Chapter 776： Finding opponents

When someone is proud, others are disappointed. Russia and Austria are celebrating victory, and the atmosphere inside the London government seems extraordinarily weird.

Politicians are not good, even if no matter how bad the mood is, the Prime Minister of Gladstone still forced to send a congratulatory message.

No way, the British people are still watching? It's one thing to secretly support the Ottoman Empire.

The effect of the butterfly effect is getting bigger and bigger, international contradictions are far less intense than in the original space-time, and everyone's discipline is correspondingly so high.

There was really only one loss, and he was able to pass his face. Secretly, the knife should be stabbed, and the knife should not be stabbed at each other.

In the Prime Minister's residence at Downing Street, Foreign Minister George issued a document saying: "This is an agreement we have just reached with the Austrians to re-divide the sphere of influence of the two countries in the Middle East.

We condition on supporting Austria's annexation of the Ottoman Empire in exchange for their not expanding into Persia. "

Does this agreement make sense?

Can a contract really bind Austria?

It depends on the angle from which it starts. Austria's annexation of the Ottoman Empire became a foregone conclusion, and this was not what the British government objected to work.

However, some Britons admitted that this expansion could make the expansion more legal. In this respect, the Government of Vienna has an incentive to compromise.

On the other hand, this is based on the premise of the Vienna government's attention to eating.

If the Vienna government abruptly abstained from one day's practice, these international agreements will be considered waste paper.

Gladstone took a sip of cigar in his hand and said slowly: "It seems we have a few more years to settle down. The Austrians need time to digest the Asia Minor Peninsula. This agreement is effective in the short term."

Foreign Minister George added: "According to the information gathered by the embassy, ​​Russia and Austria are engaged in secret negotiations. The specific content is unknown, but it is certainly not just post-war share.

Not long ago, the Vienna government also carried out immigration and relocation in the Asia Minor Peninsula. At present, millions of people have been deported and still have not stopped. They have the intention to vacate the Ottoman Empire.

The real purpose is unknown, anyway, it was definitely not for the safety of the Ottomans that they were relocated.

We have sent people to verify that there has been no large-scale plague in the Asia Minor Peninsula, and no black death.

At such a high cost, the Austrians paid more attention to the Asia Minor Peninsula than anyone could imagine.

It is worth mentioning that the war is over, the Tsarist government did not send administrative officials to the Asia Minor Peninsula, and even did not mean to establish an administrative agency.

This is very abnormal, and may have something to do with the finances of the Tsarist government, unable to undertake post-war reconstruction and restoration.

Based on the analysis of these signs, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs believes that the Russians may give up the legacy of the Ottoman Empire in exchange for Austrian financial compensation. "

No matter how passive the British Foreign Office seems to be in the previous disposal, they are still at the peak of this era in terms of diplomatic expertise.

Being able to connect several irrelevant things through clues on the bright side and analyze the purpose behind them is enough to prove their professional ability.

After listening to this explanation, Gladstone stood up, walked to the map behind him, and stared at the Asia Minor Peninsula.

After a while, he reluctantly said, "We are in big trouble in the future. As soon as we don't pay attention, Austria will be bigger and cannot be restricted.

Relocating the Ottomans, I am afraid that the Vienna government is trying to integrate the Asia Minority Peninsula into its homeland. By then, from Vienna to Jerusalem, there will be a whole.

Look at the map. After winning the Ottoman Empire, except for Constantinople, what is the difference between Austria's current sphere of influence and the Eastern Roman Empire? "

What's the difference, there must be. Italian heels are gone, so are Bulgaria and the Crimean peninsula.

However, Austria's territory penetrated into Central Europe and colonized more than half of Africa. The scope of control was far beyond that of the Eastern Roman Empire.

Taken together, it is stronger. Before the fall of the Ottoman Empire, everyone's feelings were not obvious. Now just open the map and know what it means.

Secretary of the Navy Astley Cooper Keye blurted out: "They want to rebuild the Roman Empire!"

Immediately, he denied: "This is impossible, and no European country will agree. It is a dead end to do so."

Foreign Minister George said indifferently: "It is naturally impossible to rebuild Rome, but the Austrian Empire is no less inferior to the Roman Empire.

From Central Europe to the Middle East, Austrian territory is included. Once these regions have been digested, Austria ’s native area has doubled.

If the Arabian Peninsula is added, the land connected with their homeland will be more than 5 million square kilometers, and the Roman Empire at the peak was no different.

However, this is only part of it. If you count their overseas colonies, now Austria has virtually surpassed the peak of the Habsburgs.

Unlike any empire in the past, the internal hazards of the Austrian Empire are very small. The Vienna government's unswerving population migration policy keeps the newly expanded territory free of hidden dangers of rule.

The stability of this empire far surpasses the historical Habsburg dynasty, and it is simply impossible to count on their internal collapse.

If we let the Austrians continue to develop and digest these regions, all our previous plans are a joke. "

Regardless of the harsh natural conditions in the Middle East and the Arab region, it is also relatively speaking. At least it is more suitable for human survival than the Russian Siberia.

If Austria were to be developed, there would be no guarantee that, based on the productivity of this era, it would still be easy to feed 200 million people.

Including Austrian Africa, the population carrying capacity is at least 500 million, and its development potential is comparable to the entire European continent.

Minister of Finance Xiaozhi-Childers laughed: "Sir, you are too pessimistic. A country is not the larger the territory, the stronger it is, otherwise the world ’s largest power is the Russians.

However, the Russians with the largest native area in the world have the fourth largest comprehensive strength in Europe and do not have the strength to match the territory.

This is not only the decay of the Tsarist government, but also the geographical conditions. The harsh environmental system of the ice-snow country has a priori an appointment with Russia's economic development.

At present, Austria is facing a similar situation. It seems that a large area of ​​territory has been obtained through expansion. However, most of this land is desert and it cannot be exploited at all.

The slightly better conditions of the Asia Minor Peninsula have also been reduced to white ground due to the war, and they cannot produce benefits in the short term.

If you want to develop the economy, you have to improve the environment yourself. Otherwise, the Vienna government will not implement the Land Fallow Law in the Middle East and the Arabian Peninsula.

Nature is not so easy to change. After all these years, no results have come out. The plan of the Vienna government should have failed. "

Foreign Minister George shook his head: "No, the Austrians are still fruitful. I don't know about other areas, but large forests have indeed been added outside Jerusalem.

Sandstorms are no longer able to threaten Jerusalem, and newspapers in London have also published that religious personnel have always considered it a gift of God.

From the implementation of the land fallow law to now, Austria's area of ​​control has increased by at least 2300,000 square kilometers of forest land and grassland. "

It's no surprise that everyone has left. The grass where the farm was grown is now flying, and the greening rate naturally goes up.

This is a virtuous cycle. Without the agriculture that consumes water resources, plants and trees have the functions of wind and sand fixation and soil erosion conservation. Water resources are gradually enriching and driving the expansion of the oasis area.

Of course, this kind of restoration is mainly due to the obvious early effects. From farmland to grassland and woodland, it is natural that it is not easy to increase the oasis area later.

Restoring ecology by nature is not an overnight problem. Jerusalem is an exception, driven primarily by political and religious interests.

The declining religion needs miracles to consolidate the declining beliefs; the Vienna government needs a beautiful Jerusalem to show its contribution to the Christian world, increase its international reputation, and increase national support for the government. The two sides hit the scene and planted afforestation outside the city.

Jerusalem is 24 kilometers from the Dead Sea and 56 kilometers from the Mediterranean Sea. After hundreds of thousands of people have left, the problem of local water shortage has been resolved.

After a large amount of money is invested, the effect is natural. If the environmental ambassador is to be selected this year, Franz and Leo XIII are the top players.

Seeing the topic getting farther and farther, Gladstone interrupted: "Okay, two people. It doesn't matter whether the Austrians have achieved or not. It is not something that humans can accomplish now.

The immediate priority is how to limit the growth of Austria's power or to disrupt the possible Russia-Austrian transactions.

You know, after the annexation of the Ottoman Empire, there was only one Egyptian barrier from Vienna to Austrian Africa.

The French just now look strong, but they have not actually emerged from civil strife. In the future competition, they may fall behind.

Over time, the national power gap between the two countries has continued to widen, and they may compromise on one day.

That horrible picture, I can hardly imagine it. "

No matter what age, the most indispensable are gun artillery experts. The issue of deserts becoming oasis has been raised for a long time.

It's just that they are still shouting in the corner, they haven't gained the approval of the mainstream society and can't talk about influence.

Including the Desert Oasis plan of the Vienna government, there are only specific plans in the Jerusalem area, and there is only one land fallow method in other areas, and nature will slowly recover.

In contrast, the consequences of Faou's compromise were more serious.

We need to know that France and Austria still maintain a superficial ally relationship. As long as the strength gap between the two sides keeps widening, one side thinks that it has lost the power to compete for hegemony.

Foreign Minister George: "The best way to stop this from happening is to drag Austria into the war and consume their power.

Political and diplomatic strengths were the strengths of the Habsburgs. Their only weakness was in the military.

Of course, this shortcoming is only relatively speaking. Throughout the world, only France and Russia can rival them. "
