Fools miss opportunities, wise people are good at seizing opportunities, successful people are good at creating opportunities, and opportunities are only reserved for those who are prepared.
Since it wants to withdraw its troops from France, the tsarist government will not be held back by an "excuse".
The only way to withdraw troops without causing a backlash from the anti-French alliance is war. Only when the Russian Empire and a third country went to war would the tsarist government have enough reason to withdraw its troops and not be blamed by the countries.
When you open the map, you can see that there are not many neighbors in the Russian Empire anymore, Europe is all hard bones, the British in South Asia are not easy to mess with, and the ones who are easy to bully are in the east.
Before the tsarist government could find an opportunity to create a pretext for war, someone brought the handle to the door. A "Declaration of War of Nations" was sent across the ocean to Europe, and before European countries could respond, the tsarist government took the lead in declaring the war.
I can't accept it, I've never seen someone who kills like this before.
Fortunately, this is just a farce. The war book is only circulated internally and has not been handed over to the ministers of various countries. It does not constitute a real war book, otherwise...
Legal and illegal is not important, anyway, what the Russians want is just an excuse to play on the topic, and the Far Eastern Empire just happens to deliver it to your door.
Whether or not to fight, how to fight, and to that point, it is estimated that the tsarist government has not yet figured out.
Needless to say, we also know what happened next. Anyway, the Far Eastern Empire is going to be unlucky this time. The Russians took the lead, and the British naturally would not be idle, let alone the Japanese.
Butterfly effect, Italy, Germany, and Austria have been tossed away, and the United States has been divided into two. In the end, a coalition of several countries will be formed. This question can only be asked of God.
…
Leo Frankel, the new foreign minister: "Your Majesty, yesterday afternoon the Tsarist government declared war on the Far Eastern Empire, and also sent us an invitation..."
Before the Foreign Minister could finish speaking, Franz interrupted: "Reject them directly. The international situation is changing, and maybe one day we will fight with the British.
The empire does not have the strength to compete with the British in the Far East. At this time, it is not for the wise to distract and enter the Far East Empire.
Pay close attention to the next moves of the tsarist government, if they are to withdraw their troops from France, be sure to delay them for two months to buy time for the formation of the peacekeeping force. "
The reason is a bit far-fetched, but Shinra's strategic core is indeed not in East Asia. This densely populated area is not Shinra's expansion target either.
In contrast, the importance of France is much higher. No matter how dilapidated France is now, in view of the glorious history of the French, the Vienna government still dare not take it lightly.
"Your Majesty, the Tsarist government has announced plans to withdraw its troops. The Russians have decided to withdraw 220,000 troops from France on the pretext of war needs.
After the implementation of the plan, the total number of Russian troops stationed in France will drop from the current 270,000 to 50,000.
We have already received the diplomatic note, and it is estimated that the coalition headquarters will receive it soon, and now we are waiting for the concrete implementation.
Of course, if we ask for a two-month suspension of the withdrawal, the tsarist government should give this face. "
Foreign Secretary Leo Frankl reminded slightly embarrassedly.
The war provided the tsarist government with an excuse to withdraw its troops. They did not withdraw all the troops at one time. It is estimated that the tsarist government still wants to mix in the anti-French alliance and is not ready to do everything.
Since it did not want to do anything, the Vienna government asked the Russian army to suspend the withdrawal for two months, which is naturally not a problem.
In any case, this is also more than 200,000 troops. If you want to withdraw so many personnel and weapons from France to the Russian Empire, without the cooperation of Shinra, the Tsarist government will not even think about it for a year and a half.
For the Holy Roman Empire, it is obviously a good thing that the Russian army did not completely withdraw.
The dirty work, the dirty work, always has to be done by someone. As long as the money is given enough, the Russian officers and soldiers are not afraid of taking the blame.
Having this professional team behind the blame is very helpful in maintaining the international image of the Holy Roman Empire.
Franz did not think that if the Russian army was gone, the French would welcome the arrival of the Shinra army. Although the military discipline of the Shinra army may be better, the centuries-old feud between the two countries cannot be resolved overnight.
You don't need to think about Franz to know that when the time comes, the "Chen Sesame, Rotten Millet" will be turned up again.
Even if the French don't care, the British will help them awaken their sleeping hatred and provoke conflict.
History has proved that hatred alone cannot solve the problem by Huairou. Most of the time, it is more reliable to use a bayonet.
Franz did not dare to hope that he could win people's hearts in France. As long as the situation can be stabilized, so that the French will not jump out and cause trouble for themselves in the next hegemony competition.
…
London
The resurgence of the Far East is definitely a good thing for the British government. After receiving this good news, Prime Minister Robert Cecil was in high spirits.
It's not easy, except for the first day on the Prime Minister's throne, he has never been so happy for the rest of the time.
There is no way, the international situation is too unfriendly to Britain. Looking at the Continental Alliance across the strait, Robert Cecil only sighed.
After exhausting all the calculations, it only increased the time for Shinra to integrate the European continent, and did not fundamentally solve the problem.
I have to admit the power of geopolitics. As an epoch-making hegemon of the European continent, as long as Shinra is not betrayed, European countries must rely on the past.
This is no longer a matter of interest or not, but a more core issue of survival. In the cruel international competition, small countries have no choice but to rely on the strong.
Of course, these grasshoppers are just minor troubles, and it's okay to wave the flag and shout, and the actual value that can be exerted is still very limited.
What really worries Britain is the Russian-Austrian alliance. If this trump card combination is not managed, Britain will fight against Shinra at sea and the Russian-Austrian coalition on land in the future.
At sea, Prime Minister Robert Cecil is not cowardly, and the Royal Navy is not afraid of anyone; it is a tragedy on land, which is truly unbearable.
Now there has finally been a turn of events, no matter what the reason for the Russians' eastward advance, it has relieved the pressure on Britain in the Indian region.
In order to defend India, these British governments did not spend any less time. Not only did they train the colonial army at all costs, but even the declining Persia was subsidized by Britain.
Don't expect the Persians to do anything, as long as the Persian Empire can last longer, and don't let the Shinra army push all the way to India.
The national strategy has never been determined easily. Since the tsarist government chose to beat the Far East Empire at this time, the Russians' eastward strategy is basically a done deal.
The next question is how to inflict heavy damage on the Russians in the east, get rid of the problem of multi-line combat, and then shatter the Russian-Austrian alliance, and finally pull the Russians to their side.
The plan is a bit complicated, the implementation is a bit difficult, and the success rate is so low.
But having a plan is better than having no plan. At this stage, the only way for Britain to continue its hegemony is to win over the Russians.
The Russian Empire in its heyday was obviously unstoppable. People were drooling at India, and Robert Cecil didn't dare to seek fur with the hairy bear.
In this context, it is very necessary to weaken the Russians and make the tsarist government have a sense of crisis.
It's almost the same way of the original time and space. Before the Russo-Japanese War, the conflict between Britain and Russia was sharp, and the German-Russian relationship was still very good; after the war, the German-Russian relationship deteriorated rapidly, but the conflict between Britain and Russia tended to ease.
Despite the French mediation, the root cause was that the tsarist government felt threatened by the Germans. Otherwise, the loan alone will not be enough to bring the tsarist government into submission.
After all, defaulting on debt is nothing new. The ancestors can do it, why can't Nicholas II do it
Not to mention at the moment, it can be seen from the fact that the tsars of all dynasties wanted to get rid of their dependence on Vienna, it can be seen that the Russians are really feeling the pressure.
The relationship between the two countries can be maintained. On the one hand, the Russian-Austrian alliance reassures them, and the two countries have achieved a deep bond in their interests, which cannot be untied for a while; on the other hand, India is close at hand, and greed has overcome fear.
Once it was beaten by society and found that it did not have the power to seize India, and reality triumphed over greed, the tsarist government should be afraid.
As a result of fear, it is natural to find someone to hold a group. As for completely relying on Shinra, that is complete nonsense.
Attachment is a trick played by a small country. Even if a big country can put down his body and go to the past, people can't believe it
If Britain is finished, then the relationship between the Russian Empire and the Holy Roman Empire is the relationship between the world's second largest and the world's largest.
The second child in the world is attached to the world leader, which is not harmonious no matter how you look at it.
Since ancient times, the second child has been the target of repression, and there has never been an exception. Why did the tsarist government believe that the Vienna government would be merciful
Is it just based on the traditional friendship between the two countries
Politicians are not idealists. When making choices, their thinking will naturally run to the bad. That's why the second child and the third child stay warm and fight against the world leader together.
Frankly speaking, Robert Cecil also has deep doubts about the Anglo-Russian group to warm up.
After all, the contradictions between Britain and Russia are equally acute. Even if they come together temporarily under the pressure of Shinra, it is difficult to truly cooperate closely.
But the reality is cruel. Without France, the gold medalist, Britain's layout on the European continent is missing a piece, and it has fallen into a comprehensive passive strategy in terms of strategy.
Regardless of whether the alliance between Britain and Russia is reliable, the British government has no choice. It is better for the two countries to work together as a group to share the pressure than to do it alone.
Now that the light has been seen, it is natural to celebrate. However, it is now working time, and in order not to let competitors seize the handle, Robert Cecil can only temporarily suppress the turbulent heart.
"The international situation has finally changed. Before we could make a move, the Russians jumped in. The next question is how to cut them.
Although the strength of the Russian Empire is strong, the power they can put into the Far East is very limited.
Not to mention that the Trans-Siberian Railway has not yet opened to traffic, even if it has been opened to traffic, this problematic railway will not be able to support many troops fighting.
The problem now is that the Far Eastern Empire has a certain strength, but their government is too rotten, and they simply do not have the courage to fight the Russians.
If we want to hit the Russians in the Far East, it is obviously not enough to rely on their family. We must have more chess pieces, and the Japanese cannot continue to be idle. "
Facts have once again proved that pie doesn't fall out of the sky for no reason. Even if it does fall, it is usually poisonous.
The Central Asian Railway built with the aid of the Vienna government has quality problems; the Siberian Railway, which was secretly supported by the British, also has many pits.
Perhaps it is not a big problem in normal use. Once the freight volume increases, the Tsarist government will immediately understand that railways also have temperaments.
This is the inevitable result. If we don't set a few traps and delay the logistics and really make the Russian plan a success, wouldn't the British government shoot itself in the foot
You must know that the Far East is the sphere of influence of Britain. John Bull could not do the things of self-denial.
Foreign Secretary David Cameron: "Prime Minister, it's too early to start. The Russians' power cannot be projected without the opening of the Trans-Siberian Railway.
Just a little bit of miscellaneous soldiers in the Far East, even if the entire army is wiped out, will not hurt the vitality of the Russians.
Perhaps it was too difficult to move eastward, and the Russians shrank back and picked up the strategy of going south again, which would be troublesome.
In order to better lure the enemy, we'd better let the Tsarist government experience a sense of victory in the short term. It just so happens that the Far Eastern Empire is now…”
As the so-called "can't bear children, can't catch wolves". It is estimated that most people will not be willing to give up their own children; if they change other people's children, there will be no such pressure.
Politically, enemies and friends are always in a flash. Just now, they were talking about supporting the Far Eastern Empire and the Russians. In a flash, they decided to sacrifice the interests of the Far Eastern Empire to lure the enemy into it.
It can be seen that Cameron has deeply absorbed the essence of British diplomacy. In the shortest period of time, the professionalism that the British Foreign Secretary should have demonstrated.
Chancellor of the Exchequer Pavel: "Sir is right, the amount of power the Russians can now devote to the Far East is indeed too little, and has no weight at all.
The Russians' eastward strategy not only meant the bankruptcy of Vienna's plan to divert the water to the south, but also threatened Shinra's land hegemony.
It is impossible for the Vienna government to watch the Russians complete the Yellow Russia plan. Right now, they are the ones who least expect the tsarist government to succeed. We don't need to worry now.
Regardless of whether the Russian-Austrian alliance is still unbreakable, once the Russians' eastward strategy shows signs of success, the Vienna government is bound to suppress it.
After taking the first step, the Russians will find that the whole world is their enemy, especially their closest allies.
At that time, even if the Russian-Austrian alliance can barely maintain, it will only exist in name only, and our opportunity will come.
But the Russians alone are not enough. To deal with the Holy Roman Empire, the empire needs more allies. "
When the word "ally" is mentioned, Prime Minister Robert Cecil has a headache. No way, he took over a mess of economic prosperity and a mess of diplomacy.
Although his predecessor, among all the prime ministers of Britain, was considered to be of outstanding ability, he had brought Britain to the brink of a precipice by misestimating the strength of France.
Remedy, that is completely overthinking. From the establishment of the Continental Union, Britain had little room for diplomacy.
After so many years of hard work, Britain does not have a real ally. Japan can't be counted, it's just an inconspicuous little brother, not yet qualified to be an ally of Britain.
At present, apart from the Russian Empire, Robert Cecil doesn't know who to pull, and who can he pull
"Does the Ministry of Foreign Affairs have any advice?"
It is better to leave such complicated matters to professionals, although looking at the bitter face of the Foreign Minister, it is not like...
Foreign Secretary Cameron replied helplessly: "European countries cannot be counted on, they can remain neutral, that is the result of God's blessing, our goal can only be in the Americas.
There are many independent countries in the Americas, but few are powerful, and even fewer can be drawn by us.
The most valuable is naturally the United States of America, followed by the Confederate States, unfortunately, these two are deadly enemies.
If we bring both of them together, we probably don't have to do anything, and we'll just adjust the relationship between them.
If you choose one of the two, the other is likely to be pulled over by the enemy. With the diplomatic capabilities of the Vienna government, the probability of this happening will not be less than 90%.
In addition to a pair of enemies, the rest of Mexico, Colombia, Argentina, Chile and other countries are also the targets of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs' public relations.
It's just that these countries have a common feature - insufficient strength. Politically strong, it is impossible to expect them to contribute much.
At most, distracting the enemy and threatening their colonies in the Americas is of limited help in the overall situation. "
The confrontation between the United States and the Confederate States, Britain is also a great contribution. Since the joint intervention of Britain, France, and Océ, it has laid hidden dangers for today's confrontation between the two countries.
When it comes to digging pits, Britain is a professional, and France, Austria, and Spain, who joined forces at the time, are not easy people.
When the United States was divided between the North and the South, the four countries that acted as arbiters unanimously laid mines on the boundary line.
The political methods are still immature for the leaders of the United States and the Confederate States. Obviously, they have not encountered this kind of gameplay. The specific person in charge below is even more ignorant, and the delegation of the four countries is involved in the whole process.
The end result is that the relations between the North and South, which were already full of hatred, deteriorated further after the war because of the border issue.
If the previous war was not too tragic, the national cohesion of the two countries was not strong, and there were still a lot of internal conflicts, maybe there would be a second PK.
In fact, if the European powers hadn't erupted into internal conflicts and relaxed their provocation of relations between the two countries, the governments of the North and South might have already started fighting.
