. He had to send his sword to the string before notifying him.
This is very serious. During this period, the Prussian regime has fallen into the hands of the Junker aristocracy, and the parties and parliaments controlled by the bourgeoisie have all become supporting actors.
If it is divided by the shareholding system, the Juncker aristocrat already controls 65% of the shares of Prussia, which is an absolute majority shareholder.
This happened, which meant that Frank's position within the Junker aristocracy had been shaken. This is a political signal that Junker aristocracy has reduced his support.
William I's face was also very ugly, and his king was concealed in the drum. He looked at the military representative aggressively, and he would be rude if he did not give a reasonable explanation.
The fact that there is no way for the aristocracy of Najunk does not mean that he cannot move several high-level military personnel. Moreover, is the current Junker aristocracy still a piece of iron?
The birth of the Marine and Continental factions was also credited to William I. As a monarch, no one likes to have an iron plate, and it is only an instinct to divide them.
Ron, who was staring at his scalp and was also Minister of Land and Navy, quickly explained: "Sir, look at this map of Europe. Here is where our Prussian kingdom is.
Our homeland was divided into two by the German Federal Empire, the Rhineland region in the west was threatened by the French, the Polish Poland in the east was threatened by the Russians, and the Silesia in the south was threatened by Austria. .
There is no country in the world. We are strategically worse than us. At the same time, we are threatened by the three major powers.
In this case, we have few options to break the game. If you want to annex the German Federal Empire, it will inevitably be opposed by European countries.
The French coveted the Rhineland and did not want our country to be united; the Austrians wanted to unify the German region and it was impossible for us to reach out to the German Commonwealth; the British did not want to give up this nail on the European continent, nor would they support our annexation of Germany federal.
Not to mention the Russians, they know all the ambitious people in the general Polish region, and as soon as we show their flaws, they will immediately jump on them.
To grow ourselves, our only option now is to recover Schleswig-Holstein from the Danes. If you are lucky, you can bite the Danes.
The restoration of the two principalities is of great significance to the German nation. Under the influence of national justice, Austria will not stand on our opposite side, and even diplomatically they will support our actions.
The Kingdom of Denmark is politically pro-Russian, and Britain and France will not mind our fight against the Russians, and they will even push them to let us stand on the opposite side of the Russians.
Now is the weakest time for the Russians. The reforms of Alexander II have not yet ended and the Polish uprising is encountered again. Conservatives are bound to fight back.
The Russian Empire, internally and externally troubled, even if it wanted to intervene in this war, the financial situation of the Tsarist government, they were able to provide very limited power.
Once the Russians send troops, we will not fight alone. Britain and France will definitely support us. Even Austria wants to see the Russians fail.
The odds we have now are very high. It only takes a month to capture the Kingdom of Denmark, be caught off guard by the Russians, and then negotiate the next issue. "
This is a gamble as to whether the Russians will send troops to interfere in this war. Winning the bet is of course taking back the duchy and biting a piece of meat from the Danish kingdom by the way.
After losing the bet, they went to England and France, acted as their agents, and fought the Russians with the support of the two countries.
There is no doubt that the Prussian military is not fully matched with the Russians, but the power of the country and the Russians to fight a local war is different.
The Russian Empire is strong, but the Tsarist government is poor. The reformed tsarist government is even poorer than ever.
Although the Prussian government had no money, Britain and France were rich. Since being a thug, the boss naturally paid for it.
This explanation only slightly reduced the anger of William I. It is obviously not enough to want him to expose this matter.
William I sneered and said, "Is it, my Secretary of the Army, the Secretary of the Navy, my Chief of General Staff. Since when have you been in charge of the Prussian Kingdom's internal affairs and foreign affairs?
Secretary of the Army and Navy Ron and Chief of Staff Mochi both lowered their heads and pretended to be ostriches.
It's not that they want to play first, the problem is to report in advance, this plan will not pass at all.
On the surface, the risk of gambling is within controllable limits. The most serious consequence is a partial war with the Russians. The chances of having Prussia supported by Britain and France are not low.
In fact, this is only theoretical. In the event of a problem in one of the links, the Kingdom of Prussia may soon be in danger.
For example: The Tsarist government was confused, and they died at all costs. Not to mention the support of Britain and France. Even if Britain and France go to battle in person, they will also be finished.
Should the Russians and Austria reach a compromise to divide Prussia, Prussia's enemies would soon be two.
Don't think that this possibility does not exist. The total area of the Prussian kingdom in this era was 305,000 square kilometers, and Poland was occupied by 114,100 square kilometers.
Austria did not dare to give up the territory of the Prussian German region, but the 141,100 square kilometers belonged to Poland, and the Vienna government threw it out without any pressure.
Under normal circumstances, the Tsarist government would not do this. That's because Austria's annexation of these sites will quickly grow. Without the checks and balances of the Kingdom of Prussia, the German federal empire will not last long.
Another example: the British and French bureaucratic groups responded slowly, and by the time the aid came over, it would be impossible for Prussian to be paralyzed.
Or: there was an accident against Denmark and there was no war to win in the first place. As a result, the Russians came to the door again and were forced to fight on two fronts.
...
With so many unexpected factors, any one of them is enough to make the Kingdom of Prussia complete. Prussia is dead, and nobles and capitalists in the country will not necessarily follow it. Only William I is destined to be unlucky.
As a qualified king, why take the risk? According to the current situation, isn't it good to develop step by step?
To put it plainly, the Junker aristocracy dragged the Kingdom of Prussia to the gambling table for their own interests, and was still on the table without adequate preparation.
Prime Minister Frank persuaded: "Your Majesty, this is the end of the matter, let's put the matter of accountability back! Now the most important thing is to immediately communicate with other countries and seek diplomatic support.
The recovery of Schleswig-Holstein was a common event for the entire German nation. We cannot let this pressure be borne by our family. "
Whether you like it or not, this **** must be wiped by the Prussian government. If the military is to toss, who knows what will happen in the end?
Prime Minister Frank did not dare to take this risk, and the Kingdom of Prussia could not afford the consequences of failure. If he started the operation from the beginning, he would definitely not take this risk before he could deal with Britain, France and Austria.
William I sighed and said, "No matter what you do, I immediately order the troops to stop all operations.
We need a reasonable excuse to defend German sovereignty once.
In the Paris Peace Conference, the German region was divided. The Kingdom of Prussia is no longer qualified to represent all states in the German region. This reason cannot be our excuse for war. "
Inspiring morale, defending German sovereignty can best stimulate the patriotic enthusiasm of soldiers, but this is a failure in politics.
In the first Putan war, the Prussian kingdom was forced by the Russians to give up the two principalities of Schleswig-Holstein and became notorious in the German region.
For this reason, neither Austria nor the German Federation will buy them.
Because the Paris conference split the international resolutions in the German region, and using this as an excuse for war, Britain and France would not recognize it.
Ron replied hesitantly: "Your Majesty, time is running out.
Although the plan was to launch the attack the following morning, the troops had now cut off telegraph contacts. In such a short period of time, we could not inform the troops at all.
You see, maybe you just make an excuse to make up for it, for example, to save fellow Germans oppressed by the Kingdom of Denmark. "
Obviously, the military is well prepared. Whether the Berlin government cooperates or not, the offensive will be launched on time. The time left for the government is for the next war.
Stop dreaming and stop dreaming. Everyone has been busy for so long, how can it be said that they will not fight if they do not fight?
Mao Qi, the chief of staff on the side, said nothing, and never expressed his opinion.
This plan was originally from the General Staff, and the supporting combat plan was formulated by him himself. Based on this, he did not dare to speak up, so as not to anger the king.
William I glared at Ron and said with a sneer, "Are you ready, what else do you want to tell me? If you are so capable, do it yourself!"
After that, I went out without looking back. The king was so angry that things would continue. At least the book of war must be issued, and the kingdom of Prussia cannot do it without declaring war.
Prime Minister Frank said angrily: "Since your military has decided, then you can send someone to hand over the war to the Danes!
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is very busy with work and aftercare, so don't bother them. "
If it is ordinary times, who dares to steal the work of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Foreign Minister has already erupted. Now the exception is natural. The Prime Minister will leave all the responsibilities to the military, and he will naturally not oppose it.
It ’s easy to win everything. Naturally, in the event of an accident and loss of this war, the military must resist all mines.
Mochi and Ron glanced at each other, smiling at each other. Obviously, this time the action was bad for the king and the government. In the future, they don't want to have a good life.
Whenever there is no satisfactory income for this war, the two of them will definitely get off the ground, or they will have to go to the military court.
It would have been a taboo to mobilize the army without the king's approval. Now the government has come up with another charge, and the military is running to send the war books.
It is the government's decision to win, and to lose the war. It is estimated that by then the book of war will also be forged by the military.
Debt is not overwhelming, anyway, winning all the issues of the war is written off, and losing one more war is no different from losing one.
In short, all of this is because the military broke the rules first, and naturally has to bear the corresponding responsibilities.
Mao Qi replied: "No problem. But the government must cooperate well in other areas. If the war fails because of the negative work of some departments, let's go to **** together!"
This is Prussia, a world where the army owns the country. As Chief of General Staff, Mao Qi only needs to be accountable to the king. He did not dare to make trouble before William I, and it did not matter to government officials.
The relationship is deadlocked anyway, and threats are more effective than persuasion.
Frank said on the contrary: "Let's do your own work. Don't make a mess again at that time. We don't have the time to deal with it everyday.
Now we are going to convene a government meeting, you are not involved, please two people! "
Negative idleness does not exist. Once the war fails, none of the top government officials can run away. Even if there is no responsibility, they will be implicated and step down.
