Chapter 253： New vienna system (1/2)
The Vienna Conference opened, and delegations from various countries were coordinating and showing their magical powers.
Russia and France attempted to divide up the rest of the Balkan Peninsula, and the John Cow who was left aside was naturally reconciled, pulling the Ottoman Empire to pose a war-to-war posture.
The British threatened the Russians without fear. Anyway, they have control of Constantinople and can block the Bosphorus. Once the two sides turn over, the British Navy fleet in the Black Sea will be closed and beaten.
The bear bears hostage hostage is full of confidence. As a land power country, the British are offended. The bears with huge land can go out without a hit.
The French government hesitated first. This was not because Napoleon III was afraid of fighting the British. In fact, it was for this matter that there would be no war between the two sides.
If it does, the French navy will not be without power. Maybe they can't win the Royal Navy, but it can still hurt the Royal Navy's vitality.
This kind of high-risk gambling is impossible for the London government to risk. It is too easy to explode the navy in the era of sailing warships. There will be no winners in the battle between the two great powers.
It is mainly in terms of benefits. Anyone who is a neighbor with a fur bear will dread three points. Napoleon III wants to gain benefits, but not to take risks.
France alone swallows up Macedonia, Albania, Thrace, Epirus and other regions, which seem to be profitable. In fact, after this war, the economy of the Balkan Peninsula has long since collapsed.
War destruction, refugee flows, and plagues all add up to this. The population on the Balkans is directly reduced by one-third, and young labor is even rarer.
What was once a fat mass of the Balkans is now degreased. To restore social order, it is necessary to invest a lot of resources.
In simple terms, this income is not enough to make the French risk. If not for political needs, Napoleon III would have no interest in the territories on the Balkans.
”You guys, it's not a way to go so noisy, it's better to divide the sphere of influence and discuss it later!” Metternich suggested
After speaking, first mark the Austrian control area on the map with a pen, and then hand the map to the Russian representative Karl Vossel.
There is nothing to hesitate. Karl-Worthell has circled his expectations on the map. Russia and Austria have agreed that the sphere of influence of the two sides did not occur.
The French also followed closely, drawing out their sphere of influence, and when it was the British's turn, Thomas was dumbfounded.
Dude, the three countries faced the map, and the Balkans were divided up. Even if the island had a leak, it was in the hands of the Ottoman Empire, and the British could not do so by bullying their allies.
With a clever idea, Thomas felt that there was something to do, and he couldn't make the enemy do it so easily.
As for the ally of the Ottoman Empire, it is a pity that it can only be sacrificed. It is only the will of the entire European people, including the British people, that Thomas cannot rise against the current.
”Three people, the people on the Balkans have been enslaved by the Ottoman Empire for so many years, and now they are back in the embrace of the civilized world. We should help them to establish their country independently. How can we continue to enslave them?
If this inhuman thing happens, how will countries around the world think about us? How does the international community feel? ”
Metternich rolled his eyes, and the four of them could represent the international community. If only one country has made a pass, it may still be condemned by European countries. The four companies will keep it together and let everyone shut up.
In this era, the world can't find an existence that dares to be the enemy of Britain, France, Russia, and Austria at the same time. Even if the remaining countries are tied together, they are not opponents of the four.
”Mr. Thomas is more concerned. How can we enslave the people on the Balkans?
You know that the people of the Balkans have been under the **** rule of the Ottoman Empire for a long time, and many people have been poisoned by the barbaric world. We are helping them to return to the civilized world.
According to the information we have collected, the cultural heritage on the Balkan Peninsula has been severely damaged. Now the people on the island are not the accomplices of the Ottoman Empire to suppress the people.
Either a group of illiterates, or a traitor in the civilized world, isn't it a joke to let them establish their country independently?
It is still our country to supervise and guide the local people back into the civilized world, and it is the best choice to prevent the tragedy from continuing. ”
The Black Ottoman Empire is also politically correct. Even the barbaric endorsements of the Ottoman Empire over the centuries have been deeply embedded in the hearts of every European.
Of course, the notoriety of the Ottoman Empire is also worthy of the name. In history, they really did a lot of angry things. Metternich could find a lot of evidence to prove their barbarity.
These things are not revealed, then there is nothing. Once they are taken out, whether it happened a hundred years ago or two hundred years ago is a proof of sin.
In any case, it is not white. Experts in this era have not lost their morale, and they cannot do anything to help the Ottoman Empire wash the ground.
As a politician, Thomas was even more afraid to defend the Ottomans on this issue, otherwise the British would not spare him.
Today, people with cultural and knowledge heritage in the Balkans are basically attached to the Ottoman Empire. Even if they were not traitors, their ancestors were also traitors.
From this perspective, the division of these people into the Ottoman Empire is barely justified.
Thomas did not entangle here, he directly proposed: ”Mr. Metternich is right, since that is the case, how about the international co-management of the Balkans, and let us help them return to the civilized world.
When they are pulled back to the civilized world, they are looking for a suitable time to allow the people on the Balkan Peninsula to establish their own country and do their part for the civilized world. ”
After hearing Thomas's proposal, the French representative Auvergne was obviously a little moved, but the Russians reacted more fiercely.
Carl Worthell slaps his hands on the table and says angrily: ”This is impossible! The people of the Balkan Peninsula are suffering from the Ottoman tea poison. We must be supervised by us to return to the civilized world.”
Looking at the furious Karl Worthell, Metternich rubbed his forehead. It is clear that the military minister's foreign minister has not adapted to the role of a diplomat, and he is in a position of disagreement.
