Chapter 1053： Off-track plan

In addition to calling for restraint on both sides, the Vienna government did not take practical actions at all and put on a posture that had nothing to do with me, and the condemnation of European countries also remained verbal.

After all, there are not many countries that dare to provoke the Russian beards these days.

It's okay to let everyone shout slogans. If you really interfere, then save time! This kind of fearless international spirit can't be tolerated by ordinary countries.

London

The British government had just succeeded in the first step of the "Project for Diversion of Troubles to the East", and the rejoicing British government had not had time to be happy for a few days. Then it received the bad news of the Russian army raiding France.

Yes, Prime Minister Robert Cecil was blown up. If the Russians continue to toss like this, France, who is already half-life, is really going to die.

Had it not been for the saneness, Robert Cecil would have ordered the Royal Navy to go to the Baltic Sea to block the gate and intercept the Russian fleet escorting French laborers.

The main reason is that blocking the door has no effect. Even if the Baltic Sea is blocked, the Russians can still go to the Mediterranean, or simply borrow the railway transportation system of Shenluo.

For the sake of the overall situation, Robert Cecil had to choose restraint. After all, the conflict between Britain and Russia has been intensified at this time, and the strategy of diverting disasters from the east has no fun.

The current international situation is very obvious. Once the eyes of the Holy Roman Empire turn from the continent to the sea, Britain's biggest challenge will come.

Before that, if you cut off the Russians, Britain will really get cold.

Fighting against Shenluo on the sea, and competing with the Russians for India on land, you will know how terrifying the picture is when you think about it.

However, no matter how restrained, it is difficult to extinguish the anger in Robert Cecil's heart. Without the French, who else could Britain look for as cannon fodder?

Are you Russian?

If you look at the Russian-Austrian League, you know that the previous tenures have not been split up after decades of effort. Robert Cecil doesn't think he can bring the two countries to war.

If Shenluo and the British Bayonet really become popular, the probability of the Tsarist government taking the opportunity to go south to India is a hundred times greater than the probability of going west to Europe.

Spanish?

It's not that Robert Cecil looked down on people, but it was actually the scoop empire of this year. It looked like a scoop, and the empire didn't know where it flew.

There is no imperial duck, it is a dish on the table. Even if it is pulled over, it is an extra meal for the enemy.

Neither of these two works. You can't find Sardinia, Belgium, Switzerland... these small peasant countries, right?

As a qualified politician, Robert Cecil is not a fantasyist. "Raise your arms, the heroes gathered." It was a novel, the appealing power that Britain didn't have at its peak, let alone think about it now.

Just relying on the words "geopolitics", it is doomed that these small and cluttered nations on the European continent cannot stand up against the Shinra; on the contrary, they may be trapped by the Shinra and declare war on Britain.

A similar scene appeared in the previous anti-French war. In order to make up the number of people, the Vienna government used coercion and temptation.

The only three neutral countries escaped because they did not border France and did not affect the overall situation.

The current Holy Roman Empire and the "new gods" of the year are no longer the same. In the evening, the Vienna government will be able to pull up a bunch of brothers and gang up against France, let alone now.

Without chaos in the European continent, the Holy Roman Empire will be able to gather the resources of Asia, Europe and Africa. Faced with such an opponent, even if Britain sits on the whole world, they don't know how to start.

Today is different from the past. In the past, the British government’s national policy was to suppress all those threats and suppress all threats; now Robert Cecil’s goal has fallen to: Stabilize the situation.

Competitors are unprecedentedly strong. It would be good to be able to keep Britain’s maritime hegemony. Robert Cecil has not dared to ask for more.

"The Russians are so reckless. As the European gendarmerie, the Vienna government just looks at it like this?"

Although the title of "European Gendarmerie" is domineering, it is not a good word to use it on the Vienna government.

In the Vienna Conference of 1815, Metternich relied on diplomatic means to control the pace of the conference, restricting the Russians to Eastern Europe and squeezing Britain out of the European continent.

Immediately afterwards, they wooed the countries to form the Holy Alliance and tried their best to maintain the balance between the monarchy and the European continent. Austria was once awarded the title of "European Gendarmerie".

However, the highlight moment is just that moment. In the following years, Austria, as an old-school empire, went downhill.

The weak Austrian can't afford to kill, in order to avoid falling into the target of public criticism, the Vienna government can only lead to misfortunes and draw this domineering title of hatred to the Russians.

The Vienna government did not dare to ask, but the Tsarist government liked it very much. Since 1848, the Russian Empire has had the reputation of "European Gendarmerie".

Putting the label of "European Gendarmerie" on the Vienna government again is nothing more than hoping that the Vienna government will follow in the footsteps of the past and the country will decline.

Foreign Secretary Cameron: "It is a pity, Prime Minister. Although we have worked hard to build momentum, even King Carlos goes to the Vienna Palace every day to block the gate, but the Vienna government is unmoved.

It can be seen that the determination of the Vienna government to suppress France has reached an unshakable level. Even if it involves international prestige, they cannot be shaken.

Judging from the current signs, the Russians are likely to have reached a political deal with the Vienna government, and France has become a victim of this deal.

The Tsarist government used its prominence to suppress France as a bargaining chip, in exchange for Vienna's understanding of their construction of the Siberian railway, and by the way solved the labor problem required by the railway.

The most direct evidence is that the logistical supplies for the Russian troops in France are now provided by the Vienna government.

If the inference is correct, then while we are concerned about the Holy Roman Empire, we must also pay more attention to the tsarist government.

This is a mistake in our previous work, and we underestimated the cunning level of the Russians to allow them to take advantage. "

For Britain, how Russia and Austria hook up is not important. The key lies in the final result. The Vienna government is indeed supporting the actions of the Russians.

Other things can deceive people, but the fact that the Vienna government provides supplies to the Russian army cannot deceive people.

After calming down, Robert Cecil waved his hand and said: "This is not your responsibility. We all underestimate the tsarist government.

No one thought that when the **** Russian played politics, his methods were so vicious.

If they had this ability before, the situation in Europe would definitely not be the current situation. "

Diplomacy has always been the shortcoming of the Russians, and being able to use a knife is unreasonable because the tsarist government left an inherent impression on the European world.

Even Alexander III, who is known as "the most knowledgeable diplomatic czar," actually only eased relations with European countries and allowed the Russian Empire to be accepted by the European world.

The biggest diplomatic achievement is probably the further consolidation of the Russian-Austrian alliance. The economic tie between Russia and Shinra has become tighter, and the threat of the Western Front has been completely eliminated.

It is indeed a great diplomatic achievement. Relying on economic bondage, the interests of Russia and Shinra are intertwined. The current situation is that one family is finished, and the other will suffer.

Other European countries have to worry about the threat posed by the rise of the Holy Roman Empire, but the tsarist government can ignore it completely.

The interests of the two countries are too deeply involved. If the Holy Roman Empire wants to go to war with the Russian Empire, the first knife must be cut on itself.

No normal person would like "self-harm". Before the economic separation of the two countries, the Tsarist government did not need to worry about threats from Europe, and could safely go south or eastward.

This is the end of the matter. Apart from self-comfort, the British government can really not do much. Unless they can abandon their conspiracy against the Russian Empire and terminate the construction of the Siberian Railway.

Obviously, this is impossible. Even though the Holy Roman Empire is the greatest threat to Britain, the Russian Empire is the most direct threat to the British.

This is not a contradiction. Although the Holy Roman Empire is powerful, the navy has a long way to go beyond the Royal Navy.

Even if it does exceed it, it does not mean that the two countries will go to war immediately.

As long as the British government does not take the lead, it is more likely that Shenluo will slowly pull Britain down through prolonged confrontation and consumption.

Those who just have a weak advantage and immediately ran out to play a gambling-style decisive battle can only be achieved by the second-second youngsters. A mature country will not blindly gamble on national luck.

Compared with the long-term threat of the Holy Roman Empire, Russian talents are the immediate threat. It is only three or four years since the Central Asia Railway was opened to traffic.

According to the principle that every tsar succeeding to the throne of the Russian Empire will inevitably launch a foreign war, it is not necessary to think about Robert Cecil to know where the Russians are targeting.

With a perverted enemy like Shinra, they can bear it. Robert Cecil really has no energy to play a friendly match with the Russians in India.

A dead fellow is not dead. For your own safety, it can only cause trouble. Regardless of whether the Russians can be killed in the Far East, the London government must try.

Chancellor of the Exchequer Pavel: "The plan to use the Siberian Railway to consume the national power of the Russians has now failed by one-third, so the remaining two-thirds will no longer be allowed to fail.

In any case, the Russians must first start the Siberian railway project. French labor can only reduce the manpower investment of the Czarist government, but financial and material resources are still indispensable.

There is a drag on the railway project. At least for the next few years, the Russians will not be able to go south to compete with us for India.

At the same time, we must increase our support for anti-Russian groups such as the French Resistance, the Polish Revolutionary Party, the Bulgarian Independence Organization, the Russian Revolutionary Party, and the Afghan guerrillas.

Regardless of whether they succeed in the end, as long as they make trouble, they can consume the strength of the Russians.

As long as it is dragged to the opening of the Siberian Railway, the Russians have a second strategic choice, and the situation is quite different. "

The reality is cruel, and since France is doomed to be unable to be saved, then simply give it up. It's not the first time to sell teammates anyway, let alone the French.

(Note: The Chancellor of the Exchequer of the United Kingdom is divided into the first minister and the second minister. The prime minister concurrently serves as the first minister of the exchequer, and the second minister of the exchequer is the one who really performs his duties)
