Holy Roman Empire

The event fermented too fast, and politicians in various European countries were stunned.Negotiations broke down so quickly, this is not a card at all!

Under normal circumstances, don't you quarrel for a few months first, wait for the preparation for the war, and mobilize the emotions of the people before you officially turn your face?

Mediation must be mediated, even if it is to brush a sense of presence, it must also express its attitude.

Before the end of April, the Vienna government received diplomatic notes from more than a dozen countries, all calling for calmness and peace.

Perhaps it was moved by everyone's sincerity that the Vienna government made a concession and decided to restart the second round of negotiations on April 29, 1882, but the international mediation proposed by various countries was rejected.

...

Affected by the tensions in the Near East, Sir Gladstone, known as Britain's greatest prime minister, can't breathe now.

Gladstone: "Everyone, the situation is already very obvious. The Austrian government is determined to wage war, and the massacre is only an excuse for them.

From Britain ’s standpoint, I do n’t want to see anything happen that destabilizes the Near East.It is a pity that France is engaged in a civil war and we cannot do anything if we want to interfere.

What we want to discuss today is how to ensure that the interests of Britain will not be impacted after the great changes in the situation in the Near East."

Foreign Secretary George: "It is inevitable to be hit, at least our interests in the Ottoman Empire are doomed to be insecure.

If we simply want to make up for the losses caused by the war, we can also exchange benefits with Austria.

However, I do not recommend this.Judging from the current situation, the defeat of Ottoman is sooner or later.

What happens next is hard to say.If the Austrians just want to beat Ottoman to shift the domestic contradictions, it is okay to say.

If Austria annexed the Ottoman Empire at once, the threat to us would be too great."

After finishing speaking, George got up and walked to the hanging map, and pointed with a smoky gun: "From India, there is only one Persian left."

This is a real problem that must be faced squarely.The Ottoman Empire declined, and Persia was worse than Ottoman. It was impossible to expect Persia to block Austria.

To say "the Vienna government is not interested in India", this statement is estimated to be Franz's letter. Anyway, the London government is not convinced.

At that time, the influence of Austria extended to the Persian Gulf, which caused the concern of the London government.It's just that there is a gap across the sea, and everyone is very relieved of the Royal Navy.

It's different now. Let Austria expand all the way to be a neighbor on land.Can't you expect the lobster soldiers to kill the Quartet, and deter the enemy?

The colonial minister Primrose complained: "This is simply terrible. Judging from the current situation, the Vienna government has made it clear that it will annex Ottoman, and there is no need to doubt their ambitions.

If we do not want to fight an Indian defense, we must stop the Austrians from the two rivers."

The cruel reality is just like Primrose ’s mood at this time. As a colonial minister, any issue involving Indian security may bring him an irreparable political disaster.

Foreign Secretary George decisively replied: "No, this is nothing, there are worse things behind!

If the Austrians do not eat solitary food and pull the Russians together to divide Ottoman, then we will be threatened by two big powers at the same time.

In the style of the Vienna government, the chance of this happening is very high.Even with the plan to divide India, the Russian-Austrian alliance can continue."

If the country is under siege from Russia and Austria, then there is nothing to say.

No country in the world can withstand this level of blow, even if they have been operating in India for a long time.

Thinking of this terrible result, Gladstone can't doubt it: "Immediately stop supporting the French Revolutionary Party and help Napoleon IV stabilize the domestic situation as soon as possible."

Britain needs allies, and there is no need for allies more than now.Faced with the possible Russian-Austrian combination, without a flesh shield, they really can't scream.

Foreign Minister George added: "The French are not enough. We have to find more allies. The Nordic Federation can also be brought in. Perhaps now we should accelerate the establishment of North Germany."

The aftermath of the Russian-Russian war broke out, and after losing the Prussian gold medalist, France alone couldn't help it.

...

One wave was unsettled and another wave started again.

Influenced by the wave of European revolution, Ottoman nationalism also became active.

After the "genocide" broke out, the Ottoman nationalists felt that their dignity was insulted, believing that this was Austria's interference in their internal affairs.

At the critical moment when the two Austrians resumed negotiations, the Ottoman Empire broke out a powerful anti-imperialist movement.

Encouraged by patriotic youths, Ankara people held slogans and gathered in the embassy district to protest.

These are all minor issues. The gangster's mentality is very good, and being protested is a daily operation.Everyone gets used to it more often.

The key point is that an accident occurred during the protest. The Greek ambassador, Sextus, was killed by the protesting people, and the matter was over.

Including Franz, he was so mad, what did the Greeks do?

Can't we say that Greek imperialism invaded Ottoman and demanded blood and blood?

For the most malicious intentions, Franz had enough reasons to suspect that this was done by Austrian agents, but there was no evidence.

More news came to solve the mystery in everyone's mind.

It is said that when the Greek ambassador returned home, the carriage killed a child crossing the road, stimulating the bloody Ottoman people, and the conflict happened.

The great powers can't afford it, can't a small Greece do?

When the Ottoman police arrived on the battlefield, the unlucky messenger, Sextus, as well as the driver and the guard, had already seen God.

The minister of a country was beaten to death, no matter what the Ottoman government explained, it was useless.

Originally, the Ottoman government held Sectus responsible for the car accident. Unfortunately, the person concerned is dead and the dead person is not responsible.

At this point, the relationship of responsibility has changed.Greece, which has become a victim, will naturally not admit that the carriage was hitting people.

The Greek government insisted that the Ottomans were barbaric and brutally killed the Minister of Sextus, demanding that the Ottoman government surrender all suspects and accept the investigation of the Greek government.

Yes, it means "all". The Greek government believes that those who participated in the protests on that day are suspect, and requests the Ottoman government to hand them over to them for acceptance by the Greek government.

This is impossible. The number of people who participated in the protests was as high as five figures on that day. Even if the Ottoman government tried to calm down, it would not be possible to hand over the people.

...

Having figured out the causes and consequences, Franz smiled: "So, the Greeks want to rub it up to pick up the bargain."

The "Communist Murder Case" provided the best opportunity for the Greek government to intervene.

Austria needs a reasonable excuse for war, bundling Greece ’s “Communist Murder Case” together, will undoubtedly increase the persuasion of the “genocide case”.

It is impossible for the Ottoman government to try to cleanse. There is water in the "genocide case", but the "ambassador's murder case" actually killed a minister.

Foreign Minister Weisenberg replied: "Yes. Soon after the incident, the Greek government contacted us and expressed their willingness to join forces to fight the barbaric Ottoman Empire.

Although the Greeks have a good attitude, their appetite is not small.Not only are you interested in the islands of the Aegean Sea, but also want to take a slice of the soup from the Asia Minor Peninsula."

Greece, a country with a heavy historical burden, is a big country dream.

It's a pity that Greece's luck is not very good, any neighbors have the strength to hang them, no matter how big the ambition can only hold back.

Ottoman is their only opportunity to expand their territory, and if they miss it again, they really have to go home and dream.

Franz said casually: "This world is fair, and harvest and contribution are equal.

The Greeks wanted to take a slice of the soup from the Asia Minor Peninsula, so they first proved their strength.

Tell the Greeks that in this war we distribute loot according to contribution, and make as many contributions on the battlefield as we want to take away."

There is no doubt that "distribute loot by contribution" is a huge pit.Contributions on the battlefield must depend on strength, and no matter how weak the Ottoman Empire is, Greece cannot match it.

As far as their family is concerned, if they can't restrain greed, they will all go in if they can't manage it.

In this cruel world, deciding the distribution of benefits will always be strength.Expecting fairness is better than expecting the virtue of the Vienna government.
