Holy Roman Empire

European countries relaxed the material restrictions on France, which was originally a good thing, but Napoleon IV was not happy at all.

There is no way, the change in the political positions of various countries also means that the European world is not optimistic that France can win this war.

The center of the world this year is Europe, and the perspectives of the European world will directly affect the judgments of countries around the world.

In the recent period, the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs has worked hard to win over allies overseas and has achieved initial results, especially after the British joined.

Without this bad news, Colombia, Chile, Argentina, Mexico, and Japan could all become members of the anti-Austrian alliance.

Now everything is impossible. Politicians are not fools. It is okay for them to speculate with the trend. If they want them to go against the current and fight alongside France, then there is no need to think about it.

Open the map and you will know that Egypt played a vital role in this war. Once it fell into Austrian hands, the anti-French alliance was invincible.

Seeing that France is strategically passive, at this time, no matter how much benefit the Paris government promises, it is impossible for the clerks to take millet for them.

Holding back his anger, Napoleon IV questioned: "Why did the Egyptian region fall so quickly?

You know that we have just increased our troops not long ago. The 23 infantry divisions plus the troops in the Egyptian region have a total strength of more than 800,000. Is our army all lounge rice bags? "

The rumors are not random. The Vienna government dares to use the occupation of Egypt to fool the people, and there is capital.

Just a week ago, the French army lost its access to the sea in Egypt. The French army in Egypt had contact with the French mainland. No one knew what happened on the front line.

From the standpoint of a bystander, France had just increased its troops on the front line and lost its exit to the sea. It was clear that the Austrians were deliberately seducing the enemy.

Since it is luring the enemy, it is naturally certain of victory. It makes sense for the Egyptian region to fall so quickly.

The outside world can make up for it, Napoleon IV could not bear it. Not only did he lose Egypt, but he also lost an extra 300,000 regular troops, which was simply a loss to my grandma's house.

If you knew this earlier, it would be better to withdraw the French-Egyptian troops and fight with the anti-French alliance in the European continent. At least it could increase the odds of winning.

Facing the emperor who was about to run away, Luskinia, the minister of the army who was also bewildered, explained helplessly: "Your Majesty, no one knows what happened in the Egyptian region. Maybe, this is just fake news from the Austrians.

With the addition of our reinforcements, the regular army in Egypt alone exceeds 500,000. Governor Jacob has rich combat experience. Even if he cannot defeat the enemy, he cannot be wiped out so quickly.

Before the fall of the port, we contacted the Egyptian region for the last time, and Governor Jacob also promised to last for at least half a year. "

Persistence for half a year naturally has prerequisites. The war is fought with materials. With sufficient logistics, half a million French regular troops and 300,000 cannon fodder troops will certainly have the power to fight.

However, the plan did not change quickly. The heavily guarded port by the French army fell first, and the French-Egyptian forces directly became alone.

According to the intelligence from the Navy, they were attacked by the Austrian navy and air forces at the same time. After heavy losses, they were forced to choose to evacuate.

This is the tragedy of the loss of air supremacy. The Mediterranean Sea is not big. The Austrian Air Force can monitor every move of the French Navy from Libya, but the French cannot lock in the movement of the Austrian Navy.

In this era of no wireless telegraphy, even if the spy collects information, there is no way to transmit it back in time.

The information is not equal, and the French Navy had to adopt a conservative state in a series of operations. The main fleet did not dare to divide its forces at all, for fear of being ambushed by the Austrian Navy.

The only squadron stationed in Egypt was a very limited squadron. Suddenly, it was attacked by the Austrian sea and air.

Without annihilation, it is enough to prove that the French navy generals are still reliable. As for the security of the port, it is really embarrassing.

Without the support of the navy's firepower, and the Austrian army's combined sea, land and air strikes, the fall of the French port in Egypt has become inevitable.

Hearing this explanation, Napoleon IV's expression slowed down a little: "You mean the Austrians are spreading rumors, but what good is it for them? Is it just to deter the hordes of grass?

In fact, we all know that drawing allies to attack Austria’s overseas colonies is only to get rid of the passive situation of political isolation and helplessness, and it cannot really affect this war.

For Austria, after winning this war, even if all overseas colonies are lost, they will all return to their hands after the war.

Now that this rumor is released, although it has kept the overseas colonies, it has also pushed them to the opposite of European countries. Especially Britain and Russia are absolutely unwilling to see them continue to grow. "

The release of this kind of rumors is not worth the loss to Austria. This is the conclusion Napoleon IV reached based on the current international situation, and it is also the reason why the international community is willing to believe the rumors.

Foreign Minister Karel Kadlec: "Your Majesty, this may be the Austrians planning for the post-war international situation.

After all, once our strategy is successful, Austria will increase a wave of enemies abroad. Involving so many countries, if all of them hit the door to retaliate, it will inevitably cost a lot of money; no retaliation is not enough, this is related to the dignity of the country.

If this is the case, then we must be careful. The enemy may have the confidence to win the war before doing so.

News from the Embassy in Russia shows that Russia and Austria have been in frequent contacts recently. We all know that Russia and Austria are very close, and Austria’s influence in the Russian Empire is very large.

The heads of those Eastern European barbarians are relatively simple, and they often do nothing through the brain. If Austria is allowed to win over the Russians, then the subsequent war will be difficult to fight. "

The chain of contempt has always existed. For a long time, the European continent has been developed in Western Europe, and Eastern Europe is backward. The Russians in the most Eastern Europe have naturally become the objects of contempt.

There is no doubt that Karel Kadlec was deeply influenced by this concept and has always been biased against the tsarist government.

Regardless of strategy or interest, as long as people are stupid, everything is not a problem.

According to the principle that there is no room for two tigers, Russia and Austria as neighbors should be incompatible with fire and water, but the reality is just the opposite. The Russian-Austrian relationship exceeds everyone's expectations.

As a result, European experts in international relations studies have been biased, and some even openly proposed that as long as politicians can exercise restraint and use political means, all contradictions can be resolved.

Frankly speaking, this view is not without the possibility of success. If there is no such thing as the British people, it is really possible for the European continent to resolve disputes by political means.

You know that Fao was still an ally twenty years ago. The conflict between the two countries began to escalate after the British joined the alliance.

Because there is no confidence in the tsarist government, he is worried that the worst will happen. The French government reluctantly made a quick decision and forced the front line to launch an offensive. The European War was once again brought to a climax.

...

In London, Prime Minister Gladstone has suffered from insomnia since the news of French Egypt.

The contiguous Austria is really terrifying. The existence of this behemoth has seriously threatened Britain's strategic security.

From this day on, Britain’s maritime hegemony has lost its checks and balances on Austria. In case the two countries turn their faces one day, Britain will have to go to land and strike Austria.

There is no way, the Suez Canal has fallen into Austrian hands, and the Cape of Good Hope has become the only hub between Britain and India, and has become a military must-guard.

Losing here also means losing India. As for the detour, what is feasible in theory is not feasible at all.

The detour is simple to say. If the detour is tens of thousands of miles, it will not only increase the time, risk and cost of sea voyage, but also weaken the British government's control over India.

If the Russians go south again, the British government has no way to guarantee that it can send reinforcements and strategic materials in time.

In the meeting room, Prime Minister Gladstone's face was full of storms, and he said solemnly: "Everyone, the worst situation we are worried about has emerged.

With the fall of French Egypt, all our restrictive measures against Austria have no effect. At the moment, we must not only find a way to pull the French, but also consider how to ensure the safety of the Cape of Good Hope. "

Either crisis awareness or persecuted delusion. In theory, as long as Russia and Austria reach a deal, it is possible for Austria to start the Cape of Good Hope.

Even the content of the transaction was completed. The Russian army sent troops to the European continent to help deal with the French, in exchange for Austria to send troops to occupy the Cape of Good Hope and cut off the ties between Britain and India.

One family won the European hegemony and African hegemony, the other gained British India, and the two countries joined forces to carve up the world. From an interest point of view, both Russia and Austria are earning blood.

Minister of Foreign Affairs George: "The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has already started operations, and we will find ways to undermine Russia and Austria to move closer.

But this is far from enough, unless the French can hit Austria hard in the European War, otherwise the Cape of Good Hope will not be safe from now on.

Things on the battlefield are uncertain. From the perspective of strength on paper, I don't think the French have the possibility of winning the war.

Even if we fully supported the French, they did not seriously damage Austria's strength. We must know that the current Austrian Empire is not only the world's largest industrial power, but also a giant with over 30 million square kilometers of land and hundreds of millions of people.

If we add other countries in the anti-French alliance, even if we add up to the French, it will be difficult to gain an advantage.

In this context, either we personally end up in the battle; or we are forcing the French to desperately use them to consume Austria's strength.

The benefits of this are very obvious. The strengths of France and Austria have been weakened. No matter who wins or loses, there is no power to dominate Europe after the war. "

This multiple-choice question is easy to do. Britain has just played a pk with the Russians, and has lost more than 200,000 local troops on the battlefield in Afghanistan, and has no ability to continue a friendly match with Austria.

If you don't want to work hard, you can only let your allies go. France is also a big country, and if you try your best, it will be enough for Austria to drink a pot.

Once Austria's strength has been hit hard, that's when Russia and Austria part ways. After all, there can only be one European hegemon, and when the competition fails to win, there is no way and he is forced to give up; once a new opportunity arises, no one will let it go.

Colonial Minister Primrose echoed: "The Sir's proposal is good, and I agree very much. But before that, we must increase the Cape of Good Hope first, so as not to give the Austrians a chance.

It is best to send troops withdrawn from the battlefield in Afghanistan to the Cape of Good Hope area to dispel the ambitions of the Austrians. "
