Chapter 155: Yun Chung (1/2)
European countries have no desire to look at the unification of the German region. Neither the Bavarian and Prussian ”Three Domestic Cabinets” or the ”Federal Cabinet” proposed by Austria are what the powers want to see.
The wings of a butterfly can create a tornado, and the arrival of Franz has also affected European history. The attitude of the Russians has changed. Instead of wanting to maintain the status quo in the German region, they want the German Federation to split directly.
This idea was also shared by Britain and France, who experienced the terrible nationalism after the Great Revolution of 1848.
The success of Austria's reforms also caused them to worry, for fear of binding the German region like this, the Holy Roman Empire will be resurrected one day.
The best option is to divide it into three, and Austria, Prussia, Bavaria, and the remaining states will join together to form a separate state, or dissolve the federal parliament and let these states be independent.
independent?
This is the 19th century, not the 21st century. This is an era of colonialism.
Don't look at this German Federation seems to have not played much role. In fact, it is because of the existence of the Federation that their national security is guaranteed.
Without the protection of the Federal Republic of Germany, these states in the German region could be destroyed in an instant.
The Prussians want to expand, the French want to expand, and Austria also wants to expand, because the existence of the federation checks and balances with each other, the Prussians have no way to deal with them, the French dare not act against them, and Austria cannot.
The complicated international situation is the reason for the freak existence of the German Federation after the end of the Holy Roman Empire.
The small states are all warming up in groups, and Bavaria has become the natural leader of the small states, responsible for leading everyone to compete with Prussia and Austria.
Franz thought for a while and said, ”Continue to increase the penetration of the Bavarian region, and we will still mobilize the high-level government, so we will first draw some middle and lower levels.”
Buying people ’s hearts is also cost-conscious. The high-level Austria of the Bavarian government ca n’t give much, but the middle and lower levels of the government are different. Just giving a little benefit is enough to change their position.
Felix proposed: ”Your Majesty, we need to establish a German national unification organization, which is specifically responsible for attracting people from all walks of life and undermining the determination of all countries to fight against Austria.
Our strategy for the South German state is mainly political pull-in, supplemented by military means. Except for some die-hards who must fight, the rest can fight as much as possible.
Bavaria is an indispensable link, because of its geopolitical relationship, they have a great influence in the South German region.
If we can quickly occupy Bavaria when the unification war breaks out, then the remaining states are likely to fall into the wind. ”
Franz knew that it was a fake to win people from all walks of life, and the real goal was to win the lower nobility, especially the military nobles. As long as they fell to Austria, the unification war would be ready.
Franz nodded and said: ”Then set up the German Unification Commission, which exists as an independent civil society, dedicated to the unification of the German region, and in the clear should not be related to Austria.”
Such an organization must not be related to Austria. In addition to diplomatic troubles, there are means and methods of pulling people, which are certainly not so glamorous on the surface.
Intimidation and lure are considered to be harmonious. When necessary, it is possible to accompany an assassin to remove some die-hards. This pot can only be carried by national extremists.
It is estimated that they would not care, and it is not a blame, at most they are scolded now. After the reunification, they are the heroes of the German region.
...
The diplomatic game has begun. In this era, the problems in the German region are definitely not limited to the internal settlements of the German states. The attitudes of the powers are also crucial.
Britain, France, and Russia are the three inescapable masters. The attitudes of France and Russia are especially important. These two countries have the ability to send troops to intervene.
But now is not the time for the showdown. The Prussian government just wants to show the public that they support the German unified position and restore the damaged reputation. It does not mean that they really give up their ambitions for the German region and instead support Bavaria. ”Three-legged stand.”
Can the Bavarian government see this problem? Obviously it is impossible. If you don't see this, no one will object to uniting with Prussia.
Unfortunately, Maximilian I could not resist the temptation, only saw the benefits and not the dangers. It's easy to fall a tightrope in diplomacy, and Bavaria lacks a diplomat who can control the big picture.
In the history of the Austrian-Prussian War, Bavaria wanted to sit on the tiger's shoulders, and had promised to send 100,000 troops in place, which directly led to a quarter of the Plu's soldiers being more powerful than Austria when the battle was final.
Of course, it's not just Bavaria that pits teammates. Except for Hanover, the rest of Austria's allies were almost defeated by the Pru soldiers.
If it weren't for Italy and also a pig teammate, it is estimated that the Pu-Olympic war will end sooner. Perhaps it is too much to trust teammates, the Austrian government has no defense at all, and the national mobilization has not been carried out, and directly put 300,000 active troops on the battlefield.
Obviously, the strategic vision of Maximilian I was not good. He did not expect that the Austrian government would be so persuaded, and after a defeat, he simply gave up and lost, and he did not die with the Prussians at all.
Looking back at history, Franz found that Puao was indeed a family, and the level of finding teammates was the same garbage.
From the beginning of the Pu-Olympic war to the end of World War II, there were no fewer pig teammates around.
...
Paris
After the anti-French war, the French Foreign Ministry has rarely been so lively. Austria, Prussia, and Bavaria are all seeking diplomatic support.
