Holy Roman Empire

The Industrial Revolution has not affected the world situation, and the use of electricity has just begun.In the eyes of many people at the time, the main role was lighting.

High-power generators have just appeared, and the use of electricity in industry has not yet started.Affected by the Franz butterfly effect, this industrial revolution kicked off from Austria.

The protagonist of the original space-time is now bleak.Prussia, which established the German Second Empire, was still dying with the Russians, and the raging American Empire was licking the wounds of the civil war.

After the split, the internal market has been unable to support an industrial revolution.The heavy casualties of the war, the accompanying high pensions, and the internal contradictions among the states have all restricted the development of the Federation.

What was once in space and time, the economic prosperity of the United States after the Civil War, can no longer be seen in the shadows.The powers are not volunteers, and the joint intervention of the four countries has also benefited.

After the war, the goods of the three countries of Britain, France and Austria flooded the entire American continent, and this was the reward for everyone in this war.

Because of internal conflicts, Spain was left behind in the industrial revolution, and they did not enjoy this benefit.

...

Moscow, since Alexander II abolished serfdom, the second largest city in Russia has ushered in a period of rapid development.

As the second largest industrial zone of the Russian Empire, the number of workers in Moscow has exceeded the 500,000 mark, with a total urban population of over one million and the fourth largest city in Europe.

There are naturally many social contradictions, which gives the revolutionary party room for development.The reform of the Tsarist government was only halfway through, and there was no time to establish a complete system.

Although the newly-rising bourgeoisie has benefited from reforms, they still want greater rights.Waiting for Alexander II to continue reforming?Unfortunately, they can't wait.

Moreover, the reform of Alexander II protected their interests, but did not allow them to enter the center of rights.

In order to put pressure on the government, these people did not hesitate to hook up with the Revolutionary Party.Of course, this is only confined to providing support in secret, and they dare not rebel.

Under the tandem of the British, the leader of the Revolutionary Party, Mattel Torski, returned home.This time they are going to launch an uprising in Moscow, not to choose Saint Petersburg, because the tsar has soldiers in his hands.

Once Alexander II changed his army, the domestic forces were settled down.Russia is not France, and the military and civilian fish are not so strong.

In this case, it is natural to choose a place with weak strength and sufficient influence.Moscow is the best choice. This position is very good. Once the uprising is successful, Russia can be divided into two parts.

Mattel-Torsky's mood is very heavy, don't look at their supporters now seem to be many, in fact, the chance of successful uprising is still very low.

In the past two years, the Revolutionaries have launched five or six uprisings, all of which ended in failure.The best record is to occupy a small city and then suppressed by the tsarist army.

There are many people who need them to launch an uprising, the British, the French, the Prussians, the Swedes ...

In addition to international support groups, there are also domestic revolutionary groups, groups of parties who are dissatisfied with the reform, including: radical reformers and conservatives with damaged interests, and farmers who have not obtained land ...

These people want them to launch an uprising, but they don't want them to really overthrow the tsarist government.The so-called support is limited to letting them tamper with the tsarist government.

Mattel-Torsky asked with concern: "August, did you get the weapon?"

August replied happily: "Relax, sir, I already got it. I also inspected it personally. All 180 rifles are imported from Austria."

Mattel-Torsky nodded, and since the Near East War, the Russians have become accustomed to using Austrian equipment.

This uprising uses weapons imported from Austria. In addition to being easy to use, it also means swindling.

This is a common technique used by the British. If you succeed, you will make a lot of money.Their conflict with the Russians has been around for a long time, and now the debt is too much to crush.

As an executor, Mattel-Torsky naturally has no opinion.Although he was not anti-Austrian personally, and even a supporter of the Russian-Austrian League, it did not prevent him from accepting British aid.

Compared with before, now the London government has begun to pay attention to eating, there is no support for them in the open fire, but instead passed through the transit of the Kingdom of Prussia.

This is not the British reforming the evil, mainly because the identity has changed.Prior to this, the two powers of Britain and Russia competed for the hegemony in the world. Naturally, both sides did their best.

Now that the Russian Empire has temporarily withdrawn from the world hegemony battle, the victorious British must converge and maintain a good international reputation.

The world's hegemons cannot rely solely on force, but more need to use diplomatic means to solve the problem. During this period, the London government naturally had to hide it.

...

Undercurrents are surging in the Russian Empire, and the British proposed that peace talks also begin in London.

The negotiations were very unsuccessful. The Russian representative demanded that the British lift the blockade on the Baltic Sea, which was rejected and the negotiations stalled.

The negotiations did not affect the battlefield, the war is still continuing.Under the command of Maurice, the Prussian army fought and retreated, and the Polish Uprising was thrown to the Russians as cannon fodder.

Successive victories have boosted the morale of the Russian military, and the war seems to be coming to an end.

Looking at the military map, Franz sighed.The Russian army, which seems to have the upper hand, is actually in danger.

While shrinking the line of defense, the army of the Prussian kingdom is also concentrating, the Russian army is constantly advancing, and the force is inevitably dispersed.

The battlefield has been transferred from the Belarusian region to the Polish region, and the Russians' home-based operational advantages no longer exist.

Although Poland is still their homeland, the Poles are standing on their opposites, which is no different from going deep into enemy countries.

Foreign Minister Weissenberg reported: "Your Majesty, I just received news that the Far East War broke out two months ago, and the Russians added another front."

Franz was shocked and returned to normal again.The time is advanced, but this is also normal.

On the one hand, it is the British diplomacy, on the other hand, the Russians are now in the weakest state, and anyone will fall.

Compared with Europe and Central Asia, the Far East has the lowest importance to the Russians and the weakest place.

Now the two battlefields in Europe and Central Asia have contained a large amount of Russian troops. Even if the tsarist government wants to reinforce the Far East, it is still overwhelmed.

This is not that Alexander II had no soldiers, nor did he have no money in his hands.The key point is that the Central Asian region has fallen into the battlefield. To reinforce the Far East, it is necessary to go through the Siberian bypass and send troops from Europe. It will take about a year.

And the number of troops is not large enough, and it will not be resolved without further work.These restrictions can almost directly declare that the failure of the Russians in the Far East has become a foregone conclusion.

Franz did not continue this topic and instead asked: "Are the Ottomans going to start?"

In order to allow the Ottoman Empire to participate in the war, the British, French, and Austrian countries are putting pressure on them.The Sudanese government is afraid of the Russians, as well as these three hooligans watching the battle.

The British and French navies often haunt Ottoman empire ports, and the pretext is to let them repay the money.Austria is also sharpening its sword in the Sinai peninsula, meaning to reclaim the Holy Land.

Of course, on the bright side, the Vienna government never asked the Ottoman Empire to declare war on Russia, but was only conducting military exercises.

After this exercise, did you evacuate from the Sinai Peninsula?A regiment of troops was left on the peninsula, enough to prove that Austria did not mean to provoke war.

The Sudanese government doesn't know what to think. Anyway, Britain and France gave them an ultimatum.Either fight the Russians, or fight against Britain, France, and Austria.

There are many threats, but the Sudanese government dare not take risks.The Ottoman Empire ’s debts owed to Britain and France could not be paid off, and Austria was eyeing Jerusalem.

Everyone keeps the Ottoman Empire to let them contain the Russians. If this is not possible, the value of their existence will no longer exist.

Don't look at the Russians' frequent failure to pay their debts. That's their confidence.With the exception of this, who is the rest of the countries that dare to pay their debts?

For example: Mexico, the last government was finished because of bad debts.In order to collect debts, French talent sent troops to Mexico, and supported Massimiliano I to succeed.

Mexico, far away in the Americas, has not escaped, not to mention the Ottoman Empire in its immediate vicinity, let alone debt collection by force is the instinct of the powers of this era.

Foreign Minister Weisenberg replied: "With the support of Britain and France, the Sudanese government has issued a national mobilization order.

At present, the Ottoman Empire has assembled 300,000 troops, but they are not preparing to attack the Caucasus, but want to attack Constantinople."

Lee makes you comatose!

In Franz's mind, the idiom popped out involuntarily.

If it is an attack on the Caucasus, it is also possible to take advantage of the opportunity to take advantage of it.Even if the Russians want to retaliate in the future, they will still have the opportunity to take advantage of their geographical advantage.

Constantinople is different. The political interests are too great. The tsarist government would rather lose Poland than give up here.

Once occupied here, Alexander II can only choose to die to the end.Don't look at the Russians' exhaustion and internal conflicts, but when defending Constantinople, the situation changes.

Franz sneered and said: "Since the Sudanese government wants to find death, let them go! Just check the results of their reforms. If they fail, the Ottoman Empire should be dead.

The Habsburg family and the Ottoman Empire are also feuds. Franz naturally has to inherit the fine traditions of his ancestors and pull out this hidden danger in the east.
