Chapter 780: Near East Development 1.0

Undoubtedly, with the support of the Vienna government, the Armenian throne fell to Archduke Vladimir Alexandrovich.
After the news spread, the European people started to use the daily mode, and experts and scholars jumped out to point out the mountains and rivers. Until everyone disputes the outcome, the British government is in a hurry.
The political significance of the seemingly humble Armenian throne cannot be ignored.
Armenia is located between the three countries of Russia, Austria, and Poland. After reading Prokby's war history, you will find that Byzantium and Persia have repeatedly contended for this area.
The tsarist government must master this place, certainly not to target Austria. Russia-Austria border is so long and there are many areas that are easy to attack. There is no need to do more.
The pure Armenian kingdom has no value, and the land of projectiles is not worthy of peeping from the tsarist government, so it is self-evident who the target is.
...
Minister of Foreign Affairs George: "The Caucasus is too far away, and our influence cannot go deep enough to interfere in the Armenian throne dispute.
Russia and Austria quickly reached an agreement on this issue, and we have to be vigilant next. In addition to the Austrian threat, the Russian threat cannot be ignored.
In the future, the pressure on us in Central Asia and Persia will increase greatly. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs proposes to appropriately support France and North Germany and to contain Russia and Austria from behind. "
There is no way, this is a problem left over by history. More than a decade ago, the British used the opportunity of the Prussian War to support a few younger brothers to seize Central Asia from the Russians.
Mao Xiong is vengeful. Regardless of whether Alexander III is a pacifist, as long as he wants to be a "good tsar" in the eyes of the people, the next goal is to recapture Central Asia.
The Russians returned to Central Asia, and if the conflict between Britain and Russia had not yet erupted, the Austrian Foreign Ministry could be dissolved.
Faced with the threat of two big powers at the same time, if no one shares the pressure, the British will certainly not be able to withstand it.
Whether Persia or Central Asia is breached, India will become a battlefield.
Russia and Austria may not be able to seize India from the British, but India's situation out of control due to the war will almost certainly happen.
In case Russia and Austria hold the mentality of "I can't get it, don't worry about it" and fully support India's independence.
With lessons learned from American independence, the London government had to be vigilant to avoid the worst.
Chancellor of the Exchequer Xiaozhi Childers said in shock: "You are playing with fire, and you will lose control if you are not careful!"
It seems very good to support France and Germany. Russia and Austria can be pinned from behind. The problem is that France, Germany and Germany can only unite.
There are various signs that the French are still obsessed with the expansion of China and Europe, and North Germany is exactly blocking the French way.
A lot of things have happened in the recent period. Short selling francs, big dumps, support for the Revolutionary Party, and France's withdrawal from the free trade system. These series of changes have put Britain-France relations at the freezing point in history after the anti-France war.
A little setback did not obliterate the French pride, but stimulated the rise of French nationalism.
If something goes wrong in the middle, the enemies are provoking from it, and they may fight before they play a role.
If this happened, the British government would be a joke.
Foreign Minister George calmly analyzed: "Jazz, don't get excited. The contradiction between France and Germany is not as deep as you think, far from the time when it broke out.
As long as the benefits are large enough, potential enemies can also be allies first. To be French-German friendly, we must make full use of Russia and Austria.
For example: use the hatred of Russia and Russia to stir up the anti-Russian movement in North Germany;
Or the conflict between France and Austria broke out in Italy, in the Mediterranean, on the Suez Canal ...
You don't have to fight, you just need to expose the contradictions and let them guard against each other. "
"By the way, the Nordic Federation can also make use of it. During the Second Russian-Prussian War, the Tsarist government sold Finland as a cover and obtained loans from the Nordic Federation.
If it were not for the Austrian guarantee, it is estimated that the Tsarist government would have been in debt. The gap between the two sides has long been buried.
We just ... "
Using new hatred to cover up old hatred will not work, and no one can guarantee it.
However, this brain hole is still worthy of admiration. Britain's long-standing foreign policy has resulted in its enemies not being ordinary.
If the contradictions of the past cannot be suppressed, Britain will be the enemy of the world.
Prime Minister Glaston interrupted: "Sir, your foreign ministry's plan is too whimsical.
It is not denied that Russia and Austria are all our threats, but such threats only exist in a potential sense and will not erupt in the short term.
The international situation is ever-changing. Perhaps today is still an ally and tomorrow will become an enemy. Who knows what will happen in the future? "
After a series of changes, Gladstone's development of the most suitable foreign policy for Britain remains "glorious isolation."
Britain has received too many benefits, and now it is necessary to defend the world. Avoid participating in continental disputes, and appear as the arbiter to continue to maximize.
A series of mistakes made by the London government in its diplomatic operations are essentially giving up its advantages in the strait and directly participating in the European disputes.
Too much effort and money was spent on "potential" and "possible" threats.
There is no problem with the European balance policy, and no matter how strong the foreign policy is suppressed. Adding the two together, the problem broke out.
Since the First Near East War, the British government's foreign policy has fallen into this weird circle and has been standing on the opposite side of European powers.
Suppressing the Russians, the French rise again; finally suppressing the French, Austria popped up again; now preparing to act against Austria.
It seems that the British Foreign Office has achieved brilliant results and has not played a substantial role. This day of suppressing competitors is still beyond sight.
The culprit that caused this to happen is precisely Britain's European balance policy.
In order to maintain continental balance, the London government could not kill the enemy with a single stroke. Not only can't be killed, not even canal.
In case of accidental heavy strikes, the British must hurry up and pull one, so as not to have a dominant situation in continental Europe.
Hatred will not disappear because of a pull, and now there is no outbreak, it does not mean that it will never erupt.
The rulers of all countries are people, and people have weaknesses. Don't expect everyone to stay sane forever.
In the unlikely event that a hot-headed guy emerges, regardless of the direct revenge battle against Britain, the painstaking operation of the British government will soon disappear.
In this age of utilitarianism, as long as the benefits are sufficient, anything can happen.
For example: The value of hatred has increased, and the rulers of the three countries of Russia, France, and Austria suddenly changed their minds. They must first complete the clearance and then fight for continental hegemony.
Or when the Three Kingdoms found that no one can do nothing, they endorsed each other and went out looking for meat to eat together.
...
The foreign policy of the British government has changed again, and Franz naturally did not know it. Now he is still working for the post-war recovery in the Near East.
As for the trio of Russia, France and Austria that the British most worried about, Franz has never taken it seriously.
Now Austria is willing to join Britain and France to do Britain, but France and Russia are not willing!
Austria is at its peak. They are still licking the wound. At this time, it is self-evident that they will join forces.
If I can be the boss myself, why should I be low and low?
Unless Austria has also fallen into decline, or France and Russia have recovered, and the strength of the three countries is at the same level, it is possible to join hands to divide Britain.
If the strength of the three countries is really equal, Franz will not dare to join forces with them. This is determined by the strategic position. As a sandwich biscuit, we must keep twelve points of vigilance.
Although the British hate it, their continental balance policy has positive significance during the period when Austria's strength is insufficient.
In fact, after entering modern times, the foreign policies of countries around the world are full of utilitarianism and variability, and they place too much emphasis on short-term interests.
The British have to pay a considerable part of this change. The geographical isolation of overseas countries has made the British people blatant and profitable.
France and Russia are actually British learners. Unfortunately, they do not have the protection of the strait.
Austria did not imitate the British, not how high Franz's manners were, mainly due to geographical location.
There are examples of the tragedy of the German and German empires in the original time and space. Franz had to pick up the foreign policy of the Metternich era to be a harmless and powerful country.
Prime Minister Felix: "Your Majesty, this is a government-developed plan for the development of the Near East. It is divided into three phases.
Now the government is implementing the first phase, which mainly consists of two parts, resettlement and main road construction, which complement each other.
According to the plan, the government intends to complete the main railway from Vienna to Baghdad within five years, including two branch lines connecting the Middle East Railway and the Arab Ring Railway.
Considering the particularity of the Near East, the next resettlement will be carried out along the railway line.
145 stations have been planned along the railway line, each of which has been set up as an immigration town or a city.
Large-scale immigration will begin in two years. In the short term, it will only target coastal immigrants and directly modify existing cities.
... "
In general, the Baghdad Railway planned by the Vienna government is not substantially different from the Baghdad Railway built by the original Germans.
The only difference is that the German Baghdad Railway goes to Constantinople, the Austrian Baghdad Railway goes to the Dardanelles.
Construction of the European part of the railway has been completed long ago, and the required construction section starts from the Dardanelles Bridge and extends to Baghdad.
As for the railways left by the Ottoman Empire along the way, because the track standards are different, they can only be demolished and rebuilt.
Connecting the Middle East Railway and the Arab Roundabout is still an idea, and the two railways are also under construction.
The construction of the Middle East railway is about to be completed relatively soon. As for the Arab Ring Railway because of the geographical conditions, it is estimated that the Baghdad Railway will not be completed.
The immigration lag is inevitable. Although the Ottoman Empire has perished, it will still take some time to annihilate the remnants of Zhanshan as king.
If it were n’t for the people on the peninsula and they were sent away, let alone two years, and even five years later, there would be no way to ensure that the place was cleared.
After receiving the plan, Franz looked at the plan. Without a computer, it's all drawn by hand, and the beautiful renderings are unnecessary.
A few lines symbolize the railway. There is no doubt that such an important project as the Baghdad Railway is naturally a double-track railway.
The stations along the way are small dots. The exact location of the site has not been finalized.
There is no satellite map, all rely on the manual operation of engineers, and errors are natural.
Skipping the pretty plan, and the long-known resettlement plan, fell on the final funding budget, and Franz frowned.
