Holy Roman Empire

Franz had no choice but to overturn the table.Despite Austria ’s great influence in the German Federal Empire, the central government dominated by Hanover is more pro-British.

From the standpoint of the German Federal Government, getting close to the British and using the power of the British to ensure their independent status is obviously more in the interest of the ruling class.

In contrast, the Vienna government shouted the slogan of unifying Germany every day, which made it difficult for them to get close.

This kind of worry is limited to the big states. For most of the small states, there is no such trouble, and there is no defense against Austria. Anyway, they are all little brothers.

Affected by nationalism, the vast majority of small states in the German region are more dumped in returning to the Shinra Empire and realizing their dream of a great power.

From the strength point of view, once the unified European hegemony in the German region was born, and this European hegemony is also likely to become the world hegemony.

Overlords are not only famous, but there are hidden interests behind them.German nationalism can grow and develop. In addition to Austria ’s secret support, many local capitalists and nobles have also made great efforts.

Apart from patriotism, more is for the benefit.Hegemony can bring capitalists a larger market, and it can also bring glory and benefits to nobles.

Although there are many supporters in Austria, most of these people are outside the scope of guerrilla rights. Perhaps they are distributed in small states and cannot influence the decision of the central government.

These people support the reunification of the German region, in a sense, to reshuffle the cards and use Austrian hands to reorganize rights and interests.

In Franz's opinion, most of these people are speculators, so let them wave their flags and shout, and it is no problem to cooperate with Austria to rule the place, but they cannot be expected to sell their lives.

Otherwise, the rule of the German Federal Government has long been overturned.Franz, the fighting force of nationalism, has seen it. If these people dare to take the lead, the German Federal Government can be replaced in a flash.

Now that the table is overturned, Franz, in addition to warning the German Federal Government not to play with fire, is still beating these speculators and telling them with practical actions that leaving the German Federal Republic of Austria is a small country with no say.

Lest after the annexation of the Rhineland region, these people drifted away, and were fooled by the British to play in Germany.

These regions are different from Switzerland, Belgium, and the Netherlands, which had previously separated from the Shinra Empire.

Switzerland is a mountainous area, and it belongs to a place where there is no need, but it also has strong folk customs. Franz is naturally not interested in this kind of place.

Belgium ’s geographic location is important. As a buffer country in France and Germany, whoever hits their minds will fall to the other side.

Needless to say, the Netherlands has always been outside of the German region, and its independence time is early, and it has formed its own cultural inheritance system.

All three countries have independent capital, but the scattered German Federal Empire does not.The poor strategic position sandwiched by Faop's three countries is destined to make them better off in the future.

Once the European balance was broken, the tragedy of the German Federal Empire was doomed.Before that, Franz didn't mind them getting away for a few days.

Without experiencing social beatings, how do you know the importance of a strong motherland?

...

Berlin, William I was angry since he knew that the British and Austrian countries would give the Rhineland region to the German Federal Empire.

It is too bullying, even if the Rhineland is an enclave, and the French are on the side, it may be lost at any time. That is also the territory of the Kingdom of Prussia.

Imagine that year, after the end of the anti-French war, at the Vienna conference, Austria forced them to the Rhineland region and let them act as guards against France.

The sad scene of his father Frederick-William III has come to William I's mind.Unexpectedly, he caught up again in his lifetime.

On the surface, even if an extra territory is an enclave, it is not humiliating.

In fact, the Vienna Conference was also a conference for the division of stolen goods after the victory of the Anti-French War. Taking away the Rhineland region, Prussia lost the opportunity to swallow Saxony.

Judging from the situation at that time, the Rhineland region was a terrible place, and it was still threatened by the French at any time, and it was not comparable to the fertile soil at the door.

Finally, when the industrial age came, the terrible land became a treasure land, and the result changed again.How can this be accepted by William I?

The promise was made to the French in front, it was just a blank cheque. William I knew that Britain and Austria would not let the French annex the Rhineland, and they could fully regret it afterwards.

Now is the time, the two countries have done more extreme than he thought, and are ready to take the Rhineland directly from them.

William I endured his anger: "Britain and Austria want to take the Rhineland from us, what do you think we should do now?"

Prime Minister Mao Qi snapped the table: "This is impossible. The Rhineland region is our legal territory. After confirmation by the European countries at the Vienna Conference, why should the two countries take away from me?

In any case, we will not be able to make way. If the conditions of such humiliation are agreed, how can we explain to the people?As long as we don't agree, will it be possible for the two countries to send troops to help the German Federation fail?"

Chancellor of the Exchequer Gorman: "It's not that simple. The British and Austrian countries will not send troops to seize the Rhineland region, but we can still prevent us from establishing the United Kingdom.

According to news from London, Britain and Austria have reached an agreement. Once we refused this transaction, we refused to recognize the election of the Polish throne.

If we forcibly acquire Poland, the British and Austrian countries will mobilize the European countries to embargo on us. The London government is ready to collect debts in advance. I am afraid our financial situation ... "

send troops?There is no need to send troops at all, just the material embargo, and the Kingdom of Prussia will not be able to bear it, let alone the British have to collect debts in advance?

There is no doubt that the economic crisis will break out in the Kingdom of Prussia at most one month, which is still a kind of devastating economic crisis.

On the contrary, Mao Qishu retorted: "If the British collect debts in advance, we will declare bankruptcy. We will deny these debts, and it will not hurt anyone if we lose both sides.

The material embargo is easy to say, and it is impossible to implement it in detail. In the European continent, Britain and Austria cannot cover the sky. They do not do business and other countries do it.

Moreover, this kind of government forcibly intervenes in free trade, and their domestic capitalists will not agree first."

The Chancellor of the Exchequer Gorman smiled bitterly and explained: "The capitalists did not agree to leave it alone, but the embargo on goods did indeed work.

There is no need for all countries to participate. Most of our import and export trade is with Britain and Austria, accounting for about 66.4% of the total import and export trade.

Once blocked by Britain and Austria, more than half of the ports in the world will be closed to us.The routes to Africa, India, and Southeast Asia will be completely interrupted, including our only colony, which will also sever ties with the mainland.

Go to America ... "

This is a real problem. The total of the British and Austrian countries and the colonies together accounted for 58% of the world's total economy, 68% of the world's total industrial volume, and 75% of the world's total import and export trade.

The colonies of the two countries add up to more than one-third of the land area, and half of the world's ports are monopolized by the two countries, and overseas trade cannot be avoided at all.
