Holy Roman Empire

Chapter 360

The Putin War led to the collapse of the Vienna system, and it was no longer harmonious to many small countries in Europe. Without the protection of this system, everyone would have to return to the era of unpredictability.

As a rule-breaker, Prussia naturally engendered hatred.The most direct consequence is that countries in the Pudan War have stood by the Danes.

Of course, this does not prevent everyone from supporting the Prussians in the Russian-Russian confrontation.International politics has always supported those that are beneficial to oneself and opposed those that affect one's own interests.

St. Petersburg, the world is waiting for the action of the tsarist government.

If it was the time of Nicholas I, then there was no need to say just one word.It is not difficult for the Russian Empire to fight Prussia with its strong strength.

It is difficult to say how much the price will be paid.At least one thing is certain, as long as the tsarist government does not die, the Kingdom of Prussia will not be able to counterattack.

Look at the map to know how big the Russian empire is. Prussia has no possibility of dealing with the Huanglong. Once it starts, it is a war of attrition.

The Russians are least afraid of attrition, and at the same time they are most afraid of attrition.Apart from having no money, the Tsarist government is not short of anything.

Alexander II hesitated, and he did not want to fight this war now.There is no money in the pocket to talk and no energy.Prussia is easy to deal with, but the latter is very difficult to deal with.

Foreign Minister Clarence-Ivanov analyzed: "Your Majesty, the positions of European countries have become clear. Countries have condemned Prussia's illegal actions, but no country has taken substantive action.

It can be preliminarily judged that Britain and France have put pressure on various countries to keep them neutral in the Pudan War in order to strike us.

If the Kingdom of Denmark cannot be maintained, our international reputation will inevitably be damaged, or even lose our current international status.

The Prussian attitude is very firm, and has already rejected our advice.If you want to keep the Kingdom of Denmark, you can't use diplomacy, you can only rely on force."

"Don't the Austrians move, would they just let the Vienna system break?" Alexander II asked with concern

"As early as last year when the Kingdom of Denmark merged the Principalities of Schleswig-Holstein, Austria broke off relations with the Kingdom of Denmark.

Now that the relations between the two countries have not been normalized, the probability of the Vienna government supporting the Kingdom of Denmark is almost zero."Foreign Minister Clarence Ivanov replied

Obviously, this is not the answer that Alexander II wanted.The break of diplomatic relations between the two countries is not a conflict of interest between the two countries. In fact, it is more political needs.

The Vienna government deliberately made a gesture for the people of the German region to show that their determination to unify the German region has never diminished.

Political correctness is effective for every government.Now that Prussia broke the Vienna system and waged a war against the Danes, it makes sense for Austria to take no action.

Prussia is also a German country, but Denmark is not.Whether to help relatives or help, this problem is very obvious. The Vienna government is neutral because it has a bad relationship with Prussian relatives.

After being silent for a long time, Alexander II continued to ask: "If we were to fight the Kingdom of Prussia, on which side would Austria stand?"

This is the core issue. Prussia has won the support of Britain and France. Most European countries hope to see Russia fail.Without the support of Austria, this war could not be fought at all.

Foreign Minister Clarence-Ivanov explained: "It is not yet entirely certain that from the information currently collected, the Vienna government has a higher chance of supporting us.

They want to unify the German region, and the Kingdom of Prussia is the biggest obstacle. A strong Prussia is not in their interest.

Even if the Kingdom of Prussia was willing to join the Shinra Empire, the Vienna government did not want to see a strong state appear, weakening their control of the empire."

After hesitating for a while, Alexander II made the decision: "Tell the Government of Vienna that as long as we win this war, the Silesia region is theirs.

In addition to not allowing them to unify the German region, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs can consider other conditions at its own discretion. We cannot do without their support in this war."

To fight, you have to fight.The status of the Russian empire was shot with one shot at a time. Why should a tsar who dare not fight war lead Russia?

It is impossible to destroy the Kingdom of Prussia, it will give Austria a chance to unify the German region, but it is very necessary to give a good lesson to this little boy who jumped.

Alexander II had already figured it out, hiding was impossible.All European countries want to interrupt Russia's reforms, even if they have escaped this time, and the next time.

Once the Russian empire showed little signs of weakness, there would be a pack of wolves and tigers.Now the strongest ally, Austria, may also become a vanguard of the division of Russia.

It is the best choice to eliminate the first Prussian legislator, otherwise the Russian empire must cut the meat.

...

Mexico's Royal Palace, since ascending the throne of the emperor, Massimilino I has exploded with twelve points of enthusiasm, trying to build Mexico into a great empire.

He diligently loves the people and works hard to govern, does not tend to any interest groups, and as far as possible to achieve notarization and fairness.They even pardoned the Republicans and let go of their political enemies.

Then, with the passage of time, he found helplessly that the domestic situation did not get better because of it, but became worse.

Pardoning the Republicans did not ease the political struggle in the country.These people blinked and ran out to pull the team again, creating his emperor's rebellion.

The emperor worked diligently and loved the people, and the following bureaucrats did nothing. As a result, it naturally had no effect.

The most deadly thing was notarization and fairness, which supported his constitutional faction and did not dominate the new government. Massimiliano I shared his rights with the neutrals and the opposition, causing their dissatisfaction.

Many members of the constitutionalists are desperate to the emperor, thinking that their investments have been floated, and have chosen to withdraw their funds. It should be a cold watch.

After all, Massimiliano is already an emperor, and even if the constitutionalists regret it, there is no way to change a new emperor.

As a result of the reform of the last government, Massimiliano chose to retain most of it, because he did not consider the dissatisfaction of the soil and water, which also caused dissatisfaction among all classes of the country.

For example: at the beginning of succession, the Catholic Church also made great efforts, the purpose is to hope to reclaim their lost land.

This part of the land was not distributed to the people, most of it fell into the hands of Republican bureaucrats and big landowners and big capitalists who supported them.Now that the Republicans are politically defeated, the church will naturally fight back.

Under normal circumstances, Massimiliano I must have stood by his supporters to combat the republican enemy.

However, he believes that the church should not hold too much land.The land was nationalized, and the government sold it to a private person as a legal transaction.

There is no doubt that this violates the principle of party uniformity.Can not bring benefits to the supporters, naturally do not want everyone to continue to support him.

In just a few months, Massimiliano I not only did not cultivate his own cronies, but drove many of his supporters to the opposite.

This is only a part of it. The most typical case of death was that the Maximilian I tripled the debt of the Mexican Empire shortly after his succession.

As an idealist, naturally it is very good to flicker.

Faced with a financial crisis just after ascending the throne, the government needed funds to run, the French army that interfered in the Mexican civil war needed to be rewarded, and the treasury had already run away.

Faced with this dilemma, Massimiliano I can only borrow externally.As his supporter, the French naturally ate this piece of cake, but the French had a big appetite.

In addition to the French, the interests of the other two interfering countries must also be protected.Recognizing the debt owed by the previous government is one of them.

Here, Maximilian I made another mistake. Many of the debts are actually illegal. He does not need the succession of the new government.

The well-known Miramar Agreement was signed in this way. Massimiliano I entrusted the French bank to issue 114 million pesos bonds, of which the French withheld one third of their debts and one quarter of them. Debt of other countries.

Coupled with the messy handling fees, in the end, the amount of 42.18 million pesos left in the hands of Massimiliano, the money also has to pay for the military expenses of the French garrison and maintain the operation of the government.

If nothing is done, the debt will triple.People of insight in Mexico naturally look down on this emperor.

Even if you want a loan, you have to consider the actual situation anyway.The Mexican government had no money to pay this debt, and now the French are asking Massimiliano I to mortgage the tariffs.

Massimiliano I reacted, and he found himself cheated.

The Mexican empire is not as rich as the rumors of the outside world, and it is not false to produce silver. However, most of these minerals have a strong power background, and they simply cannot receive a few taxes.

Massimiliano I knew the importance of customs and was reluctant to hand it over to the French. The contract period between the two parties ended.

"Your Majesty, this is the treaty you sign!"

The French commander in Mexico, Bazan, directly took out a document and handed it to Massimiliano I, with no respect for the emperor.

Massimiliano I picked up the file and saw nothing about the direct tearing, and it was all over the ground.The tone said coldly: "Okay, you can go now."

As the heir to the Habsburg family, Massimilino was also tempered.The French did not give him face, and naturally it was impossible for him to give face.

Bazan left the palace with a sullen face, but he still didn't say a threat.It's one thing not to put Massimiliano in his eyes, but he dare not mess up on the bright side.

He is not a republican mob, France is also a monarchy country, and maintaining the dignity of the monarchy is the common will of all monarchy countries in Europe. Naturally, Bazin will not be taboo.

It does n’t matter if you do n’t get the emperor ’s signature, and you get the cabinet ’s signature.Originally, the French were prepared to find a senior official to sign, and then create the established facts.

Now that the Paris government has appointed even the officials of the Mexican customs, they are waiting to fill in a legal procedure and go to office.

It was only because of a conflict between Baden and Massimiliano I at a banquet that he deliberately produced documents to stimulate Massimilino.

From the beginning, the French just wanted a puppet emperor, but unfortunately Massimiliano didn't cooperate at all, and was still trying to be a good monarch.

However, this effort has greatly aggravated the situation.As the emperor of the French constitutional conservatives, conservatives and churches, Massimilino did not stand with the class who supported him politically.

The whimsical want to be a most notarized monarch, without being a spokesperson for any political faction.He hopes to establish a moderate government, which will be recognized by all parties.

At present, he has successfully completed half of his goals, achieved fairness and justice, and has not become a spokesperson for any class or interest group.

The remaining half is estimated to be impossible forever.If the domestic political group needs him to withstand the pressure of the French, Massimilino is now a real lonely man.
