Chapter 459 Redefining the 'Italy Region'

In order to test the British, Franz decided to speed up the process of French annexation of Italy, and now Naples, the Papal State, Tuscany and other states are bargaining with the French.

The absolute gap in strength has made them lose their intention to confront by force.The Austrian government was expected to intervene. Unfortunately, the Vienna government chose to watch the show.

The excuses are all readily available, the old account of 1848.At that time, due to public opinion, these states stood on the opposite side of Austria. Although the noble king was a good friend of Austria, he decisively dragged his hind legs and did not cause substantial trouble to Austria.

Generous Franz never thought about it, and now choosing to stand by and watch is to retaliate, and the Italians have to pay for their willfulness.

These are all plain statements. In secret, the connection between the Habsburg family and the Italian nobility has never been broken.

Austria now supports them, otherwise these state governments may not have the confidence to bargain with the French.

Vienna normally promised to allow France to annex these Italian states, but how to annex depends on the actual situation.

As a member of the noble class, it is no problem to protect class interests now.Napoleon III is also a vested interest, and it is impossible to break this unspoken European rule, otherwise the European continent will not be mixed up.

Austria ’s precedent of rebuilding the Shinra has set an example for Napoleon III, and now he also wants to be Emperor of Italy.

As for the question that there is no emperor in Italy, he is decisively ignored by him. How did the French emperor come? The Italian emperor can copy it. I believe the pope will make the right choice.

Soldiers in Rome forced the Pope to be crowned. This kind of thing has already been done by many seniors. Napoleon III did not mind following the example.

It is naturally impossible to completely merge the Italian region.Austria rebuilt Shinra, that was the Germans themselves wanted to unite and build a powerful country.

Italians also want to be unified, but they are not willing to be unified by the French.Without a basis for public opinion, Napoleon III had to intimidate and lure.

Now the French soldiers have appeared in various Italian states.Failure to take action by force means that the governments of the various countries barely cooperate.

The most is to talk about the conditions. No government has publicly opposed it, leaving the French unable to find a hands-on opportunity.Now these slippery guys are all skyrocketing.

This is what Franz would like to see. It would be more interesting if Napoleon III couldn't help but kill them.

Without the cooperation of these ground snakes, the Italian region will immediately become chaotic. At that time, not only will it not be able to enhance France's national strength, but will consume their strength.

Even if these ground snakes are recovered, it doesn't mean it will be fine.If the French do not intervene at all and rely on the rule of these state governments, it is estimated that it can barely be maintained.

Once involved, anti-French law will become the mainstream of Italy in the future.Even if it is to shift social conflicts, these people will also draw hatred to the French.

Moreover, there are conflicts of interest.Do n’t look at the fact that the capitalists seem to cooperate very well. When the future conflicts between French and Italian capital, they will know how serious the consequences are.

It is almost impossible for this bowl of water to be flattened. Once Italian capitalists are convinced that the government is partial to French capital, it is strange that they do not support the Revolutionary Party.

This believes that the individual's subjective tendencies are too strong, which can almost be said to inevitably happen.This is happening all over Austria, and people often go to the Supreme Court to fight lawsuits.

In many cases, embarrassing situations where both parties are justified will occur, so that the judges do not know what to do, and in the end they will have to negotiate and resolve in private.

Of course, once such an incident is encountered, the legislature will be patched in a targeted manner, and the improvement of the legal system is completed in such a step-by-step manner.

If you arrive in France, I am afraid that you will not have to wait until the lawsuit is over. The people who are demonstrating outside will be able to toss the Paris government to death.

It is estimated that the French are also prepared for these problems, but it is not expected how serious the consequences will be, otherwise it will not be so positive now.

After all, the problems that occurred in Austria were finally resolved properly, and there was no trouble.

Why can't we do things that others can do?The French are not lacking in this arrogance.

Napoleon III has already started paving the way for his son. If he cannot satisfy the French desire for a great power, I am afraid that the future Napoleon IV will have a headache.

Napoleon III, who was already good at playing with people's hearts, could not not have known the terrible nature of this kind of thinking.It is also forced to follow the example of Austria to form Shinra and build a French-Italian empire.

Napoleon III was still full of confidence in the fighting power of the French army. As soon as the United Empire was established, it was the European hegemon.

This can satisfy the pursuit of most French people, and the foundation of the empire has stabilized.Of course, being able to ascend the Italian throne is also a temptation for him personally.

Wealth and wealth always need to return home, for the Bonaparte family, the Italian throne is also very meaningful, although the Napoleonic era had surpassed the Italian king.

Now there are still a lot of powders in Italy. These people are Napoleon III who dared to be an Italian.With force, supporters, and opportunities, why retreat?

As for legal issues, it is no big deal for another election.This time, instead of a national election, just let the state government elect.

As the King of the Kingdom of Sardinia, he is also eligible to stand for election. Who dares to take this position besides Napoleon III?Since it is the only candidate, it is natural to be elected.

In theory, Ludwig I of the Kingdom of Lombardy is also eligible to stand for election, and Lombardy is also a member of the Italian region.Even Franz ’s crown of Venetia is on top of his head, one of the candidates.

It's just that neither Franz nor Ludwig I think of themselves as a member of Italy, so naturally they won't run over and spoil.

Obviously, Napoleon III did not think so.Having multiple jobs in Europe is the standard for established nobles, especially the title of emperor is not too much.

How to kick the two kingdoms of Lombardy and Venetia from Italy became the most troublesome problem of Napoleon III.

Napoleon III did not think that in the face of interests, a paper treaty could bind Austria.If something changed in the middle, Franz jumped out to run for the Italian emperor, he would do the wedding dress for others.

After all, in terms of family influence, the Bonaparte family is still not as good as Habsburg. The deepest heritage of the old aristocrats is that there are many relatives and sufficient legal principles.

In order to speed up the pace of the French, Franz decided not to make Napoleon III embarrassed, or to quit on his own initiative.

...

In Schönbrunn Palace, Franz summoned Foreign Minister Weisenberg and instructed: "The Ministry of Foreign Affairs followed the French and held an international conference in Vienna to re-divide some controversial areas in Europe.

For example, the Venetian and Lombardy regions should belong to the German region, not the Italian region. Now it is the German cultural circle."

This is something that Napoleon III wanted to do but dared not do.The nominal division of the Italian region, in fact, this is also the definition of the impending Italian imperial sovereignty.

No matter how ferocious the unification trend in Italy is, since the collapse of the Roman Empire, the Italian region has never been unified again. This is an indisputable fact.

There is no such thing as legal sovereignty.Now Lombardy and Venetia are unwilling to confuse them, and there are no legal issues.

The region is not a country, so what about sovereignty?Before the birth of the Italian Confederate Empire, the geographical term was changed in advance, which was the political signal that Franz sent to Napoleon III.

Anyway, the geographical division is done manually.It is not impossible to re-divide now.As long as France and Austria are consistent, what can be changed about the geographical scope?

This will not involve the interests of all parties. Even if some people object, there will not be too many problems.Franz thought about the reasons for the division, and organized it according to culture.

In this way, the definition of the German region is broader.With the exception of Lombardy and Venetia, much of the Balkan Peninsula has become a German region.

Regardless of whether the outside world recognizes it or not, the official documents of Austria can change anyway.These regions are indeed German cultural circles, and there is nothing wrong with dividing them according to cultural traditions.

Weissenberg thought about it and said, "Your Majesty, it might be a bit troublesome to do so. These areas are just what everyone calls in accordance with their habits. If the areas are divided according to the cultural circle, I am afraid it will cause many countries to be vigilant.

Vigilance is inevitable. Who makes Austria's propaganda slogan unify Germany?Political slogans have been shouted like this, it is strange that everyone is not vigilant.

Of course, it wouldn't be much better not to call this slogan.Just pull a person in Europe and ask: Does Austria have the ambition to unify Germany? The answer is the same-yes.

Anyway, I can't hide it, it's better to call it out.Over the years, the slogan of the Vienna government shook the earth, and the result was still the same.

Be vigilant, but don't let everyone hate you.After all, Franz is not a radical, holding up the banner of "peaceful reunification", so many states in the Shinra Empire are role models.

If it were not for fear of detonating the situation in Europe, Franz was able to split the German Federal Empire at any time.In recent years, there have been many small states that have been drawn by Austria.

Now if we expand the scope of the German region, it is estimated that Switzerland, Belgium and the Netherlands will not be able to sleep.

Franz said indifferently: "Don't worry, while dividing the area, everyone can sign an international convention to make the regional situation clear that 'regional terms cannot become a unified legal basis', so that they can rest assured."

This is nonsense, and regional nouns have never been a unified legal basis.Could it be that everyone is a human being on the earth, can we legally unify the earth?

The so-called reassuring is better than fooling people, let them relax their vigilance.As for the future, Franz really had no idea of ​​them.

Originally there was only a projectile land, and there were not many resources. It was very troublesome to rule.As long as it is not a brain, Franz will choose to expand in an easier area.

Now, how good is everyone's play, and expanding the scope of the German region is mainly for the purpose of publicity and is conducive to the output of German culture.

It may be inconspicuous now, the future is the big German cultural circle.Otherwise, it will be laid out in advance to make English the mainstream of the world. Is n’t that a tragedy?
