At the same time, it became a backboiler, and the Russian-Austrian League could also be called backboiler. But there is also a difference between Beiguoxia and Beiguoxia.

Austria is willing to jump out of it.

French Ministry of Foreign Affairs: Austria spread rumors, smeared France's national image, and claimed economic losses.

Austrian Ministry of Foreign Affairs: Nothing, we just stated the facts to let the European people know the truth.

...

The tsarist government is different, this is entirely people sitting at home, the pot from heaven.

The government of Vienna bears the blame, it is your love and I would like to get what you need. The quarrel between the two countries is more like a political game.

The pot thrown by the British is different. Sending troops to attack the British troops in Afghanistan is no different than declaring war.

Although he was not afraid of fighting against the British, the Russians were naturally reluctant to bear the black pot for the enemy without any gain.

Foreign Minister Oscar Jimenez: "Your Majesty, things have been made clear. After the British army occupied the Afghan region, it was met with fierce resistance from the locals and the troops suffered heavy losses.

The British government slanders our British troops to attack the Afghan region in order to not bear the heavy responsibility of the front line and give the domestic people an explanation. "

What does it mean for Britain and Russia to go to war?

Opening the map shows that this is not a big deal at all. Except for the possible outbreak of war in Central Asia, it is out of reach of both parties in other regions.

In theory, the Royal Navy can indeed block the coastline of the Russian Empire, which is simply impossible in actual operation.

The Russian shipbuilding industry is underdeveloped, and domestic ocean shipping companies are rare. The shipping business of overseas trade is mostly undertaken by international shipping companies.

Including the British shipping companies, they have taken a big cake from it. The Royal Navy is embargoing, can't it even detain its own boat?

To put it bluntly, the main estuaries of the Russians are concentrated in the Baltic Sea and the Black Sea. Even if the Royal Navy blocked the door, everyone can still pretend to be trading with the Nordic Federation and Austria.

There is no satellite monitoring this year. Who knows the real starting point and ending point of these ships. Arbitrarily arresting the ship is to cause international disputes.

Hearing this answer, Army Secretary Ivanov said angrily: "Your Majesty, the British continue to challenge the empire's bottom line, and now they can't bear it anymore.

We must use the strongest means to give them a strong response. Let the whole world know that the great Russian Empire is not easy to mess with! "

"Toughness" is not without reason. In fact, after Marshal Ivanov served as the Minister of the Army, the Russian military was relatively conservative.

If it was n’t for the British government ’s dishonest behavior that exposed the weakness of the British army ’s low combat effectiveness, Marshal Ivanov will definitely not jump out of the main battle now.

Alexander III hesitated, and the tsar who dared not fight was not a qualified tsar.

To love peace, that is just a need for interests. Now that the British have exposed their weaknesses, it would be totally unreasonable not to take advantage of it!

But are the British really so weak?

Alexander III expressed deep suspicion that he knew very well that the Indian Colonial Army did not represent the true fighting power of the British army.

Most of the troops attacking Afghanistan this time were the Indian Colonial Army, and the main force transferred from the mainland was less than one-fifth of the total number.

Seeing that Alexander III was vacillating, Ivanov continued to swim and said, "Your Majesty, the British have long been strong outsiders.

Over the years, no progress has been made at all. The fighting power of the British army is probably not as good as that of the first Near East War.

The Afghan war is a proof, and the earlier South African war is also a proof.

At that time, the British were the main force. As a result, even the temporarily entangled gang of militia in Austria did not win. The British combat power can be imagined.

Now is the best opportunity. The three Khanates in Central Asia have been maimed and we will be in Afghanistan soon.

Although the British preemptively occupied the Afghan region, their local foundations were unstable and there were guerrilla disturbances.

We can take advantage of this and take the Afghan region to lay the foundation for going south to India. "

Weak meat and strong food are the essence of this era. The original goal of the tsarist government was to capture Central Asia.

As for the Afghan region, since falling into the hands of the British, the military no longer has expectations and is ready to wait for the next opportunity.

However, the plan did not change quickly, and it was found that the British troops occupying the Afghan area were weak chickens, and even the Afghan guerrillas could not figure it out. Marshal Ivanov immediately changed his mind.

"God will not be taken, it will be condemned."

Missing such an opportunity is simply a crime. As the leader of the military, this kind of soft persimmons sent to the door are rejected. Are they going to find hard bones to eat?

Foreign Minister Oscar Jimenez added: "We had a secret contact with the French not long ago, and the Paris government does not object to our entry into the Indian Ocean.

If you turn your face with the British at this time, the French will not send troops to interfere, and Austria will support us.

Diplomatic obstacles have been completely cleared. The remaining issues are military. As long as the military is confident of winning, the strategy of going south can be implemented. "

Upon hearing the news, Alexander III was shocked: "The French have sold their teammates so quickly?"

Immediately afterwards, it seemed that the French government did not want to sell teammates, and now it can't help the British.

For the issue of China and Europe, France and Austria are in trouble. At this time, sent troops to help the British fight, didn't they provide opportunities for Austria?

"Is there any financial problem?"

In accordance with established practice, the Ministry of Finance must routinely oppose almost every war.

This is not because the Chancellor of the Treasury has no big picture, mainly because the tsarist government is poor and does not vaccinate in advance. What if the war is halfway without money?

No one wants to be blamed, so the Russian Finance Minister has always been the leader of the anti-war faction. As long as the financial difficulties are mentioned in advance and half of the battles have no money, it is not a problem for the Ministry of Finance.

Every time the Ministry of Finance objected, it was easy to run into one that did not object, and it was no surprise that Alexander III was surprised.

The Chancellor of the Exchequer, Alisher Gulov, replied with a smile: "It is indeed a bit financially difficult, but with the efforts of all my colleagues, we have already raised a war fund.

Just a month ago, we signed a loan contract of 50 million Aegis with the Austrian National Bank; in addition, we also reached an agreement with the French consortium to use industrial raw materials as a guarantee and issue bonds of 270 million francs.

As long as our total strength is within 500,000, and the duration of the war does not exceed one year, the finances will be able to sustain it. "

(1 pound = 2 Aegis = 25 francs)

In fact, it is not just the military who wants to go south to seize India. The Ministry of Finance's desire for India is not inferior.

Because of the sale of loot after the Third Near East War and the help of Austrian resettlement to obtain a large amount of funds, the Tsarist government offset nearly 30% of the debt.

In addition to the debts that have been repaid in recent years, the total debt of the Tsarist government has fallen by nearly 40%.

In addition to the reduction in debt pressure, the Russian economy has also achieved certain development in recent years. Although it is still a snail-like speed, it is still moving forward.

Self-raised and loaned out, hundreds of thousands of troops' war funding for one year comes out.

Alexander III surprised: "The French will issue bonds for us?"

He should not be surprised, because of the credibility, the national debt issued by the Russian government can only be sold locally, even if it reaches the ally Austria.

No matter how good the relationship is, the higher the interest, and the financial institutions that have suffered losses, are not willing to come for the second time.

In contrast, France's financial regulations are much looser. Bonds are risk investments, and the purchaser is responsible for the default, and the issuer does not need to be jointly and severally liable.

Capitalists, as long as the interests are high enough, there will naturally be people doing it. To the surprise of Alexander III, the French government did not intervene.

To know that Britain and France are allies, the French issue bonds for the Russians at this time, it is simply to stab them in the allies.

Finance Minister Alisher Gulov nodded: "Yes, the French government did not intervene!

However, interest and handling fees are very high, and the amount of bonds cannot be too large, and can only be carried out in the form of fundraising by private enterprises. "

For the Tsarist government, the process is not important, the most important thing is the result. As long as money is available, there is no substantial difference between corporate bonds and government bonds.
