Holy Roman Empire

There are still many smart people in the world. After the Habsburg family gave up the Polish throne, several European kings announced their abandonment.

This also includes the Bonaparte family, Napoleon III very wisely gave up this huge pit in Poland.Although he wanted to support Poland to check and balance Austria, Napoleon III was still not optimistic about Poland's success.

If there are any factors that the Poles despise them, I don't know.Anyway, in this era, the Bonaparte family is still an upstart. Under normal circumstances, it is not eligible to become a candidate.

Wouldn't it be embarrassing if the Poles won the alternate list?It is not surprising that such a thing can be done with the power of death.

Another strong competitor, the Gotha family, also withdrew, and Poland ’s poor strategic position prevented them from being discouraged.

The so-called monarchy in Europe has always been a game of forces from all sides, and political and diplomatic means are indispensable.It depends on whether the protagonist is willing or not, and there are many people who do not want to be king.

Now all major European powers have supporters, making the situation even more chaotic.

Prussia supported William I as the king of Poland. After being opposed by France and Austria, he also supported the side branch of the royal family, Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen Carol, as King of Poland, but was still opposed by Fau

Spain and Austria supported the Bourbon family to become kings of Poland, but were strongly opposed by France and Prussia;

The Russians supported George, the son of Christian IX of Denmark as king of Poland, which was strongly opposed by the Kingdom of Prussia;

...

It is worth mentioning that Austria also supports George as the Kingdom of Poland. This is not contradictory, and no one can support only one candidate.

Anyway, it is causing trouble for Prussia, as long as it is not William I, who is the king of Poland is the same for Franz.

Prussia and Poland add up, but it is not 1 + 1 = 2. In fact, they have completed the integration of resources, which is a big European country.

For the safety of the North Line, Franz will naturally not let them merge easily.For Austria, it is enough for Pupo to join forces against the Russian Empire, and letting them merge is asking for trouble.

Just as the original space-time Germany did not dare to annex Austro-Hungary, and Franz did not dare to annex the Poppo Federation, that thing would really explode.

The positions of the great powers are different, and the Polish Parliament is distressed and has no idea who to choose.

The bitter Polish people of the parliament are not aware of it. Now they are exercising their right to freedom, holding signs and shouting slogans, marching on the street, and by the way surrounding the parliament building.

If someone listens carefully, you can also hear: "George", "William", "Carol" ...

That's right, the people who care about the belonging of the Polish king also made their own voices.

How many people here are sincere, and how many are pulled over to count, you need to judge for yourself.

The nascent Polish Parliament has never seen such a big scene.It used to be that they organized people to shout outside, and now it is their turn to call the slogan.

The czars were not easy to mess with, but when they shouted slogans, they were so worried that they were not as arrogant as those outside, and directly forced them to make decisions around the parliament.

"Send someone to ask, what are they going to do? Damn, why did I hear Napoleon, would they want a dead man to be king of Poland?"

Speaker Alex said furiously that he was almost mad.If the king is so easy to choose, why should they worry?

Difficulties are common, prosperity is difficult.

When playing in the mountains and rivers, there was a common enemy, the Russians, and everyone could cooperate closely.Now that Poland is independent, various parties have begun to compete for power and profit.

The demonstrators who protested outside were organized by the losers in the struggle for power.The purpose is self-evident, that is, to turn over by supporting the king's political speculation.

In fact, the power of the Chinese Republicans is not small.It's just that everyone is afraid of European countries' interference and will not dare to adopt a republican system.

The Polish Parliament has been unable to make a decision, and the Republicans have also made great efforts.They made troubles in the voting, delayed the time for parliamentary decision-making, and prepared to become a substantive republic first.

As long as government agencies have stabilized, established facts have been created.In the future, the election of a king is just a rubber stamp.

No one wants to have one more shackle on their heads, and the upper levels of the interim government are working hard to lift the king.Now the demonstrations outside can be said to have broken the plans of many people.

...

On November 11, 1867, the "Double Eleven" massacre in Poland that shocked the world broke out.Under the careful guidance of the crowds, the situation quickly and quickly became out of control and hit the parliament building.

By the time the belated police arrived to disperse the crowd, 17 members of Parliament were killed in the chaos and dozens of members including Speaker Alex were injured.

When such a big thing happened, the Polish government was naturally unable to give up, and white terror enveloped the streets of Warsaw.

Behind the scenes, the black hand was not found, and the people who participated in the march had already closed the prison.In any case, the Polish parliament lost its authority.

The news reached Vienna, and Franz smiled.Such obvious things do not need to be discussed. The suppression of the parade often happens. It is not new for the parade to be occupied by the parliament, but it is the first time that so many members have been killed.

In a place like Parliament, the police are late when they are shocked by the march.Does such a simple question need to be discussed?

Under normal circumstances, as long as the parade is found rushing to the parliament building, the police should send a large amount of police force to protect the parliament even if they do not intercept it.

There is no doubt that this is caused by internal rights struggles.The parliament sweeps the ground, and the rights of the government are naturally strengthened.

Opportunities can also be used to crack down on competitors. Any revolutionary group that participates in the organization of the march cannot be said clearly.

Protests and demonstrations can also be said to be the exercise of civil rights, hitting parliament and killing members of Parliament is a terrorist attack.

The only winner is the current Polish government.No, they are not necessarily winners. If they are not successful, they are only pawns, which are used by others.

In the opinion of Franz, the Prussians are very likely to plot this conspiracy.The Polish government seems to have greatly increased its rights, but it has actually fallen into a dilemma.

The domestic rights struggle rules have been broken, which is not a good thing for the Polish government.The government is the rule maker and the rule maintainer.

Now that someone has broken the rules, others obviously will not continue to follow the rules.The bottom line in which political struggle does not involve personal safety is broken, and everyone must be prepared for assassination in the future.

The ruling foundation of the Polish government has been shaken. They want to stabilize the domestic situation without the support of Prussia. Then the penetration of the Kingdom of Prussia into Poland will definitely go further.

If it was n’t Franz who did n’t want to go to the muddy waters, Austria would now step in and it ’s very likely that Hu Prussia would be intercepted.

But this penetration is useless to Austria, the Kingdom of Poland is delicious, and Franz has no appetite now.You can only watch the delicious food that you can't eat.

...

In the Royal Palace of Berlin, William I also doubted the real murderer of this incident.He didn't believe that the top level of the Polish government would be so stupid, and he broke the unspoken rules for a momentary advantage.

William I asked: "Prime Minister, who do you think is most likely to plan this operation?"

The soldiers also quibble, and let Mao Qi answer this question as a professional counterpart.It was definitely not deliberately making things difficult. William I was not so petty.

Mao Qi analyzed: "Your Majesty, I think the Polish government should be innocent. According to the current international situation, I think the Austrians are the most suspected. Throughout the last two European wars, they are all winners.

Britain and Austria are the best at creating incidents, provoking international relations and creating international conflicts.The British need us to join forces with the Poles against Russia and Austria, there is no reason to start this time.

Austria is different. They only need us and Poland to join forces against Russia, but they do n’t want to see the two countries merge.It is necessary to create a little conflict between us and Poland.

Of course, the French and Russians are also suspected.However, it is too far away from Poland and has limited influence. It is probably not easy to plan this operation.

Not to mention the Russians, the Russian-Polish conflict is so deep that even if the tsarist government wants to do things, the Poles may not be willing to cooperate with them."

This answer sounds very reasonable. William I always feels a little wrong, which is not like the style of the Vienna government.

Austria ’s influence in Poland is not small, and the volunteers who ran to participate in the Polish independence movement did not know how many Austrian spies.

These people seem inconspicuous. In fact, they also occupy a lot of important positions in the Polish government. There are many ways to provoke relations between the two countries, and it is not necessary to be so extreme.

If something is exposed, the international influence it brings will be greater.If you think about it, William I didn't say what it meant, and it didn't matter if Austria was back.

In the absence of evidence, it does not matter whether or not Austria did it. In fact, the Poles have no ability to retaliate back.

Franz did not yet know that a black pot had fallen from the sky.Franz considered it a conspiracy planned by the Prussians, and the Prussians also believed that Austria was provoking their relationship with Poland.

...

St. Petersburg, Alexander II is listening to the reports of his people.If the content is sent out, it will definitely shock the entire European continent.

According to profit inference, whoever gets the most profit is the most suspected.The Polish government and Prussia have become the biggest suspects. Who would think of Russia that has nothing to do with it?

I am afraid that now the Polish government has put this account on Prussia. Even if it is inseparable from the support of the Prussians in a short period of time, the relationship between the two countries is still cast a shadow.

It is estimated that no one will like an ally who wants to interfere in his internal affairs.Once the Polish king has stabilized, the relationship between Pupo will change.

This is not just a conspiracy, but also a conspiracy.In the absence of evidence, the Prussians could not clear the suspicions at all.

Take a step back, even if it proves innocent.Can the Pubo relationship be restored as before?Obviously impossible, unless the Berlin government gives up this opportunity to penetrate Poland.

Alexander II only provided an excuse for the conflict between the two countries. There are too many places where the interests of the two countries may conflict.As long as they cannot be united, they are doomed to contradictions.

If Austria is blamed, Alexander II ’s calculations will be more perfect.The deterioration of relations between Pubo and Austria means that the Russian Empire will have an ally in future wars.

The taste of fighting alone is not wonderful at all. Alexander II did not want to come for the second time.

learn from mistakes.

After this lesson, Alexander II knew the importance of allies.In his youth, he advocated "pro-Publin", and now it looks more like a joke.

Among countries, deciding on foreign policy based solely on personal preference is totally stupid.

Unlike the old empire, the Kingdom of Prussia must expand to be strong.At that time, the three surrounding empires could not win, and finally chose to fight against the Russian Empire.

This is not because the Russian Empire is weak, but because Russia has no allies.And from the breakthrough of the Russian Empire, you can also harvest the friendship between Britain and France without worrying about money and food.

Of course, transportation is also a very important factor. Both France and Austria have a complete railway network. As the first Prussia to understand the importance of railways to war, they had made an assessment before initiating war.

Fao was able to invest too much troops, and if not, they were taken away in a wave. They chose the Russian Empire with limited troops.

No matter how many reasons, the Russian empire was isolated first.Regardless of reason, the attack on the Russian empire is justified by all European countries.

If you attack other countries, it is easy to be hostile.Before Russia entered the war, Prussia's attack on Denmark was condemned by European countries, and many people were calling for international sanctions.

As a result, as soon as the Tsarist government entered the war, the situation changed in an instant.While condemning Prussia's invasion of Poland, everyone supported Prussia and Russia's efforts.

Austria, the only weighty ally of the Russian Empire, was also estranged after Alexander II succeeded him.Diplomatic changes directly affected the war, and Austria ’s support for them has fallen by more than one grade compared to the period of the Near East War.

After summing up the experience and lessons, Alexander II also began to attach importance to diplomacy, and the differentiation of Pupo relationship is only one part of it.
