Holy Roman Empire

Episode 154

In the Munich Royal Palace, a meeting began to determine the fate of the Kingdom of Bavaria.

"Your Majesty, your decision is too hasty. At this time, if we move closer to Prussia, we will definitely be retaliated against by the Austrians." Prime Minister Murdice said with a frown

Not long ago, the Prussian government proposed to "establish a German responsibility cabinet composed of Austria, Prussia, and Bavaria to jointly rule the German region."

This was the dream of Maximilian I, and without the consent of the government, he privately concluded a covenant with the Prussians.

On the face of it, if this plan is successful, the highest goal of the Kingdom of Bavaria is "three-point world". After all, their strength is limited and it is impossible to unify the German region.

In fact, this bait is poisonous. Now the reputation of the Kingdom of Prussia in the German region has been greatly damaged, and it is urgent to restore its reputation. Obviously this is the responsibility of the cabinet plan.

Now that Bavaria and the Kingdom of Prussia are mingled together, it is undoubtedly a betrayal for Austria and will inevitably be retaliated against.

As the boss of the German region, the so-called responsibility cabinet could not be established without the support of Austria. The three-point world pursued by Maximilian I was a bamboo basket to draw water-an empty space.

The substantive benefits were not obtained, and they were mixed with the infamous Prussian government.If nothing else, the news spread, and the Bavarian people ’s support for the government has to drop by a few percentage points.

Not all Bavarians have the idea of ​​a three-pointed German. In the eyes of many people, the Bavarian kingdom is too weak. It is the best choice to achieve German national unity and Austrian cooperation.

"Now Austria is in great power and the Kingdom of Prussia has just encountered Waterloo. If we do not support them, the balance in the German region will be broken.

The Vienna government is now undergoing social reforms. Judging from the information we have received, it is already beginning to bear fruit.

Austria ’s population and territorial area exceed the sum of all of our remaining states. Once they turn these potentials into national strength, who can block them?"Maximi I asked rhetorically

Murder's Prime Minister thought the same, so he supported the unification of the German region with Austria and the establishment of a great German empire.

Since it is a joint effort, it is natural to divide the cake.The Austrian becomes the major shareholder, and the Kingdom of Bavaria can also be the second shareholder. It is naturally indispensable to occupy an important position in the future board of directors.

This is the choice that best guarantees their interests, and cooperating with the strong is the way of survival for small countries. This is how Bavaria joined the German Second Empire in history.

It's enough to think about these words. Murdice won't say them.Otherwise, Maximilian I will be mad, and the Prime Minister has no confidence, then it has to be?

"Your Majesty, the timing is wrong. The reputation of the Kingdom of Prussia is too stinky. The people have no good feelings for them. Even if they want to cooperate with them, they will have to go through the limelight.

The Austrian government is busy with internal reforms and will not make any move within three to five years.

As long as our ally relations are not terminated, even for the sake of reputation, the Austrian government will not risk us the world.

Now that we and Prussia have blocked the pace of Austria's unification of the German region, even if they want to unify the German region, we must cooperate."Murdes thinks for a moment

Fame is also a double-edged sword, because prestige Austria has become the boss of the German state, and it is also subject to fame, which prevents Austria from unifying the German region.

"Nationalism has risen, and the idea of ​​grand reunification has spread in the German region. If we do not take action in advance, the further back we are, the more unfavorable it will be to us.

After the establishment of the Holy Roman Economic Union, the Austrian government accelerated the pace of penetration in the German region. On the bright side, we could not even stop it.

If in another three to five years, Austria might be ready to unify the German region by force.

Austria ’s influence in Bavaria is too great, who knows how many people will become the leading party?

I do n’t think that the Bavarian people will resist the Austrians as much as they did against foreign invasions. Judging from the civil situation, the big Germans now want the Austrian army to fight.

We all know that the main factor hindering the unification of the German region in the Habsburg dynasty is not military. The key to Austria ’s strength lies in diplomacy."

When he said this, Maximilian I felt very heavy.

The "Austrian threat theory" has existed for hundreds of years, but now that there is no market, the Great German Reunification may wish Austria to be stronger and to unify the country earlier.

Due to the butterfly effect of Franz, the Austrian government increased its influence on the public opinion of the Southern German state. More and more people agreed with Austria, and Maximi I was anxious in his eyes.

Rather than pro-Prussia, Maximilian I was better forced by reality.In order to protect their rights, it is the best choice to fight against Austria with Prussia.

He also thought this way in history. He met every source in the Pu'ao, but he didn't expect that after the Pu'o War, the Austrian government would quit the German region and stop playing.

...

The wood has become a boat, and the Bavarian government can do nothing even if it has any opinion on the king's hasty decision.Austria has been offended, and Prussia can no longer be offended.

On July 21, 1850, the Kingdom of Prussia joined forces with Bavaria, Hanover, and Brunswick to propose the formation of a responsible cabinet to the German Federal Parliament.

History has changed because the Prussians changed their strategy because of the damaged reputation. Instead of engaging in the so-called "Three Kings Alliance", they chose to join forces with Bavaria.

Vienna

The actions of the Prussians have also been tacitly approved by Austria to some extent, otherwise they will not be so easy to connect.

The event is coming, and everyone is still very angry about Bavaria's betrayal.

Once the "Big Three" cabinet is established, Austria's influence in the German region will be greatly impaired, and Bavaria's betrayal has hit the face of the Austrian government.

The conspiracy of the Prussians must be stopped, and the betrayal of the Bavarian government must be retaliated against, otherwise how can Austria be mixed up on the European continent?

Metternich proposed: "Your Majesty, in order to combat the ambitions of Prussia and Bavaria, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs proposes to bring together small states in the German region and all states to form a responsible cabinet."

Xiaobangguo has a low right to speak, but they have so many countries that they take advantage when the parliament quarrels.Once all countries have jointly formed a responsible cabinet, it will not be much different from the current federal parliament.

As long as you think about it, a cabinet with more than thirty people will be noisy when it comes to things, and you can imagine how much it can play.

On the principle of equality of states, Prussia and Bavaria ’s powers were reduced to the same status as small states, and Austria ’s role as the recognized first state of Germany was highlighted.

Prime Minister Felix thought about it and said, "I'm afraid it's not so easy. Powers don't want the reunification of the German region, and wanting to reunify the country with a responsible cabinet is simply a dream.

Even if the cabinet is established, who can command it?Neither we, nor Prussia, nor the Bavarian traitor will take the cabinet seriously."

This is inevitable. How can an empty responsibility cabinet order the whole country?

Chancellor of the Exchequer Karl proposed: "Since this is the case, then we have just messed up the water.

The German Federation ca n’t do without the emperor. While forming the responsible cabinet, we simply proposed the election of the emperor and pushed the pace of reunification of Germany a big step forward."

It is indeed a big step forward, and a common emperor and cabinet have appeared.With the righteousness, the name is in place, and the road of reunification in the German region is easy to go.

Obviously, the Kingdom of Prussia is impossible to agree, unless they are willing to be a younger brother to Austria, otherwise it is impossible to compromise on this issue.

Names and devices are not fake, and are common in any country.Except for the Habsburg family, even competitors can't find the emperor election in the German region.

The influence is invisible and untouchable, but no one can ignore its existence, and legal reason is one of the absolute factors that determine the European throne.

Opening the history of the German region, you will find that those qualified to compete with the Habsburgs have disappeared in the long river of history.

The remaining royal families, neither influential nor legal, can be compared with the Habsburg family.

If the Habsburg dynasty nominally unified the German region, wouldn't it be the resurrection of Shinra?

"Without the intervention of the great powers, we may be able to force the Prussians to accept it, but now it is impossible.

It is estimated that when this proposal is put forward, it will encounter collective opposition from everyone, and we cannot resist such great pressure."Metternich shook his head and said

It is of course better to reunite the German region without blood, even if it is only a nominal reunification, Austria can slowly transform the "nominal" into reality.

Obviously, it is impossible for the powers to agree. Even Russians who are allied with Austria will immediately turn their faces. This is the bottom line.

No more than in the Middle Ages, nationalism in the German region has been awakened. Once the German region realizes reunification, even if it is a nominal reunification, this great Central European empire is a trembling existence.

Whether it is France in the west, Russia in the east, or Britain far away overseas, you will feel threatened.

Standing on the opposite side of European countries, Austria is not Russia or Britain. It has no geographical advantage and no strait that can serve as a natural line of defense.

Being in the land of the four wars is destined for the Austrian Empire to have no allies in international politics. Being isolated means danger.

Karl explained unhurriedly: "So, this proposal can only muddy the water, and we don't expect such a simple political means to unify the German region.

The election of the German Emperor was only a temptation. It was not the attitude of the governments of all countries, but the attitude of the people in the German region.

The idea of ​​Great Unification has spread very widely, but how high is the public ’s acceptance of Austria? We have only a rough estimate, and now we should do it as a poll.

This data can be used as an important reference for us to formulate the German regional strategy and avoid many detours."
