Chapter 1134: Bait (2/2)
It may be criticized by experts and scholars, or it may open up a new art genre. Anyway, the future is full of uncertainty.
What determines all this is not art, but politics. The essence of art is public acceptance, and the prerequisite for public acceptance requires a social background.
When you open the history book, you will find that in the course of human development, the popular art and culture in different periods are different.
The lower Liba people and Yangchun Baixue are both part of art, and in essence there is no distinction between superior and inferior. It's nothing more than different social status in different periods.
Today’s lower-class society may become the upper-class society tomorrow; today’s upper-class art may become a marginal culture tomorrow.
If the hegemony of the Holy Roman Empire can last for a hundred years, this is the immortal achievement of promoting the integration of Eastern and Western cultures and the process of human integration.
On the contrary, the hegemony of the Holy Roman Empire was short-lived, and then there was no and then, directly disappeared in the long river of history.
As an emperor, especially the emperor who led a declining empire to its peak again, it is bound to be deeply interpreted by later generations.
Time urges people to grow old. Looking at his grandchildren who can form a football team, Franz found himself really old.
At Franz's age, if it weren't for the European royal family's habit of getting married late, now the fourth generation has come out, and maybe the fifth generation will come out.
Fortunately, the family background is rich. If you put so many people in an ordinary family, it is not a lot of money.
Regardless of the fact that many families have more than a dozen in their lives, half of them can really raise adults, and that proves that the family can survive.
”Father, the Russians have sent troops to India!”
Frederick's voice sounded, pulling Franz out of his mood.
”Oh, it seems that the little guy Nicholas II's qi training is still not enough, and we have not yet agreed to their terms!”
Franz, who died of three generations of czars and became an antique of the European royal family, is now qualified to tease juniors.
It seems to be an understatement, but in fact Franz is already thinking. The impact of Russia's dispatch of troops to India is not even slight.
In the short term, it does help speed up the pace of winning the war, but the Russians also want to eat meat.
In the style of a bear, after eating it in his stomach, he didn't vomit it again. If it were other places, Franz would have done so.
But India is different. It may be a burden in the future, but now it is a rare and prosperous place.
If you let it go, who knows how much territory the Russian army can occupy before the end of the war?
Although the Vienna government was not prepared to colonize India, it did not mean to abandon the Indian market, especially not letting this market fall into the hands of the Russians.
Otherwise, the tsarist government can get rid of its financial difficulties by relying on the wealth plundered from India, and at the same time rely on the Indian market to improve its industrialization system and grow stronger.
The Russian Empire, which has no shortcomings, is really terrible. Although ”born in sorrow and death in happiness”, Franz is still not prepared to leave a huge pit for future generations.
After wandering for a few steps, it seemed that something came to mind. Franz looked at Frederick and asked, ”How are you going to respond?”
It is obviously impossible to prevent the Russians from sending troops to grab territory. The Russian Empire is only an ally of Shinra, not a younger brother. It is not so obedient.
As an ally, attacking the enemy is beyond blame. Even if there are restrictions, the Vienna government cannot use it indiscriminately for the stability of the Continental Alliance.
If your allies are disobedient, the overlord will also have to worry, especially the quasi-overlord who has rivals, think twice before acting.
If the operation is not good, the rules of the game are violated, and the public anger is committed, the Vienna government will also be unable to eat.
If you don’t take action and allow the Russians to grow bigger, it’s even worse.
It is not easy to deal with, and it must be dealt with. Franz threw the question to Frederick, just to see how far his heirs had grown.
”Speed up the pace of the war, end the war before the Russians occupy India, and talk to the British when necessary.
In the long run, the British are far less threatening than the Russians. As long as they take away their colonies, the British Isles will support a second-rate country at best. ”
After a pause, Frederick added: ”In order to avoid direct confrontation with the Russians and affect the current battle against Britain, we can also form a European Union Army and advance from Persia to India under the banner of the alliance.
In the future, we will share the interests of India with other European countries, and if we encounter controversies and wrangling issues, we will encourage Europe.
When necessary, we provoke the contradiction between the European world and the Russians and draw European countries together to restrict the Russian Empire. ”
The first operation can only be regarded as satisfactory, and the latter plan is the essence of Franz-style diplomacy.
Many people from the outside world only saw the diplomatic skills of the Vienna government, but they ignored how much benefits the Vienna government had taken to share with its allies.
Regardless of whether there are any pits in it, the benefits have been taken out after all. Indigestion after eating it is your own problem, and you cannot blame the Vienna government for giving too much.
If it were not for sharing, there would not be the current Holy Roman Empire. But the biggest feature of this sharing is to grasp the ”degree”.
For this ”degree”, many times seemingly silly things must be done.
But this operation is very complicated. If the pit is not dug in the right place, and other people do not fall, but jump in by themselves, then it will be really a shame.
Franz nodded: ”Sharing is not enough. If you want European countries to make a lot of effort, you must spend your money.
It can be clearly told that the empire will not seek colonies in India. After the war, we will rebuild the international order, clarify the sphere of influence of each country, and ensure that everyone’s colonies are not threatened by foreign forces.
The distribution of spoils is still the old rule. According to the contribution in the war, those interested in India can now rely on their own means. ”
Ambition is stimulating. If Shenluo wants to grab India, no other country will have any chance except the Russians.
Merely promising to share the benefits is too vain and can't mobilize everyone's enthusiasm.
It's different if you throw out the whole of India. Even if European countries go to eat together with such a big cake, everyone can eat it.
Just look at the wealth that the British looted from India every year, which is more than the total fiscal revenue of the governments of the European countries except Russia and Austria.
With such a big benefit, the Vienna government is still willing to provide security protection, but it can't stimulate everyone's ambitions. That is really salted fish.
Of course, the small country salted fish is also understandable. For example, Monaco, a small country, has only a few towns even though it was taken care of by the Vienna government after the European War.
In addition to shouting slogans, if you want to go up for soy sauce, you are not qualified. There is really no way.
