Holy Roman Empire

Franz shook his head: "The benefits in front of us are not important. Now we need a new strategy, a great strategy that can be trusted by European countries.

The original German unification strategy can no longer deceive people.As the Kingdom of Prussia has grown, we have been unable to swallow them, and now the slogans are screaming again, and European countries will not believe it.

In the case where the German region cannot be unified, we will definitely have a new strategic plan.Let another smoke pop out to attract the attention of all countries so that they will not discover our true purpose."

True and false, true and false, the Vienna government has been tinkering with many strategies over the years, but only the "German unified strategy" can convince everyone.

These strategies are true and fully in the interests of Austria.However, due to various practical reasons and the small success rate, the Vienna government has not invested much resources.

For example, the European hegemony plan was formulated by the Vienna government to seize European hegemony. Because the success rate was too low, the short-lived lie in the archive room.

Another example: the naval hegemony strategy, which is the product of the Anglo-French Austrian arms race period, according to plan Austria will build a hundred armored ships within ten years to seize the British maritime dominance.

The plan is a good one, and when it comes to implementation, it encounters difficulties.In addition to bragging in the newspaper for a while, and providing the Royal Navy with an excuse to expand its army, in fact, it changed during the operation.

The armored ships are also divided into three, six, nine, etc., the smallest is only a few hundred tons, and the largest is more than 10,000 tons. The battleships of different grades have different powers in naval battles.

In addition to a wave of presence, the British soon discovered that they were fooled.If we simply count the numbers, it has not been ten years before the Austrian Navy built more than one hundred warships.

It's just some small boats, most of which are some offshore patrol boats.The number of battleships has increased by three or five. Although the ten-year period has not yet arrived, no one thinks that the Vienna government will continue to explode warships in the future.

This is all superficial. If the British were not deliberately fooled, the plan was worn at the beginning.It is not easy for the Royal Navy to expand its military. If it is necessary to persuade the Parliament to allocate funds, what can it do without an excuse?

In this respect, France and Austria are allies of the Royal Navy.As long as the two countries say that they want to build ships, the British will immediately follow up.

With the Royal Navy ’s active cooperation, it is not difficult to fool the gang of laymen in Parliament.As long as the appropriation is agreed, even if it is worn later, the money has become a warship.

In the original space-time British-German arms race, some people criticized that the navies of the two countries colluded with each other and joined hands to defraud military spending.

The term "collusion" is used too much, but when it comes to deceiving military spending, it is really suspected.

It is no exception now. Every time the navy expands British and French, they use the other party as a raft. As long as the reasons are sufficient, the government can pay for it.

Before the alliance of the three countries, even if some people saw the problem, everyone could only follow the stubbornly, and no one would dare to take risks to stop building the navy.

International politics is very complicated, and it is very difficult to understand the purpose of competitors.It doesn't matter, regardless of the purpose of the competitors, as long as they want to do what they want to do is not right.

Since the banner of the German reunification strategy, all European countries have worked hard to prevent Austria from reunifying the German region.The British and French stared at the German Commonwealth, fearing that Austria would suddenly strike them.

The rise of the Kingdom of Prussia, in addition to the British and French want to use their hands to fight against the Russians; at the same time also by arming Prussia, blocking Austria from unifying the German region.

Everyone is besieging Austria on the European continent, and Franz will naturally not find excitement.Attracting the eyes of Britain and France to Europe, Austria's expansion in Africa was able to proceed smoothly.

Now the Austrian and African countries have grown stronger, but the foundation is not solid.Once European countries have discovered the purpose of the Vienna government, who can guarantee that John Bull will not encourage the independence of Austria and Africa?

When the French came up with ideas, the British were responsible for fooling around, and then smashing a huge sum of money into it. Who knows how much trouble it will cause.

On the bright side, Franz has been releasing Austria ’s strategic focus to unify the German region.Everyone believes this statement, and the Austrians themselves believe it.

Except for high-level government, no one knows that actions on the European continent are in the guise of.Even if the British and French know that there is a problem, they must first protect Europe, otherwise the idiom "fake it into reality" will appear.

Prime Minister Felix: "Your Majesty, if we have ambitions for Poland, it is estimated that no one will believe it.

Both Russia and Russia regard Poland as something in their pockets, and we can't go to swallow Poland without wisdom. If we divide Poland, it is estimated that it will be completed in a wave of operations, and it will not achieve the purpose of attracting the attention of all countries..

Either use the sacred land as a guise, and if Britain and France do not believe it, then let them think that we want to annex Asia Minor, an Ottoman Empire is always enough."

The reality is such a comedy, not to deal with Poland, not because Poland is too strong, but because Poland is too weak to fall down.

Poland fell, and the final result was nothing more than a carve-out.When the strategic goal is directly completed, the strategy will naturally end.

Unless it dies next to Pu Russia, this will be the end. Except for being able to build one more site, the other gains will be almost zero.

Not to mention, it is also a headache for the increased Polish people.The Vienna government has not done this for many years to increase imperial instability.

The Ottoman Empire is different. It is big enough to be swallowed by Austria, and there are few competitors.

The Russian empire, which was badly hurt, was not qualified to compete with Austria for the Ottoman Empire, and at most it took a slice of it.

Only by grasping the rhythm and not killing the Ottoman Empire all at once, it is better to win each other and have a slight upper hand. European countries are still happy to see Austria and the Ottoman Empire die.

If Britain and France want to pull back, most of them will support the Ottoman Empire.Franz had no worries in this regard, and it was no joke that the mud was unable to hold the wall.

The Son of Heaven has not yet been born, the internal contradictions in the Ottoman Empire are too heavy, and it is almost impossible to rebirth.

This consumption is good for everyone. Austria can hide from the sky, Britain and France have achieved the purpose of containing Austria, the Ottoman Empire can also cheat aid, and both Russia and Russia can rest assured of PK.

In the process of confronting consumption, it can also eat away the Middle East in a quiet manner. Not only will the energy of the next century not have to worry, but even half of the world's hegemony has been obtained.

One hit in three years and one hit in ten years, this play can be played for a long time.The Habsburg dynasty and the Ottoman Empire are world feuds, and there is no need to worry about attacking them. Revenge is the best excuse.

After looking at the map, Franz pointed to Poland: "This is not enough. For this scene to be more realistic, a few supporting roles need to be added.

Isn't the Kingdom of Prussia obsessed with Poland, then they will be all right and find a chance to sell for a good price.

If the Prussians can defeat the Russian Empire, then here is ours, give them a little more strength, and firm up the fighting spirit of the Junkers."

Franz drew a circle on the map, a large area of ​​the Russians was circled in, and the Black Sea directly became the Austrian Inland Sea.The Russians' efforts over the past two hundred years were completely lost.

After this wave, it is really very difficult for the reduced version of Russia to rise.Even if they become stronger again, they must face the Kingdom of Prussia first.

As for Austria, how could Franz violently annex Russian territory?Does n’t the czar government that failed the war need anyone to pull it?

Such a difficult operation must be paid.At that time, the Vienna government paid a sum of money to buy these territories.

Americans have done very well in this respect. The French have been forced to buy and sell, but apparently there is nothing to say, they are bought by legal means.

Looking at the circle painted by Franz, everyone looked at each other as if they saw nothing.Such an ally would almost catch up with John Bull.

But by then, the Russian-Austrian alliance should also expire.The two sides are no longer allies, so it seems logical to do so again.

Although the cake is beautiful, everyone still doesn't like Prussia very much.There may be a chance to defeat the Russians, and it will be difficult to defeat the Russians.

Without dying of the Tsarist government, I am afraid they will not accept blackmail from Austria. It is not easy to realize this third strategy.

Foreign Minister Weissenberg: "Your Majesty, the land of the Kingdom of Prussia is too fragmented, and the defense pressure to face is too great. If they cannot concentrate, I am afraid that it will be difficult to defeat the Russians.

After the annexation of Poland, Prussia has become very powerful, and we cannot continue to let them grow bigger.

I suggest letting the Prussians abandon the Rhineland region. The Berlin government is now languishing poorly, but the German Federal Empire is very rich. It is better to let them buy the Rhineland region."

This proposal is very constructive. The Rhineland region is rich in coal and iron resources, and the local industry is also developing very well.If this enclave is cut off, the heavy industry in the Kingdom of Prussia will be cut directly, which will greatly weaken their development potential.

As long as it is done properly, Franz does not worry that the Berlin government will refuse.Potential is only potential. Only through the immediate crisis will there be a future.

Resolving the financial crisis and concentrating all military forces are essential factors for them to win the next war.

Although the Rhineland region is good, but the neighbor next door is French, and it suddenly becomes bad.If war broke out, this enclave would not be able to hold it.

Britain and France are very wary of Austria ’s expansion on the European continent, but will never worry about the expansion of the German Federation.Even if the Rhineland region is added, the German Federal Empire is only a medium country, and the threshold for the powers is low.

With Austria's influence in the German Federation, it is not difficult to promote this transaction.Even if the imperial parliament fails, it can be manipulated by one of the states.In the German Confederation, Austria still lacks a younger brother.

In the shortest time to clear his mind, Franz nodded: "This plan is very good, without the Rhineland region, the strategy of the Kingdom of Prussia will be completely moved east.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs perfected the specific plan. We are not convenient to intervene in person. It is best to use the British hands to implement it.

In order to split the German region, the British were struggling.As long as they are convinced, increasing the strength of the German Commonwealth will increase the difficulty of unifying the German region. I believe that the London government will do everything for us.

The French should be more peaceful for the time being, but they can't relax their vigilance, but if they are allowed to take advantage of it, then we will make wedding dresses for others."

In the past, by the hand of the British, from two points of Germany to three points of Germany, the rise of the Kingdom of Prussia was curbed, and now Franz does not mind coming again.
