Holy Roman Empire

Chapter 463 Is Alliance Formed?

Under the building of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, more than one hundred people gathered, took out the prepared slogans, and shouted: "Protest", "Protest" ...

There are also journalists from various European countries awaiting the outcome of the meeting, and this time they all looked at the bustling.Photographers are busy adjusting the camera, preparing to record this scene of history.

Without any hesitation, Weisenberg ordered the crackdown for the first time.After receiving the name, the police who heard the news rushed up with a baton without any politeness, and dealt with the demonstrators as quickly as possible.

The protesters were gone, and Austria's face was lost.This premeditated demonstration made this international conference awkward.

The Italian protests did not affect the outcome of the conference.With the unanimous position of France and Austria, the General Assembly soon adopted a new international law that divided regions by cultural traditions.

To some extent, this law is also beneficial to the British.They can use this as a basis to include English-speaking areas in their sphere of influence.

Powers, they usually don't have a lot of faces.Even this international convention has many interpretations. This is a deliberate gap left by everyone.

When needed, it can be interpreted according to the aspect that best suits one's own interests to obtain the greatest benefits.

For large and small countries, international conventions are inherently double standards.If it is far-fetched, it can become one of the foundations of the legalization of the colony.

Weisenberg was not happy at all.The sudden appearance of the protest crowd has greatly damaged the reputation of the Vienna government.

Confidentiality is impossible. Representatives from so many countries, as well as journalists from major European newspapers, are not obliged to keep Austria secret.

Weissenberg can only expect the people below to react fast enough, without reporters taking pictures, otherwise the trouble will be even greater.

Everything happened, and the lid must not be covered.It was impossible for Weisenberg to send someone to inspect the reporters' photo equipment, which is what the Vienna government still needs.

Of course, if no diplomatic representatives are present, then it is impossible to say.It's a code of conduct for the great powers to watch people serve food.

The guests were sent away, and Weisenberg's smile did not exist.With a sullen face, he said: "Send someone to ask the Vienna police station what is going on, why is there suddenly a group of people to disrupt the situation?"

The investigation has nothing to do with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, but when it comes to diplomacy, Weisenberg must be asked.

He did not think that the Vienna Police Department would approve today's parade, could hide the police system, and gather such a group of people, there must be a problem behind it.

Italian states also sent representatives, and none of them jumped out to object, so planning this farce would be meaningless.

Even if the protest scale is increased tenfold, it has no effect.It is impossible for Austria to terminate the plan because the Italians opposed it.

The last damage is only the international reputation of the Vienna government, but reputation is not equal to strength. As long as the strength is strong enough, no one dares to provoke even if it is notorious.

Now the reputation of Austria among the major powers is still good. With the three countries of Britain, France and Russia as the background, it will not be rotten anymore.

The big deal was a scolding of "tyranny" by international people. Anyway, they didn't count it. Anyway, the Austrian government also has official media. It's a big deal.

Tomorrow in the newspapers in Vienna, there will be news of criminals colluding with foreign forces and impacting international conferences.

A middle-aged security officer immediately replied: "Yes, Minister!"

Weissenberg did not stop and drove directly to the palace.In addition to such a big thing, it still needs to report to the emperor.

The Franz had received news and was arrested by the police minister on the phone.

No matter who the opponent is, the enemy can organize hundreds of people to do things in Vienna, and the police know nothing about it?

This is not dereliction of duty?As long as you are a little more vigilant, you can intercept in advance without making jokes.

Franz did not think that the other party was willing to send hundreds of spies to do things.The value of spies lies in the hidden dark places. Once exposed, it will be dead.

The group that has come out to protest is obviously impossible to have a core figure, and most of them are fools who have been fooled.

Austria is not France, unreported demonstrations are illegal activities, and the crime of exile is enough.

It is strange to be disgusted by the government of Vienna and not to be exiled to the poor mountains and waters.Maybe it will be thrown on an uninhabited island in the Arctic Ocean, and be accompanied by ice and snow all day.

Of course, it is more likely to be frozen to death.The glacier world of tens of degrees below zero throughout the year is not something that ordinary people can survive. Never underestimate the revenge of bureaucrats.

Smart people are hiding in the dark and remote control, even if they submit a petition to the Vienna government, it is better than going directly.

The former is a legal act, even if the Vienna government does not accept it, they will not have trouble; the latter is a crime, and it is impossible for bureaucrats who are affected by official career to let them go.

Franz doesn't care about the life and death of these people.He was angry that the police's control of Vienna was not enough. This obviously abnormal situation was not found.

Today, hundreds of people can suddenly appear under the building of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Does this mean that one day, there may be a sudden rebellion of hundreds of people?

The number of "hundreds of people" is not small. Most of the revolutions in Europe did not have hundreds of people at the time of the uprising.

If so many people suddenly burst at a critical moment, the damage caused will be inestimable.

"There are always people who want to harm me." Many people have this kind of thinking. As an emperor, it will be more serious. Franz never dared to take it lightly.

When Weisenberg arrived at the palace, things almost came to fruition.The arrested person had confessed under police interrogation.

It is not only the Italians who participated in this illegal activity. After all, there are not many Italians in Vienna, and it is not easy to gather hundreds of people.

The results of the interrogation showed that five Italian students were organizing the protest, and most of the remaining people were hired temporarily with high salaries. The middle-aged man named Robinson was given the news.

The clues are broken here. The information of "Robinson" is not known to these secondary two teenagers. They were unintentionally encountered at the "Feike" bar.

The confused ones were fooled by someone they just knew.In order to guarantee the territorial integrity of Italy, they decided to fight hard.

Participants were hired on the day of the event. The Vienna police naturally had no time to receive the news and waited for the enthusiastic masses to report the incident. Everything had happened.

Franz was very dissatisfied with the results of this investigation.Even if no one knows who the black hand is behind the scenes, the Vienna government is in a state of embarrassment, which is simply disgraceful.

Franz frowned and asked, "Tyron, haven't you received the news yet?"

Intelligence leader Talen immediately replied: "The initial judgment of this Robinson is a pseudonym. The first appearance was at the Feike Bar, where I first met these few idiots.

Before and after, they had a total of three contacts, all in this bar.We had sent someone to contact the staff at the time, and a bartender provided clues that Robinson's beard was glued on.

Now with the portraits described by the parties, I am afraid it is difficult to find this Robinson.There are too few clues, we need time."

Professional spies are not easy to deal with. In the absence of surveillance, it is also a bar and fish mixed place. It is really difficult to find someone.

Even Robinson appeared just right, no one knew who he was.Under normal circumstances, such spies are clearly covered by work, and it is difficult to develop abnormalities on the surface.

It's not easy to get preliminary clues in such a short time.

Franz said fiercely: "Continue to investigate, don't let go of any clues, this hidden danger will not be removed, it will be a scourge sooner or later.

Who is the black hand behind the scenes? This is a good guess. Anyway, there are only two or three.Judging from the behavior style, the enemy is very cunning, leaving no valuable clues, much like John Bull's handwriting.

Fau reached an agreement that the British were unable to prevent the Italian region from being redefined, and it was normal to come out and destroy it at this time.

Only a spy was dispatched, and the incident was provoked by Huyou. It is estimated that the hands behind the scenes are crazy.At almost no price, Austria has fallen into a whirlpool of public opinion.

"Like" does not mean "yes." International politics has always been true and false, and true and false, and what they see in the eyes often deceives people.

Now it can only be said that the British are the most suspected. They have both the motive and the strength to commit crimes, as well as many previous convictions.

This also cannot rule out that other countries deliberately stolen British people. As fellow citizens, Franz often did similar things.

Before "Robinson" is caught, it is difficult to accurately judge this issue.Franz doesn't like to follow the feeling, he follows the interests.

Whoever is responsible for this has the greatest benefit to Austria, then the murderer will point to whom.This is why Yangmou is basically easy to succeed, but conspiracy is difficult to achieve this.

As long as the benefits obtained are large enough, even if it is calculated, Franz is willing.In international politics, Austria and the British are all in line with interests.

...

The case is not over yet, a sudden change once again makes the case confusing.

British Foreign Secretary McLean issued an official diplomatic note to Austria, proposing that the three countries of Britain, France and Austria should form an alliance to jointly maintain world peace and stability.

The latter sentence can be skipped directly. The British have never had anything to do with peace. As long as they do n’t engage in things, the European continent will be peaceful.

The focus is on "alignment". Franz's first response to this news was that the Franco-League alliance was exposed.

To allow the British to lower their faces and take the initiative to win over the alliance between France and Austria, except for the "Fao Mito", Franz doesn't think anyone else is eligible to put pressure on them.

Originally, the Fao League was full of contradictions, and now joining another Englishman, how long this alliance can exist is a question worth thinking about.

Franz hesitated and asked directly: "What attitude does the Ministry of Foreign Affairs hold? Do you think we should form an alliance with the British?"

This decision is difficult to make, and the interests involved are too broad. The pros and cons must be weighed carefully.Especially when forming an alliance with the British, it is even more vigilant to add three points.

The pressured Weisenberg said cautiously: "Your Majesty, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs believes that this matter still needs to be discussed in detail with Britain and France to see how much benefit we can obtain before deciding whether to form an alliance."

The alliance between the three countries of Britain, France and Austria clearly has a lot of benefits. At least on the issue of dividing the world, everyone can discuss it behind closed doors.

There are advantages and disadvantages, and the contradiction between the three countries is an important factor hindering the alliance.

These contradictions are not resolved or temporarily suppressed.Then even if it is an alliance, everyone will make this alliance die in name only because of differences in interests.

Sincere cooperation, Franz never expected.The three countries of Britain, France and Austria are the protagonists of this era, and the foreign enemies who can make the alliance of the three countries simply do not exist.

Everyone fighting alone is the existence of an overlord, and there is no real need for alliances at all.This made Franz's expectations of the alliance not high, presumably the British and French are similar.

If there is no conflict of interest between each other, then it is not a bad idea to build an alliance.The reality is exactly the opposite. The main international contradictions in this era are: the contradiction between Britain and France, the contradiction between Britain and Austria, the contradiction between Russia and Russia, and the contradiction between Britain and Russia.

It is not so simple to reconcile the contradictions between the three countries of Britain, France and Austria, unless the British are willing to make major concessions and not engage in ups and downs on the European continent.
