Holy Roman Empire

At the end of 1862, the assassination case that lasted for several years finally came to an end. After all the evidence was combined, the black hand pointed to the Sardinian government.

Believe it or not, the Paris government believed it anyway, and the Vienna government accepted this explanation.

The Sardinian government's protests were ignored, and before the assassination broke out, the Sardinian government secretly provided the charcoal burning party with funds, which became the most favorable evidence to prove them.

The most important thing is that there are still witnesses in the hands of the French. The arrested suspects confessed to the assassination and stood up to testify against the Sardinian government.

The former government prime minister, Gafur, was also imprisoned, and if he was unlucky, he might be sent to the gallows.

The Prime Minister and the high-level government were directly sacked, and King Vittorio Emanuele II was also to blame, and announced his abdication two days ago.

There is no need to elaborate on the subsequent interest transactions. In short, the French have paid a great price to make all countries acquiesce.

Franz said in surprise: "So the British sold the Kingdom of Sardinia?"

Originally, he thought that around the Kingdom of Sardinia, Britain and France would have a dragon fight, but he did not expect the London government to compromise so quickly.

Foreign Minister Weisenberg explained: "Your Majesty, we defaulted on the actions of the French, the Russians were too busy with internal reforms, and were unwilling to participate in Italian affairs, and the British were powerless to interfere.

Anyway, the European balance has not been broken. Even if the French annexed the Kingdom of Sardinia, they still could not change the three-legged continental pattern.

The French also made up for losses in the interests of the British.The investigation of the suspect's property was almost enough to repay the British loan.

Now the obstacles for the French to annex the Kingdom of Sardinia have basically been cleared, and now it is up to the Paris government when to start."

Franz sneered and said, "So is Napoleon III ready to win the throne by election?"

The reason for not looking at the French seems very good, but unfortunately these are not enough to legally annex the Kingdom of Sardinia.

Conspiracy to plot the case of assassination of the prince, no fault in pursuing the responsibility of the master, and the Vienna government is also pursuing it.But as a result of annexation of the Kingdom of Sardinia, we must first ask the Sardinians if they would like to.

In particular, the abdication of Vittorio Emanuele II was a political failure. Even if it was a swap of territories, it would be nice to eat.

There are so many overseas colonies in France. It is better to throw a name to Vittorio Emanuele II than to oust him.

Election to the throne by the people is the lowest legal method.To put it bluntly, one day the public is unhappy with him, and he can be let off in the same way.

Weissenberg replied: "From the information we collected, the French are indeed preparing for the election."

Franz calmly said: "Then help them, let us bury the nails also support Napoleon III as King Sardinia, to give him momentum in public opinion."

It is very important whether the Kingdom of Sardinia directly joined France, or that Napoleon III also served as King of Sardinia.

In the former case, the Sardinian people will certainly not agree.In fact, this is in the best interest of France.Only after experiencing short-term pains can we ensure that the Kingdom of Sardinia will not go out independently.

It's just that it's so ugly, it's a bit ugly to eat. Anyway, they have reached this step, and it's difficult for them to look good.Either do n’t do it, do it.

In the latter case, France is expected to be strong forever and to suppress the Kingdom of Sardinia forever.Once there is a little bit of trouble in France, everyone is going to be independent.

The Italians don't think they and France are a family, and the so-called ruling foundation simply does not exist.Napoleon III had no way to buy off the people at the bottom and agree with his rule.

Although Napoleon is awesome, it is a pity that the Napoleon family is too shallow, and the legacy of political heritage is not enough for Napoleon III to realize his political ambitions.

In this respect, Franz knows well that Austria ’s smooth expansion in Europe is largely a political legacy left by the Habsburg dynasty.

Opening the history book, many regions of Europe have been ruled by the Habsburg dynasty for hundreds of years.Even if it is over, he can hold high the banner of the restoration of the dynasty, even if a little bit of legal basis exists.

Without the political legacy of the ancestors, who would buy his account in the German state?The same is true of the Austrian Italian region, which is orthodox legally.

Orthodox has both the East and the West, and many man-made countermeasures in the East hold high the banner of the past.Not because of how many supporters can be obtained, mainly to prove that they are not chaotic parties, they have orthodoxy.

There is a great righteousness called the hegemony of the world, and no great righteousness is a rash thief.In the end, basically everything was done for the hegemony. I have n’t heard that the rash thief sat in the world.

"Those who haven't sought the whole world since ancient times are not enough to seek for a while, and those who do not seek the overall situation are not enough to seek a country."

This is Franz ’s motto, always reminding himself to be vigilant.

...

On January 15, 1863, with the support of the Confederacy Government, the Indiana region of the central region declared its independence.

This area was the area where the American government placed Indians. From 1830 to 1840, dozens of tribes were expelled to this area.

The federal government has not yet effectively ruled the area, because there is little white residents in the area because of hatred. In the history of 1889, a large number of white talents poured in.

The war has continued until now, and the two sides are competing for comprehensive national strength.In order to win the war, the southern government had to draw more allies.

Anyway, they are all independent and betray the interests of the federal government to buy up allies. They have no pressure.

In order to attract the Indians to the war, the Confederate government provided 50,000 rifles, one hundred artillery, and some ammunition to the newly independent Indian emirate.

After getting the weapon, the Indians began the road of revenge.Kansas became the first victim.

Originally, they were beaten and beaten by the Southern Army of Missouri. They were suddenly stabbed by the Indians and collapsed across the board in an instant.

The Indians, vengeful with blood, launched the most vengeful revenge, and the blood killed in the area ran into rivers.

It is not just this battlefield. Now that the war is in progress, both the North and the South have already killed their red eyes.Some areas have become killed for killing, and civilians have become the biggest victims.

The war zones of Ohio, Maryland, Kentucky, and Virginia have all been reduced to human hell.

The nature of war has changed. After the propaganda of both governments, hatred has become one of the main factors supporting war.

The countries that were originally planning to intervene were stunned by the madness of the Americans and chose to stop and watch.

Do n’t get me wrong, everyone is not scared.The main reason is to want the Americans to continue to kill each other and consume each other's strength.

To this end, both the British and Austrian countries are handing over diplomacy to the southern government. Roaming Indians is one of them.

...

In New York, President Lincoln did not dare to look directly at the casualty reports submitted by the federal government.

With the joining of the Indians, Kansas has lost 70,000 federal troops and almost all of them have been annihilated. The civilian casualties are more than 300,000. The rest have become war refugees and fled into the western region.

He couldn't understand what that meant.The scope of the war was once again expanded, the flames of war broke into the central region, and the political and military pressures of the federal government increased further.

If the Federation can no longer gain an advantage, it is estimated that many federal states will withdraw from this war for their own safety.In the face of life and death, no interest matters.

The painting cake is beautiful, but also let everyone see the hope of eating.Otherwise, the position of capitalists who support the federal government will also be shaken.

At least the capitalists in Kansas are lost in their lives, and many people have lost their lives.The capitalists in the front-line warring states have also become losers in this reshuffle.

Regardless of whether the federal government can win, they have been eliminated.

If it were not for the southern government ’s lack of diplomatic capabilities, the British and Austrian countries hoped to see the war continue and deliberately biased them. At least a few states have now withdrawn from the war.

"One turnip, one stick" is the most correct operation. If the southern government did not put the target on the northern government from the beginning, but a state-by-state political attack, it is estimated that neighboring states will now choose neutrality.

With regard to the entire federal government, the Confederacy has no certainty of victory, but if it is to deal with one or several federal states, then it does not matter.

Capitalists who tend to be powerful tend to choose neutrality for their own benefit.Especially after the tragedy in Kansas, everyone knew that the federal government was unable to protect their safety.

President Lincoln said to himself: "Now that the civil war has progressed, our casualties have exceeded three million?"

The Secretary of State outside the door replied: "Not yet, but maybe it will be next week. The total number of military casualties in the federal government is 1.768 million, of which 456,000 are killed in war; civilian casualties are 1.182 million, of which 382,000 are killed."

(Remarks: Casualties are calculated according to the number of injuries. In theory, it is possible for a soldier to be injured dozens of times.)

Lincoln sighed and said: "If the casualties of the rebels are added, the population loss we have paid for this war may have exceeded 1.5 million."

Obviously, he regretted starting this war.Not only Lincoln, many Americans regret it.If everyone knew that war would be so cruel, everyone would compromise with each other before the war broke out.

Although the interests of the capitalists and the plantation owners cannot be reconciled, the capitalists and plantation owners in the warring states are different.

The interests of the class are not equal to their own interests. Selling the class for their own benefit has no pressure on the capitalists.

Secretary of State Safar thought about it and said: "It depends on how it is calculated. If we consider immigration and immigration that have been reduced due to the civil war, this loss may increase by another million.

No, it cannot be said to be an immigrant.In fact, our total immigration has not decreased much.It's just that white immigrants have decreased, and Asian and black immigrants are increasing."

The increase in black immigration is actually forced.A large number of young and strong entered the army, resulting in a shortage of labor in all walks of life.

Now is the time of war, immigrants from various European countries simply do not come.In desperation, everyone can only introduce labor from the outside, and the increase in colored immigrants becomes inevitable.

Lincoln nodded and said: "No wonder there are more and more black soldiers in the army. It seems that many people have replaced them with military service."

Not everyone is willing to go to the battlefield, especially the capitalists on the rich side, even more excluded.In this capitalist country, the federal government naturally cannot force the capitalists to serve.

Hiring people for military service solves this problem perfectly. The federal government acquires soldiers and the capitalists complete military service.

Secretary of State Safar said frowningly: "My Excellency President, I don't think you need to care about these minor details.

Our big trouble is about to come. Next week's Congress question, how do you deal with it?"

Strategically, the federal government has blocked the offensive of the southern government, defended the core area of ​​the Great Lakes, and saved Washington, and has achieved a staged victory.

Although Kansas is located in the center of the United States, it is geographically: Flint Hills in the east, Smokey Hills and Red Hills in the west, and the Sunflower Hill near the Colorado border.

The southern government has mastered this, and there is no way to march to the west. Missouri in the east has already joined the southern government, and there is no need to worry.

A tactical failure has little effect on the overall situation.President Lincoln was able to sit back and think about the future.

If the state of Pennsylvania fell, he would not be able to do it.

Lincoln said indifferently: "The matter is here, what is there to be afraid of. Even if I am willing to step down immediately, someone will be willing to take this mess."

It is impossible for Congress to chase us down before the end of the war.In case the federal government loses the war and splits the Federation, we still need to bear it."

This is not about breaking the jar, but that he really understands American politics.The current situation is still very unfavorable to the federal government. The possibility of the federal government splitting is very high, and no one is willing to bear the charge of federal splitting.

Judging from the current situation, even if this war is won, it is also a big trouble to deal with the southern states after the war.No matter who sits in this position, the ending will not be wonderful.
