Holy Roman Empire

At the Vienna Palace, the content of the English-Prague negotiations has reached Franz.It's not that the intelligence department is so powerful, it was completely leaked by the British.

In this high-level negotiation, there are only a few people who are insiders, and they are all high-level ministerial officials, which is simply not something that intelligence organizations can buy.

It is not surprising that the Commonwealth of Popper draws closer to the British. In any case, John Bull is a sea power country and cannot be the hegemon of the mainland. There is no direct conflict between the British and the Protestant.

In contrast, Austria is different.The government of Vienna shouts every day to unify the German region, and the core territory of the Popper Federation is in the German region. The Berlin government is not worried if it is worried.

From Austria ’s standpoint, it is in the best interest of both Russia and Russia to lose both sides.Cooperating with Austria is to seek a hide with the tiger.In the case of choice, the Berlin government naturally tends to the British.

"The British actually want to promote the relationship between France and France, do you think there is any conspiracy behind this?"

All along, the British have been trying to isolate the French. Now that they are suddenly pushing the law closer, it is difficult for Franz not to try to figure it out with the greatest malice.

Foreign Minister Weisenberg analyzed: "Your Majesty, there may be two reasons.

The outcome of this Russian-Russian war is unpredictable. The British can only guarantee the victory of the Commonwealth of Popo, and they do not want to give up the benefits of sending them to the door. They must find someone to share the risk.

If the French are attracted, under the joint British and French forces, even if the situation is unfavorable, they will be able to keep the Pupo Federation and ensure that the investment will not be lost.

The other is for us.The London government believes that Fau's strength has been out of balance and needs to bring allies to the French and continue to maintain the European balance.

The latter is unlikely. With the prestige left by Napoleon, the British will only overestimate the strength of France and cannot underestimate it.

Since supporting the restoration of the Spanish royal family, the French strategic situation in Europe has been reversed.The London government is still having a headache for splitting the Fascist alliance, and there is no reason to continue to draw them allies."

In the mid-19th century, after the restoration of Napoleon III, France broke the shackles of the Vienna system, and its military strength was resurrected.

European countries are worried about the military threat from France, and under the leadership of Austria, Western, Pud, Swiss, Belgian and Dutch countries have signed a joint defense treaty, and the French strategy has fallen into a passive state.

Of course, the expansion of the French was not blocked.For example, the relationship between Osage is bad, the Kingdom of Sardinia is excluded from the United Defense Organization, and the French have only one way to expand to the Italian region.

In order to change the diplomatic dilemma, Napoleon III took a series of political diplomatic actions to improve relations with European countries.

After the outbreak of civil strife in Spain, the French government supported the restoration of Alfonso XII, Spain announced its withdrawal from the United Defence Organization, and the strategic blockade declared bankruptcy.

The geopolitical relationship between France and Spain is so close that John Bull cannot sleep.For their own strategic security, the British have been thinking of ways to divide France and Spain.

Prime Minister Felix: "For whatever reason, it has become a fact that the popularization of law is close. Without the cooperation of the British, it is difficult for us to stop this from happening alone.

The French are ambitious and have always wanted to seize the European hegemony. It is impossible to refuse the Pupo federation.

The two sides already have the basis for the benefits of cooperation. Even if they are not alliances, the relationship will go further.We need to be prepared in advance to avoid being caught by surprise when we get it."

No way, if the Popper Federation chose the British, Austria could only support the Russians, which was determined by national interests.

Franz has no interest in continental hegemony, but this can't be said!Austria has no ambitions for the European continent. Franz himself did not believe it.

This is not a question of ambition, it is mainly determined by strength.Regardless of whether or not, as long as the strength is reached, interest groups will push the government up.

Now Austria has not moved, that is the game is still in progress.The French are Hu Weiyou, and on the bright side, France and Austria have the same military strength, and the British are on the side.

The rise of Austria is one-point military and nine-point politics, and there are relatively few radicals in the country.The ideal strategy of most people is to unify the German region, and dominating the world is not within the scope of the plan.

Of course, this is also related to the distribution of benefits.Austria has received a lot in the colonial movement. As a vested interest, naturally it is not so cynical, and it is anxious to break the world order.

Foreign Minister Weisenberg: "The situation is not that serious. It is not always a bad thing to get close to the Franco-Prussian Law. At least the German Federation is going to fall back to us. If you are lucky, you can win over Belgium.

As long as the Russians do not fall, the Popo Federation will always be held back. The main thing we need to face is France.

The only headache is not sure about the British choice.But this is not difficult to solve. The anti-legal faction in the London government is definitely more than the anti-Austrian faction, and we have a greater advantage in diplomacy.

Moreover, it is Belgium and the German Commonwealth. It is impossible for the London government to completely ignore the younger brother ’s interests and join us in suppressing the French."

The reality is before us. The French import tens of millions of tons of coal from Belgium and Germany every year. This number is still increasing.

This has seriously affected the development of the French economy, especially in the heavy industry, and France has lagged behind Britain and Austria.

Even if the French government wants to exercise restraint, domestic capitalists will not agree.If the Paris government does not want to see the Italian problem escalate, it must solve the energy problem.

Looking around, except for Belgium and the German Commonwealth, Britain and Austria are the only ones with abundant coal resources nearby.This multiple choice question is simply a fixed answer.

Right now, the French are still actively looking for coal mines, hoping to gain something in the colony of North Africa.When they complete the prospecting, they will take the most extreme way.

Everyone is a realist. When the French move, Belgium and Germany will find the British unreliable. Only Austria has one option.

Franz shook his head: "It's not that simple, hatred can't influence British people's decisions, they will only be affected by interests.

Judging from the current situation, France's demand for resources continues to increase, at most no more than two decades, the French will reach out to the two countries for resources.

At that time, we will either enter the market passively or actively participate in the game.The British will still continue their balancing strategy, and those who are strong will suppress them.

From the economic data point of view, the French have gone off course.In order to maintain rapid economic growth, I do not know which genius came up with the idea of ​​developing an industry chain with the financial industry as the core.

According to the current development speed, how long do you think the balance of Fao can be maintained?"

The essence of the usury empire has not changed. Since the death of Napoleon III, the French government has been unable to suppress the domestic capitalists, and the economy has involuntarily tilted towards finance.

As the energy crisis intensified, French industrial costs continued to increase. This situation became more and more serious, and the manufacturing industry accounted for a lower and lower proportion of GDP.

In the short term, the illusory numbers cover up the contradictions and everyone can't see the crisis.But once the war broke out, all the problems would break out.

Needless to say, the world's boss always wants to suppress the second child.The French bubble was punctured when the Austrians and the British turned their faces.

Economic Minister Reinhardt Hardeghan: "How long the military balance can be maintained depends on the changes in the international situation. But economically, the balance has long been broken.

According to the analysis of the data collected by the Statistics Bureau, France ’s industrial strength is only 68.1% of the British and only 58.6% of us. This proportion is still declining.

The gap in the heavy industry is even greater. Take the steel industry as an example: French steel production is only 37.2% of the British, less than one-third of us.

Coal production is even more disparate, less than a third of the British and less than a quarter of us.

These data can already explain a lot of problems. It is worth mentioning that the newly added Italian region has hardly contributed to the French heavy industry, the coal output can be ignored, and there are only a few small workshops for steel."

It's not that the Italian region is taken lightly. There are really few local resources.The capitalists were willing to support Napoleon III in order to obtain more cheap industrial raw materials.

No one thought that France is also barren in resources.The annexation of the Italian region only nominally increased France's national power, but in fact it was more of a burden.

If nothing else, without the Italian region, France ’s resources are absolutely scarce than it is today.

After hesitating for a while, Franz made the decision: "Accelerate the negotiation process with the Russians. As long as the Russians are willing to deposit the gold reserves in the Austrian National Bank, the insufficient part will accept their territorial mortgage.

If the tsarist government agrees to use 90% of the funds to purchase Austrian goods, we accept them to use industrial raw materials to pay off their debts."

It doesn't matter if the loan is received or not. Since the Federal Republic of Popo has made a choice, Austria cannot help but respond.

Moreover, this is already doomed.With the international credibility of the Tsarist government, who dares to lend them money except Austria?

If the government of Vienna does not support the Russians, the war has not yet begun, and it has already been divided.

The Chancellor of the Exchequer changed his face and quickly dissuaded: "Your Majesty, the financial situation of the Russians is very bad. Even if they won the war, they have no ability to pay back the money.

There is no problem with gold mortgages.But territorial mortgages are completely unnecessary, and Austria does not need these terrible land now.

Dividing the Pupo federation is an empty cheque. Now that the British have decided to support the Pupo federation, the French have a great chance of supporting them.

With the backing of Britain and France, even if the Russians can win, they will not destroy the Pupo Federation, and at most they will take back the Polish region. We don't need these bad places."

Karl has repeatedly emphasized "bad ground", and Franz also has a headache.Since the localization of Africa, the desire of the top Vienna government to expand on the European continent has disappeared.

It's not that the land that the Russians took out as mortgage is really rotten, but on the contrary it's still very fertile, mainly because the cost is too high.

Franz explained stubbornly: "This is a strategic need. We need both Russia and Russia to lose both sides and eliminate two potential threats at the same time.

Without funding the Tsarist government, what did the Russians use to fight?

The issue of collateral can be slowly discussed with the Russians.The tsarist government can be fooled first, as long as they win the war, they can exchange the territory of the Federation of Poppo.

As for the homeland of the German region, we can replace it in a ratio of 1: 3, and let them mortgage the Ukrainian region as much as possible.

If the tsarist government insists on taking Bulgarian regions as collateral, let them add Constantinople.They can also be allowed to redeem, but it must be profitable."

Chancellor of the Exchequer Karl worriedly said: "With the credibility of the Tsarist government, I am afraid that it will be difficult for them to fulfil the treaty, and I am afraid it will be another dispute at that time."

Not "fear", but disputes are bound to occur.With the credibility of the Russians, the possibility of actively fulfilling promises is almost zero, and it will still depend on strength.

At this point, Franz is very relieved that the Pupo Federation is not weak, and the post-war Russian empire will have to be delaminated without dying.
