Holy Roman Empire

The "Six Six Treaty" is obviously invisible. If the news that France and Austria join forces to divide the European continent will spread, will the London government not go crazy?

It is not such a balancing act for the European continent to maintain balance.If the Empire of Great France and the Great Roman Empire emerged, the European continent would really stand on three feet.Because by then, the fourth continent will probably not be found in continental Europe.

Like Pandora's Box, once the ambition is opened, it is difficult to retrieve it.

Napoleon left the French not only with a glorious record, but also with a dream of a great power.With the sensibility of the French people, once the enthusiasm for expansion was mobilized, most of Italy and Belgium could not satisfy their desires.

Plus Spain and Portugal are not excessive?That year, Napoleon occupied the Spanish region, and must inherit this fine tradition!

The French unified Western Europe and Austria unified Germany. Under this background, is there any choice between Switzerland and the Netherlands sandwiched between the two giants?

Either take the initiative to join the party, or be forcibly annexed, this is the fate of the small country.

The three Nordic countries that do not want to live alone should not want to be alone. For strategic reasons, the Russians will not let them go.

The three major powers are expanding outward, and the British can only be dumbfounded.If you want to interfere, you ca n’t move. Maybe you will clear them before you turn your face.

Even the three countries have a foundation for alliance.After the expansion is completed, it will definitely take time to digest, which means that in the short term, it will not be able to fight on the European continent.

Then the British who had the most colonies in the world were in danger.You ca n’t go to ally with the Americans, and it ’s useless!

Of course, the chance of this happening is very small.After the annexation of Italy and Belgium, the internal contradictions of France must be dealt with, and there is simply no ability to continue expansion.

Not to mention Austria, Franz reunification of Germany is just a slogan to divide up the European continent, is this not awake?

Now that nationalism has awakened, unifying the German region is almost the end of Austria ’s expansion on the European continent.

However, due to the limitations of the times, many people think that Austria will continue to expand after the reunification of Germany.

The reason is very simple: Belgium, Switzerland, and the Netherlands are all split from the Holy Roman Empire and belong to the same cultural circle. Radical Great Germanists count them all.

In order not to cause panic, and to ensure the smooth implementation of the plan, France and Austria have chosen to maintain a high level of confidentiality. There are many people who know the existence of this treaty, and there are few people who know the content of the treaty.

Austria knows that there are only three easy treaties. The Prime Minister, the Minister of Foreign Affairs and Franz himself, and France is about the same.

In recent years, the French economy has developed well, the throne of Napoleon III has also stabilized, and the voice of the people to establish Greater France has also increased.

This is definitely the voice of the French people, Franz at most just guided.This is evidence: Emperor Napoleon III did a good job in time and space, but was ousted because he was defeated and unable to satisfy the people ’s dream of a great power.

Compared with the two-time losing streak of the original owner, the throne is still firmly established.

It was not Napoleon III who actually contributed to this alliance, but the broad French people.They shouted inadvertently, and they put pressure on the emperor.Since the democratically elected emperor, Napoleon III will naturally respect the people's choice.

On June 8, 1866, the French and Austrian Ministry of Foreign Affairs once again signed a "Franco-Austrian Trade Agreement on the Sovereignty of Certain Colonies in Italy, Balkans, and Africa".

This is a disguise of the "Six Six Treaty", only the territorial sovereignty transactions of Articles 3 and 4.Anyway, it can't be hidden. Once the two countries start to hand over, they will all be exposed.

It can be traded in the European mainland, not to mention the sovereignty and colonies?The deal you like most is that the British will be unhappy and make some sales for the newspaper.

Konrad Holman is the editor of the Austrian Daily, and occasionally has to guest guest commentators and give some official opinions.

Of course, as a commercial newspaper, this kind of opinion is usually very obscure, usually from the side.

The news of the French-Austrian territorial trade case has just come back, and Conrad Holman ’s work is here.There is no doubt that this kind of news must sing praises!

Turning the pen, Conrad Holman fell into contemplation.The news must be eye-catching, and for the highly commercialized Vienna Daily, direct official articles are unpleasant.

If there are too many people writing, how can we ensure that newspaper sales are the same?The Vienna Daily is a big newspaper with daily sales of 100,000.

Looking at the globe on the table that was blown by the wind, Conrad moved, and lifted the pen to write on the paper.

Title: On the Thinking of the French and Austrian Colonies and Sovereignty Transaction-Cooperation and Win-Win

This is no longer news, but a discussion paper.As long as commercial newspapers comply with Austrian law to ensure that the news is true and reliable, there are not so many requirements on how to publish the content.

Conrad started directly from the international competition, listed a few historical cases, and then compared the treatment plans of the two countries.

Finally, it is concluded that cooperation is a win-win situation.By the way, he praised the efforts of the French and Austrian governments for world peace.

From the standpoint of France and Austria, this transaction is indeed a win-win situation.

The French paid a part of the colonies in exchange for the absolute right to speak in central and southern Italy, laying a foundation for swallowing Italy.

In the Mediterranean strategy, the French took the initiative.Controlled Sicily and Tunisia, the French could divide the Mediterranean into two when necessary.

The strategic layout of the British in Malta was abolished, and the strategic value of this Mediterranean heart was greatly reduced.Unless the era of airplanes arrives, it will once again be able to play the role expected by Britain.

Austria exchanged the sovereignty of the Italian state for the French Balkans and parts of West Africa. Not only did it pull a nail, it also consolidated the colonial hegemony in West Africa.

Incidentally, another bargaining chip with the Russians was added, and the Dardanelles was still very tempting to the tsarist government, at least before they gave up the Mediterranean.

After writing the manuscript, I checked it several times and corrected several writing mistakes.Seeing no problem, Conrad Holman submitted the manuscript to the editor-in-chief for review.

This kind of big news usually does not have only one press release, usually three or five people write the manuscript at the same time, and the editor-in-chief chooses the most suitable one for publication.

Occasionally, meetings may be held for discussion, but because of the timeliness of the news, such discussions rarely occur.

Not surprisingly, Conrad's press release passed."Cooperation and win-win" surpasses others in its conception. News has never been inseparable from politics. The slogan of "cooperation and win-win" is in line with Austria's diplomacy.

Although the government did not publicly call out this slogan, it was actually done long ago.From the beginning of the alliance between Russia and Austria, a prelude to win-win cooperation has begun.

For example: In the Near East War, the Russians got Bulgaria and the coveted Constantinople, Austria unified the southern Germany, and by the way annexed parts of the Balkan Peninsula.

This is the embodiment of win-win cooperation. Of course, this example cannot be taken out, otherwise it will be too hatred.

Not only the British and French are going to run wild, but even the Tsarist government has some opinions.Since their family members know their own affairs, they are only nominal winners, paying a heavy price, and the gains are only political victories.

It is no problem to take out this result and fooling ordinary people. The senior officials of the tsarist government are still very clear that they have failed strategically and lost the best chance to enter the Mediterranean.

Take this Fao deal as an example, then there is no problem.Anyway, France and Austria each take what they need, and just one reason is enough to satisfy the people of the country.

The slogan "cooperation and win-win" was screamed by Conrad, but the impact was not what he expected.

With the publication of the news, it quickly caused a sensation in Vienna, and over time this slogan became the official propaganda slogan of the two countries.

With the signing of the treaty, the diplomatic relations between France and Austria have also entered a close contract period.Many people are optimistic that the conflict between France and Austria no longer exists.

No matter what other people think, Franz is very clear anyway, the Fao contradiction is only suppressed by man in the common interest.

This is not the point, the point is that Austria can withdraw its troops from Italy.The effect of training has been achieved, and we have studied with the French, and it can almost prove the combat effectiveness of the army.

The rest of the Italian guerrillas, let the French do it themselves!Sect sovereignty is not just about interests, it also means responsibilities.

To a certain extent, this unfriendly military consultation has also accelerated the pace of the alliance between the two countries.On the battlefield, the French and Austrian armies did not have one-sided fighting, and the fighting power of the two sides was almost equal.

Of course, this is because the area of ​​the conflict is too small and the fighting forces are not much. Both sides are fighting hard for strength, and the officers do not have much room to play.

This situation has made the high-level leaders of France and Austria fearful.The Vienna government was afraid of the reputation of the French, and the French were afraid of Austrian soldiers.

This is determined by population superiority. Even after the annexation of the Kingdom of Sardinia, the population gap between France and Austria is still very different.Once it evolved into a war of attrition, the French could not bear it first.

Franz knows very well that the French are not weak.It cannot be assumed that because of the collapse of Napoleon III's play in the original time and space, it is assumed that the French's combat effectiveness is not good enough.

It is important to know that the ratio of forces between the two sides of the Franco-Prussian War is 47:22. Because of the blind command of Napoleon III, the first general battle-the Vesangborg battle, the generals engaged the French with ten times the force; then Walter two days later In the battle, the ratio of the strength of the two sides of the Franco-Prussian law was 130,000 VS 40,000, and the result was naturally self-evident.

The latter battles are basically the same. In almost every battle, Prussia has more than three times the strength of the army and is engaged in combat with the French.

Don't ask why this is the case, this question can only be answered by Napoleon III.Anyway, history is like this, who knows why he is commanding the troops to give people head.

In Paris, the French people have begun to celebrate.Thanks to the help of newspapers in popularizing strategic knowledge, many French people believe that this marks the establishment of the French Mediterranean hegemony.

Although this has not been recognized by Britain and Austria, neither can hinder the carnival of the French people.The annexation of the Italian region has become the consensus of the French activist groups.

In the folk celebration, the response of the Paris government was quite different.Many people worry that after the deal is concluded, it will attract British hostility.

Pro-British officials believe that this is a conspiracy by Austria to provoke British-French relations. This speculation is close to the truth, but it is not a conspiracy but a conspiracy.

The reaction of the people in Paris has told them that they want to stop the transaction-no way.

"British-French friendship", has this thing ever existed?

Just opening a French history book can prove that hatred is enough for Britain and France, and friendship is too extravagant.

The centuries-old feud between Britain and France cannot be eliminated in a day or two.In fact, the Paris government has never made any effort in this regard.

Anyone who wants to try it, please make preparations for accepting the glorious title of "national thief".Although the government has a large number of pro-British factions, there are more people who are anti-British.

Napoleon III was very annoyed recently, and he suddenly found that it was not a good thing to have too many pro-British factions in the government, even if he himself was pro-British.

But in the face of interests, personal positions must be compromised!Whether or not to carry out a major official cleansing is a question worth considering.
