Chapter 412： win-win (1/2)
The ”Treaty Six Treaty” is clearly invisible. If the news that France and Austria join forces to divide up the European continent is spread, the London government should not go crazy?
To maintain balance in the European continent is not such a balancing act. If the French Empire and the Great Shinra Empire appeared, the European continent would be a triad. Because by then, it is likely that a fourth country will not be found in continental Europe.
Like the Pandora's Box, once the ambition is opened, it is difficult to retrieve it.
Napoleon not only left the French with a brilliant record, but also a great country dream. With the sensitivity of the French people, once the enthusiasm for expansion has been mobilized, most of Italy and Belgium cannot meet their desires.
Plus Spain and Portugal aren't too much, right? At that time, Napoleon occupied the Spanish region and must inherit this fine tradition!
Under the background of the French unifying Western Europe and Austria unifying the German region, can Switzerland and the Netherlands between the two giants have any choice?
Either take the initiative to join the party or be forcibly annexed. This is the fate of a small country.
The three Nordic countries that are separated should not want to be alone. For strategic reasons, the Russians will not let them go.
With all three major powers expanding outward, the British can only be dumbfounded. If you want to interfere, you can't interfere. Maybe everyone will clear them before turning their faces.
Even the three nations have the basis for alliance. After the expansion is completed, it will definitely take time to digest, which means that it will not be able to fight on the European continent in the short term.
Then the British, who have the most colonies in the world, are in danger. You ca n’t run into alliances with Americans, and alliances are useless!
Of course, the chance of this happening is very small. After the annexation of Italy and Belgium, France's internal contradictions must be dealt with, and it has no ability to continue to expand.
Not to mention Austria, Franz in the unified German region just shouted and divided up the European continent. Is this awake?
Nationalism has now awakened, and the unification of the German region is almost the end of Austria's expansion in continental Europe.
However, the limitations of the times, many people think that after Austria unified the German region, it will continue to expand.
The reason is very simple: Belgium, Switzerland, and the Netherlands were all separated from the Holy Roman Empire and belonged to the same cultural circle. The radical Germans counted them all.
In order not to arouse everyone's panic and ensure the smooth implementation of the plan, France and Austria have chosen high confidentiality by coincidence. Many people know the existence of this treaty, and few people know the content of the treaty.
Austria knows only three treaties are easy, the Prime Minister, the Foreign Minister and Franz himself, and France is almost the same.
In recent years, France's economic development has been good. Napoleon III's throne has also stabilized, and people's calls for the establishment of France have been rising.
This is definitely the voice of the French people, Franz at most just guided. This is evidence: The former Emperor Napoleon III did a very good job, only because he was defeated and could not satisfy the people's dream of a great country.
Compared to the two-time losing streak of the original owner, he still secured the throne, and the desire of the French people for the great power can be seen.
It was not Napoleon III who actually contributed to the alliance between France and Austria, but the majority of the French people. The shouts they made inadvertently put pressure on the emperor. Since the elected emperor, Napoleon III naturally respects the choices of the people.
On June 8, 1866, the foreign ministries of France and Austria signed a ”Case of Sovereignty between Italy and the Balkans and Partial Colonies of France and Austria”.
This is a cover for the Treaty of June 6 and there are only territorial sovereignty deals under Articles 3 and 4. Anyway, this can't be hidden. Once the two countries begin to transfer, they will all be exposed.
It can be traded in Europe, let alone sovereignty and colonies? If you want to deal with me, at most, the British will be upset and make some sales for the newspaper.
Conrad Holman is the editor of the Austrian Daily and occasionally asks current affairs commentators to make some official comments.
Of course, as a commercial newspaper, such opinions are usually very vague, and they are generally attacked from the side.
The news of the territorial trade case between France and Austria just came back, and Conrad Holman's job came. There is no doubt that this kind of news is to sing praises!
Turning his pen, Conrad Holman was lost in thought. The news must be eye-catching. For the highly commercialized Vienna Daily, direct official articles are not pleasing.
With so many people writing, how can uniformity ensure newspaper sales? The Vienna Daily is a major newspaper with a daily sales of 100,000. It will be a readership if you play like this.
Looking at the globe blown by the wind on the table, Conrad moved his brain and raised his pen to write on the paper.
Title: Thoughts on the Colonial and Sovereignty Transaction of France and Austria——Cooperation and Win-Win
This is no longer news, but a dissertation. Commercial newspapers, as long as they comply with Austrian law, ensure that the news is authentic and reliable. There are not so many requirements on how to publish the content.
Conrad talked directly from the international competition, listed a few historical cases, and then compared the two countries' treatment plans.
Finally, it is concluded that cooperation can be a win-win situation. By the way, he praised the efforts of the governments of France and Austria for world peace.
From the standpoint of France and Austria, this transaction is indeed a win-win situation.
The French paid part of the colony in exchange for absolute right to speak in central and southern Italy, laying the foundation for swallowing Italy.
In the Mediterranean strategy, the French took the initiative. With control of Sicily and Tunisia, the French could bisect the Mediterranean when necessary.
The British strategic layout in Malta was abolished, and the strategic value of this Mediterranean heart was greatly reduced. Unless the era of aircraft comes, it will be able to play the role expected by Britain again.
