Chapter 300： Yet another continental balance

Franz asked in amazement: "Really caught the assassin?"

According to his thinking, after the assassination in Paris failed, these people have long since gone into hiding, how could they continue to stay there and wait to die?

However, he ignored the inconvenience of communication in this era. The government received the information early, but it does not mean that these assassins also received the information.

Now the news published in the Vienna newspapers is the assassination of Napoleon III, the arrest of the assassins, and the Paris government's accountability to the Kingdom of Sardinia. These things have not spread so quickly.

The charcoal burning party is strong in the Kingdom of Sardinia, which does not mean that it is also strong in Austria. In fact, they belonged to a cult in Austria, and their tentacles deep into Lombardy's Venecia were already severed.

Even if the Sardinian organizations received the news, they were not able to inform the assassins of their retreat. Even this assassination case was decided by the people's heads, and the charcoal party's senior officials didn't even know it.

The charcoal burning party is an alliance and has only nominal leadership over party members. In fact, we still do our part, there is no mandatory binding force on members.

Duke Louis replied with a smile: "Yes, Your Majesty! After these assassins were caught, they also asserted that they were French and said that they were assassinated by the order of Napoleon III."

It's really funny, and some people will do such a clumsy planting. Really think that if you change your nationality, you can believe it?

Franz sneered and said, "Then look at them first, don't let them die, maybe they will be of great use later."

Ready-made excuses came to the door, and the reasons for the Vienna government's support for the French came out. Assassins without action are also assassins. Under the circumstances, the two countries have nothing wrong with their enemies.

What is even more funny is that the charcoal burning party in this era is a bright organization, and its membership is open. If you want to throw out a few scapegoats, it won't work. In the case of Junjun, no one wants to get away.

"Three heroes in the founding of Italy" Mazzini, Garibaldi, and Gafur are all members of this organization, and there are even rumors that Napoleon III joined the organization.

What can the Sardinian government do to turn these people over? It is a pity that all the high-levels of the Kingdom of Sardinia except the King are among them, and the strong man's broken wrist is not so broken, which is an unsolvable problem.

Duke Louis replied, "Yes, Your Majesty!"

In order to encourage the French to annex the Kingdom of Sardinia, Franz also broke his heart. Even the opportunity to blackmail the Kingdom of Sardinia was temporarily abandoned.

St. Petersburg

No matter what the Tsarist government is doing, there is always something wrong with Europe in this era. As European hegemons, it is their responsibility and obligation to regulate the contradictions of various countries.

Of course, this responsibility is considered by the Russians, and European countries have never recognized it. The European hegemonic status of the Tsarist government is entirely based on force.

Nicholas I was embarrassed. On the one hand, he hated the Italian militant group that assassinated the emperor; on the other hand, he did not want to watch the French expansion.

Not only Nicholas I, but all the monarchs of the entire European continent except Franz, faced the same troubles.

Regardless of whether Napoleon III broke out or not, since everyone has recognized the throne, he is a member of the monarchy. Ordinary political assassinations will be resisted by everyone, let alone assassinate the monarch?

Bismarck was assassinated, and Poland, as a potbacker, suffered heavy losses. Not only was it brutally suppressed by both Russia and Russia, but it was also resisted by European countries.

Foreign Minister Karl Wollsell said rightly, "Your Majesty, this evil organization that wants a king must be punished, and all leaders must be sent to the gallows."

This is politically correct. Even the ally of the Kingdom of Sardinia, the British, let them surrender their murderers. No monarchy can tolerate the existence of evil organizations that assassinate monarchs.

Nicholas I nodded and said, "Well, this evil organization must be eradicated, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a note to the Kingdom of Sardinia to let them arrest the killer immediately.

The question now is how to avoid French expansion. The lessons of the Napoleonic era cannot be repeated, and we must limit the pace of enemy expansion. "

Foreign Minister Carl Worsell said with confidence: "Sir, it is not a question of our family to curb the expansion of the French. The French are the first to be British and Austrian to expand in Italy.

On this issue, we need not worry at all. Even if the French are stronger, there will be two countries blocking it.

This time is different. Napoleon III was not Napoleon, and did not have the talent of his uncle. Once the French enter Central Europe, they will be boycotted by everyone.

With the current strength of the French, there is simply no ability to sweep the European continent. Once the French expand into Central Europe, we will form an anti-French alliance to eliminate this enemy once and for all. "

Vigilance against the French is purely instinctual. Napoleon hit Russia's hinterland all the way back then. If it hadn't been for the winter, the Russian Empire would be dead.

Therefore, in the struggle for continental hegemony, the Tsarist government has always regarded the French as the first rival, of course, the French also regarded the Russian as the first rival.

The French and John Niu joined forces to launch the Near East War. In addition to transferring the domestic political crisis, more of the continuation of the French and Russian continental hegemony struggle.

Chancellor of the Treasury Aristanli Rod reminded: "Your Majesty, the Austrians have developed rapidly in recent years. Although they are allies with us, we must guard against them.

Now that the French have jumped out, let Austria and them pinch each other! We can also learn English and Austrian and play Continental Balance. "

The Russians have a continental balance, which sounds like heaven and earth, but this has to be done.

The three major protagonists of the Near East War, Britain and France have recovered their vitality. As the victor, the Russian Empire is still recuperating.

This shocked the Tsarist government and forced it to reform its system. Nicholas I was indeed old, and without the guts of a young age, he took a steady fight against the strong opposition of conservatives.

Moreover, the Russian empire is too large to rule so easily.

Wired telegraphs are about to become popular in continental Europe, but in Russia, they only cover a few large cities, and they still have a long way to go to cover the whole country.

Under such circumstances, the central government's control over local governments is naturally insufficient. The reform measures that were finally passed were discounted when they were finally implemented.

The effect of the reform is not obvious. Without being able to solve the financial dilemma, the Russian empire has no power to coerce the countries and it is necessary to change its national policy.

Nicholas I sighed deeply. For a long time, the European and European countries played the European balance. The Russians, who had always wanted to break the European situation, will now become supporters of the European balance policy.

"Nothing, just do it!"

With this decision, Nicholas I seemed to be much older.

Once the European continental balance policy is started, this means that the Russian Empire has completely abandoned its expansion on the European continent, and the strategic choice of the Tsarist government will be even smaller in the future.

But in the face of reality, they could not help but refuse. Even if it does not abandon its expansion on the European continent, the Tsarist government will find no place to expand. They are bordered by hard bones, and there is no way to speak.

Before that, the Tsarist government had already done it. The reconstruction of the Vienna system was part of the European balance policy, but the starting point was different.

Initially, the Tsarist government was only to consolidate its hegemony and give time to domestic reforms. Now it is because there is no money, and in order to save the cost of maintaining hegemony, we have to implement a continental balance policy.
