Holy Roman Empire

While ignoring the Paris government, the Austrian Ministry of Foreign Affairs will naturally not forget the London government. The British Empire was still very powerful in this era.

As the only industrial country in the world today, it is time for them to be bullish. Fortunately, the British mainland is small and restricts population growth, otherwise there will be nothing for the latecomers.

The Great Revolution of 1848, the British also could not avoid, but compared with France, Austria and other countries, they are all pediatrics.

Before the outbursts of the Zhida sparse revolutionary party, they were suppressed by the police uncles, and finally there were several strikes, which ended in haste.

Franz knew that the Sao-Austrian War was actually planned by the British. As long as the Sardinian kingdom sent troops, the British Foreign Secretary Palmerston began lobbying King Charles-Albert.

Against this background, Austria ’s diplomatic activities in London are naturally impossible to achieve results.

Moreover, the credibility of the British is really not reassuring, as long as the interests need to change their positions at any time.

Fortunately, Franz did not expect to get the support of the British. The purpose of the ambassador to Britain, Humel Lauer, was simple: to lobby pro-Olympic MPs to prevent the London government from providing substantial support to the Kingdom of Sardinia.

Downing Street

Prime Minister John Russell is thinking about the current world situation. The first is the question of France. The interim government that has just been established has expressed its goodwill to the British Empire diplomatically. He is still hesitant to accept him.

The Vienna system has collapsed. How should the future European political structure be established?

Don't look at the British diplomacy as awesome. Before the collapse of the Vienna system, John Russell didn't think there was anything, but now that it really collapsed, he felt a headache.

Under the Vienna system, European countries have maintained evenly matched forces, and the British can rest assured to expand their territory overseas.

"Your Excellency, according to the current situation, we can continue our previous strategic vision and establish a unified Italian dynasty to weaken the strength of Austria while blocking the French expansion to Italy!" Foreign Minister Palmerston proposed

John Russell frowned and said, "Mr. Palmerston, this is the most ideal state. In fact, in order to balance the strength of European countries, we also need Austria to exist.

Now Austria has many internal contradictions, and if it fails, it disintegrates.When there are no restrictions, the Habsburg family will return to the German region.

Now the call for reunification in the German region is very high. With the prestige of the Habsburg family, it is very likely to unify the German region."

In lineage Europe, John Russell is not unfounded. Once Austria breaks up, the return of the remaining Austrian states to Germany becomes almost inevitable.

In this case, the Habsburg family could really unify Germany.It's no joke to conquer the world with the lower body.

Even if the Habsburg family did not unite Germany, would it be the same for the Prussian?The emergence of a unified Great German Empire is not a good thing for the British.

Franz also considered whether to abandon Hungary and Italy and go back to forming the German Empire.But after careful analysis, he gave up this temptation decisively.

It is easy to unify the German region, but what about internal conflicts?At least he had no way to overwhelm the Prussians, the Catholicism of Southern Germany and the Protestantism of Northern Germany were distinct.

Historically, the Germans have not been able to solve this problem, and the Second Empire has been conflicted since its establishment.

That was just the little Germany. If the big Germany was established, this contradiction would be even more terrifying. The North and South Germans are evenly matched, and internal consumption can make people collapse.

Looking at the map again, the strategic location of the German region is really a huge pit, and there is no danger in the land of the four battles.

Even if Franz is confident, he doesn't think he can beat France and kick Russia with constant internal friction.

Reunifying the German region without giving up the Austrian Empire, Franz said it was a dream. For details, refer to the case of Napoleon singled out the major European powers.

Otherwise, there is no need to wait for him. After the end of the Anti-French War, it is the best time for Austria to unify Germany.

There is no doubt that smart people are not the only ones in Franz. Metternich resisted the temptation and established the Vienna system without unifying Germany.

Thousands of birds in the forest are better than one in the hand.

The integration of the current Austrian empire is actually not much worse than the unification of the German region.Then slowly work hard to develop, waiting for the opportunity is king.

Entering will conquer the European continent and rebuild the Holy Roman Empire; retreating will roar to southern Europe and become a party power.

"The situation in Austria may not be as severe as we thought. The Vienna Revolution has been suppressed, and although unstable elsewhere, no chaos has broken out.

For the European Revolution to spread to Russia, the tsarist government must support Austria. With our support, even if the Hungarian rebellion broke out, it would be suppressed soon!

Moreover, we do not need the Kingdom of Sardinia to defeat Austria completely. We can mediate when necessary. As long as the French are not allowed to send troops to support the Kingdom of Sardinia, the situation is under our control."Parmeston thought for a while and said

John Russell asked: "It's not difficult to mediate the Osage War. How are you going to answer the Austrians? If they can't get support from us, they will ask the Russians for help.

The Russians will not give up this opportunity, and once Russia and Austria reach agreement, no one in the Near East can check and balance them."

The mainstream contradiction in today's world is the contradiction between Britain and Russia. With its powerful strength, the Russian Empire has become the biggest enemy of the British.

Austria is the biggest force to balance the expansion of the Russians in the Near East. If the Austrians now rescue the Russians, it is inevitable to give up part of the Balkans ’interests.

The British did not want the Russians to enter the Mediterranean. Historically, the Crimean War broke out for this reason, and the British and French joined forces to block the Russians back.

"It doesn't matter, we don't need to reply directly to the Austrians, give them some ambiguous hints to make them think we are supporting Austria.

The Kingdom of Sardinia wants to unify Italy and they need their own efforts. We only provide limited support. Although success is the best, failure will not involve us.

It is also a good choice for France and Austria to contain each other. The diplomacy of the British Empire cannot be hanged on a tree!"Palmerston said with a sneer
