Holy Roman Empire
Chapter 573
The plan didn't change quickly. Looking at the quarrel, just the French government that was nowhere to be seen, Franz had to admit that he had made a mistake.
The table was overturned, but without the participation of the French protagonist, the situation did not develop as Franz expected.
The Paris government seems to have staged a farce, but in fact it happens to be the option that is in the best interest of France.
What France needs now is to be low-key and reduce its sense of presence as much as possible.If this time jumps out to compete for the Rhineland region, the troubled Britain and Austria will immediately give up their prejudices and suppress them together.
France is strong and happens to be adjacent to the Rhineland region. Geopolitics has determined that the question cannot get the French.The Paris government did not express its position, but was wooed by all parties.
Vienna Palace, looking at the information in his hand, Franz shook his head helplessly.
It is still unclear whether Austria made a profit or lost this time overturning the table, but the Kingdom of Prussia must have made a profit.
If, according to the British plan, suddenly broke out at an international conference, only the German Federal Empire would be the buyer.
The strong buying business is naturally not as competitive as the price of the two buyers.Estimated to sell the Rhineland region, the financial crisis of the Berlin government has passed.
Foreign Minister Weisenberg: "Your Majesty, the Berlin government has released news that it intends to sell the Rhineland region, and now Belgium and the German Federal Empire have expressed interest.
However, Belgium lacks the support of the great powers. Unless the support of the French can be obtained, the transaction will be difficult to complete even if the Prussians want to sell them.
The German Federal Empire also had problems. Some people in the Imperial Parliament have raised the question of the attribution of the Rhineland region. Many state representatives have made it clear that the Rhineland region must join the state.
If it was not George I who announced the adjournment in time, perhaps the parliament had already made a decision, cutting off the possibility of the central government being directly administered."
(George I of the German Federal Empire: George V of Hanover, Hanover, the original time and space, has disappeared, there is no such monarch)
It can be seen that Weissenberg still regrets that the German Federal Parliament is slower. If a resolution has been made, Austria's goal will be achieved.
As for supporting Belgium ’s access to the Rhineland region, it is a cover from beginning to end.The reason is very simple. Belgium and France are too close together.
If there is no French support, they may still have the opportunity to compete; if they get the support of the French, they will not even have the chance to compete.
The French are not charitable, and since they have supported Belgium, they must be rewarded.
If the Kingdom of Prussia sold the Rhineland region to Belgium, and turned to Belgium and gave the above resources to the French, wouldn't it be a fuss?
In terms of industrial development, the value of the resources of the Rhineland region to France is still above the Italian region.
Napoleon III won the Italian region. In addition to increasing territory, population, and market, there was almost no gain in resources. Instead, it made the resource crisis in France more serious.
Before the occupation of the Italian region, the Paris government did not need to worry about the energy of the Italian region.It's different now. These problems have become the French's own problems.
Every year, France needs to import hundreds of thousands of tons of coal from the outside world, and this number will continue to rise with industrial development.
In the short term, the impact on the French economy may not be obvious. If over the last decade or eight years, the French heavy industry will be left behind.
The original time and space France became a usury empire, that is, the lack of local resources and the need to import from the outside world increased the cost of industrial production.
The production cost is high and the sales price has to be increased accordingly.This has caused many French industrial and commercial products to lose market competitiveness internationally, forcing capitalists to restructure.
For the purpose of containing the French, countries that acquire the Rhineland region cannot pro-law, which is a matter of principle.
There is no doubt that the German Federal Empire has done a better job in this regard, and has been wandering diplomatically between Britain and Austria, which is more reliable than Belgium, which is swinging between Britain and France.
Prime Minister Felix: "Let's look at Belgium's choice first! If the Belgians have ambitions and want to build a strong country, and they can say no to the French, it is not impossible to give them the Rhineland region.
We also need a nail to contain France. It is impossible without certain strength.Prussia was the best choice, but they developed too fast.
If it is not that we need the German unified strategy to cover, in fact let Hanover obtain the Rhineland region, the integration of the German Federation is also a good choice."
If you want to take it first, Hanover ’s integration of the German Confederation does not actually affect Austria ’s unified German region.
Because when Franz feels the time is right, when he can do it, Austria already has the strength of the world hegemony, and he is not afraid of being beaten by groups.
From the standpoint of interests alone, the German Federal Empire is already a chicken rib. Only after taking the Rhineland region can it be barely considered meat.
There are so many states in the German region, and if all are put in, the Imperial Parliament will be lively.It is estimated that most of the energy of the future central government will be used to reconcile internal relations.
However, the German region has been split for hundreds of years. The people have long been accustomed to the politics of the country. Coupled with religious factors, changing the rules of the game will inevitably be punished.
This must find someone to bear the blame, otherwise it will rule in crisis.None of the original German empire in time, space and time could completely solve this problem, which was enough to explain the problem.
Prime Minister Felix wanted George I to carry this black pot. When he killed many small states, Austria jumped out to pick peaches. The hatred value could be much less.
Franz nodded: "This problem is not in a hurry. It is easy to make a wedding dress for others if you are too anxious.
The national policy has been formulated and we will proceed step by step.Boldly changing the plan is taboo.This play must continue, at least for us to fight for ten years.
Even if it is time to wear help, we are also in a good position.Even if Britain and France want to make trouble, they must have that strength."
For another ten years, this is Franz ’s minimum requirement.If possible, it's better to go for two or three decades.
By that time, the French were left behind, and the two countries have successfully upgraded to become a feud.Even if the British wanted to be a demon, they would stop because they couldn't find a thug.
The original time and space London government did not suppress Americans with all its strength, but chose to kill the German Empire. One of the most important reasons was that it could not find a thug.
Under the butterfly effect of Franz, the advancement of this space-time industrial revolution is much faster.Not only has electricity started to spread in advance, but even the development of internal combustion engines has been much faster, and diesel engines have been born.
Although it is still in the laboratory stage, there is no way to promote it, which is also a major progress in the power system.When the power system developed to a certain extent, it was the turn of the aircraft.
The development of the Air Force was the time when Austria replaced British hegemony.This is not Franz ’s counsel, but the Royal Navy is too powerful, and it is simply not realistic to want to overtake directly by the Navy.
"With your own shortness, the strength of the blogger." Isn't this a boring life?The original German Empire of Space-Time proved with facts that the British would not leave competitors with an opportunity to catch up with the Royal Navy.
Austria ’s geographical location is better than that of the German Empire, but the essence of multi-line operations has not changed, and it does not have the geographical advantages of the United States that dominate a continent.
The birth of the Air Force is different. Franz is not advocating to compete with the British in emerging fields.Along the deployment of the Mediterranean Sea, the transportation lines of the African continent and the homeland have stabilized, and Austria has also stabilized.
The native population of Austria has exceeded 75 million, which is almost the same as that of the Russian Empire. It is more than twice that of the British mainland. There are more than 10 million in the African colonies. The longer the delay, the more obvious the population advantage.
As a veteran empire, it is a vested interest in itself. Austria now lacks resources and markets, and has no desire to urgently challenge the world order.
The task of challenging the world order should be left to the new empire.Unless there are soft persimmons to squeeze, the challenge to the world order is to buy and sell with high risks and low returns. The result of more than 90% is that the spoils are not enough to make up for the war losses.
From the perspective of God, the old empire is actually not a real enemy, but the new empire is the threat.
The most typical is the three countries of Britain, France and Austria. Everyone is the biggest competitor of each other, and there are still many contradictions. However, instead of the outbreak of war, the three countries have allied themselves first.
The biggest problem is that there is insufficient motivation to start wars. Everyone is a vested interest. There are large colonies under their hands, and their own food is eating and supporting. Who still wants to grab others?
It is important to know that war also has costs. Since the first Near East War, almost all wars that broke out directly between European countries are at a loss.
Even if the Kingdom of Prussia, which has obtained a large territory in return, wants to make a profit, it is also a matter of decades later, and it is still a loss of money to buy and sell in a short period of time.
From an investment perspective, the outbreak of war among large countries is a high-risk, low-return investment and is naturally unpopular.

London
Countries condemned the Russian Empire's invasion of Poland and met the Tsarist government who was not afraid of boiling water, and naturally had no effect.
The Russians would not withdraw their troops, and no one in Europe would send troops to interfere.This does not affect the continuation of the meeting, and the issue of the illegality of William I as king of Poland has become a new focus.
In simple terms, as long as the Kingdom of Prussia gave up the Rhineland, William I was the legal king of Poland, and even the merger of Prussia and Poland could be legal.
On the contrary, it goes without saying.The imperialist iron fist will tell you what legitimacy is.
Axioms and justice are all gone at the London conference.Unconsciously, everyone's morality was pulled down a bit.
