Holy Roman Empire

On July 1, 1853, Prime Minister Felix visited the Grand Duchy of Baden again and had a historic meeting with the regent Prince Friedrich.

Prime Minister Felix continued to whisper: "His Royal Highness, the reunification of Germany is the common wish of all German people. The Bavarian government that has blocked the car has been abandoned by the people.

History has given us a mission to achieve national reunification at this time.As nobles in the German region, we have a responsibility to fulfill this obligation."

In the face of Prime Minister Flix, Prince Friedrich had a terrible headache. Now "unification" is politically correct in the Principality of Baden. With the lesson of the Bavarian government, he dare not make mistakes on this issue.

While Felix flickered, he was accompanied by the threat of Austrian force.

The Kingdom of Bavaria has been settled, and the Austrian army moved involuntarily to the border of the Grand Duchy of Baden, not too much for only 100,000 people.

This number has made Prince Friedrich sleep well.In his view, there is no need for 100,000 Austrian troops, even 10,000 Austrian troops are a serious threat.

Fortunately, the Austrian knows how to salute first, then there is room for maneuver.Even if it is to be merged, it must be sold at a good price?

Prince Friedrich raised the question in his mind: "My Excellency, as a noble in the German region, I am also willing to contribute to the unification of the German region. The problem now is that European countries do not want to see German reunification.

The three countries of Britain, France, Russia and Russia all showed their attitudes. Once the German region was unified, they would send troops to intervene, and the Prussians would go with them.

If this problem cannot be dealt with properly, we risk a reunification process and it is likely to evolve into a large-scale war."

The nobility is not only a privilege, but also a responsibility, which is why the European nobility is respected.

Prince Friedrich could not directly refuse the reunification of Germany. He simply put the problem of unification in front of him, and by the way, he also blackened the Prussians.

If Austria cannot solve this problem, there will be no reunification, and the big deal is to let Austria eat Bavaria and it will be finished.

Dead friends do not die poorly. Prince Friedrich did not mean to be unfair for the Bavarian government. The Austrians have paid attention to eating, and publicly promised the two royal families to replace the land.

Although the specific location was not disclosed, it was the best choice for the Bavarian royal family.As a royal family abandoned by the people, they cannot remain in the throne even if they continue to stay in Bavaria. It is better to change places to keep their foundations.

Felix said confidently, "His Royal Highness can rest assured about this issue. If we cannot resolve diplomatic issues, we would not dare to mention reunification at this time.

The current situation in the world must be very clear to His Royal Highness. Britain, France, and Russia are fighting in the Near East. Now, even if they want to intervene, they are still overwhelmed.

As long as everyone agrees, the reunification of the German region is not a problem.The trouble now is the Kingdom of Prussia. They have always been ambitious and want to annex the entire German region.

We will try our best to fight. If the Prussian government opposes and colludes with the great powers, then this time we will unify the South German region first.

This is the bottom line of Austria. Anyone dare to hinder, then see you in the war!"

Prince Friedrich understands that the previous ones are routines, and the last sentence is the real purpose of Austria.

After careful calculation, he found that the seemingly Austrian plan had a very high success rate. The Bavarian kingdom was over, and the southern German region no longer resisted them.

If it is the reunification of the German region, the three countries of Britain, France, and Russia will certainly not tolerate it.If you change to the division of Germany between the North and the South, the results will be different.

Austria is getting bigger, but this kind of enlargement happens to step on everyone's bottom line, and it does not threaten everyone's survival.

For the British, there is no need to worry about the European balance getting out of control. Austria, which has grown in strength, is on par with the French, and at best it is better than the Russians.

Anyway, Austria is surrounded by the three countries of Russia, France and France. At this point, it can no longer be expanded, even if it is stronger, it is within the tolerance.

Not to mention the Russians. The Russian-Austrian alliance is a well-known thing. As long as the entire German region is not unified, the Russians feel the threat, and the rest of them can accept it.

Prince Friedrich speculated that Russia and Austria had already reached an agreement, otherwise the Austrians would not dare to take action at this time.

A single France, it seems that it can not scare Austria, whoever is afraid of fighting?As long as it is not Napoleon's rebirth, the reunification of Austria in the South German region will not be encouraged.

Prince Friedrich involuntarily defaulted in his heart that the people supported unity. In this view, when calculating the military strength of Austria, the power of several states in the Southern Germany region was added.

There is nothing wrong with this calculation. When the French call, they do n’t want to fight.Invasion of foreign enemies, there are people who dare to call neutrality?

Prince Friedrich thought about it and said, "My Excellency, in principle, I agree with the unification of the German region. The Principality of Baden will not hinder the unification of the country, but we need to discuss the specific details."

The fight for interests cannot be backed out, and now Prince Friedrich naturally wants to fight for the interests of the Principality of Baden, or for himself.

Felix showed a happy face, and received a positive answer. He knew that the Principality of Baden was done. Are they afraid to discuss the specific conditions?

It is important to know that there is a law in the world called the Constitution, and the central government can pass laws to restrict the rights of local governments.

In the new government, Austria occupies an absolute dominant position. How do these few small countries compete?

Felix flickered in the atmosphere: "No problem, considering that each state in the German region has its own system, in principle we advocate state autonomy.

Except for everyone to abide by the common Constitution, the central government usually does not interfere with the governance of local governments."

These have a prerequisite, that is-temporarily.

Prince Friedrich was satisfied, not satisfied, Prime Minister Felix's attitude was too firm, and the movement was a threat of force, so that he could not say what he refused.

As for leaking the Austrian plan, Prince Friedrich is not so stupid. This is a thankless thing.

Even if Britain and France knew it, it would not change the result of the unification of the Principality of Baden. It is now the best choice to sell the Principality of Baden for a good price.

If you turn your face, you can refer to the treatment of the Bavarian royal family.The replacement of the land sounds good. In fact, they lost a lot of money, and the business results of several generations are all gone. They have to start again.

What if the Austrian government is ashamed and moths are made again in the last decade or eight years? What should we do to find an excuse to take down their throne?

In the new country, they do not have a deep mass foundation. If the royal family is abolished, it will be abolished, and even the storm will not be tossed up.

After a week of negotiations, on July 9, 1853, Prime Minister Felix on behalf of the Principality of Baden, represented by Austria and Prince Friedrich, jointly signed the "Deutsche Reunification Declaration."

Simply put, from now on, the Principality of Baden and Austria are considered to be the same country, although this new parallel Shilla Empire has not yet been established.

Prior to this, the Principality of Saxony had signed.The Austrian government threatened and lured a group of punches down, and the people in the country started to coax, and it was difficult for them to compromise!

Nationalism in the German region has been detonated, and the Bavarian government, which hinders the unification of the country, was eliminated by Austria, and the Principality of Saxony and Baden reached agreement with Austria.

It seems that the days of the reunification of the German region are not far away. When Prime Minister Felix arrived in Württemberg, the greeted crowd had already squeezed the streets, and finally had to negotiate in a manor outside the city.

When Austria issued a declaration of war, everyone thought that war was inevitable. As a result, the Bavarians successfully turned the war into an armed march, and the dawn of peaceful reunification appeared again.

Before the negotiations started, the Württemberg government was already under pressure.Before this, many people have publicly stated that if a war of reunification breaks out, they will not help the government fight.

In order to prevent the Bavarian government from repeating the old things, the Württemberg kingdom naturally succumbed. As long as Austria can manage international pressure, then everyone is a family.

On July 11, 1853, the yet-to-be-established parallel shrine empire had appeared: Austria, Bavaria, Baden, Saxony, and Württemberg.

Southern Germany has basically achieved unification. On the way to Hesse-Darmstadt, Felix has announced that it has joined the Shinra Empire.

At this time, Britain, France, Russia and other countries that are preparing to interfere have reached an agreement.On July 6, Britain, France, and Russia jointly issued a statement announcing a truce in the Near East for one month.

The following day, twelve European countries, including Britain, France and Russia, issued a joint note urging Austria to stop the unification of Germany.

Without any threatening language, in this note, Austria will have to stop the pace of unification, but at this time Franz ’s goal has been completed.

The region of Germany that had just emerged from the dawn of reunification immediately fell into a wailing, and many people reluctantly found that reunification was still far away.

The Kingdom of Prussia also appeared in the intervention country this time, and Franz did not feel that there was any surprise.What is it worth to bear a little infamy for the benefit?

Anyway, now their reputation has been stinked, broken jars, and Frederick William IV do n’t mind being verbally abused.

If the Kingdom of Prussia does not participate in this operation, it is certain that this division in the German region has nothing to do with them.

Support Prussia against Austria?Such a good thing, just think about it in your dream.

The United Kingdom stated that Hanover was his own younger brother and could not give up, otherwise where would the boss's face go?Is it not enough to balance Austria, the French and the Russians?

The French said that Lao Tzu is not stupid. It is not enough to have an Austrian competitor. Are we still adding one?

The Russians say they can, support you spiritually, and fight for their own actual interests. Russia is not stupid.

The interests of Europe are so great. If the Prussians get more, it means that others will get less.

Which idiot is willing to take out his own interests and cultivate an opponent?

The geographical location has been decided, and once the Kingdom of Prussia rises, it is everyone's competitor.Because the meat left for the Kingdom of Prussia is no longer enough, they can only snatch it.

Check and balance Austria?As soon as the German region was split, the pace of Austrian expansion was blocked.

The French are in the west, the Russians in the east, the Prussia in the north, the Balkan Peninsula in the south, the Sardinian kingdom in the southwest is the younger brother of the British, and the other states in the Italian region are originally Austrian younger brothers.

How can Austria choose?Oh, there is another Switzerland that wants nothing, unless the Vienna government brain waters collectively, otherwise it will not be interested in the backbone of Europe.

According to the plan put forward by the Russians, Austria will either stay in place or go out to grab colonization if it wants to expand!

This British and French really do not admonish, and Austria is really not an opponent to compete overseas.The geographical location determines that Austria is naturally at a disadvantage in overseas colonization.

As long as the colonies are developed overseas, they are stuck in the neck by Britain and France. If you do not have a good relationship with everyone, don't think of any gains.
