Chapter 150： Biased topic

On February 21, 1850, under British, French, and Russian diplomatic pressure, the Prussian government and the Kingdom of Denmark signed the Treaty of Putin Berlin in Berlin.

The Prussian government recognized the sovereignty of the Kingdom of Denmark over Schleswig-Holstein, and the Pudan war was officially ended.

Before the treaty was signed, under the strong pressure of the Russians, the Prussian army had actually withdrawn from the Kingdom of Denmark, including Schleswig-Holstein, both duchyes.

After the signing of the treaty, the German Federal delegation left angrily and refused to recognize the sovereignty of the Kingdom of Denmark over the two principalities of Schleswig-Holstein.

The Prussian government was pitted. This time they were not only the states of the German region, but also the Russians. Obviously Nicholas I was warning the Prussians to be honest with actual actions.

At the beginning of the negotiations, the German Federal delegation also supported Prussia, and there was a fierce quarrel with the Russian representatives. With the same attitude of Britain, France and Russia, the delegation quickly persuaded and approved the mediation of Britain, France and Russia.

Everyone who was better off signed the treaty together. As a result, after the Prussian government signed the treaty, the federal delegation immediately slackened, putting all the responsibilities on the Prussian government.

That's right. The so-called angry departure was all told to the people. Anyway, the federal delegation did not sign the treaty.

The Prussians also thought that the British, French, and Russian would persuade the German Federation to sign a treaty and settle the Schleswig-Holstein duchy once and for all. As a result, the Russian representative left with satisfaction.

Without the Russians, Britain and France were naturally too lazy to care.

Anyway, the German Confederation is only Prussia and Schleswig-Holstein, bordering the two principalities. No matter how loud the slogan is, other states can only empty the cannon.

On this issue, the attitude of the German Federation is not important. Even this international organization is not a country in essence. The diplomatic power of all states is free. They do not have the right to sign diplomatic treaties for everyone.

Affected by the Treaty of Putin and Berlin, the prestige of the Kingdom of Prussia in the German region was greatly damaged, and it was unable to compete with Austria for leadership in the German region.

At this time, outside the Prussian embassies of the German states, they were surrounded by people seeking donations, holding debt collection signs to protest, and from time to time there were also rocks flying in.

Public opinion was successful. When the donations were first collected, the newspaper published a strong statement from the Prussian government. Some of them are true, and most of them are made up by editors.

These are not important, anyway, people think this is true. It was said that they would fight the Russians to the end, and as a result, they fought, and the people who thought they were being deceived were venting their anger in this way.

The money must have come back, and the Prussian government clanged poorly, and even if it was ten times more severe, they could not afford the money.

In the end, governments of various countries had to send troops to defend the Prussian embassy and provide them with livelihoods. Under the circumstances that everyone shouted, the staff of the Prussian embassy would not dare to go out to buy vegetables.

After the pits were over, the friendly relations between Prussia, Austria and the states of the German region began to turn cold.

The German states headed by Bavaria did not want to see the German unity. They tried to balance the two states of Puao.

These states are close to Austria. In addition to their religious and political influence, they are also related to the eating of the Prussian kingdom.

The Kingdom of Prussia was originally a small state and grew to become the second largest state in the German region. Naturally, it has to expand all the way.

In just a few decades, the territory of the Kingdom of Prussia has tripled, and the history of territorial expansion is naturally indispensable, which has aroused everyone's vigilance.

The foreign policy of the Metternich era was still valuable, at least making the German states believe that Austria had no ambition to unify the German region, ignoring that Austria's national policy had changed.

The recent Frankfurt conference, the evidence of the participation of the Prussian government was smashed out by Austria again, which disgusted everyone, and the Austrian government gathered their arms with a call.

Now that the Kingdom of Prussia has been suppressed, the stance of the Kingdom of Bavaria has changed again. They do not want to see the imbalance of the power of Puao and the emergence of a dominant situation.

The normal combination is that the second child joins the third child to fight against the first child. Austria can join the third child to suppress the second child, which is already a diplomatic victory.

Now back on track, the diplomatic attitude of the Bavarian government has changed again.

Influenced by the Revolution of 1848, King Ludwig I of Bavaria was forced to abdicate. Before abdicating, Ludwig I issued a statement on March 6 promising that the Bavarian government would work for the cause of freedom and unity in Germany.

This laid a political bomb on his son, Maximilian I, who inherited the throne.

There is no way. Compared with the Prussian united Germany, the national unity in Bavaria hopes that Austria, like their religion, will unite the German region.

In history, because of his support for the constitution of the Frankfurt Conference, Maximi stands for the exclusion of Austria from the German region and stands on the opposite side of the people. In order to stabilize the rule, in 1851 he turned to pro-Austrian.

No matter who it is, the highest pursuit of the Bavarian government or the establishment of the Oppa's three giants side by side model, it is clear that the strength of the Bavarian kingdom is too far from Puao to do this.

The Kingdom of Bavaria moved closer to Prussia, which was welcomed by the Austrian westward movement. Fierce attack on the allies, the impact is too bad, the Austrian government is also face to face.

If it is not possible to fight hard, even if Austria unified the South German region, these states will still exist independently, which will affect Austria's centralized power.

These states are mainly Bavaria, and the other small states are weak, and without this leading brother, they dare not add chaos to the central government.

The appearance of Maximilian I, the dead pro-King King, undoubtedly provided the Austrian government with an opportunity to annex the Kingdom of Bavaria.

Now it is up to him to see if he can create an excuse for Austria to justify the abolition of the Bavarian royal family.

In the Austrian Prime Minister's office, Felix said in a deep voice: "Austrian-Bavarian alliances have become an obstacle to our unification of the German region.

Dismantling this covenant is imperative, but Austria cannot betray it. It is better to let the Bavarian government take the initiative to betray it. The time for rescission of this covenant must also be chosen, not early or late. "

This degree is difficult to grasp. If the alliance is terminated early because of geopolitical relations, Austria's influence in the German Federation will be greatly affected, and the Holy Roman Alliance may also be affected.

If the two countries still maintain an ally when the unification war is launched in Austria, Maximilian I would have declared the Bavarian kingdom change.

Anyone in Bavaria can lead the party, but the king can't do it. The cost is too high.

If that happens, the Austrian government will cry.

Referring to the historical German Empire, the Kingdom of Bavaria retains independent political rights and can also recruit troops on its own.

Pulling several other states, the Federal Assembly, the supreme authority of the German Empire, also has the right to veto clauses against them, and the central government has no choice but to take the country in them.

Metternich frowned and said, "There is always an excuse to find it. The question is whether our plan can be successful. If the play collapses, the good situation of the Austrian Empire will be gone."

He doesn't like taking risks, and he doesn't agree with Russia's Olympiad. But his arms were not over his thighs, and he was no longer in the Austrian government.

Felix thought for a while and said, "Mr. Metternich, the risk of Austria's unification of the South German region is not military.

If we send troops under the banner of unifying Germany, it is very likely that the armies of these states will collapse. Most of them support the unification of Germany.

The enemy soldiers are warless, and the probability of our military failure is almost zero.

The real risk comes from diplomacy, in which you have the most say.

The Russian-Olympic Treaty has been signed. Without any accidents, the Russians will stand on our side.

The British were beyond their reach. The danger came from two directions, France to the west and Prussia to the north. As long as we could get one of them, we won.

If the Austrian government can make concessions in other regions, do you think it is possible to convince the French to support us?

No need for their support, just let the French government default.

Even letting the French government vacillate internally and delay their decision-making time, we can unite the Russians to conquer Prussia! "

Metternich was lost in thought, easier said than done. There are many factors that influence the outcome of diplomacy, and we must consider them carefully, especially those related to the fate of the country.

After thinking about it, Metternich frowned and said, "There was a big bleeding in Italy, and we promised to cede the entire territory west of the Rhine in exchange for three levels of French chance and six levels of neutrality.

As for delaying the French government's decision-making time, if it is the current French government, even if it does nothing, they will have to dispute for months. "

In his opinion, Felix was out of control, is it good to be a neighbor with the French?

In the future, a large amount of Austria's defense budget will be spent on defending the French, which is why the Russians allowed Austria to annex South Germany.

Moreover, the so-called strategic forecast is not reliable at all now. Who knows when the French government changed it again?

Chancellor of the Exchequer Carl said dissatisfied: "Prime Minister, can this issue be discussed later? Don't forget our current task. I will oppose any expansion before I can straighten out the country."

The Austrian government's finances were very generous. In 1848, a large number of noble industries were confiscated, and a huge sum was extorted during the Osa war.

After the Russian-Olympic Treaty, seeing the Russians' war preparations, the Austrian government has judged that the pattern of the European continent is about to be broken. In response to emergencies, these funds have become war reserves.

Then, the Treasury had to calculate carefully and spend within its means.

The line dispute broke out in the imperial palace not long ago, and the result was not discussed. His Majesty the Emperor proposed to purge the official team and terminate the dispute.

Originally the topic was to clean up the official atmosphere, but now the news of the change in Bavaria's foreign policy is brought to the side.

There is no doubt that it is Prime Minister Felix who wants the cabinet to support his westward strategy. Unfortunately, everyone is very opinionated, and not everyone is interested in expansion.

Felix Haha smiled and said, "Sorry, it's my fault! Recently, my mind is full of questions about the South German region.

We also continue today's topic about specific plans to clean up the officialdom. "
