Chapter 464: When the night is quiet (2/2)
If in the end there is no loss of both, and the two sides will win and lose in a short time, Europe will be the largest.
One more anti-French war, or an anti-Olympic war? Except for the whimsical party, everyone else has no hope.
The Russian Empire and Prussia + Poland have completely confronted each other. The power of hatred has prevented them from joining together. The remaining countries may not have enough power.
At that time, Britain can only go into battle again. Now the anti-war sentiment in Britain is high. The wars in the past dozen years have made the British people very disgusted with war.
Macleans is not an idealist and does not think that European countries should follow their script. Whether it was Napoleon III or Franz, their main achievements were political.
Encountering such an opponent is more difficult than Napoleon. What if the operation is not good and the hatred of the two countries is full, instead of killing each other, France and Austria will directly kill them?
We need to know that the French-Austrian alliance has not been disbanded. This alliance is not aimed at them, but who else can it target?
Joining this alliance and re-dividing France and Austria are the best strategies.
If you can't do the latter, you have to take a step back. The three nations join forces to dominate the world. Britain only needs to find a way to become the leader of the alliance.
It can be said that the British have considered all issues comprehensively, and the only trouble now is how to convince France and Austria to agree to form an alliance.
Macleans was thinking that the original plan had failed. What interests can now be bought out to buy the two countries, and the interests of Britain can be protected to the greatest extent.
It is impossible to cut their own flesh, at best it is to be generous to others, and to sacrifice the interests of other countries to achieve their goals is what they are best at.
It was late, and Macleans went to sleep in his calculations. In the dream, he completed this diplomatic game, which established Britain's world supremacy and became the greatest prime minister in British history.
...
It wasn't just Macleans who had a headache for the Three Kingdoms League. The Palace of Versailles was brightly lit. Napoleon III was also worried about this issue.
Don't think that pro-British will not be anti-British. In the face of interests, the positions of politicians can change at any time.
Napoleon III, who lived in Britain, knew very well that the British were terrible, and even suffered from phobia.
Time always dilutes everything. Over a decade of emperor life, Napoleon III's fear of the British gradually faded.
France is far from comparable then, and the gap between the strength of the British and the British is actually not large. But Napoleon III's fear of the British was never diminished.
Obviously the British are a naval power, and although the threat to France is great, it has not yet reached the point where it can be lethal. If they fight together, the French can still be hurt by both defeats.
On the contrary, Austria, which is also an army power, may pose a fatal threat to France, but Napoleon III had full confidence in Austria and was not so afraid of it at all.
Deep-rooted ideas are also an important factor in determining the direction of politics.
Just like Russia in later generations, it is clear that the comprehensive national strength has fallen behind, but in everyone's consciousness, it is still the second largest country in the world. Instead ...
The problem is that Franz was similar to Napoleon III. He also dreaded the British, but did not take the French as a lethal threat.
What about being an army power? In my heart, I do n’t want to persuade. Anyway, geographical location determines that it is difficult for France and Austria to reach each other's core areas.
The Albis mountain range is not suitable for military operations, which means that it cannot be beaten from the Italian region, let alone the other side.
Throughout the two world wars, the Germans attacked France from Belgium, and knew that the southern region was not suitable for army operations.
Bypassing Belgium can mean that both sides must cross Prussia at the same time so that the two sides can fight.
Although Europe does not have allusions to false deeds, the Berlin government still dares not to excuse them. Of course, even if they are willing to make excuses, no one dares.
Unless Belgium and the Rhineland are occupied first, it would not be tragedy for the army to be cut off immediately after it has passed.
Because they do not regard each other as a threat, France and Austria have formed an alliance in the common interest. Both sides are confident waiting for the completion of the strategic layout before slowly overwhelming each other.
It is not enough to deal with the British. Neither the Austrian navy nor the French navy has suppressed the strength of the Royal Navy. The most optimistic estimate is to lose both.
This is also the reason why the relationship between Britain and France did not make further alliances after the recovery of Napoleon III.
Now is no exception. France and Austria both regard the British as their worst enemy, and the British hold the same attitude. It is not easy to make alliances with your enemies.
Taking a sip of freshly ground coffee, Napoleon III sighed. He didn't want to turn his face with the British, but John Bull was stopping him from annexing Italy.
Deep down, Napoleon III has already made a decision. If the British would acquiesce in the expansion of France, then everyone would form an alliance, otherwise they would not need to talk.
If the alliance does not bring benefits to France, then it will not play with the British.
