Chapter 459： Redefine 'Italy'

In order to test the British, Franz decided to speed up the French annexation of Italy, and now Naples, the Papal States, Tuscany and other states are bargaining with the French.

The absolute gap in strength has made them lose their intention to confront by force. Originally, Austria was expected to intervene, but unfortunately, the Vienna government chose to watch a show.

The excuses are readily available, old accounts from 1848. At that time, due to public opinion, these states were on the opposite side of Austria. Although the aristocratic king was still a good friend of Austria, he decisively dragged his back and did not cause Austria any real trouble.

The generous Franz has never thought about it, and now choosing to stand by and watch is revenge. The Italians need to pay for their willfulness.

This is a plain statement. The secret connection between the Habsburgs and the Italian nobility has never been broken.

Including Austria now supporting them, otherwise these state governments would not have the bargaining power to negotiate with the French.

Vienna normally promised that France would annex these Italian states, but how to annex it depends on the actual situation.

As a member of the aristocratic class, it is now no problem to protect class interests. Napoleon III is also a vested interest. It is impossible to break this hidden European rule, or the European continent will not be able to mingle.

Austria rebuilt the precedent of Shinra and set an example for Napoleon III. Now he also wants to serve as Italian emperor.

As for the fact that there was no emperor in Italy, he was ignored decisively. How did the Emperor of France come, and the Italian emperor could copy it, I believe that the pope would make the right choice.

The Romans forced the pope to be crowned in Rome. Many predecessors have done this kind of thing. Napoleon III did not mind emulating one or two.

It is naturally impossible to completely annex the Italian region peacefully. Austria rebuilt Shen Luo, that is, the Germans themselves wanted to unify and build a strong country.

The Italians also want to be unified, but they are not willing to be unified by the French. Without a public opinion basis, Napoleon III had to intimidate and induce.

Now the French soldiers have appeared in the Italian states. No military action was taken, which was a reluctance to cooperate with the governments of the states.

At best, it is about the conditions. No government has openly opposed it, leaving the French with no opportunity to do so. Now these guys who are not slippery are paying sky-high prices one by one.

This was what Franz was happy to see, and it would be even more interesting if Napoleon III could not help but kill them.

Without the cooperation of these ground-head snakes, the Italian region will soon become chaotic. At that time, instead of strengthening France's national strength, it will consume their strength.

Even if these earth snakes are recovered, it does not mean that they are all right. If the French do not intervene at all and rely on the rule of these state governments, it is estimated that they can barely maintain it.

Once involved, anti-French will become the mainstream of Italy in the future. Even if it is to shift social conflicts, these people will lead hatred to the French.

Moreover, there are conflicts of interest. Don't look at the fact that the capitalists seem to be very cooperative now. When the future legal capital conflicts, you will know how serious the consequences are.

It is almost impossible for this bowl of water to be leveled. Once the Italian capitalists think that the government favors French capital, it is no wonder that they do not support the Revolutionary Party.

This view is that personal subjective tendencies are too strong and can almost be said to be inevitable. This happens from time to time in Austria, and often people go to the Supreme Court to bring a lawsuit.

Many times, there will be an embarrassing situation where both sides have a reason, so that the judges do not know what to do, and finally they have to resolve it in private.

Of course, once such a thing is encountered, the legislative body will make targeted patches, and the improvement of the legal system is how to go step by step.

If you arrive in France, you may not wait until the lawsuit is over, and the crowd outside the demonstration will be able to torture the Paris government to death.

It is estimated that the French are also prepared for these problems, but they cannot predict how serious the consequences will be, otherwise they will not be so active now.

After all, the problems that happened in Austria were finally properly resolved and did not cause trouble.

Why can't we do what others can do? This pride is not lacking in the French.

Napoleon III has begun to pave the way for his son. If he cannot satisfy the French desire for a great country, I am afraid that Napoleon IV will have a headache in the future.

Napoleon III, who was good at playing with people's hearts, cannot fail to know the terrible nature of this kind of thinking. Now following the example of Austria to form Shen Luo to establish a French-Italian combined empire, it is also forced out.

Napoleon III was confident in the combat effectiveness of the French army, and once the United Empire was established, it was the European hegemon.

This can already satisfy the pursuit of most French people, and the empire's foundation will be stable. Of course, being able to ascend to the throne of Italy is also a temptation for him personally.

Riches always need to return home. For the Bonaparte family, the Italian throne is also very significant, even though the Italian king was established in the Napoleonic era.

There are still many fans in Italy. These people are Napoleon III who dare to be Italy's confidence. With force, supporters, and opportunities, why shrink back?

As for jurisprudence, it is a big deal to have another election. This time, instead of the popular election, let the state government choose directly.

As the King of the Kingdom of Sardinia, he is also eligible to run. Who else would dare to grab this position besides Napoleon III? Since he is the only candidate, he is naturally elected.

Theoretically, Ludwig I of the Kingdom of Lombard is also eligible to run, and Lombardy can also be considered a member of the Italian region. Even Franz has a Venezia crown on his head and is one of the candidates.

However, neither Franz nor Ludwig I thought that he was a member of Italy, and naturally he would not run over the mess.

Obviously, Napoleon III did not think so. Having multiple roles in Europe is the standard for established nobles, especially the title of emperor.

How to kick out the two kingdoms of Lombardy and Venesia from Italy has become the most problematic problem for Napoleon III.

Napoleon III did not think that a treaty could bind Austria in front of interests. If something happens in the middle, Franz jumps out to run for the Italian emperor, and he will make a wedding dress for others.

After all, in terms of family influence, the Bonaparte family is still inferior to Habsburg. The deepest heritage of the old nobles is that they have many relatives and sufficient legal principles.

In order to speed up the pace of the French, Franz decided not to make Napoleon III embarrassed, but to quit on his own initiative.

...

At Schönbrunn Palace, Franz summoned Foreign Minister Weissenberg and instructed: "The Ministry of Foreign Affairs notes the French and convenes an international conference in Vienna to repartition the disputed parts of Europe.

For example, the Venezia and Lombardy regions should belong to the German region, not the Italian region. Now it is a German cultural circle. "

This is what Napoleon III wanted to do, but did not dare to do. The division of Italy by name was actually a definition of the sovereignty of the Italian Empire that was about to emerge.

No matter how ferocious the trend of unification in Italy is, it is an indisputable fact that since the collapse of the Roman Empire, Italy has never been unified again.

The so-called legal sovereignty does not exist at all. Lombardy and Venesia are now reluctant to mingle with them and there are no legal issues.

A region is not a country. How can we talk about sovereignty? Before the birth of the Italian Confederacy, changing the geographical name in advance was a political signal that Franz sent to Napoleon III.

Anyway, the division of territory is artificial. It is not impossible to re-divide now. As long as France and Austria are consistent, what's the point of changing the geographical scope?

This will not involve the interests of all parties, and even if there is objection, there will not be much problem. The reason for the division was all Franz thought about, and it was organized according to culture.

As a result, the definition of the German region is even broader. With the exception of Lombardy and Venesia, much of the Balkans has become German.

Regardless of whether the outside world recognizes it or not, Austria's official documents can change. These regions are indeed German cultural circles, and there is nothing wrong with the division according to cultural traditions.

Weissenberg thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid that this will be a bit of a hassle. These areas are only called by people. If you divide the area according to cultural circles, I am afraid it will cause many countries to be vigilant."

Vigilance is inevitable. Who wants Austria's propaganda slogan to unify the German region? The political slogans are so shouted, everyone is not surprised.

Of course, it's not much better not to shout this slogan. Just pull someone in Europe and ask: Does Austria have the ambition to unify the German region, and the answer is the same-yes.

Anyway, I can't hide it, it is better to shout out brightly. The slogan of the Vienna government has been screaming for so many years, and the result remains the same.

Be vigilant, but not so hostile. After all, Franz is not a radical, holding up the banner of "peaceful reunification", and so many states in the Shinra Empire are examples.

If it weren't for fear of detonating the situation in Europe, Franz would be able to split the German Federal Empire at any time. In recent years, many small states have been drawn to Austria.

Now if we expand the scope of the German region, it is estimated that Switzerland, Belgium, and the Netherlands will be unable to sleep.

Franz said indifferently: "Don't worry. At the same time as you divide the region, you can sign an international convention to clarify the‘ regional nouns cannot be a unified legal basis' with the legal situation, to give them peace of mind. ”

This is all nonsense, regional nouns have never been a unified legal basis. Is it possible that everyone is a human being, and can we legally unify the earth?

The so-called reassuring people might as well say that they are flickering and let them relax their vigilance. As for the future, Franz didn't really think of them.

Originally there was only a projectile land, and there were not many resources, and it was very troublesome to govern. As long as it's not water in his head, Franz will choose to expand in easier areas.

Now that everyone is playing well, expanding the scope of the German region is mainly for publicity needs and is conducive to exporting German culture.

It may be inconspicuous now, and the future is the big German cultural circle. Otherwise, it would be tragedy to make the layout ahead of time and make English the mainstream in the world.
