Holy Roman Empire

It is very unreliable to expect the African people to fight the British aggressors. If they had such a strong fighting force, the colonial era would have ended long ago.

However, the pit has to be dug, no matter how effective it is, at least it can delay the expansion of the British.

There is a limit to the expansion of any country, and the British Empire as the world's first colonial empire is no exception.

The population is a flaw, and the British Isles add up to 30 million people. Ranked last among the four major European powers, with the completion of the industrialization of France and Austria, everyone's strength comparison is undergoing amazing changes.

There is no need to wait until the twentieth century. Now that the local economy is total, the British have become the third in Europe and the fifth in the world.

Of course, they are still the world's number one industrial power. In this era of agriculture, agriculture still occupies a very important proportion, so that the British rank behind India.

It's no surprise that more people are not necessarily powerful, at least the total economic volume is large.

Regrettably, the total economic volume does not equal national strength. It is industry that determines the strength of a country. The British Empire is still the most powerful country in the world.

However, they lost money in the expansion. The British population was less than two-thirds of France (including Sardinia) and less than half of Austria (including Balkans). Among them are millions of Irish who have left Germany, thinking of independence every day.

Insufficient population, but the British have a large colony. On average, every British has more than 1 square kilometer of colony.

It is not hard to understand that after the Near East War, the London government began to avoid the European War.

It is not easy to maintain this colonial empire. Thousands of colonists fall every year. If they fight a few more battles, the British will not be able to sustain it.

This is the opportunity in the eyes of Franz, to trouble the British in the colony, which is inconspicuous on the surface, but actually accumulates less and slowly consumes their manpower.

This Ethiopian war is a good opportunity. As long as it can bring tens of thousands of casualties to the British, Franz will be content.

Winning the British is non-existent. The British Army is not the Italian Army. Such a century-old joke cannot be made.

...

On the way of the British troops killing Ethiopia, the London Peace Conference has changed, and the Russians' diplomatic methods are really dare not compliment.

Sweden did support them, but not because of the Russians, but mainly because the Kingdom of Denmark played a role.

Help the relatives, but the Kingdom of Denmark is about to form a member of the Nordic Federation. Sweden, the old nature, has to take care of their emotions.

From now on, the Kingdom of Prussia has added another enemy, the forthcoming Nordic Federation.

Of course, this enemy threat is very small, the Danes cannot occupy the leading position of the new government, at most it is hostility, and it is not enough to trigger war.

The German Federal Empire did feel the threat of Prussia. However, it was useless. The Russians did not get their support. In the end, they chose to be neutral.

Needless to say, the rest of the country is called Neutral Switzerland: they are eternally neutral and do not require public relations. The remaining countries are Prussian supporters.

I almost forgot that the Principality of Montenegro and Greece also supported the Russians. The former has always been supported by the Russians, and the latter is only for the thighs.

Prussia is far away, and it doesn't matter if you offend. The Russians were close at hand, and the Greeks could not afford to offend.

From the perspective of supporting countries, the Russians are not only inferior in quantity, they are also incomparable in weight.

In order to keep the Russians from losing too badly, Weissenberg had to bite the bullet and propose to reduce the number of negotiators.

Except for the three mediators of Britain, France, and Austria, only the participating countries were present, and the remaining country representatives became auditoriums.

Fortunately, the Russian representative Clarence-Ivanov was smart enough to send the four Central Asian countries and the Eastern Empire successively and signed a truce.

The Russians were still standing still. After meeting their own interests and needs, these countries resolutely chose silence. As for the Prussian allies, sorry, they have never formed an alliance, and naturally there is no obligation of allies.

Seeing that the momentum was wrong, the Ottoman Empire also flinched. The Russians gave up the territories they had claimed in the Caucasus in the last war and backed off a bit, and the two countries ended the war. (Remarks: Georgia today)

By July, Prussia and Poland were left. Compared with the concessions in other regions, in the Eastern Europe, the Tsarist government has a very different attitude.

First of all, regarding the definition of the Polish region, the Tsarist government did not approve it. The surrender of Lithuanian regions and parts of Belarus was their limit.

However, the Prussians still wanted Latvia and did not make a request to Estonia. It was too close to St. Petersburg, and the Berlin government was afraid that it would stimulate the Russians.

The representative of Popo also imposed territorial claims on the entire Belarus region. Obviously, they have reached an agreement to divide up the region.

The representative of Poland also made territorial claims on the Ukraine region, mainly from the Waren region to the Kiev region. Without parts of Lviv, Western Ukraine was the domain of Austria in this era.

If these conditions are agreed, it will mean that the Russian Empire will lose 860,000 square kilometers of land, more than 21 million people, and 30% of industry.

At the same time, the Russian Empire will lose its demographic advantage over Austria. After all, Central Asia has become independent, and the Far East and the Caucasus have abandoned a lot of land.

With less land, the population naturally decreases. Fortunately, these regions are all vast and sparsely populated. Except for Central Asia's population of five to six million, the other two regions have only 1.8 million.

Eastern Europe is different, this is the core area of ​​the Russian Empire. Any piece of territory is precious, and the Tsarist government will naturally not give up easily.

The meeting was deadlocked again, and representatives from the three countries, Britain, France and Austria held a secret meeting. There is nothing to be ashamed of, and the weakening of the Russians is something the Three Kingdoms would like to see.

After all, the Russian Empire is too large. Once industrialization is completed, everyone's interests will be lost.

At the same time, France and Austria do not want to see the Kingdom of Prussia become larger. At this point, the attitudes of Britain and France are exactly the opposite. They want Prussia to add a block to France and Austria.

The French wanted to support Poland, while Austria held the opposite.

On the side of the couch, do you tolerate others.

In order to curb the rise of Poland, Austria did not hesitate to support Prussia's access to Lithuania and block the estuary of the Poles.

This is also creating contradictions. The problem of the estuary cannot be resolved, and the relationship between Pubo will break sooner or later.

Of course, they can also perform land exchange. Obviously, this is even more impossible. Poles can't always swap out the Warsaw area in order to go to the sea?

The Kingdom of Prussia was not fortunate enough to fight hard, and the last benefit was not gained. Geography determines their expansion into Lithuania and is their only option.

Contradictions between Britain, France, Austria and Austria have further complicated negotiations.

In the summer, the smell of gunpowder in Eastern Europe is strong again. If it is not possible, the war will continue to erupt.

Do not look at the Prussians dominate the battlefield, but they have no money! Once the war broke out, it was still the British who paid for it.

The London government is not the worst, they are always calculating costs. Now the goal of suppressing Russia is also completed. If they continue to kill Russia, they will not get much benefit.

Don't look at Russia and Austria as allies. Allies are also dangerous when they are weak. In the event that the Prussians are lucky, and once again win the General Assembly, the Tsarist government will collapse. Who knows if Austria will fall to the ground?

Spend your own money and help competitors to pick up cheap things. The savvy British won't do it.

Moreover, they have lent a lot of money to Prussia and Poland, their debts continue to increase, and the possibility of becoming bad debts in the future is also increasing.

To end this war, the three countries, Britain, France, and Austria, must first reach an agreement, otherwise everyone will stab each other and stir up the flames inside, and a bad war will ignite again.

In the face of the pound, Raistlin must also convince France and Austria to join forces to put pressure on them to end the war.

Not only are the British worried, but France and Austria are also worried. Everyone is a creditor, except that Britain and France mainly borrowed money from the two countries, while Austria lent it to Russia.

At present, the British have borrowed the most, with a total amount of up to 320 million pounds; Austria is behind, and the total debt has reached 240 million pounds; the French have the least, which is also 120 million pounds.

Whether you admit it or not, this war is actually a capital game. There is no doubt that the black hands behind the scenes are winners, and everyone is working together to trade.

Even if all these debts die, everyone can still recover the costs from other places. Of course, no one wants to do that.

Why do loans that can be recovered become dead debts?

Don't look at the collateral of a few debtor countries. If something goes wrong, these collaterals may not be able to be cashed.

Take Poland as an example. In case the Polish government is finished, who will the British and French ask for money?

In contrast, Austria has an advantage. The distance is close, it is really impossible, you can cut a piece of land back to make up for the loss.

The French can also pay attention to the Rhineland region. Anyway, debt repayment is a reasonable excuse.

The British were miserable. Even if others dare to mow the land, the question is whether they dare?

Various taxes, minerals, and right-of-way mortgages, if they are to fulfill the prerequisites, they must ensure the stability of the debtor's political power.

This means that after the war, they continued to lend money to the two countries. Otherwise, the two poor ghost governments either declared bankruptcy or broke down because of a financial crisis.

Of course, the risk is proportional to the profit. In this war, the British made money.

Not only won the position of world supremacy, but also added a few younger brothers to ensure the security of India and complete the strategic layout of Eurasia.
