Chapter 372: Poor war

In Vienna, Minister of Foreign Affairs Weissenberg analyzed: "Although the Polish independence movement hit the Russians, it also ignited the flames of continental Europe.
Affected by the success of the Polish uprising, in recent times, there have been frequent revolutions in continental Europe, and a new wave of revolution has arrived.
Since January, uprisings have occurred in the two Sicilian kingdoms, the Papal States, Spain, and Portugal, and chaos in Switzerland, France, and Ireland has also occurred to varying degrees.
Most of these revolutionary organizations have recently returned to the European continent from the United States. It is initially judged that this is a hurried jump by the federal government. They have this motivation and strength.
The decisive battle that President Lincoln had high hopes for, because both sides couldn't afford to lose, they both chose to fight steadily, which directly turned this conference war into a war of attrition.
The federal government is worried that countries will continue to divide the United States. In order to divert the efforts of governments, it will choose to create chaos on the European continent at this time.
It is no secret that Americans fund the Revolutionary Party, and their influence on the Revolutionary Party is self-evident. It's just that nothing has happened, and this layer of window paper has not been ripped.
Now that things are happening, it won't be long before European countries will react. By that time, Americans are likely to treat these revolutionary organizations as abandonment in exchange for understanding from various countries.
If everyone's pressure is strong enough, they may be able to make them lose a sum. However, with such a disturbance, I am afraid that the three countries, Britain, France and Spain, will not be able to increase their investment in the United States in the short term.
With the alliance's strength in the Americas at this time, the problem of separation between the north and the south is not a big problem. This is the result of the fight by the southern government.
If you want to split the United States again, you can't. At most, the Indian region allied with the South was independent. However, this does not affect the strength of the federal government. After the split, they are still two middle powers.
In terms of development potential, both the northern government and the southern government have the potential to become powerful nations.
In the Americas, they have no real opponents, and the division only delayed their time as a power. As long as there is enough population, they can develop. "
This American Civil War surprised many Europeans. The American Civil War, which was supposed to be a farce, actually exploded the potential of war that shocked everyone.
If there is no division, the strength of the Americans is almost the same as that of Spain. Dominating a continent is almost invincible.
When everyone was plotting to divide the United States, the unwilling federal government was still desperate, disrupting the deployment of all parties.
Prime Minister Felix added: "Not only is it chaotic in foreign countries, but many people in China can't bear it anymore, and are starting to move.
These people are secretly connected, and it is estimated that it will not be long before they make a big news. In order to wipe out these people in one fell swoop, we did not fight against them.
With the outbreak of the Prussian-Russian War, we were also restrained by most of the European continent's energy. At this time, there were hidden dangers in the country, and we could not increase our investment in the Americas in the short term. "
This is a conspiracy to use as a conspiracy. Even if the countries know that the Americans are doing it, they can't help them now, and don't even worry about accounting after the fall.
There are many contradictions in Spain. Now that the prelude to the revolution has begun, I don't know when it will be quelled.
The Irish independent organization and the Revolutionary Party are making trouble, and the opposition party is hindering themselves. The internal contradictions are enough to keep the London government busy for several years.
Not to mention France, with the style of Napoleon III, I am afraid to take the opportunity to go deeper into southern Italy, France and Austria are likely to erupt.
It's the Russian-Prussian War and the possible conflict between France and Austria, and Franz didn't have the courage to take the risk of looking for Americans at this time.
After everyone slowed down, the American Civil War was long over. If nothing unexpected happened, Lincoln would have long since gone, even if countries want to settle accounts after the fall, it has nothing to do with him.
Fortunately, the army of the northern government has performed poorly and has not been able to implement a strategy to quickly defeat the southern government, otherwise the strength of the countries in the Americas may not be capable of forcing them to compromise.
Franz thought for a while and said, "The Italian issue can be postponed. Both Sicilian kingdoms have not asked for help. Even if the French wanted to intervene, they would not dare to do so at this time.
Napoleon III is not stupid. The joint defense treaties of various countries against them are still there. Now that they continue to expand their forces, the anti-French alliance is not far away.
Now there can be no problems in interfering with the coalition forces. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs can coordinate relations as soon as possible, and cannot wait for the Americans to separate the winners and losers.
At this time, the North and the South had weakened almost, and the split of the United States was the first. Now that the British and our positions are consistent, the London government must not dare to wait any longer. "
The situation in Europe is changing too fast, and interference in coalition forces is likely to change. In this context, it is unwise to think of weakening the United States as much as possible.
It is only necessary for the southern government to win the civil war. The plantation economy has limited potential for development. Unless it can monopolize the world's food supply, it will never become a world power.
Obviously this is impossible. There are too many regions in the world suitable for growing food. American agriculture does have an advantage, but this advantage is not enough to form a monopoly.
No country is a fool and will not give the lifeline to Americans. At least agricultural exporters like Russia and Austria will not buy their food.
Once the northern government wins, the United States in history will reappear. Franz's layout in the Americas has at most delayed the rise of the United States.
Even if there is no war in continental Europe, after the 20th century, Americans will actively challenge the world order.
In terms of European relations, Franz doesn't think everyone can cooperate sincerely. At least on the North American continent, everyone is happy to read British jokes.
Perhaps the second unlucky egg is Austria. Central America is now inconspicuous, and Alaska is not worth it. It will be different in decades.
The benefits of the two add up to the British. But Franz is not sure if the British Olympics will be able to suppress Americans in North America.
After all, the American social system has no full grasp and it is difficult for them to take strategic risks.
I know from history that after the end of the First World War, they had the power to dominate the world. They just endured after World War II.
Domestic contradictions were directly ignored by Franz. The nets are all ready, so wait for the fish to hook. If there is still a problem, it means that his emperor failed.
After this wave, the last obstacle to national integration no longer exists. No matter how powerful nationalism is, it will take time to spread.
Even if there are survivors, after this wave, they dare to do things secretly, that is, the real warrior.
...
St. Petersburg, Alexander II's recent rage has become more and more vigorous, and the altar pots in the royal palace have suffered.
The poor performance of the Russian army on the battlefield disappointed him. Fortunately, due to funding reasons, the early Prussian military reforms were not smooth, and the shrinking version of the reforms was completed before the war broke out.
In general, the two sides fought a lot. This result is enough for the Berlin government, who were originally prepared to drag the Russians.
Backed by Britain and France, there is absolutely no need to risk a decisive battle with the Russians. If a wave of reckless defeats the Russian army, the tsarist custody of the tragic government will die with them.
For the Russian Empire, the loss of hundreds of thousands of troops is the same. The Kingdom of Prussia is different. They ca n’t afford to lose.
The Russian army is not a soft persimmon. As long as the commander does not make a fatal strategic mistake, the exchange ratio on the battlefield will not be too disparate.
The Near East War is an example. The field battle between the British and French allies and the Russians is usually 1.5: 1. On the contrary, it is often 3: 1, 4: 1 when defensive.
If you really go up, you will find it easy to defeat the enemy and difficult to wipe out the enemy. In the era when there were no aircraft tanks and machine guns, after leaving the fortress, it was almost inevitable that infantry on the plains would suffer losses from cavalry.
The current situation is 546,000 Russian troops VS 328,000 Prussian troops + 231,000 Polish insurgents. The two sides fought one and a half pounds, and even the Russians suffered a small loss.
"Who can tell me what battle this is fighting?"
Looking at the angry tsar, everyone lowered their heads in tacit understanding.
I thought that I could easily win this war. As a result, instead of burning the war to the Kingdom of Prussia for more than a month, I was forced to withdraw from Poland.
Secretary of the Army Nicholas Cage explained stubbornly, "His Majesty, the Polish region is full of gangsters. When we are fighting the enemy, we have to allocate a large number of troops to transport strategic supplies.
General Fitz Roy chose to shrink the front because the Warsaw region was not suitable as a battlefield. In order to avoid providing opportunities for the enemy, he decided to put the battlefield in East Prussia. "
Now the guerrillas in Warsaw are everywhere, and the Russians fighting here do not enjoy the advantages of local warfare, but are trapped in the sea of ​​people's war.
From a military perspective, it is no problem to temporarily abandon the Warsaw region and focus directly on East Prussia.
Compared with the Polish insurgents, the Kingdom of Prussia is a confidant. As long as the Prussians are defeated, the Polish insurgents will not exist for long.
Moreover, the Polish Independence Movement was jointly launched by several revolutionary organizations. They can cooperate sincerely in the face of the crisis, and once the Russian threat weakens, they will fall into internal strife.
After the uprising broke out, in order to attract more people to join, the Polish interim government promised to grant land for free and implement labor protection laws.
These provisions severely damaged the interests of the capitalists and nobles, and did not gain their recognition, and the insurgents were divided from the beginning.
Oral promises are just fine. If these conditions are to be fulfilled, the insurgent forces must have internal fighting. No matter which faction wins, the strength of the insurgents will be greatly weakened.
The failure of the proletariat, these conditions cannot be fulfilled, and the morale of the insurgents will immediately dissipate; the nobility and capitalists fail, and the tsarist government will lead the party.
This military correct choice has failed politically. Conservative aristocrats in China kept jumping up and down, adding trouble to Alexander II, and attributed the defeat on the battlefield to reform.
Alexander II was not a fool who was pursuing political victory blindly. He knew very well that temporary gains and losses were nothing. The final outcome of the war was the key.
"Huh! Tell General Fitz Roy that no matter what he pays, I must burn the war into the Kingdom of Prussia as soon as possible.
If a large force cannot break through the enemy's defense line, it will send a small unit to make trouble, and weaken the enemy's war potential as much as possible.
The Prussians have the support of Britain and France. If we want to delay the war, we cannot give them this opportunity. "
The war of the poor can only be resolved quickly. As long as the war is delayed, it will be a failure for the Tsarist government.
Because of this war, Alexander II had to suspend the next reform plan and make every effort to raise funds for this war.
The Russian army's early losses were also largely caused by lack of money. Fighting with the enemy in Warsaw, the material loss during transportation was too great, exceeding the tsarist government's ability to bear.
Fitzroy was under pressure to abandon the Warsaw region because of logistics problems. The government is short of money and the prepared strategic materials are limited. Once it is lost during transportation, the next batch will be difficult to arrive in time.
Implied by various government departments, Fitz Roy had to make this decision. These things were clear to Alexander II, but he knew and knew, but he couldn't stop them.
The funds raised by the Tsarist government are less than half of those raised before the Near East War, and it is very difficult for the war to continue.
