The war in the Near East has become fierce. Apart from the attention of politicians, it has not attracted the attention of the people eating melon.
The Habsburgs and Ottomans were feudal, and the Tsarist government and Ottomans were also feudal. Even Greece and Montenegro were the feuds of the Ottoman Empire.
With a common enemy, it is normal for the four nations to form an anti-Turkish alliance. Opening the history books, we know that these countries fought against Ottoman every three to five.
Ottoman has fallen, and was forced to withdraw from the Balkan Peninsula as early as the First Eastern War. The Asia Minor Peninsula is still too far away from everyone.
The focus of public opinion is the French Revolution. Although the Paris Commune movement ended, the political impact it brought was far-reaching.
Destroying the Palace of Versailles seems to be venting revenge, but it is actually pulling the majesty of the monarch off the altar.
The revolutionaries who were unwilling to fail, seized the last aftermath, propagated revolutionary ideas, and governments of all countries were busy fighting the fire.
These incidents do not seem to have anything to do with the Anti-Turkish Alliance. Newspapers have always followed sales. The news around them is far more interesting than overseas news.
The eyes of the people in Europe are concentrated on the revolution, and the eyes of the people in the four countries of the Anti-Turkish Alliance are on the Near East War.
Human beings have always been the most revengeful creatures. The great villain of Ottoman has attracted everyone's attention, so that everyone has no time to care about revolutionary ideas.
Fortunately, the information hasn't been transmitted all this year, and everyone's understanding of the outside world is not so detailed. Otherwise, if the news is passed out, it will definitely cause uproar.
It is perfect to find an old enemy to fight, to be able to transfer internal contradictions and avoid the spread of revolutionary ideas.
Of course, this approach may not apply to France. Their enemies are too strong, and none of them are provoking.
The premise of the law of transferring wars is that you must win. If you lose, you will be finished.
...
The Royal Palace of Berlin, Frederick III is doing the final ideological struggle: whether to join forces with Hanover to form the North German Empire.
Every time he thought of it, he couldn't help complaining about his father and his son.
It was a long time ago that Metternich proposed that Poo divides the German region, because of a series of factors such as unequal distribution of dividends and opposition from Britain and France.
Who knows today, thirty years later, because of a mistake in government decision-making, it is back to the question of establishing North Germany.
The same North German Empire is actually two species. The territory of the German region has not been lost, and it is even larger than the partition plan proposed by Metternich that year, but Prussia has shrunk by more than half.
Affected by this, Prussia, which should have dominated North Germany, is now a vassal of Hanover.
What anti-gods are the main ones are the foolish words of Huyou, and Frederick III would not believe it.
Even God's blessing can guarantee the independence of Prussia. Knowing that Hanover was Britain's biological son, Prussia was the most godson, at least in the Victorian era.
In this age of world by the powers, the importance of the backstage is self-evident, leaving the Berlin government with few options.
In the relationship between the Prussian Russia and the Russian Empire, the tsarist government in the east is definitely an enemy. If you do n’t cause them trouble, even luck, do n’t even think about supporting it.
The formation of North Germany will definitely offend Austria. Regardless of what the Vienna government did, Frederick III knew that there must be something wrong.
France, which had been highly anticipated by the Berlin government, did not wait for them to come over and suddenly revolutionized.
Every time I thought of it, Frederick III secretly rejoiced that he did not take this step, or even the British boss would be offended.
Prime Minister Leo von Caprivi proposed: "Sir, since the Austrians' plans are unclear, it is better to show them off directly.
The Vienna government is certain that it wants to unify the German region, but they are not ready yet, fearing that they will be boycotted by European countries, so this step has not been taken.
Now France in the west is greatly weakened by the influence of the revolution, and Ottoman in the south is about to die. If the Vienna government can stabilize the Russians, their chances of unifying the German region are already high.
In our situation, we can only stand by the winner.
Many states in the German region have been drawn to Austrians, and the Vienna government has been reluctant to bid for us. It should be that they cannot trust us. "
People will change. Under the beating of society, the thought of Grand Prussian has disappeared.
Even the noble Junker nobles had to enter a dormant state because the war had failed.
After the politicians came to power, the Berlin government has become less radical and more practical.
Frederick III shook his head: "It's not that simple. The French haven't really hurt their vitality. They can calm down after three or five years.
Russia-Austria relations cannot stand the test of national interests. Perhaps the Tsarist government will be forced to accept Austria ’s unified German region in a short period of time and become the European hegemon.
But they will have a day to recover. Will the Russian Empire, which has slowed down ten or twenty years later, be willing to accept Austria's exclusive continental hegemony?
With the British here, do you think it is far from the anti-Austrian alliance?
Napoleon was defeated by the union of European countries. How could Franz take a cautious temper?
Unifying the German region is not only the beginning of the peak, but also the prelude to the end.
Austria will not do anything without full confidence, otherwise they would have unified the German region. "
Having said that, Frederick III spoke a little at the map, and he kept silent.
The person who knows you best is not your friend, but your enemy.
Puao is also an old adversary, and the Berlin government has always attached great importance to the collection of intelligence on Austria, including the study of Franz's personality.
Knowing much more, Frederick III was basically able to judge what the Vienna government thought.
They have used the diplomatic and military methods to solve the enemies on the north and south. Why not wait for the remaining enemies to be killed before acting?
Looking in the direction of Frederick III's finger, Leo von Caprivi couldn't help but blurt out and said: "India!"
After speaking, it seemed that he was conscious of his folly, and Leo von Caprivii fell into silence. There was only one concept in his mind: the Austrians had made a move.
The terrible thing about Yang Mou is that everyone can see it clearly, but he can't resist the temptation of interest.
As early as during the First Near Eastern War, the Russians were pitted by Austria. However, even if they were pitted, Russia-Austria relations remained unaffected.
The reason is very simple. The benefits promised by the Vienna government were obtained by the Russians, which was a willing pit.
Can the loss be as heavy as Constantinople?
As long as the benefits are in place, the losses are nothing at all. In essence, the potential strength of the Russian Empire has also grown, but it will take time to transform it into national power.
Knowing to know, the Berlin government did not remind the British. Some time ago, they just put the British together, and the relationship between Britain and the United Kingdom was not so harmonious.
...
Both the Berlin government has analyzed it, and the London government can also analyze it. Of course, the two are in different positions and have different conclusions.
The Berlin government suspects that Austria will encourage the Russians to annex India, while the London government believes that Austria is eyeing India.
After all, this is the richest colony in the world, richer than other colonies in total, and the Vienna government has no reason or ambition.
While supporting the Ottoman Empire, Glaston also abandoned his "glorious isolation" policy.
Here are six principles he put forward before taking office as Prime Minister:
1. Establish a good government in the country;
2. Maintain peace abroad
3. Keep the European powers coordinated;
4. Not allied with other countries;
5. Recognize the equal rights of all countries;
6. Freedom of sympathy.
There are two basic points to these six principles: First, to coordinate good offices among the countries of the European continent in order to establish a so-called "coordinated Europe";
The second is to avoid alliances with other European countries in order to maintain their freedom of movement and achieve "glorious isolation".
However, the plan did not change quickly, and Glaston's policies had not yet arrived in time, and the international situation had taken a drastic turn.
If the glorious isolation policy was the best option for the London government before the outbreak of the Near East War, then after the outbreak of the Paris Revolution and the establishment of the Anti-Turkish Alliance, it would no longer be half feasible.
Faced with an increasingly severe international situation, the British urgently need their allies to pin down Austria on the European continent to ensure India's security.
Throughout the world, the three countries that have the ability to contain Austria are so pathetic. Apart from Britain itself, there are only France and Russia that are not in a good state.
Glaston put his hands on the table and said solemnly, "Dear everyone, it's time to do multiple choice questions.
Britain needs a big ally to cope with the international changes that follow. Now let ’s choose one from the three countries: France, Russia, and Austria! "
Nothing wrong, Austria is also one of the options. In the English dictionary, friends and foes are convertible.
When a country is so powerful that it cannot suppress it and cannot become enemies, turning enemies into friends is also an option.
Foreign Minister George took the lead in answering: "Prime Minister, this is a multiple choice question and we have no choice at all.
With the fall of France and Russia, the situation on the European continent has become clear, and Austria, which is not visible, has become our biggest threat now.
Of course, it is not ruled out that the Austrian Empire is also paperless.
It's just that this possibility is very small. This time the revolution that spread throughout Europe, Austria has not been chaotic. I don't think that there will be problems within them in a short time.
At this time, our alliance with Austria will undoubtedly further fuel their arrogance.
The Russians are also not a good choice. The interests of Russia and Austria are too closely linked. It is difficult for the Tsarist government to stand on the opposite side of Austria before regaining its strength.
Moreover, the credibility of the Russians is too poor. We do not have the ability to collect debts by force. Transfusion of blood to them is nothing.
In fact, we have only one choice left-France.
Judging by my own senses, the ambitious French is also not a good ally.
Supporting them requires a lot of risk, and the possibility of backwashing is very high. We must grasp this degree. "
Not only did he want to pull his allies, but he was also worried that the allies would take the opportunity to grow bigger, and the London government also broke his heart in order to balance Europe.
Chancellor of the Exchequer Xiaozhi Childers objected: "Isn't it good to encourage Austrian arrogance?
You must know that this is a different enemy from the past. After the outbreak of civil strife in France, Austria has become a substantial continental hegemon.
However, this hegemon is different from the previous European hegemon. The Austrians dominated European affairs through the Vienna system, and they did not have the habit of reaching out, including the French civil unrest.
This restrained behavior allows the Austrians to have a good international image in front of European countries, and even they maintain a good relationship with each European country.
Faced with such enemies, containment is the worst option. No one knows how many allies they can pull out. The best option is to let them make mistakes themselves. "
"Bad kill" is the lowest cost option, but the prerequisite is that it must be able to kill, or else only "stick" is left, and the loss is great.
After hesitating for a moment, Glaston shook his head: "The success rate is too low. We cannot hope that the Austrians will make mistakes.
If they are not wrong, we will release a monster by ourselves, and finally back to ourselves.
No, Austria is already a man-eating monster and a monster that is good at camouflage.
We have been deceived by their disguised appearances so much that we are now aware of their threat. "
