Holy Roman Empire

Chapter 602

Not fighting, does not mean not participating in the competition, even if you are not interested, you can go to join the fun.

With Austria ’s current strength, no one can ignore it, and it is indispensable to have that share.

Even if you do n’t fight for the colony, you can get a return.Concessions are made here, and losses can be made up from elsewhere.

The exchange of interests is the essence of international diplomacy.Just want to take advantage, don't want to pay the price, how is it possible?

The benefits have all been taken by your family. How can other countries mix them?Can't afford it, can't you avoid it, just don't play with you.

This is not an era of dominance. No country can cover the sky with one hand.If you don't want to be alone, it is better to follow the rules of the game.

Once the rules of the game are broken, the biggest loss must be the rule maker.Because the rules themselves are set by the makers to protect their own interests, no one can guarantee that they will dominate the reshuffle.

Unfortunately, the three countries of Britain, France, Austria, and France are all veteran empire. They personally participated in and led the game rule making. The current game rules themselves represent the interests of Austria.

Having determined the general policy, the specific negotiation work does not require Franz to worry about.What can be obtained, it will only be known after negotiations.

Franz cannot judge the strategic goals of each country. The so-called prior targeting is completely nonsense.

Just like the diplomacy of the British, people who do not know think that the British have formulated a series of plans, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs carried out diplomatic work in accordance with the plan made in advance.

However, as far as Franz knows, British diplomacy has no so-called long-term diplomatic plan at all, and there is only one core of diplomatic work-national interests.

The specific plans are all drawn up temporarily based on the actual situation.Making detailed plans in advance does not apply to diplomacy.

International diplomacy is changing. Today is the enemy. Maybe tomorrow it will become a friend. Even the enemy and the friend cannot be determined. How can we ensure that other countries will follow your plan?

Any successful diplomatic power will revolve around its international interests and flexibly adjust its own foreign policy plan instead of mechanically following the plan.

Franz is very accurate in this regard. Austria ’s most important foreign policy was the Russian-Austrian alliance 20 years ago, but now it has become the alliance of the three countries.

...

Coordinating international relations and easing conflicts among the major colonial empires also involve the distribution of the remaining colonies. Obviously, this cannot be accomplished overnight, and this negotiation is destined to be protracted.

Jerusalem, the European conference on mediation of the Tubo conflict has begun.Before the meeting, Ottomans and Persia had exchanged fire on the border many times.

It's just that they have mutual scruples and are keeping their restraints as much as possible. The conflict has been suppressed by the two countries.

In general, the two sides have a win and lose, and Persia has suffered a little.This result disappointed Franz. He was originally prepared to support Persia to add chaos to the British. Now he has to dismiss this idea with regret.

Even the Ottoman army, which was badly injured, could not achieve an overwhelming advantage, and such pieces had no investment value.

It is better to support Afghanistan. Although this piece can only be used as a soldier, they are also soldiers who cross the river.Although the body is small, the combat effectiveness is still reliable.

With the support of Russia and Austria, Afghanistan has also trained a new army in recent years.It is a pity that Afghanistan is too poor, limited by financial resources, and has only trained three infantry divisions that are dissatisfied.

This is already the result of the Afghan government ’s poor soldiers joining the Austrian fund.Otherwise, they cannot afford a modern infantry division.

In contrast, the situation in Persia is much better. Even if it has fallen, the family is not comparable to Afghanistan.

If the government is strong enough, it is not difficult to train more than 200,000 or 200,000 modern armies.The presence of so many troops is enough to dispel the British ambitions.

In general, feudal agricultural countries are not suitable for the era of hot weapons, and their meager financial revenue determines their upper limit of strength.

The Jerusalem conference was in trouble from the beginning, and everyone knew that there was no result here.

Whether it is Ottoman or Persian, there are powers behind them, as long as the boss behind the scene is still pulling the skin, they can only hold on.

It is a pity that the three countries of Britain, France, Austria and Austria are still bluffing, and it is naturally impossible to produce results on the negotiating table.

The Persian demanded compensation from the Ottoman Empire, and the Ottomans demanded compensation from the Persian pension. The atmosphere was very tense.

...

At the same time that the Jerusalem meeting was deadlocked, the British also fulfilled their promises to the Ottoman Empire, and the first three million pounds of war loans were already in place.

For Prime Minister Midhart, this is the first good news he has received since he took charge of the Ottoman Empire.

With this money, you can suppress domestic rebellion and restore domestic order.Then carry out social reforms to make the Ottoman Empire rise again, and revenge on Austria and Russia.

Okay, this seems a bit too much.However, idealists can still understand that their ideas are always beyond their capabilities.

Al-Shabaab official Mahathir whispered a report: "Prime Minister, His Majesty has frequently summoned conservative and religious leaders in recent days.

All conversations were conducted in secret, but judging from the expressions of these people leaving, they should be very happy.

After coming down, these people were abnormally low-key, and even daily interpersonal communication decreased.

At the same time, their secret secrets also increased, including many military generals who had contact with them.According to preliminary judgment, their conspiracy was against us."

The Al-Shabaab came to power through a coup, and Abdul Hamid II also helped them.

However, the Sudan is not at ease.Before he succeeded, he supported the Ottoman Al-Shabaab, or he would not be able to succeed him, but after the succession, the situation changed.

Abdul Hamid II was unwilling to be a puppet sultan. He, who was close to Al-Shabaab, was naturally driven to the conservatives by his power.

Now that the Ottoman Al-Shabaab is in power, even Abdul Hamid II has been unable to cope with the conservatives.

However, with the resolution of the refugee crisis, the situation changed, conservatives put all responsibilities to the government, and the prestige of the Ottoman Al-Shabaab fell sharply.

This allowed Abdul Hamid II to see opportunities and engage in small moves, often making Al Shabaab government unable to step down.

This naturally aroused the dissatisfaction of the Al-Shabaab, and the relationship between the two sides has become very rigid.As the leader of the Al-Shabaab, Prime Minister Midhart will naturally not sit still.

The Ottoman Empire is different from the European countries. Every power transfer is accompanied by bloody killing.The situation now is that taking a step back is not the sea and the sky, but the abyss. It is not surprising that Midhart sent people to monitor the Sudan.

If it were not for avoiding domestic turmoil, perhaps Midhart had sent people to kill Abdul Hamid II, and had abolished a Sudan, and he did not mind coming again.

Midhart said fiercely: "Inform the cabinet and ministers to come here tomorrow afternoon to discuss the constitutional reform of the monarchy."

The fact that Abdul Hamid II cannot be abolished does not mean that Midhart cannot fight back.Constitutional reform of the monarchy is the best choice.

At present, most European countries have adopted a constitutional monarchy.However, there are many types of constitutional monarchy. Some countries have more restrictions on the rights of the monarch.

Of course, in general, the monarchs have real power in this era, and no one has fallen into a rubber stamp.Monarch power is still at its peak and is the most powerful person in a country.

This does not prevent Midhart from using the constitutional monarchy reform to abide Abdul Hamid II, because the constitutional monarchy itself has no unified standards.

For example: the constitutional monarchy in Austria, the real practical effect is to clearly stipulate the emperor's annuity, the emperor can not use the treasury money for enjoyment.

In other respects, there are almost no restrictions, and even reinforcement.The so-called constitutional monarchy law was drafted by Franz himself, and the emperor still has the right to modify it at any time.

Another example: the British constitutional monarchy, the king ’s power is more restricted, but on the whole the king is still the supreme leader and holds the power of the country.

The most prominent is the Russian constitutional monarchy, which has no specific legal provisions. God knows how to limit the rights of the tsar.

Many people in later generations believed that Tsarist Russia was the monarchy, rather than the main basis of the constitutional monarchy, that is, the tsarist government had almost no restrictions on the rights of the tsar.

These are all minor issues, as long as they are under the banner of constitutional monarchy.Although Midhart was an idealist, he was not so radical. He did not want to abolish Sudan arrogantly, and went directly to the era of the Republic.

Playing republicanism in a country with strong religious beliefs, such as the Ottoman Empire, is very nonsense in itself. It is all religious leaders who fail to get elected to power.

Therefore, under the banner of constitutional reform of the monarchy, it was enough to turn Abdul Hamid II into a rubber stamp, and it would be even more intimate.
