In the spring of 1871, the Roman uprising led by Garibaldi and Mazinni ended in failure, and the head of the rebel army was forced to go into exile overseas.

Against the backdrop of the upcoming establishment of the British-France-Austria League, in order to maintain the British-France relations, the London government did not accept their political asylum this time.

However, the nature of the messenger still made Johnniu take action to send them to the United States of America. This is the favorite of the European Revolutionary Party, and they like to go to the United States for political refuge, mainly for two reasons.

On the one hand, it is far away and has a low influence from the politics of various countries. The federal government likes to protect political prisoners, and everyone's safety is guaranteed.

On the other hand, in terms of economy, the United States of America has developed well and is another European immigrant country where funds can be obtained from their compatriots.

If we only start from the perspective of security, we are actually more hidden in a vast and sparsely populated colony. We can build a farm in a certain countryside and live an isolated life.

There are very few people who choose to take refuge in the colony unless they do earth-shaking things, are chased and forced to make a comeback.

The end of the Italian revolution marked the stability of the French rule in the local area. After the purge in the war, the Italian anti-French forces suffered a devastating blow.

Originally, France threatened everyone a lot. This threat was not from human resources, economy, or industry, but more from the shadow left by the Napoleon era.

The French claim to be the world's largest army power, and no European countries expressed opposition, which is enough to illustrate the problem.

Otherwise, in terms of human resources, Russia and Austria are twice that of the French region; in terms of industry, Britain and Austria are above France; in terms of economy, John Bull is far superior to France.

If France would be far behind Britain and Austria according to the calculation method of the comprehensive national strength of later generations, it would be equal to the Russian Empire. Even if there was a gap, it would not be too big.

However, on the European continent, France brings the most intense sense of crisis to everyone.

Don’t look at Austria’s territory is larger and its population is larger. However, in everyone’s impression, the Balkans are wilderness, and the Hungarian area is also a small countryside.

Not to mention the Russian Empire, the concept of barbarians was deeply rooted in people's hearts. After the defeat of the Prussian-Russian War, everyone's attention to them decreased.

In everyone's impression, France, which was already very powerful, has now annexed the rich Italian region, and European countries are generally anxious about the expansion of the French.

There is no problem. Italy gave everyone the impression of being rich in this era. Even Sicily, which was poor and backward in later generations, is now a rich country.

After annexing the Italian region, France's population, economy and resources were enhanced, and the Great French Empire became even more prosperous.

Faced with this situation, European countries are striving to use diplomatic means to ensure their own security while avoiding conflicts with France or other countries.

As the leader of power politics, Napoleon III's forced annexation of the Italian region is not difficult to understand. In addition to paving the way for his son, it is also to mobilize national sentiment and strengthen the cohesion of the country.

This is the price that a powerful country in history must pay, as Engels commented: forcibly annexing the Italian region is the best way for the French autocratic system to last forever.

Otherwise, Napoleon III would have been the Italian emperor, and it would be more convenient to rule, and the Italian people would not be so resistant.

This is somewhat similar between France and Austria, but Franz had the banner of the Shenluo Empire that could be used. His legal basis was very sufficient. The people of the German state were not in conflict, but Napoleon III did not.

Great France was established, and Napoleon III had completed the great cause of annexation to Italy, although it was not harmful to lose Lombardy and Venetia.

Moreover, after two areas were missing, the difficulty of ruling was reduced.

The French naturally knew the cost of forcibly annexing the Italian region, but they were confident that they could suppress the Italians with their own strength.

In this case, of course, it is better to have a smaller area in Italy. It is not too late to expand after digesting the results.

The previous annexation of the Kingdom of Sardinia has provided reference for the French, and with its strong strength, it is easy to establish rule in the local area.

The current rebound is that I have been in full swing all of a sudden and I have no time to digest it.

In order to establish a stable international situation to digest the results, Napoleon III repeatedly issued statements claiming that France is a "satisfied" country and will not continue to expand on the European continent.

This kind of comfort cannot ease everyone's anxiety, and governments in reality have to accept this statement.

What Napoleon III was most worried about was to fall into isolation. Just like during the anti-French war, the powerful France was dragged down by enemies from all sides.

In order to avoid the worst situation, Napoleon III accepted the unpredictable British people to join the French-Austrian alliance. While the three countries of Britain, France and the Austria formed an alliance, he was also easing relations with the Russian Empire.

Today is different from the past. The current Russian Empire is no longer a threat to France. In order to go further, the French government has called for a "France-Russia alliance".

There is no doubt that this kind of call was ignored by Napoleon III. The alliance between France and Russia is simpler to say but difficult to do. The alliance between Russia and Austria, and the alliance between Britain, France and the alliance between Britain, France and the alliance between the three countries is a hurdle that cannot be avoided.

Unless the Vienna government goes crazy, the French-Russian alliance will be allowed to appear. The British also do not want to see such alliances appear. You should know that he has personally taken action to split the French-Australia alliance.

If there is another French-Russian alliance, it wouldn't be a collapse? John Niu doesn't think that the Pu'Australia countries sandwiched in the middle are opponents of the French-Russian alliance. This alliance is even more terrifying than the French-Australia alliance.

At least the French-Austrian alliance still has a deep conflict of interest, so it is not difficult to destroy this alliance. If it were the French-Russian alliance, it would be different. The two countries do not directly border and have a small conflict of interest between each other. It is not easy to split the alliance.

Unlike the original time and space, the current Great French Empire is the largest continental power, at least on the surface.

After annexation of Italy, France's total population reached 55 million, and its total economic output jumped to surpass Britain. The total industrial output was only the same as Britain and Austria, and the gap was very limited.

There is also the world's second-largest navy in military terms and the world's first-largest army. This strength is terrifying. Who dares to let them form an alliance with the Russians again?

France and Russia just moved closer, which caused an uproar internationally. European countries could not stand it, and the Vienna government could not sit still.

At the Vienna Palace, looking at the nervous people, Franz comforted: "Don't worry, the British want to split the Franco League, and the choice is to join this alliance.

We are now allied with France and Russia at the same time. If they form an alliance, we are in this alliance.

It is much faster to defeat an alliance internally than to go from the outside. Moreover, now the French want to digest the results, while the Russians are still busy with reforms.

Even if they want to form an alliance, they will never choose this time. In addition to arousing the fear of European countries, can this alliance play other roles?

If we really want to form an alliance, at least they still need a common enemy. The Kingdom of Prussia is not qualified, so it seems that we are not so hateful now, right?"

Franz can conclude that France and Russia were firing a shot, and it was completely speculated based on interests. This alliance has the possibility of establishment, but lacks the motivation to establish it.

Both France and Russia now need to resolve internal conflicts. Even if the two countries form an alliance, they cannot expand externally at this time, and they will not be able to gain more benefits from the European continent.

The British, French and Austrian alliance has divided up the voice of most parts of the world, which has become a certain fact. The French will definitely be blocked at this time.

Alexander II was still carrying out internal reforms and was unable to share the pressure for them at this time. Napoleon III did not have the confidence to do so.

You should know that Napoleon III was a British-phobic patient. The fact that he was able to overcome this disease was the confidence given to him. Most of the fears left deep in his heart.

When the Russians couldn't help, it was too embarrassing to let him fight against the pressure of Britain and the Austrians alone.

Foreign Minister Wesenberg shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, no matter how small the possibility is, we must eliminate the crisis in the cradle.

In order to avoid the worst situation, we must also make emergency plans. Negotiations with the British must be accelerated, and when necessary, we must also prepare to form an alliance with the Prussians."

This answer surprised Franz. Judging from the map, isn’t this a replica of the original space-time continental pattern?

What made him feel relieved was that Austria was much stronger than the original time and space, and this possible alliance was also stronger than the "German and Austrian League".

The alliance has half the Mediterranean and half the Balkans, adding Poland, Belarus, Lithuania and Latvia, and three quarters of Italy are missing.

As one goes up and down, the overall strength is not at a disadvantage. Of course, the premise is that the British will not end, and it is not the alliance between Britain, France and Russia, but it will still be a life.

Soon Franz gave up this idea, it was too dangerous. Franz, who was not standing on a dangerous wall, was still unwilling to take such adventures.

Even if you can win on land, you will be a delivery of vegetables at sea. A Prussian-Russian war dispelled the idea of ​​developing a navy in the Kingdom of Prussia. It was unreliable to fight Britain and France alone by the Austrian navy.

It would be better to simply destroy the Ottoman Empire and build a railway to connect to the Suez Canal, which is even more successful.

Franz made a quick decision: "We can strengthen our relations with Prussia, but don't do too much for the time being. France and Russia are just getting closer. If we do too much, it will stimulate them.

Judging from the current situation, it is impossible for France and Russia to jointly expand abroad within at least twenty years. As long as the Prat-Russia war is promoted before France and Russia form an alliance, the worst situation will not happen."

Obviously Franz's position has changed and he is ready to let the Russians lose again. According to the appetite of the Junker nobles, if the Tsarist government loses again, do they believe it or not to occupy St. Petersburg?

Once the Tsarist government collapses and Austria takes advantage of the situation, the Russians should not want to rise again in the next few decades, and they may even lose the opportunity to rise forever.

Just look at the map and you will know why. If you lose the war and lose the fertile soil of Eastern Europe, you can't work hard in Siberia, right?

Now the populations of Russia and Austria are almost the same. Once the Tsarist government fails again and loses a large area of ​​territory and population, the bear will no longer be scary.

Of course, the sequelae of doing this is also very serious. Prussia must be seriously damaged, otherwise another dangerous neighbor will appear next door.

There is no way, who made Alexander II jump out at this sensitive moment to stimulate Franz's nerves?
