766 Strategic Misleading

At the same time as the establishment of the Northern German Empire and the detonation of European public opinion, there was also polarization within the German nationalists.

The optimists believe that this is a further step in the process of reunification in the German region, from three-point world to two-man power, one step away from reunification.

The pessimists believe that this is the beginning of the disaster. After the merger of Pudde, the strength has become stronger, and with the intervention of European powers, unification has become a "flower in the mirror, the moon in the water", which is intangible.

In order to appease the commotion of the people, Franz personally sent a congratulatory message to George I. By the way, he wrote an article "The Road to Reunification".

It is clearly pointed out that the merger of Pude and Germany is a small step in the process of reunification of the German region. The next step is to return North Germany to the embrace of the Shenluo Empire.

Naturally, thanks to the British people in the article, it greatly commended the London government for its contribution to the Pudd merger, and Franz encouraged them to continue their efforts.

The British saw what thoughts, Franz did not know, anyway, anti-British sentiment in the German region rose.

By the way, the coronation ceremony of George I became extremely chilly. Most monarchs in Europe were sent by representatives, and the monarchs in Germany were also absent collectively.

Including Frederick III, King of Prussia, was absent due to physical discomfort. Only the Gotha dynasty's own family went to support the scene.

There is no way, the atmosphere is too weird.France and Russia expressed direct opposition, but Franz sent someone to send sincere blessings, but the effect seems to be reversed.

The European continent is still dominated by France, Russia, and Austria, and the British are no better than that at sea, even with the newly formed North Germany.

At this sensitive moment, any action may be interpreted politically.

The monarchs of countries with political capabilities naturally know how to stand in line.Moreover, everyone is also envious and jealous of the two crowns on George I's head.

So far, most nobles in the European world have not recognized the legitimacy of George I's throne.No way, there is no legal basis.

Turn history?

Franz is the legal system of the Shinra empire. Hanover wants to obtain the legal system from the Shinra. Let's talk about Austria first.

Election law?

The electoral laws in the German region are derived from the "Golden Seal Edict", and Hanover is not even an elector.

Even if it is forced to snatch a number, it is stipulated in this code that the Pope must be crowned "King of Germany" to succeed the emperor.

This is even more tragic, unless the Roman Catholic Court is crazy, otherwise they cannot admit a Protestant emperor.

The original Prussia of time and space was not legal because of the superior means of force, and was not recognized by everyone. William I could only take a parallel throne.

The crown on George I's head is even more watery, and the value of existence is probably more face-saving in the name, which is basically not recognized in official documents of various countries.

The throne of parallel imports is also the emperor.For a noble noble, this is enough for everyone to be jealous of.

The London government became embarrassed when it was disrupted by Franz.

The European media are all praising the London government for its clever and troubled Northern German Empire, which has completed the great strategy of three birds with one stone.

Sounds great, a great diplomatic victory.It ’s just that there are a lot of people who accidentally offend, leaving the British government in a diplomatic isolation.

Anglo-French alliance?

Naturally, it no longer exists. It has just been put together. If Napoleon IV is still allied with the British, then his brain will be flooded.

After this lesson, Napoleon IV has fully understood why his father, who has always been pro-British and hatred, would rather unite with his hostile Austria than to form a team with the close English.

Regardless of what the London government thinks, the French government has labeled them: "no credibility, pit allies".

Every time I saw a newspaper bragging about the diplomatic means of the London government, Prime Minister Gladstone felt a headache.

Although what is said above is a fact, there are some things that cannot be said. Things are picked up. What should the French of the quasi-ally think?

Every report reported that a salt was spread on the wounds of others. The more public opinion was touted, the more the French government could not step down.

Gladstone: "The North German Empire is established, but the situation is somewhat beyond control.

I put an end to Austria ’s unification of the German region and was misinterpreted by the outside world. Both France and Russia felt that we were targeting them.

This makes our international situation very embarrassing. If it is not resolved within a short period of time, we will fall into diplomatic isolation again."

Diplomatically isolated by European countries, the London government has not experienced this for the first time, but the situation is a bit different now.

It was isolated by European countries that year, which was voluntary by the London government. At that time, they were busy developing overseas colonies, and they had no time to participate in European affairs.

With the stability of the situation on the European continent, the London government is naturally better than less.

The situation is obviously different now. The strength of the countries on the European continent has been out of balance.France, which has fallen into a disadvantage, is still addicted to the glory of the past, unable to extricate itself.

To make matters worse, both France and Austria are colonial powers, and there are many regions with conflicts of interest with Britain. The Tsarist government has never missed Central Asia.

While Europe is isolated, Britain may also be retaliated against from three countries.At the same time, one enemy and three, let alone the Army, even the Royal Navy may not be able to hold it.

Foreign Minister George replied with a bitter smile: "This is a mistake in our work and ignores the sensitivity of France and Russia to the establishment of the North German Empire.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs will try to repair relations with other countries as soon as possible, but this will take some time.

In addition, after experiencing these things, we also found the conflict between Austria and France and Russia, not as big as we expected.

The three countries of France, Austria and Russia are indeed contenders for the hegemony of the European continent and each other's biggest competitors, but competitors do not mean that they will soon be hostile.

The Russian Empire is still recovering, and will be unable to compete for hegemony for a long time to come.

In order to protect its own interests, in a short period of time, the tsarist government will most likely follow the pace of Austria in diplomacy.

The Near East War was a meeting between Russia and Austria. The Vienna government tied the Russians with Ottoman's interests. It was very difficult to separate Russia-Austria relations.

The relationship between France and Austria is incomprehensible.It stands to reason that both French emperors have a tendency to fight against Austria, and the relationship between France and Austria should be very bad.

However, the reality is just the opposite.The two countries with serious conflicts of interest and a long history of hatred have emerged as allies most of the time.

Including the recent civil unrest in France, the Austrians did not fall into the ground, but ran to start the Near East War.

If the government of Vienna sent troops to give the French a blow, most of the Italian region would have become independent.

A chance to kill the French was wasted. The Vienna government did not suffer. The enemy, the Ottoman Empire, was almost over, and the relationship between France and Austria also eased.

There are all indications that Napoleon IV's anti-Austrian tendency is no longer so obvious, and hostility within the French government is not so strong.

This is a dangerous signal. If the relationship between France and Austria continues to heat up, the Vienna government is likely to promote the alliance between France, Russia and Austria and jointly control the European continent with the situation of the alliance."

Is there really only "dominant continent"?

The impact of the alliance between France, Russia and Austria is not much weaker than the previous alliance between Britain, France and Austria.

There are two reasons for forming an alliance: either have common interests; or have common enemies.

The world has been divided up almost, and the leftover soup will definitely not satisfy the appetite of the three countries, so it can only be won by the fourth person.

Against this background, Britain, which had the greatest interests in the colonial era, naturally became a target.

In addition to interests, Britain is barely a common enemy of the three countries.In a sense, the friendship between France, Russia and Austria depends on Britain.

Gladstone nodded, his expression dignified: "This situation has to be guarded against. Russia and Austria are already close together. The French can never let Austria pass.

It is necessary to make a comprehensive adjustment in our next diplomatic work. It is not that the previous diplomatic strategy was wrong, mainly because the international situation has changed, and many strategies have become outdated.

There is no problem with European balance, but there is a problem with the hypothetical enemy setting.It is indeed effective to suppress who is powerful, but the consequences are also very serious, which directly leads to the deterioration of our relations with major European countries.

Anglo-French relations and British-Russian relations have deteriorated in this context, and now it is the turn of the British-Austrian relations.

The Habsburg dynasty is best at dancing sleeves and has a very high reputation in the European world. It has always had more allies than enemies.

In particular, after Franz succeeded to the throne, the relationship between France and Austria was improved. After the demise of the Ottoman Empire, Austria had no enemy in the European continent.

When playing against such enemies, we must be extra careful, and we must never let them pull up the anti-British alliance."

There is no problem in suppressing competitors, but the means must be paid attention to.The strategy of "one stone, three birds" must first consider whether it will cause anger.

Chancellor of the Exchequer Xiaozhi Childers: "In fact, thinking in another direction, things are not so bad.

Austria has no belligerent Russians and no French can fight. Their strength lies in domestic and foreign affairs.

The North German Empire has been established, and its strength is almost catching up with the previous Pupo Federation.As long as we are alert to the peaceful evolution of Austrian play, the unification of the German region by force is simply unrealistic.

Without reunification in Germany, Austria would not have an absolute advantage over France and Russia.However, Austria is in the middle of France and Russia, which is strategically restricted.

In order to avoid being jointly targeted, before establishing an absolute advantage, the Vienna government can only copy the Vienna system after 1815 and rely on diplomatic means to maintain the balance of all parties.

Continental Europe has stabilized, and even if we are excluded, Britain ’s core interests will not be damaged."

Everything is afraid of comparison. Compared with the two countries of France and Russia, who play with guns and show off their power, the risk of playing diplomatic Austria to become bigger is indeed the smallest.

Facts once again prove that the image is very important. Looking at the reactions of European countries, we know that everyone's vigilance against France and Russia is much higher than that of Austria.

The Vienna government is indeed setting itself up according to its own people. In the European continent, it is based on diplomacy, and force is used overseas.
