Chapter 44, Lonely

The Prussian War caused the collapse of the Vienna system, which was disharmonious to many small European countries. Without the protection of this system, everyone would return to the era of dynasty.

As a rule breaker, Prussia naturally pulled up hatred. The most direct consequence was that countries stood on the side of the Danes during the Prussian War.

Of course, this does not prevent everyone from supporting the Prussians during the Prussian confrontation. International politics has always supported what is beneficial to oneself and opposed what affects one's own interests.

In St. Petersburg, the whole world is waiting for the action of the Tsarist government.

If it was the era of Nicholas I, then there is nothing to say - typing. It is not difficult for the Russian Empire to destroy Prussia with its strong strength.

This question is hard to say how much the price it will cost. At least one thing is certain, as long as the Tsarist government does not commit suicide, the Prussian Kingdom will not be able to counterattack.

You can see how big the Russian Empire is. Prussia has no possibility of directly attacking Huanglong. Once the battle starts, it will be a war of attrition.

The Russians are the least afraid of war of attrition, and at the same time, they are most afraid of war of attrition. Apart from having no money, the Tsarist government lacks nothing.

Alexander II hesitated. He didn't want to fight this war now. He had no money in his pocket and had no confidence. Prussia was easy to deal with, but Britain and France were very difficult to deal with later.

Foreign Minister Clarence Ivanov analyzed: "Your Majesty, the position of European countries has become clear. All countries have condemned Prussia's illegal actions, but no country has taken substantial action.

It can be preliminarily judged that Britain and France put pressure on countries to remain neutral in the PKD war, with the purpose of attacking us.

If the Kingdom of Denmark cannot be preserved, our international reputation will inevitably be damaged and even lose its current international status.

The Prussians have a very firm attitude and have rejected our advice. If they want to protect the Kingdom of Denmark, they cannot use diplomatic means, they can only rely on force."

"Did the Austrians not take action? Do they just let the Vienna system be destroyed?" Alexander II asked with concern.

“As early as last year when the Kingdom of Denmark merged with the two principalities of Schleswig-Holstein, Austria broke off diplomatic relations with the Kingdom of Denmark.

The relationship between the two countries has not been normalized now, and the possibility of the Vienna government supporting the Kingdom of Denmark is almost zero." Foreign Minister Clarence Ivanov replied

Obviously, this is not the answer Alexander II wants. The breakdown of diplomatic relations between Pu and Austria is not because of a conflict of interest between the two countries, but in fact, it is more of a political need.

The Vienna government deliberately made a gesture to show the people of the German region, indicating that their determination to unify the German region has never weakened.

Political correctness is effective for every government. Now that Prussia breaks the Vienna system and launches wars against the Danes, it makes sense that Austria does not take action.

Prussia is a German country no matter what, while Denmark is not. It is very obvious that it is a problem of helping relatives or helping others. The neutrality of the Vienna government is that it has a bad relationship with Prussia.

After a long silence, Alexander II continued to ask: "If we go to war with the Kingdom of Prussia, which side will Austria stand?"

This is the core issue. Prussia has received support from Britain and France, and most European countries want to see Russia fail. Without Austria's support, this war would not be able to continue.

Foreign Minister Clarence Ivanov explained: "It is not entirely certain that judging from the intelligence currently collected, the Vienna government has a higher chance of supporting us.

They wanted to unify the German region, and the Kingdom of Prussia was the biggest obstacle, and a powerful Prussia was not in their interest.

Even if the Kingdom of Prussia is willing to join the Shenlu Empire, the Vienna government does not want to see a powerful state appear and weaken their control over the empire."

After hesitating for a while, Alexander II made the decision: "Tell the Vienna government that as long as we win this war, the Silesian region will be theirs.

In addition to not allowing them to unify the German region, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs can consider other conditions on their own. We cannot do without their support in this war."

To fight, you must fight. The status of the Russian Empire was shot with one blow. Why should a tsar who dared not fight war lead Russia?

If you don't destroy the Prussian Kingdom, it will create an opportunity for Austria to unify the German region, but it is very necessary to teach this younger brother a lesson.

Alexander II has figured it out that he cannot escape. European countries want to interrupt Russia's reforms. Even if they avoid this one, there will be another one.

Once the Russian Empire shows any signs of weakness, there will be a situation where wolves eat tigers. Now the strongest ally Austria may become a pioneer in dividing Russia.

The best choice is to destroy the first Prussia to establish its authority, otherwise the Russian Empire would have to cut its losses.

...

Since the Mexican Palace ascended the throne of the emperor, Masimirino I burst out with enthusiasm and worked hard to build Mexico into a great empire.

He worked diligently and loved the people, worked hard to govern, and did not tend to be any interest groups, and was as notarized and fair as possible. He even pardoned the republicans and let go of his political enemies.

Then, as time went by, he had no choice but to find that the domestic situation did not improve, but instead worsened.

The republicans were pardoned and did not ease the domestic political struggle. These people ran out to form a team again in a blink of an eye to create a rebellion for him, the emperor.

The emperor was diligent in his work and loved the people, and the bureaucrats below did nothing, but the result was naturally useless.

The most decisive thing was notarization and fairness. The constitutionalists who supported him did not dominate the new government. Massimirino I shared his rights with the neutrals and opposition, which aroused their dissatisfaction.

Many constitutional members were desperate about the emperor, believing that their investment was wasted and chose to withdraw their investment. It should be that they were cold-eyed.

After all, Masimirino is already an emperor, and even if the constitutionalists regret it, they cannot change to a new emperor.

Masimirino selectively retained most of the results of the previous government's reform, because he did not consider the lack of adaptation to the local environment, which also caused dissatisfaction among all classes in the country.

For example: At the beginning of the throne, the Catholic Church also made great efforts, with the purpose of reclaiming the land they lost.

This part of the land was not distributed to the people, but most of it fell into the hands of the republican bureaucrats and supporters of their big landlords and capitalists. Now that the republicans have lost politically, the church will naturally fight back.

Under normal circumstances, Masimirino I must have stood on the side of his supporters and attacked the enemy of the Republicans.

However, he believed that the church should not hold too much land. These lands were taken over by state and sold to private individuals, which was a legal transaction.

There is no doubt that this violates the Party’s principle of fighting against differences. It cannot bring benefits to supporters, so naturally, don’t think everyone will continue to support him.

In just a few months, Masimirino I not only did not cultivate his own trusted regime, but instead drove many people who supported him to the opposite side.

This is just a part of it. The most typical case of death is that shortly after Masimirino succeeded to the throne, the debts of the Mexican Empire tripled.

As an idealist, it is naturally very easy to fool.

As soon as he ascended the throne, he faced a financial crisis. The government needed funds to operate. The French army interfered in the Mexican civil war needed rewards. The treasury had long been running away.

Faced with this dilemma, Masimirino I could only borrow money from abroad. As his supporter, the French naturally ate this cake, but the French had a little big appetite.

In addition to the French, the interests of the other two interfering countries must also be guaranteed. Recognizing the debts owed by the previous government is one of them.

Here, Masimirino I made another mistake. Many of the debts here are actually illegal and do not require inheritance from the new government. He took all of them.

The famous Mirama Agreement was signed, and Massimirino I commissioned the French bank to issue 114 million pesos bonds, of which the French withdrew one-third to repay their own debts and one-quarter to repay their debts.

With the messy handling fees, Massimilano was left with only 42.18 million pesos, which also required the payment of the French military's military's military expenditure and the maintenance of the government's operations.

Without doing anything, the debts tripled. The knowledgeable people in Mexico naturally look down on this emperor.

Even if you want a loan, you have to consider the actual situation. The Mexican government has no money to pay back the debt, and now the French require Masimirino I to mortgage the tariffs.

Masimirino I reacted, and he found that he had been deceived.

The Mexican Empire is not as rich as rumored by the outside world, and it is true that it is rich in silver. However, most of these minerals have backgrounds with great powers and cannot receive a few taxes at all.

Masimirino I knew the importance of customs and was unwilling to hand it over to the French, and the secret agreement between the two sides ended.

"Your Majesty, you can sign this treaty!"

Bazin, the commander of French in Mexico, took out a document and handed it to Masimirino I, without any respect for the emperor.

Masimirino I picked up the document, scanned it, and tore it to pieces. He said in a cold tone: "Okay, you can get out now."

As the direct descendant of the Habsburg family, Masimirino also has a temper. If the French don’t give him face, it is naturally impossible for him to give face.

Bazan left the palace with a pale face, but still did not say any threatening words. It was one thing not to take Masimirino seriously, and he still couldn't do anything randomly on the surface.

He was not the mob of the republicans, and France was also a monarchy. Maintaining the dignity of the monarchy is the common will of all European monarchies, so Bazan naturally would not violate a taboo.

It doesn't matter if you can't get the emperor's signature, but it's the same with the cabinet's signature. The French were originally planning to find a high-ranking official to sign and then create a certain fact.

Now that the Paris government has even appointed officials who serve as Mexican customs, we are waiting for a legal procedure to take office.

It was only because Baden and Massimirino I had a conflict during a banquet that he deliberately took out documents to stimulate Massimirino.

From the beginning, the French just wanted a puppet emperor. Unfortunately, Masimireno did not cooperate at all and was still trying to be a good monarch.

However, this effort greatly worsened the situation. As the French united constitutionalists, conservatives, and emperors pushed up by the church, Massimirino did not stand politically with the class that supported him.

He wanted to become the most notarized monarch and not be the spokesperson for any political faction. He wanted to establish a moderate government and gain common recognition from all parties.

At present, he has successfully achieved half of his goal and achieved fairness and justice, and has not become the spokesperson for any class or interest groups.
