Chapter 222： Franz Franz

Since the twelve nations intervened in the German unification process, the entire German region has fallen into a low tide, as if the sky had fallen. Even the most radical nationalists are desperate for the unity of the German region.

In order to appease the people, the Austrian government posted notices for the people in the area under its control. This shows that the Vienna government is still making its final diplomatic efforts to achieve the greatest possible unity in the German region, and by the way the Prussian kingdom has been hacked again and again.

This did not help. Apart from scolding the Prussian government once again, everyone had to wait for the final trial of the Paris talks.

On the campus of the University of Munich

A young student said indignantly: "We can't wait this way, we have to do something!"

A young man next to him quickly grabbed his right arm and comforted him: "Bayer, don't do stupid things. At this time, we can only rely on the Vienna government for diplomatic mediation. Now the Prime Minister of Felix has gone to London, Metter Mr. Nirvana also went to Paris.

It is said that Her Majesty Franz also visited St. Petersburg, and now the Austrian government is doing its best to unify the German region.

What can you do now? In addition to chaos, can you make these countries change their positions? "

Bayer broke his arm with his arm and said, "Schwar, I can't help it. Even if we can't do anything, we can organize a demonstration to show them our determination to unite!"

"Humph!"

Sherr gave a cold drink and said, "Don't be stupid, Bayer. Even as the newspapers said, even if people from all German regions came out to protest at this time, it would have no effect.

The London government can't see it, the Paris government can't see it, the St. Petersburg government can't see it, and European governments can't see it.

Now our most important effort is to make Germany stronger, so strong that they dare not interfere in our internal affairs, so that the German region can achieve unity.

Now, even the most powerful Austria in the German region cannot face the courage to fight in the face of European countries!

Protests, apart from destroying the order of society, cannot increase the national strength at all; apart from delaying our development process, there is no practical significance. "

They all have "hate", hate that the German region is not strong enough, and even if many states and states add up, they cannot face the collective pressure of the powers.

Bayer scolded, "Blamed the Prussian barbarians. If they were not two or five, the situation is definitely not so passive now.

Britain, France, and Russia are at war. This is the best opportunity for reunification in the German region. As a result, these **** actually fell to Britain, France, and Russia, and betrayed the interests of the German region! "

Since the Austrian occupation here, the Kingdom of Heprus has become a part of daily publicity, especially after the Kingdom of Prussia appears on the list of interfering countries, and they can no longer be whitewashed.

Now everyone is uncomfortable at this time, naturally they will be caught and scolded. Since ancient times, traitors have always been more hateful than their enemies.

At the time of this decision, the Prussian government should have been prepared to be scolded. Anyway, they have no idea of ​​South Germany, and the public base is the same.

The explanation is completely unnecessary, because it cannot be explained at all, and it cannot be said that if the Kingdom of Prussia does not join the interference alliance, and the remaining North German states will merge into one country, they will not get any good.

As for joining forces with Austria to unify the German region? Frederick-William IV stated that he was not stupid, and played politics with the Habsburgs, didn't he take it for himself?

The Hohenzollern family is best at using force. They have the ability to take an army to practice. Frederick-William IV can proudly say: Throw hundreds of streets from Franz in leading soldiers.

I have to admit that sometimes heredity works a little bit. The Hohenzollern family was born with many famous players, and the Prussian kings were basically more capable of playing.

Because he was not very good at political struggles, William II was quickly overthrown by his men after the outbreak of World War I, and the Habsburgs were all killed by their heirs.

Even the last emperor, a parallel import, almost saved the empire, but Wilson's "fourteen points" stimulated the outbreak of nationalism and killed the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

This point can also be seen now. Since the Kingdom of Prussia joined the ranks of interference in the country, the country has begun to flourish, and nationalists' dissatisfaction with the Prussian government has reached its peak.

If Franz changed, he would rather choose to join the Austrian army to divide up the German region. After the event, he would make an illusion of merging with Austria and wait for the pressure of the powers to split.

Taking this opportunity, swallowing the North German area under the banner of unification, and when offending the British, they can also pull Austria together.

Anyway, this will happen sooner or later. If the Kingdom of Prussia wants to go further, it will be necessary to annex North Germany, so Hanover cannot run away.

It is unusual for Hannover. In addition to the interests of the British, as the queen's home, there is also the face of the British Empire. Now that the bullish John Bull has begun, how can he tolerate being beaten?

In this case, it would be okay to pull a person to share the pressure. What a wonderful excuse for the great cause of German reunification?

Doing this, although the external pressure will increase, but the internal can get the support of the people and make the rule more stable. It is difficult to determine the pros and cons for the country, but it is the best choice for the king. .

Napoleon III was a master in this field. In order to strengthen his throne, he did not hesitate to fight the Russians in the Near East.

In terms of national interest, the French only need to keep Constantinople, there is no need to continue fighting in the Crimea, but the French still sent troops.

After a few victories in the Crimean Peninsula in history, after personal political gains were obtained, Napoleon III decisively negotiated with the Russians.

...

The wind breeze, Franz leaned his head out of the window and felt this wonderful time.

At the moment he is on his way to St. Petersburg, in the name of visiting the Tsarist government for the unified German region and seeking diplomatic support.

In fact, his visit to Russia at this time was not directly related to this negotiation, but just for political show.

Although knowing that the German region is unlikely to be unified this time, as Emperor of Austria, Franz still has to make the greatest efforts to this end, at least to let the people in the German region see his efforts.

In mid-July, Franz set off from Vienna and the carriage drove towards St. Petersburg. Traffic in Austria is still marginal, and Franz also took a train.

After entering the Russian Empire, he was too lazy to talk about it. If he didn't have a good body, it is estimated that he would have been tossed on the road before arriving in St. Petersburg.

Franz now most misses the era of planes and trains. From Vienna to St. Petersburg in later generations, the planes lasted for two or three hours at most, and the trains lasted for one day.

But in this era, if you want to walk these 1583 kilometers, that is the month.

Fortunately, after crossing Poland, you can take the sea route, which can save a lot of time. Otherwise, the carriage rides all the way, even if the Paris negotiations start, he is still halfway.

In fact, you can cross the German region to St. Petersburg. You can enter the North Sea either by boat through the Rhine or by the Elbe.

Unfortunately, both roads must pass through the Kingdom of Prussia. At this time, politics required Austria and Prussia to be angry, and Franz could only go in Poland.

It is also the flood season of the Vistula River, and navigation is very dangerous. For the sake of small life, Franz decided to rush slowly.

Anyway, this is the situation. He will never visit St Petersburg again until the railway runs through. The long distance is murder.

When will the railway from Saint Petersburg to Vienna be opened? This question is to be asked of the Russians. At the speed of Austria's development, the domestic railway network is almost complete after 20 years.

As for the Russian Empire, it is impossible to complete the full coverage of the railway network in this century, and it may be achieved in the next century.

Although the road is a little bumpy, the scenery along the way is very good. It is completely natural. Especially after entering Russia, the factories that smoke are very rare.

Occasionally, when encountering scenic areas, Franz will stop to watch it, which is a relaxing trip.

Franz's convoy is now moving at a speed of thirty kilometers a day, and stops when it rains. If the rain does not exist, he is a good emperor who is sympathetic to his subordinates and will not toss people casually.

In terms of reception, the Tsarist government paid great attention to etiquette and arranged in strict accordance with the emperor's standard treatment. Even if Franz brought a regiment of guards to visit, the Russians did not frown.

On this day, the accompanying Russian representative, Count Medvez, came to the carriage and asked, "Your Majesty, the Vistula River can be navigable in front of you. Do you want to change the waterway?"

To change, we must change it. Whoever wants to ride this carriage, let anyone do it!

Franz casually made an excuse and said, "You arrange it, we must hurry!"

...

Franz soon regretted it, and it turned out that it was definitely not enjoyable to go water this time, especially when he was seasick.

It was okay when sailing along the river, and often docked in the port, Franz didn't feel it. It's different after going to sea. The wind and waves at sea and the inland river are completely two concepts.

On the first day of sailing, Franz supported the past with his strong physique. On the second day, he became pale, and on the third day, he began to vomit.

With this spit, the journey was delayed again, and everyone hurried to the nearest port. By this time the squadron had arrived in Estonia, not far from St. Petersburg.

There is no way. The emperor's little life is expensive, and no one dares to be sloppy. Even the accompanying doctors knew that this was just a normal reaction to seasickness. They also stopped for three days and waited for Franz to recover before setting off again.

The subsequent itinerary can only slow down, almost every time the port must be docked, Franz rests on land every night.

Tossing all the way to St. Petersburg, Franz was eliminated a lot.
