Holy Roman Empire

Looking at the increasing number of casualties, Franz also felt a headache. As Carlo Ferrangeri expected, Austria also needed face.

If it can be exposed to fight with the French, then the loss of 8,000 to 8,000 is nothing. The problem is that Austria is not prepared for a decisive battle against the French.

Once the window paper was pierced, it was doomed to full-scale war.If a local war does not exist, neither side can admit defeat, and once it is waged, it will rise to the point of survival.

The arrogant French will not admit defeat, and Napoleon III can only die in the end; Austria has a population advantage and has an upper hand in war potential, and it is even more impossible for Franz to admit defeat.

This means that it is useless to win or lose a local war. Everyone refuses to give in, and the war will continue.

Either play for the last three years and five years, and whoever can't hold on to concede defeat first, or both will be defeated; or directly stud the decisive battle, and separate out life and death.

None of this can end in a short period of time. In an era without planes, tanks, and cars, marching on two legs, there is no blitz.

The fight is for comprehensive national strength. Opening the map shows that the geographical location of France and Austria has already been decided, and whoever launches the offensive is the one who suffers.

At most, the Italian region conquered most of the kingdom of Sardinia. This is not the core of the French, and the locals are a group of Italians that cannot be tamed. Occupation here has no effect.

Instead, it increased the pressure on logistics. Franz did not think that the Austrian army had the ability to cross the Alps and hit Paris all the way.

It is more likely to be subject to logistics and then be driven back by the French.After all, the French can be transported by sea, where they battle the Austrian army for attrition.

The Central European region is separated from the German Federal Empire and Switzerland. It is enough to think about it by "borrowing". What is the difference between this and the invasion?

Unless the French are tempted to take the initiative to send troops, it is impossible for Austria to take the initiative to attack.Franz didn't want to feel rejected, it was definitely not a wonderful experience.

If these can be tolerated, the most unacceptable to Franz is the cost of war. If you win France, you will receive a war compensation at most.

Cutting the ground, Austria is out of reach!Moreover, the French Franz is really not interested.

The only kingdom of Sardinia that borders does not dare to ask for it, otherwise the number of Italians in the country will explode, which is not conducive to national integration and increases the possibility of an explosion.

colony?After the opening of the Faw, the Austrian Navy's final remaining amount is an unknown. It is God's blessing to keep the existing site. Where can we expand?

Even if war compensation is available, it is still an unknown.In the unlikely event that John Bull intervenes, it will be in vain.

Don't expect the Russian-Austrian League, that stuff is unreliable.Austria can draw water in the Russian-Russian war, and the Russians can naturally draw water in the French-Russian war, not to mention the Russians are still unable to help with the death of Prussia.

Without breaking through the window paper, this number of casualties left the Austrian military ashamed.Continue, it is inevitable that the number of casualties will exceed the Osa war.

At present, the smell of gunpowder on the Italian peninsula is getting stronger and stronger. Both France and Austria are constantly increasing their troops. Only one Mars will detonate.

Napoleon III and Franz felt the same, or even more uncomfortable.In the Italian region, the big deal in Austria was futile, and the French Balkan Peninsula was no longer guaranteed.

The French navy is very strong, and the Austrian navy is not weak. At least in the Adriatic Sea, the French navy cannot overwhelm Austria. The French army on the Balkan peninsula was reduced to a lone army from the beginning.

If the war can be won, it is acceptable to lose the French Balkans.The problem is that it is constrained by geographical location, and the most suitable battle point is the Italian region.

Napoleon III of Central Europe did not dare to touch it, otherwise the enemy would not be an Austria, but an anti-French alliance.

From Italy all the way to Vienna, this distance is enough to crash the French army N times.The railways in Austria are indeed well built, but everyone has different tracks and cannot be docked, and the railway simply cannot count on it.

This is still an ideal situation. Under normal circumstances, the French army will stop in the Lombardy area. The local fortifications are perfect, and it is not so easy to break through.

During the Osage War, the Sardinian kingdom only tore the defense line by internal attack, but now there are not so many internal responses.

In this context, even if the French army occupied the two Sicilian kingdoms, in fact, both sides can only be regarded as a tie.

If you want to win the war, unless like the original time and space, Franz personally led the troops into battle + blind command.

Today is different from the past, if Franz and Napoleon III lead the PK together, no one really knows the result, after all, neither of them is a master of military use.

In the original space-time Austria-France war, Napoleon III did not have time to play, so the French army won.If he broke out with all his strength, the outcome is still unknown.

There are examples of the Near East War, the Civil War, and the Russo-Prussian War. The Paris government has also been a lot more cautious, and has no arrogance in the world.

Unlike when he was hitting the hills and mountains, Napoleon III, who had a great career, was no longer the gambler.His throne is not so orthodox, the French people cannot tolerate failure, and any failure will shake the foundation of his rule.

This intervention in the two Sicilian kingdoms was only a trial of Austria, and it was really not worth it to risk a war for one trial.

Neither side wants to go to war, but the situation in the two Sicilian kingdoms has prevented the two countries from stepping down. Everyone wants to save face, and anyone who gives in first means giving up.

Although there is no substantial loss of this defeat, but the tone must be gambled, in this context Prime Minister Carlo Ferrangeri acted.

Foreign Minister Uldinov looked at the evidence in his hand and questioned: "His Excellency, these documents are too convincing. I am afraid that the Ministers of France and Austria will not believe it."

His heart is broken, even if it is framed, he must be professional!Holding a pile of documents directly as evidence, any print shop on the street can be wholesale, and it is not convincing at all.

Prime Minister Carlo Ferrangeli smiled and said, "It's okay, don't let them believe it. Seeing these things, did you think of something?"

Uldinov nodded, and he heard the implication of Prime Minister Carlo Ferrangeri.To say that the Americans provoke the contradiction between France and Austria, it is estimated that few people will believe it.

The federal government has neither this strength nor the courage, and more importantly, it does not have enough interests to let them do so.

It's almost the same if you change to the British.John Bull has had many records that have provoked relations between the two countries and were discovered by the two countries. As a habitual offender, he is naturally the subject of suspicion.

This excuse has an explanation both internally and externally.It is useless to deny that the London government, Paris and Vienna will directly believe.

The relationship between France and Austria has not gone further. The main reason is that the British have been stubborn, otherwise the two countries might have formed an alliance a few years ago.

The plan for the common division of Europe proposed by Franz was actually the source of the ambitions of Napoleon III now. After the annexation of the Kingdom of Sardinia, it was even more out of control.

In the French-American secret treaty, there is a plan to push the British out of the Mediterranean, which has already been implemented.

Whether it is Greece, the Ottoman Empire, or Egypt, North Africa, the expansion of the British in these years has not been smooth.

Being tripped by two ground snakes together, the London government was naturally upset.It's just that these are small actions in the dark, and everyone is good-neighborly and friendly on the bright side.

The uncomfortable John Bull naturally took revenge, and provoking relations between the two countries is one of them.Many means of the British are conspiracy, even if it is exposed, it still affects the relationship between France and Austria.

Otherwise, France and Austria are still sharing the European continent happily. How can it be so far?

Soon, the evidence prepared by the two Sicilian kingdoms was passed to Paris and Vienna, but the protagonist was replaced by the British.

Prime Minister Carlo Ferrangeri did not dare to provoke the British, and the two countries were different. The two sides tacitly clung the shit pots to the British.

This is not an injustice. London newspapers have already exposed the truth of the civil war between the two Sicily kingdoms, and have written a large number of pens and inks describing the secret operations of France and Austria.

Due to the lack of sufficient film and television materials, and the verbal support, the news was naturally denied by the Paris and Vienna governments.

However, under the impetus of the British, the news began to spread quickly on the European continent, so that the people who eat melons watched the excitement.

There are many people who want the two countries to fight, for example, the two countries, Russia and Russia, who are at war, and they want to see someone happily accompany them.

Only by watching the lively war between France and Austria will everyone's strength be pulled to the same level again.Believe it or not, both Russia and Russia have fallen behind.

Alexander II had the most say. He witnessed the decline of the Russian Empire from prosperity. He is now only the nominal European hegemon, and his actual strength has fallen behind that of France and Austria.

This is not just a matter of money, but comprehensive national strength is lagging behind.An agricultural country cannot win an industrial country, and the gap in the times cannot be compensated by the number of people.

Vienna

Foreign Minister Weisenberg proposed: "Your Majesty, this French-Austrian conflict must stop, and the British fishermen will benefit from continuing.

Now is not the time for the final battle between France and Austria. We need time to prepare."

War is not a trifle, especially a war between two great powers.The World War of the original time and space is an example, and both sides made sufficient preparations before they fought.

Now Austria is not prepared for anything, what to use for the decisive battle?

The Chancellor of the Exchequer, Karl, objected: "This time the French provoked the matter, so forget about it, where should we put our face?"

This is also one of the problems. Someone must be responsible for this conflict, but it must not be Austria. The Vienna government must find face.

Prime Minister Felix said fiercely: "Whoever provokes this dispute will be responsible for the incident. Since Francesco II led the wolf into the room, he will not be qualified to continue as king of the two Sicilian kingdoms.

There are many brothers of Francesco II, and we can be replaced with a pro-Austrian king. His brother Count Trani is a good choice."

The practice of Francesco II in Vienna seems to have constituted a betrayal, and the traitors naturally have to pay the price.It ’s just that he ’s a king, and Vienna ca n’t kill him, but it ’s okay to abolish the throne.

This was Francesco II's own death, which had made the country a mess, and it was very unpopular. He still stupidly asked Napoleon III for help, and many people in the Bourbon family were also very dissatisfied with him.

Against this background, the Government of Vienna asked Francesco II to abdicate, and he had few supporters at all.

As for the French?Forget it, Napoleon III is not charitable.The price to be paid to keep Francesco II is too great, but the benefits are far from paying.

Full name of Earl Trani: Luigi Maria, half-brother of Francesco II, was born on August 1, 1838, and is now less than 18 years old.

This is not the point, the important thing is that Luigi Maria is the son of Austrian Grand Duchess Maria Theresa Isabella, his grandfather Austrian military god Grand Duke Karl, has the blood of the Habsburg family.

Francesco II was able to inherit the throne, not because of how strong his supporters were, entirely because of European inheritance laws.

As a large noble, whether it is the Bourbon family or the Habsburg family, they are the maintainers of the rules, which are carried out in full accordance with the rules.

Therefore, Francesco II can grow up safely and inherit the throne, there is no so-called dog blood plot halfway.

Everything is treated according to the crown prince's standard, stepmother abuse, there is no such thing.The Grand Duke Isabella is an educated person, and will not do these things that are not tasteful.

Because he lost his mother at an early age, everyone was very compassionate to Francesco II. He grew up with the love of his family.Compared with a few younger brothers who were strictly required since he was a child, he grew up happy and educated.

Having never suffered setbacks since childhood was not a good thing for a king, which is one of the reasons why Francesco II did stupid things.

The world will not revolve around one, and now Francesco II is in tragedy.The conflict between France and Austria needs an explanation, and Austria ’s face needs to be maintained.

As the culprit, Francesco II was to blame, and abdication was the only option.

This is not about Franz. Earl Trani has no friendship with him.Grand Duke Carl didn't have no son, and Yi Ze could not fall on his grandson.Just in time for the current events, the Vienna government just pushed the boat.

Franz sneered and said: "Then Francesco II abdicated, but the French could not be spared that way. Since he dare to reach out, he must pay a price.

Our strategy against the French can be implemented. Napoleon III is still too busy and we must keep them busy."
