Holy Roman Empire

355 Diplomatic Change

In Saint Petersburg, the later tsarist government also reacted.There is no doubt that this is someone who wants to engage them.

The Russian empire, which won the Near East War and captured Constantinople, seems to be infinitely beautiful, in fact, it has also brought hatred to full value.

The losers of Britain and France are unwilling to fail and always want to get revenge; the European countries, as the people who eat melons, also worry that Russia will be powerful and threaten its own security.

This was caused by everyone's intentional or unintentional push, which created the current situation.Every house leaked out of the nail, and the Polish independent organization became bigger.

In the Winter Palace

Alexander II roared: "When are the bastards, the great Russian empire, it's their turn!"

The diplomatic interference of various countries has already inspired the anger of His Majesty the Tsar.They have always interfered in the internal affairs of others. When did anyone dare to interfere in their internal affairs?

As for whether the Polish issue is considered an internal affair of Russia, should this issue be considered?As long as it is occupied by the tsarist government, it is Russia ’s territory, and it does not matter whether the outside world accepts it.

No one dared to provoke the angry tsar, and everyone watched tacitly as Alexander II vented his anger.

...

"The rebel army has started, I will hang these traitors!" Alexander II gritted his teeth.

Hearing the inquiry of Alexander II, everyone knew that His Majesty the Tsar had recovered.

Army Minister Matthias replied: "One hundred thousand rebellious troops have already departed from the Baltic Sea and will enter the Polish region to suppress the rebellion the day after tomorrow."

The Polish independents were not taken care of by everyone.If the Russian Empire was so fragile, it would have been corpse.

Alexander II continued to ask, "What did the Austrians say, did you give a reasonable explanation?"

Foreign Minister Clarence-Ivanov replied: "The Government of Vienna stated that it was unaware of these issues. They believed that this was the hand of Britain and France and intended to provoke relations between the two countries.

They provided information on some of the rebels. Many people are not permanent residents of Austria, but have entered Austria in recent years and have records of serving in the British and French troops."

There is no doubt that most of these materials are forged.In order to get rid of the responsibility, the Vienna government does not mind letting Britain and France go back on their heads. Anyway, this era is difficult to find out.

This answer is undoubtedly difficult for the tsarist government to accept, but they have to accept it.Supporting them among the powers leaves Austria. Ca n’t they turn allies into enemies because of this problem?

Alexander II asked angrily: "So Prussia, should Britain and France also provoke relations between the two countries?"

Do n’t look at him as a pro-general. In the face of national interests, this position can change at any time.

Foreign Minister Clarence replied: "No, the Berlin government said that all people act spontaneously and have nothing to do with them.

In order to prevent this from happening later, the Berlin government announced the expulsion of the nationality of these people and left us to dispose of it."

This explanation is more nonsense than what the Vienna government said.The Berlin government also had no choice. They provided greater support to Polish independent organizations and could not cover it up.

Russia-Australia relations have been very good in recent decades. The Vienna government has a thicker skin and just buckled the shit pots on the heads of Britain and France. Prussia will not.Originally, the relationship between the two countries was not good, and there was no need for provocation.

Moreover, Prussia is preparing to attack Denmark, even if the tsarist government is now repaired, it is useless.

After a moment of contemplation, Alexander II put things together, nothing more than European countries did not want to see Russia complete its reforms and become stronger.

Knowing the truth, Alexander II calmed down.

"Regardless of any reaction from the outside world, the Polish rebellion must be suppressed. The work of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs must be worked hard, and the European continent has become an enemy of Russia. Where are our allies?

It is impossible to rely on Austria for everything.When there is a conflict of interest between the two countries one day, or the Vienna government feels that this alliance cannot bring them benefits, it will be too late to find a way!"

The Russian Empire needs new allies to change its diplomatic passive state.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Foreign Secretary Clarence replied wryly.

This is not that they don't work hard, but now that Russia really can't find a suitable ally.Geopolitics has determined that countries on the European continent naturally oppose them.

Unless the Tsarist government abandons its European strategy, it will never expand in the European region.Otherwise, such conflicts are inevitable.

No European country wants to see the Russian Empire continue to grow, and a strong Russia threatens everyone ’s survival.

The deterioration of relations between Russia and Russia is not only due to the Danish problem, but also because the tsarist government wants to expand in Europe. Franz just pierced this layer of window paper.

Feeling that his own security was threatened, the Kingdom of Prussia had to move closer to Britain and France.The growth of the anti-Russian faction is because Russia and Austria divided the sword of Damocles in the Kingdom of Prussia.

...

The inability to break through the European continent provided favorable conditions for the United States and Russia to move closer.In the autumn of 1864, the tsarist government sent a naval fleet to visit the United States.

This is not the best choice, but it is the only choice for the Tsarist government and the US Federation.It was normal for two isolated people to choose a group to keep warm.

Franz ’s butterfly effect only dragged the United States and Russia closer for two years.

The tsarist government tried to use the federal government to disperse the energy of European countries and ease their diplomatic pressure on the European continent; while the federal government hoped to obtain Russian support to offset the pressure caused by some powers.

In late 1864, at a critical moment when the American Civil War was about to win or lose, the Russians stood on the side of the northern government, injecting a certain amount of stimulant into the federal government that moved to New York.

...

The West Coast of the United States is still in the development stage in this era.Even the well-known "California" of later generations is just now in its infancy, far behind the East Coast states.

After the outbreak of the American Civil War, the main naval forces of the federal government were concentrated on the east coast.This is not the partiality of the Lincoln government, but entirely caused by the actual situation.

In this era, the shipbuilding industry in the United States was concentrated on the east coast, and the shipbuilding industry on the west coast was backward and did not have the ability to build warships.

After the outbreak of the civil war, the warships of the Federal Navy were never adequate.The war zone between the north and the south is on the east coast. Because of the intervention of the powers, the federal navy failed to gain an advantage, and the federal government naturally had no ability to send warships to reinforce the west coast.

Of course, the navy of the southern government did not appear on the west coast. The enemies facing the western coastal states were private squadrons, in other words, legal pirates.

After the outbreak of the civil war, both the North and the South issued private piracy permits in order to crack down on each other's maritime transport.

Because there are fewer islands on the west coast of the Pacific Ocean and pirates lack supply points, the west coast of the United States is relatively peaceful.

In addition to being occasionally attacked by pirates who make temporary guest appearances, most of the time they stay away from the threat of war.Until a few months ago, the situation changed and suddenly more pirates on the West Coast.

Rampant pirates once captured the Channel Islands, dozens of miles away from California, and often attacked coastal ports, making the west coast states miserable.

Everyone knows that the base of pirates is in the Mexican Empire.The two countries have long been enemies, and the Mexican government has no trouble bringing them trouble at this time.

Do n’t think about killing pirates, the civil war federal government has been fighting very hard. If you start a foreign war again, you ca n’t take care of it.

No matter how weak Mexico is, it ’s not something the West Coast states can eat.Apart from diplomatic protests, the federal government can do very little.

In this context, the Russian Far East Fleet visited San Francisco and killed a pirate ship.The Russian fleet was immediately warmly welcomed by the people of California, threatened by pirates.

Originally for the purpose of pulling the relationship, Major General Popov, a few glasses of wine, was touted without knowing the southeast and northwest, and vaguely made a promise to fight pirates.

He does not mean that.

It was not just Americans who attended the banquet. Ministers from various countries in California also appeared at the banquet.Despite everyone's suspicion of deflection in the civil war, Americans in diplomatic etiquette still have to obey.

After the banquet, the British representative appeared in the Austrian Embassy in California.

"Carter, don't you think the Russians are too arrogant? With these few broken ships, they still have to fight pirates. I think it's almost the same to fight pirates!"

The Russian Far East Fleet did n’t have a few ships, not to mention only a part of it. It ’s no surprise that they wo n’t win the pirates. After all, this is not an ordinary pirate.

If someone with an intention investigates it, they will find that the pirates are from the South and Indian Ocean regions.Appearing on the west coast, someone must have manipulated it.

The main reason for this happening is still because of interests.Pirate robbery also needs to sell stolen goods, and there are naturally interests in it.

Perhaps many people think that pirates who get nothing for nothing are profiteering industries. In fact, it is really profiteering to master the sales base.

The same commodity enters the selling point at a price of up to three or four floors, and it is not the pirate that earns the greatest benefit, but the channel for selling money behind the scenes.

It is obviously not that simple to open such a channel in Mexico.If there is no gang of umbrellas, it is estimated that they have been destroyed by the navies of various countries.

There is no doubt that Rhodes was pulled into the water.When the Russians want to fight against pirates, they are cutting off his money.

To test Austria's attitude is nothing more than to worry that the Austrian fleet of Central America will take the lead for the Russians.The Russians could not just be killed by the forefoot, and more trouble was caused in the back.

The Austrian representative Carter said very cooperatively: "There is no way, maybe the Russians have always been so arrogant. Maybe they want to make a fortune by fighting pirates.

You know, in recent months, pirates have looted tens of millions of dollars, even if only one-tenth of it is left, it is a huge sum of money."

Just about to say, there is money to handle things.As long as the benefits are in place, even if the entire Russian fleet is annihilated, it does not matter.

It is true that Russia and Austria are allies, but it does not mean that there is no conflict in the interests of Russia and Austria.For example, now: Austria supports the government of the South, and the Russians support the government of the North. The two sides are on the opposite side.

When this happens, in order to avoid affecting the relations between the two countries, everyone naturally has to avoid each other.Carter and the Russian representatives had no contact except the courtesy.

In fact, this also shows the position that on the issue of the Americas, Russia cannot get help from Austria.

The British attacked the Russian fleet not only on the surface.Speaking privately, that's because of personal damage; to publicly speaking, this is to get rid of the arrogance of the Russians.

When the outbound visiting fleet was fighting pirates, it was killed by the pirates.Once this happens, the tsarist government must be ridiculed for at least two decades.

The diplomatic support brought to the northern government by the Russian team will also be wiped out.
