Shortly after the Russian-Austrian agreement was exposed, the Berlin government also made a tit-for-tat disclosure of the British-Public Debt Agreement and the French-Public Debt Agreement.

Confidentiality does not exist, and now is the time to increase morale. If there is no favorable news, how can the people in the country bravely participate in the war?

International loans have always been linked to politics. While providing funds, they also mean that everyone is taking sides.

Britain and France supported the Popo Federation, Austria and Nordic Federations supported the Russian Empire, and other European countries also took sides.

The Netherlands, Belgium, Belgium, Portugal, Spain, the German Federation and other countries prefer the Popo Federation, Greece, and Montenegro to support Russia.

The Popo Federation still has an advantage in international support, but the Russian Empire has a stronger potential in war, and both sides are equally matched.

The Vienna Palace was not surprised by the Russian diplomatic failure. With the diplomatic ability of the Tsarist government, it was able to win over the Nordic Federation, which was all performed beyond its level.

Denmark played an important role in this. If the Danes had not worked hard, even with Austrian guarantees, the Tsarist government would have easily allowed the Nordic Federation to pay for it.

After all, the grudge between the Russians and Sweden has passed for several decades, and the older generation has died, and the new generation has not felt it deeply; but the grudge between Prussia and Denmark is different. It has only been more than ten years of hard work and everyone has remembered it deeply.

No matter how hatred the Russians have, they went to war with Prussia for Denmark, and most of the Danes have a good impression of the Tsarist government.

Although the Nordic Federation is Sweden as its core, the central government must also consider the emotions of the Danish people in the country when making decisions.

Moreover, the conditions given by the Tsarist government are really attractive. With the guarantee of the Vienna government, the risk of debt default has been greatly reduced.

The worst result is that you can also take the opportunity to make a war fortune. Kroner is not an international currency. The Russians have nowhere to use it except buying and buying in the Nordic Federation.

If you are lucky, you can still take Finland without any bloodshed, and you will make a fortune.

The public opinion in the outside world has exploded, and there are many different opinions about this upcoming war.

Some even divide the European world into two major camps, and regard this Prussian-Russian War as a game between Britain, France and the Austrians.

These messy news did not affect Franz's good mood. The current situation is completely based on the plot he set in advance, and at most there is a little difference.

Putting down the newspaper in his hand, Franz: "First allocate 100 million ASCH shields to the Russians, let the Tsarist government do it boldly!"

Loans also require installments, and in a short period of time, banks cannot withdraw hundreds of millions of cash from ASCHEU without affecting their own operations.

Not to mention the bonds, they have just begun to go public and will not be sold out in a few months. In the short term, the Tsarist government will not get the money.

Being able to get 100 million ASUS in a short period of time is definitely a preferential treatment, and normal commercial loans are definitely not so fast.

...

Money is a hero. The Russians who got the money completely let go and immediately recruited troops nationwide.

In the Winter Palace, Alexander II was listening to his son's reward. He could not get support from Britain and France, so Alessandrovic's trip to Europe naturally ended in a hurry.

"You mean, Britain, France and the Austrians are conspiring to make both of us suffer?"

Alexander II was surprised that the current situation was beyond his previous expectations.

Originally, Alexander II fantasized about eased relations with Britain and France, so that they could remain neutral in the war, at least at the beginning of the war, but did not expect that they would all do useless work.

Alessandrovic nodded: "Although there is no direct evidence to prove this, it can be seen from the current practices of the Three Kingdoms.

The negotiations before were so difficult, but an agreement was suddenly reached later, which was obviously abnormal.

If you analyze the time turning point of the negotiation, you will find that after Britain and Pratt reached an agreement, the Austrians suddenly made major concessions to us and no longer required us to mortgage all the gold.

It is the end of October now, and it will be winter in two months at most. In such a short time, it is impossible to decide the winner.

However, the money was in place at this time and the enemy had begun to expand its troops extensively.

If the war is delayed until the beginning of next spring, the enemies we face will not be the hundreds of thousands of now, but millions of armed troops."

The Russian army has certain advantages in winter combat, but this advantage needs to be divided into time and place.

This is an advantage when defending locally. If you want to take the initiative to attack, the situation will be different.

Not all places have this cold in winter, Russia is so cold, at least the Polish region is not cold enough.

After wandering for a few steps, Alexander II laughed at himself and said, "It doesn't matter, it's still good for us in general.

It seems that the impact of our last failure has not subsided. The Austrians are not optimistic about us and are worried that we will lose everything.

This is a good thing. This judgment will allow the Vienna government to increase its support for us in the early stage. If we can take advantage of this opportunity and hit the enemy hard this winter, the situation will be completely different."

After years of imperial career, Alexander II has matured and has become a qualified monarch. He can find the advantage in the shortest time and strive to amplify this advantage.

The foundation of the Popo Federation is not strong, and if it fails once, it will be severely damaged. If it is severely damaged, it will definitely not be able to recover in one winter.

In contrast, the Russian Empire has much greater advantages. With its population advantage, even if it fails, a winter will be enough to recover.

Crown Prince Alexandrovich wanted to speak but stopped, and proposed the conspiracy of Britain, France and Austria in order to prevent the outbreak of the war, but reality told him that it was impossible.

The power of hatred is huge. Even if you know this news, you cannot shake Alexander II's determination to start a war.

Deep down, Alexander II was unwilling to start a war at this time. But he had no choice, and the Russian Empire had no choice.

If they don't take action now and wait until the enemy is ready, their chances of winning will be even lower.

The Russian Empire is too big. Several major railway trunk lines have been built, and traffic cannot be greatly improved in the short term. However, the enemy on the opposite side can. After another year or two, the domestic railway network of the Pubo Federation has been formed.

...

Army Secretary Paradrew Wald: "Your Majesty, we are ready for war and can launch an attack just by just your order.

As of yesterday afternoon, we have mobilized 1.68 million troops, and this number is still increasing at a rate of 150,000 per month, of which 820,000 troops have gathered on the border.

All strategic materials on the front line are ready, enough to support the needs of one million troops in half a year of combat.

In addition, we have also stored a large amount of food in the major cities along the way, which can be allocated nearby to minimize logistical pressure."

There is no doubt that in this war, the Russians had much more preparation than the last one. A large amount of strategic materials were transported to the front line in advance for storage, so that the army and other logistics would not be embarrassed as soon as the war began.

Facts have proved that Alexander II's reforms were not in vain. Compared with the past, the efficiency and execution of the Tsarist government were greatly improved.

War makes people grow, and this sentence is not true at all. After being beaten once, the Tsarist government established a wartime mobilization mechanism in a bumpy and bumpy manner.

The effect is, this needs to be tested. However, the garbage mobilization mechanism is better than the original one who directly drags serfs to the battlefield.

After pondering for a while, Alexander II made a decision: "The shame can only be washed with blood. Since it is ready, declare war on Pubo!"

...

While the Tsarist government decided to launch a war, the war machines of the Popo Federation were also running, and senior Berlin government officials were holding a meeting around a sand table of about ten square meters.

As early as a year ago, Marshal Mokch resigned from his position as prime minister and returned to the General Staff.

Moltke, who picked up the baton, is much better than being the prime minister. In fact, for so many years of his prime ministerial career, he has been busy with military construction for most of his time and rarely asked about political issues.

As the Prime Minister, he is the result of compromise on the interests of all parties, and his personal ability is the least important.

Prussia has a country in the army, and the Popo Federation has inherited this very well. The military has a great political voice. Without Bismarck, no one can suppress these arrogant soldiers and generals.

William I was very capable, but as a king, it was impossible for him to end everything himself, so he could only find a way to balance politics.

Moltke pointed at the sand table with his baton and explained: "Your Majesty, look at the blue flag is the Russian army's military force. The enemy has deployed about 800,000 troops along the border line.

This is just the beginning. The enemy has also accumulated a large amount of troops in the rear and can increase the front line at any time.

It is October now, and it is not far from winter. If you want to fight quickly, it is almost impossible to defeat the enemy in a short period of time.

The General Staff plans to launch an attack from the Polish region before winter comes, striving to burn the war to the Dnieper River and cut off the enemy's water transportation channels."

The Dnieper River originates from the southern foot of the Valde Hills, flows southward through Belarus, Ukraine, and injects into the Black Sea. Most rivers can be navigated, and their strategic and economic values ​​are very high.

Through this water lifeline, the Russians can directly transport supplies from Austria to the hands of the Russian army on the front line.

In the last war, it was also after the Prussian army cut off this water lifeline, which increased the transportation pressure of the Russians, and the Russian army on the front line fell into the dilemma of insufficient materials.
