Chapter 153, can't solve the problem, just
Although the conditions between the two sides were very different, the negotiations went very smoothly after the reconciliation of all parties.
It is impossible to lose money. Even if the Sudanese government is willing to lose money, they cannot afford it. The war has broken down their wallets.
The current Ottoman Empire has actually gone bankrupt. Not only is it suspended to pay international debts, but the salaries of domestic public officials cannot be paid.
Austria launched this war not to blackmail the war compensation. Although it called out an astronomical figure, it was just a sky-high price.
Cutting land if you don’t have money is also a common practice in the European continent. In fact, there is nothing to talk about in this regard, and it is impossible for those who have been eaten to vomit it out again.
Austria's requirements are not high. In addition to the more than 100,000 square kilometers of land in the occupied area, it also adds Jerusalem and the Arabian Peninsula.
The Ottoman Empire had long lost its actual control over the Arabian Peninsula, and Austria only wanted the legitimacy of nominally ruling the Arabian Peninsula.
Jerusalem is the one that really troubles the Sudanese government. This is not a strategic or economic problem. The declining Ottoman Empire is no longer qualified to talk about Middle East strategy, mainly due to religious troubles.
But on this issue, European countries have no support for them. Politicians are also human beings, and they also have emotions and desires. It is important to curb Austria, but it is not worth it to trap themselves.
No one can bear the charge of betraying the holy land. On this issue, support for the Ottoman Empire, and the people's spits can spit them to death.
Under normal circumstances, such controversial negotiations will last for a long time, but unfortunately, conflicts within the Ottoman Empire continue to intensify and war refugees are devouring the country.
Austria can afford to delay, but the Sudanese government cannot hold on. If the war is not over quickly and the refugees are sent back to resume production, the spring plowing next year will be over.
As an agricultural country, the Ottoman Empire's family was not rich, and this war had exhausted its family. Once the spring plowing cannot proceed smoothly, they will not be able to withstand the great famine that broke out next year.
In contrast, the negotiations between the Ottoman Empire and the Russians were in a deadlock. The Tsarist government wanted to take back the Caucasus region lost in the last war, but also wanted to get the Black Sea Strait, and also made compensation claims.
From the Russians' standpoint, their requirements are in line with actual needs. Alexander II needs to give a big victory to offset the bad impact of the last war failure.
The war has been won, and the Caucasus region that was lost last time must be taken back. For the Russian Empire, the strategic position of the Black Sea Strait is very important, and the Tsarist government has no way to let go.
The Tsarist government was so poor that it wanted to ask for war reparations to make up for the finances. There were too many requirements, so the Ottoman Empire naturally could not accept it.
Austria and the Russians are still allies, and this war was launched together again. The Russian-Turkey negotiations have not ended, so the armistice treaty naturally cannot be signed.
Franz was also shocked by the lion of the Tsarist government. He finally understood why "greed" is indispensable for everyone's evaluation of the Russians.
This is not ordinary greed. If the Russians sent troops alone to fight the current results, then the conditions of the Tsarist government would be barely reasonable, but the problem is that they do not have such strong strength.
As long as Austria stops distributing logistics supplies, the Russian army on the front will collapse soon. The Tsarist government is now out of money to fight for the expedition.
Franz did not think that Alexander II was a fool. The tsarist government must have known such obvious truths. It would be a bit intriguing to continue to insist on such excessive conditions.
"What did the Russians say, do they still want to continue this war?"
Now is the best time to destroy the Ottoman Empire. With the hatred between the Russians and the Ottoman Empire, it is not surprising that the Tsarist government wants to take the opportunity to kill them.
Foreign Minister Wesenberg: "Your Majesty, the Tsarist government seems to be swaying. They are worried about international pressure and do not want to let the Ottoman Empire go.
With the current situation, every day the war dragged on, it would bring heavy losses to the Ottomans. Despite the signing of the armistice treaty, the Russian troops on the front line still did not stop their sabotage operations.
Expel the surrounding people, tinker with farmland, roads, water conservancy projects, destroy urban infrastructure, and blow up *** Temple..."
These are all customs of the Russian-Turkish war. Once it is determined that it cannot be occupied, it will cause great damage. Franz chose to work with the Russians, in addition to reducing the cost of the war, it also required the Russians to attract hatred.
The international image also needs to be highlighted. After the Russian atrocities, even if the Austrian army occasionally becomes a little out of order, it is nothing.
Franz asked in confusion: "You mean the Russians want to take the opportunity to weaken the national strength of the Ottoman Empire, but is this necessary?"
Since the war has been going on, the Ottoman Empire has actually been abolished. Hundreds of thousands of young and strong people have fallen on the battlefield, millions of refugees have been born, all of the coastal areas have been turned into white, and civil wars have also broken out in the country.
Based on Franz's experience, it is estimated that the number of casualties caused by this war will probably exceed two million. Only one-quarter of the actual deaths on the battlefield, and most of them died on the way to escape.
The biggest black hand is hunger, followed by disease and refugees who flee together. In the face of life and death, human nature is the most untestable.
The Ottoman Empire had been greatly damaged, and the civil war would continue next. Now, because of the foreign war, the life and death of the Ottoman Empire was related to the life and death of the Ottoman Empire, forcing the reformists and conservatives to join forces temporarily.
Once the war is over, the situation will change. After this wave of stimulation, I don’t know how many revolutionary parties will emerge. Whether the Sudanese government can survive this disaster is a question.
Wesenberg: "Your Majesty, no matter how weak the Ottoman Empire is, it has such a large size. No one knows whether they will be reborn from the ashes.
In normal times, the Russians would not be afraid of their threats, but at the moment when the Prussian-Russian War could break out at any time, the Tsarist government had to be cautious."
People can grow up, learn from one's mistakes, and after learning a lesson, the Russians also learn from them.
There is no way to fight on multiple fronts. Has hatred been too much over the years and cannot be resolved for a while. It doesn’t matter when the Russian Empire is strong, but when it declines, it will be very deadly.
A century-old enemy like the Ottoman Empire doesn’t have to consider resolving hatred at all, and it’s best to kill it directly.
Nationalism has flourished in the Near East in recent years, and the Tsarist government has also contributed. Once the Sudanese government, which relies on religious rule, collapses, the multiethnic country will be broken.
After the split, the Ottomans were destined to fall into national and religious revenge, and completely lost their strength to threaten the Russians.
After thinking it through, Franz made a decision: "Then let Britain and France put pressure on the Russians, and we will support them symbolically."
If you want to drag Austria into the water, you don’t even have a window. Franz also wants to keep the Ottoman Empire to attract the attention of European countries. It would be even better if Britain and France could give blood transfusions to the Sudan government.
History has long proved that the decaying last dynasty has never been scary, but the new countries may have a stronger combat power.
Of course, this is a very small number. Most of the new regimes are limited by internal contradictions and lack experience in governing local areas, which makes the country messed up.
A country like the Ottoman Empire with serious ethnic and religious contradictions will become a protracted civil war once it splits.
Originally, the time and space were the choice son of Kyle, who had cheated, and there was a later Türkiye, but compared with the Ottoman Empire, it still shrank by most.
Now there is no need to consider whether this famous Turkish founding father has a chance to be born is an unknown.
You should know that the butterfly effect is terrifying. This Near East war changed the fate of many people. Maybe the parents of the chosen son met in advance.
In the face of the torrent of history, personal power is insignificant. Franz does not think that the Ottoman Empire may have a possibility of revival. This war has actually put an end to this old empire.
...
Prime Minister Felix proposed: "His Majesty, the Kingdom of Jerusalem has been taken back, and now we have to consider governance.
Because of religious beliefs, the local people do not support us. I suggest reaching an extradition agreement with the Ottoman Empire and sending all the Ottomans back."
There is a precedent for repatriation back to China. During the previous expansion, the Vienna government sent all the Ottomans back, which avoided ethnic and religious conflicts.
Franz nodded and added: "It is not enough to just return the Ottomans to return home. The Jerusalem area is almost becoming a desert, and we must also solve the problem of desertification in the land.
Previously, experts proposed that the land of local land was very constructive for twenty years. Jerusalem is a religious holy land, and there is no need to develop industry and agriculture in the local area, and it is enough to develop the tourism economy."
In this era, people were poor and the tourism economy could not develop. There are exceptions, no matter how poor people were, they were still rich. For example, after Vienna became a city that never sleeps, it attracted many people to come.
Not to mention Jerusalem, it is not afraid of no one going to have a special religious status. Not to mention that it can make a fortune, but it is still possible to maintain the operation of local governments.
Land fallow is inevitable. Austria itself is an agricultural exporter and does not lack this grain output at all.
