Holy Roman Empire

Chapter 603 Speculators

One wave was unsettled and another wave started again.

The Tubo conflict has not yet been resolved, and something has happened in East Asia.The Japanese government, which has just undergone preliminary social reforms, has exposed its fangs to the outside world.

In May 1875, Japanese warships such as "Yunyang" invaded Busan, North Korea, to demonstrate by force. The decadent and incompetent Korean dynasty did not immediately organize a counterattack.

Unfortunately, the boss next door is also decaying and is busy fighting inside, and has no time to take care of this little thing, which further stimulated the ambition of the Japanese government.

In order to test out the neighbor's bottom line, the Japanese army invaded the area of ​​Jianghua Island in September. This time, they could not hide and the North Korean army was forced to resist.

After paying the cost of two casualties, the Japanese army won the battle.Under the threat of force, the North Korean government quickly admitted.

(Remarks: North Korean army killed about 35 people)

The specific passage was not stated in the telegram, and Franz was too lazy to investigate.This kind of battle of children playing with each family still refreshed his three views.

It should be known that the Kingdom of Korea is also a country with a population of over 10 million and a standing army of more than 200,000 to 200,000 people. After losing a platoon of troops, it admitted.

This is to tell everyone that there is a fat sheep in East Asia, and even a silly kicker will not come. Come and divide its meat.

You must know that ambitions are always indulged. The Japanese government is only trying to test the outside world. It is not the Showa government that wants to be the long-term player in the mid-20th century.

The time for Austria to enter the Far East is too short, and there is almost no interest in East Asia. This news adds a joke to the Vienna government.

But it is different for other European powers, at least the Russian Empire next door has been stimulated.If it is not that the conflict between Russia and Russia is too deep, the tsarist government may turn around and look around.

The original time and space Teddy Bear turned, it was stimulated.The west side is hard to bite. Although the east side is a little farther, it is all fat!

Bears eat meat, only dogs will chew bones.This multiple-choice question is easy to do, and all instinct is enough.

Compared with the original time and space, the international situation is now unrecognizable, and the European continent has generally remained stable.

Anglo-French Olympic triads, Russia and Russia are the second-strongest and are opposed to each other, and then there are Spain, the Nordic Federation and the German Federation, three medium-power countries, this pattern can be said to be the British dream of.

Any family that wants to break the balance must bear many pressures.The balance of the strength of all parties will naturally stabilize the situation.

Once the contradictions between the major European colonial empires are alleviated, the pressure on other independent countries in the world will increase, especially in the North Korean dynasty, which is regarded as a "fat sheep".

"What do you think of the East Asian change, will this affect the world situation?"

There is no way, almost every colonial empire has a foothold in East Asia.Originally, Japan was also a fat sheep that everyone was watching. Suddenly, everyone suddenly discovered that this sheep actually evolved into a wolf, and jumped out to grab meat with everyone.

There are so many benefits. If you take more, I will take less. One more point will have a great impact on everyone.

Foreign Minister Weisenberg: "Your Majesty, Japan is not a cause for concern. It is enough for them to make a small fuss. Once the trouble is over, the British and French will let them know what the rules are.

Our interests are mainly concentrated in the Nanyang region. The Japanese can only dangle in front of their homes now, and there is no place for them in the Nanyang region.

Moreover, the unequal treaties signed by various countries with them are also a shackle that restricts their development.If they don't get rid of the shackles, they can't use them to develop.

It may take decades to deal with these problems alone.The Japanese have a long way to go in order to be truly strong.

The Meiji Restoration slogan shouted loudly. Apart from training an army with second- and third-class combat effectiveness, I did not see any results.

The Japanese's success this time was full of chance. If the Far East Empire next door was busy fighting inside, there wouldn't be a chance for them to perform."

"Contempt" This is a common view of European society on Japan. "White supremacy" is still popular this year, and people of color are naturally discriminated against.

Even white people are divided into three, six, nine, etc., regional discrimination, ethnic discrimination, national discrimination ...

For example: Western Europe looks down on Central Europe, Central Europe looks down on Eastern Europe, and Europe looks down on overseas.

Why can the Grand Unification Theory spread in Germany?In fact, the main reason is that the German people can only be regarded as second-class people, and everyone needs a strong country.

The specific performance of the United States in the 19th century is that immigrants in the German region are also discriminated against. They are at the bottom of the society like Irish, Italian and Eastern European immigrants.

The original situation of time and space continued to improve until the reunification of Germany.

The situation is changing faster now, and with the resurgence of Austria, the international status of the German nation has risen.

This is why Austria can maintain its influence in the German region.

It doesn't matter if you don't go abroad. Capitalists engaged in international trade do not get a nationality of the new Shinra Empire, and they are not at ease in their hearts.

Taking the nationality of the empire and enjoying the benefits brought by the great powers, these people's position naturally fell to Austria.

Against this background, despite many Austrian practices, which seemed to the German nationalists to be very conservative and could not satisfy their appetite, it was still recognized as orthodox.

It is not surprising that the Japanese are despised. The Meiji Restoration is just beginning. The so-called "development" is also relatively speaking.

For a poor and white Japan, the development of any industry is a great achievement, but from the standpoint of Austria, these things are not worth mentioning at all.

The total amount of industry in Japan adds up to an industrial park in Upper Austria.If the output value is calculated, it may not be as good as a large group.

The "elite navy" trained by the Japanese government may not be as good as the Austrian squadron stationed in the colony. A main ship can destroy them.

The so-called modern army has only tens of thousands of people. Weaponry is not good. With natural contempt, perhaps in the eyes of many people, the Japanese elite troops are not as good as the Austrian reserve.

In the context of full rolling, it is impossible to want the Vienna government to attach importance to Japan.The original space-time Japan was recognized by the world, and it was only after the Russo-Japanese War that it stepped on the shoulders of the Russians to gain the upper hand.

Franz is not prepared to reverse everyone's ideas, it is too difficult to put his own thoughts in the minds of others.

Moreover, the rise of Japan is still early, and even if it rises, it will not threaten Austria.The power of the Austrian colony in Nanyang cannot be challenged by the Japanese.

However, Franz admired the ability of the current Japanese government to develop a semi-colonial and semi-feudal country under such difficult circumstances.

For example, now, the Japanese government has chosen a good time.Use European countries to get hands-on when they are attracted by the Tubo conflict and create established facts.

If the British, French and Austrian nations reach an agreement on the colonial division in the next year or two, and the international situation tends to relax, the Japanese government will die terribly if it takes care of it.

To put it bluntly, the Japanese have not yet challenged the strength of the international order. They can only play a sideline and act before the European powers have established the international order against East Asia.

The "Yunyang Incident" opened the door of North Korea, but the Japanese government did not enjoy its benefits alone. The major powers can all benefit from it, and naturally there is little resistance.

It seems that there is not much gain, but in fact the political significance is not small.The Japanese government used this opportunity to obtain an opportunity for external expansion.

European countries acquiesced in this action by the Japanese government, which also means that the international community can accept the Japanese colonization of Korea, laying the foundation for the next colonial expansion.

However, there are advantages and disadvantages. "Speculation" and "gambling" are too addictive, and once they get involved, it is difficult to quit.

If the gambling wins, of course you can get a generous return. However, there is always a time when luck is exhausted. Once the gambling loses, all the losses will be lost.

This is the sadness of a small country. If you do n’t gamble, you will never have a chance to rise; but once you get to the gambling table, it will be difficult to get down.

Victory confuses people. Once caught in it, there is only success in the eyes, and it is difficult to continue to look at the problem rationally.

Franz: "Let's observe first! If the Russians look east, the opportunity for the Japanese will come. Compared to the Far East Empire, the British still prefer to support this little thing."

Will the Russians look east, no one can answer this question.Everything depends on the outcome of the next Russian-Russian war.

In the European continent, Fawau is now sharing hegemony. If the Tsarist government wins, then it will become inevitable to withdraw from the European hegemony, and the patronage will become one of the options.

If the tsarist government loses disastrously, then everything will rest.The defeated Russian Empire is bound to be dismembered.Self-protection is a problem, not to mention continuing to expand?

From Austria ’s standpoint, it is natural to hope that the two countries will tie, or that one side will win by a marginal advantage.It would be better to eliminate two potential competitors at once.
