Chapter 211: The time is right

On March 16, 1853, Prime Minister Felix arrived in Munich. After a week of negotiations, he ended in failure.
The Bavarian government clearly opposed the reconstruction of the Shinra Empire, and Felix's diplomatic efforts failed.
Under pressure from public opinion, the Bavarian government proposed to reopen the federal parliament on March 27 to decide whether to rebuild the Holy Roman Empire.
On March 28, Prime Minister Felix also spoke at the University of Munich, publicly responding to the Bavarian government.
"I have a dream that in my lifetime I can see the reunification of the German region. It is the real German national unity, not the nominally listed German Federation. The Federation is a joke.
Today is a bad day, the Bavarian government closed the door to the reconstruction of the Holy Roman Empire, and all our efforts failed.
It seems my dream still has a long way to go. If I don't see it, I hope you can continue to do so. As the elite in the German region, this is your responsibility and obligation.
We all know that rebuilding Shinra is the best option for reunification in Germany. This is the only way to achieve national unification in a short time.
Many German states have been divided for a long time and have formed their own systems. This determines that it will be difficult to achieve real reunification, which cannot be accomplished overnight.
Let the federal parliament vote? In fact, we all know that this is not a small number of activities that obey the majority, nor is it a game for children to play house.
The reconstruction of Shen Luo must have the support of all the nations. If anyone does not agree, we will barely merge an empire, and it will eventually break down due to the contradictions.
Everyone knows the consequences of coercion. Switzerland is independent, Belgium is independent, the Netherlands is independent, and Luxembourg is also independent. This is their own choice. For historical reasons, we do not need to study today.
Now if we do not do well, a new wave of independence will emerge again. Do not doubt that there are already international forces planning to split Germany, and even they are colluding with forces within Germany.
Therefore, I had to be cautious, for fear of making a mistake and becoming a German sinner.
A unified German empire must be an empire that everyone agrees on. If this is not possible, then this is only a federation, not an empire.
I know that many people oppose the reconstruction of Shenluo because they feel that the empire is too loose, the local government has too much power, and the central government has too little power. Such a system does not meet everyone's appetite.
However, one thing you should pay attention to is that if you want to get the approval of all the people, you must not bleed, at least not too much blood.
If because of the unification of the civil war, everyone's blood will flow into a river, can they still sit together peacefully after the war?
The answer is no. Under the guidance of a caring person, this hatred will soon take root and sprout, and eventually it will split.
... "
Felix entered the state and started the mouth gun mode.
The officials of the Bavarian government below were already angry, but they were not easy to attack. Diplomatic etiquette was still needed. Although Felix was blasting, he did not call the Bavarian government by name.
If they stand up to stop the speech, isn't that a sign of guilty conscience?
Moreover, the emotions of the students have been mobilized. At this time to stimulate it, God knows whether there will be a second-year teenager calling for revolution.
This is not without precedent. More than 90% of the revolutions in Europe were screamed casually by the middle and second youths, and then started blindly.
For example, the February Revolution in France, the March Revolution in Vienna, the March Revolution in Berlin, and so on. These revolutions were not well-organized in advance. When they screamed on the blood, everyone followed the story blindly.
Since the Bavarian government's decision, they have stepped up their vigilance and guarded against secondary school children's disorder.
For example, there are now more than three-digit police officers at the University of Munich. Its beautiful name is to protect the safety of Prime Minister Felix. In fact, this is also monitoring the people he contacts.
You must know that Prime Minister Felix is ​​now the most unstable factor in the Kingdom of Bavaria and his status is too high. The Bavarian government can only expect him to get out soon.
The government hates him and the people welcome him, and most Bavarians respect the pacifist Austrian Prime Minister.
About an hour later, Felix stopped speaking and entered the interactive communication session.
A young student said excitedly, "Dear Prime Minister Felix, how can I guarantee that the Holy Roman Empire can treat every state fairly?"
This kind of question, Felix has answered many times along the way, he repeated again:
"The problem is very simple. It depends on the system and a fair system. I don't believe in the so-called rule of man, because people are selfish, and they are inherently inclined to solve problems.
This system will be jointly developed by all the states, and will be publicized throughout the country, and everyone will judge whether it is fair. "
The nonsense mode was turned on, applause rang out from the court, and officials accompanying the Bavarian government closed their eyes, seemingly to be invisible.
Another young student asked inquisitively: "Sir Prime Minister, does this perfect system exist?"
Felix replied without hesitation: "It doesn't exist!"
Ignoring the uproar at the scene, he continued: "There is no perfect system in the world. The system that looks beautiful today may be outdated by tomorrow. What we can do is to constantly update the system to make it more suitable for us. .
From the origin of human society, the earliest tribal civilizations, the matriarchal clan, then the patrilineal system, and then entered the era of slavery. The earliest nations appeared ...
This series of social changes are all self-repairing and improving the social system. In our opinion today, the current system is more advanced than in the past.
But in fact, if our ancestors adopted the current advanced formulation, the German nation has become history, even in history books.
Is this a system issue? Obviously not!
Social productivity determines the production system, so don't let others blame the decay and backwardness of the social system in the past, at least at the time, those systems were in line with needs. "
Deviation, there is no way everyone's thinking is too active, the problem is too ridiculous, Felix had to lead away, to control the rhythm as much as possible.
...
"Prime Minister, after the establishment of the Holy Roman Empire, Austria will become the new central government. Is this unfair to other states?"
The questioning of a young student brought the subject back again.
"You are wrong. The central government is jointly formed by the states. If Austria serves as the central government, who can this central government command?
As for fairness, I think it can only be guaranteed by a notarized constitution. The powers of speech of big states and small states are definitely not the same. If they have to be the same, they are actually unfair to the big states.
True fairness is treated equally, not privileged. My ideal Holy Roman Empire is a world without privileges.
You can get as much as you contribute to this country. This return can be money or social status.
In other words, it is to open the door to high society, although this door may only open a small gap. Prime Minister Felix continued to flicker.
True, false, and true, instead, made his speech more convincing.
Publicly revealed the cruelty of the society, and no state has any privileges, but the gap in individual social status still exists.
This mode of speech was the result of painstaking research by the Austrian government staff. It is necessary to be able to mobilize the emotions of the people without letting it get out of control.
This degree is not easy to grasp. In the event of fanatical nationalism, Austria will not be able to eat.
...
Because the Bavarian government was too vigilant, in addition to giving a few speeches, Prime Minister Felix was on his way home.
There is no doubt that this diplomatic operation has failed. Except for a few German states that have expressed support for the reconstruction of Shinra, most of the rest are implicitly opposed.
Especially after the Bavarian government publicly expressed its opposition, the German region set off a wave of attacks on the Holy Roman Empire.
Of course, governments of all countries have not turned black history. Local governments ’confrontation with the central government is also a taint to them. It is an absolute political error and cannot be brought up.
Vienna
After hearing from Felix, Franz found that the situation in the German region was more complicated than he thought.
Most of the German people have a head in their heads. Once they have identified the things, it is difficult to pull them back.
This means that they must be convinced. If they cannot get their approval, the unification of Germany can be said to be dreaming.
One operation is not good, and it is likely to end up as Felix's speech-the wave of independence broke out.
"Her Majesty, nationalism in the German region is developing very fast. If national emotions are being provoked now, we still hope to achieve unity by political means." Prime Minister Felix proposed
Perhaps it is too deep into the play, now Felix is ​​really considering the issue of unifying Germany by political means.
Franz shook his head and said: "This is impossible to succeed. If we really get the Holy Roman Empire out, Britain, France and Russia may soon be on a truce and turn around and look for our mischief."
With the unification of the German region, the European hegemony of the Russians disappeared, the French continental hegemony dream was broken, and the British's continental balance policy was bankrupt.
This is a conflict of core interests, which is related to their future development and survival. In order to avoid this situation, they will definitely take action, in case.
Even if Britain, France, and Russia are now unable to engage in diplomatic relations in the Near East, in fact, the secret contacts between the three governments have never been broken.
Franz is sure that Britain and France no longer want to fight. If not, they will be forced to ride a tiger and they will most likely compromise with the Russians.
Now they want to compromise, provided that the Russians make concessions, otherwise the country cannot explain.
Does the Tsarist government want to continue fighting? the answer is negative. The cruelty of the war has awakened many people, and they are equally vulnerable.
Concessions are simple, but difficult to do! Once the tsarist government makes compromises, internal contradictions will break out, and Nicholas I naturally wants to fight a beautiful battle.
Now Constantinople is in sight. As long as he wins the fortress city, all the crisis of the Tsarist government will be resolved, and he will become the greatest Tsarist in Russian history.
As for other benefits, the Black Sea Fleet is dead. Even if they enter the Mediterranean Sea, they cannot rely on swimming?
Annexation of the Ottoman Empire? Fighting also requires money. The Russians have this military strength, but they do not have the matching financial resources.
They can even interfere in the German region while fighting. With the Kingdom of Prussia, as long as Britain, France and Russia roared a few throats, the Holy Roman Empire was dissolved again.
Pointed out by Franz, Felix was awake immediately. The Shinra Empire is still far from the real empire. Without external threats, problems can be solved slowly. The problem now is collusion.
...
Metternich said, "Your Majesty, the time is now ripe for the next step."
Franz nodded, indicating the default.
Austria has not been strong enough to start a fight without a word. If there is no reason that can be accepted by everyone, then it will be cheaper for the Prussians.
Just political disagreement does not constitute a cause of war. Now it is necessary to add a fire to give the Bavarian government a final historical characterization.
