Chapter 1069： An excuse to deliver

The fool misses opportunities, the wise are good at seizing opportunities, the winners are good at creating opportunities, and opportunities are only reserved for those who are prepared.

Since it wants to withdraw troops from France, the Tsarist government will naturally not be held back by an "excus".

There is only one way to withdraw troops without causing backlash from the anti-French alliance. Only when the Russian Empire and a third country go to war can the Tsarist government have enough reason to withdraw its troops and not be blamed by other countries.

When you open the map, you know that there are not many neighbors in the Russian Empire. Europe is hard bones, and the British in South Asia are not easy to provoke, and those who are easy to bully are in the east.

Before the czarist government found a chance to make excuses for war, someone would send the handle to the door. A "Letter of Declaration of War of All Nations" was introduced across the oceans to Europe. Before European countries could respond, the Tsarist government took the lead in declaring war.

If you don't accept it, you have never seen someone like that.

Fortunately, this is just a farce. The battle book is only circulated internally and has not been handed over to the ministers of various countries. It does not constitute a real battle book, otherwise...

Legal principles are not important, anyway, what the Russians want is just an excuse to make use of the topic, and the Far Eastern Empire happened to deliver it to the door by itself.

It is estimated that the tsarist government has not yet figured out whether to fight or not, how to fight it, and how far it is.

Needless to say, you don't need to know the rest. Anyway, the Far Eastern Empire is going to be unlucky this time. If the Russians took the lead, the British would naturally not be idle, let alone the Japanese.

With the butterfly effect, the three countries of Italy, Germany, and Austria will be tossed. The United States will be divided into two. In the end, the coalition forces of several countries will come together. This question can only be asked to God.

...

The new Foreign Minister Leo Frankel: "Your Majesty, the Tsarist government declared war on the Far Eastern Empire yesterday afternoon, and at the same time sent us an invitation letter..."

Without waiting for the Foreign Secretary to finish speaking, Franz interrupted: "Reject them directly. The international situation is changing, and we may fight the British one day.

The empire did not have the strength to compete with the British in the Far East. At this time, distracting attention into the Far East empire was not the work of the wise.

Pay close attention to the next move of the tsarist government. If they are to withdraw troops from France, they must be delayed for two months to buy time for the formation of a peacekeeping force. "

The reason is far-fetched, but Shinra's strategic core is indeed not in East Asia. This densely populated area is not Shinra’s expansion target either.

In contrast, the importance of France is much higher. No matter how dilapidated France is now, in view of the glorious history of the French, the Vienna government still dare not take it lightly.

"Your Majesty, the Tsarist government has announced a withdrawal plan. The Russians decided to draw 220,000 troops from France on the pretext of war needs.

After the implementation of the plan, the total number of Russian troops stationed in France will drop from the current 270,000 to 50,000.

We have already received the diplomatic note, and it is estimated that the coalition command will receive it soon, and we will wait for the concrete implementation.

Of course, if we ask for a two-month postponement of troop withdrawal, the tsarist government should give this face. "

Foreign Secretary Leo Frankel reminded slightly embarrassed.

The war provided an excuse for the tsarist government to withdraw its troops. It did not withdraw all the troops at one time. It is estimated that the tsarist government still wants to get involved in the anti-French alliance, and is not prepared to do nothing.

Since it does not want to do nothing, the Vienna government asked the Russian army to postpone its withdrawal for two months, which is naturally not a problem.

In any case, this is more than two hundred thousand troops. If you want to withdraw so many personnel and weapons from France to the Russian Empire, if there is no cooperation from Shenluo, the Tsarist government will not even think about it for a year or a half.

For the Holy Roman Empire, it is obviously a good thing that the Russian army did not completely withdraw.

Dirty and tiring work that is not visible is always done by someone. As long as enough money is given, Russian officers and soldiers will not be afraid of being fooled.

With this professional back-up team, it is very helpful to maintain the international image of the Holy Roman Empire.

Franz didn't think that after the Russian army was gone, the French would welcome the entry of the Shenluo army. Although the military discipline of the Shenluo army may be better, the centuries-old feud between the two countries cannot be resolved overnight.

You don't need to think about Franz knowing that when the time comes, "Chen Zhi, rotten corn" will be revealed again.

Even if the French don't care about it, the British will help them wake up their sleeping hatred and provoke conflicts.

History has proven that hatred alone cannot solve the problem with gentleness. Most of the time, it is more reliable to use a bayonet.

Franz did not dare to hope that he could win the hearts of the people in France. As long as the situation can be stabilized, so that the French will not be in the next hegemony struggle and jump out to cause trouble for themselves.

...

London

The resurgence of the Far East is definitely a good thing for the British government. After receiving this good news, Prime Minister Robert Cecil became energetic.

It's not easy. Except for the first day as the Prime Minister, he has never been so happy the rest of the time.

There is no way, the international situation is too unfriendly to Britain. Looking at the European Union on the other side of the Strait, Robert Cecil had nothing but sighs besides sighs.

After exhausting thoughts and calculations, it only increased the time for Shinra to integrate the European continent, and did not fundamentally solve the problem.

I have to admit the power of geopolitics. As an epoch-making European hegemon, as long as Shinra is not rebellious, European countries must rely on it.

This is no longer a question of benefit or benefit, but a more core issue of survival. In cruel international competition, small countries have no choice but to rely on the strong.

Of course, these hurdles are just a small hassle, and the actual value that can be exerted is still very limited.

What really worries Britain is the Russian-Austrian alliance. If this trump card combination is not dealt with, Britain will fight against Shenluo at sea and the Russian-Austrian coalition on land.

Prime Minister Robert Cecil at sea does not persuade, and the Royal Navy is not afraid of anyone alone; there is a tragedy on land, which is truly heartbreaking.

Now finally there is a turnaround. Regardless of the reason why the Russians moved eastward, it has alleviated Britain's pressure in India.

In order to defend India, these British governments did not spend less time. Not only did the blood work to train the colonial army, but even the fallen Persia was funded by Britain.

Don't ask the Persians to do anything, as long as the Persian Empire can hold on for a longer period of time, it is enough not to let the Shenluo army push all the way to India.

The national strategy was never set lightly. Since the Tsarist government chose to beat the Far Eastern Empire at this time, then the Russians’ eastward advancement strategy was basically a firm decision.

The next question is how to hit the Russians heavily in the east, get rid of the problem of multi-line combat, and then destroy the Russian-Austrian alliance, and finally pull the Russians to their side.

The plan is a bit complicated and difficult to implement, and the success rate is so low.

But a plan is better than no plan. At this point, the only way for Britain to continue its hegemony is to win over the Russians.

The Russian Empire in its heyday was obviously unable to pull it off. People were drooling while looking at India, and Robert Cecil did not dare to seek skin with Mao Xiong.

In this context, it is very necessary to weaken the Russians and let the tsarist government have a sense of crisis.

It's almost the original time-space routine. Before the Russo-Japanese War, the conflicts between Britain and Russia were sharp, and the relations between Germany and Russia were still very good. After the war, the relations between Germany and Russia deteriorated rapidly, but the conflicts between Britain and Russia tended to ease.

Despite the central adjustment of France, the fundamental reason is that the tsarist government felt threatened by the Germans. Otherwise, loans alone would not be enough to make the tsarist government submit.

After all, it is nothing new that debts are not repaid. The ancestors did it, so why couldn't Nicholas II do it?

Needless to say for now, it can be seen from the fact that the czars of all generations wanted to get rid of their dependence on Vienna, the Russians really felt the pressure.

The relationship between the two countries can be maintained. On the one hand, the Russian-Austrian alliance has given them peace of mind. The two countries have achieved deep **** in their interests, which cannot be untied for a while; on the other hand, India is in front of them, and greed has overcome fear.

Once it has been severely beaten by society and found out that it has not seized the power of India, and the reality has overcome greed, the tsarist government should feel fear.

As a result of fear, it is natural to find someone to hold a group. As for being completely attached to Shinra, that is completely nonsense.

Attachment is a trick played by a small country. Even if a big country can lay down and rush to the past, people can't believe it?

If Britain is finished, then the relationship between the Russian Empire and the Holy Roman Empire is the relationship between the world’s second largest and the world’s largest.

The world’s second child is dependent on the world’s boss, and it is not harmonious in any way.

Since ancient times, the second child has been the target of repression, and there has never been an exception. Why does the tsarist government believe that the Vienna government will be merciful?

Rely on the traditional friendship between the two countries?

Politicians are not idealists. When making choices, their thinking will naturally go to the wrong side. That's why the second child and the third child hug each other and fight against the world's boss.

Frankly speaking, Robert Cecil also has deep doubts about the British and Russian teamwork.

After all, the conflicts between Britain and Russia are equally acute. Even if they are temporarily brought together under pressure from Shinra, it is difficult to truly cooperate closely.

But the reality is cruel. Without France, the gold medalist, Britain's layout on the European continent is missing, and it has fallen into a complete passive strategically.

Regardless of whether the Anglo-Russian alliance is reliable, the British government has no choice. It is better for the two countries to join together to share the pressure than to do it alone.

Now that we see the light, we naturally need to celebrate. But now it is working hours, in order to prevent competitors from grabbing the handle, Robert Cecil can only temporarily suppress the turbulent heart.

"The international situation has finally changed. Before we could make a move, the Russians jumped in. The next question is how to cut them.

Although the Russian Empire is powerful, their ability to invest in the Far East is very limited.

Don't say that the Siberian Railway has not been opened to traffic. Even if it has been opened to traffic, this problematic railway will not support many military operations.

The problem now is that although the Far Eastern Empire has a certain degree of strength, their government is too rotten, and there is no courage to fight the Russians at all.

If you want to hit the Russians hard in the Far East, their family alone is obviously not enough. We must have more chess pieces, and the Japanese can't continue to be idle. "

Facts have proved once again that there will be no pie in the sky for no reason, even if it does fall, it is usually poisonous.

The Central Asian Railway built with the aid of the Vienna government has quality problems; the Siberian Railway, which the British secretly supported, also digs pits.

Maybe it’s not a big problem with normal use. Once the freight volume increases, it will immediately let the tsarist government understand that railways also have a temper.

This is the inevitable result. If it does not set some traps and drags it back in logistics, and it really makes the Russian plan successful, wouldn't the British government shoot itself in the foot?

You know the Far East, but the sphere of influence of Britain. John Bull can't do self-sacrificing things.

Minister of Foreign Affairs Cameron: "Prime Minister, it is too early to start. The Siberian Railway was not opened to traffic, and the power of the Russians could not be projected at all.

Even if the whole army was wiped out, the Russians would not be hurt by the small soldiers in the Far East.

Perhaps seeing the difficulty of moving eastward was too great, the Russians retracted again and picked up the southward strategy again, which would be troublesome.

In order to better lure the enemy, in the short term, we'd better let the tsarist government experience the feeling of victory first. It just so happens that the Far Eastern Empire is now..."

As the saying goes, "I can't bear children, I can't cover wolves." It is estimated that most people will not want to give up their own children; if they change other people's children, there will be no such pressure.

Politically, enemies and friends always said that they would support the Far Eastern Empire and the Russian pk for a moment, and then decisively decided to sacrifice the interests of the Far Eastern Empire to lure the enemy into deep.

It can be seen that Cameron has already learned the essence of British diplomacy. In the shortest time, it demonstrated the professionalism that the British Foreign Minister should have.

Chancellor of the Exchequer Pavel: "The Jazz is right. The Russians are now able to invest in the Far East. The amount is really too small, and there is no weight at all.

The Russians’ eastward advancement strategy not only meant that Vienna’s plan to divert disasters southward would go bankrupt, but also threatened Shinra’s land dominance.

It is impossible for the Vienna government to watch the Russians complete the Yellow Russia plan. Right now, they are the ones who want the Tsarist government to succeed. We don't need to worry at all.

Regardless of whether the Russian-Austrian alliance is still unbreakable, once the Russians’ eastward strategy shows signs of success, the Vienna government will definitely suppress it.

After successfully taking the first step, and then wanting to take the second step, the Russians will find that the whole world is their enemy, especially their closest allies.

At that time, even if the Russian-Austrian League can barely maintain it, it will exist in name only, and our opportunity will come.

But the Russians are not enough. To deal with the Holy Roman Empire, the empire needs more allies. "

When it comes to the word "ally", Prime Minister Robert Cecil has a headache. There is no way, what he took over was the economic prosperity and the mess of diplomacy.

Although his predecessor was considered outstanding among all the prime ministers of Britain, he miscalculated the strength of France and brought Britain to the edge of the cliff.

Remedy, that's just too much thinking. Since the establishment of the European Union, Britain has not had much room for diplomacy.

After working hard for so many years, Britain has no real ally. Japan cannot be counted, it is just an inconspicuous little brother who is not yet qualified to be an ally of Britain.

Right now, apart from the Russian Empire, Robert Cecil doesn't know who to pull, and who can he pull?

"Does the Ministry of Foreign Affairs have any suggestions?"

This kind of complicated matter is better left to professionals, although looking at the bitter face of the Minister of Foreign Affairs, it does not look like...

Foreign Secretary Cameron replied helplessly: "European countries can't count on it. They can remain neutral. That is the result of God's blessing. Our goal can only be in the Americas.

There are many independent countries in the Americas, but few have the strength, and even fewer can be attracted by us.

The most valuable is the United States of America, followed by the Confederate States. Unfortunately, these two are rivals.

If we bring both of them over, it is estimated that we will not have to do anything, and we will specifically adjust the relationship between them.

If you choose one of the two, the other is likely to be pulled over by the enemy. With the diplomatic capabilities of the Vienna government, the probability of such a situation will not be less than 90%.

In addition to a pair of enemies, the remaining countries such as Mexico, Colombia, Argentina, and Chile are also the targets of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs' public relations.

It's just that these countries have one common feature-insufficient strength. It's okay to be politically strong, and it is impossible to expect them to make much contribution.

At most, it can distract the enemy's energy and threaten their colonies in the Americas, which is of limited help to the overall situation. "

Britain also contributed greatly to the opposition between the United States and the Confederacy. From the beginning of the joint intervention of Britain, France and Ossey, it has laid hidden dangers for today's confrontation between the two countries.

When it comes to digging a hole in Britain, it is a professional. France, Austria, and Spain that joined forces together are not idlers.

When the United States was divided between North and South, the four countries as arbiters unanimously planted mines on the delineation of the border.

The political methods are still immature. The leaders of the United States and the Confederacy have obviously not encountered this kind of gameplay. The specific person in charge below is even more daunting, letting the delegations of the four countries participate in the whole process.

The end result was that the North and South governments, which were already full of hatred, had worsened relations after the war because of border problems.

Had it not been for the previous war that was too violent, the national cohesion of the two countries was not strong, and there were still a lot of internal contradictions, it might be another pk.

In fact, if it had not been for the outbreak of internal conflicts among the European powers and relaxation of their instigation of relations between the two countries, the North and South governments might have fought.
