Holy Roman Empire

The flames of war in South Africa have worried the London government. At one point, it was thought that the Austrian and the French had reached a secret deal to start the German Federal Empire.

Fortunately, the worst did not happen, and Austria did not take action, otherwise they would add a new threat.

Although terrifying in the Mediterranean, Austria is not a threat to Britain. Once the German region was unified, the situation across the Atlantic changed, and the distance between the two sides was narrowed.

Of course, this threat is relative. Franz is also worried about the British threat, after all, the Royal Navy is the strongest in the contemporary era.

It didn't happen, but made Prime Minister Benjamin even more confused. He couldn't see what the Austrians wanted to do.

Don't care about France's threat? This is impossible! The Hapsburg dynasty and the French have been entangled in the European continent for hundreds of years. How can it be impossible to know the terror of the opponent?

France's annexation of Italy was not only to expand its territory, but also to establish France's dominance in the Mediterranean and continental dominance.

Does Austria have this question? If the reason is compromised, even if it is worried that it will directly benefit France from being a fisherman, then after the London government agrees to the alliance, the Vienna government should take the shot.

Benjamin asked intently: "Have you got the inside story of the Fao deal?"

The more you don't understand, the more problematic you feel. In order to figure out the insider dealings between France and Austria, the London government went to great lengths to launch the highest-level dark child.

For this reason, many spy agents lurking in France and Austria have been exposed, and the situation returned is still only broken, and analysis and inference are needed.

Foreign Minister Macleans said for a moment: "We have insufficient information in our hands and can only make a preliminary judgment.

Roughly: Austria defaulted on France annexing the Italian region in exchange for the French admitting that they unified the German region.

There may be other exchanges of interests, such as: the two countries jointly divided the Mediterranean and pushed us out; and the secret division of the African continent.

In recent years, the relationship between France and Austria has been very close. The two countries in overseas colonization and expansion seem to have agreed on each other, and basically both of them have moved to one side, with few direct conflicts.

This time the French made a surprise move and caught the Vienna government by surprise. Austria simply did not have the time to prepare. They wanted to unify the German region and avoid the Prussian kingdom.

The Vienna government should initially be prepared to use the Prussian war to weaken Prussia. They did not expect that the Russians were so disappointed that they lost the war.

If it were not for this accident, nationalists would force the defeated Prussian kingdom to join the Shinra Empire, and now it is time for Austria to unify the German region.

An accident completely failed the plan of the Vienna government. Now they may still be struggling to unify the German region by force. "

Brain supplementation is often the most terrifying, messy information that is true, false, and false, and has successfully biased the British. Macleans chose the most logical reasoning.

Everyone was relieved and seemed to accept the statement. The most terrible is always unknown, once we understand the ins and outs of things, there is a solution.

The Minister of Finance Motoli analyzed: "In recent years, the Vienna government has invested a lot of fiscal revenue in economic development and has not made military preparations.

The strength of the Prussian kingdom is not weak. With the lessons of the Russians, it is impossible for the Vienna government to take the liberty to deal with them without adequate preparation.

However, we still need to plan for the worst. Austria's advantage over Prussia is too great. Once the Vienna government is determined to start, this preparation time will not be too long. "

War is not a child's play, especially the modern war has relied heavily on logistics. A war between the two countries necessitates a series of material preparations. This requires investment of a large amount of financial and human resources, and it is impossible to keep it secret.

Judging from the flow of materials, whether a country is preparing for war is still quite reliable.

"It is really necessary to be vigilant. A large France has already been enough. It is absolutely impossible to have a unified Shinra Empire.

After so many years of development, the power gap between the two countries has not narrowed, but has further widened.

Although the Prussians won the Prussian War, these trophies still need time to digest, and they cannot be fully converted into strength in the short term.

At present, Austria's standing army has reached 580,000. If war breaks out, they can mobilize another two to three million troops in the shortest time.

More than a decade ago, Austria set a record of mobilizing more than 1.8 million troops in a month. On the mobilization mechanism, the Austrians have reached the forefront of the world.

Perhaps Austrian Africa can mobilize a million troops. And the combat effectiveness of these troops is not weak, and now a group of private nobles can fight with us in South Africa.

Although the Prussian standing army is 360,000, but it is limited by financial and human resources and the impact of the Prussian war. It is initially estimated that their current maximum mobilization is about 700,000.

The Berlin government is now increasing its reserve training. According to the plan of the Prussian General Staff, one million reserve will be trained within ten years, and their mobilization capacity is expected to exceed 1.5 million in the future.

From the beginning of the Near East War, the mode of war on the European continent has changed. The war in the future is bound to be a large corps operation, and the size of our army cannot keep up with the times. "

Talking about the Minister of the Army, Brandt, watching the great development of the European army, while the lobster soldiers were walking in place, he was looking in his eyes and anxious.

The era of the Great Corps battle has come, and many people have expected this problem. The Russian-Russian Empire, which had just ended shortly after the Russian-Russian war, was single-handed, with a total strength of more than two million.

This number was unprecedented in the past. If it were not restricted by traffic and the corruption of the Tsarist government, the Russians would have won the war by virtue of their numerical advantages.

After experiencing it once, everyone has to admit that the modern warfare can use far more troops. In the case where the quality advantage is not obvious, the human sea tactic is the simplest and effective tactic.

Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli rubbed his forehead and said, "The issue of the Army will be discussed later. Now we will discuss how to deal with this challenge first."

How does the army want to expand? The landlord's family did not have any surplus food. In order to maintain the Royal Navy, the financial resources of the London government were almost exhausted, and no one could bear another gold swallower.

The daily military expenditures of France and Austria are no less than theirs each year, and they are still above them in some years. The Royal Navy is still able to guarantee absolute superiority, naturally it is the bulk of military expenditure.

Under normal circumstances, the Royal Navy takes away 70% to 80% of its military budget, which is normal operation. Occasionally taking 90% of the budget is not unobtrusive.

If we arrive in France and Austria, the navy will be able to get half of its military budget. It will be considered as care. Most of the time, the army will take the big money.

Take Austria as an example. In the annual military budget, the army usually takes 55% to 60%, and the rest is the navy's military expenditure.

France is almost the same. Unless it is a naval arms race, it is difficult for France and Austria to exceed the navy's military spending.

In this context, the maritime supremacy of the Royal Navy has been consolidated. The Army wants to expand its forces by either increasing military expenditures or squeezing its share of the Navy.

Neither of these points is possible. The military expenditure has been greatly increased. The London government cannot afford the budget. Reducing naval military expenditure is a chronic suicide.

Once the advantages of the Royal Navy ceased, the good days of Britain were over. Whenever a little bit of decadence is revealed, European countries will swarm up and divide up their colonial empire.

Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli knew that the Army's problems could not be solved, and before Brandt continued, he simply covered the problem.

Knowing the seriousness of the matter, Foreign Minister Macleans took over the topic: "Austria is already very strong, and it is absolutely impossible for them to unify the German region.

The military pressure in the Kingdom of Prussia is too great, and it needs to face military pressure from Russia and Austria. I propose to continue to strengthen the Kingdom of Prussia and, if necessary, allow them to annex the Kingdom of Poland.

However, this time should not be too early. The Russian Empire has not yet recovered. If they had annexed Poland in advance, they would probably join forces with Austria to kill the Russian Empire first.

We need a balanced European continent. It is not a good phenomenon for such a large country to appear frequently. If this situation is not changed, the European continent will sooner or later reunify.

Therefore, Greater France must also be separated. Otherwise, when it becomes a habit for the strong and the weak to merge, it will be very troublesome. "

The result of the "unification of continental Europe" is too horrible. A unified continental Europe would really kill Britain.

John Bull's sense of crisis has always been very serious, and once a country on the European continent showed a trend of unifying the continent, they were immediately suppressed by them.

In the later stage, it has developed to the point where anyone is strong will suppress everyone. A dozen years ago, the Russian Empire bullied and coerced the European continent, and then John Bull worked hard to suppress the Russians.

Now that the Russians have gone down, France and Austria have risen again. One enemy and two are not their style. After an initial attempt, they have decisively selected the strategy of whoever comes first.

The London government had chosen Austria as the target, and plans were being made to implement it, and the French took the lead.

Not only did they take the lead, they also forced their forces out of the Mediterranean after annexing Italy.

This could not be tolerated, and the London government had to change its goals. However, the plan could not keep up with change, and Austria did not cooperate. John Niu, who did not fight, looked at the French and couldn't get started.

Prime Minister Benjamin said solemnly: "Italian revolutionary leaders Garibaldi and Mazzini have both arrived in London, hoping to get our support to restore our country.

They had met with former Sardinian royal family Vittorio Emmanuel II, and the two sides reached an agreement and decided to unite against the French rule.

In addition, some Italian nobles contacted us, hoping that we could convene an international conference to stop the French aggression.

It's just that these forces are too scattered, and even with our support, it will be difficult to shake the French rule in Italy in the short term. We need more allies to support it. "

Having said that, he set his sights on Foreign Minister McLean, hoping that he would give a satisfactory answer.

Without disappointing, Foreign Minister McLean gave the answer: "This time the European countries are standing on the opposite side of the French, but they are just a shock to the French. No one wants to offend the French too much.

Even if the Austrians did not want to see the French eat Italy so smoothly, they may not interfere on the bright side, but secretly the Vienna government did not mind creating trouble for them.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has contacted countries and everyone is willing to support the Italian independence movement and break the French ambition to dominate the European continent.

Austria is an exception. They are worried that the Italian Independence Games will spread to Lombardy and Venesia and refuse to support the Italian Revolutionary Party.

The old fox, Felix, suggested that we contact the French Revolutionary Party and encourage the French people to rise up against the colonial invasion.

By the way, he also offered to support an anti-French king of Spain, which caused chaos to the French.

In theory, these are all feasible. The only problem is to grasp this degree, otherwise the French will fall and Austria will be the largest. "

Everyone is playing Yang Mo, and they add chaos to the French. It was just that Austria was reluctant to take the lead this time and pushed everything to the British.

Knowing and knowing, things still have to be done. If Austria is a potential threat, the Greater French Empire is a real threat.

If action is not taken as quickly as possible, the Mediterranean will not have a British foothold. In the future, Britain's overseas trade to the Indian Ocean will be subject to the French.

Prime Minister Benjamin sneered and said: "First let the Austrians be proud for a few days, and they will cry in the future. Regardless of their calculations, they will first suppress the French according to the original plan.

After breaking up France, we are slowly accounting with them. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has used anti-law to cover up secret contacts with other countries and prepare for the establishment of an anti-Austrian alliance. "

The Anti-Russian Alliance, the Anti-French Alliance, and the Anti-Olympic Alliance were carefully prepared by the British for the three competitors of Russia, France and Austria.

At present, the anti-Russian alliance has succeeded, and in the recent war, the anti-Russian alliance defeated the Russians in one fell swoop and buried the European hegemony of the Russian Empire.

This is not the first time that the anti-French alliance has been changed. Only Napoleon III changed the foreign policy of the world in the Napoleonic era and chose to repair it with European countries.

Now that things have changed, the establishment of the Greater French Empire has laid the foundation for the establishment of an anti-French alliance.

If it were not for the crucial part of Austria, it is estimated that at this time the anti-French allies had flagged openly. In the face of this alliance, it was difficult for Napoleon III to compromise.

The Anti-Olympic League, which has been diving, was actually prepared by the British early. When you open the map, you will find that Poland, Prussia, and Switzerland around Austria all have anti-Austrian tendencies.

If the situation changes, it is not impossible for the Russian Empire to stand on the opposite side of Austria; if Italy succeeds in independence, this new country will naturally be a member of the anti-Austrian camp.

It can be said that as long as the Vienna government is not careful, it will fall into the trap set by the British and become isolated.
