359 The Second Breakdown of the Vienna System

The sudden outbreak of the Putin War instantly made the situation in Europe severe.

The Danish government requires all countries to intervene in the war in accordance with the Putin Armistice Treaty and the agreements reached by the countries of the Vienna System and sanction the rule-breaking Kingdom of Prussia.

In theory, the request of the Danish government was supported, and the Kingdom of Prussia was jointly suppressed by European countries, and even had to pay huge amounts of war compensation or punishment.

Undoubtedly, the complex relationship between the four countries of Britain, France, Russia and Austria, the demands of the Danes are difficult to meet.

...

After a lesson from the Near East War, isolationism prevailed within the British government, and they advocated avoiding involvement in European disputes as much as possible.

The Downing Street Prime Minister ’s Mansion is discussing how the London government should act in the face of the changing situation in Europe.

Foreign Minister Raistlin analyzed: "The Prussians suddenly provoked the Pudan War, mainly because the pressure from the three countries of Russia, France and Austria was too great.

At the same time, it is bordered by three major powers, and the mainland is separated. The Berlin government has always had a strong sense of worry, fearing that it will be divided by the three countries if it is not careful.

As early as the 1853 Paris conference, when we divided the German region, we proposed that the Kingdom of Prussia and the German Federal Empire exchange land. As a result, the two sides were too different to succeed.

The Kingdom of Prussia lost a chance to merge its homeland and had to maintain huge armaments to ensure the security of its territory.

Now that the French are peeping over their Rhineland, the Austrians want to take back Silesia and the common Saxony, and the Russians are ambitious for the common Polish.

The three countries didn't do it, mainly because they checked each other, and their interests could not be agreed.

Austria and France have been unable to reach a compromise around the attribution of the Rhineland region. The attribution of the Silesia region between Russia and Austria is also controversial.

Using the contradictions of various countries and its own strength, the Kingdom of Prussia has been temporarily saved, but the crisis has not been lifted.

In fact, as early as 1853, some people in the country proposed to support Prussia, merging the German Federation and the Kingdom of Prussia, so that the European continent will be full of strength.

This project died before it even started. The price we need to pay to support the Kingdom of Prussia is too great, but the role we can play is very limited.

Even if this country is established, it will be destroyed.In order to guarantee the leader status in the German region, the Vienna government is likely to compromise with France and Russia in exchange for incomplete German regional unity.

Both: the French acquired German territory west of the Rhine and Austria abandoned Italy; the Russians acquired East Prussia, Western Prussia, Pomerania, Posen, Silesia and other parts of Austria and Poland; Austria left Under the German region.

In order to avoid the worst situation, we chose the German region to split into three plans, and promoted the establishment of the second Vienna system, creating a situation of peace and stability in the European continent for more than ten years.

After the French annexed the Kingdom of Sardinia, everyone realized that the Vienna system was about to end, and the Kingdom of Prussia had the deepest sense of crisis.

They chose to take military adventures when the Russians were the weakest, and it was also compelling.As long as there is turmoil in continental Europe, they will be involved.

Now the Berlin government wants to take advantage of European countries, including us, and does not want to see the opportunity for the Russians to complete the reform and serve as a weapon for everyone to fight against the Russians."

"It is impossible to support the Kingdom of Prussia. It is now an industrial age. Where can we find a market for them?

But supporting them against the Russians still seems somewhat feasible.If we can take this opportunity to join hands with European countries to interrupt the Russian reform, it is even better to split Russia."Minister of Finance Agarwal said

This is a real problem. If you open the history book, you will know that the British have supported many countries.But in fact, this kind of support is very limited, and has always been generous to others.

Now that there is no such injustice on the European continent, the neighbors around Prussia will not have a problem, and they will be divided up before they grow up.

To put it bluntly, now that the cake has been divided, the rise of the new country can only be robbed from the old empire. Russia and France will not give them this opportunity.The greater the support from Britain, the faster Prussia will die.

Navy Secretary Edward objected: "It is not so easy. If the Russians are so easy to collapse, they are not worthy to be our biggest enemy.

Whether it is the Polish Independent Movement organization or the Kingdom of Prussia, they can only add a little trouble to the Russians to defeat this great empire unless it is the two countries of France and Austria.I don't think it is time to persuade France and Austria to join forces to suppress the Russians.

The Austrians have always maintained the Russian-Austrian alliance, that is, they are worried about becoming the target of Russian invasion, and even put the Russians into the Balkan Peninsula.

They have too many borders with the Russians, unless the Austrians can be convinced that the Russians can be beaten up, otherwise the Vienna government cannot take risks.

I suggest a limited investment, just add chaos to the Russians.Solving the Russian problem at once is very unrealistic, and we do not need to take risks."

Foreign Minister Raistlin said: "I also support limited investment, which can provide loans and weapons and ammunition to the Kingdom of Prussia and Polish independent organizations, there is no need to appear in person.

The Russian government seems to have problems, but the tsarist government's army is not in disorder.The annihilated troops in the Polish region are all Polish natives who have just been recruited, and they simply cannot represent the true strength of the tsarist army.

This time it can consume part of the strength of the Russians, interrupt or delay their reform process, even if it is successful."

...

In Paris, the French government almost made a decision similar to that of the British, giving money, weapons, and volunteers, except that it would not send troops in person.

Even Napoleon III was prepared to take advantage of the fire, but the target of the robbery was not the Russians, but Prussia, who was barely an ally.

The successful annexation of the Kingdom of Sardinia has evoked the French ambitions.The capitalists cannot bear the shortage of coal supply, and must embark on the embarrassment of high-priced imports, constantly instigating the government to take action in the Rhineland region.

The power of capital is powerful, and the French government is inevitably affected by the offensive of money.No action was taken, it was Napoleon III ’s brain online, knowing the bottom line of each country.

Don't think that the joint defense treaties of various countries are just a joke. If they really cross the line, it will be another anti-French alliance.

The chance of this happening is as high as 80%, and Napoleon III is naturally impossible to take risks.Even if you want to get started, you must pull people into the water and share international pressure.

Now supporting the Kingdom of Prussia is nothing more than to cheer the Berlin government.Regardless of whether they win or lose, the French can profit from it.

In case the Prussians luckily pulled the Russians from the position of the European hegemons, they made a lot of money.

As for whether the Kingdom of Prussia will grow bigger, it is completely out of the consideration of Napoleon III.Even if you want to expand, you have to have a place.

If the Prussians dare to annex the Russian land, it is estimated that all European countries will support their just actions, which is simply popular.

The prerequisite is to be able to survive the revenge of the tsarist government, otherwise all the benefits will only exist temporarily, and they are destined to be lost.

...

There is no doubt that the decision of Britain and France directly announced the second collapse of the Vienna system, and the two major powers as the leaders have taken the lead in breaking the rules. How can it be maintained?

After Britain and France stated their positions, Franz naturally did not choose to insist on perseverance. Anyway, the historical role of this system has been brought into play.

After more than ten years of development, Austria's power has undergone earth-shaking changes and can withstand the impact of European chaos.

The only major country that insists on this system is the Russian Empire. They want to continue to maintain this system, and that is why the provisions in the Vienna system are in their favor.

For example, on the issue of the Putin War, the tsarist government can use the agreement reached in the second Vienna system as the legal basis to attack the Kingdom of Prussia.

With the legal basis in hand, the immediate consequence is that most European public opinion is supporting the Kingdom of Denmark. This war was recognized by the public as: Prussia is invading Denmark.

Under the pressure of public opinion, British and French support for Prussia has been confined in secret, and outside the German Federation and Austria, all countries are condemning the Prussian government.

Not condemning the Prussian government does not mean supporting them. After the last Pudan war, the German people did not have confidence in the Prussian government.

The Munich Daily newspaper criticized the Prussian government as a robber and accused the Prussian government in order to get rid of the financial difficulties and sent troops to Denmark to rob, not to maintain German sovereignty.

This is the information left over from the last Pudan War. There are pictures and the truth, which can prove that the Prussian army organized the robbery.

No need to explain, this is the same for the military of European countries in this era.As long as there is no army looting in the homeland, it can be regarded as strict discipline.

The Vienna Daily commented directly: The Prussian government is running out of money and is ready to use the Pudan war to defraud donations.

The deceived people have the most say, and many people still remember it.Even after more than a decade, the Prussian government was often pulled out by everyone to whip the corpse.

In response to public opinion, the Vienna Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued the neutral declaration for the first time.There is no support for it, even if it is verbally supported.

The Prussian government did not dare to shout even the slogan of safeguarding German sovereignty, and the German nationalists were very dissatisfied.

The people who originally intended to support the Kingdom of Prussia to recapture the two principalities also retreated.Many people worry that Prussia's approach is to completely cut with Germany and learn from Switzerland and the Netherlands as a self-contained system.
