Chapter 253: New vienna system

The Vienna Conference opened, and delegations from various countries were coordinating and showing their magical powers.
Russia and France attempted to divide up the rest of the Balkan Peninsula, and the John Cow who was left aside was naturally reconciled, pulling the Ottoman Empire to pose a war-to-war posture.
The British threatened the Russians without fear. Anyway, they have control of Constantinople and can block the Bosphorus. Once the two sides turn over, the British Navy fleet in the Black Sea will be closed and beaten.
The bear bears hostage hostage is full of confidence. As a land power country, the British are offended. The bears with huge land can go out without a hit.
The French government hesitated first. This was not because Napoleon III was afraid of fighting the British. In fact, it was for this matter that there would be no war between the two sides.
If it does, the French navy will not be without power. Maybe they can't win the Royal Navy, but it can still hurt the Royal Navy's vitality.
This kind of high-risk gambling is impossible for the London government to risk. It is too easy to explode the navy in the era of sailing warships. There will be no winners in the battle between the two great powers.
It is mainly in terms of benefits. Anyone who is a neighbor with a fur bear will dread three points. Napoleon III wants to gain benefits, but not to take risks.
France alone swallows up Macedonia, Albania, Thrace, Epirus and other regions, which seem to be profitable. In fact, after this war, the economy of the Balkan Peninsula has long since collapsed.
War destruction, refugee flows, and plagues all add up to this. The population on the Balkans is directly reduced by one-third, and young labor is even rarer.
What was once a fat mass of the Balkans is now degreased. To restore social order, it is necessary to invest a lot of resources.
In simple terms, this income is not enough to make the French risk. If not for political needs, Napoleon III would have no interest in the territories on the Balkans.
"You guys, it's not a way to go so noisy, it's better to divide the sphere of influence and discuss it later!" Metternich suggested
After speaking, first mark the Austrian control area on the map with a pen, and then hand the map to the Russian representative Karl Vossel.
There is nothing to hesitate. Karl-Worthell has circled his expectations on the map. Russia and Austria have agreed that the sphere of influence of the two sides did not occur.
The French also followed closely, drawing out their sphere of influence, and when it was the British's turn, Thomas was dumbfounded.
Dude, the three countries faced the map, and the Balkans were divided up. Even if the island had a leak, it was in the hands of the Ottoman Empire, and the British could not do so by bullying their allies.
With a clever idea, Thomas felt that there was something to do, and he couldn't make the enemy do it so easily.
As for the ally of the Ottoman Empire, it is a pity that it can only be sacrificed. It is only the will of the entire European people, including the British people, that Thomas cannot rise against the current.
"Three people, the people on the Balkans have been enslaved by the Ottoman Empire for so many years, and now they are back in the embrace of the civilized world. We should help them to establish their country independently. How can we continue to enslave them?
If this inhuman thing happens, how will countries around the world think about us? How does the international community feel? "
Metternich rolled his eyes, and the four of them could represent the international community. If only one country has made a pass, it may still be condemned by European countries. The four companies will keep it together and let everyone shut up.
In this era, the world can't find an existence that dares to be the enemy of Britain, France, Russia, and Austria at the same time. Even if the remaining countries are tied together, they are not opponents of the four.
"Mr. Thomas is more concerned. How can we enslave the people on the Balkans?
You know that the people of the Balkans have been under the rule of the Ottoman Empire for a long time, and many people have been poisoned by the barbaric world. We are helping them to return to the civilized world.
According to the information we have collected, the cultural heritage on the Balkan Peninsula has been severely damaged. Now the people on the island are not the accomplices of the Ottoman Empire to suppress the people.
Either a group of illiterates, or a traitor in the civilized world, isn't it a joke to let them establish their country independently?
It is still our country to supervise and guide the local people back into the civilized world, and it is the best choice to prevent the tragedy from continuing. "
The Black Ottoman Empire is also politically correct. Even the barbaric endorsements of the Ottoman Empire over the centuries have been deeply embedded in the hearts of every European.
Of course, the notoriety of the Ottoman Empire is also worthy of the name. In history, they really did a lot of angry things. Metternich could find a lot of evidence to prove their barbarity.
These things are not revealed, then there is nothing. Once they are taken out, whether it happened a hundred years ago or two hundred years ago is a proof of sin.
In any case, it is not white. Experts in this era have not lost their morale, and they cannot do anything to help the Ottoman Empire wash the ground.
As a politician, Thomas was even more afraid to defend the Ottomans on this issue, otherwise the British would not spare him.
Today, people with cultural and knowledge heritage in the Balkans are basically attached to the Ottoman Empire. Even if they were not traitors, their ancestors were also traitors.
From this perspective, the division of these people into the Ottoman Empire is barely justified.
Thomas did not entangle here, he directly proposed: "Mr. Metternich is right, since that is the case, how about the international co-management of the Balkans, and let us help them return to the civilized world.
When they are pulled back to the civilized world, they are looking for a suitable time to allow the people on the Balkan Peninsula to establish their own country and do their part for the civilized world. "
After hearing Thomas's proposal, the French representative Auvergne was obviously a little moved, but the Russians reacted more fiercely.
Carl Worthell slaps his hands on the table and says angrily: "This is impossible! The people of the Balkan Peninsula are suffering from the Ottoman tea poison. We must be supervised by us to return to the civilized world."
Looking at the furious Karl Worthell, Metternich rubbed his forehead. It is clear that the military minister's foreign minister has not adapted to the role of a diplomat, and he is in a position of disagreement.
I was stunned in the negotiations, and this kind of thing looks like the Russians really did it.
In order to prevent the negotiations from deteriorating, Metternich had to open his siege and immediately questioned Thomas: "The Balkans have many nations, and there has not been a unified state since the Byzantine Empire. Does Mr. Thomas, do you want to rebuild the Byzantine Empire? "
What international joke is it about rebuilding the Byzantine Empire? The nationalists in Greece shouted slogans silly. Who can tolerate the reconstruction of the Byzantine Empire?
When questioned, Thomas explained without change: "Mr. Metternich has misunderstood that allowing the people of the Balkans to establish an independent country is only to help the local people return to the civilized world.
The Byzantine Empire has long since perished. How can we think about rebuilding? "
Metternich sneered and said, "There is no best, or the world will not be peaceful again. I don't think it is necessary to discuss the issue of the independence of the people of the Balkans.
The people of Serbia, Wallachia, Moldavia, Bosnia and Herzegovina have already joined Austrian citizenship, they are all people who have the motherland! "
Inspired Russian Foreign Minister Karl Vosel said immediately: "We have already granted citizenship to people in Bulgaria and Constantinople, so we don't worry about Mr. Thomas."
Regardless of the nationality or not, this excuse is used by Carl Worsell first, and it's a big deal.
Anyway, no matter how Thomas uses his means, it is impossible for the Austrians and Russians to come out and establish the country independently, which means that both sides have to tear their faces.
Continue to work on the French territory? This idea flashed away, Thomas didn't want Russia and France to hold the group, and when this combination appeared, they would pull the world as an ally and couldn't resist it.
Should you divide up a piece of land in the Balkans? After looking at the map, Thomas decided not to border these land-owning countries.
Auvergne, who has been paddling, suddenly changed the subject: "The most important thing in the Balkans is the Black Sea Fleet. Most of the international disputes are based around this.
For the sake of world peace and stability, I propose to co-manage the Dardanelles and Bosporus, and all coastal port cities will become free ports. Countries should not deploy any weapons.
No matter at any time, governments of all countries guarantee the free navigation of the strait, no restrictions can be set, and no navigation tax can be collected. "
After thinking about it, everyone agreed, but Carl Worsell had some pain, but considering the actual situation, even if they wanted to collect the navigation fee, they still could not receive it, he agreed.
They can collect taxes in the Bosphorus, British and French can collect taxes at the gates of the Dardanelles, and when the merchant ships dare not pass, this golden waterway will be abolished.
Solving the problem of the navigation channel, Thomas was too lazy to continue to entangle the issue of the Balkans. Russia, France and Austria share the Balkans. Isn't it a balance?
Once the Russians broke out of the Black Sea, the French would bear the brunt, and Austria could not tolerate the Russians' continued expansion.
In the Near East War, although they did not obtain practical benefits, they were strategically successful, using the new international order to block the Russians in the Black Sea.
After solving the problems of the Near East War, the four countries of Britain, France, Russia, and Austria signed the "Four Nations Convention", which redefined the sphere of influence of each country in the form of a treaty.
After the signing of the treaty, the four governments jointly issued a statement: The four will jointly maintain peace and stability in the European continent and crack down on any behavior that violates the rules.
With the conclusion of the Vienna Peace Conference, a new international order has been established again. Except for the free navigation of the Black Sea Strait, all countries have their own areas of interest as their areas of control.
The Ottoman Empire became the biggest loser. Because it did not have the strength to maintain rule on the Balkans, it had to sell Macedonia, Thrace, Albania, and the Gallipoli region to the French for 200 million francs. .
The French and the Ottoman Empire were allies who had to pay attention to food and had to pay for it. Austria and Russia are welcome, as Ottoman's old enemy, naturally swallowed up the territory they occupied.
The Principality of Montenegro estimates that it is not clear whether it was a loss or a profit this time. Although the British were eventually driven back to their hometown, with the support of Russia and Austria, their territory doubled and they successfully won the estuary.
To double the territory, in fact, it will be more than 10,000 square kilometers, and there is no future Montenegro University. No way, who keeps them small?
For this additional 5,000 square kilometers, the country ’s youth in the Principality of Montenegro lost half of its original population, and the total native population dropped by 23%. After the newly occupied land, the country ’s population has only exceeded 200,000.
The biggest winner in the Russian Empire, the Russian Empire, was silently licking the wound at this time. Despite getting Constantinople, it was just a superficial sight.
Both Bulgaria and Constantinople were devastated by war, and the local economy collapsed directly.
In particular, the city of Constantinople was directly turned into ruins, and more than two-thirds of the buildings in the city were damaged to varying degrees.
Of course, it may also be a good thing, just to demolish and rebuild, remove the traces left by the Ottoman Empire, and shape the glory of the Russian Empire. This should be the case if financial considerations are not taken into account.
Take a look at the casualties, then the Russians ca n’t laugh. The Balkans paid the price of 600,000 people. In addition to the Crimean battlefield and the Caucasus battlefield, the total number of Russians killed and injured approached 900,000.
If it were not for Constantinople and the political gains wiped it all out, Nicholas I really did not know how to end.
Similarly, the British and French who participated in the battle did not find cheap. The French army killed 210,000 people and injured 45,000 people. The British army killed 78,000 people and injured 11,000 people.
This data is added to the damage caused by the plague and disease, otherwise this data can be reduced by one third. In any case, non-combat losses did not exceed combat losses.
As for the Ottoman Empire, their loss is a mystery. The Sudanese government itself does not know how to count. Anyway, the million troops they formed before and after it were destroyed.
The Balkans have all been lost, and many soldiers have been arrested and grown up. When they break up, they really disperse. Do not expect these people to return to the team.
When the jar is broken, the Sudanese government will certainly not care. Lost the capital and lost the core area of ​​the rule.
