Holy Roman Empire
Chapter 213
Since Prime Minister Felix ’s visit to the German state, the topic of reunification has been hot in the media.As if not talking about this topic one day, it will be eliminated by this world.
Especially after the failure of Felix ’s trip to Bavaria, the impact is even greater, and German nationalism is naturally disappointed.
Regardless of whether they agree with the Shinra Empire, they have to admit that this is the most likely plan to realize the unification of the German region.
When the Bavarian government's reunification plan appeared, it was immediately sent to all parts of Germany by intentional people, causing a sensation.
Austria is naturally disdainful, and three-legged standing also depends on strength.Although the Kingdom of Prussia is only a middle-class country, its force has reached the level of a power, and it still has this qualification.
But what about Bavaria?Why do they achieve the same status, do they rely on representing many small states?Who agreed?
If their strength is close to Prussia, then there is no need to say that the tripod is inevitable.Austria does not have to go west, just to operate the Balkans honestly.
The Kingdom of Prussia also did not buy it, and the three-legged political system did not benefit them.Whether it is the Little Germany plan or the North and South Germany plan, it is in their interests than this plan.
The two big states are just dissatisfied, and they laughed away, at most, they ridiculed the Bavarian government in the newspapers.
The small states in the German region are frying pans, so they are represented, do we agree?
Guided by the newspaper, public opinion exploded in an instant.Various sprays appeared, as if they did not scold Bavaria again, they felt uncomfortable.
The Rhine Daily newspaper came directly with an article "Bavarian Ambition", which also published the strategic plan of the Bavarian government to annex German states.The steps are detailed as if they were true.
True, false, no one cares. Anyway, everyone is wishful thinking that this is true, otherwise how can so many countries in the German region be the three cabinets?
If these states cannot be annexed, why should they be represented in the empire?
It didn't take long for someone to turn over Bavaria to collaborate with Britain, France and Russia in an attempt to kick Austria and Prussia out of the split German-Italian plan.
This is true because the British and French have indeed made this proposal, and the Bavarian government is willing to accept it.It was just before the start that they were strangled by Austria and Prussia in the cradle.
Even the Bavarian government secretly supported this theory.It's just that the influence is too small to be mainstream in the Kingdom of Bavaria, let alone promote it.
Now that the media is turning it out, it is naturally nonsense, and newspapers that do not process art, are you sorry to say that you are a news person?
Franz admits that he has paid, without the Austrian government, and so many newspapers in the German region, it is impossible for such a neat black Bavaria.
Of course, there must be a relationship between the Bavarian government ’s decision-making mistakes and they value the support of the powers too much.
This is a common problem in small countries. It must be seen in the eyes of the great powers, and it has inevitably been affected over time.
People are ambitious, and Maximilian II is no exception.Playing balance between Austria and Prussia every day, it will be annoying for a long time.
Once the three countries of England, France, and Russia are instigated, this ambition can no longer be trusted.In theory, the Bavarian plan is not without possibility of success. If history has not changed, the three-pointed German plan is likely to become a reality.
However, the difficulty of this diplomatic operation is relatively high, and the Kingdom of Bavaria also needs to open a little, at least 200,000 elite teachers.
As long as Prussia defeated Austria and successfully attacked the Kingdom of Prussia, then the Bavarian strategy was successful. This success rate is a bit scary.
Anyway, Britain, France and Russia will support them. As long as this wave of reckless win is victory, the strategy of a small country is to rely on gambling. How dare you bet against it?
The odds of success are now lower. Austria has not started a road to defeat. The overall strength is at least two Bavarias higher than the same period in history, which is completely incomparable.
No matter whether there is an opportunity or not, dreams always have to be.Just as Franz wants to unify the entire German region?
Because it was really impossible to do so, I had to retreat to the second place and execute the Süddeich Plan, and the difficulty fell to a controllable level in an instant.
Even the implementation of the South German strategy has been split, and the first step was to win Bavaria. If you have achieved this, let's talk about other things. You can't do anything for nothing.
This also appeared in the Bavarian distribution strategy, and appeared in the newspapers in a grand manner.
The first step is to create an excuse to unite Prussia and Britain, France and Russia to kick Austria out of the German Federation;
In the second step, the United Kingdom, France, and Russia kicked Prussia out of the German Federation;
third step,……
Regardless of how fucking these plans are, everyone is still angry.Isn't the Bavarian government's plan insulting everyone's IQ?
Even Maximilian II was angry, and the conscience of heaven and earth dared to swear to God that such a plan for S2 definitely had nothing to do with him.
Of course, this Bavarian government does n’t matter. Even if you have this idea, you just have to think about it in your dreams. Who dares to let this content appear on paper?
And even if it's a choreography, is it a bit reliable?The first step is to force Austria out of the hands of the powers, which is impossible.
The Prussians did not have to say that they must hope to see Austria get out.The question is who doesn't know that the British and French PK bears are all in a real fire. Why should Bavaria unite them?
At least have common interests, right?For example, Austria has committed public anger and encountered a common boycott. But hasn't this happened yet?
Can Bavaria and Prussia make Austria out?It is estimated that as soon as this plan is put forward, the Austrians will be on the rise.
Does anyone believe in such a second plan?The answer is: yes, and there are many.
At least Franz believed it, and so did the Austrian government.On April 11, 1853, the Austrian Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a diplomatic note to the Bavarian government, warning the Bavarian government not to play with fire.
Public opinion was in an uproar, but the majority of people still supported it. After all, Austria was only a diplomatic warning, and it seemed to be very relieved in many small German states.
If it's really hands-on, it's different, and many people's ideas will change again. This reason is not enough.
Franz is a good-tempered emperor, who will not rise up in anger, but only adds one more note to the war excuses.
After being warned, the Bavarian government immediately made a clarification. The above situation is really slandering, and they absolutely have no plan to split Germany.
After the episode, the third wave of public opinion momentum ended and the fourth wave of public opinion momentum began.
In May, the new topical hotspot in the German region became "how to unify the German region."
This topic is very sensitive. The governments of all countries are silent, but the people are talking about each other. The most lost Shinra faction is the first to be eliminated.
The Bavarian government acted as the Blaster and became the object of everyone's anger.Of course, in Maximilian II's view, it was worth it, although he received a lot of scolding, but benefited.
The three countries of Britain, France, Russia and Russia all publicly issued diplomatic statements, criticizing the reconstruction of Shinra as an unstable factor undermining European balance and warning Austria not to play with fire.
After that, Franz didn't bother to read, and lost these notes in a corner.
The Bavarian government has been highly praised by the powers. If it is not the conflicts between Britain, France, Russia and the three countries, they will all have to come down to help Bavaria achieve its strategic goals.
It is estimated that Maximilian II didn't believe it. Diplomatic words were enough.It's just that the powers are cheering them up. If you really believe it, prepare to cry!
On the surface, the Bavarian kingdom has an advantage in this round of political game. Austria has just threatened them and was immediately warned by the powers.
Comparing all the plans together, everyone found it helpless to find that the first out was actually the most likely to succeed, and the opportunity for the performance of the second grade boys came.
"When the door to peace is closed, then force will be the only option, and Germany will eventually be unified."
When this slogan was shouted, it quickly spread across Germany.The second year boys didn't know what this meant, so they shouted.
Instantly terrified a lot of people, especially many small state governments, they are most worried about the German military.
The interests of everyone in the reconstruction of Shinra are still guaranteed. Once it becomes a unified nation by force, there is no doubt that they are the part that is unified.
The unification of the country through bloodshed will naturally kill the reactionaries who undermine the unification of the country, and the smell of fireworks in the German region is getting stronger and stronger.
The time for Franz to wait hard has arrived, the mass foundation is already in place, the blood of the masses is ignited, and everyone reluctantly accepts the reality of unifying Germany by force.
This time can not be delayed, the blood of the people can not continue, when they calm down, then everything will be late.
The momentum of the hardliners within the Austrian government began to rise. On June 1, 1853, Prime Minister Felix gave an iron curtain speech at the Vienna National Assembly.
"With our continuous efforts over the past few days, our plan to use peaceful means to reunify Germany ended in failure under the collusion of the thief and the foreign thief.
But Germany will eventually be unified, which is the mission entrusted to us by history.
At this time, perhaps we should change the way to achieve national unification.
Since the birth of the great Germany, it has been full of iron and blood, and now we have no choice.
Since someone forced us to take this step, then use iron and serum to sweep this decaying world and cast a new glory of this empire!
... "
Everyone knows that Austria has changed.The prime minister and the prime minister became the main war, and Austria's national policy has undergone major changes.
In the following days, high-level Austrian leaders delivered speeches similar to each other, and the Austrian government became the main battle group.
In short: we love peace, but we love Germany more, and we will spare no effort to unify Germany.
These public statements made public opinion in an uproar instantly, and many people suddenly responded. Is this the coming of war?
Without letting everyone wait for a long time, on June 5, 1853, Franz published the "National Letter to the German".
"Peace is dead, there is only one road left for the reunification of Germany, and that is war.
History gives responsibility, and I cannot escape because of my deep love for this land and this country.
In order to avoid division in Germany, we must obliterate any possibility of attempting to divide Germany.
Now under the testimony of God, I decided to punish the country thief and eliminate a collusion thief in an attempt to divide the decaying regime in the German region.
... "
Believe it or not, anyway Franz decided that the Bavarian government colluded with Britain, France and Russia in an attempt to split Germany.
The "National Letter to the German" is a declaration of war. At the same time that Franz issued the declaration, the Austrian government has submitted a war declaration to Bavaria.
The cover of the book of war is impressive: Zhu Guojie.
The Bavarian government, who has not yet responded, is dumbfounded, and the Austrian government's attitude has changed too quickly.
It is important to know that the powers also warned Austria not long ago that, under normal circumstances, they cannot use force against this background.
Maximilian II did not have time to investigate why, and immediately ordered: "Immediately ask for help from Britain, France and Russia, and ask them to intervene; the country immediately mobilizes nationwide, and at the same time asks for help from the countries of the German region, asking them to immediately send troops to support."
Prime Minister August added: "Your Majesty, we must immediately clarify to the outside world that the Austrian government's conviction on our heads can never be admitted, otherwise it will end."
The military question is okay to say, even if they have lost the battle, with the intervention of the great powers, they still have the opportunity to retain their power; if they fail politically, even if the Austrians are driven away, there is no such thing as them.
The Foreign Minister Barkhaus exclaimed: "No, the Austrians are premeditated, and we have won!"
Maximilian asked anxiously: "What's going on? Say!"
The Foreign Secretary Buckhouse sullenly said with a bitter smile: "Your Majesty, public opinion is very unfavorable to us. A series of things happened in front of us that tied us together with Britain, France and Russia.
I am afraid that in the eyes of many German people, we are the thieves who colluded with foreign thieves. Even if we explain, we cannot reverse this situation in a short time.
Austria ’s influence in Bavaria is very great. If the people think we are traitors, then I am afraid ... "
Before he finishes talking, everyone knows what happened.At this time, if Britain, France and Russia jumped out to intervene, it proved that the Bavarian government colluded with them. If they did not intervene, Austria could swallow Bavaria in one go.
This is a dilemma. How to choose pits in front is nothing more than which one to jump.
Maximilian II said fiercely: "I can't control that much, I'll go through this level first.
The Austrians mostly watched the battle between Britain, France and Russia, and could not work together to intervene in their actions.
But they did not know that we and the three countries of Britain, France, and Russia agreed that they would definitely intervene.
The unified German Empire is terrifying, and this cannot be tolerated by any power in Europe.
Austria ’s shot now means it ’s out. We must take this opportunity to kick them out of Germany!"
