Holy Roman Empire

In Vienna, the Foreign Minister Weisenberg analyzed: "Although the Polish independence movement hit the Russians, it also ignited the flames of continental Europe.

Affected by the success of the Polish uprising, there have been frequent revolutions on the European continent recently, and a new wave of revolution has arrived.

Beginning in January, revolts have erupted in the Kingdom of Sicily, the Papal State, Spain, and Portugal. Switzerland, France, Ireland, and other regions have also experienced various degrees of confusion.

Most of these revolutionary organizations recently returned to the European continent from the United States. The preliminary judgment is that the federal government has jumped the wall. They have this motive and strength.

President Lincoln had high hopes for the decisive battle, because both sides could not afford to lose, and they chose to fight steadily, which directly turned this conference war into a war of attrition.

The federal government is worried that countries will continue to split the United States. In order to disperse the energy of governments, they will choose to create chaos on the European continent at this time.

It is no secret that Americans funded the Revolutionary Party. Their influence over the Revolutionary Party is self-evident.It's just that there hasn't been any major movement, and this layer of window paper has never been pierced.

Now that things have happened, it will not take long for European countries to react.At that time, Americans are likely to abandon these revolutionary organizations in exchange for the understanding of various countries.

If everyone exerts enough pressure, they may be able to make a loss.But with such a stir, I am afraid that the three countries of Britain, France, and West will not be able to increase their investment in the United States in the short term.

The alliance ’s strength in the Americas at this time has made the split between the North and the South less problematic. This is the result of the southern government ’s fight.

If you want to split the United States again, you will be too weak.At most, let the Indian region allied with the South become independent.However, this did not affect the strength of the federal government. After the split, they were still two medium powers.

In terms of development potential, both the northern and southern governments have the potential to become powerful nations.

They have no real opponents in the Americas, and division is only delaying their time to become powerful.As long as there is a sufficient population, they can develop."

This American Civil War surprised many Europeans.The American Civil War, which was originally thought to be a farce, actually broke the shock potential of everyone.

If there is no division, the strength of the Americans is almost the same as that of Spain. Dominating a continent is almost invincible.

At a time when everyone was conspiring to split the United States, the unwilling federal government ended up struggling, disrupting the deployment of all parties.

Prime Minister Felix added: "Not only is there chaos abroad, but many people in the country can't bear it anymore, and they are beginning to move.

These people are in secret tandem, and it is estimated that it will not take long for them to make a big news.In order to wipe out all these people, we didn't hit the grass and startle the snake.

With the outbreak of the Russo-Prussian War, we were also constrained by continental European affairs. At this time, there were hidden dangers in the country and we were unable to increase our investment in the Americas in the short term."

This is to use the conspiracy as a conspiracy. Even if the countries know that the Americans did it, they can't help them now, and they don't even have to worry about accounting after the autumn.

There are many internal contradictions in Spain. Now that the prelude to the revolution has begun, I do not know when it will be able to calm down.

The Irish Independent Organization and the Revolutionary Party are in trouble, and some opposition parties are lagging behind. The internal conflicts are enough to keep the London government busy for several years.

Not to mention France, with the style of Napoleon III, I am afraid to take the opportunity to go deeper into southern Italy, and France and Austria are likely to have a conflict.

It was also the Russian-Russian War and the possible conflict between France and Austria. Franz had no guts to take risks at this time to find the ugliness of the Americans.

After everyone slows down, the American Civil War is over.If there were no accidents, Lincoln would have been out of business long ago, and even if countries want to settle their accounts after the autumn, it has nothing to do with him.

Fortunately, the army of the northern government did not perform well and failed to achieve the strategy of quickly defeating the southern government. Otherwise, the power of countries in the Americas region may not necessarily be able to force them to compromise.

Franz thought for a while and said: "The Italian issue can be postponed. The two Sicilian kingdoms did not seek help. Even if the French wanted to intervene, they would not dare to start this time.

Napoleon III was not stupid. The joint defense treaties against them still existed. Now they continue to expand their power, and the anti-French alliance is not far away.

There can be no problems in the interference with the coalition forces. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs coordinates relations as soon as possible, and cannot wait for the Americans to divide the victory or defeat.

By this time, both the North and the South had weakened, and splitting the United States was the first.The British now have the same position as us, and the London government must not dare to wait any longer."

The situation in Europe has changed too quickly, and the intervention of the coalition forces is likely to change.Against this background, it is extremely unwise to think about weakening the United States as much as possible.

It is enough for the Southern Government to win the civil war, and the economic potential of the plantation is limited. Unless it can monopolize the world ’s food supply, it will never become a world power.

Obviously, this is impossible, and there are too many regions suitable for growing food in the world.American agriculture does have an advantage, but this advantage is not enough to form a monopoly.

No country is a fool, and it will not give its lifeline to Americans.At least the agricultural exporters like Russia and Austria will not buy their food.

Once the northern government wins, the historical United States will reappear.The layout of Franz in the Americas delays the rise of the United States at most.

Even if there is no war on the European continent, after entering the 20th century, Americans will actively challenge the world order.

With regard to relations between European countries, Franz does not think that everyone can cooperate sincerely.At least on the North American continent, everyone is happy to read the jokes of the British.

Perhaps the second unlucky egg is Austria. The Central America region is now unremarkable, and Alaska is not worth much. It will be different in decades.

The combined benefits of the two places are only for the British.But if the British Olympics can suppress Americans in North America, Franz does not have that certainty.

After all, the social system of the United States, without full assurance, is very difficult for them to take strategic risks.

Looking at history, we know that after World War I, they had the power to dominate the world, and they could not bear it until World War II broke out.

Domestic contradictions were directly ignored by Franz.The nets are all ready, just wait for the fish to hook.If there is still a problem, it means that his emperor failed.

After this wave passed, the last obstacle to national integration ceased to exist.No matter how powerful nationalism is, it will take time to spread.

Even if there are survivors, after this wave, they dare to secretly engage in things, that is a true warrior.

...

St. Petersburg, Alexander II's recent anger has become stronger and stronger, and the altar jars in the royal palace have suffered.

The poor performance of the Russian army on the battlefield disappointed him.Fortunately, the Kingdom of Prussia, because of funding, did not have a smooth military reform in the early stage, and completed a reduced version of the reform before the outbreak of war.

Overall, the two sides played a half a catty.This result is enough for the Berlin government, who was originally prepared to drag the Russians.

With British and French backing, there is no need to risk a decisive battle with the Russians.If a wave of ups and downs defeated the Russian army, the tsarist custody of the angry tsar government will die with them.

For the Russian Empire, the loss of hundreds of thousands of troops is no different.The Kingdom of Prussia is different, they really cannot afford to lose.

The Russian army is not a soft persimmon, as long as the commander does not make a fatal strategic error, the exchange ratio on the battlefield will not be too disparate.

The Near East War is an example. The field battle between the British and French coalition forces and the Russians is usually 1.5: 1. On the contrary, when defending, 3: 1 and 4: 1 frequently occur.

If you go up rashly, you will find it easy to defeat the enemy and difficult to wipe out the enemy.In an era when there were no aircraft tanks or machine guns, it was almost inevitable for infantry on the plains to suffer losses from cavalry after leaving the fortress.

The current situation is 546,000 Russian army VS 328,000 Prussian army + 231,000 Polish rebel army, the two sides fought a half and a half, and even the Russians suffered a small loss.

"Who can tell me what battle is this fighting?"

Seeing the angry tsar, everyone bowed their heads in tacit understanding.

I thought I could easily win this war. As a result, not only did I not burn the war to the Kingdom of Prussia for more than a month, but I was forced to withdraw from Poland.

Army Secretary Nicholas Cage explained bitterly: "Your Majesty, the Polish region is a gang of anti-thieves. When we are fighting the enemy, we have to distribute a large amount of troops to deliver strategic materials.

General Fitzroy chose to shrink the front because the Warsaw region was not suitable as a battlefield. In order to avoid giving the enemy opportunities, he decided to put the battlefield in East Prussia."

Now the guerrillas in Warsaw are everywhere. The Russians who fought here do not enjoy the advantages of local operations, but instead fall into the vast ocean of the people's war.

From a military perspective, it is no problem to temporarily abandon the Warsaw region and directly focus on East Prussia.

Compared with the Polish Uprising, the Kingdom of Prussia is a serious trouble.As long as the Prussians were defeated, the Polish Uprising would not exist for long.

Moreover, the Polish independence movement was jointly initiated by a number of revolutionary organizations. In the face of the crisis, they can cooperate sincerely. Once the Russian threat weakens, they will fall into a fight.

After the uprising broke out, in order to attract more people to join, the Polish interim government promised to distribute land free of charge, implement labor protection laws and other conditions.

These provisions seriously damaged the interests of capitalists and nobles, and did not obtain their approval. From the beginning, the rebels divided.

Oral promises are enough, and if these conditions are to be fulfilled, the insurgents must fight internally.No matter which party wins, the strength of the uprising army will be greatly weakened.

If the proletariat fails, these conditions cannot be fulfilled, and the morale of the uprising army will immediately collapse; if the nobles and capitalists fail, the tsarist government will lead the party.

This military correct choice is a political failure.The conservative aristocracy in the country continued to jump up and down, causing trouble for Alexander II, and attributed the defeat on the battlefield to reform.

Alexander II was not a fool who blindly pursued political victory. He knew very well that the gains and losses of a while were nothing, and the final result of the war was the key.

"Huh! Tell General Fitzroy, no matter what price he pays, I must burn the war into the Kingdom of Prussia as soon as possible.

If a large force cannot break through the enemy's line of defense, it will send a small group of troops to make trouble and weaken the enemy's war potential as much as possible.

The Prussians received British and French support, and if we want to delay the war, we cannot give them this opportunity."

The war of the poor can only be determined quickly.As long as the war is delayed, it will be a failure for the tsarist government.

Because of this war, Alexander II had to suspend the next reform plan and make every effort to raise funds for this war.

The Russian army ’s early losses were largely due to lack of money.Fighting with the enemy in the Warsaw region, the material loss during transportation was too great, exceeding the capacity of the tsarist government.

Fitzroy gave up the Warsaw area under pressure because of logistical supply problems.The government lacks money and has limited strategic materials. Once it is lost in transit, it will be difficult to get the next batch in time.

With hints from various government departments, Fitzroy had to make this decision.These things were clear to Alexander II, but he knew he could not stop him.

The funds raised by the tsarist government are now less than half of those raised before the Near East War. It is very difficult to keep the war going.
