Holy Roman Empire

Chapter 1050: A derailed plan

Views:

Apart from calling on both sides to exercise restraint, the Vienna government did not take any practical action at all, and assumed a posture that had nothing to do with me, and the condemnation of European countries also remained in words.

After all, there are not many countries that dare to flirt with Russians these days.

It’s okay to let everyone shout slogans, but if you really want to interfere, then save it! This kind of fearless international spirit cannot be tolerated by ordinary countries.

The rejoicing British government had just succeeded in the first step of the "plan to bring disaster to the east", and before it had time to rejoice for a few days, it immediately received the bad news that the Russian army was ravaging France.

Yes, Prime Minister Robert Cecil was gassed. If the Russians continue to toss like this, France, who has only half a life left, will really die.

If it were not for his reason, Robert Cecil would have ordered the Royal Navy to go to the Baltic Sea to block the gates and intercept the Russian convoys escorting French laborers.

The main reason is that blocking the door has no effect. Even if the Baltic Sea is blocked, the Russians can still go to the Mediterranean Sea, or simply borrow the railway transportation system of Shinra.

For the sake of the bigger picture, Robert Cecil had to choose restraint. After all, at this time, the contradiction between Britain and Russia has intensified, and the strategy of attracting disasters to the east will not be played.

The current international situation is very obvious. Once the Holy Roman Empire turns its attention from the mainland to the sea, Britain's greatest challenge will come.

Before that, cut down the Russians first, and Britain will really be cold.

Fighting against Shinra at sea, and fighting for India with the Russians on land, you can see how terrifying the picture is when you think about it.

However, no matter how restrained it was, it was difficult to extinguish the anger in Robert Cecil's heart. Without the French, who else can Britain turn to as cannon fodder

Russian

If you look at the Russian-Austrian alliance, you will know that the previous tenures have spent decades of effort and have not been separated. Robert Cecil does not think that he can make the two countries fight against each other.

If Shinra and the British bayonet were really red, the possibility of the tsarist government taking the opportunity to go south to India is a hundred times greater than the probability of westward to Europe.

It's not that Robert Cecil looks down on people, it's really the banya empire of this year, no matter how you look at it, it's just a banya, and the empire has long since flown to somewhere.

Without the imperial banya, that's a dish on the table. Even if it was pulled over, it would be a meal for the enemy.

Neither of these two companies will work. You can't find Sardinia, Belgium, Switzerland... These small bean-tinted countries, right

As a qualified statesman, Robert Cecil was no fantasist. "Raise your arms, and the heroes gather." That's fiction, a kind of appeal that Britain didn't have at its peak, let alone now.

Just based on the word "geopolitics", it is doomed that these small countries on the European continent cannot stand up to confront Shinra; on the contrary, it is possible that Shinra will be wrapped up and declare war on Britain.

A similar scene appeared in the previous anti-French war. In order to draw people together, the Vienna government used coercion and inducements.

The only three neutral countries escaped because they did not border France and could not affect the overall situation.

The current Holy Roman Empire and the "New Shinra" of that year are no longer the same. At the end of the day, the Vienna government can pull a bunch of younger brothers to fight France, not to mention now.

If the European continent is not in chaos, the Holy Roman Empire will be able to gather the resources of Asia, Europe and Africa. In the face of such an opponent, even if Britain is sitting on the four seas, it does not know how to start.

Today is different from the past. In the past, the national policy of the British government was to suppress whoever was forcibly suppressed, and to suppress all those who threatened; now Robert Cecil's goal has been reduced to: it is good to stabilize the situation.

Competitors are unprecedentedly powerful, and it is good to be able to maintain Britain's maritime hegemony, and Robert Cecil has not dared to ask for more.

"The Russians are so reckless, and the Vienna government, as a European military police, just looks at it like this?"

Although the title of "European Gendarmerie" is domineering, it is not a good word to use for the Vienna government.

At the Congress of Vienna in 1815, Metternich then controlled the rhythm of the meeting by diplomatic means, confining the Russians to Eastern Europe and pushing Britain out of the Continent.

Immediately afterward, they wooed countries to form the Holy Alliance, striving to maintain the balance between the monarchy and the European continent, and Austria was once awarded the title of "European Gendarmerie".

However, the highlight moment is just that moment. In the years that followed, Austria, as an old-school empire, went downhill.

Austria, which is weak in strength, can't stand the slaughter. In order to avoid being targeted by the public, the Vienna government can only lead to the misfortune and lead this domineering title of hatred to the Russians.

The Vienna government did not dare to ask for it, but the Tsarist government liked it very much. Since 1848, the Russian Empire has been known as the "European Gendarmerie".

To put the "European Gendarmerie" on the head of the Vienna government again is nothing more than hoping that the Vienna government will follow in the footsteps of the past, and the national situation will decline all the way.

Foreign Secretary Cameron: "It is very regrettable, Prime Minister. Although we have tried our best to build momentum, even King Carlos goes to the Vienna Palace every day to block the door, but the Vienna government is unmoved.

It can be seen that the determination of the Vienna government to suppress France has reached an unshakable level. Even if it involves international prestige, they cannot be shaken in the slightest.

From the current indications, the Russians are likely to reach a political deal with the Vienna government, and France has become the victim of this deal.

The tsarist government used the front to suppress France as a bargaining chip, in exchange for Vienna's understanding of their construction of the Siberian Railway, and by the way, it also solved the labor problem required by the railway.

The most direct evidence is that the logistical supplies of the Russian troops stationed in France are now provided by the Vienna government.

If the inference is correct, then we must pay more attention to the tsarist government at the same time as we pay attention to the Holy Roman Empire.

This was a mistake in our previous work, underestimating the cunning of the Russians, which allowed them to take advantage. "

For Britain, it doesn't matter how Russia and Austria got together. The key is in the end result, the Vienna government is indeed supporting the Russians' actions.

Other things can be deceived, but the fact that the Vienna government provides supplies to the Russian army cannot deceive people.

After calming down, Robert Cecil waved his hand and said, "It's not your responsibility, we all underestimate the tsarist government.

No one would have imagined that the damned Russian guy would be so vicious when it comes to politics.

If they had this ability before, the situation in Europe would never be the same as it is now. "

Diplomacy has always been a shortcoming of the Russians, and being unreasonable with a knife is an inherent impression left by the tsarist government to the European world.

Even the so-called "Alexander III who knows the most about diplomacy" actually only eased relations with European countries and allowed the Russian Empire to be accepted by the European world.

The biggest diplomatic achievement is probably the further consolidation of the Russian-Austrian alliance. The economic ties between Russia and Shinra are tighter, and the threat of the Western Front is completely avoided.

This is indeed a great diplomatic achievement. The interests of Russia and Shinra are intertwined by economic ties. The current situation is that one family is ruined, and the other family will also suffer.

Other European countries had to worry about the threat posed by the rise of the Holy Roman Empire, but the tsarist government could completely ignore it.

The interests of the two countries are too deeply involved. If the Holy Roman Empire wants to go to war with the Russian Empire, the first knife must be cut on itself.

"Self-harm", no normal person would like it. Before the economic separation of the two countries, the tsarist government did not need to worry about threats from Europe, and could go south or east with confidence.

At this point, there is not much the British government can really do other than comfort itself. Unless they can abandon the plot against the Russian Empire and stop the construction of the Trans-Siberian Railway.

Obviously, this is not possible. Although the Holy Roman Empire is the greatest threat to Britain, the Russian Empire is the most direct threat to the British.

This is not contradictory. Although the Holy Roman Empire is powerful, its navy still has a long way to go to surpass the Royal Navy.

Even if it really exceeds, it does not mean that the two countries will go to war immediately.

As long as the British government does not take the lead, then Shinra is more likely to slowly pull Britain down through long-term confrontation and consumption.

The kind that just has a slight advantage, and immediately goes out to play a gambling-style decisive battle. Only a second-year junior can do it. A mature country will not blindly gamble on the national fortune.

Compared with the long-term threat of the Holy Roman Empire, the Russians are the immediate threat. It has only been three or four years since the opening of the Central Asia Railway.

According to the principle that every tsar of the Russian Empire will inevitably start a foreign war, you don't need to think that Robert Cecil knows where the Russians are targeting.

With a perverted enemy like Shinra, they can't stand it. Robert Cecil really doesn't have the energy to play a friendly match with the Russians in India.

A dead Taoist friend is not a poor Taoist. For the safety of their own home, it can only lead to misfortune. Whether it can kill the Russians in the Far East or not, the London government must try.

Chancellor of the Exchequer Pavel: "The plan to use the Trans-Siberian Railway to consume the Russian national strength has now failed by one-third, and the remaining two-thirds cannot be allowed to fail again.

In any case, the Russians must first get the Trans-Siberian railway project off the ground. French labor can only reduce the Tsarist government's investment in manpower, but financial and material resources are still indispensable.

With the railway project dragged down, the Russians will not be able to go south and fight for India with us, at least for the next few years.

At the same time, we must increase our support for anti-Russian groups such as the French Resistance, the Polish Revolutionary Party, the Bulgarian Independence Organization, the Russian Revolutionary Party, and the Afghan Partisans.

Regardless of whether they can succeed in the end, as long as they make trouble, they can consume the strength of the Russians.

As long as the Siberian railway opens to traffic, the Russians have a second strategic option, and the situation is very different. "

The reality is cruel. Since France is doomed to be unable to save it, it is better to give up. Anyway, it is not the first time to sell teammates, let alone the French.

(Note: The British Chancellor of the Exchequer is divided into the First Minister and the Second Minister. The Prime Minister concurrently serves as the First Chancellor of the Exchequer, and the Second Chancellor of the Exchequer is the Chancellor of the Exchequer who really performs his duties.)
