Holy Roman Empire

The Russian-Austrian relations have changed, and soon a chain reaction was triggered politically, and the London government can finally sleep peacefully.

A coalition without contradictions is terrible, but a coalition with many contradictions is not a concern.

Now that the relations between the two countries are cold, the support of the Vienna government for the Russians will definitely be reduced, which is what the London government wants most.

Other problems can be postponed. Only the Russian threat to India must be resolved immediately.

The Indian uprising a few years ago, the British still have fresh memories.It was because of the Russians ’secret support that the London government paid hundreds of millions of pounds in military expenses.

If this hidden danger is not resolved, who can bear it if they come after a short distance?

The most indispensable thing in India is people, and there are a lot of social conflicts. As long as some people fan the flames, the outbreak of rebellion is almost commonplace.

The best way is to separate India from other countries. Small countries do not matter. They have neither the courage nor the power to engage in things. The big countries are different.

In particular, the three countries of Russia, France and Austria are the focus of the London government's strict defense.Now both France and Austria have not extended their paws to India. Only the Russians have expressed interest. The London government naturally wants to cut off the tsarist government.

Letting the Central Asian region become the best choice is to leave such a buffer zone and realize the defense of the enemy outside the country.Even the conflict between Britain and Russia is in Central Asia, and the London government in Central Asia is not distressed.

On the four fronts now, the greatest support from the London government is in Central Asia. Sending mercenaries into battle personally is enough to explain the problem.

On 10 Downing Street, Foreign Minister Raslin Hui reported: "There were no accidents. The negotiation failed, and the Russians were unwilling to make any concessions. The last condition they gave was to restore the pre-war state.

This made our friends unacceptable. The Prussians made territorial claims to the Lithuanian region and also demanded Poland's independence.

The Ottomans wanted to take back Constantinople. It is said that they were still negotiating with Austria to redeem parts of the Balkan peninsula.

The Government of Vienna did not directly refuse, and now it is just that prices have not been discussed. If the Ottoman Empire withdrew Constantinople, the issue of redemption of the Dardanelles is not a big problem, and Austria seems to lack interest in the Black Sea.

The representatives of the Eastern Empire hoped to reclaim the West Xinjiang and the Far East. They are currently playing well in the West Xinjiang region. It is said that the old general still carried the coffin with him.

There is some confusion in Central Asia. It is too difficult to coordinate the joint operations of several Khanates, but their hatred of the Russians is still worthy of recognition.

Our friends are still determined to fight. The situation on the battlefield is generally beneficial to us.

Not long ago, Russian-Austrian relations have changed, and it seems that Alexander II had lost his temper.Encouraged by the capitalists, the tsarist government raised tariffs with Austria, and a cold war broke out between the two sides.

The Austrians tit-for-tat raised the prices of exported commodities by approximately 50%, and some commodities also increased their prices by 100%.

If there is no accident, Austria ’s support for the Russians will be further reduced in the following wars, and the Russians have no chance to retreat this time."

These conditions are obviously not acceptable to the tsarist government.Otherwise, the Russian empire will soon be lapped, especially Constantinople has no room for negotiation.

Russo-Austrian relations are cold, and the London government originally operated it.Any contradictions are accumulated little by little. Some people in the tsarist government feel that they are losing money in the alliance with Austria. There are also such people in the Vienna government.

In this context, I met again the provocative British, and the usual small contradictions were naturally magnified infinitely.

When Franz knows it, there is nothing he can do, but the relationship between the two countries will continue to deteriorate.The same is true of Alexander II. Even if this situation is discovered, it cannot be prevented.

In addition to benefits, everyone also has to face.The benefits brought by the Russian-Austrian alliance are no longer enough for them to suppress conflicts.

The two powerful emperors were reluctant to give in, and things gradually became more serious. Only after the sequelae broke out, the two sides would re-emphasize the role of the alliance.

Obviously, the British will not leave such an opportunity.The continued separation of the Russian-Austrian alliance has become the most important relationship of the British Foreign Office.

Prime Minister John Russell said with a smile: "It seems that the peaceful means have failed, so the next step is to test the strength.

The Russians fighting alone are not so terrible.As long as the war is dragged to next year, I am afraid that the tsarist government ’s wallet will be urgent again?"

John Russell is in a very good mood. If possible, he does not mind awarding a medal to Russian capitalists and bureaucrats. It is still the highest grade.

According to the plan, they originally thought it was the Austrians who caused the deterioration of Russian-Austrian relations.After all, the Russians are still fighting on all sides. How can they ignore the relationship between the two countries?

It doesn't matter who made the first thing, the end result is the same anyway.The current changes directly increase the cost of the Russian war.

War is a golden beast, money is really spent.Don't look at the Tsarist government's huge profits, but the bureaucratic groups are too greedy, and they will be squandered quickly no matter how much money they have.

This is the commonality of the old empires. Which of the British, French, Russian, Austrian, Western, Dutch and Portuguese are not corrupt empires?

It's just that the Tsarist government is more powerful. The chaotic system provides a breeding ground for corruption, while Anglo-French Olympics has a system that can curb corruption to a certain extent.

Even Franz has no way to completely solve the problem of corruption. He can only adopt the policy of killing pigs from time to time. After three to five years, he will have a major anti-corruption campaign, killing chickens and monkeys to deter bureaucratic groups.

The advantage of this is that it allows the bureaucrats to learn more intelligently, knows what money can't be touched, and converges for a while.

At this point, it is already the ultimate in this era.It is impossible to prevent corruption.

The final result is naturally, there are always 7 or 8 dollars spent on the 10 yuan with constraints, and 4 yuan or 5 yuan with the 10 yuan without constraints, which is not easy.

After thinking about it, Chancellor of the Exchequer Agarwal replied: "Not so fast, the tsarist government is still looking for ways to raise funds, and it is not completely empty.

Of course, if the fire in their country is ignited, then the Tsarist government ’s wallet will really be exhausted.

At that time, the Tsarist government should declare bankruptcy, lay off all its debts, and the Russian-Austrian alliance should almost break down."

The actual situation is more serious, because of the war, there is a large amount of gold and silver outflow from the Russian Empire every year. This outflow rate has far exceeded the replenishment rate of mining.

The tsarist government's reduction in imports from Austria also has a "money shortage" factor. After all, this is a cash transaction, and all they come up with are hard currency.

In one transaction, the equivalent of silver can range from a few million to two million, and can be as high as tens of millions.

This is also the reason for the sharp increase in loans between Russia and Austria. The tsarist government cannot provide enough cash in the short term, and can only use physical mortgage loans to pay for the goods.

This kind of collateral must be established under the stability of the Russian Empire. If there is a civil war, many collaterals will be worthless in an instant.

At present, the tsarist government holds a lot of real estate, such as: ports and docks, mines, farms, forest farms, shops and houses in cities ...

These are still good collaterals, and each year can generate a portion of the revenue.Once the civil war broke out, these things were worthless.

...

In Moscow, Matetorsky did not rush to launch an uprising.There were so many international friends behind this uprising, and it was natural for the rebel experts to exchange their experiences.

After specialized training, Matte Torski has evolved.In order to mobilize more people to support the revolution, he is launching a workers' strike and organizing farmers to fight taxes.

After the war, prices have skyrocketed, but wages have not increased, but overtime has been extended. Everyone is fortunate to work hard for a day, and the rewards even become a delusion to fill the stomach of the family.

Throughout 1866, there were 76 large and small strikes in the Russian Empire. Undoubtedly, these unorganized resistances were in vain and all were suppressed.

Farmers are also unhappy, and the high war tax makes them difficult to accept.

Although the Tsarist government's actual war tax is not high, it is not something that Alexander II can stop by overcharging.

A young man whispered: "Sir, the Prussians are urging again. They want us to find a way to cut off the Moscow railway and cut off the supplies of the tsarist army."

There are not many Russian railways, and Moscow has exactly one.As long as the railway is cut off, the food in the Volga River and the industrial products produced in Moscow will be more difficult to enter and transport to the front.

In fact, the strategic position of the Volga River is more important. As the mother river of Russia, here can be connected by water to Moscow and St. Petersburg.However, it freezes in the winter and cannot be used.

After a moment of contemplation, Matte Torski frowned and replied: "Reassure them that we will complete the agreement!"

Obviously, he did not want to cooperate with the Prussians, and if it was not possible, Matetorsky would not be willing to betray Russian interests.

The geographical location of Moscow is very important. It is not only the second largest industrial base of the Russian Empire, but also the main link between the East and the West. It is also one of the most important food production areas of the Russian Empire.

At present, the three major grain producing areas of the Russian Empire are Poland, surrounding Moscow (Volga Basin), and Ukraine. Other areas have not yet been developed.

The Polish region can no longer be expected, and chaos in the surrounding areas of Moscow will leave Ukraine alone.

Then the lack of food will also become a major problem for the Tsarist government, or an unsolved problem.Not only will the soldiers on the frontline be hungry, but St. Petersburg will not be able to hold on for long.

The Prussians sent them to the Moscow region in order to cut off the Russian logistics and weaken the war potential of the Tsarist government.

Without local supplements, I hope to import from the outside, and not to mention whether the Tsarist government's wallet can support it, the key is that their capacity simply cannot meet the demand.

Matetorsky did not want to be a puppet. He wanted to overthrow the tsarist government and build a free country.

After arriving in the Moscow region, he took the initiative to alienate the Prussians, on the grounds that it was for secrecy, in fact, he did not want to cut the ground.

But now he cannot do without the support of the Prussians, and even more so without the support of the British people behind him, and he has to make a grateful look.

In this era, the industry of the Russian Empire did not develop, and the number of workers was not large. It was not enough to overthrow the rule of the tsarist government.

In order to make up for the lack of strength, Matetorsky focused on a large number of farmers.Alexander II liberated the serfs and won the support of everyone, which became the biggest problem of the uprising.

"Qingjun side" This is an uprising slogan sponsored by an international friend for free.The purpose is naturally to attract more people to participate in the uprising. After all, the czar ’s reputation among the people is still very good, and he directly rebelled the people and did not agree.

This is contrary to Matetorski's ideal.European cultural traditions have determined that once this flag is displayed, even if the government is overthrown, the tsar or the tsar will at most use the constitutional monarch to restrain it.

Nicholas I regained Constantinople and left enough political remains for Alexander II. He himself announced the abolition of serfdom and won the support of tens of millions of newly liberated Russian farmers.

Matte Torski is very skeptical that even if the current government is overthrown, Alexander II can still hold the power.

Although the "Qingjun side" is good, he also placed himself under the tsar, and the name of the monarch and minister was determined, and he was naturally at a political disadvantage.

However, this slogan has won the support of many international friends.The reason is needless to say, everyone is a monarchy, so it is natural to support this system.

"Hey!"

With a deep sigh, Matte Torski reluctantly chose to compromise.The various parties within the Revolutionary Party have gathered forces, and it has long been a monolithic one. His leader can't say anything.

The bourgeoisie who supported them just wanted to control their power through the revolution, but they were not prepared to lift the tsar.

Most of the Revolutionaries also support the retention of the tsar. How can they counterattack become nobles without the tsar?

Do n’t expect everyone ’s ideological consciousness to be high. Most of the revolutionary parties rebelled because they were dissatisfied with reality, and did not have the lofty ideal of liberating mankind.

Matetorski can't go against the wishes of everyone, otherwise it will be a meeting for up to three or five days for another leader.

On December 12, 1866, under the leadership of Matetorsky, many Russian Revolutionary Party alliances launched the Double Twelve Uprising in Moscow.

The uprising army used the "Qing Qing side" as its political program, and called on all Russian people to stand up and kill the polluters and return to the tsar.
