Chapter 464： When the night is quiet

In the middle of the night, on the Ring of Vienna, under the light of the lights, the Austrian International Hotel located here is particularly dazzling.

In Vienna, which has a lot of land and money, an Austrian hotel covering an area of ​​2888.88 acres is definitely a beautiful scenery.

The hotel has all kinds of amusement facilities. It is the most luxurious hotel of this era, and it is also the most expensive hotel of this era. There is no one.

Being able to live here is a status symbol in itself. Even the cheapest room would cost hundreds of Aegis.

Different rooms correspond to different grades of identity, and the palace-like buildings inside are only accessible to nobles. Even if ordinary people are rich, they can only live in civilian areas.

So this is Franz's most failed investment. Everyone is very obedient. Capitalists will not step into the aristocratic area, and nobles will not live in the civilian area.

Even the aristocracy is rigorous. Everyone will only choose rooms with matching identities, and never step over Lei Chi.

Nowadays, the business of ordinary rooms is usually very popular, but there are very few customers in the high-end aristocracy area, especially the highest-grade imperial palace, which has not yet opened.

It is not that the hotel does not accept ordinary people. The problem is that no one dares to cross Leichi halfway. This is determined by social ethos, and once behavior transcends identity, it will be rejected.

Slowly it becomes the rules of the hotel. What kind of treatment does the identity match? If you are full, you will change to a hotel.

The Emperor's Palace, originally priced at 8888 Aegis, became embarrassed and ordinary people could not move in. If a king comes to the door, Franz can't let his family pay for it.

Angrily, Franz added another 8 to the list price, and it became 88888888 Aegis, forcing him to go up immediately.

There isn't one of the most expensive hotels in the world. At this price, it is enough to buy two Austrian hotels. Then no one can afford it.

Not only the emperor level is unattended, but the duke and marquis levels below cannot be opened. It's not a question of affordability. The key is the big aristocracy of this identity. Who doesn't have a house in Vienna?

The local nobles do not move in, and it is expected that the foreign nobles will not be able to meet a customer for a year.

A large number of ultra-luxury rooms are left idle, and a lot of costs are required for maintenance. The operating costs of Austrian hotels naturally go up.

If the civilian area is not opened in time next door, and a lot of local tycoons are attracted by the brand effect, and the open conference room is set up, and a business membership system is set up, Franz will lose his life in doubt.

Reality once again proves that things that are too far ahead often make people become martyrs. In the subsequent presidential suites, many local tyrants were reluctant to think about it, but the emperor's palace of this era was not concerned.

On the contrary, the commercial membership system was well received later. The annual membership fee of 12,000 Aegis was also supported by a large number of rich people.

Now capitalists like to talk business in Austrian hotels, not only to show off their wealth, but also a manifestation of their own strength.

People who pay tens of thousands of membership fees each year will not be scammers. The hotel first reviewed the information of the other party. Without certain strength, they are not eligible to become members.

All kinds of money-making routines have been added, and the profits of the Austrian Grand Hotel are still only passable, and you know how bad Franz's original plan was.

The Marquis of Macleans, lying on the hotel bed, did not care about the luxury of the grand hotel, anyway, it was arranged by the Austrian government, and he did not need to pay a penny.

This is the benefit of a strong country. As a British foreign minister, there are people who receive it everywhere. You do not need to find a hotel yourself like the Japanese delegation.

The more expensive it is for Macleans, the better he can reimburse the London government. This is invisible welfare, otherwise how can we say that this era is the best era for British bureaucrats?

Is n’t it good at the embassy, ​​why do you have to stay in a luxury hotel?

This is a small problem. The British Empire is not bad for money, at least not for bureaucrats. It should be a business trip subsidy. After all, the British system has not been perfected. This is the golden age of money.

Thinking about daytime negotiations, Macleans was unable to fall asleep. The alliance between France and Austria is not very enthusiastic about their alliance, and they even have some resistance.

This also proves that the France-Austria alliance is real. Only when France and Austria are allied can the Anglo-French-Austrian alliance become a chicken rib.

This is very detrimental to his next work. Without the cooperation of France and Austria, the three-nation alliance cannot be established at all.

If you cannot join, how can you break up the French-Austrian alliance? Macleans has now determined that the Franco-Austrian alliance exists. Unlike others, he believes that the two countries may reach agreement on European issues.

This Vienna conference can prove that on the Italian issue, the two countries have reached an agreement, and the dispute between the two parties is only in Central Europe.

However, the controversial Rhineland region is still in the hands of the Kingdom of Prussia, and France and Austria have not reached the point of direct confrontation at all.

If the two countries cooperate, Austria annexes the German Federation and France annexes Italy.

The Rhineland region is not their territory. Whoever abandons the region does not need to bear much political risk.

If compensation can be obtained from other regions, the possibility of compromise between France and Austria on this issue is very high.

Belgium, the Netherlands, and Switzerland, all three small countries, may all fall victim to the compromise between France and Austria. There is nothing to talk about in front of interests.

This is not what the London government wants to see. France and Austria are already strong and have threatened British security. If they are allowed to grow further, there is really no limit.

Provoked the war between France and Austria and caused them both to lose. The London government already has more than a hundred plans for such a plan, but in practice, it does not know where to start.

Now that France and Austria are restraining each other, the European continent as a whole can still maintain a balance. Once war broke out, the balance was broken.

If in the end there is no loss of both, and the two sides will win and lose in a short time, Europe will be the largest.

One more anti-French war, or an anti-Olympic war? Except for the whimsical party, everyone else has no hope.

The Russian Empire and Prussia + Poland have completely confronted each other. The power of hatred has prevented them from joining together. The remaining countries may not have enough power.

At that time, Britain can only go into battle again. Now the anti-war sentiment in Britain is high. The wars in the past dozen years have made the British people very disgusted with war.

Macleans is not an idealist and does not think that European countries should follow their script. Whether it was Napoleon III or Franz, their main achievements were political.

Encountering such an opponent is more difficult than Napoleon. What if the operation is not good and the hatred of the two countries is full, instead of killing each other, France and Austria will directly kill them?

We need to know that the French-Austrian alliance has not been disbanded. This alliance is not aimed at them, but who else can it target?

Joining this alliance and re-dividing France and Austria are the best strategies.

If you can't do the latter, you have to take a step back. The three nations join forces to dominate the world. Britain only needs to find a way to become the leader of the alliance.

It can be said that the British have considered all issues comprehensively, and the only trouble now is how to convince France and Austria to agree to form an alliance.

Macleans was thinking that the original plan had failed. What interests can now be bought out to buy the two countries, and the interests of Britain can be protected to the greatest extent.

It is impossible to cut their own flesh, at best it is to be generous to others, and to sacrifice the interests of other countries to achieve their goals is what they are best at.

It was late, and Macleans went to sleep in his calculations. In the dream, he completed this diplomatic game, which established Britain's world supremacy and became the greatest prime minister in British history.

...

It wasn't just Macleans who had a headache for the Three Kingdoms League. The Palace of Versailles was brightly lit. Napoleon III was also worried about this issue.

Don't think that pro-British will not be anti-British. In the face of interests, the positions of politicians can change at any time.

Napoleon III, who lived in Britain, knew very well that the British were terrible, and even suffered from phobia.

Time always dilutes everything. Over a decade of emperor life, Napoleon III's fear of the British gradually faded.

France is far from comparable then, and the gap between the strength of the British and the British is actually not large. But Napoleon III's fear of the British was never diminished.

Obviously the British are a naval power, and although the threat to France is great, it has not yet reached the point where it can be lethal. If they fight together, the French can still be hurt by both defeats.

On the contrary, Austria, which is also an army power, may pose a fatal threat to France, but Napoleon III had full confidence in Austria and was not so afraid of it at all.

Deep-rooted ideas are also an important factor in determining the direction of politics.

Just like Russia in later generations, it is clear that the comprehensive national strength has fallen behind, but in everyone's consciousness, it is still the second largest country in the world. Instead ...

The problem is that Franz was similar to Napoleon III. He also dreaded the British, but did not take the French as a lethal threat.

What about being an army power? In my heart, I do n’t want to persuade. Anyway, geographical location determines that it is difficult for France and Austria to reach each other's core areas.

The Albis mountain range is not suitable for military operations, which means that it cannot be beaten from the Italian region, let alone the other side.

Throughout the two world wars, the Germans attacked France from Belgium, and knew that the southern region was not suitable for army operations.

Bypassing Belgium can mean that both sides must cross Prussia at the same time so that the two sides can fight.

Although Europe does not have allusions to false deeds, the Berlin government still dares not to excuse them. Of course, even if they are willing to make excuses, no one dares.

Unless Belgium and the Rhineland are occupied first, it would not be tragedy for the army to be cut off immediately after it has passed.

Because they do not regard each other as a threat, France and Austria have formed an alliance in the common interest. Both sides are confident waiting for the completion of the strategic layout before slowly overwhelming each other.

It is not enough to deal with the British. Neither the Austrian navy nor the French navy has suppressed the strength of the Royal Navy. The most optimistic estimate is to lose both.

This is also the reason why the relationship between Britain and France did not make further alliances after the recovery of Napoleon III.

Now is no exception. France and Austria both regard the British as their worst enemy, and the British hold the same attitude. It is not easy to make alliances with your enemies.

Taking a sip of freshly ground coffee, Napoleon III sighed. He didn't want to turn his face with the British, but John Bull was stopping him from annexing Italy.

Deep down, Napoleon III has already made a decision. If the British would acquiesce in the expansion of France, then everyone would form an alliance, otherwise they would not need to talk.

If the alliance does not bring benefits to France, then it will not play with the British.
