Holy Roman Empire

Chapter 101

In recent decades, Prussia has continued to develop and grow, which has long made Austria envious and jealous. At this time, it is their turn to be unlucky. Everyone is naturally happy to read jokes.

"Speaking of Prussia, not long ago they also sought diplomatic support from us in the name of saving the German state. After being rejected, they were spreading adverse remarks against us everywhere in the German region.

At this time, the folk Prussian kingdom has quickly become a national hero of Germany, but the great Austria has become a background board!"Metternich frowned

After hearing this news, everyone's face was ugly. Austria is the leader of the German state. From the perspective of nationalism, it is Austria that should be the two principalities of Schleswig and Holstein.

However, geographically, Austria and Schleswig and Holstein were separated by Prussia, and things without interest could not be done naturally.

Now the Kingdom of Prussia prides itself on the German savior, and is hitting Austria again.

In the past, Austria was limited to civil strife and lacked the energy to participate. Now, internal conflicts will soon subside, and international affairs will have to participate.

Prime Minister Felix sneered and said, "Humph! The Prussians are so presumptuous, we have to give them a little color!"

Metternich shook his head and said: "This is probably not easy. On the issue of Schleswig and Holstein, we cannot stop Prussia's actions, otherwise the nationalists in the German region will think that we are traitors."

With the rise of nationalism, we can no longer ignore the influence of public opinion. Austria, the leader of the German state, must stand behind Prussia at this time. This is abduction by public opinion.

Since it was kidnapped, it is natural not to expect much from Austria, and diplomatic pressure should still allow the Prussians to resist themselves.

Franz's face suddenly changed, and in history Austria was pulled by Prussia, and the two countries jointly resisted international pressure and recovered the two principalities of Schleswig and Holstein.

However, after the operation ended, the two countries had turned their heads shortly afterwards. Austrian Baek worked part-time for Prussia, but he was beaten by the bust.

Although this happened after ten years, the foreshadowing of the war is now buried.

Although Prussia did not occupy the Principalities of Schleswig and Holstein in the Pudan War, they gained the public opinion of the German region and laid the foundation for Prussia to unify Germany.

Franz frowned and said, "The Prussians are playing the next game, they are determined to us! In that case, it depends on who is more skilled!"

"His Royal Highness, at this time we stand up against Prussia, okay, now the public opinion in the German region is supporting them!" Finance Minister Carl exhorted

Franz sneered and said, "No, not only can we not oppose the actions of the Prussians, but to support them with great fanfare, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs publicly supports the return of the two principalities of Schleswig and Holstein to the German Confederation.

From now on, we will mobilize our influence to build momentum for this incident and let all German people know our efforts for the territorial integrity of the German region.

At the same time, we must also promote the contribution of the Kingdom of Prussia, issue diplomatic notes to the Kingdom of Prussia, tell them not to counsel, and wait for us to solve their internal problems and help them!"

There is another way to kill people in the world-killing, the Kingdom of Prussia now prides itself on the German savior, so let them stand taller.

When the stage is set up, it is always necessary to sing.If there is the support of the states of Austria and Germany, can Prussia withdraw easily?

But if they don't give in, what can they do?The European powers are all on the side of Denmark, supporting their Austria. This time, they are only preparing to act as a king of mouth guns, and their practical help is infinite.

The Swedish government has mobilized the army to defend Denmark, and the Russians have sent troops to the border between Russia and Russia. In case of gunfire and fire, Prussia will go to the opposite.

"Your Highness, if we support Prussia, there is no diplomatic way to explain to Britain, France and Russia, which will be very detrimental to our next action!" Metternich said with a headache

Franz said indifferently: "Mr. Metternich, this question will depend on the coordination of your Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Explain to our nations about our difficulties. There is constant rebellion in Austria. We cannot but consider the feelings of the German nation and assure them that our support for Prussia is limited to words."

Austria is also a member of the great powers. Such a little diplomatic pressure can still hold up. As long as no actual action is taken, it will not affect the Russian-Austrian League.

Austrian law has just signed a friendly treaty, everyone is a combination of interests, and will not be turned over because of the problems of the Danes.

Not to mention the British, because of the relationship between the Kingdom of Sardinia, the two countries are in trouble.At this time, the London government cannot continue to worsen the relationship between Britain and Austria, otherwise the Russian-Austrian alliance will become tighter and tighter.

The remaining small European countries will condemn at most two sentences. It is impossible to sanction Austria for a few slogans.Even if they have the heart, they have no courage?

Felix said in the opposite direction: "His Royal Highness, if it is only verbal support, naturally the problem is not big. But if the Prussians delay the problem and drag us to suppress the domestic rebellion, will we help or not help?

If you help them, the strength of the Kingdom of Prussia will be further strengthened. If you do n’t, then our reputation in the German region will be greatly damaged!"

This is a very realistic problem. The Prussians may not be able to do anything with the Russians, but during this period the tsarist government did not want to declare war on Prussia. They could still do it by putting the problem on for a year and a half.

Franz sneered and said, "It doesn't matter. The Prussians can delay the time. We can also delay the time. Even if the domestic rebellion is suppressed, we can still pretend that the local situation is unstable and unable to send troops.

It's a big deal to give them a share of military expenses. If they can successfully return the two principalities of Schleswig and Holstein to the Federation, we will pay for it; if we don't receive it, we will pay the bill!"

If he can spend a sum of money to completely destroy Russia-Russia relations, Franz will not be stingy.

However, the Prussians certainly did not want to take the money. They had tossed such a big movement, not only to return the Principalities of Schleswig and Holstein to the German Confederation.

If the two principalities of Schleswig and Holstein could not be annexed, would n’t they be fighting this war in vain?

Even with the addition of two new members to the German Federal Parliament, the strength of the states is further strengthened, and the road of German reunification becomes even more out of reach.
