Chapter 100 General Russian Conflict

Metternich replied helplessly: "His Royal Highness, the efficiency of the French government has always been low. At this time they are still discussing in the parliament!"

He was also convinced of the efficiency of the French. Both parties signed a treaty, and all the conditions were agreed in advance. When the action was taken, the chain could still be dropped.

"Why don't the French suddenly lose interest in the Italian region and want to repent now?" Prime Minister Felix asked doubtfully

Metternich said with a smirk: "No, the French government has no intention of repenting. They are now debating how much troops are sent, who is the commander, and which troops are sent."

It ’s also drunk to think about it. It ’s something like that, and it ’s up to the parliament to make a decision. It is estimated that Austria will have cleaned up the Kingdom of Sardinia before they can discuss the result.

Franz rubbed his forehead and said, "Forget it, our French ally is not reliable. Fortunately, we didn't expect them to do anything as long as they didn't add chaos.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is focusing on the British and their style. At this time, they must definitely do something and do not give them opportunities."

According to Austrian law secrets, during the battle in Venice, the French should send troops to copy the Sardinian nest, destroy the kingdom of Sardinia, and then add the two of them to share the land of the kingdom of Sardinia.

Now that the battles in Venice are over, the French parliament has not yet come up with a result, and Franz has not expected the French to do much.

"His Royal Highness, the French parliament has been unable to produce results. There are British people in it. Many pro-British parliamentarians also opposed sending troops.

Only Italy's temptation was too great, and the power within France could not bear it at all. The French bourgeoisie and the military were promoting this military operation, which overwhelmed the opposition."Metternich replied

The intervention of the British by Franz was not unexpected. The two countries of France and Austria divided the Kingdom of Sardinia. John Bull had to lose at least tens of millions of pounds in loans, as well as a large chunk of interest in Italy.

However, the internal problems in France were still somewhat beyond his expectations. It was unexpected that Austria had made major concessions this time to divide the Kingdom of Sardinia, and the promotion of the bourgeoisie and the military could proceed smoothly. I did not expect to get stuck.

As the so-called night long dreams are more, the longer the delay, the more things the British can do, and the less chance the two countries can divide the Kingdom of Sardinia.

However, the French certainly will not give up easily, no matter who the government is, they have to consider the appeal of interest groups.

France has been suppressed for too long, it has been silent for so long, and interest groups are wailing. At this time, it is not easy to let them give up the fatty meat delivered to the door.

"His Royal Highness, if the French cannot deliver on their promises, can we also tear up the agreement?

A strong France is not in our interest, especially to allow them to expand their power into Italy!"Duke Louis thought for a while and said

The temptation to swallow Italy alone is too great, and the smooth military operation has also inspired the ambitions of some people in Austria. Grand Duke Louis just spoke on behalf of these people.

"It is too risky for us to eat the Kingdom of Sardinia alone, and the attitudes of the great powers have to be taken into consideration. At that time, we may face the suppression of the joint British and French forces."

He is still very sober, knowing that Austria has a few pounds and a few pounds, if Austria has the strength of Germany 2 in history, it is not bad to swallow Italy alone.

Obviously, this does not exist, and the combination of Guangying, France and France will not allow Austria to walk around.

Not mentioning Russia and Prussia, it is because Russia and Pu are now on the bar, and temporarily can't take care of Italy.

After the March Revolution in Berlin, Baron Arnim, the foreign minister of the Prussian Liberals, came to power. He promoted a pro-British, French, and anti-Russian foreign policy.

He saw through the Russians' reality and thought that Russia was just a mud-footed giant. The Prussian liberals headed by him advocated the support of the Polish revolution to weaken the Russians.

Of course, the Prussian liberals are not fighters of internationalism. They support the French restoration movement, and even throw away the common Poland. The main purpose is to contain the Russians and create favorable conditions for the reunification of the German region.

Fortunately, Frederick William IV stopped the operation in time, otherwise Prussia had already started fighting with the Russians.

However, the liberals were not idle, and they focused on the two German principalities of Schleswig and Holstein.As soon as the Berlin Revolution ended, they made a request to Denmark to merge these two principalities into Germany.

This is obviously inconclusive. If the fighting is not possible, the fighting will be carried out. On April 10 Prussia took military action against Denmark, and on April 23 the two countries officially declared war.

There is no doubt that the fallen kingdom of Denmark cannot do anything with Prussia. It was slammed by the Prussians all the way. By May 21st, the Prussian army had killed the Jutland Peninsula.

At a glance, the Danish government could not continue in this way. The enemy was too powerful, and he was forced to resort to the ultimate trick-summon the boss.

Seeing the younger brother being bullied, the old nature of Russia is about to come forward, or where to put the face of the bear?

"Your Highness is right, the risk of annexing the Kingdom of Sardinia alone is too great. Just look at Prussia, they want to merge Schleswig and Holstein, and now it is difficult to ride a tiger." Prime Minister Felix echoed.

After thinking about Frederick-William IV, Franz felt much better.The same is the case of honing hogs to prepare sheep, the diplomatic situation of the Austrian government is much better.

This time the Osage War was initiated by the Kingdom of Sardinia. The Kingdom of Sardinia is responsible for its own losses. All the responsibilities of the war can only be resisted by themselves. Most international opinion is inclined to Austria.

In this era, Italy was just a place name. No one had admitted that it was a country.The so-called unified Italian region cannot be used as a legal basis for waging war.

In the eyes of the international community, this war is a war of aggression waged by the Sardinians, and Austria does not need to assume moral responsibility.This is why the British clearly supported the Kingdom of Sardinia but did not take practical action.

The German region is just a place name. The two German principalities of Schleswig and Holstein have no connection with Prussia.

Of course, even if it is related, everyone will not admit it, otherwise Switzerland, the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg should belong to Germany?

At least at the Frankfurt meeting, these regions and the two principalities of Schleswig and Holstein were considered part of Germany.

The lack of legal basis made Prussia's military operations unreasonable and weak, and fell into a passive situation in diplomacy.
