In the Milan palace, the Vettelsbach family is having a final discussion on whether to give up the Greek throne.

This problem is actually easy to solve. Unlike the original time and space Otto I was kicked off the stage, Otto I died naturally this time, and many senior Greek government officials were brought by Otto I from Bavaria.

With the support of Austria, these people still hold power. The foundation of the Vettelsbach family in Greece has not been damaged, and the heirs sent can stabilize the situation in the shortest time.

This is also the reason why Franz tends to support the Vettelsbach family. If he changes to a foreign king, it will be difficult to control Greece.

Although Otto I was not a successful king, he was not a waste. Greece lost in the Near East War, but the king was the winner.

With the swords of the British and French Ottomans, Otto I successfully eliminated dissidents. Until now, the radical groups in Greece have not recovered their vitality.

One of the few nobles and capitalists is smart, so it’s okay to shout slogans. Anyone who believes that he can “rebuild Rome” will definitely be a fool.

After a series of social beatings, Greece's strategic goals became smaller and smaller, and degenerated from the initial "reconstruction of Rome" to the "Gree Greece".

Even the "Greater Greece" is actually not small at all. It is about seven or eight times the territory is now, and it may be even larger.

George I proposed to "establish a large Greek country with Constantinople as its capital and Athens as its economic center", and this was also criticized by Greek patriots.

Judging from the map, the plan is about one third of the Balkans and one quarter of Türkiye, including many islands in the Aegean Sea and Cyprus.

This plan is not too much, and Greece almost achieved its goal in the original space-time. Unfortunately, it was just a little short of it, so it still failed.

It's a tragedy now. The road to expansion has been blocked by Austria. It's the same whether to reduce the target or not, and there is no hope of success at all.

The Greek radical group's anti-Australia was unwilling to let the dream of a great power be broken. However, in the face of cruel reality, they had too few supporters.

In this context, with Austria's support, it is not difficult to hold the Greek throne as long as the domestic ability passes the test.

...

In Warsaw, after receiving a diplomatic reply from Austria, the Polish government did not even have Christmas.

There was no way. Originally, they wrote a note to Austria, with the main purpose of provoking a wave of verbal battles, taking advantage of the people's patriotic enthusiasm to divert everyone's attention.

The reason why I chose Austria was mainly because I had no choice. It is easier to scold Russians, but after scolding them for a long time, the people became numb.

Except for some radicals who wanted to expand their territory to Moscow, most of the Poles were no longer interested in the land of the Russian Empire, and what they wanted now was to regain their hometown.

This part of the territory is in both Pu'Austrian countries. The Kingdom of Prussia is an ally of Poland. The pro-Prussian faction in the government is too strong and they have to join forces with Prussia to deal with the Russians. They can only engage in Austria.

The Polish government did not expect the Vienna government to respond so fiercely. The territorial disputes of Oppo have been in trouble for many years, and the Vienna government has not taken extreme measures, which has caused many Poles to have an illusion that they will cause trouble if they accidentally use excessive diplomatic words.

Well, they don’t know that the Prussians are making trouble behind this radical diplomatic word. Otherwise, the officials of the Polish Foreign Ministry would not be so "negligent".

After receiving the threat from Austria, Polish government interim Prime Minister Dombrovsky immediately summoned foreign ministry officials and scolded him.

It is so obvious that the diplomatic note threatens Austria, and it would be strange if the Vienna government does not react fiercely.

As an international revolutionary fighter, Dombrowsky was not an ordinary person. In addition to leading the Polish uprising, he was also one of the leaders of the Paris Commune movement in the original time and space.

In the face of reality, there is still a need to compromise. In order to maintain the regime, Dongbrovsky transformed into a "monarchist faction".

The throne of Poland is vacant. In addition to the intervention of international forces, the "monarchist faction" led by Dongbrovsky does not want the king to be born, which is also an important factor.

For them, the older the time is, the better it is. When the Polish people get used to the absence of a king, then Poland does not need a king.

The premise is not to cause trouble, otherwise the situation will change once the great powers intervene. In an era when the monarchy is still strong, it is a way to start a rash challenge.

Foreign Minister Vulublevsky looked gloomy: "Prime Minister, the matter has been found out. The one who tampers with the document was a patriotic young man who worked in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs who committed suicide after the incident.

A suicide note was also left to explain the situation. It was mainly dissatisfied with the government's weakness on the issue of Austria, and then when submitting a note to Austria, he privately changed the documents."

The truth or falsehood of the matter is no longer important. Just think about it and you will know that there is something wrong with it. It is possible for a patriotic young man to exchange documents privately, but suicide is very nonsense.

Even though he knew something was wrong, Vulublevsky could not continue to investigate. It is the instinct of a politician. If he continues to investigate, the final result will not be borne by the Polish government.

No matter what the reason is, the Vienna government will not stop easily. After a formal diplomatic note, the consequences must be borne.

Dongbrovsky looked stern: "No need to explain to me, the question now is how to stop the Austrians.

It has been more than a day or two for the Vienna government to interfere in Poland's internal affairs. Now you have actually delivered the excuse to your door and tell me how to deal with it?"

The Polish government was still very tragic. It was influenced by European powers in politics, especially Prussia, and its autonomy was very limited.

Including social reform, the Polish government was unable to promote it according to its own will. There is no need to think about the proletarian revolution, they did not even have the bourgeois revolution to the end.

Dongbrovsky has always wanted to get rid of the influence of various countries on Poland, but he couldn't take the first step. Now the Polish army is deeply influenced by Prussia, and the military wants to gain greater power and has had a fierce collision with the government.

The Polish military always wanted to support William I and then gain the same status as the Junker nobles in Prussia.

Since there was no king, the officers who made great contributions in the war were not able to become members of the nobles.

These people have become vested interests and want to consolidate their position, they are very resistant to the various policies of the Dobrovsky government.

If it weren't for the support of Britain and France, the Dombrowsky government might have been overthrown. Prussia did not dare to offend Britain and France, and is now borrowing Austrian swords.

From the perspective of interests, it is easy to analyze the causes and consequences. Knowing whether it is known, Dongbrovsky has no more choices.

Either calm Austria's anger as soon as possible, or concentrate on your strength to fight Austria, and there is no third way to go.

Foreign Minister Vulublevsky: "We have already contacted Britain, France and the U.S. and they said they will pay close attention.

Britain and France suggested that we Austrians have the demands to suppress the anti-Olympic movements in China and apologize to calm the storm.

The Prussian government said it would not sit idly by and watch Austria invade Poland. They did not give a clear answer to what to do."

Theoretically, it is not difficult to accept Austria's conditions at all. It is nothing more than losing face and not needing to harm national interests. Most people in power know how to choose.

However, this is only theoretical. If the anti-Olympic movement is suppressed, the Polish government will lose its mass base and will not be far from its collapse.

Prussia's position is even more a mystery. With Russia, the two countries are allies. However, it is not a secret that the Berlin government wants to annex Poland.

The Prussians would not sit idly by and watch Austria invade Poland, which does not mean that Prussia will send troops to protect Poland, and perhaps they will divide Poland with Austria.

In the face of interests, it is best not to test a country's integrity, otherwise the result will be very touching.

The Chancellor of the Finance Minister Badlevski stood up: "Things are not that simple, don't forget that there are still Russians. The Russian-Austrian alliance has broken down, but it has not collapsed after all.

If the Russians take the opportunity to join in and Russia and Austria join forces, even if Britain, France and the U.S. support us together, the final result will probably not be ideal."

Badlevsky advocates compromise, and he loses face. The public foundation can be said to be the most important thing for a government or the least important thing, which depends on the specific situation.

Although it is serious to lose the public base now, there is still a chance to save it, which is better than to let the Austrians come to you.

The military, who had never seen anyone who liked to interfere in politics, was silent this time, as if they had become a little transparent person, leaving all the matter to the government for handling.

"Will the Austrians take action? I don't think so."

Dongbrovsky smiled coldly: "It is easy to defeat us, but is it in the interests of Austria?

You should know that after we are overthrown, the next government will definitely be a pro-Prussian faction. The influence of Britain and France in Poland has greatly reduced, and the possibility of William I ascending the Polish throne has increased greatly. This is not what the Vienna government wants to see.

The Polish government is so poor that the Austrians can't even collect military expenses. The Russian-Austrian alliance has not yet been dissolved. Even if they can seize a piece of land from Poland, should they return it to Russia according to morality?

I was busy working, and I was all working on making wedding dresses for others. I don’t think the Vienna government would not be able to see it.

From the beginning to the end, we did not actually harm Austria's interests, and only involved face. From the perspective of interests, the Austrians are more likely to bluff.

We are the people's government, and we cannot do anything to suppress the patriotic movement. However, the government can still apologize to the Austrians and give them a step.

I believe the Vienna government will not make a big deal. At worst, we are reducing the industrial and commercial tariffs between the two countries and giving up some of the benefits."

This is a big gamble, and whether Austria will take action with the fate of Poland. Badlevsky wanted to speak but stopped, everyone wanted to be famous, and the reputation damage brought by the suppression of the patriotism movement was too great.

The Polish government has too weak control over the military. In addition to the support of Britain and France, the support of the people is also very important. If the people are abandoned, the possibility of their regime is very low.
