Chapter 225： Are not fuel efficient lamps

After sending away Thomas, Napoleon III summoned the think tank for the first time. It should not be the meeting of ministers.

Anyway, they are almost the same. Napoleon III's consistent employment style is the only one who has a pro-kinship. The think tank also serves as a minister and has no cabinet.

Chancellor of the Treasury: Earl Monier (gold speculator), Secretary of the Army Arnold (brother thugs and part-time counsellor), Minister of Police Mopa (strategist), Minister of the Interior Persini (conspirator), Secretary of the Navy Dike (support The ship owner), the colonial minister is his nephew ...

Don't look at this group of people who are all related households. In fact, they are doing a good business, at least much better than the July dynasty, and a lot stronger than the later Third Republic.

In addition to the failure of the Franco-Prussian War, during the reign of Napoleon III, France's economic development was rapid, and the people's living standards were significantly improved. The world's second colonial empire was also mostly defeated during this period.

Secretary of the Armed Forces Arnold said vigilantly: "His Majesty, the British are using us as guns. Once their plan is successful, Russia and Austria are our enemies. In the future, our options in international politics are very limited.

Moreover, it is not so easy to interfere in Austria. The multinational coalition is actually nominally nice.

Countries are located in Tiannanhaibei. To coordinate relations and organize coalition forces, it is impossible to keep secrets of such magnitude.

The Austrians were not stupid. Once they received the news, they only needed to do one thing. Before the formation of the coalition was completed, the Prussians were arrested.

Without the Prussians coming to the cannon fodder, this interference in the war, unless we put all our efforts, otherwise the coalition's gang of Wuhe will soon be broken. "

Arnold: This is a matter of experience. Only the four-nation coalition forces are on the battlefield in the Balkans, and the command system is chaotic. Now that you have a nine-nation coalition force, who can bring so many teammates with different thoughts?

The pit teammates are also experienced. The nine-nation coalition forces are acting together, not only to guard against the enemy, but also to guard their eight allies. That is simply terrible.

"Caught the Prussians?"

"Arnold, do you think the Austrians will catch the Prussians for the first time?" Napoleon III asked with interest.

Arnold replied, "Yes, Your Majesty. If the formation of the nine-nation coalition is complete, even if Austria can defeat the coalition, they will try to avoid fighting with the coalition in order not to be isolated.

However, the Austrian government cannot directly admit it, otherwise how can it explain to the people?

Franz-Joseph I was very young and vigorous. He certainly couldn't bear the grievance and couldn't find the trouble of the British. So it's okay to catch the Prussians and bully them?

In order to avoid the responsibility for the failure of this operation, the Vienna government should support the operation, and just transfer the anger of the people to the Prussians. When we organized the coalition, the kingdom of Prussia was almost finished.

If the Russians also looted while the fire was under way, before the coalition arrived, the Russians and Austrians would have to divide up Prussia. "

As a younger brother part-time thug, Arnault usually loves to do things--recklessly, and now he often analyzes problems with this kind of thinking.

For Arnold's analysis, Napoleon III shined. In order to consolidate the throne, he can work with Russia, and it is normal for the people of the Vienna government to arrest the Prussian concubine in order to avoid responsibility.

A traitor is always more hateful than an enemy. Prussia is beaten or killed, and the grievances of the people are out. The government can not only survive the crisis smoothly, but also take advantage of it.

As for the intervention of coalition forces in various countries, there is no way for Austria to prevent the troops from sending troops. Is there still no way to delay everyone's troop dispatch?

After the formation of the coalition forces was completed, the Prussian government also successfully received the box lunch. Revenge for the Kingdom of Prussia. Who does n’t exist without interest?

At least Napoleon III did not think anyone had that international spirit. The big problem is that the Austrians are busy living and quitting the newly occupied land.

Persini added: "His Majesty, in addition to attacking the Kingdom of Prussia, Austria may choose to attack first and attack Paris!

Our main force is not in the country. The Austrian army has reached the Bavarian border. As long as it passes through Baden, it can enter our country. With its strength in strength and sudden attacks, it is likely to succeed. "

A sneak attack on Paris is a high-input, high-yield plan. Once successful, France will fall into chaos, and it will not be possible to cause trouble for Austria for at least three or five years.

The Russians can also seize Constantinople and shut down the British and French forces on the Crimean Peninsula. The British can only cringe on the British Isles, and the navy can come out and shake, and the entire European continent is allowed to Russia-Austria League aspect.

Napoleon III sneered: "In other words, did the British come up with an idea?"

Persini analyzed: "Your Majesty, this is the plan that is in the best interest of the British. The Austrians' attack rate on Paris is too low. Even if Marshal Radsky himself commands it, this chance will not exceed four levels.

This is still in our unprepared situation. As long as we are prepared and the frontline troops are strengthened, the Austrians can only storm all the way.

The conflict between us and Austria has not yet reached the point where you will die. The Vienna government should not take risks and die with us.

As long as we can't capture Paris within a month, our frontline troops will be withdrawn, and by then they will be out of luck.

In essence, the most important thing in the British plan was intimidation. If the Austrians could be intimidated by the momentum of the Allied Powers, their goals would be successful.

If the Russian-Austrian alliance can be torn up, it will be even more profitable. Even if they couldn't, they were still planning to leave the Kingdom of Bavaria to Austria. In fact, they didn't want to force Austria's dogs to jump off the wall. "

After hesitating for a moment, Napoleon III made a decision.

"Since the British have planned, how can we not cooperate? If necessary, give the Austrians a little hint and encourage them to fight Prussia.

In this issue, we can all take what we need. France, Austria, and Russia divide Prussia, and we can also accept it. "

Of course, it is acceptable. The core area of ​​the Kingdom of Prussia, just in the Rhineland region, is under the eyes of the French. Austria has destroyed Prussia. They happen to be fishermen and get the most benefits.

ally? When did France and Prussia become allies, as long as the interests are appropriate, even allies can betray them.

...

Leaving Versailles, Thomas went to visit the Prussian representative Rotrov.

In addition to the French, the Prussian kingdom is also a key link. Without the powerful Prussians to participate, this intervention in the coalition is a joke.

In fact Thomas was playing drums inside, and what happened in Bavaria was terrible. In the event that the Prussian army was also affected by nationalist ideology, and there was a battle on the battlefield, or it was neutral, the coalition would only cry.

Fortunately, this plan was not prepared to really start the fight, leaving Austria with room for a fight.

The two did not have any friendship, and went directly to the topic. After changing a set of rhetoric notes, Rotruve fell into meditation.

It is the national policy of the Kingdom of Prussia to take advantage of the interference of various countries and take the opportunity to kick Austria out of the German region.

"Mr. Thomas, why don't you let Austria spit out the Kingdom of Bavaria?" Rotruf said dissatisfied. Sooner or later their instability in Europe would bring disaster to the world sooner or later.

The British proposal was in his heart, and the only flaw was that Austria had taken the Kingdom of Bavaria.

After the absence of Austria, who else can lead the heavy task of leading Germany, besides the Kingdom of Prussia? This is digging their meat, and Rotruve naturally wants to oppose it.

Thomas flickered: "Mr. Rotruv, it's not that we want to condone the illegal behavior of Austria, but that the Russian-Austrian alliance must consider it, and your country doesn't want Russia and Austria to continue to hold a group!"

For the Russian-Olympic alliance, the greatest pressure should be the Kingdom of Prussia. It may be that the Prussian government's response ability is relatively slow, or the Nordic Three-Court Alliance has been so long that they ignored this threat.

In short, Thomas was impressed by the Prussian government ’s performance. If he changed them, he would have fallen asleep. The Prussian government did n’t do anything.

It is not without action that they were originally intended to restore diplomatic relations with Russia and Austria. Unfortunately, Austria suddenly launched a reunification war, which destroyed the plan of the Prussian government.

On the surface, Rotruve did not change, but he was playing drums. He always felt that the British were uneasy and found nothing wrong, so he chose to drag the word.

"Mr. Thomas, this is too much involved. I must report to the country first, waiting for the decision of the Berlin government."

Although Rotruve is an amateur diplomat, he was born in the military and always believed that the pie would not fall in the sky, and only the most reliable way was to rely on force.

If you are not sure, then leave the problem to the Berlin government. Although Frederick-William IV is also an amateur diplomat, isn't he the king?

There is no way to get a positive answer, Thomas can only leave, does not think that the Prussian kingdom will find their plans, and the French cannot leak to the Prussians.

This is the inherent impression that the Kingdom of Prussia has long left to the outside world. It can be said that before Bismarck, the diplomatic methods of the Kingdom of Prussia were immature, which was an unavoidable flaw in the military country.

Without further delay, Thomas still has a lot to do, and so many countries are waiting for him to convince him that this diplomatic war is doomed to be difficult to fight.

...

The British's activities are destined to be kept secret. Not all countries will keep them secret. Thomas frequently contacts the representatives of various countries, and Metternich cannot be idle!

Unlike the British offensive, Metternich's approach is much simpler, that is-throw money, can't buy foreign ministers of various countries, can't they buy the maid attendants around them?

When Thomas met and spoke, most of the content was passed to Metternich's ears. It's just diplomatic. It's normal to pass false information and release smoke bombs. Metternich is still afraid to judge true or false.

Thomas is also a veteran in the diplomatic field. The intelligence collected by Metternich from different channels is different, which means that Thomas said differently to the representatives of various countries, and some are contradictory, adding to his Determine the difficulty.

Looking at the information just passed from the Swiss delegation, Metternich smiled coldly and encouraged Swiss troops to interfere in Austria's annexation of South Germany. Isn't this a joke?

As a good neighbor of Austria, the Swiss and the Habsburg dynasty died for hundreds of years, but it was difficult to obtain decades of peace. Now they are provoking Austria?

Anyway, Metternich would not believe that, even if the British promised so much, they would not be able to prevent Austria from accounting after the fall, at least for Switzerland and Austria.

Unable to judge the true purpose of the British, they can only continue to gather intelligence. Anyway, some people are staring at the domestic response. If they agree to send troops to interfere, the movement of troops and the delivery of strategic materials will always be indispensable.

Which country joins the interference army does not depend on their representatives sitting in the interference country, but on the actual actions in their country.

Metternich is not in a hurry. With his knowledge of the British, if there is nothing to do, then there is a problem.

Now that Thomas was in action, he was more relieved. Conspiracy on the bright side is easier to deal with than conspiracy on the ground.
