Holy Roman Empire

Chapter 399 Great Conspiracy

No one cares about the internal disputes in the Kingdom of Prussia. Most countries in Europe are celebrating this news.

Austria is no exception. If not taking into account the impact, Franz is preparing to hold a banquet to celebrate this great victory.

Now that the Russian-Prussian War has been carried out, the total power lost by the Tsarist government has exceeded 500,000. It is unclear how many people died, were captured, or retired due to injuries.

The tsarist government did not figure out these issues, and Franz would not be bored to help the Russians with statistics.

As the victor, the Pope coalition is not good enough, and the Kingdom of Prussia is nothing more. Although they have suffered heavy losses, they still have strength. There is a winter buffer, and they should come back in the coming year.

Of course, this supplement is just talking about military strength, and the war potential has inevitably declined, even after the manpower supplement of the two principalities has been obtained.

Poles are different. Even with the support of European countries, they still can't change the nature of the crowd.

In order to attract more people, the interim government announced: abolition of serfdom and free distribution of land to the public.

However, it is one thing to say, but another to do.The organization of the interim government was chaotic, and the Revolutionaries did not have any ruling experience.

First, the nobles were forced to the opposite, and then the internal struggles triggered the dissatisfaction of the middle class.

I didn't see the actual benefits, shouted slogans, and after a long time, I also wore help.Over time, ordinary people gradually lost their revolutionary enthusiasm.

If it was not for the victory of East Prussia, whether the Polish interim government can survive this winter is a problem.

The quality of the policy is not in the policy itself, but in the specific implementation.Obviously the Polish Provisional Government does not know this, and it is assumed that as long as the government issues a decree, the following will be implemented.

As a result, it was true that the land was distributed free of charge, and the bureaucrats freely distribute it.It cannot be said that it is a bureaucracy, and it should be more appropriately described by speculators.

The interim government, which is full of idealism, blindly issued a series of self-considered good policies blindly to the reality. The ending is naturally self-evident, and the country is messed up.

This is a good thing for Austria. The chaotic Poland will deter the Polish people in the country and will be more conducive to promoting national integration.

Strategically, Austria successfully used the Pupo coalition to weaken the Russians, but did not allow Prussia and Poland to take the opportunity to rise and realize the first strategic plan.

Whether or not to continue to weaken the Russian empire has become Franz ’s most troublesome issue.

On the one hand, if you want to weaken this potential opponent, on the other hand, you want the Russians to retain a certain strength, you can contain the British in Central Asia.

At the same time as the Russian-Russian war, the tsarist government has not forgotten to fight against the three countries of Central Asia.Just because the finances could not support two-line operations, the Russian military operations in Central Asia were anticlimactic.

The Vienna government is also arguing endlessly. The Russian Empire is not without strength. Their biggest problem is that they cannot exert their own strength.

In theory, as long as the Tsarist government can exert half of its war potential, it can easily manage the Kingdom of Prussia.

Austria ’s support for them during the Russian-Russian War was far from being comparable to that of the Near East War, and this was also one of the factors that prevented the Russians from exerting their power.

This is determined by interests. In the Near East War, Austria had a lot of benefits. Even if the borrowed money may not be recovered, it made up for the loss in other ways.

The Russian-Russian war is different, and it is difficult for Austria to obtain substantial benefits.Partitioning the Kingdom of Prussia can only talk about it.

Franz wants to obtain the population resources of the North German region, which requires the local people to be attentive. If they share the Russian kingdom with the Russians, they should never want to be recognized by the local people.

Nationalism is a double-edged sword. Franz used nationalism to establish the new Holy Roman Empire and obtained the rich human resources in the German region. Naturally, he must also bear the troubles.

Chancellor of the Exchequer Karl proposed: "Your Majesty, the Pusz-Russian War has now reached our goal, and we can consider mediating this war.

The tsarist government ’s finances have collapsed, and the war has now owed us a total of 30 million Aegis loans, up to 65 million Aegis loans, and 18 million Aegis private bonds.

If the war continues, I do n’t think the Russians have the ability to repay.Coupled with the previous debts, perhaps the Russians may not be able to pay off interest even one day.

Even if the Russians win the war, everyone will share the Kingdom of Prussia together, and the gains for us will be very limited."

This is a fact. At present, Russia ’s total debt owed to Austria is as high as 237 million Aegis, and the principal and interest to be paid each month totals 2.154 million Aegis.

It seems that there are not many, and the revenue of the Tsarist government can be fully covered.But the Russians have more than just these debts, and they don't owe much money from other European countries.

At present, the Russians' debt repayments have already accounted for one-third of the fiscal revenue. The war between Russia and Russia will continue, and the Tsarist government's financial bankruptcy is an inevitable result.

The Ministry of Finance has already made the ideological preparations for the Russians to repay the debts, and Franz has the same ideological preparations.

Although this money is also a war money made by Austria, since it is in its own pocket, it cannot be used for water rafting. It must be spent with value.

There is no doubt that this value will definitely not divide Prussia, but can only be compensated from other aspects.

It seems to Franz that he has already paid back.At the same time, the two countries have been weakened, and they have formed a blood feud. Austria ’s defense pressure in Eastern and Central Europe has been greatly reduced.

However, in the principle of maximizing benefits, we must find ways to obtain more benefits.How to do it will be tested by Wie Franz's diplomatic means.

Foreign Minister Weisenberg objected: "The truce is too early now, and neither side may accept our goodwill.

With the financial support of Britain and France, the Kingdom of Prussia still has the power of a battle. The Berlin government led by the Junker nobility will certainly not cease. They also want to tear a piece of meat from the Russians and lay the foundation of their great power.

The Russians still have strength, and the tsarist government will not admit defeat so easily.They finally established the European hegemony from the anti-French war, and just throw it out, no one will be reconciled.

Both sides have the foundation to lay down, and our mediation is not pleased at both ends.

There is a winter time buffer, and the Tsarist government will find ways to raise enough funds.

If they cannot raise enough funds, then it depends on what conditions the Tsarist government has given us.

The greatest benefit to the Prussians from the victory of the Eastern Prussian battle was still political, which made it possible to win over Sweden.

The Russian-Russian feud has a long history. In the past three hundred years, they have fought eight wars successively. It was not until Sweden fell in recent decades that they stopped.

In addition, the Ottoman Empire may also send troops to recover the Caucasus.They have just completed a social reform, although the reform is not thorough, but they have restored some strength.

The Three Khanates of Central Asia, which had just been bullied by the Russians, and the Persian who had turned their backs against the Russians, and the Qing State in the Far East, could all become enemy of the Russians.

According to the information we have, British diplomats have been very active recently, and preliminary judgments are in tandem.

It is conceivable that the tsarist government will not have a better life in the coming year. If they win the Pu-Russian war, these countries will die down; if they continue to fail, they will be in danger."

After looking at the map of Eurasia, Franz had to admit that the Russians were really capable of pulling hatred.If John Bull ’s plan is successful, then the emphatically empire of Russia may not be able to sustain it.

The "Russian-Austrian Alliance" is based on the fact that the two countries have equal strength. If the Russian Empire is to fall, Austria may be the first to fall.

Franz asked with concern: "Did the Tsarist government perceive the British plan?"

Deep down in his heart, he has used the negative example of Russia as a textbook, repeatedly reminding himself not to wave, not wave.

Foreign Minister Weisenberg replied: "It is not certain that the Russians have not taken any action, and we cannot judge whether they have insight into the British conspiracy."

The Austrian Ministry of Foreign Affairs was able to discover the British plan for no other reason, mainly because they regarded the British as their biggest opponent.

Since it is the opponent who must pay attention to the British every move, then the Austrian Ministry of Foreign Affairs agencies around the world are staring at the British tacitly.

Prime Minister Felix proposed: "If the British have such a big plan, we need to remind the Russians.

The Russian Empire cannot fall. If it really falls, then they must be dismembered.At present, we can't do to dismember the Russian empire, so let them not fall down."

There is no problem in dismembering the Russian Empire. The point is that there is no way to fragment them.Just tearing off a few pieces of meat on the leftovers is no longer Austrian pursuit.

Especially at a critical moment in Africa ’s strategy, now that the Russian Empire has problems, Austria will fall into this quagmire and will not be able to get out of it in a short time.

Franz thought for a while and said: "Then find an opportunity to inform the Russians. But not now, wait until the British plan is almost completed before taking action.

With so many countries involved, it is definitely not a simple matter to want them to attack the Russians at the same time. The British may be wishful thinking."

There is hatred for everyone, but there are still benefits.These factors constitute the prerequisites for countries to avenge Russia. Unfortunately, governments are not so powerful.

Due to the inconvenience of communication, so many countries are unable to communicate enough, and everyone is distributed in the south of the world. The so-called joint operation is just wishful thinking, and it is easy to be broken down by the Russians one by one.

What's more, the governments of many of these countries are decaying and there is no courage to regain the lost ground. Let them make up their minds unless the British personally enter the battle.

In this case, Franz is naturally not in a hurry.After the British were almost ready, the Russians were notified, and it was possible to make the game more difficult for Alexander II.

If the Tsarist government used diplomatic means to solve the problem, wouldn't it make the British lose face?
