Chapter 208： Just wait for the pit

Vienna

Affected by the failure of the Sofia Campaign, the Austrian government's negotiations with Ottoman have achieved phased results, but only some details are still under negotiation.

Franz didn't care much about the outcome of the negotiations. Even if the two countries signed an agreement, the possibility of cashing in the future was less than one-third.

The international situation is ever-changing, and the results of the Near East War will directly affect Austria's gains. In terms of interests, the Russians' victory is certainly the best choice.

Not only can they be rushed ahead to pull hatred and share the pressure of Austria; but it will not let the Russians really soar into the sky and lose their restrictions.

Army Secretary Prince Wendy Schgrez said with a strange look: "His Majesty, a report from the Serbian front has sent a team of British soldiers by mistake and we have been disarmed."

Franz asked puzzledly, "Isn't the Near East War going so far, isn't it in the middle of Kosovo?"

This stray deviation is too great. Even if the Sofia campaign fails, the Kosovo region is controlled by the Ottomans, and they can ask the local government to send a guide.

Prince Wendy Schgrez handed the battle report over, and Franz glanced over and finally understood why he looked so weird.

Franz thought for a while and said, "This is also a good thing. We have another small chip in our hands. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has notified the British and asked them to send someone to discuss the return of these people."

There is no doubt that these people will certainly be detained until after the war, and the British are now notified simply by telling them that there are a number of British officers and men in Austria.

Now these people are useless. After the escalation of the Near East War and the news that the frontline British army suffered heavy casualties returned to the country, after the sensation, the London government had to pay attention to these soldiers.

Franz admired everyone who came up with the solution.

This is a genius. They are deserters. Others are fortunate to run and hide in Tibet. After the war, they were worried that they would not be able to return to their home after being liquidated.

They are also deserters, and they will be delicious in Austria until the end of the war. Salaries and benefits will not be missing from the London government. They will be taken back after the war.

Fortunately, there are not many such talents. Otherwise, thousands of British soldiers will run to Austria to eat and drink, and the London government will vomit blood.

As for the Sardinian army that had been here for a while, Franz ignored it directly. This was normal operation, and no brains ran over, indicating that they are still the Sardinian kingdom and not Italy.

...

Metternich said with a smile on his face: "His Majesty, the visit of the Prime Minister Felix to Berlin failed, and the Kingdom of Prussia rejected the proposal to rebuild the Holy Roman Alliance.

In order to avoid condemnation in public opinion, the Frederick-William IV was very cunning and chose to procrastinate and announced in a high-profile respect for the choice of the German people.

The Prime Minister Felix proposed a referendum, but he was flatly rejected again. It seems that the Prussians are about to do something. "

Not afraid of Prussians doing things, the most feared thing is that Prussians do not do things. If the Holy Roman Empire was rebuilt in the name of a referendum, it would be Franz.

The elected emperor looks good. In fact, it has fallen a few grades in nature. It is not paramount. Since it can be elected naturally, it can be abolished, which is even worse than the system of emperor election.

Regardless of whether it is good or bad for the country, it is absolutely catastrophic for the royal family. Unless there is no other way out, no other emperor is willing to accept such an elected throne.

At least Franz won't accept it. There are many families in Germany who are eligible for election. Even if they win once, they can change hands next time. Then the emperor and the tenure president are just a nominal gap.

Not only is Franz unacceptable, nor is the Austrian government accepting it. If Austria cannot control the Holy Roman Empire, then what good is it to rebuild the Empire?

The Prussians were worried that Austria would limit them with this empire, but they did not know that Austria was also worried about not being able to control the empire.

Out of interest, once the empire is unified, the embarrassing situation of Prussia in the German region will change immediately, and the small state parliament supports them against Austria.

Of course this kind of support can only be secretly. On the bright side, it is impossible for everyone to stand up against the central government. Most of these states will balance politics, that is, the central government with Austria as the core and the Prussian kingdom Pie, keep a delicate balance.

Chancellor of the Exchequer Karl said indefinitely: "It is somewhat surprising that the Prussians did not stand up and carry the banner of opposition. Could it be that they expected the small states to come out and oppose us?"

Under the influence of nationalists, reunification has now been accepted by many people. If you oppose national reunification, you will undoubtedly pull hatred.

Of course, the strength of nationalist blocs is still small, which can affect the government's position, but cannot influence government decision-making.

If, after two or three decades, Austria re-offers the banner of "Reconstruction of the Holy Spirit-Peaceful Reunification", it is likely that it will indeed succeed.

"It's not clear. Someone has to be the leader anyway, otherwise this plan will be successful. At that time, the Prussian government will have to pay more if it wants to oppose it.

Now let's see which unlucky eggs are fooled by them. Whoever stands out against them will be hostile to nationalists in the future. "Mettne analyzes

Franz thought for a while and said, "Better can be Bavaria. We need the Bavarian government to stand up against it. This is the option that suits us."

Metternich analyzed: "Your Majesty, if Bavaria is to be recruited, we must also push one in person. It is estimated that the Prussians also want to push the Kingdom of Bavaria as a leading bird.

As the third largest country in the Federation, only their influence is large enough to enable everyone to respond collectively.

If the Bavarian government wants the support of the small states, then this is an opportunity. If successful, they will become the leader of the small states of Germany. "

...

The Austrian government is discussing how to bring the Kingdom of Bavaria into the pit. St. Petersburg, which is thousands of miles away, is also discussing the strategy of the Tsar.

The battle of Sofia is over, and the second Bulgarian battle has entered a new phase. At this time, they have two alternatives:

Either concentrate their forces on the Sliven area, or occupy Kosovo, Macedonia, Montenegro, and Greece.

Chancellor of the Treasury Astanley Rhodes proposed: "His Majesty, first attack the Kelisven region, clear the obstacles to Constantinople, and in a rush to capture Constantinople, Britain and France will have to retire."

This is a quick and decisive play. Financially speaking, it is the least expensive way to win the war.

The prerequisite is to be able to win. If you lose, it is natural to rest, and high returns are accompanied by high risks.

Foreign Minister Karl Vossel objected: "No, now the Sofia campaign has just ended, and the frontline troops urgently need to be refurbished. At this time, another major decisive battle is underway, and the frontline is under too much pressure.

It is better to start with the weak areas of the enemy, and take Kosovo, Macedonia, and Thrace to the occupation first, unite Montenegro and Greece, and detour from the enemy's flanks.

Although these speeds are a little slower, they can fight against the wind, just to exercise the recruits' eggs, so that the troops can restore their combat effectiveness as soon as possible. "

Watching the Finance Minister and Foreign Minister finish their words, the Secretary of the Army embarrassed to find that he had nothing to say.

Who do you support? This problem is not easy to handle. Before the implementation, who knows which strategy is more reliable, Ivanovich is theoretically feasible from a professional perspective.

In fact, the circuitous war encirclement looks wonderful. It is estimated that logistics can drag people to death. Can't expect Montenegro and Greece to provide logistics?

Otherwise, while occupying these places, the Russian army must also be stationed to ensure smooth logistics and transportation lines.

Immediately sent a decisive battle, Ivanovic also knows that this is too difficult. The frontline troops are already tired, and if they do n’t repair their combat effectiveness, they wo n’t be able to guarantee it.

After hesitating, Secretary of the Army Ivanovich analyzed from a professional perspective: "His Majesty, the War Department proposed to mobilize new troops in the past, replace some of the traumatized troops, and retreat them to the Danube River for repair as a whole Army reserve.

Immediately after the change of defense, the enemy was decisively battled. Now the British Expeditionary Force is also seriously injured. We only need two main divisions to kill them.

Now we have to fight against the enemy. Whoever can strengthen the front line faster will win the battle. "

There is no doubt that no one supports him. Ivanovic is very dissatisfied with the practice of two amateur players acting as professionals, but he can't afford two big brothers.

Nicholas I was a soldier. Regardless of military literacy, he still knew the basic common sense. He naturally understood that Ivanovic's proposal was more reliable than the previous two.

"Drop out five divisions in the Lviv region, replace the troops participating in the Sofia campaign, and mobilize eight divisions in the Moscow region to replace Slovin's frontline army with heavy losses.

Order the troops in the Ukrainian region to prevent the enemy from landing, especially the Crimean peninsula, and do not let the enemy get into the air. "

"Yes, Your Majesty," Ivanovic replied.

The benefits of having more soldiers were manifested at this time, and the Russians could mobilize reinforcements in the shortest possible time.

Unfortunately, this benefit is a bit pale on the battlefield. Poor transportation restricts the speed at which the Russians can move their troops.

The battle in Sofia ended for more than half a month, at which time the tsarist government made a decision, and a lot of time has been wasted. It will be more than a month after these troops reach the front.

Anyway, the Russians still passed the Sofia battle. The Ottoman Empire's rule on the Balkans became shaky, at which time the Sudanese government had no power to reinforce the front line.

This means that the good life of the French is over, and the Ottoman Empire lost more than 300,000 in half a year. Now the Sudanese government is anxious to deal with the Greeks who have entered Thrace, and it has no supplementary power.

Emmable Jean-Jacques Perlisier discovered for the first time that the Ottoman Empire was still so important. The quantity of cannon fodder was insufficient, and the French Expeditionary Force had to stand on its own.

The war of attrition is not fun, and it is necessary to destroy a regiment almost every day. This loss is not so easy to bear. The Ottoman cannon fodder was standing in front of them, and they didn't feel anything, they knew it was great now.

Menshkov was totally a deadly game, launching a big attack every three to five, and both sides were mournful in the battle.

The 170,000 French Expeditionary Forces now have less than 100,000 combat power. The rest were not all dead, nor were they all wounded, but because the army was disabled and the system was forced to be withdrawn.

In fact, the French army's losses were similar to those of the British, with more than 40,000 casualties, but most of their soldiers could afford losses of this magnitude.

France has provided them with two supplementary troops, with a total number of 48,000, and the total number of French troops has not decreased. Emmaboule Jean-Jacques Perlisier still has experience, knowing that letting the troops take turns on the battlefield, did not use a force to death.

Even so, grass-roots battalion- and company-level troops are often defeated. This is a matter of no means. The enemy's round of attacks will often be reimbursed for a round of attacks.

In this respect, the British are far behind. Of course, this is the difference between a land power country and a sea power country. Even when Napoleon III was purging his dissidents, he did not make small moves on these issues.

Therefore, the fighting has continued to the present, and the French still have their strengths. If they can be repaired for a month or two and let them rebuild the lost system, they can return to the peak.

Time is a bruise. The Russians obviously will not give them this opportunity. Although the casualties of the Russians are not small, the gray animals are flickering.

In the face of the promising future promised by Menshekov, the Russian soldiers took up the courage and went to the battlefield again. This was incomparable to the British and French armies.

The furry serf soldiers are basically illiterate with simple minds. They only need to promise them freedom and land, and these people can die for their lives on the battlefield.

With the change of British and French soldiers, no one would be reasonable. Everyone has learned well, and this little trick cannot seduce them. The most important thing is that everyone knows that there is no land in the country to send.

Take the land of the colony, and aren't you afraid of being shot at? Those ghost places, you can buy the land of a farm for one pound. Do you want everyone to die?

If you are not good, you must find a way to fool. Emmaboule Jean-Jacques Perlisier's decisive sacrifice of Russian and French hatred encourages everyone's morale. It was ok at first, but the effect is not obvious now.

If anyone pays attention, you will find that the French army is retreating one after another, and it seems that it is already preparing to run.

Emmaboule Jean-Jacques Perlisier was bitter. This battle was of great importance and related to the reputation of the boss Napoleon III. Therefore, he must not lose.

Even if it pays a heavy price, a nominal victory is fine. Since he can't afford to lose, he naturally has to consider the way forward. In case it is really not desirable, he must throw the pot!

Of course, it is better to win the war, and how much you lose still has some influence. At this time Emmaboule Jean-Jacques Perlisier had regretted it. He had known that the British were so crap, and he recklessly set off with the Russians at the beginning.

A terrible victory with both losses is also a victory.

Moreover, the boss wanted to clear away his dissidents and destroy the forces loyal to the Orleans dynasty in the army. Even if he went back to defeat, it would be a great achievement.

It was just that Emmaboule Jean-Jacques Perlisier had no conscience and was reluctant to allow so many French boys to be buried, so he chose the safest method of play, which turned into an attrition war.

The Russians were more resilient on the battlefield than the coalition, and then the French suffered.

I missed the timing of the decisive battle, and now even if I want a reckless wave, the state of the French army is mostly dry. Emmable Jean-Jacques Perlisier didn't want to be a stepping stone for the Russians, making their reputation as the world's first army power stronger.
