Holy Roman Empire

The Vienna Conference was opened, and delegations from all over the world joined together to show their magical powers.

Russia and France attempted to divide up the remaining land in the Balkan Peninsula. John Bull, who was left behind, was naturally not reconciled, and pulled the Ottoman Empire in a posture of not hesitating to fight.

The threat of the British, the Russians are fearless.Anyway, they had Constantinople in their hands to block the Bosphorus. Once the two sides turned their faces, the British navy fleet in the Black Sea was shut down and beaten.

The bears with hostages are full of confidence. As a land-powered country, the British are offended. The big bears with great resources can be spared.

The French government hesitated first. This was not because Napoleon III was afraid of fighting the British. In fact, it was for this reason that it was impossible for the two sides to have a war.

If they really fight, the French navy is not without the power of a battle, maybe they can't win the Royal Navy, but the Royal Navy can still be injured.

It is impossible for the London government to bet on such high-risk gambling.It is too easy to explode the navy in the era of sail warships, and there will be no winners as a result of shopping between the two great powers.

Mainly in terms of interests, anyone who is a neighbor to the Mao Xiong will be afraid of a three-pointer. Napoleon III wants to take advantage and not take risks.

France monopolizes Macedonia, Albania, Thrace, Epirus and other regions. It seems to be profitable. In fact, after this war, the economy of the Balkan Peninsula has long collapsed.

The destruction of wars, the influx of refugees, the plague, so many things are added together, the population on the Balkan Peninsula is directly reduced by a third, and the young labor force is rare.

The Balkan Peninsula, which was originally a piece of fat, has now been degreased.If you want to restore social order, you must invest a lot of resources.

Simply put, this income is not enough to make the French take risks.If it were not for political needs, Napoleon III would not be interested in the territory of the Balkan Peninsula.

"Everyone, it's not a way to continue this kind of quarrel, it's better to separate the spheres of influence and discuss them again!" Metternich suggested.

After finishing talking, first marked the Austrian control area on the map with a pen, and then handed the map to the Russian representative Karl-Osser.

There is nothing to hesitate. Karl Worsell circled his expected goal on the map. Russia and Austria have agreed that the sphere of influence of the two sides does not occur.

The French followed, drawing out his sphere of influence. When the British were in turn, Thomas was dumbfounded.

Good guys, the Three Kingdoms point to the map, and the Balkan Peninsula is divided.Even the islands with missing nets are in the hands of the Ottoman Empire, so they cannot bully their allies like the British.

As soon as he had a chance, Thomas felt he still had to do something, and he couldn't let the enemy do so easily.

As for the ally of the Ottoman Empire, it is a pity that it can only be sacrificed. It is just the wishes of all European people, including the British people, and Thomas cannot go upstream.

"Three people, the people on the Balkan peninsula have been enslaved by the Ottoman Empire for so many years, and now they are back in the arms of the civilized world. We should help them build their country independently. How can we continue to enslave them?

If such inhumane things happen, how will countries around the world see us?What will the international community think?"

Metternich rolled his eyes, and the four of them could represent the international community.If only one country has made a check, it may be condemned by European countries, and the four families will keep it together to keep everyone shut up.

In this day and age, there is no one in the world who dares to be the enemy of the four countries of Britain, France, Russia, and Austria at the same time. Even if the remaining countries are tied together, they are not opponents of the four.

"Mr. Thomas is worried, how can we enslave the people on the Balkans?

You know that the people of the Balkans have been under the bloody rule of the Ottoman Empire for a long time, and many people have been poisoned by the barbaric world. We are helping them return to the civilized world.

According to the information we collected, the cultural heritage on the Balkans has been severely damaged. Now the people on the island are either the accomplices of the Ottoman Empire's suppression of the people.

Either a group of illiterates or traitors in a civilized world. Isn't it a joke to let them build their country independently?

It is still the best choice for us to supervise and guide the local people back to the civilized world, and to prevent the tragedy from continuing."

The Black Ottoman Empire is also politically correct. For hundreds of years, the Ottoman Empire, even a savage endorsement, has deeply penetrated the hearts of every European.

Of course, the notoriety of the Ottoman Empire is also true. In history, they have really done a lot of angry and complaining things. Metternich can find a lot of evidence to prove their barbarism.

If these things are not exposed, then nothing happens. Once they are taken out, whether it happened a hundred years ago or what happened two hundred years ago is a proof of sin.

In any case, it is not in vain. The morality of the experts in this era has not been lost, and they have not been able to do the work of washing the Ottoman Empire.

As a politician, Thomas is even more afraid to defend the Ottomans on this issue, otherwise the British people will not spare him.

People who have inherited culture and knowledge on the Balkans are basically dependent on the Ottoman Empire. Even if they did not become traitors, their ancestors also became traitors.

From this perspective, the unified division of these people into the remnants of the Ottoman Empire is barely justifiable.

Thomas did not struggle here, and directly proposed: "Mr. Metternich is right. Since that is the case, let us help them to return to the civilized world as far as the international condominium is concerned.

When they are brought back to the civilized world, they are looking for a suitable time to allow the people on the Balkan Peninsula to build an independent country and contribute to the civilized world."

After listening to Thomas ’proposal, the French representative Auvergne was obviously a little moved, but the Russians reacted more intensely.

Carl Worsell slapped it on the table and said angrily: "This is impossible! The people of the Balkans are suffering from Ottoman tea poison and must be supervised by us before they can return to the civilized world."

Looking at the furious Carl Worsell, Metternich rubbed his forehead. Obviously, this military-born foreign minister has not yet adapted to the role of a diplomat.

Beating people in the negotiations, it seems that the Russians really did it.

In order to avoid the deterioration of the negotiations, Metternich had to open his siege and immediately asked Thomas: "There are many ethnic groups in the Balkan Peninsula, and no unified state has been established since the Byzantine Empire. Is it Mr. Thomas, do you want to rebuild the Byzantine Empire? "

What international joke is there to rebuild the Byzantine Empire?The nationalists in Greece foolishly shouted slogans. Who can tolerate the reconstruction of the Byzantine Empire?

After being questioned, Thomas explained that his face did not change: "Mr. Metternich misunderstood and let the people of the Balkan Peninsula build the country independently, only to help the local people return to the civilized world.

The Byzantine Empire has long since perished. How can we think about rebuilding?"

Metternich sneered and said, "There is no best, otherwise the world will not be peaceful again. I don't think it is necessary to discuss the issue of the independent establishment of the Balkans.

People in Serbia, Wallachia, Moldavia, Bosnia and Herzegovina and other regions have already joined Austrian citizenship, and they are all people of the motherland!"

Inspired Russian Foreign Minister Karl Vosser immediately said: "We have already granted citizenship to people in Bulgaria and Constantinople, so I don't worry about Mr. Thomas."

Regardless of whether there is nationality or not, this excuse is used by Carl Worsell first, and the big thing is to go back and make up.

Anyway, no matter how Thomas exerts his means, it is impossible for the Austrians and the Russians to come out and build an independent state, which means that both sides must tear their faces.

Continue to start on the French territory?This thought passed away, and Thomas did not want Russia and France to hold the group. As soon as this combination appeared, they were able to take the world as an ally and couldn't resist.

Would you like to divide a piece of land in the Balkan Peninsula?After looking at the map, Thomas decided not to border these land rights countries.

Auvergne, who has been paddling, suddenly changed the topic: "The most important thing in the Balkan Peninsula is the Black Sea Fleet. Most of the international disputes are centered around this.

For the sake of world peace and stability, I propose that the international co-administration of the Dardanelles Strait, the Bosphorus Strait, and the coastal port cities all become free ports, and all countries should not deploy any weapons.

No matter what period of time, governments of all countries guarantee the free navigation of the straits, and shall not set any restrictions or collect navigation tax."

After thinking about it, everyone agreed, but Carl Worsell had some pain, but considering the actual situation, even if they wanted to collect the air fare, they did not receive it in the end, he agreed.

They can collect taxes in the Bosphorus, and Britain and France can collect taxes at the door of the Dardanelles. When the merchant ships dare not pass through, the golden waterway will be abandoned.

Solving the waterway problem, Thomas was too lazy to continue to struggle with the Balkan Peninsula.The three countries of Russia, France and Austria share the Balkan Peninsula. Isn't it a balance?

Once the Russians rushed out of the Black Sea, the French bear the brunt, and Austria also cannot tolerate the Russians' continued expansion.

Although they did not get actual benefits in the Near East War, they still succeeded strategically, using the new international order to block the Russians in the Black Sea.

After solving the problem of the Near East War, the four countries of Britain, France, Russia and Austria signed the "Convention of the Four Countries", which redefined the sphere of influence of each country in the form of a treaty.

After the signing of the treaty, the four governments jointly issued a statement: The four will jointly maintain peace and stability on the European continent and combat any violation of the rules.

With the conclusion of the Vienna Peace Conference, a new international order was once again established. Except for the free navigation of the Black Sea Strait, all countries have the benefit of the actual control zone.

The Ottoman Empire became the biggest loser. Due to its lack of strength to maintain the rule of the Balkan Peninsula, it had to sell Macedonia, Thrace, Albania, and the Gallipoli peninsula to the French for 200 million francs .

The French and the Ottoman Empire are allies. They must pay attention to eating and have to pay for it.Austria and Russia are welcome, as Ottoman's old enemy, they naturally swallowed the territory they occupied.

The Principality of Montenegro estimates that it is unclear whether it was a loss or a profit this time.Although they were rushed back to their hometown by the British, with the support of Russia and Austria, their territory doubled and they succeeded in winning the estuary.

The doubled territory is actually more than 10,000 square kilometers, and there is no grand duchy of Montenegro yet.There is no way, who makes them local small?

For this newly added area of ​​more than 5,000 square kilometers, the youth of the Principality of Montenegro has lost half. The original local population has fallen by 23%. After the newly occupied land, the national population has only exceeded 200,000.

The biggest winner on the bright side, the Russian Empire, was silently licking the wound at this time.Despite getting Constantinople, it was just the scenery on the surface.

Both the Bulgarian region and the Constantinople region were damaged by the fighting, and the local economy collapsed directly.

In particular, the city of Constantinople was directly turned into ruins, and more than two-thirds of the buildings in the city were damaged to varying degrees.

Of course, it may also be a good thing, just to demolish and rebuild, remove the traces left by the Ottoman Empire, and shape the glory of the Russian Empire.If you don't consider finances, it should be so.

Counting the casualties, the Russians ca n’t laugh, and the Russians in the Balkans have paid the cost of 600,000 deaths. With the Crimean and Caucasus battlefields, the total number of Russians killed and disabled Nine hundred thousand.

Unless Constantinople was won, the political gains would smooth out all this, and Nicholas I really did not know how to end.

In the same way, the British and French who took part in the battle did not find cheap. The French army killed 210,000 people and disabled 45,000 people. The British army killed 78,000 people and disabled 11,000 people.

This data is added to the losses caused by the plague and disease, otherwise this data can be reduced by one third.Anyway, non-combat loss, it did not exceed combat loss.

As for the Ottoman Empire, their loss is a mystery. The Sudanese government does not know how to count. Anyway, the millions of troops they formed before and after were destroyed.

The Balkans have all been lost, and many soldiers are getting bigger and stronger. If they break up, they are really gone. Don't expect these people to come back to the team.

If the jar is broken, the Sudanese government will not care.The capital is lost and the core area of ​​rule is lost. Why should there be more and more troubles for casualties?
