Chapter 1115： Crazy thrill

The deteriorating situation has pushed Britain to the edge of the cliff. It's like a flying antelope, the more it passes through the sky, the less it passes, it will be broken.

Although the anti-war public opinion turmoil in the European world has not yet subsided, this does not affect the standing of governments of various countries.

Choosing between the Holy Roman Empire and Britain, there is nothing wrong with supporting Shinra. Even if there is a referendum, the final outcome will not change.

Anyway, it's just support now, not immediately sending troops to join the war. The war has not broken out yet, and governments of various countries still have time to guide public opinion.

To do this is also very simple, just look through the history books, which have reasons to beat the British.

What's more, even if a war breaks out, countries will follow suit with soy sauce, and there is no need for everyone to explode.

The times are developing and technology is advancing. To deal with Britain, even if the Vienna government is looking for cannon fodder, it is not an ordinary country that is qualified to participate.

Except for the Russians to participate in land warfare, even if other countries want to participate, the Vienna government will think they get in the way.

Not to mention naval battles. If the Shenra Navy cannot win, plus the fleets of various countries, it will still not win.

The advent of the dreadnought era has completely opened the ranks among naval powers. The participation of thousands of tons of iron armored ships has no practical significance except to increase the enemy's record.

Even if you need to fight for the number, at least more than 10,000 tons of battleships, it makes sense to participate.

In particular, the navies of various countries are also distributed in different regions. Except for the countries along the Mediterranean, the fleets of other countries cannot be assembled at all for a while.

Moreover, the British are not fools, and it is impossible to give the anti-British alliance time to gather people. Back in those days, the Royal Navy defeated the invincible fleet by killing elephants with ants. It was impossible not to learn lessons.

Of course, even if the navies of various countries are not assembled, it is a threat to the British.

Fortunately, the Anti-British League is not monolithic. Otherwise, even if the Royal Navy is more powerful, it will be exhausted now.

What countries can really participate in is probably to send a few aircraft symbolically to participate in the war against Britain.

Otherwise, it is bad luck, and the mainland and colonies are reduced to battlefields and forced to fight; or in the later stage of the war, landing operations on the British Isles can be brought up to beat down dogs.

In fact, the greatest significance of countries participating in the anti-British alliance is not in the military, but in their political and economic contributions.

After the establishment of the alliance, Britain will face the entire European continent. The gap in economic and industrial strength between the two sides has been directly opened four or five times.

Apart from other things, it is obvious just by looking at the manufacture of warships. As long as the Vienna government provides certain technical support, shipyards in Spain, the Netherlands, Portugal and other countries can also build super battleships.

No matter how the veteran naval empire declines, a rotten ship will cost three pounds. At least the domestic shipbuilding industry system has been retained, and there are also some talent pools.

These are all resources, but it is a little troublesome to integrate and utilize them. But these are all minor issues. As long as the interests are negotiated, there is nothing to be done.

In fact, the Vienna government has already started. It doesn’t matter what kind of technology spreads and does not spread.

As long as the Royal Navy is defeated, it doesn't matter if the shipbuilding technology is bad. Anyway, the navy must not only fight for technology, but also for financial resources.

For example, the Russian Empire, a good ally of the Vienna government, is a typical representative.

They have also done more than once or twice about importing technology from Shinra. In the end, they were either cheated by the domestic bureaucrats or dragged down by poor government finances.

Other countries are not much better, even if they are wealthy, the funds that can be invested in armaments are very limited because of their size.

What's more, I really think that developing the navy requires only money and technology? If it is so simple, the future Middle East is not a naval power.

Maybe the Navy can do this in the first half, but in the second half, various tests will come. Without a supporting industrial system, even the veteran naval power can only shed tears.

The sudden change of the international situation has completely confused the British, and the people are even more overwhelmed.

Ordinary people can't keep up with the rhythm, experts and scholars are also confused and don't know what happened.

The arm is not over the thigh, and everyone can understand the next team. But such a fast and neat lineup is a little overwhelming.

"Premeditated collusion"?

This statement is almost the same to fool the ordinary people. Anyone who knows a little bit of politics knows that it is almost impossible to coordinate a dozen countries at the same time to avoid leaks.

For no other reason, there are pro-Shen Luo factions in the governments of various countries, as well as pro-British factions.

Even in dictatorships, when faced with such a big team, they need to be discussed.

Even if it is a small-scale discussion, more than a dozen people from each country participate, and there are hundreds of insiders.

No matter what the secret is, as long as there are more people know, it is not a secret.

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and you can't expect all insiders to be tight-lipped, especially when interests are involved.

With so many insiders, there are always several spokespersons for interest groups. Knowing the news in advance is a big business opportunity.

Whether it is hoarding in advance, speculating on crop prices, or buying or selling off war-affected assets, the futures market and the stock market will show signs in advance.

Whenever there is a big movement anywhere, it is a flaw, which will naturally arouse the vigilance of the British.

How to operate, without leaving any omissions, to complete a series of European countries, has become a common concern of the world.

...

There is no answer to the suspicions of the outside world. Because there is no answer at all, there is no such thing as a hook-up in advance from the beginning to the end.

Although the "Neutral Movement" was first called out by the Dutch, it was the Vienna government that pushed the movement to its climax.

If there is no indication from the Vienna government, why would Belgium, Sardinia, Lucca... these small peasant countries dare to participate?

Don't say it's the outside world, even many of the parties involved were confused after receiving the signal.

Although I don't know what kind of medicine is sold in the boss's gourd, but the things ordered, still have to be done.

The reasons are readily available, whether it is for national interests or personal political interests, everyone has a good reason to fight against the war.

The pro-Austrian faction became the anti-war faction, which naturally attracted the attention of the British, and even some guys even stabbed the news to the British.

The sight of the British government was indeed attracted, but they couldn't understand it. This is not the first time that a similar operation by the Vienna government has occurred.

For decades of old cases, there are still no motives analyzed. Some people even suspect that there is no so-called motive at all. It is entirely because the brain of the Vienna government has suddenly flooded.

This explanation is the most reasonable, because governments all over the world have their brains flooded. The British government itself is one of the best. Every few years, a strange government will appear, doing all the tricks that people can't understand.

The Vienna government contributed to the neutrality movement and fell in the eyes of the British bureaucrats. This is the domestic opposition that is trying to prevent this war.

This is a personal experience. Every time Britain wants to initiate a war, there are a bunch of anti-war factions. The difference lies in the magnitude of the movement.

The British can ignore it, but the European governments as the parties cannot ignore it. After personally participating in the "neutrality movement", everyone realized how unreliable this thing is.

Regardless of how loud the slogans are shouted, once a specific thing is involved, it will be bad.

It was agreed to form a "neutral alliance" and jointly bear the pressure from the two hegemons. As a result, at the last moment, there was no country willing to take the lead.

The Russian Empire, which everyone had high hopes for, ended up saying: "We have the "Russian-Austrian League." Most of the terms in the Neutral League conflict with the content of the Russian-Austrian League and cannot participate in the contract."

If this does not make everyone sober, then the performance of the following countries will be really hopeless.

After the Russian Empire, Spain is qualified to organize everyone to form a "neutral alliance".

It is a pity that the Spanish government is also sloppy and moved out of the ancient "Oce Port Agreement."

The specific content has not been disclosed to the public, so that everyone can refer to the performance of the Vienna government in the Philippine War. Anyway, a neutral movement can be launched, and it can even help provide a meeting place, but it is not enough to lead the conclusion of the alliance.

Large countries with weight, because of their own capabilities, cannot organize contracts, so they can only be small countries.

With the idea of ​​giving it a try, everyone launched the Netherlands again. Although their own strength is not enough, as the initiator of the neutral movement, it is justified to be organized by them.

Unfortunately, the Dutch government is not stupid either. Spain and Russia are two big countries that are unwilling to be the first. What qualifications do they have for this small country to take the lead?

I really thought it was a good time to take the lead, but this thing is going to pull hatred, and it must be revenge from the Holy Roman Empire afterwards.

Just like the eighteenth princes begging for Dong, Yuan Shao became the leader, and the powerful Yuan family was first taken out to sacrifice the flag.

Realizing that neutrality is unreliable, you can only stand on the field. Anyway, you have to stand in line, why not sell yourself for a good price?

It is meaningless to talk about terms now. No matter how many promises are made, it is a bad check. Whether it can be cashed in the end and how much it can cash depends on the Vienna government.

Based on the experience of the anti-French war, everyone understands the rules of the Vienna government for dividing the spoils. To sum it up, the more contributions are taken, and the ones who stand first take more.

Of course, everyone still has to consider the British reaction. The Royal is still very strong, no one can guarantee that this time they will be able to pull Britain down.

In this context, the first team to stand must be the most hated, and the future will definitely suffer the most violent revenge.

Even with the Holy Roman Empire, not every country has the ability to withstand the backlash.

Fortunately, the hard-skinned Russians were not afraid of British reprisals, and the Tsarist government took the lead to stand in line to help everyone solve this trouble.

The first one is that countries are afraid to grab, and the second is that everyone grabs it together. Countries are both accidental and inevitable, and they unwittingly created an unsolved mystery in the world.

It is impossible to explain, so if you are misunderstood, you will be misunderstood. It is also a good choice to let the British fall in depression.

Perhaps in the past few decades, this will become a strong evidence for his "son of heaven", "the man of heaven," and "the choice of God"... of Emperor Franz the Great.

In fact, similar claims have long been put forward. Especially religious people, early affirmed that Franz was "a person favored by God."

The reason is very simple. The Holy Land was recovered from the pagans and God's favor was given.

The restoration of the Holy Roman Empire was also interpreted by them as the result of God's favor. Including the decline of France, religious figures also gave a powerful explanation: colluding with infidels was punished by God.

If this theory is fulfilled, then it will be Britain's turn to be unlucky. But thinking about it the other way round, once Britain declined, it once again confirmed this theory.

If the British resisted this shock, they would probably say that it was a test of God. As long as you can firmly believe, you will surely win the next time.

No problem, no matter how solid the British Empire is, it can't change the nature of being left behind.

It is already very awesome if it can survive the challenge once; for the second time, Britain definitely cannot afford it.

I have to admit that the magic stick is still level. Regardless of how the situation develops, they all have a reasonable explanation.

...

Putting down the newspaper in his hand and looking at the falling snow outside the window, Franz asked with his back to his son: "Have the British declared war yet?"

Although the later the war broke out, the better it was for the Holy Roman Empire. However, the anti-British alliance is about to be assembled, and the British villain is still reluctant to appear on the stage. This is so embarrassing.

If it were not for throwing the blame for the war on the British, Franz would want to declare war on the British first, so as not to wait and panic.

"not yet."

It can be seen from Frederick’s helpless expression that this is not the first time Franz has asked. Perhaps because of his old age, Franz's temperament became more and more elusive.

After a pause, Frederick continued to explain: "According to the information we received, the British Parliament is still arguing.

In the meeting yesterday morning, the dispute between two congressmen even escalated into a large group. A total of three congressmen were hospitalized because of their injuries.

It is said that King Edward VII, who was on the scene after hearing the news, was still furious in the parliament, and warned that if there is a fight again, he will be deprived of his membership.

Presumably, it was frightened by the reaction of European countries. The momentum of the British protagonist has recently dropped a lot. "

Unlike later generations of parliamentarians who dare to grab the Queen's scepter, the British kings still have real power these days. The dismissal of members is something that the king can't even think of, it is possible this year.

Of course, it is only possible. If you really want to do this, it is estimated that it will be targeted by the parliament.

The main reason is that Britain has too few legal provisions to restrict the behavior of parliamentarians. According to normal rules and regulations, it is difficult to restrict them.

There is no way, the law must be approved by others before it can be passed. Naturally, laws that regulate and restrict one's own behavior cannot be passed.

In contrast, the Holy Roman Empire is much better. Franz took action early, and there are a lot of laws restricting the behavior of parliamentarians.

Even in the revision and repeal of related laws and regulations, lawmakers must avoid suspicion and have no right to participate.

If it happened in Shinra, the MPs who participated in the fight would not only lose their status as MPs, but also go to prison to reflect.

Deliberately provoking troubles, gathering people to fight, and disturbing parliamentary order are not within the scope of legal immunity.

However, these small issues are not part of Franz's focus now, and it is the decline of the British protagonist that attracted his attention.

The Victorian British Empire was not a soft-footed shrimp. Confrontation with the European continent has not happened, because it is "frightened" to stop, obviously not convincing.

Although the regular troops of the Holy Roman Empire did not move, fighting has indeed begun on the African battlefield.

"Civilian armed conflict", this is what the Vienna government dares to say.

Whether it is weapons and equipment, the military quality of the personnel involved, and the scale of the conflict, they are not what a "civilian armed conflict" should have.

Besides, this is just the beginning. As time goes by, the number of people involved in conflicts is still increasing.

After a moment of contemplation, Franz turned around and said indifferently: "Since the British don't move, then stimulate them again.

Invite European governments to hold an anti-British meeting in Vienna next month to discuss..."
