Chapter 417: Extended war

The industrial revolution has not affected the world situation, and the use of electricity has just begun. In the eyes of many people at that time, the main function was lighting.
High-power generators have just appeared, and the use of electricity in industry has not yet started. Affected by the Franz Butterfly effect, the industrial revolution began in Austria.
The protagonist of the original time and space is now dim. Prussia, which established the German Empire, was still dying with the Russians. The American Empire, which was coerced into coaxing, was licking the wounds of the civil war.
After the split, the internal market was no longer able to support an industrial revolution. The heavy casualties of the war, the high pensions that accompany it, and the internal conflicts between the states have all restricted the development of the Federation.
In the past, the economic prosperity of the United States after the civil war is no longer visible. The powers were not volunteers, and the four countries' joint intervention also benefited.
After the war, the British, French and Austrian goods flooded the entire American continent, which was the reward for everyone in this war.
Spain was left behind during the Industrial Revolution because of internal conflicts, and they did not enjoy this benefit.
...
Moscow, the second largest city in Russia, has experienced a period of rapid development since Alexander II abolished serfdom.
As the second largest industrial area of ​​the Russian Empire, the number of workers in Moscow has exceeded the 500,000 mark, the total population of the city exceeds one million, and the fourth largest city in Europe.
There are naturally many people and social contradictions, which provides the revolutionary party with room for development. The reform of the Tsarist government was only halfway through and there was no time to establish a complete system.
Although the newly-emerging bourgeoisie has benefited from reforms, they also want greater rights. Waiting for Alexander II to continue reforms? Unfortunately, they can't wait.
Moreover, the reforms of Alexander II protected their interests, but did not allow them to enter the center of rights.
To put pressure on the government, these people joined the Revolutionary Party without hesitation. Of course, this is only confined to providing support in secret, and they are afraid to rebel.
With the British connected, the leader of the Revolutionary Party, Mattel Torski, returned. This time they will launch an uprising in Moscow, not choosing St Petersburg, because the Tsar has soldiers.
Once Alexander II's army changed defenses, the domestic forces were calmed down. Russia is not France, and the military and civilian fish are not so strong.
In this case, it is natural to choose a place with weak strength and sufficient influence. Moscow is the best choice. This position is very good. Once the uprising is successful, Russia can divide the east and west.
Mattel-Torski is in a heavy mood. Don't look at their supporters now. In fact, the chance of success of the uprising is still very low.
In the past two years, revolutionaries have launched five or six uprisings, all of which have ended in failure. The best record was to occupy a small city and be suppressed by the Tsar's army.
There are many people who need them now, British, French, Prussian, Swedish ...
In addition to international support groups, there are also domestic revolutionary groups, groups of parties who are dissatisfied with the reform, including: radical reformers and conservatives with damaged interests, and farmers who have not obtained land ...
These people want them to launch an uprising, but they don't want them to overthrow the Tsarist government. The so-called support is limited to letting them trouble the Tsarist government.
Mattel Tolsky asked with interest: "Auguste, did you get your weapon?"
Auguster replied happily, "Mr. Rest assured, I have already got it. I also inspected it personally. All 180 rifles are imported from Austria."
Mattel-Torski nodded. Russians have been accustomed to using Austrian equipment since the Eastern War.
This uprising uses Austrian imported weapons. In addition to being easy to use, it also has the meaning of planting stolen goods.
This is the way English people are used to. If you succeed, you can make a lot of money. Their contradiction with the Russians has a long history, and now they are in debt.
As an executor, Mattel-Torski naturally has no opinion. Although he is not anti-Austrian, or even a supporter of the Russian-Olympic League, it does not prevent him from accepting British aid.
Compared with before, now the London government has begun to pay attention to eating, without open flames to support them, but passed through the Kingdom of Prussia.
This is not a change of the British, but mainly a change of identity. Prior to this, the British and Russian powers dominated the world, and both sides naturally did everything they could.
Now that the Russian Empire has temporarily withdrawn from the struggle for world supremacy, the successful British must converge and maintain a good international reputation.
The world hegemons cannot rely solely on force, and they still need to use diplomatic means to solve the problem. The London government will naturally hide this period.
...
Undercurrents surged in the Russian Empire, and the British proposed peace talks began in London.
The negotiations were very unsuccessful. The Russian representative asked the British to lift the blockade on the Baltic Sea, but was rejected, and the negotiations reached an impasse.
The negotiations did not affect the battlefield, and the war continued. Under the command of Mauch, the Prussian army fought and retreated, and the Polish insurgents were thrown as cannon fodder to the Russians.
Successive victories have boosted the morale of the Russian army, and this war seems to be over.
Looking at the military map, Franz sighed. The Russian army, which seems to have the upper hand, is actually dangerous.
While shrinking the line of defense, the number of troops in the Kingdom of Prussia is also being concentrated. The Russian army continues to advance, and its forces are inevitably dispersed.
The battlefield has been transferred from Belarus to Poland, and the Russians' domestic combat advantage no longer exists.
Although Poland is still their homeland, the Poles are on their opposite side, which is no different from going deep into the enemy country.
Foreign Minister Weisenberg reported: "Your Majesty, I have just received news that the Far East War broke out two months ago and the Russians added another front."
Franz was startled, and then returned to normal. The time is ahead, but this is normal.
On the one hand, it is the diplomatic means of the British, on the other hand, the Russians are now in the weakest state.
Compared to Europe and Central Asia, the Far East is least important to the Russians, and it is also the weakest place.
At present, two battlefields in Europe and Central Asia have restrained a large number of Russian troops. Even if the Tsarist government wants to reinforce the Far East, it is still weak and incapable.
This is not that Alexander II has no soldiers, nor is it that he has no money in his hands. The key point is that Central Asia has already fallen into the battlefield. To reinforce the Far East, we must pass the Siberian bypass and send troops from Europe. It will take about a year.
And the number of troops can't be too large, otherwise they can't solve it. These restrictions can almost directly declare that the Russian failure in the Far East became a foregone conclusion.
Franz didn't continue the topic and asked, "Are the Ottoman hands on?"
In order to allow the Ottoman Empire to participate in the war, Britain, France and Austria were putting pressure on them. The Sudanese government is afraid of the Russians, as well as the three hooligans watching the war.
The British and French navy often haunted the Ottoman ports, and the excuse was naturally to make them pay back. Austria is also sharpening the Hoo Hoo on the Sinai Peninsula, which means a lot to restore the Holy Land.
Of course, on the bright side, the Vienna government never asked the Ottoman Empire to declare war on Russia, but only conducted military exercises.
After this non-exercise, did you withdraw from the Sinai Peninsula? A regiment of troops was left on the peninsula, which proved that Austria did not intend to provoke war.
The Sudanese government doesn't know what it thinks. Anyway, Britain and France issued an ultimatum. Either fight the Russians, or fight with Britain, France, and Austria.
The threats are mostly there, but the Sudanese government dares not take risks. The Ottoman Empire's debt to Britain and France could not be paid off, and Austria was jealous of Jerusalem.
Everyone keeps the Ottoman Empire, which is to let them contain the Russians. If this is not possible, the value of their existence will not exist.
Do not look at the Russians often rely on their accounts, that is the confidence of them. Except for this one exception, who is better off for the rest of the countries that dare to rely on their accounts?
For example: Mexico, the last government was finished because of laziness. In order to collect debts, French personnel sent troops to Mexico and supported Massimilino I's succession.
Mexico, as far away as the Americas, failed to escape, let alone the Ottoman Empire, not to mention, force collection of debts is the instinct of the powers of this era.
Foreign Minister Weissenberg replied, "With the support of Britain and France, the Sudanese government has issued a national mobilization order.
Currently, the Ottoman Empire has assembled 300,000 troops, but they are not planning to attack the Caucasus, but they want to attack Constantinople. "
Li Zhizhi faint!
Franz's mind popped out of this idiom.
If it is an attack on the Caucasus, then it may still be a bit cheaper. Even if the Russians are going to take revenge in the future, they will still have the opportunity to hold on to their geographical advantage.
Constantinople is different. The political interests are too big. The Tsarist government would rather lose Poland than give up here.
Once occupied, Alexander II can only choose to die to the end. Don't look at the Russians' exhaustion and internal contradictions, but things will change when defending Constantinople.
Franz sneered: "Since the Sudanese government wants to find death, let them go! Just check the results of their reforms. If they fail, the Ottoman Empire should be dead."
The Habsburgs and the Ottoman Empire were also vengeful, and Franz naturally inherited the fine traditions of his ancestors and pulled out this hidden danger.
