Holy Roman Empire

It is also a good thing that the Habsburg family does not participate in the throne competition. Only from the standpoint of bystanders can we make the most favorable decision.

Moreover, the current Spanish kingdom is a mess, and it is not so easy to solve internal problems.

The courtiers throughout the ages have a common problem and do not like strong monarchs.The succession system in Europe is perfect, the situation is better, there is no room for them to play.

This time, Spain's king election is different. The king of foreigners cannot do without the support of local power, so the last king of Spain is probably an incompetent king.

A hapless Mexican emperor has been born, and if there is another incompetent king, Franz doubts that the glory of the Habsburg family can still have a few points.

After all, the palms and hands are flesh.The son is too young to ignore, the two younger brothers and several collateral princes have the same opportunity, Franz is not easy to interfere.

It would have been difficult for Spain to come up with, and yet another king with poor ability would not make the problem more complicated?

There is no doubt that the Habsburgs have cultivated many defective products. In addition to the idealist Massimiliano, there are also young children who eat, drink and play.

In terms of destructiveness, the younger boys are far from idealists.But it is impossible to expect these people to succeed.

Prime Minister Felix said: "Your Majesty, judging from the current situation, the battle for the Spanish throne cannot be ended in a short time.

Coupled with the fight for the Polish throne next door, it has also been settled. I am afraid that the situation in Europe will become more tense.

In order to cope with the complicated situation that follows, we need to make preparations in advance to avoid being caught by surprise when we get it."

Will war break out in continental Europe?No one can answer this question, and it ’s all a matter of moments.

From the perspective of the Vienna government, of course, I do not want to see that at this time war broke out in Europe.

The second industrial revolution has just begun, Austria has finally reached the forefront of the world, and once the war broke out, it was completely abandoned.

Franz can control Austria, but there is no way to control the remaining European countries.Now that everyone has such a strong smell of gunpowder, if any of the two goods provoke a war, it will be a tragedy.

The battle for the throne of Spain in time and space triggered the Franco-Prussian War. Now that the Prussians have no courage to PK with the French, who can guarantee that the French will not take the initiative to do things?

The French have already had the greatest God this year, and they have the second best signs.The British at sea can still suppress them, and no one on land is in the eyes.

If the French invaded Austria, Franz laughed and killed them easily.If they attack Prussia, the German Confederation or Belgium, this is confusing.

In the local battle, Franz had full confidence to win.Cross-border operations will only be known after fighting.

There are many things to consider in war, and the strength that can be invested in different regions is also different.

The Russian is a negative textbook, restricted by traffic, and unable to exert his strength in the troop. As a result, he was counterattacked.

France and Austria, the original time and space, are all negative textbooks on their knees before they can show their full strength.

The Franco-Austrian alliance is even less reliable than the Russian-Austrian alliance. The two sides only need to form a temporary alliance because of their interests.There is no such thing as traditional friendship at all, and turning over the history of the two countries is a history of war.

Since the Middle Ages, the Habsburg dynasty has been consumed with the French, and the two sides have begun to die.

Charles V also did it during the period: punching Ottoman and kicking France.

Of course, there is more time to be beaten.Generally speaking, there is a win and lose, which can be proved from the fact that all three are still alive.

Since there is no historical burden, there is no pressure to tear up the covenant.For credibility, no monarch has strictly followed it since Maximilian I.

So far, Franz has not breached the contract, and if he is lucky, he may break this record.

Now everyone's credibility is based on the premise of insufficient interests.As long as the benefits are in place, the covenant is waste paper.

"First of all, prepare for a limited amount of war, such as increasing reserve training, and don't blindly expand the number of troops, so as not to stimulate the countries and make the situation more complicated.

The possibility of a full-scale war on the European continent is very small now, and there is no need to cause nervousness. Even if the situation suddenly gets out of control, everyone is not prepared and we will not suffer."

Franz doesn't think there will be a war now, unless everyone's collective brainstorming, or even if there is a conflict, you can force it down.

On this issue, the British are allies of Austria, and both sides have a need to maintain the balance and stability of Europe.

The effect of the butterfly effect is powerful. The original space-time was supported by the French. Amadeo I, who inherited the throne, is now strongly opposed by Napoleon III.

No way, Napoleon III annexed the kingdom of Sardinia. At that time, the royal family of Sardinia was not directly ousted from power, and the two sides had become enemies.

To fight for Europe, the French must first stabilize Spain.Napoleon III was naturally impossible to watch the birth of an anti-French king of Spain, which directly eliminated Amadeo.

The candidates were eliminated one by one, and Franz felt a little bit distressed about Spain.Almost all candidates with high approval ratings were rejected by the French.

If it was Spain in its heyday, naturally it did not care about the French attitude.It is not possible now. If a monarch strongly opposed by the French is forcibly supported, Napoleon III will definitely send troops to intervene.

The interim government did not have the confidence to say no to the French and had to continue to vote.Those with high support ratings were eliminated, and even candidates with low support ratings succeeded to the throne, I am afraid it would be difficult to convince everyone.

It can be said that if the French haven't done anything, Spain will soon be killed.A king who does not have a high support rating and wants to control this country will have fun in the future.

Franz is not prepared to intervene, the French have gone off course, and whether the Spaniards contain the final results are the same.

Without their containment, the French can go further on the road to death.That being the case, why bother to take advantage of it.

The effort and gains are proportional. Austria ’s energy is not unlimited. If you invest more in Spain, you will naturally invest less in other places.

...

Blessing is unparalleled, misfortune is not alone.

1868 was destined to be a hard time for the Spanish people. In the first half of the year, the conservative economic crisis suffered. In the second half of the year, the battle was raging again.

The status quo before the Kingdom of Spain's revolution was: land mergers were serious, farmers had no land to grow; a large number of urban factories went bankrupt, and unemployed people were everywhere.

After the success of the revolution, the situation continued to improve, but on the contrary, it became worse, adding a collapse of public order.

The interim government has neither ruling experience nor the ability to control the situation.As soon as he came to power, the police force of Isabel II was abolished.

The slaves who suppressed the revolution are gone, and the security of Madrid is gone.The rebel army does not mean that the military discipline is strict, and more often it is a crowd.

The Spanish rebel army fought better than the Uzbekistan, but it was a Uzbekistan in order to maintain law and order.The policemen who were hated by them in the past are actually guardians of order.

After there are no restrictions, vicious crimes such as robbery, rape, murder, etc. continue to be staged in Madrid.

Even worse order is better than nothing. The people of Madrid did not understand it before, and now they finally understand it.

As a price, Madrid became the most chaotic capital in all of Europe.The uprising army, which was embraced by the people and entered the city, lost the hearts of the people in the shortest time.

These small problems can't be taken care of by the interim government. The election of kings is a major issue. Other issues are minor issues.

The big problem soon came. In October 1868, a massive uprising broke out in Cuba, thousands of miles away. The rebels grew like a snowball, and the Cuban crisis broke out.

For Spain, this is a heavy blow.Cuba is one of Spain's richest colonies, and can provide a huge amount of wealth to Spain every year.

Prior to this, Americans had bid for 100 million US dollars to buy Cuba, and the Spanish government refused to consider it, and simply refused.

Obviously, the value of Cuba is far above this.Since Spain has not fallen behind, the blood transfusion of the Cuban colony is also an important guarantee for maintaining the status of the Spanish power.

Not only is the government anxious, but many vested interests in the country are also anxious.Most of Cuba ’s increased wealth has gone into personal pockets. It would be sad for many Spanish aristocrats without this income.

The just-held Francisco government has encountered its first challenge. If the Cuban issue cannot be dealt with properly, the Kingdom of Spain will be hit hard, both financially and economically.

The support of capitalists and nobles to the government will also be affected.In any case, Francisco must suppress the rebellion.

There is no doubt that this rebellion is not simple, and there are international strengths behind it. Otherwise, it is impossible to rely on local indigenous people to burst suddenly.

Although the United States is divided into two, these do not mean that they are divided.It also supported the civil war in Mexico and encouraged the Indian tribes to rebel against Austria in Central America.

Now it ’s Spain ’s turn to be unlucky. The four major powers that interfered in the American civil war are the best to bully.Now the Americans begin to test, also from Spain.

Prior to this, whether it was to support the Mexican rebels or to instigate the rebellion of the Central American Indian tribe, it was carried out in secret.

It is the arms smugglers who are responsible for the execution, and the evidence left behind does not involve the federal government at all.The situation changed when Cuba was doing things, and the movement was much larger.

Almost everyone knows that Americans are supporting Cuba ’s independent organization.This time the support intensity is too great to hide at all.

This was the disaster caused by the economic crisis. The British and Austrian countries dumped commodities to the United States, plunging the United States into an economic crisis.

Fortunately, the Confederation of Confederacy, anyway, their industry is not good, the losses caused are not great.The federal government in the north is miserable, and it is completely miserable.

In New York, it was raining.Now when New Yorkers pass Wall Street, they must pay attention to their heads, or else they will be innocent and will be wronged if they are killed.

It was at this time that the uprising against Cuban rule broke out in Cuba. In order to get rid of the economic crisis, the federal capitalists set their sights on Cuba.
