Chapter 950: Cannon Fodder Mobilization (1/2)
Franz just smiled at the Russian fairy's mind. In fact, this kind of whimsical plan has always been emerging in real life.
Politicians are also human beings. Since they are human beings, they sometimes get confused. Especially when interests are involved, the probability of being confused is even greater.
On the surface, the Russians, under the banner of an ally, took the lead in occupying France. Austria is indeed powerless, but the Vienna government can drag it!
There is no way to forcefully divide France, and there is no way to delay the negotiation time. If one year doesn’t work, then two years, if two years don’t work, then three years and five years. Can the Russian army live in peace with the French people over time?
Austria can definitely watch the excitement. After the Russians' dingy withdrawal, they will consider dealing with the French problem.
If it were not for the trouble of coordinating the relations between Britain, France and Russia, and there is almost no possibility of success, Franz would really like to push, and then slowly appreciate the game between Tsarist Fist and French nationalism.
”Give power to the troops on the front line so that they can end the war as soon as possible. The soldiers are still waiting to come back for Christmas!”
Now it’s only July, and Christmas is almost five months away. It’s not difficult to simply defeat the French, but time is tight to sign a treaty before Christmas and then withdraw.
Under normal circumstances, such post-war meetings involving the interests of multiple countries are usually noisy, and it may be delayed for two or three years.
There is no doubt that Franz does not want to continue to drag on. There are various signs that the Hanoverian government has become active again, behind which there are British shadows.
You must know that internal enemies are far more terrible than external enemies. Once these guys are allowed to move the interest groups of various states, the trouble will be great.
Franz doesn't want to test humanity, humanity is the least reliable in the face of interests. The most important thing is to create established facts as soon as possible.
With this status, Franz is not afraid of these guys making noise. Can't move the king below, can't change the state government? Whoever dares to jump out and do things, collect black material and get him down.
As long as the military, tariffs, diplomacy, and currency-issuing powers of various states are gathered, and justice, culture and education are unified, no matter how much noise there is, there will be no big waves.
Today is different from the past. In order to gather these powers, the governments of the following states under Franz had battled wits and courage for more than ten years, and only got them bit by bit. Now it can be done in one step.
As for the conflict of the state government, it can be resolved through negotiation. As long as the interests are right, there is nothing to lose.
Fooling, buying and wooing, coercion and temptation, Franz has long been familiar with these routines. Anyway, the core is to kill the enemy while drawing in allies.
Compared to killing chickens and monkeys, sometimes the effect of killing monkeys and chickens is better. The more you dance now, the faster you will die in the future.
Franz didn't worry about someone making a fuss, the most worried thing was that these guys did nothing. After all, only the more you do, the more problems will be exposed.
If there is that kind of innocent politician, in fact, Franz can't do anything, after all, the emperor also has to talk about the rules of the game.
However, this kind of people who are committed to the public will not become an obstacle to unity. After all, after this war, the idea of great unification has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
...
With an order from Franz, the war ignited again, and there was no single inch of pure land from Central Europe to Southern Europe.
The Southern Front Coalition Command and representatives of various Italian states have gathered together to participate in this conference of great political and military significance.
Since ancient times, the Italian region has been full of princes, and the chaos of the situation is second only to the German region. Now that the German region is about to be unified, the Italian region also needs to be sorted out.
In the past, in order to unite all forces that can be united, for the purpose of wooing Italian nationalists, the Vienna government has never publicly stated its position on the disposal of the Italian region.
Now that the overall situation is set, there is no need to delay it. A clear conclusion is needed at this time whether to form the Kingdom of Italy in partnership or to split the family into several states directly.
In a sense, this meeting is a cutscene. The big figures who are eligible to participate in the meeting know the intentions of the Vienna government.
Everyone has no objection, except that the arms are not over the thighs, and the more important thing is the distribution of benefits. It is easy to establish a unified kingdom of Italy. The question is who should be the leader?
Let alone the specific distribution of benefits, the ownership of the light crown is a difficult problem.
In the past, the Italian independent organization was dominated. Although the organization was fragmented, there was a nominal leader Vittorio Emanuele III.
Now it's different. The royal families of all states are mixed in. No one is more noble than anyone, and behind these people are a group of interest groups, and no one can give in.
Since we can't agree, we can only fly solo. It’s never been unified anyway, and it’s no big deal to play separately.
