Holy Roman Empire

The British's shocking idea directly shocked the Berlin government.

The annexation of the German Confederation is their dream, but the reality does not allow it. In order to avoid being mixed up, the Berlin government has depressed this year from the heart.

Unexpectedly, the British actually proposed it, but this time it was not the annexation of the German Federal Empire by the Pupo Federation, but the annexation of the German Federation by the German Federation.

The order is dropped and the nature is different.The Russian-Russian war continued, and the Berlin government did not have the confidence to talk about the conditions and had to give up its dominance.

William I had a headache. Compromise was not as simple as it sounds. Europe is a place where law is taught.

Although the German Federal Empire was dubbed the "Comedy Empire" by the people, it was also an empire that everyone recognized. The Pupo Federation is now an ordinary state.

Moreover, under this background, who knows whether the other party will take advantage of the fire, for example: request to split the Pupo Federation and join in the name of Prussia and Poland.

Or even further separating the two principalities of Schleswig-Holstein and weakening the strength of the Kingdom of Prussia.

...

Foreign Minister Jeffrey Friedman persuaded: "Your Majesty, judging from the current situation on the battlefield, we are in an extremely disadvantaged state.

The area of ​​Belarus was lost, and the area of ​​Lithuania was mostly occupied. The Warren area captured in the front no longer exists, and the enemy is less than 150 kilometers from Warsaw.

Our soldiers are brave and our officers are excellent, but these are not enough to make up for the gap in strength.

The gap between the strengths of the two countries is very large, and it is difficult to win the war with our own strength.

The experience of the last Russian-Russian war tells us that to deal with the Russian Empire, there must be enough allies to attack from different fronts, disperse their troops, and increase the difficulty of their logistics supply.

The unfavorable performance on the battlefield made our former allies daunted.Now a strong ally must be drawn to increase everyone's confidence, and the German Federal Empire is undoubtedly the best choice."

Army Secretary Filippo asked: "Jeffrey, are you going to sell the country?"

"Join the German Federal Empire, do you know what this means?"

There is one more boss on his head, and naturally the days cannot be so easy.Not to mention that many states within the German Federation do not buy the accounts of the central government. In fact, the central government still has great rights.

For example: issue currency.

No matter how loose the country is, it is impossible to allow multiple currencies to appear. The central government is under the banner of "for economic development". It is difficult for the following states to refuse.

Of course, there is no way out.As long as they study those small states and simply use the international currencies such as Aegis and Pound Sterling, the central government can't take them.

These small national studies do not matter, they have limited market capacity, and they do not have the ability to print banknotes, and the losses caused by using foreign currencies are also limited.

For the convenience of trade, the use of international currency, when engaged in overseas trade, is directly used for settlement, and also saves a conversion fee.

Resting in the Pupo Federation will be different. No matter what currency is used, a large amount of mint tax will be paid to others, and the government's fiscal revenue will be greatly affected.

The economic loss is second, and politically, it is still being criticized.The central government does not interfere in the internal affairs of the country. This was first proposed by Franz. It was valid only a few years ago, and it has not been interfered in the future.

It is nothing more than that the Vienna government has done a very concealed way, by enacting laws and promoting judicial independence, it reaches out its hands.

Nominally the central government has no right to interfere in the operation of the state government, but the judiciary has the power to arrest corrupt officials within the state.

If this effect is not large enough, what about the taxes paid by the states and the finances allocated by the central government?

The pit was dug in advance, and no one knows in advance that the tariffs, mint tax, colonial income, tobacco and alcohol tax alone will have surplus funds while maintaining central government spending.

This is an inevitable result. The central government does not bear the administrative expenses of the local government and does not need to invest in infrastructure for the state. In addition to the large expenditure of military expenses, the financial revenue maintains thousands of bureaucrats of the emperor and the central government.

Except for part of the surplus funds invested in scientific research, the remaining funds are allocated as opportunities to intervene in the internal affairs of the state.

If you have money in your pocket, you will talk hard.At first, these incomes were limited, not enough for the central government's expenses, and the states needed to share the expenses. Naturally, they did not dare to offend the uncle below.

Now that the central government is in a position to pay for itself, if the state wants to apply for central government funding, it has to consider the opinions of the central government.

Similar things can happen in the German Federal Empire.

Although they only get the mint tax, they also spend less.Because at the beginning, the rights of the central government were constrained, and the army was owned by the states, they only had to raise a bunch of civil servants and emperors.

Jeffrey replied unhurriedly: "Of course I know what this means, but do we have a choice?

What are you afraid of?

As long as we have won this war, with our strength, will Hanover be able to help us fail?

Do n’t forget that the system of the German Federal Empire follows the Holy Roman Empire and implements the system of imperial elections. If we draw enough allies, we can also change to a central government.

Regardless of the restrictions they have set, we can all think of ways to bypass them in the future.Treaties can be torn down and laws can be modified.

At that time, this is the internal affairs of the empire, as long as there is a justifiable reason, even the British can not say anything!

As long as they want us to contain France and Austria, the London government will not treat us!Now it is imperative to think about how to bring the German Federation over."

Theoretically, as long as the Popper Federation joins the German Federal Empire, usurpation of Hanover ’s central government status is not a problem.

The Berlin government can think of it, and Hanover can naturally think of it.

The snake swallows the elephant, which is the legendary "snake", not all snakes have such a good appetite.

Hanover is not even a group of small states within the German Confederation, and it is not an ambitious master in any way.Even if the Popper Federation is sent to the door, it is estimated that others dare not take it.

Filippo is very injured. He opposed it mainly because of the issue of dominance. However, the reality is very hurt. The Federation of Popo is not affected.

This is the first time I have been worried. As early as many years ago, politicians proposed the "Pu Austria merger concept of co-domination of Central Europe", unfortunately Austria is not willing to share the fruits with them.

No way, pay and return are not equal, Franz naturally cannot agree.

Even if the Berlin government lowered the conditions at the time, the result was the same. The dual empire was not fun, and Franz was not willing to challenge the copy of hell.

When joining the German Federal Empire this time, the bottom line of the Berlin government is undoubtedly lower. As long as the war is won, the future will not be regretted, and Hanover will not have the strength to force them to perform the contract.

After a moment of silence, William I said slowly: "This time it was the British lead. I suppose the London government has a way to compromise Hanover.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs first contacted the British. As long as they could pull the German Federal Empire into the water, all conditions could be fulfilled first, and whether they would cash in and win the war."

Nothing wrong, winning the war, the Berlin government is qualified to consider these issues; if the war is lost, the Popo Federation is destined to end.

Even if the three countries of England, France, Austria, and France are shot, the Kingdom of Prussia can save it, which is a reduced version, and it has nothing to do with them.

...

The Berlin government is worried, as are the British.In particular, Sir Edward, who led the plan, had just begun to implement the plan, and he regretted it.

Things are not as simple as imagined, Her Majesty the Queen agreed to do the work of the "Comic Empire" royal family, but the London government must ensure that the royal family's status is not shaken.

These are all minor issues, isn't it just to make a promise, Sir Edward said it doesn't matter.

After this war, the Poppo Federation must cultivate itself. In a short period of time, the Berlin government dare not play with moths. As for the future, it is a problem that the later government should worry about.

The trouble is the special system of the comedy empire. It is useless to persuade the emperor, and the people and the imperial council restrict it.

"Persuading these small states", the idea is very good, but the practice is not desirable, telling them is not equivalent to telling Austria?

Even Franz didn't know what the "Comic Empire" was penetrated into.Anyway, Aegis is the universal currency of this country, with more circulation than the Rhein Shield issued by the central government.

It is not that the central government does not want to prohibit it. The key is that it is a legal currency approved by the Imperial Parliament, and the emperor is powerless.

Of course, the Vienna government also paid a price. The vote for Tao Li opened the colonial market to these small states that voted in favor, and from time to time, economic assistance was provided.

Although the two places are politically separated, they have long been integrated economically.

In this context, it is difficult for Edward to believe the secrecy of these small states.As long as the wind is leaked, the "plan" can only be a plan, after all, bad things are much easier than success.

Without the support of a small state, it is not impossible to bypass the Imperial Parliament. It is just that in the following war, do n’t think that everyone will contribute.

The army of the "Comedy Empire" belongs to the state government, and the emperor can only command the troops of Hanover, and barely put together a dozen or two hundred thousand troops, which is already the limit.

If the Imperial Parliament does not honour the Central Government, and then vetoes the resolution allowing the Federation of Popo to join the Empire, even material assistance will not work.

At most, the emperor ran alone with the direct Hanover army to fight the Russians, and had nothing to do with the German Federal Empire.

This strength, which has increased the casualties of the Russians, is not enough to change the outcome of this war.

Well, Edward admits he thinks too much.So far, as the Berlin government has responded to his plan, the German Federal Empire has not given a reply at all.

The pay is visible to the naked eye, but the reward is illusory.The legitimacy of the central government of the comedy empire has always been questioned by the public, and it is usually necessary to be cautious to prevent the imperial parliament from grasping it.

There is not enough interest. If you want others to take risks to participate in the tragic Russian-Russian war, even the British boss will not work.

Now it is not that there is no other choice, and it is urgent that people can switch jobs at any time.Now that there are many buyers, changing one can also sell a good price.
