Holy Roman Empire

174 Countdown

Constantinople

Since the beginning of the negotiations, Abdul Meguid I has not been in a better mood. He has just been threatened by the Russians, and now the Austrian representative is on the scene again.

Meestersee is a pure diplomat, not as aggressive as Mainshkov, and Austria ’s appetite is not as big as that of the Russians.

Abdul Mejid I firmly said: "Mr. Mestre, your country ’s demands are too excessive. The Principality of Moldavia and the Principality of Wallachia are both sacred and inseparable parts of the Ottoman Empire Can't cede! "

(Remarks: The principality of Wallachia is in southern Romania today; the principality of Moldavia in northern Romania, Moldova, and parts of Ukraine)

But when saying this, there was a lack of confidence, who would let them be watched by the Russians and Austria at the same time?

For the last one alone, with the support of English and French, they can still be tough.In the words of one enemy and two, don't say that Abdul Mejid I was tempted, even if the British and French personally went into battle without confidence.

Dividing Russia and Austria has become their top priority.Otherwise, as soon as the war broke out, the Ottoman Empire was almost over.

Meister Cédé explained calmly: "Your Majesty, these two Principalities are not your country's old territories, but only two subsidiary states. Why is it not transferable?

Judging from the current situation, your country simply does not have the ability to keep these two principalities. If it is sold to the Austrian Empire, you can also reduce the line of defense bordering Russia."

A good face is not only a patent of the Qing Dynasty, but the Ottoman Empire did not succeed."Transfer", "sell", this is the face of Mestersee taking care of Abdul Mejid I as much as possible.

Influenced by European culture, selling land is not a big deal.This is more acceptable than simple ceding.

If Austria really wanted to buy these two principalities, Abdul Meguid I would n’t mind selling it, and there was no way to keep it here even if war broke out.

Although the two principalities are flat and fertile, they are suitable for agricultural development. However, because they are close to Russia and Austria, the Ottomans did not develop much at all, and sold them without distress.

"How much is your country willing to pay?" Asked Abdul Meguid I looking forward to

In any case, some consultations are better than no consultations, even if it is just to compromise time, Abdul Meguid I will have to lie with Austria.

Meister Ceylon said forcefully: "Your Majesty, the Austrian government is willing to contribute 100 million rupiah!"

This price is very sincere. Anyway, in this era, undeveloped land is not valuable.

Not waiting for Abdul Mejid I to answer, Mestsee added another sentence: "But now the Austrian government is in financial difficulties, unable to pay such a huge sum of money at once, we are ready to pay it within a hundred years."

Is n’t it nonsense to pay it off within a hundred years?Not to mention inflation, with the strength of both sides, can the Ottoman Empire be able to receive money?

As long as anyone with a little brain knows, Mester is talking about buying, and he is actually not going to give money at all.

A hundred years of payment is totally an empty cheque. As long as the time is not up, it cannot be said that Austria has defaulted.

For such a long time, once there is a little conflict or conflict between the two countries, or a fight, there is no need to give a penny.

Even if the money is received 100 years later, it is useless.It is a question mark if one hundred million yuan can buy more than 200,000 square kilometers of land, and whether one can buy twenty square kilometers of land after a hundred years.

Bullying people don't want to do this. If they are intimidated, they just make concessions. It's not telling the world that the Ottoman Empire has fallen, and they want to divide up their legacy.

Abdul Mejid I asked: "Mister Meister, are you kidding? There is no such funny business in the world!"

Meestersee laughed and said nothing, the Austrian government was not prepared to pay for it, and his proposal was nothing more than a shame for the Sudanese government.

Having acquired the principalities of the two countries in the Danube Basin through negotiation, Mestersee is not yet naive.If it is so easy, why should we mobilize the army?

The domestic bottom line is very clear, just talk casually.Even if it can be negotiated, an agreement cannot be reached now, otherwise how will the next play be performed?

If reconciled with the Ottoman Empire, should Austria stop preparing for war?If you stop, your preparations will be completely abandoned; if you don't stop, it will be even worse, and the strategic purpose will be exposed.

By that time, the states of South Germany were ready, and with the intervention of the great powers, the strategy of advancing westward was almost null and void.

In order to bring the negotiations to a standstill, after the two countries in the Danube Basin, Mesterset made further territorial claims to the Ottoman Empire and walked through most of the Balkan Peninsula in one breath.

Even if Britain and France tried their best to mediate the contradiction between the two sides, they also returned without success.Of course, acting and making a full set, Mestersee also began to give in slowly.

...

When the Constantinople negotiations started, Paris was also lively.The struggle between parliamentary and presidential parties has become fierce, and there is no way to ease it.

After a long preparation, Louis Napoleon Bonaparte was finally ready.

With the support of the British, on June 12, 1851, Louis Napoleon Bonaparte launched a military coup in Paris, forcibly dissolving the parliament.

The parliamentarians, who were unwilling to fail, also organized the army to fight back. They failed because they were betrayed by the traitors.

After the news of the coup reached Vienna, Franz was not surprised, although the time of the coup was advanced by half a year.

The butterfly effect has become more and more important, and France has been affected. The direction of the future world has become unrecognizable.The advantages of the prophet and the consciousness are slowly disappearing.

Franz has been prepared, but his arrival has changed the fate of many people, and it is inevitable to affect the world situation.

After this Paris coup, it will not be long before Louis-Napoleon-Bonaparta will be restored, and the British-French pair will also appear on the stage of history.

Franz didn't try to stop it. In comparison, Napoleon III, the great monarch, was not too difficult to deal with.

France has a solid foundation. It is not terrible to have a tormented monarch. If there is a farming monarch, it will be a real disaster for Austria.

The usury empire still allows them to continue lending usury, and Austria will do it for the development of industry.

After the coup in Paris, the pressure of the British was instantly reduced. With the thug of France, their voice in European diplomacy became even heavier.

Abdul Meguid I was the most deeply touched. The support from France was strengthened. Napoleon III, who was about to be restored, sent him a military instructor to help train the Ottoman army.

However, this support is not enough to change the current unfavorable situation.Over time, the attitude of the Russian representative Duke Alexander-Menshkov became stronger and stronger.

Instead of negotiating, it is better to say that the Russians are making conditions and let the Ottoman government make a multiple choice question: accept, or war.

The Russians seem to have prepared for the war. On July 23, 1851, the negotiations between Britain and Russia in St. Petersburg ended in failure because the two parties had a very different bottom line. The new round of the Russo-Turkish war entered a countdown.
