Chapter 562： More wayward (1/2)

The sudden Russian-Polish conflict shattered all plans of Prime Minister Donbrovsky. If one is not handled well, a full-scale war will erupt between Russia and Poland.

In this context, Poland would not have had the power to fight without the support of the Kingdom of Prussia. It can be said that the Tsarist government helped the Prussians a lot and forced the Polish government to make a compromise.

Is it so simple? The Tsar is not stupid. If there is not enough interest, why do they help their enemies?

The Polish government is still aggressive, and Franz, who is far away from Vienna, has figured out the ins and outs of the matter. It is nothing more than a secret deal between the two countries, which together divide the Kingdom of Poland.

There are no enemies in front of the interests, the Tsarist government wants to regain lost ground, the Prussians want to strengthen their strength, and both sides are eyeing the Poles.

A few years ago, the two sides beat you to death, the scars of war have not disappeared, and the two sides have joined forces again.

In the eyes of ordinary people, this may be very incredible, but the reality is so nonsense.

For the Kingdom of Prussia, it is tempting to swallow Poland alone, but the weight of the Kingdom of Poland is too large, and there are 70% to 80% of the Kingdom of Prussia. If it is swallowed, it will be stung.

In this context, the best choice is to choose and divide people to reduce the difficulty of operation and share the international pressure.

Cooperation between the Berlin government and the Russians was also forced. The three countries bordering Poland are Prussian Austria, Austria is too strong, and the Prussians dare not to do things with tigers, and would rather choose to cooperate with the enemy.

Even Franz can boldly speculate that the Prussians are ready to sell two. Perhaps at this time, someone had been contacted by the Austrian Foreign Ministry. Promise the territories that the Russians favored to Austria, and take the opportunity to stir up the contradictions between Russia and Austria.

Putting down the information in his hand, Franz ignored it. For no reason and no desire, he did not dare to be interested in Poland. Franz naturally did not care about the plot between the two countries.

Whatever their calculations, as long as Austria stays still, all conspiracy and scheming will be pale in the face of absolute power.

The more fully prepared Russia and Russia are, the worse the next war will be. If the governments of both countries are smart people, the best thing to do at this time is to pull people into the water, and it is best to pull the lively countries in Europe together.

Otherwise, neither Russia nor Russia will be the winners in the next war. Seeing the bustling Britain, France, Austria and Austria, as long as they intervene halfway, their efforts can be wasted.

Unfortunately, everyone is not a fool, and the fact that Britain, France, Austria and the United States can form an alliance shows a lot of problems. Neither Russia nor Russia is a master of diplomacy. If you want to break up the three-nation alliance and pull people to your side, it is too difficult to operate.

Austria does not want to expand in the European continent. The French have no time to fight. The British cudgel always likes to stab a knife in the back. If they want to play in person, forget it!

The three countries are not so easy to pull, and the cost of the game alone is not what the two countries can afford. The empty gloves White Wolf England, France and Austria are smoother than them.

In theory, the world hegemony between the three countries: Britain, France, Austria and Austria. There should be contradictions among the three great powers. Unfortunately, these contradictions have not yet erupted.

For example: The British ’s maritime hegemony is of great interest to both France and Austria, but unfortunately they are constrained by their strength. Neither country has challenged the strength of British maritime hegemony.

Another example: The struggle for continental hegemony in France and Austria should be dead or alive in the face of it. In reality, Austria's lack of interest in continental hegemony is basically too lazy to fight; the French are busy dealing with internal issues and temporarily ignore European hegemony.

In the overseas colonial movement, all three countries were vested interests. If we stab each other, the cost of maintaining colonies will increase by a lot. If the three countries compromise, everyone can save a lot of money.

As long as the three countries, Britain, France, and Austria, do not stab each other, even if other countries want to fish in troubled waters, they must consider whether they can bear the consequences of exposure.

There is no need to look at the current conflict between Britain, France, Austria and the three colonies, which has been more restrained than before the three countries' alliance. At least there were no more colonial expeditions with hundreds of people, and the army was completely obscured.

Now that negotiations between Britain, France, Austria, and the three countries on the division of colonial power have begun, according to the current progress, there will be a result in about one or two years, and the conflict in the overseas colonization activities of the three countries will further decrease.

It wasn't Franz or Napoleon III who drove it all, but John Bull as a cuckoo.

Everyone opens colonies to make money, not to lose money and make money. The British have the most colonies, and the number of conflicts overseas and with countries is also the highest.

In the late 19th century, the maintenance costs of the major colonial empires rose sharply. If we continue to fight like this, everyone will not have to make money.

For his own benefit, John Bull must also establish a set of rules and regulations to restrict countries' colonial activities abroad, so that everyone will not stab each other every day and cannot make money happily.

Of course, this is limited to the land that is acknowledged. No one will show mercy when it comes to fierce competition in the unowned colony.

This international pattern is completely different from the original space-time. The main international contradiction in Europe now is the contradiction between Russia and Russia.

In contrast, the contradictions between Britain and Austria, the conflict between Britain and France, and the conflict between France and Austria have all become secondary contradictions. The fact that Britain, France, Austria and the United States can form an alliance proves that the common interests of the three countries have outweighed the contradictions.

John Bull wants continental balance, not continental darkness.

War means uncertainty, and no one can guarantee the final situation in order to provoke war without any certainty.

What if the situation is out of control and you hit a giant? Napoleon's lesson learned was not far away, and that one was almost successful.

Now that the two countries are restraining each other, and the two countries are hostile to each other, the European continent is just in a delicate balance.

No matter what happens in any country, it can cause chain reactions. In the last Near East war, the British were told with facts that it would be costly to easily intervene in the Continental War.

From the perspective of the British, it is best that the situation in continental Europe is so balanced. Conflicts have arisen in various countries, and they just have to be arbiters.

...

On May 18, 1874, the Tsarist government issued a diplomatic note to the Kingdom of Poland, ordering the Polish government to surrender the ”killers in the border conflict” within 24 hours and ceding the Kiev region to compensate the Russian Empire.

Such conditions are obviously not acceptable to the Polish government. The prime minister of East Brovsky was furious, but he was powerless.
