France and Russia have secretly contacted, and Britain and Austria have not broken contact. It's just that everyone is ignorant and pretending not to see it.

If it is true, then there will be no friends.

In the late 19th century, international relations have become a mess. France and Austria are opposed on the issue of China and Europe, but on the issue of Central Asia they are also in agreement.

Although their motives are different, the two goals are to provoke the Anglo-Russian war and weaken the strength of the competitors.

On the other hand, looking at Britain and Russia is similar, Central Asia is about to fight, and the two sides have almost the same position on the issue of China and Europe: let France and Austria pinch each other.

Although it was known that France and Russia had secretly frowned, the news of the French issuing bonds for the Russians still caused strong dissatisfaction from the British government.

The Gladstone Prime Minister frowned and asked, ”Issuing bonds for the Russians at this time, what does the French want to do?”

The timing is too sensitive. It was okay to issue bonds for the Russians earlier and later, but it was too obvious to choose the right time to reverse the face between Britain and Russia.

Foreign Minister George explained: “The French are retaliating. We promised to support their expansion into Central Europe, but when the French were seeking coal interests in the two countries, the government chose neutrality.”

Is it really just ”neutral”?

the answer is negative!

If the British government did not push the waves and secretly drag the French, the European anti-French wave would not be so easy to break out.

Perhaps in the opinion of the British government, there is no direct opposition, it is regarded as the greatest support for France.

Secretly cheering up the two countries and passing on a warning to the French government that these behind-the-scenes behaviors are professional habits, and they are nothing.

Faced with such allies, the French government's response was not intense, and that was the problem.

Originally used for mutual use, no one really regards the other party as an ally, it is not surprising that they secretly pit one.

In fact, the British dug the pit from the beginning. Supporting the French ’s “expansion of sphere of influence” does not mean supporting the French ’s expansion of territory. These are two very different concepts.

Perhaps during negotiations, the diplomats will be vague or verbally promised to scorn people. But what fell on the paper, absolutely did not support the French to expand their territory to Central Europe.

The French Empire is now very strong, and let them expand to make up for the last short board, and there will be a new round of power surge.

Britain and France are only separated by a strait, so that France will continue to grow, and Britain will really not be able to sleep.

Prime Minister Gladstone rubbed his forehead. This explanation left him speechless, standing on Britain's stand and pulling the hind legs of the French without any problems.

The Anglo-French feud has been for centuries, and it cannot be resolved with a single covenant. Containing the expansion of France has always been the top priority of the British government.

Although Russia and Austria are also enemies, the British government's personal experience is not deep because of distance.

If it were not for the Tsarist government to focus on Central Asia, threatening India ’s security, the two countries would not directly face each other.

After hesitating for a while, Prime Minister Gladstone asked: ”Find a way to find something for the French.

They should not be allowed to sit idle, lest they hinder us, and at the same time they must contain Austria. ”

To meet these two requirements, it can only let France and Austria pinch each other. Provoking divisiveness has always been a good thing for the British.

With the current relationship between France and Austria, it seems that there is no need to continue to provoke, as long as the conflict is intensified.

After thinking about it, Foreign Minister George nodded: ”No problem, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will find something for them as soon as possible.

Only in this way, the two countries are completely pushed to the side of Austria. With the ability of the Habsburg dynasty to pull allies, the French may be at a loss. ”

Faw was pinched just for the two countries. Once the contradiction escalated, the two countries, the center of the storm, could not escape.

Even because the French government did not pay attention to eating, it caused their international reputation to drop again. As their neighbors, it is impossible not to worry.

In this context, once the situation in Europe is tense, even if Austria does not move, European countries will push Austria to check out the French.

Without the outbreak of war, France and Austria will fight, and the weak French government will definitely suffer.

As for the real fight, George cannot judge the result. After all, the French are very famous, and Austria has a lot of strength and many potential allies.

Prime Minister Gladstone sneered: ”How can we know our importance without letting them suffer?”

As soon as the covenant was concluded, he hurriedly reached out to Central Europe without even knowing a good time.

The French have been so smooth over the years that they have become oblivious and arrogant. ”

...

Compared to the British government, in fact, Franz is more nervous about the closeness of France and Russia.

This is determined by the geographical location. Austria is sandwiched between France and Russia. Once France and Russia are close, Austria is strategically in danger.

Only with a few more historical lessons, Franz chose to remain silent temporarily, pretending not to know anything.

Not only did it not interrupt the loans to Russia, retaliated against the two ends of the tsarist government's snake rat, but also suppressed the government's voice to Russia.

”What happened to the Russians has come to an end temporarily. No matter what the tsarist government has done, now we have done nothing.
