The plan did not change quickly. Seeing the Frenchman who was noisy, Franz had to admit that he made a mistake in his judgment.

The table was overturned, but the French were involved, and the situation did not develop as Franz expected.

The Paris government seemed to have staged a farce, but in fact it happened to be the choice that best suits France's interests.

What France needs now is to be low-key and reduce its presence as much as possible. If it jumps out for the Rhineland region at this time, Britain and Austria, which are in a quarrel, will immediately give up their prejudices and suppress them together.

France is strong and happens to be adjacent to the Rhineland region. Geopolitics determines that this issue cannot be avoided by the French. The Paris government did not make its position, but was instead attracted by all parties.

At the Vienna Palace, looking at the information in his hand, Franz shook his head helplessly.

This time, Austria made a profit or lost money. It is still unclear whether it was profitable or not, but the Kingdom of Prussia must have made a profit.

If the British plan suddenly attacked at an international conference, there would be only one buyer of the German Federal Empire.

The forced buying business is naturally not as high as the two buyers' competitive prices. It is estimated that if you sell the Rhineland region, the Berlin government's financial crisis will pass.

Foreign Minister Wesenberg: "Your Majesty, the Berlin government has released news that it is interested in selling the Rhineland region. Now both Belgium and the German Federal Empire have expressed interest.

However, Belgium lacks the support of the great powers. Unless it can obtain the support of the French, it will be difficult to complete even if the Prussians want to sell them.

There were also problems with the German Federal Empire. Some people have raised the issue of belonging to the Rhineland region in the Imperial Parliament. Many state representatives have clearly stated that the Rhineland region must join in the state situation.

If George I had not announced the recession in time, perhaps the parliament had made a decision to cut off the possibility of direct administration of the central government."

(George I, the German Federal Empire, is: George V, Hannover, the original time and space Hannover has perished, without this monarch)

It can be seen that Wesenberg is still regretting that the German Federal Parliament has been slower. If a resolution has been made, then Austria's goal will be achieved.

As for supporting Belgium to obtain the Rhineland region, it is a cover from beginning to end. The reason is very simple, Belgium and France are too close.

Without France's support, perhaps they still have a chance to compete; if they get the support of the French, they don't even have a chance to compete.

The French are not charitable. Since they support Belgium, they will inevitably get rewards.

If the Kingdom of Prussia sold the Rhineland region to Belgium, turned around and gave the resources above to the French, wouldn't it be a waste of work?

From the perspective of industrial development, the value of resources in the Rhineland region to France is still above the Italian region.

Napoleon III took over the Italian region, and except for increasing territory, population, and market, there was almost no gain in resources, which instead made France's resource crisis even worse.

Before occupying the Italian region, the Paris government did not need to worry about the energy in the Italian region. Now it is different, and these problems have become the French's own problems.

France needs to import hundreds of thousands of tons of coal from the outside world every year, and this number will continue to rise with the development of the industry.

The impact on the French economy in the short term may not be obvious. If ten or eight years pass, France's heavy industry will fall behind.

The original time and space France became a usury empire, which was because of the lack of local resources and the need to import from the outside world increased the cost of industrial production.

As production costs are high, sales prices have to increase accordingly. This has led to many French industrial and commercial products losing their market competitiveness internationally, forcing capitalists to transform.

For the purpose of curbing the French, it is impossible to gain legal pro-French countries for the purpose of accumulating the French. This is a matter of principle.

There is no doubt that the German Federal Empire did a better job in this regard, and has been hovering among Britain and Austria diplomatically, which is more reliable than Belgium, which swung among Britain and France.

Prime Minister Felix: "Look at Belgium's choice first! If the Belgians have ambitions and want to build a strong country and can say no to the French, then giving them the Rhineland region is not impossible.

We also need a nail to curb France, and it is not possible without certain strength. Prussia was the best choice, but they developed too fast.

If we didn’t need the German unification strategy to cover it, it would be a good choice to allow Hannover to obtain the Rhineland region, integrating the German Federation would be a good choice."

If you want to take it, you must first go with it. Hannover's integration of the German Federation did not actually affect Austria's unification of the German region.

Because when Franz felt that the time was ripe and could do it, Austria already had the strength to be the world overlord and was not afraid of being beaten up.

From the perspective of interests alone, the German Federal Empire was already a useless piece of ribs. Only by taking over the Rhineland region can it be considered meat.

There are so many states in the German region. If they are put in, the Imperial Parliament will be lively. It is estimated that the future central government will have more than half of its energy to reconcile internal relations.

But the German region has been divided for hundreds of years, and the people have long been accustomed to state politics. Coupled with religious factors, changing the rules of the game will inevitably be backfired.

This must be blamed for someone, otherwise it will be ruled in crisis. The original time and space empires of Germany and Germany were unable to completely solve this problem, which is enough to illustrate the problem.

Prime Minister Felix wanted George I to take the blame. When he killed many small states, Austria would jump out to pick peaches, and the hatred value would be much less.

Franz nodded: "This question is unhurried, it is easy to make wedding dresses for others if you are too hasty.

The national policy has been formulated, so we should proceed step by step. It is a taboo to change the plan rashly. This play must be performed, and we must strive for at least ten years.

Even if it is a mistake, we will have the opportunity to do so. Even if Britain and France want to make trouble, they must have that strength."

It is Franz's minimum requirement for another ten years. If possible, it is better to spend twenty or thirty years.

By then, the French would fall behind themselves, and the Prussian and Russian countries would successfully escalate into feuds. Even if the British wanted to make trouble, they would give up because they could not find a thug.

The original time and space London government did not do its best to suppress the Americans, but chose to fight the German Empire to the death. One of the most important reasons was that it could not find a thug.

Under the butterfly effect of Franz, the industrial revolution in space-time was much faster. Not only did electricity begin to become popular in advance, but internal combustion engines were also developing much faster, and diesel engines were already born.

Although it is still in the laboratory stage and cannot be promoted and used, this is also a major advancement in the power system. When the power system develops to a certain extent, it is the turn of the aircraft to be born.

The development of the Air Force was when Austria replaced the British hegemony. This was not Franz's coward, but the Royal Navy was too powerful, so it was unrealistic to rely on the navy to directly overtake.

"By your own weaknesses, you can win the strengths of others." Isn't this tired of living? The original German Empire of Time and Space proved with facts that the British would not leave their competitors the opportunity to catch up with the Royal Navy.

Austria's geographical location is better than that of the German Empire, but the essence of multi-line combat has not changed, and it does not have the geographical advantage of the United States that dominates a continent.

The birth of the Air Force was different. Franz was not afraid of competing with the British in emerging fields. After deploying along the Mediterranean, the transportation lines between the African continent and the local area were stabilized, and Austria was also stabilized.

The population of Austria has exceeded 75 million, which is almost the same as that of the Russian Empire, more than twice that of the British population. There are more than 10 million African colonies, and the longer it takes to drag, the more obvious the population advantage.

As an old empire, he is a vested interest. Austria is now not short of resources and markets, and has no desire to challenge the world order.

The important task of challenging the world order is better to give it to the new empire. Unless there are soft persimmons to pinch, challenge the world order is a high-risk and low-reward transaction. More than 90% of the result is that the spoils are not enough to make up for the losses of the war.

From the perspective of God, old empires are not actually real enemies, new empires are the threat.

The most typical one is Britain, France and Austria. Everyone is the biggest competitor to each other and there are still many conflicts. However, not only did the three countries not break out in war, they formed an alliance first.

The biggest problem is that the motivation to start a war is insufficient. Everyone is vested interests, with large areas of colonies under their command, and their own families are full of food. Who has the intention to steal other people’s?

You should know that war also has costs. Since the First Near East War, wars that broke out directly between European countries were almost at a loss.

Even if the Prussian Kingdom, which has gained large tracts of territory as a reward, wants to make a profit, it will be a matter of decades later, and it will still be a loss of money in a short period of time.

From the perspective of investment theory, wars break out between major powers are high-risk investments, low-return investments, and are naturally unpopular.

London

All countries condemned the Russian Empire for invading Poland and encountered the Tsarist government, which was not afraid of boiling water, and naturally did not achieve any effect.

The Russians refused to withdraw their troops, and no European country would send troops to interfere. This did not affect the continued progress of the meeting. The question of whether William I was legal to serve as the king of Poland became a new focus.

Simply put, as long as the Prussian Kingdom is willing to give up the Rhineland region, William I will be the legal king of Poland, and even the merger of Prussia and Poland can be legal.

On the contrary, it goes without saying that the Iron Fist of the Imperialism will tell everyone what legitimacy is.

Axioms and justice were all vague at the London Conference. Unconsciously, everyone's moral integrity was pulled down a little.
