European countries did not want to see the unification of the German region. Whether it was the "three domestic cabinets" jointly tinkering with the Bavaria and the Prussians, or the "federal cabinet" proposed by Austria, they were not what the great powers wanted to see.

The wings of butterflies can create a tornado, and Franz's arrival also affected European history. The Russians' attitude changed. They no longer wanted to maintain the status quo of the German region, but wanted the German Federation to split directly.

Also having this idea were Britain and France. After the Great Revolution in 1848, they realized the horror of nationalism.

The success of Austria's reforms also caused them to worry, fearing that the German region would be tied together in this way, and that the Holy Roman Empire would be resurrected one day in the future.

The best choice is to divide it into three parts: Austria, Prussia, Bavaria and the remaining states unite to establish a separate state, or dissolve the federal parliament to make all these states independent.

independent?

It is the 19th century, not the 21st century. This is an era of colonialism, and the predicament of the weak is fully demonstrated.

Don’t look at the German Federation that does not seem to play much role. In fact, it is because of the existence of the Federation that ensures their national defense security.

Without the protection of the German Federation, these states in the German region may be devastated in an instant.

The Prussians wanted to expand, the French wanted to expand, and Austria also wanted to expand, because the existence of the Federation was mutually checked and balanced, and the Prussians could not attack them, and the French did not dare to attack them, and Austria could not.

The complex international situation is the reason why the freak of the German Federation existed after the end of the Holy Roman Empire.

Small states are all huddling together to keep warm, so Bavaria has become the natural leader of small states, responsible for leading everyone to compete with Prussia and Austria.

Franz thought for a while and said, "We continue to increase our infiltration into the Bavaria region. We can't win over the top government leaders, so we will win over some middle and lower classes first."

To win people's hearts is also a matter of cost. Austria, the top leaders of the Bavarian government, can no longer give too much, but the middle and lower levels of the government are different. Giving some benefits is enough to change their position.

Felix proposed: "Your Majesty, it is necessary for us to establish a German national unity organization, which is specifically responsible for winning over people from all walks of life and dismantle the determination of countries to fight against Austria.

Our strategy for the Southern German state is to win over politically and supplement by military means. In addition to some of the diehards who must be attacked, the rest of the people should try their best to fight for it.

Bavaria is an indispensable part because of geopolitical relations, and they have a great influence in the Southern Germany region.

If we can quickly occupy Bavaria when the War of Unification broke out, the remaining states would likely fall."

Franz knew that it was a false idea to win over people from all walks of life. The real goal was to win over the lower class aristocracy, especially the military aristocracy. As long as they turned to Austria, the War of Unification would be easy to fight.

Franz nodded and said, "Then establish the German Unification Committee, as an independent civil organization, and work specifically for the unification of the German region. On the contrary, it should not be related to Austria."

Such an organization must not be related to Austria. In addition to diplomatic troubles, there are also methods and methods to attract people, which are definitely not as glamorous as it appears.

Coercion and inducement are considered harmonious. If necessary, it is possible to play assassins and eliminate some stubborn elements. The blame can only be taken by national extremists.

I guess they won't care, it's not a bad slap. At most, they are scolded now. After the unification, they will become heroes in the German region.

...

The diplomatic game has begun. The problems in the German region in this era are definitely not limited to the resolution of the German state within the country, but the attitude of the great powers is also crucial.

Britain, France and Russia are three unavoidable masters, especially the attitudes of France and Russia are crucial. These two countries have the ability to send troops to intervene.

However, it is not the time for a showdown. The Prussian government just wants to show the people their position to support German unification and restore their damaged reputation. This does not mean that they really give up their ambitions for the German region and instead support Bavaria's "three-legged stalking".

Can't the Bavarian government see this question? It is obviously impossible. If this is not visible, no one will oppose the alliance with Prussia.

Unfortunately, Maximi I was unable to resist the temptation, and only saw the benefits but not the danger. It is easy to fall down when walking a tightrope in diplomacy, and Bavaria still lacks a diplomat who can control the overall situation.

In history, during the Prussian-Austria war, Bavaria wanted to sit in and watch the tiger fight, but the promised 100,000 troops did not come in place, which directly led to a quarter of the Prussian troops in the decisive battle.

Of course, it is not just Bavaria who cheated his teammates. Except for Hannover, the rest of Austrian allies were almost defeated by the Prussian soldiers without bloodshed.

If Italy hadn't also been a teammate of pigs, the P-Austria war would have ended faster. Perhaps because of the fact that the Austrian government had no defense at all, the nationwide mobilization was not carried out, and 300,000 active troops were directly put on the battlefield.

Obviously, Maximi I had a poor strategic vision in terms of strategy. He did not expect that the Austrian government would be so cowardly. After a big defeat, he simply admitted defeat and did not fight the Prussians to the death.

After looking back on history, Franz found that Puo was worthy of being a family, and his level of finding teammates was the same.

From the beginning of the P-Austrian War to the end of World War II, there were no pig teammates around me.

...

Paris

After the Anti-French War, the French Foreign Ministry rarely had such a lively life. Austria, Prussia, and Bavaria were seeking diplomatic support from them.

President Napoleon was very happy that he was interested in anything that could expand France's influence.

Without even thinking about it, President Napoleon knew who to support. Dividing the German region into three and allowing Bavaria to lead small states against Puo, this is the best choice for the French.

Unfortunately, France is not suitable to be a pioneer at this time. Not only is the bad things in China not dealt with, European countries are still very afraid of them.

It is OK to yell at diplomacy. If you really go to interfere in German regional affairs, the Pakatan Harbin and Austria will probably join forces to beat them back first.

Anyway, the Parliament opposes what the president supports now, and the president who supports parliament rejects it, and Louis Napoleon Bonaparte simply mixes with it.

Needless to say, the French parliament has more conservative foreign policy and is mostly based on the reactions of the British.

...

London

Upon hearing the news that the German Federation was about to form a responsible cabinet, Prime Minister John Russell's first reaction was that it was impossible, and his second reaction was that the upcoming cabinet must be broken up.

Continental balance is the British's first national policy. If the German region is unified, a giant will appear in Central Europe.

The second largest industrial country in Europe, the second largest territory, the first largest economy in Europe, the first largest army power in Europe, and the first largest population power in Europe... It makes people feel terrible to think about it.

John Russell complained incredibly: "What happened? Why did I feel like the world has become strange overnight?

Who can tell me why this is? The German region may be unified!"

Foreign Minister Parmeston explained: "His Excellency Prime Minister, the German region is not so easy to unify. The 'responsible cabinet' is just a product of the struggle between Oppa and the three states. A cabinet destined to have no real power will not play any role."

Secretary of State Edward frowned and said, "But the existence of this cabinet will still break the balance of the German region. No matter who wins and who loses, as long as the responsible cabinet appears, the road to unification of the German region will take a big step forward.

Especially the 'three domestic cabinets', if Austria reached a compromise with Prussia and Bavaria, the German region would likely be truly unified, at least in terms of politics and military affairs they could achieve alliances."

Everyone is playing politics, so naturally they know that the fewer people, the easier it is to reach an agreement. On the contrary, Austria has a smaller threat to form a cabinet together.

There are more than 30 states in the German region, and each state must have someone to join the cabinet. With so many people together, there are only quarrels left every day.

Is there any possibility of a real alliance between the Oppa and Ba countries?

From the perspective of interests, the answer is: yes; from the actual situation, the answer is: no.

If Prussia would give up its ambition to unify Germany, then Franz would not mind giving up his plan to annex the South German region.

This is somewhat similar to the Three Jin Alliance in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Once Zhao, Wei and Han form an alliance, they can defeat all sides, and the same is true for Oppa now.

The difference is that once this alliance is established, there is no chance of expansion on the European continent, Prussia and Bavaria.

Bavaria is weak and is trapped in the central government of the Three Kingdoms of Obap. After the establishment of the alliance, their safety will be guaranteed. It is in their interests to be able to farm with peace of mind to achieve a well-off life.

Austria can also expand into the Balkans and be replenished by manpower from the German region. The disadvantage of insufficient number of subject ethnic groups will be solved and more energy will be devoted to overseas colonial expansion.

Moreover, with Austria's size, it is only a matter of time before it can gain dominance in the alliance, and Franz has no reason to oppose the alliance.

Prussia is not good. Although they have strong military strength, the Prussian Kingdom is actually not large.

While maintaining a continental army, the Prussian Kingdom also lost the opportunity to develop a navy, and national strength did not allow them to develop land and sea power at the same time.

Therefore, something must be abandoned. Theoretically, after the alliance is established, Prussia will not have to worry about land security. It can reduce the army and develop naval forces and open up overseas colonies.

Unfortunately, Prussia was the Prussia of the Junker nobles. They could not give up their own interests for the sake of national interests.

Franz sees this question clearly, but it does not mean that everyone can see it clearly, especially the maritime countries such as Britain.

In their opinion, why do you have to take risks on the European continent by easily obtaining benefits from overseas?

In the current international situation, the Kingdom of Prussia had almost no chance of success in its expansion on the European continent, and the British believed that the Prussian government would not be so unwise.

Prime Minister John Russell said with a quick decision: "Mr. Parmeston, there are enough enemies in the British Empire, and there is no need to add another great enemy.

Now, no matter what your Ministry of Foreign Affairs does, I cannot let a unified government appear in the German region, even if it is just nominal!

It would be better to let the German Federal Parliament separate. I always feel that letting them gather together will sooner or later become our big trouble."

Parmeston replied confidently: "Don't worry, the Prime Minister. The German region cannot be unified. It is not only us who want to break them up!"
