Since the twelve countries jointly intervened in the German reunification process, the entire German region has fallen into a low tide, as if the sky has collapsed.Even the most radical nationalists are desperate for the unity of the German region.

In order to appease the hearts of the people, the Austrian government still posted Anmin notices in its controlled area.It shows that the Vienna government is still making its final diplomatic efforts, trying to achieve the unification of the German region as much as possible, and by the way, hacking the Kingdom of Prussia again and again.

This does not help, except everyone scolds the Prussian government again, and then can only wait for the final trial of the Paris talks.

A young student said sadly: "We can't wait like this, we must do something!"

A young man beside him quickly grabbed his right arm and comforted: "Baier, don't do stupid things. At this time, we can only rely on the diplomatic mediation of the Vienna government. Now Prime Minister Felix has gone to London, Metter Mr. Nie also went to Paris.

It is said that His Majesty Franz also visited St. Petersburg, and now the Austrian government is doing its best to unify the German region.

What can you do now?In addition to chaos, can you let these countries change their positions?"

Baier shook his arm and freed his companion's hand, saying, "Schwarz, I can't help it. Even if we can't do anything, we can organize a demonstration to show them our determination to long for unity!"

"Humph!"

Shi pressure coldly, and then said: "Don't be stupid, Bayer. Even if the newspaper said, even if people from all over Germany came out to protest together, there would be no effect at all.

The government of London cannot see it, the government of Paris cannot see it, the government of St. Petersburg cannot see it, nor can governments in Europe.

Now our most important endeavor is to make Germany stronger, so strong that they will not dare to interfere in our internal affairs.

Now, even the most powerful Austria in the German region, in the face of the interference of European countries, can not mention the courage of a battle!

Protests and marches, in addition to disrupting social order, simply cannot add a little bit of national power; apart from delaying our development, there is no practical significance."

They all have "hate" and hate that the German region is not strong enough. Even if many states join together, they cannot face the collective pressure of the powers.

Bayer scolded: "They all blame the gang of Prussian barbarians. If they weren't two or five, they would definitely not be so passive.

Anglo-French-Russian war is going on. This is the best opportunity for unification in the German region. As a result, their bastards have turned to the British, French, and Russian countries and betrayed the interests of the German region!"

Since the Austrian occupation of this place, the Hebrew Kingdom has become a part of daily propaganda, especially after the appearance of the Kingdom of Prussia in the list of interfering countries, they can no longer be whitewashed.

At this time, everyone feels uncomfortable at this time, and naturally they will be caught and scolded. Since ancient times, traitors have always been more hateful than enemies.

When making this decision, the Prussian government should be prepared to be scolded. Anyway, they now have no idea to fight South Germany. Is the public base the same?

No explanation is necessary, because there is no explanation at all, and it cannot be said that if the Kingdom of Prussia does not join the interference alliance, the remaining states of the North German region will be merged into one country, and they will not get any benefit at all.

As for joining forces with Austria to unify the German region?Frederick William IV stated that he was not stupid, and that playing politics with the Habsburgs was not a disgrace?

The Hohenzollern family is best at using force, and everyone can take an army to practice. Frederick William IV can proudly say: throwing hundreds of streets from Franz in the battle with the soldiers.

I have to admit that sometimes heredity is a bit useful.There are many famous generals born in the Hohenzollern family, and the kings of Prussia are basically able to fight.

Because he was not very good at political struggle, after the outbreak of World War I, William II was quickly emptied by his men, and the Habsburgs were all heirs to play.

Even the last emperor, a parallel, almost kept the empire, but Wilson's "fourteen points" stimulated the outbreak of nationalism and killed the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

This can also be seen now that since the Kingdom of Prussia joined the ranks of the interfering countries, the country began to surge, and nationalists' dissatisfaction with the Prussian government reached its peak.

If he changed Franz, he would rather choose to send troops together with Austria to divide the German region. After that, he had to make a false appearance that he would merge with Austria, and then split after the powers pressed.

Taking this opportunity, under the banner of unity, swallowed the North German region, and when offended the British, they can also drag Austria to carry the pot.

Anyway, this happened sooner or later. If the Kingdom of Prussia wanted to go further, it was necessary to annex the North German region, so Hanover could not run away.

But Hanover was unusual. For the British, in addition to the interests, as the queen's home, there was also the face of the British Empire.John Bull, who has started to be bullish, how can he tolerate being beaten?

That being the case, it is better to pull a person to share the pressure. What a wonderful excuse for the unification of Germany?

In this way, although the external pressure will increase, the internal can gain the support of the people and make the rule more stable. The pros and cons are difficult to determine for the country, but for the king, this is the best choice. .

Napoleon III is a master in this area, in order to consolidate his throne, he did not hesitate to fight the Russians in the Near East.

In terms of national interests, the French only need to defend Constantinople. There is no need to continue fighting in the Crimean peninsula, but the French still send troops.

After a few victories in the Crimean history in history, and after receiving personal political gains, Napoleon III resolutely negotiated with the Russians.

...

The breeze was blowing, and Franz leaned his head out of the window, feeling the good time.

At the moment he was on his way to St. Petersburg, in the name of a unified visit to the Tsarist government in the German region, seeking diplomatic support.

In fact, when he visited Russia at this time, he had no direct relationship with this negotiation, but simply made a show for politics.

Although he knew that the German region could not be unified this time, as the Emperor of Austria, Franz had to make the greatest efforts to this end, at least let the people of the German region see his efforts.

In mid-July, Franz set off from Vienna, and the carriage drove towards St. Petersburg.Traffic in Austria is still limited, and Franz also took a train.

After entering the Russian Empire, he was too lazy to vomit. If he had a good body, it is estimated that he had not yet arrived in St. Petersburg and was tossed apart on the road.

What Franz misses most now is the era of planes and trains. From later on, from Vienna to St. Petersburg, the plane will take up to two or three hours, and the train will be one day long.

However, in this era, if you want to walk the 1,583 kilometers, you will have to use the month as the unit.

Fortunately, you can go by sea after crossing Poland, which can save a lot of time.Otherwise, the carriage rides all the way, even if the Paris negotiations start, he is still halfway.

In fact, to go to St. Petersburg, you can also pass through the German region, whether it is by boat through the Rhine, or from the Elbe can enter the North Sea.

Unfortunately, both roads must pass through the Kingdom of Prussia. At this time, politics required Austria and Prussia to be arrogant. Franz can only go to Poland.

It happens to be the flood season of the Vistula River, and navigation is very dangerous.For the sake of his life, Franz decided to go slowly.

This is the case anyway. He will never visit St. Petersburg again until the railway runs through. Such a long road is simply murder.

When will the railway from St. Petersburg to Vienna be opened?This question is about to be asked of the Russians. At the speed of Austria's development, after 20 years, the domestic railway network is almost perfect.

As for the Russian Empire, it is impossible to complete the full coverage of the railway network in this century, perhaps in the next century.

Although the road was a little bumpy, the scenery along the way was very good, completely pure and natural, especially after entering Russia, the factories that smoked are very rare.

Occasionally encountering a scenic area, Franz will stop to watch it, which is considered a relaxation during the journey.

Now Franz ’s convoy is advancing at a speed of thirty kilometers a day, stopping and resting when it rains.If the rain does not exist, he is a good emperor with compassionate subordinates and will not toss people casually.

In terms of reception, the Tsarist government paid great attention to etiquette and strictly followed the emperor ’s standard treatment arrangements. Even if Franz brought a regiment of guards to visit, the Russians did not frown.

On this day, the accompanying Russian representative Count Medvez walked to the carriage and asked: "Your Majesty, the Vistula River is open for navigation. Do you think you should change the waterway?

Change, it must be changed, whoever wants to sit in this carriage, let someone do it!

Franz casually found an excuse to fool: "You make arrangements, we have to hurry!"

...

Soon Franz regretted it. It turned out that it was definitely not enjoyment to take the waterway in this era, especially because he was seasick.

Fortunately, when sailing along the river, and often docking in the port, Franz did not think.It is different after going out to sea. Wind and waves at sea and inland rivers are completely two concepts.

On the first day on the sea, Franz supported it with a strong body. On the second day, he was pale, and on the third day, he began to vomit.

With this vomit, the trip was delayed again, and everyone hurriedly docked at the nearest port.By this time the brigade had arrived in Estonia, not far from St. Petersburg.

There is no way, the emperor's little life is precious, no one dares to have the slightest sloppy.Even if the accompanying doctor knew that this was just the normal reaction of seasickness, he stopped for three days and waited until Franz recovered, before setting off again.

The following itinerary can only be slowed down. Almost every time the port must be docked, Franz rests on the land every night.

Tossing all the way to St. Petersburg, Franz's entire body disappeared.
