Holy Roman Empire

The sudden conflict between Russia and Poland destroyed all the plans of Prime Minister Dongbrowsky.If it is not handled properly, a full-scale war will break out between Russia and Poland.

Against this background, without the support of the Kingdom of Prussia, Poland did not even have the power of World War I.It can be said that the Tsarist government has helped the Prussians and forced the Polish government to make compromises.

Is it so simple?The Tsar is not stupid. If they do not have enough interests, how can they help their enemies?

The Polish government is still in a state of coercion, and Franz, far away in Vienna, has figured out the ins and outs of the matter.It is nothing more than a secret agreement between the two countries, Russia and Russia, to share the Kingdom of Poland.

There are no enemies in front of the interests, the tsarist government wants to regain lost ground, the Prussians want to strengthen their strength, and both sides are eyeing the Poles.

A few years ago, the two sides beat you to death, the scars of the war have not disappeared, and the two sides have united again.

In the eyes of ordinary people, this may be very incredible, but the reality is so nonsense.

For the Kingdom of Prussia, swallowing Poland alone is tempting, but the size of the Kingdom of Poland is too large, there are 70% to 80% of the Kingdom of Prussia.

In this context, choosing to share with people to reduce operational difficulty and share international pressure is the best choice.

The cooperation between the Berlin government and the Russians was also forced.The three countries bordering Poland are Prussia and Austria. Austria is too strong. The Prussians dare not do things with tigers and prefer to cooperate with the enemy.

Even Franz can boldly speculate that the Prussians are ready to sell two.Maybe this time, someone has been sent to contact the Austrian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.Promises the Russians' territories to Austria and seizes the opportunity to provoke the conflict between Russia and Austria.

Putting down the information in his hands, Franz ignored it.Without wishing for anything, he was not interested in the Polish region. Franz naturally did not care about the conspiracy between Russia and Russia.

No matter how they calculate, as long as Austria does not move, all conspiracies and tricks will be pale in front of absolute strength.

The more prepared the two countries are, the worse the next war will be.If the governments of the two countries are smart people, the best thing to do at this time is to pull people into the water, and it is best to pull the European-looking countries together.

Otherwise, neither Russia nor Pu will be the winner in the next war.Looking at the lively British, French and Austrian countries, as long as they intervene halfway, their efforts can be wasted.

Unfortunately, everyone is not a fool, and the fact that Anglo-French Olympics can form an alliance shows many problems.Both Russia and Russia are not masters of diplomacy, and wanting to break up the alliance of the three countries and bring people to their own side is very difficult to operate.

Austria does not want to expand on the European continent, the French have no time to fight, the British crap sticks always like to stab them in the back, want them to play in person, or forget it!

The three countries are not so easy to pull, the end fee alone is not affordable for both Russia and Russia. The empty-gloved white wolf Anglo-French three countries are smoother than them.

Theoretically, the world hegemony between the three countries of Britain, France, Austria and Austria should be full of contradictions. Unfortunately, these contradictions have not yet reached their outbreak.

For example, the French and Austria are very interested in the sea hegemony of the British, but unfortunately they are constrained by their strength. Neither country has challenged the strength of the British sea hegemony.

Another example: the dispute between Europe and France in the hegemony of France and Austria, on the bright side, it should be your life and death.In reality, Austria ’s lack of interest in European hegemony is basically too lazy to fight; the French are too busy dealing with internal issues and temporarily ignore European hegemony.

In the overseas colonial movement, all three countries have vested interests.If you stab each other, the cost of maintaining the colonies of all countries will rise a lot. If the three countries compromise, everyone can save a lot of expenses.

As long as the three countries of Britain, France and Austria do not stab each other, even if other countries want to fish in muddy water, they must consider whether they can bear the consequences of exposure.

It doesn't need to look at the fact that the conflicts between the British, French and Austrian colonies still happen frequently, which is much more restrained than before the alliance of the three countries.At least there were no more than a hundred colonial expeditions, and the whole army was completely lost.

Now the negotiations on the division of colonial power between the three countries of Britain, France and Austria have begun. According to the current progress, there will be a result in about one or two years. By then, the conflicts in the overseas colonial activities of the three countries will be further reduced.

It wasn't Franz or Napoleon III who pushed all this, but John Bull as a crap stick.

Everyone created colonies to make money, but not to make money and shout.The British had the most colonies, and there were also the most conflicts overseas with other countries.

In the late 19th century, the maintenance costs of the major colonial empires were rising sharply.If we continue to fight like this, no one needs to make money.

For his own benefit, John Bull must also establish a set of rules to restrict the colonial activities of various countries overseas, so that everyone will not stab each other every day and cannot make money happily.

Of course, this is limited to the land that is recognized by everyone.In the battle for the unowned colony, no matter how ruthless it is, no one will be merciless.

This international pattern is completely different from the original time and space.Now the main international conflicts in Europe are the conflicts between Russia and Russia.

In contrast, the Anglo-Austrian contradiction, the Anglo-French contradiction, and the French-Austrian contradiction have all become secondary contradictions.The fact that Britain, France and Austria can form an alliance proves that the common interests between the three countries outweigh the contradictions.

John Bull wanted continental balance, not continental Europe.

War means uncertainty. Provoking war without certainty, no one can guarantee the final situation.

What if the situation is out of control and a Big Mac is being hit on the go?Napoleon's lesson is not far away, the man almost succeeded.

France and Austria now contain each other, and Russia and Russia are hostile to each other, and the European continent happens to be in a delicate balance.

No matter what happens in any country, there may be a chain reaction.In the last Near East War, the British were told with facts that it was costly to easily intervene in the European War.

From the perspective of the British, it is best to keep the situation on the European continent so balanced.Contradictions have occurred in various countries, and it is enough for them to be arbitrators.

...

On May 18, 1874, the tsarist government issued a diplomatic note to the Kingdom of Poland, instructing the Polish government to surrender "the murderer in the border conflict" within 24 hours and cede the Kiev region to compensate the Russian Empire.

Such conditions are obviously not acceptable to the Polish government.Prime Minister Dongbrovsky was furious, but helpless.

The standing army of the Russian Empire is as high as 876,000, while the Kingdom of Poland is doing its best, and the standing army is 136,000. There is no way to make up for the difference in strength between the two sides.

Warsaw, an office with only two tables, four chairs, and a filing cabinet is the office of Prime Minister Dongbrowsky.

The Polish government is poor, and as the head of government, Prime Minister Dongbrovsky set an example, compressing office expenses as much as possible.

In this respect, Prime Minister Dongbrowsky did impeccably.It is a pity that a country cannot be governed by frugality.

Prime Minister Eastbrowsky: "What did the great powers say, would they interfere in the actions of the Russians?"

The Polish government could not accept the conditions of the Russians, the war had entered a countdown, and the Prime Minister of East Brovsky had to hope for international interference.

Foreign Minister Va Vlublevsky: "The British Minister has promised to mediate this conflict, but the French Minister has not given a clear answer, and may be waiting for the resolution of the Paris government.

The Prussians promised to support us. They promised that if war broke out, they would send troops to support us as soon as possible.

Austria has not expressed its position, but because of the relationship between the Russian-Austrian alliance, they at most remain neutral and cannot stand on our side.

The remaining European countries are watching the situation, what choices they will make, and they need to wait until the situation is clear before they can determine."

After hearing this result, Prime Minister Dongbrowsky did not feel half relieved.

The reaction of European countries made him very chilly. As a guard who guards the Russian Empire for European countries, the Kingdom of Poland is also doing its best. None of the three great powers of Britain, France and Austria actually expressed their support for them.

Seemingly receiving support from the Kingdom of Prussia, in fact, all of this support comes at a price.

The Prime Minister of East Brovsky was certain that if William I could not serve as King of Poland, the Prussians would certainly draw in this war.

Now that the Tsarist government is not ready for war, there is no problem in beating the Kingdom of Poland. If you want to destroy the Kingdom of Poland, the Tsarist Government must first consider whether the money in your pocket is enough.

The Kingdom of Prussia has a motive for water-drawing. A half-dead Kingdom of Poland, it is convenient for them to annex and can minimize the rebound.

East Brovsky made the decision quite decisively: "Immediate national mobilization immediately, we have to be ready to fight against the Russians."

The great powers couldn't count on it for a while, the French didn't take care of them, Austria was an ally of the Russian Empire, and the British knew it was unreliable.

Mediation is easier said than done. In fact, it all depends on whether the Russians will buy it.More than half of the 24-hour ultimatum of the Tsarist government has passed. It is estimated that the Russians have already killed the diplomatic note of the British before the Tsarist government.

The only hope of the Kingdom of Poland is the Kingdom of Prussia, and the Prime Minister of East Brovsky is ready for a temporary compromise.In the face of life and death, many things can be compromised.

In any case, the size of the Kingdom of Poland is still so large, even if the Prussians have an appetite, they will not be able to swallow it in a moment.

Before that, they had to block the first wave of Russian soldiers.It would be miserable if the Kingdom of Poland had already been defeated without waiting for the reinforcements of Prussia.

Can't you always count on Prussia to help recover the lost ground and drive the Russians back to their hometowns?

Don't look at the last war they won, Prussia still can't keep up with the Russians in terms of national strength.Without the financial support of the Lord, Prussia was not an opponent of the Russian Empire.

The Tsarist government has no money, and the Berlin government is actually not much better.If one day hears that the Berlin government is bankrupt, do n’t be surprised that they have always been on the verge of bankruptcy.

It is not so much that the Kingdom of Prussia defeated the Russians. It is better to say that the gold master behind him killed the tsarist government with money.

All European countries have contributed money together, and Britain and France have generously lent money, so such good things cannot happen every day.The borrowed money is also to be repaid, and for so many years both Pubo and China have been working hard to pay off their debts.

After losing weight, the Russian Empire can no longer scare Europe, and everyone ’s funding will naturally be gone.

Against this background, Prime Minister Dongbrovsky did not think that Prussia had the strength to slap the Russians.If you have this strength, the Berlin government has already annexed Poland, and you do n’t have to wait until now.

The Polish government has never neglected the work of "preparing for war", but according to previous estimates, this war will be more than ten years later, so the Polish government is not fully prepared.

The conflict between Russia and Poland came too suddenly, the Polish government had just received the news, and the ultimatum of the tsarist government came, leaving no time for them to prepare.

If you want to complete the combat preparation work within 24 hours, it is simply a fantasy.Unless it is a small country like Monaco at the village chief level, national mobilization can be completed in a few hours.

Poland began to mobilize, and the Russians were not idle.The Tsarist government, which had already been prepared, had already concentrated 20 infantry divisions and 5 cavalry divisions on the border between Russia and Poland, and 20 infantry divisions on the border between Russia and Russia.

Obviously, the Tsarist government did not trust the Prussians, so they stationed heavy soldiers on the border.

Different from the past, the tsarist government had hoarded a batch of food in advance, and the problem of eating Russian soldiers had been solved.The logistical pressure of the Russians has been greatly reduced.

The 20 infantry divisions may not be able to survive the Kingdom of Prussia, but the defensive boundary is more than enough.Even if the Berlin government wants to play tricks, it must first consider its own strength.

No way, more soldiers can be wayward.Casually, the tsarist government mobilized more than half a million troops, which has exceeded the total of the standing army of Pubo and Pokol.

The tragedy is that the Polish government did not notice it in advance, and even now the Prime Minister of East Brovsky does not know how many to face the enemy.

In this respect, the Polish government is really unqualified.He made the most of the low-level performances of the eyes and masters, and completely ignored the intelligence work.
