War Palace and Knee Pillow, Austria’s Destiny

British Canning: Our invincible navy and powerful industry mean that we are number one in the world.

French Guizot: Because we are Anglophiles.

Neserlov, Russia: Say! I will protect everything in the Black Sea.

Metternich, Austria: It is our duty to restore the glory of Vienna.

Prussia Sewell: I'm successful if someone listens to me.

The third day was different from the calmness of the previous two days. Miloš dropped a bombshell right at the beginning.

"In order to thank you for your kindness and generosity, please allow me to care about the reputation of each country. At a time when all countries are working hard for peace in the Near East and the world, this honor has been tarnished in the most shameful way!

There is a country that is intoxicated in the joy of victory at this time, and all of this is a false illusion based on conspiracy. While the soldiers of the five countries were bleeding and sweating for peace, he forced a free country to give up its sacred capital, a solid fortress that had long resisted foreign invasion.

I, Milos, hereby accuse the Austrian Empire of using the most despicable and filthy means to force Serbia to sign a treaty with them that is humiliating and humiliating, and has plunged my people into an endless civil war.

And Prince Metternich, the initiator of all this, has not been tried, which is the greatest blasphemy against justice and justice."

All this was of course Guizot's handiwork. Metternich did not expect the appearance of Milos. He was hidden in the French delegation, and what he kept silent was to mix the waters again.

France certainly does not want Austria's influence to grow, and at this time there is no longer any bargaining chip that can threaten France on the negotiating table.

Britain's plans for a Jewish state failed, Russia refused to surrender control of the Channel, and Austria was the only country to make territorial gains.

At this time, Britain already has the support of France, so it no longer needs Austria as an ally, because France is now much stronger than Austria.

The Austrian Empire did not improve economically until it joined the German Zollverein in 1834. It had always been called a shame to the great powers.

Prince Metternich was a good player politically, but he was obviously a little incompetent in economics. Even he was deceived by the Jewish financial group.

Count Korolav is a good man in making money for himself (corruption), but he has done little in the national economy and can only do some small tinkering.

Baron Brooke was the greatest contributor to the financial survival of the Austrian Empire, but all he could do was maintain the status quo and was unable to open up new situations.

At the same time, Neserlov was a short-sighted diplomat. Canning described to him a beautiful picture of Britain and Russia joining forces to rule the world, which made him a little excited and even planned to sign the Strait Condominium Agreement.

The situation at the five-nation meeting seemed to suddenly become unfavorable to Austria, but Metternich, who had experienced countless storms and waves, did not panic.

"You seem to have been deposed by the Parliament of Seventeen. Let me find out your current identity." Metternich calmly put on his single-lens reading glasses. "Leader of the East Serbian rebels, brutally murdered Executioners of Serbian residents..”

"What right do you have, a slave with three surnames, who betrayed your motherland, your master, and your allies to accuse you? Since the Catholics in Bosnia have been persecuted, our country negotiated with the Ottoman Empire to hand it over to our country. The agreement is clearly written.”

Metternich asked the waiter to bring documents and evidence, as well as the agreement with the Ottomans. There is no doubt about the authenticity of these things. Catholics in Bosnia have been persecuted for hundreds of years. The evidence collected by the church can be used To describe it, piled up like a mountain.

Moreover, Franz's vigorous publicity in newspapers from various countries was not useless. The ambassadors and members of the mission here all learned more or less about the situation in Bosnia from newspapers.

As for the authenticity of the agreement, even the representatives of the Ottoman Empire did not question it, so it goes without saying.

"Let's talk about the agreement to exchange Belgrade for East Bosnia. This was proposed by the Serbian government and the legitimate Grand Duke, your son Mikhail. This agreement has also been recognized by Sudan Mejid. What else do you have? Is it easy to say?"

Faced with mountains of irrefutable evidence, all Milosh has left is to act wildly.

"I said, you used dirty methods to force the Ottoman Sultan, the Parliament of Seventeen, and Mikhail. My lords, believe me, what I said is true. Austria is not worthy of trust. Allies, it will only reap the benefits."

"Here are the letters that Milos has written over the years to the Ottoman Sultan, the Russian Tsar, the Emperor of our country, and the Karadzhoor whose head he beheaded. Each letter is full of flattery, and even more so. It describes countless dirty and despicable methods. I happen to have a copy here, so please take a look."

Metternich was well prepared, and with a snap of his fingers, stacks of letters were made public.

"Do you have anything else to say?"

Before Miloš could speak, Metternich said again.

"Speaking of reaping the benefits, our country sent an attack on the coast of Egypt and sent 6,000 soldiers on an expedition to Syria. This is obvious to all. How should you explain your slander against our country?"

"I didn't slander, I"

Before Miloš finished speaking, Austrian guards rushed into the venue, and naturally he didn't have the chance to say what he wanted to say.

To be honest, Metternich really didn't expect Guizot to make such a move, but now Austria has no leverage to threaten France.

Fortunately, Franz had made preparations in advance, otherwise he would have been in an embarrassing situation of being jointly intervened by the four countries to return the territory.

However, one wave after another, the British dropped another bombshell. Britain was preparing to lease Crete for 99 years and at the same time establish a Mediterranean fleet to better maintain peace in the Near East.

The British intention is very clear. They not only want the Mediterranean to become a bathtub, but also want to make this bathtub a British bathtub.

The British pulled 31 battleships directly from the docks of the North Sea Fleet. Representatives of all countries knew that Britain's maritime power was powerful, but they did not expect it to be so terrifying.

You must know that they have just dispatched ten battleships to Asia and North America, while the main force of the British Royal Navy is still in the North Sea.

Compared with the two battleships that were sunk before, they were just a drop in the bucket of the Royal Navy.

Guizot couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, and then wiped the cold sweat on his forehead.

Fortunately, the French fleet did not go out in full force to encircle Simond's fleet with the Egyptian fleet. Otherwise, I am afraid that the mistakes of the Battle of Trafalgar would have happened again.

The size of the British navy is so beyond everyone's imagination that Nescherlov couldn't help but feel a cold sweat for Russia. Faced with such a powerful maritime force, can the Sevastopol Fortress really stop everything?

Perhaps the best way to protect yourself is to compromise with the British. Obviously this man will go further and further on the road of being pro-British.

Metternich also began to doubt whether the Austrian Empire would be able to overtake Britain at sea fifty years later.

Canning was very satisfied with the expressions of the great powers, but he did not expect that his own navy actually hid so many deadly weapons.
