Chapter 355: Foreign affairs bureau

The tsarist government in St. Petersburg, now knowing it, is now responding. No doubt this is someone who wants to engage them.
The Russian Empire, which won the Near East War and captured Constantinople, seemed to have a lot of scenery, but actually brought hatred to its full value.
As a loser, Britain and France are unwilling to fail, and always want to get back with revenge; European countries, who are eating melon, are also worried that Russia will be a big force and threaten their own security.
This has not been promoted intentionally or unintentionally, which has caused the current situation. Every house leaked out of the nail seam, and the Polish independent organization became bigger.
Hermitage
Alexander II growled: "This bastard, when is the time for the great Russian Empire to point their finger!"
Diplomatic interference from various countries has sparked the anger of Her Majesty the Tsar. They have always interfered in the internal affairs of others. When did anyone dare to interfere in their internal affairs?
As for whether the Polish issue is considered as Russia's internal affairs, is this issue worth considering? As long as it is occupied by the Tsarist government, it is Russia ’s territory, and outside acceptance does not matter.
No one dared to provoke the tsar in anger, and everyone watched in tandem as Alexander II vented his anger.
...
"Have the rebel army set off? I will hang this traitor all through!" Alexander II gritted his teeth.
After hearing the inquiries of Alexander II, everyone knew that Her Majesty the Tsar had recovered.
Army Secretary Mattias replied: "The 100,000 peace rebels have already set off from the Baltic Sea, and the day after tomorrow will enter the Polish region to suppress the rebellion."
Polish independents have not been taken to heart. If the Russian Empire was so fragile, it would have been dead.
Alexander II continued to ask, "What did the Austrians say, and did you give a reasonable explanation?"
Foreign Minister Clarence-Ivanov replied, "The Government of Vienna has stated that it is unaware of these issues. They consider this to be the practice of Britain and France and deliberately provoked relations between the two countries.
They provided information on some of the insurgents, many of whom were not permanent residents of Austria, but had entered Austria in recent years, and had a record of serving in the British and French forces. "
There is no doubt that most of this information is fake. In order to get rid of responsibility, the Vienna government does not mind letting Britain and France fall into their own hands, anyway, it is difficult to find out in this era.
This answer is undoubtedly difficult for the tsarist government to accept, but they have to accept it. Among the major powers supporting Austria, Austria is the only one left. You cannot turn your allies into enemies because of this problem.
Alexander II asked angrily: "So what about Prussia, should Britain and France also challenge the relations between the two countries?"
Don't look at him as a pro-Putarian, this position can change at any time in the face of national interests.
Foreign Minister Clarence replied: "No, the Berlin government stated that it was self-initiated by the people and had nothing to do with them.
In order to prevent this from happening in the future, the Berlin government announced the expulsion of these people's nationalities and let us handle them. "
This explanation is even more nonsense than what the Vienna government has said. The Berlin government also has no way. They provide greater support to the Polish independent organization, and they can't cover it up.
Russia-Austria relations have been very good in recent decades. The Vienna government has a thicker skin, and it is enough to put a on the British and French heads, but not Prussia. Relations between the two countries are not good at first, and there is no need to sow.
In addition, Prussia is preparing to attack Denmark, even if the Tsarist government has been repaired now, it is useless.
After pondering for a while, Alexander II connected things together, nothing more than that European countries did not want to see Russia complete the reform and become stronger.
Knowing the truth, Alexander II calmed down.
"Regardless of any reaction from the outside world, the Polish rebellion must be suppressed. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs must work hard. Looking at the European continent has become Russia's enemy. Where are our allies?
It is impossible to rely on Austria for everything. When there is a conflict of interest between the two countries, or the Vienna government feels that this alliance cannot bring them benefits, it will be too late to think of a solution! "
The Russian Empire needs new allies to change diplomatic passiveness.
"Yes, Your Majesty," Foreign Minister Clarence replied with a grin.
This is not that they don't work hard, but now Russia really can't find suitable allies. Geopolitics determined that the countries on the European continent naturally stood in opposition to them.
Unless the Tsarist government abandons its European strategy, it will never expand in Europe. Otherwise, such conflicts are inevitable.
No European country wants to see the Russian empire continue to grow, and a strong Russia threatens everyone's survival.
The deterioration of Pu-Russian relations is not just because of the Danish issue, but also because the Tsarist government wants to expand in Europe. Franz just broke through this layer of window paper.
Feeling that his own security was threatened, the Kingdom of Prussia had to move closer to Britain and France. The growth of the anti-Russian faction was because Russia and Russia divided the Prussian Kingdom's sword of Damocles in the air.
...
The inability to break the European continent provided favorable conditions for the United States and Russia to move closer. In the fall of 1864, the Tsarist government sent a naval fleet to visit the United States Federation.
This is not the best option, but the only option for the Tsarist government and the US federal government. It was normal for two isolated people to choose to hug themselves for heating.
Franz's butterfly effect only dragged the United States and Russia closer for two years.
The Tsarist government tried to use the federal government to divert the energy of European countries and alleviate their diplomatic pressure on the European continent; while the federal government hoped to obtain Russian support to offset some of the pressure brought by the powers.
In late 1864, at the critical moment of the victory of the American Civil War, the Russians stood by the northern government and injected a certain boost into the federal government that moved the capital to New York.
...
The West Coast of the United States is still in the development stage. Even the famous "California" in later generations has just started and is far behind the East Coast states.
After the outbreak of the American Civil War, the main naval forces of the federal government were concentrated on the East Coast. This is not the eccentricity of the Lincoln administration, it is entirely caused by the actual situation.
In this era, the American shipbuilding industry was concentrated on the east coast, and the west coast shipbuilding industry was backward and did not have the ability to build warships.
After the outbreak of the civil war, the federal navy's warships were never adequate. The fighting areas between the north and the south are on the east coast. Because of the intervention of the powers, the federal navy has not been able to gain an advantage, and the federal government is naturally unable to send warships to reinforce the west coast.
Of course, the navy of the southern government did not appear on the west coast. The enemies facing the western coastal states were private fleets, in other words, legal pirates.
After the outbreak of the civil war, both the North and the South issued private looting permits in order to combat each other's maritime transport.
Because there are fewer islands on the west coast of the Pacific and pirates lack supply points, the west coast of the United States is relatively peaceful.
Except occasionally being attacked by occasional pirates, most of the time he stayed away from the threat of war. Until a few months ago, things had changed and there were suddenly more pirates on the West Coast.
The rampant pirates once captured the Channel Islands in California, dozens of miles away, and often attacked coastal ports, making the West Coast states miserable.
Everyone knows that the pirate base camp is in the Mexican Empire. The two countries have long been hostile, and the Mexican government has troubled them at this time.
Stop pirates. Do n’t think about it. The federal government has been fighting hard in the civil war. If you start a foreign war, you wo n’t be able to take it away.
No matter how weak Mexico is, it can't be eaten by a few states on the west coast. Aside from diplomatic protests, the federal government can do very little.
In this context, the Russian Far East Fleet visited San Francisco and killed a pirate ship. The Russian fleet was immediately warmly welcomed by Californians who were threatened by pirates.
Originally for the purpose of pulling relations, Major General Popov, after a few glasses of wine, was touted as he did not know the northeast and southwest, and made a vague promise to fight piracy.
He does not mean that.
It was not just the Americans who attended the banquet. Ministers of various countries in California also appeared at the banquet. Although everyone is suspected of pulling the frame in the civil war, Americans of diplomatic etiquette still have to abide by it.
After the banquet, a British representative appeared at the Austrian Embassy in California.
"Carter, don't you think the Russians are too arrogant? Just these few broken ships, and they need to fight pirates, I think it's almost a fight against pirates!" British representative Rhodes tempted
The Russian Far East Fleet originally did not have a few ships, not to mention only a part of it, and it is not surprising that pirates cannot be won, after all, this is not an ordinary pirate.
If interested people investigate it, they will find that the pirates are from the South and Indian Ocean regions. Appeared on the West Coast, someone must have manipulated it.
The main reason for this is still interest. Pirate robbery also needs to be stolen, and there are naturally interests in it.
Maybe many people think that pirates obtained for nothing is a profiteering industry. In fact, it is really profitable to master the stronghold of selling stolen goods.
For the same product, the price of the most stolen goods has reached the third or fourth floor price. It is never the pirates who earn the greatest benefits, but the behind-the-scenes channels.
It is obviously not that simple to open such a channel in Mexico. Without a bunch of protective umbrellas, it is estimated that they would have been wiped out by the navies of various countries.
No doubt Rhodes was pulled into the water. When the Russians fight piracy, they are cutting his money.
To test Austria's attitude, it is nothing more than worrying that the Austrian fleet of Central America will take the lead on behalf of the Russians. Can't just kill the Russians on the front feet, causing more trouble later.
The Austrian representative Carter cooperated very well and said, "There is no way, maybe the Russians have been so arrogant. Maybe they also want to make a fortune by fighting piracy.
You know, the pirates have looted tens of millions of dollars in recent months. Even if only one-tenth of them are left, that is a huge sum. "
It's almost like saying that money is easy to do. As long as the benefits are in place, it doesn't matter if the entire Russian fleet is annihilated.
It is true that Russia and Austria are allies, but it does not mean that there is no conflict in the interests of Russia and Austria. For example, now: Austria supports the southern government and the Russians support the northern government, and the two sides are on the opposite side.
This happened, and in order to avoid affecting the relationship between the two countries, everyone naturally avoided each other. Carter and the Russian representative never contacted each other except in a courteous greeting.
In fact, this also shows that on the issue of the Americas, Russia cannot get the help of Austria.
The British attacking the Russian fleet was not just that simple. In private, it is because of personal damage; in public affairs, it is to defeat the arrogance of the Russians.
When the visiting fleet was fighting pirates, they were killed by the pirates. Once this happens, the Tsarist government will be ridiculed for at least two decades.
The diplomatic support brought by the Russians to the northern government will also be lost.
