In the Royal Palace of Milan, the Wettersbach family is in the final discussions about whether to give up the Greek throne.
This problem is actually very easy to solve. Unlike Otto I who was ousted from time and space. This time Otto I died naturally. Many high-level Greek government leaders brought Otto I from Bavaria.
With Austrian support, these people still hold the power. The Wittelsbach family's roots in Greece are not damaged, and the heirs sent can stabilize the situation in the shortest possible time.
This is why Franz tends to support the Wittelsbach family. If it is another foreign king, it is difficult to control Greece.
Although Otto I was not a successful king, it was not a waste. Greece lost in the Near East, but the king was the winner.
By the British and French Ottoman knife, Otto I successfully cleared the dissidents. Until now, Greek radical groups have not recovered.
The few aristocrats and capitalists are smart people, even if they shout slogans, whoever believes that they can "rebuild Rome" must be a fool.
After the original space-time was also a series of social beatings, Greece's strategic goals became smaller and smaller, from the original "reconstruction of Rome" to the "great Greece".
Even "Great Greece" is actually not small at all. Calculating the area of the territory is about seven or eight times as much as it is now, and perhaps even larger.
George I proposed "the establishment of a large Greek country with Constantinople as its capital and Athens as its economic center", which was also attacked by Greek patriots.
On the map, the plan is about a third of the Balkan Peninsula, and a quarter of Turkey, including many islands in the Aegean Sea, and Cyprus.
This plan is not too much, and Greece has almost achieved its goal. It's a pity that it's a little bit worse, so it still fails.
It is a tragedy now. The road of expansion has been blocked by Austria. The goal is the same whether it is lowered or lowered. There is no hope of success at all.
The anti-Austrian anti-Austrian Greek group is unwilling to break the dream of a great power. But in the face of cruel reality, their supporters are too few.
In this context, with the support of Austria, as long as domestic capabilities pass, it is not difficult to secure the Greek throne.
...
Warsaw, after receiving a diplomatic response from Austria, the Polish government has not even passed Christmas.
There was no way. The original purpose of their note to Austria was to stir up a war of words and use the patriotic enthusiasm of the people to divert everyone's attention.
The main reason for choosing Austria is that there is no choice. Scolding the Russians is easier, but the scolding has been long and the people are numb.
Except for individual militants who want to expand the territory to Moscow, most Poles have no interest in the land of the Russian Empire, and now they want to restore their homeland.
This part of the territory is in the two countries of Pau. The Kingdom of Prussia is an ally of Poland. The pro-Prussian faction in the government is too powerful, and it must cooperate with Prussia to deal with the Russians. They can only engage in Austria.
The Polish government did not expect such a fierce response from the Vienna government. The Austrian territorial dispute has been going on for many years, and the Vienna government has not resorted to radical measures, which has led many Polish people to the illusion that accidental diplomatic use of words will cause trouble.
Well, they don't know yet that Prussians are behind this radical diplomatic prank. Otherwise, the officials of the Polish Ministry of Foreign Affairs would not have been so "negligent".
After receiving the threat from Austria, the interim Prime Minister Donbrowski of the Polish government immediately convened officials of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for a scold.
It is not so obvious to find death. Diplomatic notes threaten Austria. It is not surprising that the Vienna government did not react violently.
As an international revolutionary fighter, East Brovsky is not an ordinary person. In addition to leading the Polish uprising, he was also one of the leaders of the Paris Commune.
In the face of reality, there is still a need to compromise. In order to be able to keep the regime, East Brovsky transformed into a "King of the Kings".
The vacancy of the Polish throne, in addition to the intervention of international forces, is not an important factor for the "King of the Patriarchs" headed by Donbrowski.
For them, the older the time, the better. When the Polish people are used to having no king, then Poland does not need a king.
The premise is not to cause trouble, or the powers will intervene and the situation will change. In an era when the monarchy is still strong, taking the initiative to challenge is the way to take death.
Foreign Minister Va Vlubrevsky's face was somber: "His Prime Minister, things have been found out. It was a patriotic young man who worked in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs that tampered with the documents.
A testament was also left, explaining the situation. The main reason was dissatisfaction with the government's weakness on the issue of Austria, and then the documents were changed privately when submitting a note to Austria. "
The truth of the matter is no longer important, as long as you think about it, you know that there is a problem. It is possible for patriotic youths to exchange files without permission, but suicide is very nonsense.
Knowing that something was wrong, Va Vlubrevsky could not continue to investigate. Foolishness is the instinct of politicians. If you go deeper, the end result is not something the Polish government can afford.
Whatever the reason, the Vienna government will not give up easily. After a formal diplomatic note, the consequences must be assumed.
East Bluffs board face: "No need to explain to me, the question now is how to let the Austrians stop.
It ’s not just a day or two that the Vienna government wants to interfere in Poland ’s internal affairs. Now you actually send your excuses to your door and tell me what to do afterwards "
The Polish government is still very tragic, politically influenced by European powers, especially by Prussia, and its own autonomy is very limited.
Including social reforms, the Polish government has not been able to promote it according to its own will. There is no need to think about the proletarian revolution, they have not been able to carry it out to the end.
East Brovsky has always wanted to get rid of the influence of various countries on Poland, but could not take the first step. Now that the Polish army is heavily influenced by Prussia, the military wants to gain greater power and has had a fierce collision with the government.
The Polish military has always wanted to embrace William I, and then obtain the equal status of the Junker aristocracy in Prussia.
Since there was no king, the officers who had made great contributions in the war did not become a member of the aristocracy.
These people have become vested interests, want to consolidate their positions, and are very inconsistent with the policies of the East Brovsky government.
If it had not been for the support of Britain and France, the East Brovsky government might have been overthrown. Prussia did not dare to offend England and France, and now borrows Austrian swords.
From the perspective of interests, it is easy to analyze the cause and effect. Knowing and knowing, East Brovsky has no more choices.
Either calm the anger in Austria as soon as possible, or concentrate on fighting against Austria, there is no third way to go.
"We have already contacted the three countries, Britain and France, and they said they would pay close attention.
Britain and France advised us on the Austrians' demands to suppress the anti-Austrian movement in the country and make apologies to calm the storm.
The Prussian government stated that it would not sit idly by when Austria invaded Poland, but they did not give a clear answer. "
In theory, accepting Austrian conditions is not difficult at all. It is nothing more than a loss of face, and it does not need to harm national interests. Most people in power know how to choose.
However, this is only theoretical. If the anti-Olympic movement is suppressed, the Polish government will lose its popular base, not far from the day of its collapse.
Prussia's position is even more of a mystery. With the common enemy of Russia, the two countries are allies. But it is no secret that the Berlin government wants to annex Poland.
The Prussians will not sit by and watch Austria invade Poland, which does not mean that Prussia will send troops to protect Poland. Maybe they will also divide Poland with Austria.
In the face of interests, it is best not to test the integrity of a country, otherwise the results will be very touching.
Chancellor of the Exchequer Badlerevs stood up: "It's not that simple. Don't forget that there are still Russians. Russia-Austria relations have broken down, but they have not collapsed after all.
If the Russians take the opportunity to join in, Russia and Austria will join forces, and even if the three countries, Britain, France and the United Kingdom, support us together, the final result may not be ideal. "
Badlerevsky advocated compromise and lost his face. The public base can be said to be the most important or least important for a government, depending on the specific situation.
Now that the loss of the population base is serious, there is still a chance for recovery. It is better than letting the Austrians come to the door.
The military, which has not always liked to get involved in politics, was silent this time, as if it had become a little transparent, leaving everything to the government.
"Will the Austrians do it? I don't think so."
East Brovsky smiled coldly: "It's easy to defeat us, but is it in Austria's interest?
We must know that after we are overthrown, the next government must be pro-Putarian. The influence of Britain and France in Poland has greatly diminished, and the possibility of William I ascending to the throne of Poland has greatly increased. This is not what the Vienna government wants to see.
The Polish government was so shattered that the Austrians couldn't even pay back military expenses. The Russian-Austrian League has not been disbanded. Even if they can seize a piece of land from Poland, should they morally return to Russia?
I'm busy doing all the wedding gowns for others. I don't think the Vienna government will see it.
From the beginning to the end, we did not substantially damage Austria's interests, and it was just a face that was involved. In terms of interest, Austrians are more likely to bluff.
We are the people's government, and we cannot do anything to suppress the patriotic movement. However, the government can still apologize to the Austrians and give them a step down.
Presumably, the Vienna government will not make a big deal, because we are reducing the tariffs on industry and commerce in the two countries and giving up some benefits. "
This is a big bet. Will the Polish National Games bet on Austria? Baderevsky kept talking and everyone wanted fame, and the reputation damage caused by the suppression of the patriotism was too great.
The Polish government has too little control over the army. In addition to British and French support, popular support is also very important. If the hearts of the people are lost, they are very unlikely to keep the regime.
