Regardless of whether or not, since the French declared war on Belgium, Leopold II could only keep up.
Without declaring such a thing without a skin, Leopold II could not do it, and the Belgian people would not agree.
On September 28, 1890, in a panic, the Belgian government released electricity to publicly declare war on France.
There is no doubt that this telegram was not only for the French, but more for Austria.
It seems to be saying: Boss and younger brother are on, now it's up to you.
On the afternoon of the same day, Franz gave an anti-aggression speech at the Imperial Parliament, denounced France's shameless behavior, and then the delegates unanimously passed a bill to declare war on France.
The following day, Franz published the ”Book of the People of France” in the Vienna Palace, which listed a bunch of war consequences and called on the French people to stand up against the war of aggression launched by the government.
There is no doubt that such an advisory document has no effect at all, and it has already declared war. Naturally, it is impossible to listen to him with a few slurs and close it.
Of course, if the Italians are barely included in the French people, then this political show is the perfect level.
After the announcement was issued, Rome broke out in anti-war and anti-aggression movements, and quickly spread to many Italian cities. If it were not for the Italian independent organization to be too incompetent, it might be another people ’s uprising.
On September 29, 1890, the French government declared war on Austria, and the French invasion of Belgium and Luxembourg on the same day opened the prelude to the European War.
In the Hanover Palace, George I was cursing at the moment: ”Damn British liar, all a group of children ...”
It can be seen from the expression that George I was miserable by the British.
The strength of the German Federation is not weak, and there is an Austria behind it, joining the security guarantees promised by the British. George I mistakenly believed that the French target this time is Belgium.
In this context, George I will naturally encourage Austria to hide behind and watch the show.
In order to drag Austria into the water and the establishment of the anti-French alliance, George I actively cooperated.
After continuing to sign the covenant, he thought that the overall situation had been fixed, and with the constant flickering of the British, George I began to work passively.
Anyway, the German Federation is very chaotic, and the slow movements are justified. I am not afraid of allies being held accountable.
In addition to his appearance, George I did not urge all states to expand their arms and prepare for war. Allies urged him to push forward to the Imperial Parliament.
After the two countries declared war on the French, George I secretly celebrated the success of the plan. Who knew that the French did not even let them go to the theater.
Hiding is impossible, because of the butterfly effect, Luxembourg is still a member of the German Federation and has not gone out independently.
As the ”Gibraltar of the North”, such a strategic place as Luxembourg, the French cannot naturally let it go.
Otherwise, the French could only cry when the Germans were killed from Luxembourg when the war had reached a critical moment.
Facts have proved that the British guarantees are not valuable on the French side. Regardless of whether or not the German Confederation entered the war, the French had already started anyway.
Unless George I can sit back and watch the fall of Luxembourg, they will fight this war.
”Your Majesty, breathe anger! The British will settle their affairs in the future, and it is imperative to mobilize as soon as possible to ensure the safety of the western land.
At the same time, strengthen ties with allies, eliminate previous misunderstandings, and find ways to win this war. ”Prime Minister Aval said
Ignoring the Prime Minister, George I asked, ”What did the British say? If something like this happened, shouldn't they give us an explanation?”
The central government of the German Federal Government dominated by Hanover is pro-British from top to bottom, and even the most pro-Austrian factions in the German Federation are very few here.
The traditional friendship between English and Chinese has a long history. For a long period of time, both countries have a common monarch. For the past 100 years, the two countries have been the closest allies.
Now that this is happening, the impact on George I can be imagined, and even the Prime Minister with pro-British leaders is gone.
”The British government said it was a misunderstanding, and they are communicating with France, let us keep calm first.” Foreign Minister Wei Delunde replied anxiously
It can indeed be regarded as a misunderstanding. At least the two countries have not declared war on each other. In theory, there is a possibility of mediation.
Calmness is impossible. The French are attacking the Luxembourg area. George I can calm down, but the frontline officers and soldiers can't calm down.
No matter how pro-British, George I is not a fool. If the British government strongly announces its intervention, he can wait and see, and misunderstand the misunderstanding, which is a fool.
”Misunderstanding a ghost, is the French army going to Luxembourg to go on holiday?
Tell the British that if the French do not withdraw from the German area within 24 hours, then war!
