On July 1, 1853, Prime Minister Felix visited the Grand Duchy of Baden again and had a historic meeting with the Regent Prince Friedrich.

Prime Minister Felix continued to fool: "Your Highness, the unification of Germany is the common wish of all German people. The Bavarian government that blocks the car with a mantis arm has been abandoned by the people.

History has given us a mission to achieve national unity at this time. As nobles in the German region, we have the responsibility to fulfill this obligation.”

Facing the great fooling Prime Minister Felix, Prince Friedrich is extremely troubled. Now "unification" is politically correct in the Principal of Baden. With the lessons of the Bavarian government, he dare not make mistakes on this issue.

While flirting, Felix was also accompanied by the threat of force from Austria.

The Kingdom of Bavaria has been settled, and the Austrian army involuntarily moved to the border of the Grand Duchy of Baden, not too many of them were only about 100,000.

This number has already made Prince Friedrich unable to sleep well. In his opinion, it is a serious threat if he does not need a hundred thousand Austrian army.

Fortunately, the Austrians knew to be polite first and then soldiers, so that there was room for maneuver. Even if they were to be merged, they had to sell for a good price, right?

Prince Friedrich raised his question: "His Excellency Prime Minister, as a nobleman in the German region, I am willing to contribute to the unification of the German region. The problem now is that European countries do not want to see the unification of the German region.

Britain, France and Russia all expressed their attitude that once the German region was unified, they would send troops to intervene, and the Prussians would engage in them again.

If we cannot handle this problem well, we will start a unified process rashly, which is likely to turn into a huge war."

Nobles are not only privileges, but also represent responsibility. This is the reason why European aristocrats are respected.

Prince Friedrich could not directly reject German unification, so he simply put the problem of unification before his eyes, and also criticized the Prussians.

If Austria cannot solve this problem, then there is no way to talk about unification. At worst, let Austria eat Bavaria, and it will be over.

If a fellow Taoist dies, I am not dead, Prince Friedrich has no intention of being unfair for the Bavarian government. The Austrians have paid attention to their appearance and publicly promised to replace the territory of the royal families of the two kingdoms.

Although the specific location has not been made public, this is the best choice for the Bavarian royal family. As a royal family abandoned by the people, if they continue to stay in Bavaria, they will not be able to hold the throne. It is better to change places to maintain their foundation.

Felix said with great confidence: "Your Highness can rest assured about this issue. If the diplomatic problems cannot be solved, we dare not mention unification at this time.

My Highness is sure to be very clear about the current world situation. Britain, France and Russia are fighting fiercely in the Near East. Even if they want to interfere, they are willing but unable to do so.

As long as everyone reaches an agreement, the unification of the German region is not a problem. The trouble now is the Kingdom of Prussia, who have always been ambitious and want to annex the entire German region.

We will try our best to win. If the Prussian government opposes and colludes with the great powers, then we will unify the Southern German region first this time.

This is Austria's bottom line. If anyone dares to hinder it, then see you at war!"

Prince Friedrich understood that the previous ones were routines, and the last sentence was Austria's real purpose.

After careful calculation, he found that the success rate of Austria's plan seemed to be very high. The Kingdom of Bavaria was over and the southern German region could no longer resist them.

If Germany was unified in the region, Britain, France and Russia would definitely not be tolerated. If it were replaced by the division between North and South Germany, the result would be different.

Austria has become bigger, but this kind of growth just hits everyone's bottom line and cannot threaten everyone's survival.

For the British, there is no need to worry about the out-of-control balance of the continental balance. After the strength grows, Austria will go alongside the French, and at most it will be strong and will not be as good as the Russians.

Anyway, Austria is surrounded by Russia, Fantasy and France, and at this point, it can no longer expand. Even if it is a little stronger, it is within the scope of tolerance.

Not to mention the Russians, the Russian-Austrian alliance is well known. As long as the entire German region is not unified and the Russians feel threatened, they can accept the rest.

Prince Friedrich speculated that Russia and Austria had reached an agreement long ago, otherwise the Austrians would not dare to take action at this time.

A single France seems to be unable to scare Austria, and whoever is afraid of whom will be beaten? As long as it is not Napoleon's rebirth, Austria, which unifies the Southern German region, is not afraid at all.

Prince Friedrich involuntarily acknowledged in his heart that the people supported unification. From this point of view, when calculating Austria's military strength, he also added the power of several states in the South German region.

This calculation is not wrong. When the French attacked, they couldn't help but fight. Foreign enemies invaded, and some people dared to shout neutrality?

Prince Friedrich thought for a while and said, "Prime Minister, in principle, I agree to the unification of Germany. The Principality of Baden will not hinder the unification of the state, but in terms of specific details, we still need to discuss it."

The struggle for interests cannot be retreated. Now Prince Friedrich naturally wants to fight for the Principality of Baden, or for himself.

Felix showed joy and received a positive answer. He knew that the Principality of Baden had been settled, so he was still afraid of negotiating the specific conditions?

You should know that there is a law in the world called the Constitution, and the central government can completely restrict the rights of local governments through laws.

In the new government, Austria occupies an absolute dominant position. What are these small states fighting for?

Felix said in a grand manner: "No problem. Considering that all states in the German region have their own systems, in principle we advocate state autonomy.

Except for everyone who needs to abide by the common Constitution, the central government usually does not interfere with the local government’s governance.”

There is a prerequisite for these, that is - for the time being.

Prince Friedrich was satisfied, but he couldn't be satisfied. Prime Minister Felix's attitude was too firm, and if he was moved, it was a threat of force, which made him unable to say something he refused.

As for leaking the Austrians' plans, Prince Friedrich is not that stupid, which is a thankless thing.

Even if Britain and France know about it, it will not change the result of the unification of the Principality of Baden. Now the best choice is to sell the Principality of Baden to a good price.

If you turn a flip, you can refer to the treatment of the Bavarian royal family. It sounds good to replace the country, but in fact they have suffered a lot of losses. The business results of several generations have been lost, so they have to start over.

What if the Austrian government is shameless and makes trouble again in the last ten or eight years and find an excuse to take down their throne?

In the new territory, they do not have a deep mass base, and if the royal family is abolished, they will be abolished, and they cannot even make trouble.

After a week of negotiations, on July 9, 1853, Prime Minister Felix signed the Declaration of German Unification on behalf of the Principality of Baden, represented by Austria and Prince Friedrich.

Simply put, from now on, the Principality of Baden and Austria are the same country, although this new parallel-made Shenluo Empire has not yet been established.

Before this, the Principality of Saxony had signed a contract. The Austrian government forced and tempted it and attacked it with a combination of punches, and the domestic people followed suit and started making trouble. It would be difficult for them to not compromise!

Nationalism in the German region has been detonated, and the Bavarian government, which hinders national unity, has been killed by Austria. The Principality of Saxony and Baden have reached an agreement with Austria.

It seems that the days of unification of the German region are not far away. When Prime Minister Felix arrived in Württemberg, the crowds of people were already crowded with the streets and finally had to negotiate in a manor outside the city.

When Austria issued a declaration of war, everyone thought war was inevitable. As a result, the Bavarians successfully turned war into armed parades, and the dawn of peaceful reunification appeared again.

Before the negotiations began, the Württemberg government was under great pressure. Before this, many people had publicly stated that if the War of Unification broke out, they would not help the government fight.

In order not to let the Bavarian government repeat the past, the Kingdom of Württemberg naturally surrendered. As long as Austria can handle international pressure, everyone will be a family.

On July 11, 1853, the unestablished Squash-Carrying Empire had already appeared: five states: Austria, Bavaria, Baden, Saxony, and Württemberg.

The Southern German region has basically achieved unity. On the way to Hessen-Darmstadt, Frankfurt Free City has announced its participation in the Shenlu Empire.

At this time, Britain, France, Russia and other countries that were preparing to interfere had reached an agreement. On July 6, Britain, France and Russia jointly issued a statement announcing a one-month truce in the Near East.

The next day, the twelve European countries, including Britain, France and Russia, issued a joint note, demanding that Austria stop the action of German reunification.

Without any threatening language, Austria had to stop the pace of unification with this note, fortunately Franz's goal had been accomplished at this time.

The German region, which had just appeared in the dawn of unification, immediately fell into a wail. Many people had no choice but to find that unification was still far away.

The Kingdom of Prussia also appeared in the interfering state this time, and Franz did not feel anything surprising. What is it to bear some infamy for the sake of interests?

Anyway, their reputation has been stinking now, and they are thrown away, Frederick William IV doesn't mind being scolded for a few more.

If the Kingdom of Prussia does not participate in this operation, it is certain that the division of the German region will have nothing to do with them.

Support Prussia against Austria? Such a good thing, just think about it in your dream.

The UK said that Hannover is his younger brother and cannot give up, otherwise where will the boss's face be put? Isn't it enough to check and balance Austria and the French and Russians?

The Frenchman said that I am not stupid. It is not enough to have Austria as a competitor. Is there one more to add now?

The Russians said, yes, support you spiritually, and strive for practical benefits by yourself. Russia is not stupid.

Europe has such great interests. If the Prussians get one more, it means that others will get one less.

Which idiot is willing to take out his own interests and cultivate an opponent?

The geographical location has been determined. Once the Kingdom of Prussia rises, it will be a competitor to everyone. Because the meat left to the Kingdom of Prussia is no longer enough, they can only snatch it.

Check and balance Austria? After the German region was split, Austria's expansion was blocked.

The French are in the west, the Russians are in the east, the Prussia is in the north, the Balkans are in the south, the Sardinian Kingdom in the southwest is the younger brother of the British, and other countries in the Italian region are originally the younger brothers of Austria, and they can't even talk.

How can Austria choose? Oh, there is another Switzerland that wants nothing. Unless the Vienna government has collectively got into the brain, it will not be interested in the backbone of Europe.

According to the plan proposed by the Russians, Austria either stayed still and wanted to expand and go out to win the colony!

This is really not a timid in Britain and France. It is really not a match for Austria when competing overseas. Geographical location determines that Austria is naturally at a disadvantage in colonial strategy.

If you want to develop a colony overseas, you will be stuck in the neck by Britain and France. If you don’t have a good relationship with everyone, it will be completely impossible to move forward.
