Holy Roman Empire

London is still full of fog.Once again set foot in this dreamy city, William I was in a different mood.

The relationship between the British imperial family is still good. Both parties are relatives of their children. The son of William I married the daughter of Queen Victoria.

The visit of William I was naturally received by the British royal family with high standards.However, the British enthusiasm did not make William I feel a trace of warmth.

No way, among the people they received, there was no figure of a senior British government official.There is no doubt that the London government does not value him very much.

This is a commonly used method in diplomacy. With this method, political positions and pressure are expressed, but it is still very effective.

Unlike the first Russian-Russian war, the London government contributed money to block the Baltic Sea in order to pull off the shelf and offend the Russians, laying a foundation for Prussia to win the war.

The now declining Russian Empire can no longer threaten the interests of Britain.Instead of two new threats from Faw, it is no longer necessary to continue to suppress Russia.

Perhaps in the eyes of the London government, the Russian-Austrian alliance has broken.Keeping the Russian Empire at a certain level of strength can contain some of Austria ’s power behind it, preventing them from investing fully in the hegemony in the European continent and helping the European continent maintain a balance.

The Commonwealth of Popper wants to gain the support of the British in the war. There is no international situation that can be used.

The welcome banquet was held normally. The banquet was attended by a group of nobles. The senior government officials still did not appear.

A cabinet meeting is under way in the Downing Street Prime Minister's Mansion.It is not that the London government is inefficient, mainly because William I came too fast.

In the case where the Queen is irrelevant, the power of the British Cabinet is very large, and the workload is naturally very large.

In the new round of the Russo-Prussian War, the London government really attaches great importance, but after all, it has not yet fought.

War is not a child's play. It is normal to drag on for months or a year or two according to normal conditions.

Prime Minister Benjamin: "William I has arrived and the Russian Crown Prince will arrive next month. We need to make a choice now.

For the sake of Britain, I hope you will be able to analyze rationally and grab the greatest benefit for the empire."

The victory or defeat of this Russian-Russian war is no longer so critical for the London government.No matter who wins or loses, the pattern in which the three empires dominate the world will not change.

Foreign Minister Edward: "Australia should be most concerned about this issue now. The victory of the Russo-Prussian War will determine who their potential competitors will be in the future.

The general confrontation between Russia and Russia is actually a good choice.Now that the Austrians are letting the Russian-Russian war break out, it seems that the Vienna government is not reconciled to the status quo.

In recent years, Austria's strength has grown very fast.Especially economically, the performance is particularly prominent.

In addition to its military strength, Austria has fully surpassed France.If the French cannot digest the Italian region for a long time, the strength of France and Austria will soon lose balance."

Now France and Austria are the enemies of Britain and have nothing to do with other powerful forces.France and Austria have the power to threaten the British and are the enemies of the London government.

The alliance between the three countries of Britain, France and Austria is for the common good.There is a paper covenant that can restrain everyone ’s actions, reduce colonial conflicts, and save a lot of military expenses.

To form alliances and alliances, there must be suppression and restriction.Limiting the strength of France and Austria has become one of the core strategies of the London government.

Colonial Secretary Robert: "The French have digested the Italian region, and the European continent will also lose its balance, but it has become France over Austria.

This is actually a pseudo-proposition. No matter whether France overwhelms Austria or Austria surpasses France, the strength gap between them is not a day apart.

We have enough time to make strategic adjustments.The question now is that the upcoming Russian-Russian war will make it more in our interest to win."

Robert is optimistic about the French, all the confidence given by Napoleon.

At that time, the French army swept the European continent leaving too much shadow for everyone. Even if the French army did not keep up with the rhythm in the new round of military reform, everyone still believed that the French army was the world's first.

The performance of the French in the first Near East War further strengthened the British opinion.Weapons and equipment are changing slowly, and military training stays decades ago. These problems have been inadvertently ignored by everyone.

The international community generally believes that the French army has the highest combat effectiveness in the world under comparable military strength.

Based on the experience gained from the Anti-French War, the best way to defeat the French is to spend more money and invest more troops.

Everyone thinks that the basis of Faw's strength is also based on this.The French army is more elite, there are more Austrians, and the economic strength is stronger.

Foreign Minister Edward: "The Austrians intend to indulge in the outbreak of Pu Russia, apparently seeking further territorial expansion.

No matter who wins or loses in this war, the Vienna government is the biggest winner.With regard to geopolitical relations, no one can hinder the expansion of Austria after the Russian and Russian sides have divided the victory.

In the past few years, the French government has been fighting internally. In the past two years, Napoleon IV gradually took power, and the Paris government stabilized.

Because of the interests, the capitalists who previously supported Napoleon III ’s unification of the Italian region are now standing in opposition to the Paris government and secretly funding Italian independent organizations.

In the context of internal instability, the French have lost the ability to check and balance Austria, which is the main reason why the Vienna government dares to indulge in the outbreak of the Pu-Russian war.

In order to balance Europe, we must create an enemy for the Austrians and contain them from behind. Both Russia and Russia are candidates.

From the perspective of development potential, the threat of the Russians is significantly greater.Once this war is won, the incomparable Russian Empire will return again.

Perhaps they were seriously injured after the war and were unable to conquer the European continent, but in Central Asia and the Far East, they will still threaten our interests."

In the era of Napoleon III, the Italian problem was not serious.Relying on super-powerful political skills to suppress a wave of waves and attract a wave of waves, the overall situation is stable.

Napoleon IV's turn was different. Because the Paris government was busy fighting inside, it ignored the domestic economic construction.

In particular, wrong economic policies have been formulated to combine the two markets into one.After opening the market, capitalists who supported the merger with France found themselves fooled.

Seemingly fair competition, it turned into a French economic plunder of Italy.

It is not that the capitalists in the Italian region did not work hard. It is because the gap between the industrial strengths of the two sides is too great.

If it is just these problems, it is not unbearable. It is only the small and medium capitalists who are unlucky.Strong capitalists can replace new equipment and regain their competitiveness.

However, the Italian region and France have a common problem-lack of resources.

In order to compete for resources, the capitalists had to show their magical powers.There is no doubt that the Parisian government is sitting in the ass, and when making policies, it is more inclined to local capitalists.

After two visits, grievances accumulated.Unwilling to be lonely, capitalists slowly manipulated public opinion, provoking public dissatisfaction with the French, trying to force the Paris government to make concessions.

The result is self-evident, even if the French government wants to give in, the capitalists in Paris will not agree.

In the last economic crisis, this contradiction was directly detonated.Some capitalists began to lean towards independence and promote nationalism in Italy.

It is not just capitalists who are dissatisfied with the French. In fact, the local nobility is also dissatisfied.One radish and one pit, they get too little in the French government's power distribution.

Despite the contradictions, there has not been a large-scale independence movement in Italy.The reason is simple. Despite various discomforts, the living standard of ordinary people has improved.

It doesn't matter if the local economy doesn't work, and labor can be exported.It's all a country, so going out to work is not a problem.

Compared with Italy, France is well paid.This is also a win-win situation, ordinary Italians get more income, and French capitalists get cheap labor.

When someone is proud, someone is frustrated.Because of labor mobility, the labor cost in Italy has doubled in just ten years.This is to let Italian capitalists grind their teeth.

Chancellor of the Exchequer Belfort: "What can the Commonwealth of Popo give us? What can the Russians give us?

IMHO, these two countries can bring us too little benefit.Just to check and balance Austria, we do not need to intervene at all. Whoever wins is the enemy of Austria.

Now they ask us for help, not to seek international diplomatic support, they still need more money.

The decision of the victory or defeat of this war is not whether the Russian and Russian armies are elite, but more depends on who can raise more money.

It's easy to lend them money, but how to get it back?

Although we do not want to admit it, we have to admit that our ability directly determines the outcome of this war.

If you make the wrong bet, you will eventually lose your money.This is an investment of hundreds of millions of pounds, and I oppose making a choice now."

The word "money" exhausts the essence of British diplomacy.Directly, Edward, the Foreign Secretary who tended to support the Pupo Federation, shut his mouth.

No way, the risk is too great.He didn't know what to ask the Pupo Federation to ensure the safety of the debt.

After hesitating for a while, Prime Minister Benjamin made a decision: "First explore the bottom of William I to see how many chips they have.

The Pupo Federation needs at least two major powers to win this war.If they can obtain the support of Austria or France, it is not impossible to issue war bonds for them."

International debt needs to be considered for risk, even for the wealthy John Bull.Without finding someone to share the risks, they dare not invest hundreds of millions of pounds in gambling directly.

Supporting the Russians is simply outside Benjamin's consideration.The main reason is not a potential threat, but because of money.

Based on the credibility of the Tsarist government, if he dared to lend money to the Russians, his head would be flooded.

Don't consider the issue of collateral, even if you sign a contract, you can still default.The warships of the Royal Navy could not reach the shore again, and their deterrent to the Russians was too small.
