Qingzhou.
Intelligence from Europe is on Xiao Ming's desk.
Austria withdrew from the European battlefield, Prussia and France truce, officially recognized Henry's rule of France.
In a few months, the situation in Europe has changed more than the weather in summer.
But for Xiao Ming, he didn't care about the change. For him, Henry had achieved his goal.
Prussia and Austria suffered a lot in the war against France, and Henry's army also suffered a lot in the war.
This war made the three land powers in Europe need to build up strength again to fight against the Empire for a period of time.
What the Empire needs now is precisely this window period to strengthen the mechanized construction of the army.
”Prussia recognized Henry's legal status in France. For the Empire, Henry could become the enemy of the Empire at any time, because Henry no longer needed the help of the Empire. " Cui Shangan analyzed.
Xiao Ming nodded, surprised by the sudden change in Prussia, but he could guess the purpose of Felix II.
With Prussia's historical characteristics, his next goal must be Austria and Hungary, which belong to the Holy Roman Empire.
In order to avoid the war with Henry, he is likely to divide Austria with France.
"Henry once promised to recognize the occupation of the Empire in East Indochina, Canada and Tangier, and wanted to test Henry, as long as the messenger was sent to France to sign the agreement. If he chose to shirk, he said Henry was ready to abandon the covenant." Xiao Ming pondered.
"What if Henry is really going to break the covenant?" Cui Shangan asked.
"I never expected Henry to admit it, so during the French Civil War, I took the opportunity to take their colony. No matter whether he admitted it or not, I would not spit out the meat I ate, but if he did not, the Empire could take the opportunity to stop helping him." Xiao Ming said.
After a pause, he said: "Tang Wenjie is responsible for the diplomatic affairs. What you are doing now is military preparation. The Suez Canal has been connected, which provides conditions for the Empire to increase its military presence in Europe. No matter for protecting the Empire's oil interests or opening up the European market by force, the Empire needs to increase its military strength in Suez and Tangier Deployment. I want you to deploy 50000 people here in three years, and build these two places into impregnable military bases of the Empire. "
Cui Shangan nodded. Now the empire is engaged in agricultural construction in the colonies of Africa. With the fertile land of Africa and the Empire's agricultural technology, the manors are reaping a lot.
The food, vegetables and meat in these manors were directly supplied to the military bases of the Empire, which saved the heavy task of transporting supplies from the Empire.
In the past, it was almost impossible for the Empire to deploy 50000 people here, but now it is very easy.
After all, in the industrialized Empire, farms in Africa are also mechanized production, with high efficiency.
”Yes, Emperor. "Yes, Cui Shangan turned and left.
Seeing Cui Shangan leave, Xiao Ming glances at the intelligence documents. In fact, he is not very concerned about the changes in Europe.
For the Empire, the gap between the powers of the two sides is getting bigger and bigger. The reason why he muddled the waters in Europe is to save some energy when he wanted to clean up Europe.
After all, there are many European countries and the situation is complicated. Some countries even change a few times a year. It is unrealistic to focus on supporting someone.
This time, the Empire's use of France is over. The next step for the Empire to cooperate will be Austria.
In short, he will not make Europe so calm.
When he decided to adjust his European policy, Xiao Ming immediately sent a mission to Austria. As he guessed, less than a month after the mission's departure, new changes appeared in Europe. France and Prussia jointly attacked Austria.
On the tenth day of the attack on Austria, the imperial mission arrived in Vienna.
"Beasts, Henry and Felix II are beasts. Austria should not dance with them. "
in the face of Tang Wenjie, Franz angrily denounced the shameless acts of the two countries. Within ten days, Austria was annexed to Poland, and sixteen cities were lost along the southwest border.
After the civil war, the French army was very brave and good at fighting. With the advanced weapons provided by the Empire, the Austrian army was losing.
"It's not too late for your majesty to understand that Henry has also betrayed his covenant with the Empire. "Said Tang Wenjie.
After arriving at the city of Suez established by the Empire on the Mediterranean coast of the Suez Canal, Tang Wenjie first sent people to Paris.
In Paris, his people were treated coldly, and Henry did not appear all the time. Naturally, the treaty was not settled.
I have to say that Henry was very smart in this move. He not only expressed his dissatisfaction with the Empire, but also did not directly deny the original promise.
However, in Tang Wenjie's view, this can be directly defined as Henry's betrayal of the covenant. The Empire will not go around with Henry on this issue, and his performance can only be appreciated by himself.Franz is calm on the surface, but his heart is on the verge of collapse. Facing the two attacks of France and Prussia, Austria will not last long.
He said, "this Henry is so damned. He should be punished like the fire of the Empire."
Tang Wenjie smile, he said: "this time I have been fully authorized by the emperor, now I have ordered the Mediterranean merchant ships to stop transporting goods to France, the evil deeds of France and Prussia destroyed the regional balance of Europe, which is intolerable by the Empire, I think it is also intolerable by his majesty. "
" that's right. " Franz was also smiling. He knew that what Tang Wenjie said was just a scene, that regional balance was bullshit, and that the purpose of the Empire was to suppress Prussia and France.
However, he could only agree now, so he said: "Your Majesty, the emperor of the Empire, is very righteous. Austria is willing to cooperate with the Empire, but now we are facing the attacks of France and Prussia. I'm afraid we don't have much time. "
Tang Wenjie was not worried at all. He took out an agreement and said:" in order to maintain the peace in Europe, we decided to establish the Vienna Convention organization. As long as Austria firmly adhered to the treaty, it was equal to joining the Vienna Convention organization. Since then, the Empire and Austria will become the founders of the Convention organization. "
Franz looked puzzled and said," what's the use of this organization for Austria? "
Tang Wenjie said with a smile," the purpose of the organization is to implement collective defense between Contracting States. Any Contracting State must give assistance, including the use of force, in case of war with other countries. How about it? "
