Chapter 360: Lonely

The Putin War led to the collapse of the Vienna system, which was not harmonious to many small European countries. Without the protection of this system, everyone will return to the era of precariousness.
As a rule breaker, Prussia naturally pulls hatred. The most direct consequence is that during the Putin war, all countries stood by the Danes.
Of course, this does not prevent everyone from supporting the Prussians in the Prussian confrontation. International politics has always supported what is good for itself, and opposed to affecting its own interests.
St. Petersburg, the whole world is waiting for the action of the Tsarist government.
If it was the age of Nicholas I, then there is no word to say-type. It is not difficult for the Russian Empire to defeat Prussia with strong strength.
It is difficult to say how much it will cost. At least one thing is certain, as long as the Tsarist government does not die, the Kingdom of Prussia cannot counterattack.
Just look at the map to know how big the Russian Empire is. Prussia has no possibility of directly attacking the Yellow Dragon. Once it starts, it is a war of attrition.
The Russians are least afraid of attrition, and at the same time they are most afraid of attrition. Apart from having no money, the Tsarist government is not short of anything.
Alexander II hesitated. He didn't want to fight the war now. There is no money in the pocket to speak with confidence. Prussia was easy to deal with, but the English and French later were very difficult.
Foreign Minister Clarence-Ivanov analyzed: "His Majesty, the positions of European countries have become clear. Countries have condemned Prussia's illegal behavior, but no country has taken substantial action.
It can be initially judged that Britain and France have exerted pressure on countries to keep them neutral in the Putin war, the purpose is to hit us.
If the Kingdom of Denmark cannot be maintained, our international reputation will inevitably be damaged, and even our current international status will be lost.
The Prussians are very determined and have rejected our advice. If you want to keep the Kingdom of Denmark, diplomatic means are not enough. You can only rely on force. "
"Austrians didn't move, did they just let the Vienna system fall?" Alexander II asked with concern.
"As early as last year when the Kingdom of Denmark merged with the two principalities of Schleswig-Holstein, Austria broke off relations with the Kingdom of Denmark.
Now that relations between the two countries have not been normalized, the chances of the Vienna government supporting the Kingdom of Denmark are almost zero. Foreign Minister Clarence-Ivanov replied
Obviously, this is not the answer that Alexander II wanted. The break of diplomatic relations between the two countries is not a conflict of interest between the two countries. In fact, it is more a political need.
The Vienna government deliberately made a gesture for the people in the German region to show that their determination to unify the German region has never weakened.
Political correctness works for every government. Now that Prussia breaks the Vienna system and wages war on the Danes, Austria makes sense without action.
In any case, Prussia is a German state, but Denmark is not. Helping relatives or arguing is a very obvious problem. The neutrality of the Vienna government is that it has a bad relationship with Prussian relatives.
After a long silence, Alexander II continued to ask, "If we go to war with the Kingdom of Prussia, which side will Austria stand on?"
This is the core issue. Prussia has obtained the support of Britain and France, and most European countries want to see Russia fail. Without Austria's support, this war would not have been possible.
Foreign Minister Clarence-Ivanov explained: "It is not completely certain yet. From the information gathered so far, the Vienna government is more likely to support us.
They wanted to unify the German region, and the Prussian kingdom was the biggest obstacle, and a strong Prussian was not in their interest.
Even if the Prussian kingdom was willing to join the Shinra Empire, the Vienna government did not want to see a powerful state appear, weakening their control of the empire. "
After a moment of hesitation, Alexander II made the decision: "Tell the Vienna government that as long as we win this war, the Silesian region is theirs.
Except for not allowing them to unify the German region, other conditions can be considered by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on their own. We cannot do without their support in this war. "
Hit, you have to hit. The status of the Russian Empire was shot with one shot at a time. How could a tsar who did not dare to fight lead Russia?
It is not enough to destroy the Kingdom of Prussia, that will give Austria the opportunity to unify the German region, but it is necessary to teach this little boy who jumped back.
Alexander II had already figured out that hiding was inescapable. European countries want to interrupt Russia's reforms, even if they have escaped this time and the next time.
Once the Russian Empire shows signs of weakness, a wolf-eater situation will emerge. Austria, now the strongest ally, may also become a vanguard of dividing Russia.
It is the best option to destroy the first Prussian Levi, or the Russian Empire will have to cut meat.
...
The Royal Palace of Mexico. Since the throne of the emperor, Massimilino I has exploded with twelve points of enthusiasm, striving to build Mexico into a great empire.
He works diligently, loves the people, and works hard for governance. He does not lean towards any interest group and strives to be as fair as possible. They even pardoned the Republicans and let go of their political enemies.
Then, over time, he reluctantly found that the domestic situation had not improved as a result, but had worsened.
The pardons have been pardoned without easing domestic political struggles. These people immediately ran out and pulled the team, making his emperor's counterattack.
The emperor worked diligently and loved the people, and the bureaucrats below acted indiscriminately, and the result was of no use.
The most deadly is the notarization and fairness, which supported his superior constitutionalists, and did not occupy a dominant position in the new government. Massimiliano I shared his rights with the neutrals and the opposition, causing their dissatisfaction.
Many members of the constitutionalists are desperate for the emperor, believing that their investment has been overwhelmed, and they have chosen to withdraw their capital. It should not be a sideline to watch.
After all, Maximilian was already an emperor, and even if the constitutionalists regretted it, there was no way to change to a new emperor.
The results of the previous government reform, Massimilino selectively retains most of them, because the failure to consider soil and water dissatisfaction has caused dissatisfaction among all levels of the country.
For example: At the beginning of the throne, the Catholic Church also made great efforts in order to recover the land they lost.
This part of the land was not given to the people, most of it fell into the hands of republican bureaucrats and big landowners and capitalists who supported them. Now that the Republicans have failed politically, the church will naturally fight back.
Under normal circumstances, Massimilino I must be on his side to fight against the Republican enemy.
However, he believes that the church should not hold too much land. The land was taken over by the state, and the government sold it to private individuals, a legal transaction.
There is no doubt that this violates the principle of party disagreement. Can not bring benefits to supporters, naturally do not think that everyone continues to support him.
In just a few months, Massimilino I not only failed to cultivate his own cronies, but instead drove many supporters to the opposite side.
This is only part of the story. The most typical case of death is that, shortly after the succession of Maximilian I, the debt of the Mexican empire tripled.
As an idealist, it is naturally very flickering.
As soon as he got to power, he faced a financial crisis. The government needed funds to run. The French army who interfered in the Mexican civil war needed to pay back.
Facing this predicament, Massimilino I could only borrow money. The French, as his supporter, ate this cake naturally, but the French appetite was a bit big.
In addition to the French, the interests of the other two interfering countries must also be safeguarded. Recognizing the debt owed by the previous government is one of them.
Here Massimilino I made another mistake. Many of the debts in it were actually illegal. He did not need the new government to inherit them. He took it all.
The famous Miramar Agreement was thus signed. Massimilino I commissioned French banks to issue 114 million peso bonds, of which the French withheld a third to repay their debts and a quarter to withhold Debts of other countries.
Coupled with the messy handling fees, 42.18 million pesos remained in the hands of Massimilino, and the money had to pay for the French military's garrison and maintain the government.
Without doing anything, the debt tripled. People of insight in Mexico naturally despise this emperor.
Even if you want a loan, you still have to consider the actual situation. The Mexican government has no money to pay the debt, and the French now demand that Massimilino I mortgage the tariffs.
Massimiliano I reacted and found himself cheated.
The Mexican empire was not as affluent as outside rumors, and it was not fake to produce silver. However, most of these minerals had strong backgrounds and could not collect a few taxes at all.
Massimiliano I knew the importance of customs and was unwilling to hand it over to the French. The contract period between the two parties ended.
"Your Majesty, you sign this treaty!"
The French commander in Mexico, Bazin, took out a document and handed it to Massimilino I, without seeing any respect for the emperor.
Massimilino I picked up the documents, and saw nothing torn directly, all the ground lost. He said coldly, "Okay, you can go now."
As the line of the Habsburgs, Massimilino also has a temper. The French did not give him face, and naturally it was impossible for him to give face.
Bazan left the palace with an iron complexion, but he didn't say anything threatening. It's one thing not to put Massimilino in his eyes, and he still dares not mess up.
He is not a mob of Republicans. France is also a monarchy. Maintaining the dignity of monarchs is the common will of European monarchies, and Bazin naturally will not taboo.
It doesn't matter if you don't get the emperor's signature, so does the cabinet's signature. Originally, the French were ready to find a senior official to sign, and then settled the established facts.
Now that the Paris government has appointed even an officer of the Mexican Customs, it is waiting to fill in the legal formalities and go to office.
It was only during a banquet that Baden and Massimilino I clashed, that he deliberately took out documents to stimulate Massimilino.
From the beginning, the French just wanted a puppet emperor, and unfortunately, Maximilian did not cooperate at all, and was still trying to be a good monarch.
However, this effort has greatly worsened the situation. As an emperor united by the French constitutionalists, conservatives, and churches, Massimilino did not stand politically with the class that supported him.
Whimsical wants to be the most notarized monarch, not the spokesperson of any political faction. He hopes to establish a moderate government, which will be recognized by all parties.
At present, he has successfully completed half of his goals, achieved fairness and justice, and has not become the spokesperson of any class or interest group.
It is estimated that the remaining half will never be achieved. If the domestic political group needs him to withstand the pressure of the French, Massimilino is now truly lonely.
