Chapter 314： New Tripod Strategy (1/2)

Time passed quickly, and it entered 1860 in a flash. The first major event of the new year was that Nicholas I went to see God.

If it happens in other European countries, this is also a small problem. It is not just another emperor, and life will go on as usual.

This is not the case with Tsarist Russia. Changing the Tsar also means that the Russian foreign policy is about to change.

As a continental hegemon, changes in the foreign policy of the Tsarist government will definitely affect the international situation, and the Vienna government must take measures to respond.

Foreign Minister Weissenberg analyzed: ”According to the information we have collected, Alexander II is not as strong as Nicholas the Great, and he is better at compromised art.

Alexander II's political position was different from that of Emperor Nicholas. He advocated more thorough social reforms and opposed busy external expansion.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs judged that Alexander II might compromise with the British, stop supporting Indian rebels in exchange for compromise between Britain and Russia.

Without the support of the Russians, the Indians could not stop the British, and it would not be long before this rebellion would be suppressed.

In a maximum of two more years, the British will be able to withdraw from India. At that time, it is uncertain whether the British will return to the European continent or launch a new round of colonial expansion.

In this context, the French should accelerate their actions in the Kingdom of Sardinia.

The Paris government has successfully persuaded Belgium, the Netherlands, Switzerland and other countries to withdraw their troops from the Kingdom of Sardinia. According to the agreement, after the killer was arrested, we would also withdraw from the Kingdom of Sardinia.

As long as France and Russia reach an agreement and the Russians withdraw their troops in the Kingdom of Sardinia, the British will be overwhelmed, and the rest of the European countries will have no confidence in France.

It is not difficult to convince the Russians. The biggest problem for Alexander II's social reform was the lack of funding. As long as the French are willing to provide a loan, the Tsarist government will sell the Kingdom of Sardinia. ”

Chancellor of the Exchequer Carr shook his head and said, ”The London government will not stop and provide loans to the Kingdom of Sardinia. Although the previous governments have done it, the British government has provided guarantees for the loans.

The British Parliament cannot assume this debt, and capitalists are even less likely to abandon the loan, not to mention the huge interest behind the loan.

Now that the Kingdom of Sardinia is the dumping ground for their industrial and commercial products, with millions of pounds of export trade each year, they are reluctant to let go.

Once the French captured the Kingdom of Sardinia, all their privileges were gone, and the loans became a bad debt.

Now that the British have lost half of the Sardinian kingdom's market, they are almost at the limit of their endurance.

Unless the French take advantage of the British's lack of time to take care of the Kingdom of Sardinia, the sword will be chaotic, resulting in the established fact of occupation of the Kingdom of Sardinia.

Unfortunately, the Paris government could not make this determination. They were worried that the direct occupation of the Kingdom of Sardinia would cause everyone's fear and even trigger an anti-French war. ”

This is a sequelae. Napoleon left a glorious era for the French, and also let the French stand under the spotlight. Any action they take on the European continent can be seen with a magnifying glass.

Napoleon III could not accurately judge the true position of each country and chose stability. The cannibalization of the Kingdom of Sardinia, on the surface, relieves the fear of all countries, but it is actually useless for eggs.

Regardless of the annexation of the Kingdom of Sardinia, the fears of all nations will not diminish. No action was taken, mainly for the benefit.

The interests are not enough. Without the leadership of a big country, how can a small country make a head bird?

Of course, this is just clear to the spectator. If Franz stood on Napoleon III's position, he would also choose stability, even more stable than him.

The Italian region has never been good. Even if it is to expand on the European continent and push the border to the Rhine, it has more potential for development than going to Italy.

Stabilizing the basic market will kill North Africa, relying on the national strength of France, the integration of Algeria, Tunisia, and Morocco into the country is not a problem at all.

The importance of the African continent has been seen by Napoleon III. After the succession, the pace of expansion was stepped up. Had it not been for the sardinian kingdom's distraction, it is estimated that the largest colonial area in Africa today is not Austria.

The Prime Minister Felix put forward different opinions: ”The French have made the right choice. At the current rate of cannibalism, even if the British pull back to Europe, the French can eat half of the Sardinian kingdom.

Even if the rest of the site is insured, their meals will be served in the morning and evening. Slowly the British will find that the kingdom of Sardinia is actually worth more.

As for the losses they have suffered, they can be made up elsewhere. As long as the balance between Russia, Austria, and France is not broken, the British's continental European policy has been achieved, and there is no need to count the smaller Sardinian kingdom.

It's just that the French are ambitious. Once they have occupied the Kingdom of Sardinia, I am afraid they will still plan other parts of Italy, and our troubles will be no small by then. ”

Foreign Minister Weissenberg made a shocking news: ”Maybe we can make a big deal for the French and give the Italian region to them!”

Everyone's face changed greatly, France + Italy This is completely a giant.

Chancellor of the Exchequer Carl objected: ”No, paying the entire Italian region can indeed be exchanged for the French's acquiescence to our unification of the German region, but there are also British and Russians.

The strength of the Prussian kingdom is not weak, and the German Federal Empire, which is barely unified, also has a lot of strength, and it is difficult for us to make a quick decision.

Unless the British and Russian families are brought together again, one operation is not good, that is, France and Austria jointly challenge the entire European continent, we have not much chance of winning. ”

This proposal is indeed very tempting, but unfortunately the risk is too great.

Franz is not worried that France and Austria will fail to challenge the European continent. Now the Russians are not in a strong position, and without the main force of the bear, the odds are not low.

The problem is, this is just their wishful thinking. The French may be willing to make this deal, but Napoleon III, who loves to draw the wind, may not.

In case of being pitted, it will be necessary to be ashamed, or to spit out a lot of benefits, unless ...

Can't think about it anymore, Franz immediately stopped the fantasy. The international situation did not listen to his command. Napoleon III's ambitions had just been ignited, and he had not yet reached that point.
