Any huge strategy requires long-term preparation and cannot be completed overnight. Austria's primary strategy is to promote the Second Industrial Revolution and develop the African continent.

The Middle East can only rank second. As for other strategies, they are all about hunting for grass and fighting rabbits. It is good if they succeed, but it doesn’t matter if they fail.

If you spend a few more decades, the overall situation will be decided. This is to learn from Americans. No matter what, the experience of successful people is always worthy.

It is not easy to fool all countries into traps. Now is an era of many heroes, and there are too many smart people.

In recent years, the French have been hiding their strengths and digesting the results of war. Napoleon III's physical problems have occurred, and they are busy paving the way for Napoleon IV.

Under this background, the French obviously would not take the blame for the world and make trouble. If they wanted to plot against them, they would have no way to do so.

Franz estimated that not only Napoleon III would adopt a conservative strategy in his last days, but after Napoleon IV succeeded to the throne, France would still adopt a conservative strategy for a long time.

European countries, including Austria, support the Italian independence movement, but this was useless. France easily suppressed these small storms at its peak.

Don’t look at the original time and space Prussia’s bet, but you think that France is vulnerable. In fact, the combat effectiveness of the French army is still at the top of the world. If Napoleon III hadn’t run to command blindly, the final outcome would still be unknown.

The French only surpassed European countries after Britain and Austria. If we calculate based on various factors, the Russian Empire, which followed closely behind, was less than half of that of France.

Modern wars are all about logistics. Industrial countries have too much advantage over agricultural countries and cannot be compensated by the number of people.

In order to complete the plan smoothly, the Vienna government conspired with the Russians to deal with the Ottoman Empire, while also organizing activities within Prussia.

...

In a manor outside Berlin, Prussian radicals are engaged in a plot.

The host of the conference, Earl Marcel Jenson, the leader of the young Junker nobleman, "Everyone, we just received a message through a secret channel that the Russians are trying to win over Austria into the Ottoman Empire."

The atmosphere inside suddenly became tense, although everyone had no good impression of the Ottoman Empire, many people even wanted to see the Ottoman Empire ended.

But it is definitely not now. When fighting against the Russians, the great enemy, the Ottoman Empire was still an ally of Prussia.

The last Prattoral War proved the role of the Ottoman Empire. At the critical moment of the Prattoral War, the Ottoman Empire stabbed the Russians in the back, accelerating the time when the Tsarist government gave in.

A young officer asked nervously, "Her Earl, has the Vienna government agreed?"

Allies are allies, but Prussia and Ottomans are separated by Austria. Once something happens, they will be out of reach.

Faced with the joint efforts of Russia and Austria, the Ottoman Empire at its peak may not be timid, and now they are not able to deal with any of them.

Marcel Jenson shook his head, "I don't know. Even if there are more than ten people in Austria and Russia, it is impossible to leak it. If it were not for chance, we would not have received any news from their secret contacts.

However, with the grudge between the Habsburg dynasty and the Ottoman Empire, it is a matter of time before Austria attacks the Ottoman Empire."

This is equivalent to a disguised confirmation, and it is not their fault that they came to this conclusion. When you open the history book, you will know that the Habsburgs and the Ottoman Empire have been entangled for hundreds of years.

The continental hegemony of the Habsburg dynasty, or most of the world hegemony, was overthrown by the "Drage Saint Alliance" formed by the Ottoman Empire and France. At the time of crisis, the Habsburg dynasty almost lost Vienna.

France is strong and it is too difficult to seek revenge on them. Now there is little conflict of interest between France and the two sides are very likely to start working.

The Ottoman Empire is different. It is not only a feud with Austria, but more importantly, the Ottoman has declined.

Being behind will be beaten, this is the essence of the world.

If Austria attacks other countries, it may also have to consider the pressure of European public opinion and domestic public opinion. However, if you attack the Ottoman Empire, you don’t have to think about anything and just do it.

This is how the Ottoman Empire attracts hatred. European governments may oppose it for the sake of interests, but the people will never mind the Ottoman Empire being beaten.

Young officer Moltke, "What should I do? If the Austrians and the Russians join forces, the Ottomans will definitely not be able to stop it. Even if we want to intervene, it will be useless."

"Yes, there is Austria in the middle, and we can't even support them."

"Why would you start the Prussian-Russian War in advance?"

"No, that will drag Austria into the water."

...

Looking at the crowd talking, Marcel Jenson waved his hand to signal Jing Jing.

"The situation is not that bad for everyone. It is also an opportunity for us to take action against the Ottoman Empire.

Countless evidence shows that allies are unreliable and they still have to rely on their own strength at critical moments.

If we could annex Poland while the Russians and Austria were held back, then the situation would be completely different.”

Speaking of this, Marcel Jenson stopped and left time for everyone to digest the content.

Annexation of Poland is not news. This voice has always been heard in the Kingdom of Prussia, and it has almost become invincible for the capture of the Kingdom of Poland.

After the merger of Pubo, although his overall strength is still lagging behind Russia, his strength to be invested in the battlefield will definitely not be much worse than that of the Russians.

Poland had developed water transportation, and several more railways were built to make up for it, and the transportation problem was solved. However, the Tsarist government could not solve the transportation problem in less than decades.

Even if the Russian army is prepared in advance, the Russian army will not be short of food, but strategic materials are still a big problem. Not all materials can be stored in advance, and many things cannot be stored for a long time.

These advantages may not be enough to win the war for Prussia, but it is still possible to maintain the home business.

It is true that there are many Russians, but there are many people after the merger of Pubo, nearly half of the Russians. It is difficult for the Tsarist government to win the war with the human-sea tactics.

Little Moltke, "Your Excellency the Earl, this is probably difficult to do. The Ottoman Empire is no longer the Ottoman Empire two hundred years ago, and they do not have the ability to restrain Russia and Austria at the same time.

Besides, if we want to annex Poland, it is impossible for European countries to agree, and even Britain and France will most likely oppose it."

This is the key to the problem. If everyone had not opposed it, Prussia would have annexed Poland as soon as the Prussian-Russian War ended.

Marcel Jenson smiled leisurely, "This is going to test skills. Everyone is familiar with Austria's establishment of the new Shenluo Empire!

We can also follow what Metternich relies on to make European countries compromise. We can first create established facts, and then give up some of the benefits according to the actual situation in exchange for recognition from various countries.

The main purpose is to convince Britain, France and the Austrians that the Russians are already enemies and their position is not important.

We must believe in the capabilities of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and it is not impossible to convince the three countries. For example, if we support Austria's annexation of the German Federation, I don't believe that the Vienna government is not moved. The Austrians took this step, can Britain and France still care about us?"

In order to take the Prussian Kingdom a step further, Marcel Jenson did not mind making concessions. If it weren't for the fact that there were more "second-second" among the people present, he would also say that the Rhineland region was ceded to France.

After dealing with France and Austria, it has actually created a certain fact. Even if the British are dissatisfied with them, they will not care about them.

Someone who is interested has guessed Marcel Jason's plan, but for his own benefit, no one has broken this window paper.

If you look closely, you will find that the attendees of this meeting were basically military Junkers, or "agricultural Junkers". Most of their interests lie on the land. For them, the good land of Poland is much more important than the bad land of the north.

A young officer opposed, "No, Lord Earl. If you give up the German Federal Empire, no one in Austria can control it. Even if we annex Poland, we will not be their opponent."

Austria's strength is already very strong. European countries tacitly suppress Austria's unification of the German region, and the Kingdom of Prussia is also one of them.

Marcel Jenson shook his head, "Race, you are still too young. Who is the most anxious about Austria annexing the German Federation?

Our enemies are the Russians now. It is not our mission to curb Austria, and Britain and France will not watch them expand."

This kind of willfulness was not original to Marcel Jenson, he learned it from Austria.

On the surface, the Vienna government is too willing but not enough, and it seems that every time it wants to curb its competitors, it responds one step slower.

In fact, if you look at the changes in Austria's map, you will know that there is something wrong with it.

It is not just allowing France and Russia to expand, it is clearly a secret transaction and everyone expands together. This made Marcel Jenson very moved. Austria can do this, why can't Prussia follow suit?

...

The seeds have been planted and are waiting to take root and sprout.

After the secret meeting, Marcel Jenson appeared in the palace with a light car in a simplified manner the next day. He also served as Little William's equestrian teacher, so it was normal to enter the palace.

On the royal racetrack, several princes were undergoing riding training, and William I was on the court at some point.

"How did they react?"

Marcel Jenson "Everyone supports the annexation of Poland, and only a few people oppose the abandonment of the German Federation, but I convinced him."

William I nodded, "Well, start pushing secretly next. Don't rush to emerge before the Near East War begins again."

"Yes, your Majesty!"

...

If anyone hears the conversation between the two, they will definitely be shocked. The supporter behind the radical faction is actually William I.

It’s not surprising to think about it carefully. As a monarch, it is normal to arrange a few confidants into various organizations. If an extremist organization such as radical groups is not included in his own hands, the monarch will not be at ease!

The king's strength depends on his strength. If he has nothing in his hand, what else would he want besides being an eraser seal?

William I was not at this moment. This suggestion was proposed by his staff, who very much suspected that Austria or France was secretly instructing him.

However, for the sake of interests, William I decided to pretend to be confused. He asked Austria to annex the German Federation and ceded the Rhineland to France. He really thought he was a fool. I wonder what political consequences would this bring?

At that point, nationalists in the country were about to riot. While accepting this plan, William I was ready to deal with it.

Poland wanted to annex, but the German Federation also wanted to preserve it, and the Rhineland region could not be ceded to France.

Just wait for a suitable opportunity to expose the news to the British and let them take action to destroy the mastermind's plan, so that Prussia can get the best interests.
