Holy Roman Empire

War serves politics, and publicity is indispensable.After the Vienna government and the Russians reached an agreement, there were more news about the black history of the Ottoman Empire in Austrian domestic newspapers.

There is no need to falsify this time. The crimes committed during the period when the Ottoman Empire was in full force were exhausted.

The call for revenge is rising day by day, and various petition letters received by the Vienna government are expected to fill a room.

The power of hatred is somewhat beyond Franz's imagination. If it is not for the police in Vienna, it is estimated that the Ottoman embassy is gone.

Now the Vienna police also have to send people around to patrol around the clock to ensure the safety of the Ottoman embassy.The supplies of materials inside the embassy all need to be specially sent by Austria, and the staff of the embassy dare not go out.

If not waiting for the Russians, Franz can order war.

For Austria, this is only a local war. It does not require full mobilization at all and has little impact on the domestic economy.What should the government departments do, but the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is busy.

Moral commanding heights, you will occupy if you do not occupy the enemy, diplomatic activities are indispensable.Fortunately, this time the enemy is the Ottoman Empire, most Europeans are more inclined to Austria, and there is not much pressure on public opinion.

At the Palace of Vienna, the Foreign Minister Weisenberg dragged his tired body and reported back to Franz: "Your Majesty, this is a telegram from the Holy See.

The Holy See hopes that we will be able to wage a holy war against the Ottoman Empire in the name of God. Pope Pius IX is ready to issue a call to Christ World to organize another crusade."

In the words of later generations, this is to rub the heat.In recent years, the decline of the Holy See has been so severe that even the Papal State has been deprived of by the French. Now the Holy See can only shrink at the Vatican headquarters.

If it were not for Catholics from all over the country, it is estimated that the people in the Holy See might still be hungry.Napoleon III was not polite to them, and the wealth accumulated by the Holy See was basically confiscated.

The phoenix on the ground is not as good as the chicken, and now the reputation of the Holy See has plummeted.With the exception of the remaining headquarters, many parishes outside are not paying attention to the Pope ’s orders.

In this context, if you do n’t want to reshape your prestige, it is estimated that it wo n’t take long for the local parishes to even symbolically receive aid.

It's not so easy to live a good life and then back to live a hard life.It was at this time that when I heard that Austria was going to work on the Ottoman Empire, the Holy See naturally came to the door.

If the Holy See cooperated so a hundred or two hundred years ago, Franz would definitely be willing to accept it.The Ottoman Empire has not fallen and is a public enemy of Europe. Naturally, there is no reason for the Austrian family to contribute.

The situation is very different now. The Ottoman Empire has been in decline. Austria does not need so many helpers. If there are many people participating, how will the final loot be divided?

Fatty Franz of the Ottoman Empire had long been eyeing it, and took it out to share with the Russians. That is, the Russian Empire has declined and it can be cheaper. They have not been able to absorb the Ottoman Empire.

Including Austria, there is no ability to digest the Ottoman Empire, and Franz is ready to move all the local population.

The excuse is naturally "environmental protection". In order to protect the local vegetation and avoid desertification of the land, all indigenous people are moved away.

Part of it was sent to Africa for construction, and the rest was found in an island in Nanyang for centralized resettlement, or sent to the Americas for resettlement. It will be decided at a specific time.

Franz shook his head: "Tell them that this time is just a secular war, there is no need to rise to religious heights. We should be tolerant toward pagans."

"Jihad" is very cruel. Religious war is always a life and death, leaving no room for it.It was not easy to bring down the influence of the Holy See. How can it be possible for them to return to the altar again now?

...

The smoky smell permeated the Near East, and the Sudanese government, aware of the threat, was not idle.In order to win this war, the Sudanese government is also working hard on diplomatic relations.

Unable to say St. Petersburg and Vienna, the Sudanese government can only retreat and devote its goals to London, Paris and Berlin.

The enemy of the enemy is a friend, and there is nothing wrong with this sentence here.The three countries of Britain, France and France do not want the Ottoman Empire to end. Although Ottoman's strength is a bit weak, their existence itself has pinned Austria and Russia.

But the plan did not change quickly, and the Ottoman delegation in Berlin hit a nail, and William I did not meet them at all.

You should know that in the last Russian-Russian war, the two countries were allies fighting side by side. I did not expect to part ways so quickly.

The Sudanese government also expects Prussia and Poland to send troops to contain the Russians and share some of their pressure.

It is a pity that the Prussians had a bigger appetite than they thought, and wanted to use this war to invade Poland.No, it should not be regarded as embezzlement. To be precise, it was to put William I on the Polish throne.

The annexation of Poland will not be completed overnight. Even if the European countries do not object, the Polish people will not agree.

The two countries are different. There is a precedent for this kind of thing.It turned out to be the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, but now it can also become the Polish-Prussian Federation, which is much easier for people to accept.

European countries may oppose the monarchy of the two countries, but they are definitely not as fierce as Prussia ’s annexation of Poland, so as not to organize interference with the coalition forces.A private exchange of interests is very likely to achieve the goal.

The goal was not achieved in Berlin, and Warsaw did not need to go at all.Without Prussia as the main force, the Poles simply did not contain the Russians.

In Paris, not only representatives of the Ottoman Empire are active, but the Austrian Minister in Paris is not idle, both sides are in public relations.

From a military perspective, to rescue the Ottoman Empire, the French must be indispensable.If the Parisian government looks on indifferently, Sudan will have little effect even if it convinces the remaining countries to intervene together.

Napoleon III threw the question to his son again: "Ouren, how do you think we should choose?"

Crown Prince Eugen replied with a tight face: "This choice is very difficult. Strategically, the existence of the Ottoman Empire is our natural ally.

History has proved that the existence of the Ottoman Empire can contain a large part of the energy of the Habsburg dynasty and prevent them from fighting for Europe.

It's just this time that Russia and Austria have joined forces. We want to intervene, and the price we need to pay is too high. If we fail to do so, war may break out.

Judging from the current situation, we are not suitable for a war with Austria, and we must avoid wars with great powers for at least five years.

Whether to save the Ottoman Empire depends mainly on the strength of the Ottoman Empire.If they are really useless, even saving them is useless.

If they withstood the first wave of offensive, then we will pull the European countries together to mediate, without much cost, and the Vienna government will stop."

Napoleon III patted his son's shoulder and nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, Ou Ren. Your progress is very fast, it seems that it won't take long for you to be alone."

After taking a few steps forward, he added: "It is indeed not the right time to interfere. Austria must first pull out the nails behind it if it wants to compete for Europe.

Both the Russian Empire and the Ottoman Empire are their obstacles. Franz chose to form an alliance with Russia, which is equivalent to reducing an enemy behind him.

Their only serious trouble was the Ottoman Empire. When the nail was pulled out, the Eastern Mediterranean was completely in the hands of the Austrians, and the power extended to the Indian Ocean.

But don't worry too much about it. The existence of the Ottoman Empire was the basis for the last joint of Austria and the Russians.Without the common enemy of the Ottoman Empire, the 'St. Petersburg-Vienna' alliance would have no value in existence.

Perhaps in the near future, the Russians and Austria will treat each other as a life and death enemy and fight for the European hegemony.

Of course, the prerequisite is that the tsarist government can win the second Russian-Russian war.Franz's layout ability is very powerful. The Kingdom of Prussia, which originally blocked them in the German Federation, has now become the best player to contain the Russians.

If one day the Russian Empire really collapses, remember to pull them.With this nail, neither Prussia nor Austria dare to participate fully in the struggle for continental hegemony.

This time, let the British have a headache!Inform the London government that we are consistent with them on this issue, and if they want to send troops to intervene, how much they will pay us."

Seeing the problem is more thorough if you are about to die.Now that Napoleon III has realized that the most suitable ally for France is the Russian Empire, it is a pity that the time has come too late.

In the era of Nicholas I, the Russian Empire was in full swing, and the entire European continent was trembling under this behemoth.

In order to revive France and get rid of the shackles, Napoleon III and European governments made a similar decision to suppress the Russian Empire.

With the joint efforts of everyone, the decaying Russian Empire was still overwhelmed and slowly fell.The reform of Alexander II restored some of the power of the Russian Empire, but it was definitely not as good as it was during its peak.

At this time it was too late to unite the Russian Empire.For no reason, Napoleon III could not use money to fill the bottomless hole of the Tsarist government. Even if he was personally willing, the French people would not agree.

"The enemy is in Paris" is not a joke. The fighting power of the Parisian people is the best in the world.Once let them discover that the government is betraying the country, a revolution should not be too easy.

Now they have not exerted their full strength. When they used their full strength in the original space-time, changing the government was more diligent than changing clothes.

Ordinary people do not necessarily change three sets of clothes in a week, but French people can change three governments in a week, which also includes weekends.

In order to strengthen the fighting skills of the Ottoman Empire, Napoleon III gave the Sudanese government support. In addition to the material assistance in the weapons and ammunition, he also wrote a large empty check.

That means: You must persevere and wait until we are ready to send troops.Now just to confuse the enemy, so that they can be caught off guard.

...

In London, the attitude of Prime Minister Gerston to the two countries of France and France was very unpleasant. Not only did he become a tortoise, but he also lost the right to make decisions. Isn't this putting the British Empire on fire?

In the name of them, they are the first to look forward to, but who actually listens to them?Napoleon III put it nicely, France sent as many troops as Britain had sent.

Just think about it and see how unreliable it is.This war was mainly carried out on land, and even the landing operation could go to the Black Sea.

The Royal Navy can never go to the Black Sea to help the Ottoman Empire?If they dare to go in, don't think of it.

The Black Sea Strait is so narrow, it is not difficult to block the gate.Once blocked inside, it is not far from the annihilation of the whole army.

It is impossible to block the sea, and to fight on land, it is estimated that the British Army ’s strength is not enough for the first wave.

Of course, they can also threaten Austria and Russia by blocking overseas trade.If it is so dry, the French will clap their hands and say goodbye, and then act as a crowd of melons to watch the excitement.

Don't look at the Austrian navy is only half of them, it seems that the Royal Navy can easily be rolled, in fact, war is not a number game.

If there is a fight, the Austrian navy can still rely on the scattered colonies in a broken battle.

Materials are blocked, and people are not European public enemies. How can you ensure that European countries do not do business with Austria?If nothing else, at least the French will not give up the opportunity to make war money.

In theory, as long as Austria ’s colonial strongholds scattered abroad are removed, these problems will be solved.The problem is that these colonies are not easy to fight. Except for the weak Alaska and Austrian South America, there are heavy soldiers everywhere.

With the size of the British Army, even sending them out will not help.It is not possible for the Ottoman Empire, Britain to do its utmost to expand the army and die in Austria at all costs?

Prime Minister Gerston said he was not interested in this kind of harm to others.
