Chapter 446： Development of BiH (1/2)

On April 6, 1869, the weather in Stockholm was exceptionally clear, and among the laughter of the people, the Nordic Federation was established.

Following the collapse of the Kalmar alliance, the three Nordic countries have once again completed their unification. The only regret is the absence of Finland, the absence of the Baltic Sea region, and the glory of its peak.

The emergence of the Nordic Federation also means that Sweden, Denmark, and Norway, the three European fringe countries, can make their own voices in the world.

Franz didn't go to observe the ceremony in person, it was really inconvenient to travel far in this era. Unless it is the lively master who loves to join together, in general, everyone's enthusiasm for going abroad is not high.

Nordic unification has little effect on Austria, and the headache is the Russians. Presumably at this time Alexander II's expression must be very exciting. With the appearance of the Nordic Federation, the defense pressure of Russia's northern Xinjiang can increase a lot.

With Prussia's role model, who can guarantee that the Nordic Federation will not follow suit? If you come again and dig Finland out, the Russian Empire will have to move its capital.

St. Petersburg is indeed a good place, but unfortunately the pressure on defense is a little bit heavier. It doesn't matter when the Russian Empire is strong. Once it is in a state of decline, it is dangerous.

In contrast, Moscow is much better. Located in the center of Russian and Eastern European lands, it is basically absolutely safe strategically. When the enemies hit here, they will be finished in winter.

There are granaries around the Moscow area, so don't worry about food. There are also rivers for convenient transportation of materials, which is considered convenient, and it is perfect to build a few more railways.

Of course, Poland did not lose the front, there is sea transportation, and St. Petersburg has even more advantages. Moscow still needs to develop, at least moving the capital to build a railway network.

Alexander II certainly did not think so much. Under the dual suppression of politics and military, he has now compressed the rebels in the Moscow region.

After this toss, the economy of the Moscow region has been devastated. The bourgeoisie in support of the Revolutionary Party lifted a rock and smashed their feet.

It is easy to start an uprising, but difficult to control it. Originally, I supported the Revolutionary Party just to fight for rights and interests. Now that I haven't obtained the rights, I have taken part in them first.

The civil war broke out. In the face of life and death, the Revolutionary Party did not treat them with mercy, expropriation, or white bars.

In short, they lost a lot. Unless the rebels win, these up-front investments are likely to be recovered.

If the rebels fail, it will be a question of whether these people can escape the purge of the Tsarist government. Alexander II was not small-minded, but could not tolerate a thief.

Such a negative example, Franz naturally wants to hype. Recently, the news of the Moscow rebels in the Vienna newspaper has suddenly increased, and the position determines the point of view.

The stain of the rebels was naturally magnified, and incidentally it also beautified the tsarist government. Everyone is a monarchy and their butts cannot sit crooked.

Otherwise, Alexander II lost the Pu-Russian war and has long been the endorsement of the monk. How could it be mixed with the title of Lord of Reform?

Not only Austria, most European media did not hold the pot of the failed war on Alexander II's head, but the bureaucracy washed away by him carried the blame.

Including the news of the Prussian war, it also deliberately or unconsciously downplayed the Kingdom of Prussia, emphasizing the corruption of the Russian bureaucracy leading to the failure of the war. Obviously, everyone is still unwilling to accept the fact that Prussia's rise.

Although the Kingdom of Prussia defeated the Russian Empire and became a member of the European Powers Club, they did not replace the Russians.

Originally, Europe was dominated by the four major powers. Now the Russians are out, and the three major powers of Britain, France, and Austria have dominated Europe. The Kingdom of Prussia has not obtained the desired international status.

The international status in this era is not just status, but also the division of interests. As vested interests, Britain, France, Austria and Austria did not mean to distribute power to Prussia.

This hurts the Berlin government. Britain, France and Austria can be regarded as world empires. Everyone has large colonies, and they have divided the world together with Spain, Portugal, and the Netherlands.

As a new rising power, Prussia was embarrassed. It is now the last bus of the colonial era. The old colonial empire has completed its horse race enclosure. Even if there is no actual occupation, the sovereignty is sworn in first.

Even the Prussians were left with the lingering cruelty. Except for a small colony in Asia, Prussian figures could not be seen.

It was very bad for the Prussian kingdom to restore its economy after the war. However, the world is so big that there really is no stay.

There was also a colonial conference that divided the African continent in space and time, and it is no longer needed. It's going to be divided up and cleaned up. What international conference is needed?

At least in the coastal areas, most of the areas were occupied by Britain, France and Austria, Portugal and Spain also occupied some areas, and the Netherlands was squeezed out.

It will not be necessary to say that the colony has been abandoned. There is not much land to colonize at all. Moreover, they do not have the strength to invest overseas, and it is not bad to be able to keep a small colony in the Indochina Peninsula.

In desperation, Prussia can only develop itself. The arrival of the Japanese delegation at this time was welcomed by the Berlin government.

Mosquitoes are as small as meat. Even adding an overseas trading partner may promote the development of the domestic economy.

The Berlin government took the opportunity to sell a lot of products to the flattered Japanese delegation, the best-selling of which was second-hand weapons and equipment.
