Holy Roman Empire

It is not only William I who is having a hard time, but also the tragic one is George I, Emperor of the German Federal Empire.

Because he was supported by the British, he also has the identity of the Duke of Cumberland in the United Kingdom.

From the beginning, the throne of George I was unstable, and the piles of princes of the size below did not bird him at all.Even with the support of the British, he had no way to take the princes.

The elected emperor has the same rights as the medieval emperor of the Holy Roman Empire.Except for the nominal co-owner, his rights are probably left to preside over the Federal Conference.

This is enough, anyway, he is enough to manage Hanover.George I did not expect the following states to obey him.

As a buffer between major powers, as long as the situation in Europe is not broken, the German Federal Empire is still very safe.

What caused him the most headache was that the reputation of the monarch was too low. Many people called the German Federal Empire a "comedy empire" and regarded the empire imposed on them by various countries as a shame.

After all these years, George I has made a lot of efforts and still nothing has changed.

The people do not even agree with this empire, and naturally they will not agree with him as an emperor.

The states within the empire feared that George I would learn Franz and use the pressure of public opinion to gather their rights, and everyone tacitly suppressed his reputation.

George I was terribly wronged, but he didn't do anything, so he was scolded by the people, and the Hanover rule was not so stable.

If he knew that to be this emperor had such serious sequelae, he would rather not have this crown.

It's too late now, and it has become a laughing stock. If it abdicates again, the family reputation will all be taken in.

In order to restore his reputation, in recent years, George I has also worked hard to govern, and he still manages Hanover very well.

Unfortunately, there is no way to compare.The New Holy Roman Empire has also been in the limelight over the years. After three out of five, the presence of the two has been brushed away, and their achievements have been ignored.

In the final analysis, Hanover is only a small country, and no matter how good the governance is, it is only an economic achievement. In politics, he cannot satisfy the people's desire for a big country.

Even if the German Federal Empire is integrated, it is only a medium country with a population of over 10 million. The dream of a big country is really a dream.

Of course, the goal of George I was not so high. It was able to integrate a bunch of small states in the country and turn the German Federal Empire into a medium power. Just like the kingdom of Prussia next door, he was satisfied.

It is not easy to achieve this. Europe is a society that emphasizes law.Nobles and capitalists rely on the law to protect their own interests and undermine the existence of rules, which will be rejected by everyone.

This is the way to solve the domestic state by force of George I. Even if the Hanover Kingdom has this strength, he dare not take action by force.

He did not want to participate in the invitation of the Vienna government to colonize Nanyang.George I did have a backstage. As a chess piece placed on the European continent by the British Empire, it was not necessary to open up a colony with Austria.

The power of the British is not infinite, so they become picky eaters.Where the economic value is low and there is not much strategic value, John Bull has long dismissed it.

These areas can be divided into younger brothers. For details, you can refer to the Netherlands and Portugal, and share some of the sites that John Bull is not interested in.

It is a pity that the German Federal Empire is not George I. Many states and free cities in the country are interested in developing overseas colonies in the Nanyang region.

"Paul, do you think we need to go to the muddy waters of the Nanyang area again?"

As the chief staff of George I, Paul pondered after a while and replied: "Your Majesty, it depends on what you want.

The government of Vienna used a conspiracy. Until now, the fertile land of the world has been basically divided up. Like the high-fat land in the Nanyang region, there are too few unowned.

The Austrians certainly want to attract domestic interest groups to prepare for the reunification of the German region. This is also an opportunity for us.

Although there are a large number of states in the country, their strength is very limited. To open up overseas colonies, everyone can only hold groups to keep warm.

Opening up a colony is inseparable from the navy. Everyone joins together to form a navy. As the central government, we are very likely to take the lead."

George I was tempted to be able to control the navy so the central government is no longer nominal and his emperor also got rid of the embarrassment of rubber stamps.

If he can obtain huge rewards in overseas colonial activities, his reputation as an emperor will surely rise significantly.

No matter whether he can integrate the empire in the end, at least he doesn't have to be scolded every day.Everyone has a share in clearly dividing the German region. Why should he bear the blame alone?

If the states and nations of the nations are determined to merge with Austria, even Britain and France cannot stop it.

George I said with some hesitation: "This is probably not easy. Even if the colony is successfully opened, the distribution of benefits will be a problem."

Paul said confidently: "Your Majesty, you only have trouble when you have a chance. When there is a contradiction between the states, you will not join hands with you.

Only by disintegrating and disintegrating the alliance of states, can you truly control the empire."

The word "Empire" always felt harsh in George I's mind, but as an emperor, he still yearned for power.

As for the threat from Austria, the two did not mention it tacitly.Unlike William I, George I never expected to be able to use force against Austria.

The German Federal Empire was originally a country in need, and its own strength was limited. The best way to survive was to act as a buffer between the big powers.As long as the European continent is not alone, they are safe.

Under this concept, the arms of the Kingdom of Hanover hardly developed, and the economy has moved to the forefront of Europe, and it has become a set of inverse contrasts with the Kingdom of Prussia.

Vienna Palace

Foreign Minister Weisenberg said: "Your Majesty, Prussia and the German Confederation have accepted our invitation and we can start the next step."

Hearing this news, Franz directly took out a map of the Nanyang region, which was cleanly marked with the sphere of influence of each country.

"What do you think is suitable for them?"

Since it is a bait, it is natural to be without oil and water.Otherwise, people's ambitions will not be easily squandered.

As long as the first colony is earned, there is no need for Franz to continue to intervene. Under the effect of interests, they will go further and further on the colonial road.

Foreign Minister Weisenberg proposed: "Your Majesty, let the German Federation colonize Malaysia, let the Kingdom of Prussia colonize Sumatra or Indochina, should be a good choice."

There is no doubt that this arrangement is also meaningful.Do n’t look at these areas as being landless. In fact, the British have set their sights on Malaysia, but there is no effort to eat them yet.

If Austria occupies Malaysia, it will threaten the security of Singapore. John Bull will definitely not agree to the Strait of Malacca. It will be different if the German Federal Empire is changed.

The small country has no threats and is also the younger brother of the British.John Bull has a great chance of leaving it alone. After all, they have too many colonies, which cannot be taken care of.

Even if it was British interference, Austria would not suffer any losses.Instead, the conflict can be used to alienate the relationship between the British and the German Federal Empire.

Letting the Prussian choose Sumatra or Indochina also has a political purpose.

The former Dutch have been eyeing it. As early as more than a decade ago, the United Kingdom and the Netherlands made an agreement that the Sumatra island belongs to the Dutch, and they are regarded as giving up the compensation of the Strait of Malacca.

Once the Prussians robbed Sumatra, the relationship between Pokhara and Dutch must be over.For Sumatra, the Dutch have fought several wars and have occupied part of the island's territory.

The Indochina peninsula seems to have no owner. In fact, the French have been eyeing this, but the Paris government is now busy annexing the Kingdom of Sardinia and has not taken any action.

Once the Prussians entered the Indochina Peninsula, they laid another nail into the future Franco-Prussian conflict.Unless the Prussians open up, they can rely on the Indo-China Peninsula before the French act.

Franz nodded in satisfaction, and then asked: "The bait is good, but they can see these questions, how can they be fooled?"

Foreign Minister Weisenberg explained: "Your Majesty, this is originally a conspiracy. There are British and French tentacles all over the world. You can't let everyone give up because they may be interested?

Now both Britain and France are very busy, which is a good opportunity to get started.Just do a good job of keeping secrets, and wait for them to discover that the established facts have been caused.

The interests are touching, we can arrange for people to advocate and let them know that this is a risk that overseas colonies must bear."

Franz nodded and expressed his approval.

There are frequent conflicts between overseas colonies of various countries, such as: British, Portuguese, South African conflicts, British, French, Dutch, South African conflicts, British, French, Australian conflicts, British, French, Western, African, and African conflicts ...

There are a lot of ready-made examples. In these conflicts, the final victory is not necessarily a powerful country. At least the Dutch dominate the Nanyang region.

Moreover, these conflicts will not erupt immediately.The French are still making final efforts to annex the Kingdom of Sardinia, and the British are trying to divide the United States.

After they are busy, they have the energy to consider the Nanyang area.Such a long time is enough for Prussia and the German Federation to open the first colony.

After eating the first piece of meat, the capitalists and nobles who had obtained the benefits would push the two countries toward the colonial empire.

But soon they will find that the world has been divided up almost, and the rest is cold.

However, these soups are cold, they have no strength to capture.Stimulated by interests, the dream of a great power will once again become the mainstream of society.
