Holy Roman Empire

Soon after the Russian-Austrian agreement was exposed, the Berlin government also tit-for-tat released the "British-Indian Debt Agreement" and "French-President Debt Agreement."

Confidentiality does not exist, and now is the time to improve morale.If there is no good news, how can the people in the country bravely participate in the war?

International loans have always been linked to politics. While providing funds, it also means that everyone is standing in line.

Britain and France support the Pupo Federation, Austria and the Nordic Federation support the Russian Empire, and other European countries also stand in line.

The Netherlands, Belgium, Belgium, Portugal, Spain, the German Federation and other countries are more inclined to the Popo Federation, while Greece and Montenegro support Russia.

In terms of international support, the Pupo Federation still has an advantage, but the Russian Empire has a stronger war potential, and the two sides are equally matched.

At the Vienna Palace, Franz did not feel any surprise at the Russian diplomacy.The diplomatic capabilities of the Tsarist government, able to win over the Nordic Federation, are all performed at a super level.

Denmark has played an important role in this. If the Danes did not work hard, even if there was an Austrian guarantee, the Tsarist government made it so easy for the Nordic Federation to pay for it.

After all, the grievances between the Russians and Sweden have passed for decades, the older generation has died, and the new generation does not feel deeply; but the grievances between Prussia and Denmark are different. It is only a dozen years of hard work that everyone remembers deeply.

Regardless of the Dora hatred of the Russians, they were fighting against Prussia only for Denmark. Most Danes had a good impression of the tsarist government.

Although the Nordic Federation is Sweden at the core, the central government must also consider the sentiment of the Danish people when making decisions.

Moreover, the conditions given by the tsarist government are really tempting.With the guarantee of the Vienna government, the risk of debt default has been greatly reduced.

The worst result can also be a chance to make a fortune of war.The Krona is not an international currency. The Russians have no place at all except to buy and buy in the Nordic Federation.

If you are lucky, you can win Finland without any mercy, and you will make a big profit.

Public opinion in the outside world has already exploded, and for this upcoming war, everyone is divided.

Some people even divided the European world into two camps, and regarded the Pu-Russian war as a game between Britain, France, and Austria.

These messy news did not affect Franz's good mood.The current situation is completely in accordance with the plot he set in advance, and at most there will be a slight discrepancy.

Putting down the newspaper in his hand, Franz: "First allocate 100 million Aegis to the Russians and let the tsarist government boldly do it!"

Loans also need to be paid in installments, and within a short period of time, banks cannot transfer hundreds of millions of Aegis cash without affecting their own operations.

Needless to say, the bonds have just started to go public. They will not be sold out in a few months. The tsarist government will not get any money in the short term.

Being able to get 100 million Aegis in a short period of time is definitely a preferential treatment, and normal commercial loans are definitely not so fast.

...

Money is a heroic courage. The Russians who got the money completely let go of their hands and feet and immediately recruited troops nationwide.

In the Winter Palace, Alexander II is listening to his son in return.Unable to get support from the Anglo-French Division, Alexandrovich's trip to Europe naturally ended rashly.

"Are you saying that the three countries of England, France and Austria have colluded to want us to lose both sides?"

Unsurprisingly, Alexander II was surprised that the current situation was beyond his expectations.

Originally, Alexander II also fantasized about easing relations with Britain and France, allowing them to remain neutral in the war, at least at the beginning of the war, and did not expect to do all the useless work.

Aleksandrovich nodded: "Although there is no direct evidence to prove this, the current practice of the three countries can already be seen.

Negotiations were so difficult in the front, and suddenly an agreement was reached later, which was obviously abnormal.

If you analyze the turning point of the negotiation time, you will find that after the British and the Soviet Union reached an agreement, the Austrians suddenly made a major concession to us and no longer asked us to mortgage all the gold.

It is now the end of October, and at most two months later, it is about to enter the winter. In such a short period of time, it is impossible to distinguish between victory and defeat.

However, the money was in place at this time, and the enemy had begun to expand its army.

If the war is delayed until the spring of next year, the enemies we face are not the hundreds of thousands now, but millions of well-armed troops."

The Russian army has certain advantages in winter operations, but this advantage requires time and place.

This is an advantage when defending locally. If you want to take the initiative to attack, the situation is different.

Not all winters in Russia are as cold as Russia, at least in Poland.

After wandering for a few steps, Alexander II laughed at himself: "It doesn't matter. In general, it's still good for us.

It seems that the impact of our last failure has not subsided, and the Austrians are not optimistic about us, fearing that we will be defeated.

This is a good thing. This kind of judgment will increase the support of the Vienna government in the early stage.If we can use this opportunity to hit the enemy this winter, the situation will be very different."

Over the years of his emperor career, Alexander II has matured into a qualified monarch.Able to find a good side in the shortest time, and strive to enlarge this advantage.

The Commonwealth of Pupo Federation is not solid, and as long as it fails, it will be seriously hurt.If it is hit hard, one winter will certainly not be slow.

In contrast, the Russian Empire's advantages are much greater. With its population advantage, even if it fails, one winter is enough to restore its vitality.

Crown Prince Aleksandrovich stopped talking and proposed the conspiracy of the three countries of Britain, France and Austria to prevent the outbreak of war, but reality told him that it was impossible.

The power of hatred is enormous, and even with this news, he failed to shake Alexander II ’s determination to wage war.

Deep down, Alexander II was unwilling to wage war at this time.But he had no choice, nor did the Russian Empire.

If they do n’t do it now, and the enemy is ready, their odds of winning will be even lower.

The Russian Empire is really too big. Several main railway lines have been completed. Traffic cannot be greatly improved in the short term, but the enemy on the opposite side can.After another one or two years of delay, the railway network in the Federal Republic of Popo became a whole.

...

Army Secretary Paradrew Wald: "Your Majesty, we are ready for war, and you can launch an offensive as soon as you order it.

As of yesterday afternoon, we have mobilized 1.68 million troops, and this number is still increasing at a rate of 150,000 a month, of which 820,000 troops have already gathered on the border.

All the front-line strategic materials are available, enough to support the needs of one million troops for half a year of operations.

In addition, we also have a large amount of food stored in major cities along the way, which can be deployed nearby to minimize logistics pressure."

There is no doubt that the Russians were much more prepared in this war than in the last time.A large amount of strategic materials were transported to the frontline for storage in advance, so that the military and other logistic embarrassment did not occur as soon as the war started.

Facts have proved that the reform of Alexander II was not in vain.Compared with before, the efficiency and execution of the tsarist government have been greatly improved.

It is true that war makes people grow.After being beaten once, the Tsarist government bumped into a bump and set up a wartime mobilization mechanism.

How it works, this needs to be tested.However, the garbage mobilization mechanism is also better than that of directly pulling serfs on the battlefield.

After pondering for a while, Alexander II made a decision: "The shame can only be washed with blood. Now that it is ready, declare war!"

...

At the same time that the tsarist government decided to wage war, the war machine of the Federal Republic of Popo also functioned. The top government of Berlin was meeting around a ten-square-meter sand table.

As early as a year ago, Marshal Mao Qi resigned as prime minister and returned to the General Staff.

Mao Qi, who picked up the baton, is much better than being a prime minister.In fact, for so many years as a prime minister, he spent most of his time in army building and rarely asked political questions.

The prime minister himself is the result of a compromise between the interests of all parties, but personal ability is the least important.

Prussia is an army-owned country, and the Federation of Popo inherited this well.The military has a very big voice in politics. There is no Bismarck, but no one can suppress this group of arrogant and powerful men.

William I was capable, but as a king, it was impossible to end everything in person, only to find a way to play a political balance.

While pointing at the sandbox with a baton, Mao Qi explained: "Your Majesty, you see the blue flag is the division of the Russian army. The enemy deployed about 800,000 troops along the border.

This is just the beginning. The enemy is still hoarding a large amount of troops in the rear, which can be added to the front line at any time.

It is now October, not far from winter.It is almost impossible to defeat the enemy in a short period of time if you want to fight quickly.

The General Staff plans to launch an offensive from the Polish region before the arrival of winter, and strive to burn the war to the Dnieper River and cut off the enemy's water transportation channel."

The Dnieper River flows out of the southern foothills of the Valde Hills, flows south through Belarus, Ukraine, and into the Black Sea.Most rivers are navigable, and their strategic value and economic value are very high.

Through this aquatic lifeline, the Russians can directly transport supplies from Austria to the hands of the Russian frontline.

In the last war, it was also after the general army cut off this lifeline on the water that increased the transportation pressure of the Russians, and the frontline Russian army was caught in the predicament of insufficient supplies.
