Holy Roman Empire

Chapter 584 Now-Future

With the order of Franz ’s life, the front-line Austrian army took action, and regardless of whether the Ottoman Empire agreed, the repatriation work began.

At this time, the Ottomans have no human rights, and they do not need so much explanation, just force the eviction.No one felt that something was wrong, including reporters in the army who did not see it.

No one knows whether it will be written randomly after going back.Anyway, in order to sell newspapers, there will be various kinds of news, and the reporters' morality will be stronger than that of later generations.

As long as it is guaranteed that most mainstream media will not speak for the Ottomans, this is enough. The street tabloid has always started with a pen and a piece of paper, and the content is all edited.

It is not difficult to prepare to guide public opinion in advance, as long as you have money; you can do it if you want to control public opinion.

Powers have not been scolded this year. The higher the frequency of the front page of news, the more powerful a country can be reflected. No one in a small country is willing to report.

After the protest failed, the Sudanese government chose to accept reality silently.Don't look at European countries supporting them now, everyone is still an enemy when they open the history book.

It is a strategic need to keep the Ottoman Empire, it does not mean that everyone regards them as friends.Even France, which has a traditional friendship with the Ottoman Empire, cannot succeed for them.

Inside the Downing Street Prime Minister's mansion, Gerston frowned and asked, "Are the greedy Russians still holding on?"

The London government also hated the Tsarist government's reluctance to sign the Armistice Treaty.Everyone is very busy and there is no time to revolve around a problem.

Foreign Minister McLean: "The tsarist government has not let go of the illusion of destroying the Ottoman Empire. They should be worried that the next Russian-Russian war will erupt and the Ottoman Empire will stab them again.

However, the Vienna government had compromised, and the Russians alone were too weak to destroy the Ottoman Empire.

The tsarist government was poor, and their persistence lasted at most a few days, causing some trouble for the Ottoman Empire.Austria only promised to provide military supplies during the year, and the Russians would compromise at the end of the year.

On the contrary, the Austrians' actions in the Middle East deserve our vigilance. The Vienna government, under the banner of protecting the Holy Land, announced that it would fallow the local land for two decades and then expelled the local Ottomans.

The same thing was done by Austrians more than ten years ago.Deportation of the Ottomans and immigration from the country will soon establish rule.

Although the cost is a little higher, the cost of rule in the later period is low, and the effect is very good at present.If there are no accidents, it will not take long for the Austrians to gain a foothold in the Middle East.

Now we can't catch up with the eastern Mediterranean coast, we can only watch the Austrians continue to expand, the occupation of Jerusalem is just the beginning, in the near future the Austrians will gradually eat up the Ottoman Empire.

If Austria's ambitions are realized, it will reproduce half the territory of the Roman Empire.We must be vigilant enough, otherwise this giant thing will appear, it will be a big trouble."

Prime Minister Gerston's face was sad, and the international situation was increasingly beyond their control. The French had just posed, and Austria was restless.

This time, the combined pressure from European countries made the Austrians retreat, so what about the next time?

European countries cannot stand together forever. Once the positions of various countries are divided, I am afraid that Austria cannot be overwhelmed.

"You mean to support the Ottoman Empire and give them a certain strength to protect themselves and dispel Austrian ambitions?"

Foreign Minister Maclean nodded: "Yes, in the present situation, if the Ottoman Empire does not increase its strength, sooner or later it will be divided between Austria and the Russians.

Facing the joint exclusion of France and Austria, our influence in the Mediterranean has been getting worse every day in these years. Now is the time to change.

As long as we hold the Ottoman Empire in our hands, we have more leeway.But this requires teaming up with the French, and it is difficult for us to lift the Ottomans alone."

The Ottoman Empire has been rotten. The limited reforms of the Sudanese government have only dismantled the eastern wall to make up for the western wall.

However, the Ottoman Empire is a multi-ethnic country. Once it falls, it will fall apart, and it will not work if it wants to be rebuilt.

Chancellor of the Exchequer Laluk Royd: "There is no problem in supporting the Ottoman Empire, the key is how to ensure that our investment can be rewarded.

Even if the French share the risk, this is a high-risk investment.Once the Ottoman Empire was over, our investment was sloppy.

Now that the Ottoman government's finances have gone bankrupt, it is not a small amount to pay to rescue them."

Is the British Empire rich?Of course: yes!At this time they were still the most arrogant government in the world, and even France and Austria could not compare.

However, if they are rich, they can't be used for water rafting. The Ottoman Empire is a mess. La Luke Royd is not optimistic that the Sudanese government can be reborn.

McLean waved his hand: "We no longer have a better choice. There is only one Ottoman left in the Near East that has the potential to become a power. Can't we help the Greeks and check and balance Austria?"

Supporting the Greeks is a joke.A country with a population of less than one million cannot be transformed into a powerful country no matter how invested it is.

Prime Minister Gerston: "It is okay to support the Ottoman Empire, but we must grasp this degree. Once we find that something is impossible, we must stop in time.

But what should the French do?Now that the Spanish government is pro-French, the French frontline has stabilized. When they have completed their internal struggles, I am afraid they will have to fight for European hegemony.

In the style of the Vienna government, they may not meet the French, and it is likely that a new round of mergers and acquisitions will erupt."

This is the worst result. If a large country is allowed to annex a small country, Britain's transcendent status will be difficult to guarantee.

Maclean shook his head: "Your Excellency, you think too much. Neither France nor Austria will expand in the short term.

With the rise of nationalism, the risks of expansion are also increasing.The French are an example. They annexed the Italian region and have not digested it for so many years.

Austria shouted the slogan of unifying the German region, but it was very conservative in actual action.If it were n’t for their infiltration into the German Federation, I even felt that they had given up.

Even without giving up, the enthusiasm of the Vienna government to unify the German region is not high.

Although the political system of the New Holy Roman Empire is more rigorous than that of the previous Holy Roman Empire, the rights of states are still not small.

The German region has become accustomed to the politics of the country, and if it is forced to break this model, it is easy to have an accident.

The Austrians have realized this. The New Holy Roman Empire has taken away at least some of its core rights and even tampered with the voting rules of the Imperial Parliament.

With its volume advantage, Austria has steadily suppressed several states.But if all the remaining German states entered the Imperial Parliament, then the situation would change.

Based on a minimum of one vote per state, Austria ’s votes in the Imperial Parliament cannot constitute an absolute majority.Then there will be the same situation as the German Federal Empire, where a group of small states join forces in parliament to limit the power of the central government.

If you change the rules of the game, it will affect the imperial power.For an emperor, the position below the buttocks is more important than occupying a little more territory."

These judgments are not wrong, as far as the current international situation is concerned.After the last few years, the power gap between countries has widened, and the situation is different.

Not to mention, the German state has been declining steadily in the past 100 years, which is a real problem.

Some state monarchs were heirs, the crown fell into the hands of relatives, and the state merger was achieved through marriage.In this respect, the Habsburg family is the main representative, and this is how the Austrian Empire came about.

In addition to one vote per state, the New Holy Roman Empire Parliament has a rule of generating one vote for every three million people, which is actually a means for Franz to bury it in advance.

The population of Austria is growing very fast. After the colonization was localized, it also followed the central government. Even if it joined a bunch of states, it was not difficult for the central government to get more than half of the votes.

But diplomacy should focus on the future, and more on the present.If you don't deal with the issues before you, what future will you talk about?
