The Near East War became more intense, and except for the attention of politicians, it did not attract the attention of the melon-eating crowd.

The Habsburg dynasty and the Ottomans were feudal feuds, and the Tsarist government and the Ottomans were feuds, and even Greece and Montenegro were feuds of the Ottoman Empire.

With a common enemy, it is normal for the four countries to form an anti-Turkish alliance. When you open the history book, you will know that these countries fight the Ottomans every few days.

The Ottomans have fallen. They were forced to withdraw from the Balkans as early as the First Near East War. The Asia Minor Peninsula is still too far away from everyone.

The hot topic of public opinion was the French Revolution. Although the Paris Commune movement ended, the political impact it brought was far-reaching.

The destruction of Versailles seemed to be a venting revenge, but in fact it brought the majesty of the monarch off the altar.

The revolutionaries who were unwilling to fail seized the last aftermath and promoted revolutionary ideas, and governments of all countries were busy putting out the fires.

These destructive things seem to have nothing to do with the anti-Turkish alliance. Newspapers always follow sales, and the news happening around them is far more eye-catching than news overseas.

The people of European countries focused on the revolution, while the people of the four anti-Turkey alliances remained on the Near East War.

Human beings have always been the most vengeful creature. The Ottoman villain successfully attracted everyone's attention, so that everyone did not have the time to care about revolutionary ideas.

Fortunately, the information has not been widely transmitted these days, and everyone’s understanding of the outside world is not so detailed. Otherwise, if this news is spread, it will definitely cause an uproar.

It is perfect to find a arch enemy to fight a war, and to divert internal conflicts and avoid the spread of revolutionary ideas.

Of course, this method may not necessarily apply to France. Their nemesis is a bit too strong, and none of them is easy to mess with.

The premise of the method of transferring contradictions in the war is to win, and if you lose, you will be over.

...

In the Berlin Palace, Frederick III is working on the final ideological struggle: whether to join forces with Hanover to form the North German Empire.

Every time he thinks of this, he can't help but blame his father for cheating his son.

Looking back at the time when Metternich proposed to divide the German region, but due to a series of factors such as uneven distribution of spoils and opposition from Britain and France, it was decisively rejected by the Berlin government.

Who can know that today, thirty years later, because of government decision-making mistakes, has returned to the issue of establishing North Germany.

The same North German Empire is actually two species. The territory of the German region has not been lost, and it is even larger than the division plan proposed by Metternich. Unfortunately, Prussia has shrunk by most.

Influenced by this, Prussia, which should have dominated North Germany, has now become a vassal of Hannover.

What is a deception that is a fool is just a fool, and Frederick III will not believe a single word.

Even if God blesses it, Hanover is the son of Britain. Prussia is at most considered to be a god-giving child, at least in the Victorian era.

In this era when the great powers dominated the world, the importance of the backstage was self-evident, and there were few choices left to the Berlin government.

In the relationship between the Prussian-Russian war, the Tsarist government in the east must be the enemy. Even if it does not cause trouble for them, it is luck, and you don’t even think about supporting them.

If North Germany is formed, it will definitely offend Austria. Although the Vienna government has not done anything, Frederick III knows that there must be problems here.

France, which was originally highly anticipated by the Berlin government, suddenly changed its revolution without waiting for them to step over.

Every time I think of this, Frederick III secretly glad that he did not take this step, otherwise even the British boss would have offended him.

Prime Minister Leo von Caprivi suggested: "Your Majesty, since you can't figure out the plans of the Austrians, you might as well show up with them directly.

The Vienna government wants to unify the German region, but they are not ready yet, and are worried about being boycotted by European countries, so they have not taken this step.

Now France in the west has greatly reduced its strength due to the influence of the revolution, and the Ottomans in the south are about to end. If the Vienna government can stabilize the Russians, the chance of them unifying the German region is no longer low.

With our current situation, we can only stand on the side of the winner.

Many countries in the German region have Austrians been attracted, and the Vienna government has been reluctant to bid for us, so they probably can't believe us."

People will change. Under the beating of society, the Great Prussian thought has disappeared.

Even the awesome Junke nobles had to enter a dormant state because of the failure of the war.

After politicians came to power, the Berlin government was no longer as radical as before and became more practical.

Frederick III shook his head: "It's not that simple. The French did not really hurt their vitality. They will be able to recover after three to five years.

No matter how good the relationship between Russia and Austria is, it cannot withstand the test of national interests. Perhaps in a short period of time, the Tsarist government will accept Austria's unification of the German region and become the European hegemon.

But they will always have a day to recover. Will the Russian Empire, which has recovered in ten or twenty years, still accept Austria's exclusive European hegemony?

With British people here, do you think it's still far from the Anti-Austrian alliance?

Napoleon was defeated by the union of European countries. With Franz's cautious nature, how could he take risks?

Unification of the German region is not only the beginning of its peak, but also the prelude to the doomsday.

Austria would not take action until it was completely sure, otherwise they would have unified the German region long ago."

After saying that, Frederick III pointed at the map and kept silent.

The person who knows you best is not your friend, but your enemy.

Pu'O is also an old opponent. The Berlin government has always attached great importance to the collection of information on Austria, including studying Franz's character.

After understanding a lot, Frederick III was able to basically judge the idea of ​​the Vienna government.

We all use diplomatic and military means to solve the enemies on the north and south sides. Why not wait until the remaining enemies are killed before taking action?

Looking in the direction of Frederick III's finger, Leo von Caprive couldn't help blurting out: "India!"

After saying that, as if he realized his misunderstanding, Leo von Caprivi fell into silence, with only one concept in his mind: the Austrians made a move.

This is the terrifying thing about open conspiracy. Everyone can see clearly, but they can't help but temptation of interests.

As early as the First Near East War, the Russians were cheated by Austria. However, even if they were cheated, the relationship between Russia and Austria was still unaffected.

The reason is very simple. The Russians got the benefits promised by the Vienna government, and they were willing to be cheated.

No matter how heavy the losses are, can they be as good as Constantinople?

As long as the benefits are in place, losses are nothing at all. In essence, the potential strength of the Russian Empire has also grown, but it will take time to transform into national strength.

Even though I know, the Berlin government did not mean to remind the British. Some time ago, they had just arranged the British together, and the relationship between Britain and the U.S. was not so harmonious.

...

The Berlin government has analyzed it, and the London government can also analyze it. Of course, the two are in different positions and the conclusions drawn are also different.

The Berlin government suspected that Austria would incite the Russians to annex India, while the London government believed that Austria had set its sights on India.

After all, this is the richest colony in the world, richer than other colonies combined. The Vienna government has no reason not to develop ambitions.

While supporting the Ottoman Empire, Glaston also abandoned the "glorious isolation" policy he proposed.

These are the six principles he proposed before he ascended the position of Prime Minister:

1. Establish a good government in the country;

2. Maintain peace abroad;

3. Keep European powers in coordination;

4. Do not form alliances with other countries;

5. Recognize the equal rights of all countries;

6. Compassion with freedom.

There are two basic points of these six principles: one is to coordinate good offices among countries on the European continent to establish a so-called "coordinated Europe";

The second is to avoid alliances with other European countries to maintain their freedom of movement and achieve "glorious isolation".

However, the plan did not change quickly, and before these policies of Glaston could have time, the international situation took a sharp turn for the worse.

If the policy of glorious isolation was the best choice for the London government before the outbreak of the Near East War, then there was no feasibility after the Paris Revolution broke out and the anti-Turkey alliance was established.

Faced with the increasingly severe international situation, the British urgently needed their allies to restrain Austria on the European continent to ensure India's security.

Looking at the world, there are only three countries that are capable of restraining Austria. Apart from Britain itself, there are only France and Russia, which are not in a very state.

Glaston put his hands together on the table and said seriously: "Everyone, it's time to do multiple-choice questions.

Britain needs a ally with a large share to deal with the next international changes. Now let’s choose one from France, Russia and Austria!”

There is no problem, Austria is also one of the alternative ranges. In the British dictionary, friends and enemies can be converted.

When a country is so strong that it cannot be suppressed and cannot be an enemy, turning it into a friend is also one of the choices.

Foreign Minister George took the lead in answering: "Prime Minister, this is a single choice question, and we have no choice at all.

With the fall of France and Russia, the situation on the European continent has become clearer, and Austria, which is not visible and undisturbed, has become our biggest threat right now.

Of course, it is not ruled out that the Austrian Empire is also paper-based.

But this possibility is very small. Austria has not been in chaos this time, and I don’t think there will be problems within them in a short period of time.

At this time, our alliance with Austria will undoubtedly further encourage their arrogance.

The Russians are not a good choice either. The interests between Russia and Austria are too closely linked. Before regaining their strength, it is difficult for the Tsarist government to stand opposite Austria.

Besides, the Russians have too bad reputations, so we don’t have the ability to collect debts by force. If we give them blood transfusions, we will lose all our money.

In fact, we have the only option left - France.

Judging from my personal senses, the ambitious French are not a good ally either.

Supporting them requires a great risk, and the possibility of backlash is very high, and we must grasp this degree."
