Chapter 1090: An Excuse for Delivering to the Door
Chapter 1069 – An Excuse to Send to the Door
Fools miss opportunities, wise people are good at seizing opportunities, successful people are good at creating opportunities, and opportunities are only reserved for those who are prepared.
Since you want to withdraw your troops from France, the Tsarist government will not be held back by an “excuse”.
In order to withdraw without causing a backlash from the anti-French allies, there is only one way to go to war. Only if the Russian Empire went to war with a third country would the Tsar’s government have enough reasons to withdraw its troops without being blamed by the other countries.
If you open the map, you will know that the Russian Empire has not many neighbors, Europe is hardcore, the British in South Asia is not easy to mess with, and the only good bully is the east.
Not waiting for the Tsar’s government to find an opportunity to create a pretext for war, someone will send the handle to the door. A “declaration of war” was sent across the ocean to Europe, and the tsarist government took the lead in declaring war without waiting for the European countries to react.
I can’t help it, I’ve seen the death of the death of the death of the death of the death of the death of the death of the death of the death of the death.
Fortunately, this is just a farce, the war book is only internal circulation, not delivered to the hands of the ministers of various countries, does not yet constitute a real war book, or ……
Jurisprudence is not jurisprudence is not important, anyway, the Russians want just a pretext to play, the Far Eastern Empire and happen to deliver their own door.
Whether to fight or not, exactly how to fight, fight to that point, it is estimated that the tsarist government has not yet been clear internally.
The things that follow do not need to be said to know, anyway, the Far Eastern Empire this time is going to be bad luck. The Russians took the lead, the British naturally will not be idle, the Japanese, not to mention.
Butterfly effect, tossed out Italy, Germany, Austria and murder three countries, the United States was divided into two, in the end, will come up with a few countries allied forces, this question is probably can only ask God.
……
New Foreign Minister Leo Frankel: “Your Majesty, yesterday afternoon the Tsarist government declared war on the Far Eastern Empire and also sent us an invitation ……”
Without waiting for the Foreign Minister to finish his sentence, Franz interrupted, “Reject them outright. The international situation is changing, and there is no chance that one day we will be at war with the British.
The Empire does not have the strength to fight with the British in the Far East, and distracting ourselves into the Far East Empire at this time is not what a wise man would do.
Keep a close eye on the Czarist government’s next move, and if they’re going to withdraw their troops from France, make sure to stall them for two months to buy time for the formation of a peacekeeping force.”
The reasoning was a bit far-fetched, but it was true that Shinra’s strategic core was not in East Asia. Such a densely populated region was also not a target for Shinra’s expansion.
In comparison, the importance of France was much higher. Regardless of how dilapidated the current France was, given the glorious history of the French, the Vienna government up and down the country still did not dare to take it lightly.
“Your Majesty, the Tsar’s government has announced plans for withdrawal. The Russians have decided to pull 220,000 troops from France under the pretext of war needs.
After the plan is implemented, the total number of Russian troops in France will drop from the current 270,000 to 50,000 troops.
We have received the diplomatic note, and the Allied Command is expected to receive it soon, and we are now waiting for its realization.
Of course, if we ask for a two-month suspension of the withdrawal, the Czarist government should give it face.”
Foreign Minister Leo Frankel reminded slightly awkwardly.
The war had provided the Tsarist government with an excuse to withdraw its troops. The fact that it didn’t withdraw all of its non-troops at once was presumably because the tsarist government still wanted to hang around in the Anti-French Alliance and wasn’t prepared to take things to the extreme.
Since it does not want to do things to the end, the Vienna government asked the Russian army to suspend the withdrawal for two months, naturally not a problem.
In any case, it was still more than 200,000 troops. If they wanted to withdraw such a large number of personnel and weaponry from France to the Russian Empire, without the cooperation of Shinra, the Tsarist government wouldn’t be able to manage it for a year and a half.
For the Holy Roman Empire, it was obviously a good thing that the Russian army hadn’t all withdrawn.
The dirty work that can’t be seen in the light always needs to be done by someone. As long as the money is given enough, the Russian officers and soldiers are not afraid to take the blame.
With this professional backstabbing team, it is very helpful to maintain the international image of the Holy Roman Empire.
Franz didn’t think that by leaving the Russian army, the French would welcome the arrival of the Holy Roman army. Even though the military discipline of the Holy Roman army might be better, the hundreds of years of feud between the two countries could not be resolved overnight.
No need to think about Franz also know that by then, “old sesame seeds, rotten grain” broken things, will be rehashed.
Even if the French do not care, the British will help them wake up the sleeping hatred, provoking conflict.
History has proved that hatred is not a problem that can be solved by softness alone, and most of the time it is more reliable to use the bayonet.
Franz does not dare to hope that he can win the hearts and minds of the people in France. As long as the situation can be stabilized, so that the French do not in the next hegemony struggle, jump out to give themselves trouble on the line.
……
London.
The resurgence of storm clouds in the Far East was definitely a good thing for the British government. After receiving this happy news, Prime Minister Robert Cecil’s entire body was refreshed.
It wasn’t easy, except for the first day he ascended to the throne of Prime Minister, he had never been so happy for the rest of the time.
There was no way around it, the international situation was just too unfriendly to Britain. Looking across the strait at the European Union, Robert Cecil could do nothing but sigh, or just sigh.
After going through all the trouble of calculating, that only increased the time for Shinra to integrate the European continent, and didn’t solve the problem from the root.
Have to recognize the power of geopolitics, as an epochal European hegemony, God Luo as long as it is not a mass defection, the European countries must rely on the past.
This is no longer a question of interest or not, but a more central question of survival. In the cruel international competition, small countries have no choice but to cling to the strong.
Of course, these wallflowers are just a small trouble, follow the flag waving and shouting still make do, can play the actual value is still very limited.
The real worry of Britain is still the Russian-Australian alliance, do not deal with this ace combination, the future of Britain will have to fight in the sea and God Luo, on land and the Russian-Australian alliance to fight.
The sea Robert Cecil Prime Minister does not goad, the Royal Navy alone does not fear anyone; land on the tragedy, that is truly can not afford to hurt.
Now there is finally a throwback, no matter what the Russians for whatever reason eastward, have eased the pressure of Britain in the Indian region.
In order to defend India, these British government did not put in a lot of effort. Not only did they put blood money into training the colonial army, even the fallen Persia was subsidized by Britannia.
Do not expect the Persians to be able to do anything, as long as the Persian Empire can hold out a little longer, do not let the Shinra army pushed all the way to India on the line.
National strategy is never easy to set, since the tsarist government chose to beat up the Far East Empire at this time, then the Russians’ eastward strategy is basically a nail in the coffin.
The next question was how to hit the Russians hard in the east, get rid of the problem of fighting on multiple fronts, and then break the Russo-Austrian alliance, and ultimately pull the Russians to their side.
The plan was a bit complicated and difficult to implement, and the success rate was still a bit low.
But a plan is better than no plan at all. At this point in time, Britain wants to continue the hegemony, but also the only way to draw the Russians this road.
The Russian Empire in its heyday is obviously unable to pull. People are looking at India drooling, Robert Cecil also dare not seek skin with the hairy bear.
In this context, weakening the Russians a little, so that the Tsarist government to create a sense of crisis, that is very necessary.
Pretty much the same formula as in the original time period. Before the Russo-Japanese War, the British-Russian conflict was acute, and German-Russian relations were still very good; after the war, German-Russian relations deteriorated rapidly, but instead, the British-Russian conflict eased.
Despite the French mediation, the underlying reason is that the tsarist government felt the threat of the Germans. Otherwise, loans alone were not enough to bring the Tsarist government to its knees.
After all, it is not a new thing to not pay your debts. If the ancestors could do it, why couldn’t Nicholas II do it?
Right now, not to mention, from the successive tsars want to get rid of the dependence on Vienna can be seen, the Russians that is real feel the pressure.
Relations between the two countries can be maintained, on the one hand, the Russian-Australian alliance to let them rest assured that the two countries in the interests of the realization of the depth of the bundle, a moment can not be dissolved; on the other hand, India is close at hand, greed overcomes the fear.
Once they were beaten by the society and realized that they did not have the strength to take over India, and reality overcame greed, the Tsarist government should have felt fear.
The natural result of fear is to look for people to embrace. As for complete dependence on Godroe, that’s total bullshit.
Attachment is a trick that small countries play, even if a big country can put down its stature and defect to the past, people do not dare to 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 best and the world’s largest.
The relationship between the world’s oldest and the world’s oldest is the relationship between the world’s second and the world’s oldest.
Since ancient times the second is the object of suppression, and there has never been an exception, what makes the Czarist government believe that the government of Vienna will be merciful?
Why did the Czarist government believe that the Vienna government would be merciful?
Politicians are not idealists, and when they make choices, their minds naturally go to the bad side. That’s why there is the story of the second and the third grouping together to fight against the world’s leader.
Frankly, Robert Cecil is equally deeply skeptical about Britain and Russia joining forces.
After all, the contradictions between Britain and Russia were equally sharp, and even if they had temporarily come together under the pressure of Shinra, it would be difficult for them to truly work together intimately.
But the reality is cruel, less France this gold medal fighter, Britain in the European continent on the layout is missing a piece, in the strategy has fallen into a comprehensive passive.
Regardless of whether the British-Russian alliance is reliable, the British government has no choice. The two countries embrace together to share the pressure, always better than their own family to do it alone.
Now that we have seen the light, we naturally need to celebrate. But it was now in the middle of office hours, and in order not to let his rivals catch a hold of him, Robert Cecil could only suppress that tumultuous heart for the time being.
“The international situation has finally taken a turn for the worse, and the Russians jumped in on their own before we had a chance to strike. The next question is how to chip them.
Although the Russian Empire is powerful, the forces they can put into the Far East are very limited.
Not to mention the fact that the Siberian Railway is not open to traffic now, even if it is already open to traffic, this problematic railroad, will not be able to support many armies in combat.
The problem now was that although the Far Eastern Empire had some strength, their government was so corrupt that they simply did not have the courage to fight the Russians.
To hit the Russians hard in the Far East, it’s obvious that they alone are not enough, we have to have more pawns, and the Japanese can’t remain idle.”
Once again, the facts proved that pies don’t fall from the sky for no reason, and even if they do fall, they are usually poisoned.
The Central Asian Railway, which was built with the aid of the Vienna government, had quality problems; the Siberian Railway, which was secretly supported by the British, likewise had no less pitfalls to dig.
Perhaps the ordinary use of the problem is not big, once the amount of freight increased, will immediately let the tsarist government understand that the railroad also has a temper.
This is the inevitable result. If we don’t set up some traps and drag our feet logistically, and really let the Russians succeed in their plan, then the British government will have lifted a stone and smashed its own foot, won’t it?
The Far East is Britain’s sphere of influence. John Bull can’t do anything that would sacrifice himself for others.
Foreign Secretary Cameron: “Prime Minister, it’s still a little too early to make a move. Without the Siberian Railway in operation, the Russians simply can’t project their power.
Just the few stragglers in the Far East, even if they were all wiped out, would not hurt the Russians.
Perhaps if they saw that it was too difficult to advance eastward, the Russians would shrink back and pick up the southward strategy again, and that would be a problem.
In order to better bait the enemy, in the short term we’d better let the Tsarist government experience a sense of victory first. It just so happens that the Far Eastern Empire is now …… again.”
As the saying goes, “If you can’t spare the children, you can’t spare the wolves”. To give up one’s own child, I guess most people would be reluctant; if it were someone else’s child, there would be no such pressure.
The political enemy and friend is always in a moment, just said to support the Far Eastern Empire and the Russians pk, turn a moment and decisively decided to sacrifice the interests of the Far Eastern Empire to lure the enemy into the depths.
It can be seen that Cameron has deeply mumbled the essence of British diplomacy. In the shortest possible time, he demonstrated the professionalism that a British foreign minister should have.
Chancellor of the Exchequer Pavel: “Sir is right, the amount of force that the Russians are now able to put into the Far East is indeed too small to carry any weight at all.
The Russians’ strategy of moving eastward not only means that Vienna’s plan of drawing the scourge southward is bankrupt, but it also threatens Shinra’s position as a land hegemon.
It is impossible for the Vienna government to watch the Russians complete their Yellow Russia plan, and right now the last ones who want the Tsarist government to succeed are them, and we don’t have to rush at all right now.
Regardless of whether the Russo-Austrian alliance remained unbreakable, once the Russians’ eastward strategy showed signs of success, the Vienna government was bound to step in to suppress it.
Having succeeded in the first step, and wanting to take the second, the Russians will realize that the whole world is their enemy, especially when there are their closest allies in it.
By that time, even if the Russian-Austrian alliance can barely be maintained, it will exist in name only, and our opportunity will come.
But the Russians alone aren’t enough, to deal with the Holy Roman Empire, the Empire needs more allies.”
At the mention of the word “allies”, Prime Minister Robert Cecil had a headache. There was no way around it, what he had taken over was an economic boom and a diplomatic mess.
Although his predecessor, among all the prime ministers of Britain, was considered to be outstanding, he had brought Britain to the edge of the cliff because he had misjudged the strength of France.
The remedy, that was entirely overthought. From the inception of the Continental Union, Britain’s leeway to exercise diplomacy was not great.
After so many years of trying, Britain didn’t even have a real ally. Japan can’t be counted, that’s just an insignificant little brother that doesn’t qualify as an ally of Britain yet.
Right now, apart from the Russian Empire, Robert Cecil didn’t even know who to pull, and who he could pull?
“Does the Foreign Office have any suggestions?”
It’s better to leave such complicated matters to the professionals, although looking at the Foreign Secretary’s bitter face, it doesn’t look like ……
Foreign Secretary Cameron helplessly replied, “The European countries can’t be counted on, it’s all a result of God’s blessing that they can remain neutral, and our goal can only be placed in the Americas.
There are a lot of independent countries in the Americas, but there are not many that have the strength, and even fewer that can be drawn in by us.
The one with the most value is naturally the United States of America, followed by the Confederate States, but unfortunately these two are bitter rivals.
If we were to bring these two countries together, I guess we wouldn’t have to do anything but specialize in regulating the relationship between them.
In the case of the second choice, the other one is likely to be pulled over by the enemy. Given the diplomatic skills of the Vienna government, the probability of this happening would not be less than ninety percent.
In addition to the pair of enemies, the remaining countries, such as Mexico, Colombia, Argentina, and Chile, are also the target of the foreign ministry’s public relations.
Only these countries have a common characteristic – insufficient strength. It’s okay to make a political statement, but it’s impossible to expect them to make much of a contribution.
At most, they can distract the enemy and threaten their colonies in the Americas, with limited help to the big picture.”
Britain also took credit for the confrontation between the United States and the Confederacy. From the beginning of the joint intervention of Britain, France, and Austria and West, it laid the groundwork for today’s confrontation between the two countries.
On the subject of digging a hole Britain is a professional, and France, Austria, and Spain, who joined forces together back then, were not idle either.
When the United States North-South split, as the arbiter of the four countries coincidentally buried mines in the border line demarcation.
Political means are still young United States and Union leaders, obviously did not encounter this kind of play, the following specific person in charge of the more confused, the whole process to let the four delegations involved.
The end result was that the already hateful governments of the North and South saw their post-war relations deteriorate even further because of the border issue.
If it wasn’t for the fact that the previous war had been fought too harshly, the national cohesion of the two countries was not strong, and there were still a whole lot of internal conflicts, there was no chance that it would come back for a second PK.
In fact, if it were not for the outbreak of internal conflicts among the European powers and the relaxation of the provocation of the relationship between the two countries, the North and South governments would have already fought.
