Holy Roman Empire

Since entering the era of armored ships, the Austrian navy has been very popular.The constant expansion of the Austrian navy forced European countries to follow.

If it was not for the outbreak of Indian rebellion that contained the energy of the British, the Vienna government had long felt what pressure was.

Everyone in the London government clamored for the three strong standards.(More than the naval tonnage of the second, third and fourth naval powers)

Of course, these people are just saying that. In fact, the British have never done it.

Not to mention the three strong standards now, even the two strong standards, Franz doubts that the British can do it.

The total tonnage of the Fau Navy has added to the Royal Navy.Taking into account the factors of the armored ship, the strength of the Royal Navy has been unable to achieve a depressive advantage over France and Austria.

However, after the Indian rebellion is suppressed, the British should achieve the two strong standards for a long time to come.In the short term, Franz is not ready to explode the navy, so as not to stimulate the sensitive nerves of the British.

It's wrong, it's already stimulated, but I just don't care about it for the time being.

If it wasn't for the Tsarist government's financial resources, Franz was ready to help the Russians explode the navy and stimulate the London government.

This is not contradictory, as long as the British are stimulated, they will invest more money on the armored ships.In fact, these warships are only transitional products, and the more they are built, the greater the loss when they are replaced.

If it were not for the purpose of intervening in the Civil War, Franz would not have so many armored ships come out.In terms of warship performance, these warships will be eliminated soon.

Considering that the arms race may trigger wars, Franz is not ready to make a head start now.Since it is a British-Russian hegemony, of course, the Russians should be allowed to go.

Before unifying the German region, Franz was not prepared to confront the British directly, which would be more than a gain.

...

Washington, the election that determines the fate of the United States is over.Franz ’s butterfly effect did not affect this election, and Republican Abraham Lincoln was elected as the 16th President of the United States by an absolute majority.

The general emergence of the interests of the capitalists in the north has caused panic and hatred among planters in the south.In order to protect their own interests, they began to connect in series.

On December 20, 1860, representatives of Southern Plantation owners held a meeting in South Carolina and decided to withdraw from the Federation.

It also issued a declaration on slavery, welcoming states to withdraw from the Federation and join the newly formed state-the United States Alliance.

When the news reached Europe, it caused a sensation immediately.Franz held the cabinet meeting for the first time to discuss the countermeasures.

Foreign Minister Weisenberg analyzed: "The North-South conflict in the United States has a long history. The results of this election have shown that the planters in the south have completely failed in the political struggle.

In order to protect their own interests, they had to withdraw from the Federation and form a new country.

In terms of US law, these states have the right to withdraw.

But the capitalists in the north will certainly not agree, they also want to obtain cheap industrial raw materials and markets.If these states were to run away, all the efforts they had made would become useless.

Unless the northern government makes a compromise, it is impossible for the planters in the south to go back. Lincoln's appeal is actually just a show.

This North-South split was not only due to the abolition of slavery, but also to the tariffs at the core level.

If Lincoln promises to reduce tariffs on farm products, the determination of the southern plantation owners to become independent may also be shaken.Now both sides can only speak in war.

When the American Civil War broke out, our American colonial strategy was halfway achieved. A divided United States is more in our interest.

However, the overall strength gap between the North and the South is somewhat larger. Only seven states have joined the Southern Government."

There is no need to split the United States. The Vienna government absolutely supports it.Especially after the opening of the Americas strategy, this is even more necessary.

Wendy Schgratz, the interior minister, said calmly: "On the surface, the northern government is indeed stronger.

In fact, not all northern states are willing to participate in this war, and most American people do not want war to break out.Only the public opinion controlled by the capitalists can make the people go to the battlefield.

The southern states are different, they are forced to the dead end.Related to the vital interests, the enthusiasm of the southern people to join the army is much higher.

In the short term, the southern government is more likely to have an advantage in the military; if the war is delayed, then the human advantage in the north will gradually be transformed into military strength.

I think that as long as the commander in the south is smarter, Washington will be taken as soon as the war breaks out, and then negotiations with the northern government will be held.

Anyway, everyone likes to see bad luck in the outbreak. European countries will absolutely support the split of the United States."

Prime Minister Felix questioned: "This is difficult to achieve. From a military perspective, it is indeed possible for the southern government to occupy Washington in the first place.

However, they have no way to prevent the withdrawal of the US government.There are obviously more federal states on the north side, but military actions in the south will stimulate everyone's nerves and let their neutral states join.

The southern government has limited strength. If they cannot beat several states, they will become exhausted.The northern government that has responded to it will still overwhelm the south with its strong strength.

In fact, the crux of the issue is not how the North and the South fight, but that there are more allies on both sides.

There are a total of 35 states in the United States, and 16 in the slave states. Only 7 have declared their independence. The political activities of the two sides are the key to determining the outcome of this war.

If the southern government can draw 16 animal slave states together for independence, and then lobby several states for neutrality, then the strength of both sides will be reduced.

If the strength of the two sides remains the same, with the intervention of European countries, it is not without chance to solve the problem peacefully."

Foreign Minister Weisenberg explained: "My Excellency, this ideal situation may not happen.

The southern government's diplomatic work simply failed, and they didn't know where they gained their confidence. They haven't asked us for help until now.

I have no illusions about how many states they can persuade to join.The capitalists in the north dominate the public opinion. If they do not work hard enough, it is feared that many livestock states will fall to the northern government.

After all, the capitalists in some slave states are not small.If the response is slow, I am afraid that the federal states that were originally inclined to them will also be pulled by the northern government."

What is the self-confidence of the southern government?Of course it is cotton!

In this era, about one-fifth of the British population directly or indirectly depended on cotton textiles for survival, of which 80% were provided by several southern states.

The London government is absolutely impossible to tolerate problems in the cotton supply chain, but they neglected the cotton harvest in 1860, and the cotton backlog in the London market was 50%.

This negligence is very fatal. Many capitalists regard the blockade in the north as a backlog to deal with, and a good opportunity to obtain huge profits.

With the hindsight of these people, plus the impact on the cotton spinning industry is not fatal, the London government is caught in controversy, and did not immediately intervene in the American civil war.

Next, it was difficult to reach an agreement with France and Spain to decide to intervene, and they were put together by the French.Coupled with the public relations of the northern government, the London government was once again hesitant.

After several hesitations, cotton from India and Egypt was planted.British capitalists' interest in the southern government's cotton has diminished, and international intervention has been delayed.

By the time the London government made a decision, the southern government was already powerless.

In the face of the failing diplomatic government of the South, Franz also had a headache.I don't know how to use the advantages that I already have, so I give away the opportunity.

If the southern government is more active, whether it is for strategic needs or for profit, everyone will support them.

In any case, in order to fight against Americans, now Franz can only squeeze his nose to recognize, still have to volunteer to help the southern government.

"The Ministry of Foreign Affairs communicated with Britain and France. We acted together to persuade more animal husbandry states to join the southern government. Presumably they would not mind pitting Americans.

Then find a few newspapers that broke the news: cotton harvest, slow sales, and by the way, highlight the news of soaring cotton production in India, Egypt, West Africa and other regions.

Find a few experts and scholars to analyze the seriousness of the problem, and let the people in power in the southern government wake up to know that their cotton weapons are unreliable."

In addition to cotton, many agricultural products are American fist products, but these things are also produced elsewhere.

Even Franz wondered whether to send someone to burn the British cotton stocks.The idea was just a flash away, mainly because there were too many cotton warehouses, and it was not a few people who could burn them out.

However, most of the cotton in the south has not been shipped out yet. As long as the southern government is vigilant and suspends the cotton transportation in the back, the British government still has to be tied to the southern government ship.

After all, neither India nor Egypt, it takes time to grow cotton, and domestic factories can't wait.

Historically, in the early days of the outbreak of the war, the northern government proposed to intercept this part of the cotton transport fleet and cut off the trade of the southern government.

However, in order not to offend the British, the Lincoln government chose to let it go.Even during the outbreak of the Civil War, the North's blockade of cotton transportation was not strict.

Otherwise, the cotton supply of John Bull was really cut off, and the British had already hit it.

Needless to say, although the British Army did not slap it, it still managed to deal with Americans.

Only the Royal Navy put a blockade on the US coast and sent a bunch of Indian soldiers to kill the northern government.

As for the logistics supply, it is far less terrible than imagined.The most important food can be provided by the southern government, these things are not lacking.

We need to ship weapons and ammunition from the homeland. The consumption of ammunition in this era of war is not large. As the world's largest industrial country, the British can afford it.

To put it bluntly, the northern government has more than 20 million people.As soon as the war broke out, several states were hit by the South.The war potential that the northern government can break out is also limited.

This time the British forces to suppress the Indian rebellion were enough to rewrite the outcome of the Civil War.The American soldiers who were sent to the battlefield just after they picked up the robbery had no fighting power at all.
