Holy Roman Empire

Everyone was embarrassed. Franz breathed a sigh of relief. The Pudan War will not end in a short time, which means he has enough time to fill the hole.

There is no fire in the paper. If you do n’t fill the hole, even if you put the shit pot on the Prussian head, it ’s not reliable!

In the unlikely event that the dress was worn, would Emperor Franz still have a face?

Misappropriation and corruption are completely two concepts. The former can explain the normal capital operation of banks. Anyway, as long as the money is paid out on schedule, the latter is the black history forever.

The European powers were not idle when Russia and Russia held each other.

In addition to occasionally expressing opinions on international issues and swearing their sense of existence, the French are mainly busy with internal struggles, and even overseas colonial expansion has been affected.

The British were very busy, while stepping up their aggression against India, while colonizing and expanding in Southeast Asia, and also invading New Zealand ...

The British colonial empire is about to take shape. Except for the absence of the African continent, other regions have basically been included or are being incorporated into the British colonial empire.

Everyone is busy, which creates opportunities for Austria.

As the world focused on the battlefield of Putin, on April 15, 1849, Austria and Naples, the Papal State, Tuscany, Bavaria, Wurttemberg, Baden, Hess-Damsta and other states were Rome established the Holy Roman Economic Union.

European public opinion was in an uproar. Fortunately, Franz did not set up its headquarters in Vienna, otherwise the political influence would be even greater.

The most intense reaction was Prussia. For the reunification of Germany, they hardened the Russians in the front, and Austria actually came to a draw.

In addition to the Kingdom of Prussia, the main states of the German region have joined the Holy Roman League dominated by Austria, which means that Prussia has been kicked out of the right to speak in the German region.

Under the influence of the establishment of the Holy Roman League, the idea of ​​Great Germanism has risen again. In the eyes of many nationalists, economic grouping will contribute to the unification of the country.

Even within Prussia, some people advocate joining the alliance established by Austria. As for the German Customs Union, the historical mission has been completed and it can be allowed to enter the garbage dump.

This change made Frederick-William IV a headache. Nationalism was a double-edged sword. They were able to support Prussia's reunification of the Little Germany, as well as Austria's reunification of the Great Germany.

As for the increase in the Italian region, nationalists do not care.In their view, as long as the German nation occupies a dominant position, the larger the empire that is built, the better.

"Prime Minister, what kind of attitudes do all countries have regarding Austria's wolf ambitions?" Frederick William IV asked expectantly

After thinking about it, Joseph von Ravidovic replied: "The British issued a diplomatic note to Austria against Austria's alliance and strongly condemned Austria for breaking the principle of free trade.

The French government protests against Austria ’s establishment of an economic alliance that excludes third countries, and no further action has been taken.

The Spaniards said they are closely following the development of the situation, most European countries are neutral, and the Russians have not yet expressed their position."

There is no doubt that now everyone is too busy to look for trouble in Austria.

The British did not intervene vigorously in the Putin War, nor did they have the energy to interfere in the Austrian alliance. Without the big European powers, they had limited voice on the European continent.

The French waited for them to settle their domestic factions. Otherwise, they would not be able to do anything because the French government opposed the party and opposed it for the sake of opposition.

Frederick-William IV was very depressed. In his view, the Russians who were most capable of interfering in Austria happened to be contained by their help, and the tsarist government could not interfere in Pu'o at the same time.

Without the threat of force, can protest overwhelm Austria?Frederick-William IV shook his head. The diplomatic pressure faced by Prussia was even greater, did it also withstand it?

Austria has only established an economic alliance, and most European countries have hung up high without concern for themselves.

"Did the British take no action?" Frederick William IV asked with concern

...

London

As the world's first crap stick, how could the British watch Austria make a league?

To know the Holy Roman Economic Union, but a small half of the monsters of Germany + half of Italy + Austrian Empire, in terms of economic volume, this is the first economy in Europe.

Although most of these places are still semi-feudal and semi-capitalist systems, their own industries are not weak, the British have a small local market share, and they do not lack a market.

No matter how small the mosquito is, it is not John's style to give up in vain.

"Something's wrong, how did the Russians react so sluggishly this time?" Prime Minister John Russell asked doubtfully.

Palmerston thought about it and said, "Maybe hesitating, the Pudan War has already restrained them a lot of energy. At this time, if you intervene in Austria, if you can't do it, Puao will join forces.

Nicholas I was not a fool. Once that step was taken, the 'Nordic Palace' system collapsed. As long as they did not want to be isolated in Europe, they would not take action against Austria."

Since the "Berlin Convention", the European continent has entered the "era of the three countries of Puasia". The three countries have joined forces to jointly maintain the Vienna system, and even the British have been excluded from the European continent.

Now because of the Pudan War, there has been a crack in the relationship between Russia and Russia, and the British naturally have to find a way to split this alliance.

Whether it is to encourage Austria to expand into the Balkans, to support Austria ’s occupation of the Danube, or to indulge Prussia ’s war against Denmark are part of this plan.

I have to say that this time the Russians did a strict job of keeping secrets and deceived everyone, and everyone made up their minds.

"The Russians probably didn't expect to have a dream. The Prussians actually persisted this time, and now they are riding a tiger.

However, the Holy Roman League established by Austria is also a problem. With the old fox, Metternich, wanting to unite countries to put pressure together, I am afraid it will be difficult."John Russell frowned."

Palmerston said with a smile: "Why must the Austrians be forced to dissolve the alliance? The most important thing for this alliance to be established is not us.

Russia, Prussia, France, which of them is not anxious than us?

Especially the Prussians, they stalemate with the Russians, Austria was originally the best mediator, but now Austria has come up with this alliance again, the Nordic Three Courts Alliance is afraid that it will come to an end.

Do we need to help them continue this alliance?"

Prussia had conflicts with Russia and Austria at the same time, and in the alliance of the three countries, of course, it could not be mixed up.

In order to split this alliance, the British have put a lot of effort, and now they are only close to the goal, they will naturally not renew the alliance.

"It seems to be very beneficial to us, but it is still necessary to be alert to Austria. The old fox of Metternich is best at balance, and the influence of the Habsburg dynasty is deeply ingrained.

They cannot be allowed to turn this economic alliance into an empire.Otherwise, our interests in the Mediterranean cannot be guaranteed."John Russell said cautiously

This is not unfounded. Everyone knows that the Habsburg family is the best at marriage. It is an internal marriage within the framework of the alliance. Several generations later merged into one. This is how the Austrian Empire came about.

If Franz knew what the British thought, he would want to laugh.It is okay to form an alliance with the Italian state. If you want to annex the Italian state, forget it. He does n’t want to ask for trouble.

"Relax, Prime Minister. The Austrians will not have this opportunity, as long as they dare to take the first step, the alliance will collapse.

On the contrary, the Pudan War was a trouble. The Prussian government was still insisting on public opinion. I was worried that they would provoke the Russians and the war between the two sides might break out.

If the Kingdom of Prussia was maimed by the Russians, without internal ribbing, Austria might have dared to unify the German region."Parmeston thought for a while and said

In many cases, the imperial system cannot be analyzed from the perspective of interests. If the tsar is angered, it is really possible to fight regardless of the consequences.

"Be prepared for mediation. Once the situation is out of control, pressure the Prussian government to force them to compromise." John Russell said cruelly

There is no way to impose diplomatic pressure on the Russians, and they will not bird them at all, and will only bully the soft persimmon Prussia.

Despite the good relations between the UK and the UK, this does not allow Britain to unconditionally support Prussia.In the face of interests, it is nonsense to have a relationship with the British.

...

Vienna

Since the establishment of the Holy Roman League, Franz has not been able to sleep well for several days, there is no way to go too smoothly, it seems very abnormal.

It is natural that the Russians do not intervene. The two sides have had a secret contract. If they cannot keep it secret, the Russians can directly support Austria.

But the performance of other countries surprised Franz.Even if it is a small country that is neutral, they do n’t have the right to speak. They used to be soy sauce.

But the performance of Britain and France made Franz strange.

The performance of the French government was barely understandable. The foreigners must first settle in, and Austria did not invade France. It is difficult for them to fight against their enemies.

The British did nothing but protest.According to the analysis in advance, the British should draw the French at this time, and a group of younger brothers came to put pressure on Austria.

This kind of non-playing of the cards makes Franz very headache.Metternich, the foreign minister, still presides over work in Rome. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has two answers:

1. The British are too busy with colonial expansion to take care of Austria;

2. The British want to provoke the conflicts between Pu and Russia and Russia and Austria, and disintegrate the alliance between the three countries.

With the exception of a few cabinet members, other people do not know the content of Austria, Britain, France, Russia and Russia, and naturally cannot conduct a comprehensive analysis.

At this time, Franz suddenly discovered that in just over a year, Austria had signed so many secret agreements, which is simply incredible.

If it had not been hosted by Metternich, the foreign minister, Franz suspected that the Austrian government would have collapsed.

In history, Austria also tried to walk a tightrope between Britain, France, and Russia, and finally failed to grasp the balance, turning all three ally countries that Britain, France, and Russia could become enemies.

If you think about it, Franz will not be cold. Do n’t look at Austria ’s situation now better than in history, but once diplomatic play collapses, it will instantly become isolated.

Do you need to consider the consequences?

Naturally, he was a man with his tail in his arms, and he lived in the nest at home.Quietly watching Prussia unify the German region, and then challenge the world order with them.

Theoretically, the Austrian Empire, which has completed internal reforms, will be much stronger than the historical Austro-Hungarian Empire. It is possible that Germany and Austria will join forces in a counterattack.

However, this kind of thing is obviously impossible. Franz is already prepared. If the situation exceeds the control, then Russia and Austria will work together to fight against Britain and France.

Simply analyzing from the military perspective, the possibility of failure is not high, at most, it is to fight both defeats, and the war will end when Russia and Austria have no money.

Historically, the Russians singled out Britain and France and lost the Crimean War, not because of a military defeat. The main thing is that the government has no money. If they have money, they can continue to fight.

Only 300,000 troops were lost, which was totally drizzle for Mao Xiong. Even if this number is increased tenfold, they still have enough gray animals.
