Holy Roman Empire

Late at night, on the ring road of Vienna, under the light of the lights, the Austrian International Hotel is particularly dazzling.

In Vienna, where there is a lot of money, an Austrian hotel with an area of ​​2888.88 acres is definitely a beautiful scenery.

The hotel has all kinds of recreational facilities, it is the most luxurious hotel in this era, and it is also the most expensive hotel in this era.

Being able to live here is itself a symbol of identity.Even the cheapest room requires hundreds of Aegis.

Different rooms correspond to different levels of identity, and inside the palace-style building, only nobles can stay.Ordinary people, even if they are rich, can only live in civilian areas.

So this is Franz ’s most unsuccessful investment. Everyone is well-behaved. Capitalists will not enter noble areas, and nobles will not live in civilian areas.

Even the interior of the nobility is very strict. Everyone will only choose a room with matching identities, and never make a leap.

Nowadays, the business of ordinary rooms is often hot, but there are few customers in the high-end aristocratic area. Especially the most high-end imperial palace has not opened so far.

It is not that the hotel does not accept ordinary people. The problem is that no one dares to cross the Leichi half a step at all.This is determined by the social atmosphere, and once the behavior exceeds the status, it will be rejected.

Slowly it becomes the rules of the hotel, what kind of treatment is the identity of the identity, if it is full, it will be a hotel.

The emperor palace, which was originally priced at 8888 Aegis, became embarrassed and ordinary people could not stay.If a king came to visit, Franz couldn't make people pay.

Angrily, Franz added four more 8s to the price tag, and it became 88888888 Aegis, which forced him to go up at once.

There is no one of the most expensive hotels in the world, and the price is enough to buy two Austrian hotels, and then no one can really afford it.

Not only is the emperor level no one cares, but the following duke level and marquis level basically can not open.It ’s not a question of being unaffordable. The key is the big nobility of this status. Who does n’t have a house in Vienna?

The local nobility does not stay, expecting the foreign nobility to not meet a customer for a year.

A large number of ultra-luxury rooms are left idle, and a lot of cost is required to maintain. The operating costs of the Austrian hotels naturally go up.

If it is not to open a civilian area in time next door, attract a large number of local tyrants by virtue of the brand effect, and open the meeting room, and set up a business membership system, Franz will have to lose his life.

Reality once again proved that things that are too advanced often turn people into martyrs.Many of the presidential suites of later generations did not think about Shu, but the imperial palaces of this era were not interested.

On the contrary, the commercial membership system has been well received in the back, with an annual membership fee of 12,000 Aegis, and a large group of rich people.

Now capitalists like to talk about business at the Austrian Grand Hotel, not only to show off their wealth, but also to reflect their own strength.

Everyone who pays tens of thousands of dues every year will not be a liar. The hotel first helped review the other party's information. Without certain strength, it is not eligible to become a member.

Various profit-making routines have been added, and the profit of the Austrian Grand Hotel is still just passable, knowing how franz the original plan was.

The Marquis Maclean, lying on the hotel bed, did not care about the luxury of the big hotel. Anyway, it was arranged by the Austrian government, and he did not need to pay a penny.

This is the benefit brought by the country's strength. As the British Foreign Secretary, there are people wherever you go. You don't need to find a hotel yourself like the Japanese delegation.

For Maclean, the more expensive, the better. He can also reimburse the cost to the London government.This is an invisible welfare, otherwise how can we say that this era is the best era of British bureaucracy?

Isn't it good to be in the embassy, ​​why do you have to live in a luxury hotel?

These are all minor issues. The British Empire is not bad money, at least not bad for bureaucrats.It was just a business trip subsidy. After all, the British system was not perfect. This was a golden age for money.

Thinking about the negotiations during the day, Maclean was unable to fall asleep.France and Austria are not very enthusiastic about the alliance they proposed, and they even have some resistance.

This also proves from the side that the Franco-Austrian alliance is real. Only when the Franco-Austrian alliance has been formed will the Anglo-French alliance of three countries become tasteless.

This is very unfavorable for his next work. Without the cooperation of France and Austria, the alliance of the three countries could not be established at all.

If you can't join, how can you break up the Fau alliance?Maclean has now determined that the Franco-League alliance exists, and unlike others, he believes that the two countries may reach agreement on European issues.

This Vienna meeting can prove that France and Austria have reached an agreement on the Italian issue, and the dispute between the two parties is left to the Central European region.

However, the controversial Rhineland is still in the hands of the Kingdom of Prussia, and the two countries have not reached the point of direct confrontation.

If the two countries cooperate with each other, Austria annexes the German Federation and the French annex the Italian region.

The Rhineland region is not their territory, no matter who gives up this region, the political risks to bear are not great.

If compensation can be obtained from other regions, France and Austria are very likely to compromise on this issue.

The three small countries of Belgium, the Netherlands, and Switzerland are all likely to fall victim to the compromise of Fau. There is nothing to talk about in the face of interests.

This is not what the London government wants to see. The two countries have become very powerful and have threatened the security of Britain.If they were allowed to grow stronger, there would be no limit.

Provoked the war between France and Austria, and caused them both losses.The London government already has no less than 100 plans for this kind of plan. However, in practice, it does not know where to start.

France and Austria are now holding back each other, and the European continent as a whole can still maintain a balance.Once war broke out, the balance was broken.

If in the end there is no loss of both sides, the two sides are divided in a short period of time, Europe will be the only one.

Another war against France, or a war against Austria?With the exception of the whimsical party of mouth guns, no one else holds hope.

The Russian Empire and Prussia + Poland are completely in line. The power of hatred prevents them from uniting together. I am afraid that the remaining countries together will not have enough power.

By that time, Britain could only fight in person again. Now the anti-war sentiment in Britain is on the rise. Several wars in the past decade have made the British people very disgusted with war.

Maclean is not an idealist, and does not think that all European countries should follow their scripts.Whether it is Napoleon III or Franz, their main achievements are in politics.

It is more difficult to deal with such an opponent than Napoleon.If the operation is not good and the hatred of the two countries is filled, the two countries will not kill each other, but kill them directly. What should I do?

You need to know that the Franco-League alliance has not been disbanded. This alliance is not aimed at them, but to whom?

Joining this alliance and further dividing France and Austria is the best policy.

If the latter cannot be done, the big one will take a step back and the three countries will jointly dominate the world. Britain will only need to find a way to become the leader of the alliance.

It can be said that the British consider all issues comprehensively. The only trouble now is how to convince France and Austria to agree to an alliance.

Macleans was thinking that the original plan had failed.It is now possible to take out the interests of where to buy the two countries, and to protect the interests of Britain to the greatest extent.

It's impossible to cut one's own flesh. At most, it is to be generous to others and to sacrifice the interests of other countries to achieve their goals is what they are best at.

The night was already late, and Macleans had fallen asleep during the calculation.In his dream, he completed this diplomatic game, established Britain as the world hegemony, and became the greatest prime minister in British history.

...

It's not just Maclean who has a headache for the Three Nations League. The Palace of Versailles is brightly lit, and Napoleon III is also troubled by this problem.

Don't think that pro-British factions will not be anti-British.In the face of interests, the positions of politicians can change at any time.

Napoleon III, who had lived in Britain, was very aware of the terrible British, and even once suffered from Britishphobia.

Time will always dilute everything. The ten-year career of emperor has made Napoleon III's fear of the British gradually fade away.

France is far from being comparable to that of the past, and the gap between the strength of the British and the British is actually not large.But Napoleon III's fear of the British never faded.

Obviously the British are a naval power. Although the threat to France is great, it has not reached a point where it can be fatal.If you really put it together, you can still do it if you lose both sides.

On the contrary, Austria, which is also a powerful army, may pose a lethal threat to France. However, Napoleon III had full confidence in Austria and was not so afraid.

The idea deep inside is also an important factor in determining the direction of politics.

Just like the later generations of Russia, the comprehensive national strength has clearly fallen behind, but it is still the second strongest country in the world in everyone's consciousness.Instead ...

The problem is that Franz and Napoleon III are similar. He also fears the British, but does not regard the French as a deadly threat.

What about the same powerful army?In my heart, I don't admonish. Anyway, the geographical location determines that it is difficult for France and Austria to reach each other's core area.

The Albis Mountains are not suitable for military operations, which means that they cannot be beaten from the Italian region, let alone the other side.

Throughout the two world wars, the Germans attacked France from Belgium, knowing that the southern region is not suitable for military operations.

Bypassing Belgium, it means crossing Prussia at the same time before the two sides can fight.

Although there are no allusions to false doctrine in Europe, the Berlin government dare not borrow it.Of course, even if they were willing to borrow, everyone would not dare.

Unless the Belgian and Rhineland regions are occupied first, otherwise the army will be cut off just after passing, wouldn't it be a tragedy.

Because each other does not regard each other as a threat, the two countries have formed an alliance in the common interest. Both sides are confidently waiting for the completion of the strategic layout before slowly overpowering the other.

It is not enough to deal with the British. Neither the Austrian Navy nor the French Navy has suppressed the strength of the Royal Navy. The most optimistic estimate is that both defeats will result.

This is also the reason why the British-French relations have not been able to form further alliances since the era of Napoleon III.

Now it is no exception. Both France and Austria regard the British as their greatest enemy, and the British have the same attitude.It is naturally not easy to form an alliance with one's own enemy.

After taking a sip of freshly ground coffee, Napoleon III sighed.He did not want to turn his face with the British, but John Bull was preventing him from annexing the Italian region.

Deep down, Napoleon III has already made a decision. If the British are willing to acquiesce to the expansion of France, then everyone will form an alliance, otherwise, there is no need to talk about it.

If the alliance does not bring benefits to France, then they will not play with the British.
