Holy Roman Empire

With the passage of time, the overseas interests of various countries continue to increase, and the friction and checks and balances among major powers have become more and more, and they are often passively generated.

Austria wanted to destroy Ottoman in order to obtain a stable large rear, and inadvertently penetrated its tentacles into Persia and had the ability to threaten India.

In overseas colonial activities, there are many checks and balances between Britain and Austria, and the threats are mutual.

You can move my cheese, and I can take your bread.Everyone is restraining each other, for example:

The Cape of Good Hope of the British is okay under the eyes of Austria; the Austrian Alaska is next to Canada, and there is no conflict.

Different from the past, Austrian Alaska is no longer a country of ice and snow, but the world's famous gold producing area.

Of course, this is not famous, it does not mean that the local gold production is against the sky, mainly because the colonial government has done a good job in advertising.

For ranking, the main gold producing regions in the world are: South Africa, Australia, Canada, the United States, Russia, and West Africa. Alaska can only rank seventh.

The reputation of Austrian Alaska is mainly due to the harsh climatic conditions, which was nicknamed the “test of God” by Austrian poets.

The Alaska colonial government, which lacks population, directly regards this sentence as propaganda.

It has been declared to the outside world that Alaska has the world's worst natural gold mines and is the test that God has left to mankind.

Only by withstanding the test set by God can we get rich and get to the top of life.

Of course, the Russians may not be convinced of the statement "the worst natural conditions", and there are many gold mines in the Russian Empire's harsh climate.

It ’s true to say that it is God ’s test. If you do n’t pass the test, you will really see God.

In Alaska, there are more than four figures of gold diggers every year, and they see God on the gold digging road.Those who have made a fortune are very few lucky ones who have passed the test.

Alaska ’s annual gold production of dozens of tons is also a piece of fat that cannot be easily shed for the Vienna government.

If the British government is not too sensitive to India, it will find that the power of mutual restraint between Britain and Austria is no longer small.

Although India is delicious, the government of Vienna cannot be risky until it is fully eaten.

The premise of a potential threat is "potential", and the British have been operating in India for so many years, and it is not a paper.

Now, at the peak of Britain, if anyone thinks that British India is a soft persimmon, it ’s silly to rush up and custody.

...

The goodwill released by the government of London and Vienna pulled the British government out of panic.

As the saying goes, "You are also afraid, then I will rest assured."Since Austria is still afraid of Britain, it means that India is temporarily safe.

In the Downing Street Prime Minister ’s mansion, after rationally analyzing the pros and cons, Gladstone was lost.

"Do you think the Austrian government has suddenly released goodwill, what exactly do you want to do?"

What seemed to come to mind, Foreign Minister George's face changed greatly: "What is the real purpose of the Austrians, for the time being unsure. But then, I am afraid we will be in big trouble.

Austria ’s willingness to sign a guarantee treaty with us can only prove that the Vienna government has no interest in Persia for the time being, and it does not mean that the Russians are also not interested.

The international situation is changing. Although Austria temporarily leads European countries, their European dominance is not stable.

It can be seen from the release of the goodwill of the Vienna government to us that the Austrians have not settled down for the overlord of the European continent.

Neither the ambitious Russians nor the arrogant French will recognize their status.

Caught between France and Russia, Austria's European hegemony is a joke.Perhaps aware of this, the Vienna government has never claimed itself as a European hegemon.

As time goes on, both France and Russia will regain their vitality, and Austria will be in trouble.

According to past experience, the Austrians will not face confrontation with France and Russia. Most of them will have to play the trick of shifting contradictions.

I am afraid that in the next step, they will agitate the Russians to the next continent, stir up the conflict between the Russians and us, and then concentrate on dealing with France.

The North German Empire we planned with one hand may become a guard guarding the west gate for Austria."

The reason why Yangmou is terrible is that things will still happen because of exposure.

The Russian ambitions cannot be eliminated by the London government.Unlike Russia-Australia relations, since the anti-French war, the two countries have been allies and have been bumping into each other until now. The relationship between Britain and Russia has been a complete mess.

Even if the Austrian plan is placed on the desk of Alexander III, the tsarist government will still be happy to the next continent.

The warning issued by the London government can only be counterproductive. Trust is always easy to corrupt and difficult to build.

Over the past few decades, Russia and Austria have established a basic relationship of trust through three generations of monarchs.Although the knife was stabbed in secret, the agreement reached by the two countries was finally fulfilled.

The Vienna government encouraged Russia to go south, and that was a tangible interest. The tsarist government would naturally believe it; the British pointed out that Austrian conspiracy to separate British-Russian relations, the tsarist government would never take it seriously.

I have never had anything for you, so why not talk about separation?

The North German Empire served as a guard even more incomprehensible. It was determined by its geographical location. They were caught in the middle of the Fau, and it would be impossible to think of it as a guard.

Unless the plan of the North German Empire is abandoned and the North German region will continue to split, then the weak German Confederation will certainly not be a problem.

This is the worst option, there is no one.External pressure is also the driving force that unites a nation.

Unless the London government personally helps to withstand the military pressure of the French, the pile of small states in the German region will fall to Austria in minutes.

After hesitating for a while, Gladstone sighed: "The price that Austria can offer is too high for the Russians to refuse.

However, this is a matter for the future, and the tsarist government should be peaceful for a while.To prepare the Indian Governor for the future, Central Asia and the Persian region will be less peaceful.

Warn the French and let them resist their ambitions.Otherwise they will create opportunities for the Austrians and reorganize the anti-French alliance, so they will cry!

Next, everyone is going to increase their alertness, especially the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

The enemies encountered this time are different from the past. They are more difficult than France and Russia. The past experience is not useful to them.

The main battlefield in the future has shifted, from a real killer to a diplomatic game."

The government of Vienna made successive moves, and the London government could only respond passively, which made Gladstone very dissatisfied.

You have to know that Britain has always been known as a diplomatic power, but now it is actually being held by the nose. If you want to fight back, you do n’t know how to start?

Foreign Minister George replied confidently: "Relax, Prime Minister. It was just that our vigilance against Austria wasn't enough, and they took advantage of the loophole before they fell into a passive state. Nothing like this will happen again."

...

On November 18, 1882, the Anti-Turkish Alliance successfully met on the Kyzyl River, and the Ottoman Empire became precarious.

In the Ankara palace, Abdul Hamid II was already in a hurry at the moment, which was ten times more severe than the Austrian airship dropping bombs above him in the last Near East War.

The British boss is indeed very powerful and supports a lot of their supplies, but this is all past tense.

After the Asia Minor Peninsula was divided into two, the western region was completely isolated from the world and surrounded by the Anti-Turkish Alliance on all sides.

No amount of material assistance can be delivered.In theory, the British can also use airships for airdrops.

Unfortunately, this is not possible. The British support for Ottomans is also limited. Sending airships to airdrop supplies directly is to challenge the bottom line of the Anti-Turkish Alliance.

In case of intensification of conflicts and involvement of themselves, the London government can only cry.

Neither Austria nor Russia has a separate look at the strength of the Indian region, but once the two countries join forces, the situation will be different.

Not to mention the expulsion of the British, at least there is no problem in burning the war into the hinterland of India.At the same time against the second of the world's three continent military powers, the London government has not gone crazy.

Waging war to defend Ottoman?It is estimated that the proposal has just been made, and Downing Street will change its owner.

The panicked Abdul Hamid II: "Prince, what should we do now?"

Midhart replied uneasy: "Your Majesty, at this stage, the enemy will not give us a way to live. We can only desperately want to keep Ottoman.

The Russian army is only more than 80 kilometers away from Ankara. Next we will prepare for the capital defense battle. Your majesty can visit the front line to boost morale."

"Do we have any hope of winning?" Abdul Hamid II asked expectingly

He really wanted to hear that someone could give him a definite answer.Midhart is not the master of flattery, the domestic mess makes his heart rhythm crisp, this time naturally will not be complacent.

"The enemy's advantage is too great, and our probability of winning the war is almost zero, but there is still hope to keep the Ottoman Empire.

As long as the Anti-Turkish Alliance is given the most damage, the cruel casualties will calm them down and then go to the negotiating table.

When the time comes to pay a certain price and send the enemy out of the country, we will be able to end the war decently."

Abdul Hamid II said fiercely: "Okay, I will go to inspect the barracks."

The most feared thing is that there is no hope. Even if you know that hope is slim, there will still be people who can't help trying it.

By this time, the expectations of Abdul Hamid II had also dropped, and it was enough to keep the Ottoman Empire and the throne.
