Chapter 57： John Bulls plan (new week asking for tickets) (1/2)
While flickering the Paris government, the Austrian Foreign Ministry naturally will not forget the London government, and the British Empire was still awesome in this era.
As the only industrial country in the world today, it is time for them to be arrogant. Fortunately, the British mainland is small and restricts population growth, otherwise there will be no latecomers.
In the Great Revolution of 1848, the British also could not avoid it, but compared with France, Austria and other countries, they were all pediatrics.
The revolutionaries of Zhidacaishu, before they broke out, were suppressed by the police uncles. Finally, after several strikes, it was over.
Franz knew that the Sardinian war was actually planned by the British, and long before the Kingdom of Sardinia sent troops, British Foreign Minister Palmerston began lobbying King Charles-Albert.
In this context, Austria's diplomatic activities in London are naturally impossible to achieve results.
Moreover, the credibility of the British people is really not reassuring, as long as the interests need to change their position at any time.
Fortunately, Franz did not expect to receive British support. Ambassador Humelauer's purpose was simple: to lobby pro-Austrian MPs to prevent the London government from providing substantial support to the Kingdom of Sardinia.
Downing street
Prime Minister John Russell is thinking about the current world situation. First of all, the French issue. The interim government just established has diplomatically expressed goodwill to the British Empire. He still hesitates to accept it.
The Vienna system has collapsed. How should the future European political structure be established?
Don't look at the British diplomacy playing very well. Before the collapse of the Vienna system, John Russell didn't feel anything, but now it really collapses, he feels a headache.
Under the Vienna system, European nations have remained evenly matched, and the British can rest assured that they will expand their territories overseas.
”His Excellency, according to the current situation, we can continue the previous strategic conception and establish a unified Italian dynasty, weakening Austria's strength, while preventing the French from expanding into Italy!” Foreign Minister Palmerston proposed
John Russell frowned and said, ”Mr. Palmerston, this is the ideal state. In fact, for the balance of power in European countries, we also need Austria.
The internal contradictions in Austria are now so many that they might disintegrate. Without restrictions, the Habsburgs will return to the German region.
Now the unification of the German region is very high. With the reputation of the Habsburgs, it is likely to unify the German region. ”
In Europe of descent theory, John Russell was not unfounded. Once Austria disintegrated, the return of the remaining Austrian states to Germany became almost inevitable.
In this case, it is really possible for the Habsburgs to unify Germany. Conquering the world with your lower body is no joke.
Even if the Habsburgs did not unite Germany, would it be the same for Prussians? The emergence of a unified Great German Empire was not a good thing for the British.
Franz also considered whether to give up Hungary and Italy and return to form the German Empire. But after careful analysis, he gave up the temptation decisively.
It is easy to unify the German region, but what about internal contradictions? At least he had no way to subdue the Prussians. The Catholic Church of South Germany and the Protestant Church of North Germany were distinct.
Historically, this problem has not been solved by the Germans, and the Second Empire has been contradictory since its establishment.
