Chapter 846： prelude (2/2)
Seeing that everyone had unified their positions, Franz smiled slightly: ”Then things are settled, the Ministry of Finance is responsible for giving the Russians an explanation.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs secretly contacted the French to facilitate this Central Asian melee and weaken Britain and Russia as much as possible. ”
...
Austria is in action, and the British are not idle. They were all forced to fight against three major powers at the same time, and the British government was also under great pressure.
Enemies of enemies are friends. They may not be all applicable in international struggles, but they can be effective in a single incident.
The marine civilization endowed the British with a sense of crisis and found that after confronting Russia, France and Austria at the same time, the British government began to seek a solution.
Russia and Austria have held a group for many years, and it is unrealistic to want the support of Austria. The British government set the goal on the French.
On March 1, 1888, British Foreign Secretary George visited Paris. The London government has very high expectations, and Sir George has publicly stated that this is an ice-breaking journey between Britain and France.
Napoleon IV was unwelcome to unexpected visitors. The reason for this is to look at the Palace of Versailles not far away.
Due to the destruction of the Paris Revolution, only 70% of the Palace of Versailles has been restored to this day, and the rest is still under construction.
The British happened to be the culprit that triggered the Paris revolution. Even after the revolution was suppressed, many of the heads of the Revolutionary Party were sent by the British.
National hatred family hate together, Napoleon IV naturally has no affection for the British, to be precise, neither the British and Austrian black hands.
During the routine welcome banquet, Napoleon IV was absent for no reason. This should be regarded as the first time since the era of Napoleon III, the French emperor did not give the British face.
In addition to the deterioration of diplomatic relations, more often the strength comparison between Britain and France has changed.
France, the world's first army power and the world's second navy power, no longer recognizes the hegemony of the British.
In particular, the younger generation in France, including Napoleon IV himself, has no awe for the British, and some are just eager to try.
It just confirms that sentence: whoever is the world overlord has the most enemies in the world.
...
At the Palace of Versailles, Napoleon IV asked with a sullen face: ”The British have come to the door, what do you think they want from us?”
If you are unhappy with the British, your diplomatic activities should still be carried out normally. Whether you can talk about the results or not, in the final analysis, depends on the interests, not the personal perceptions.
Foreign Minister Karel Kadletz: ”Your Majesty, the British are in a hurry.
The Russians were eager to try in Central Asia. The war was on the verge, and there was a shadow of Austria behind it.
If the situation is out of control, it is likely that Russia and Austria will jointly expand to India.
If no one can be found to contain Austria, the British will fight against Russia and Austria alone. Even if they can win in the end, they will lose a lot, and even lose India. ”
The battle for colonies not only depends on the appearance of victory and defeat, but also considers the issue of colonial rule.
Especially in densely populated areas like India, once nationalist ideas are imported, the cost of governance will be beyond imagination.
There is no morale in the game of the great powers, and things that do harm to others and do harm to others are often done by everyone.
Prime Minister Terrence Burgin sneered: ”That's just the trouble of the British. Russia and Austria cannot swallow India even if they are united.
The British have been operating in the Indian region for so many years, and even if they can't keep it up, they can spur local independence.
The Austrians should not have such illusions, but the Russians are not sure, but they have the Yellow Russia plan.
India should be easier to get started than the Far East Empire. The greed of the Tsarist government will not give up as long as there is a chance.
Because of the relationship between the Russian-Austrian alliance, even if Austria does not go on its own, it will not prevent the Russians from expanding to India.
This is also our opportunity, we can sit in the mountains and watch the tigers, maybe we can pick up some cheaper.
What we need to do now is to compare the quotations of all parties and choose the party with the most benefits to join. ”
Terence Burgin's opinion can be said to represent the mainstream of the French government. Everyone hates the British and is not fake, but neither will they live with their interests.
As long as the British bid high enough, everything is possible.
After hesitating for a while, Napoleon IV nodded and expressed his approval of this view.
The slight sorrow between Meiyu still saw that he was not so willing. There is no way, the interests are still the first among countries.
