Chapter 137 of the Holy Roman Empire Emperor's Road, the Vienna Conference of the New Vienna System was launched, and delegations from all countries were uniting and showing their magical powers.

Russia and France attempted to divide the remaining land on the Balkans. John Bull, who was left behind, was naturally unwilling to give up and pulled the Ottoman Empire to act like a battle of no means of willingness to fight.

The Russians were fearless in the threats of the British. Anyway, they had the control of Constantinople in their hands and could block the Bosphorus. Once both sides turned against each other, the British naval fleet in the Black Sea would be closed and beaten to the dog.

The bear with a hostage is full of confidence. As a country with 6 powers offends the British, it will offend them. The bear with a huge land and wealth can be spared, and it will be a big deal.

The French government hesitated first. This was not because Napoleon III was afraid of fighting with the British. In fact, it was impossible for both sides to break out of war for this matter.

If the fight really starts, the French Navy will not be able to fight. Perhaps they cannot beat the Royal Navy, but they can still be severely damaged by the Royal Navy.

It is impossible for the London government to bet rashly with such high-risk gambling. It is too easy to explode the navy in the era of sailing warships, and there will be no winners in the result of the two major powers fighting.

The main thing is in terms of interests. Anyone who is a neighbor with a Mao Bear will be afraid of it. Napoleon III wants to get benefits, but he does not want to take risks.

France monopolizes Macedonia, Albania, Thrace, Epirus and other regions, and looks like it is profitable. In fact, after this war, the economy of the Balkans had long collapsed.

War destruction, refugee waves, plagues, and so many things have been added together. The population on the Balkans has decreased by one-third, and the young and strong labor force is even rare.

The Balkan Peninsula, which was originally a piece of fat, has now been depleted. If you want to restore social order, you will have to invest a lot of resources.

Simply put, this profit was no longer enough to make the French take risks. If it were not for political needs, Napoleon III would not have been interested in the territory on the Balkans.

"Everyone, it's not a solution to continue quarrel like this. It's better to divide the sphere of influence and then discuss it!" Metternier suggested

After saying that, he first marked the Austrian control area on the map with a pen, and then handed the map to the Russian representative Karl Vosel.

There is nothing to hesitate. Karl Woesel circled his expected goals on the map. Russia and Austria had agreed that the sphere of influence between the two sides had no borders.

The French followed closely behind and drew out their own sphere of influence. When it was the British's turn, Thomas was stunned.

Good guy, the Three Kingdoms point the map and the Balkans were divided up. Even if there were islands that missed the net, they were in the hands of the Ottoman Empire, and they could not do anything to bully their allies like this.

With a sudden inspiration, Thomas felt that he should do something and not let the enemy do it so easily.

As for the ally of the Ottoman Empire, it is a pity that it can only be sacrificed. It is just that the wishes of all European people, including the British people, cannot go against the current.

"Three, the people on the Balkans have been enslaved by the Ottoman Empire for so many years, and now they have returned to the embrace of the civilized world. We should help them establish their country independently. How can we continue to enslave them?

If such an inhuman thing is born, how will countries around the world view us? How will the international community feel?"

Metternich rolled his eyes and said that the four of them could represent the international community. If it was just one country that made the case, it might be condemned by European countries. The four companies went to the custody together to let everyone shut up.

In this era, there was no one in the world who dared to be enemies with Britain, France, Russia and Austria at the same time. Even if the remaining countries were tied together, they would not be the opponent of these four companies.

"Mr. Thomas is overly worried, how can we enslave the people of the Balkans?

You should know that the people of the Balkans have been under the bloody rule of the Ottoman Empire for a long time, and many people have been poisoned by the barbaric world. We are helping them return to the civilized world.

According to the information we have collected, the cultural heritage on the Balkans has been severely damaged, and the people on the island are either accomplices of the Ottoman Empire's suppression of the people.

Either they are a group of illiterate people or traitors from the civilized world. Isn’t it a joke to let them establish their country independently?

It is still up to our countries to supervise and guide local people back to the civilized world and avoid tragedy and continue to live."

The Black Ottoman Empire was also politically correct. Over the past few hundred years, even the endorsement of barbarism, the Ottoman Empire has been deeply immersed in the hearts of every European.

Of course, the infamous name of the Ottoman Empire is also true. In history, they have really done a lot of things that are angry and resentful. Metternich can find a lot of evidence to prove their barbarity.

If these things are not revealed, then nothing will happen. Once taken out, whether they are born a hundred years ago or two hundred years ago, they are all proof of sin.

No matter what, it cannot be washed away. The moral integrity of the experts in this era has not yet been lost, and they cannot do the work of helping the Ottoman Empire clean the floor.

As a politician, Thomas was even more afraid to defend the Ottomans on this issue, otherwise the British people would not be able to spare him.

Nowadays, people with cultural and knowledge inheritance on the Balkans basically existed in the Ottoman Empire. Even if they did not become traitors, their ancestors also became traitors.

From this perspective, it is barely reasonable to divide these people into remnants of the Ottoman Empire.

Thomas did not entangle here and directly suggested: "Mr. Metternich said it right. If that is the case, then let us help them return to the civilized world.

When they were brought back to the civilized world, they were looking for a suitable time to allow the people on the Balkans to build an independent country and do their part for the civilized world."

After hearing Thomas' proposal, the French representative Auvergne was obviously a little moved, but the Russians' reaction was even more intense.

Karl Woesel slapped the table and said angrily: "This is impossible! The people of the Balkans suffer from tea poisons from the Ottomans. They must be supervised by us to return to the civilized world."

Looking at the furious Carl Voser, Metternich rubbed his forehead. It was obvious that this foreign minister, who was a soldier, had not yet adapted to the role of a diplomat, and he was about to take action if he had a disagreement.

He beat someone up during the negotiations, and it seems that the Russians can really do this.

In order to prevent the negotiations from deteriorating, Metternich had to speak out and immediately questioned Thomas: "There are many ethnic groups in the Balkans, and no unified country has been established since the Byzantine Empire. Mr. Thomas, do you want to rebuild the Byzantine Empire?"

What international jokes are made when rebuilding the Byzantine Empire? The nationalists in Greece just shouted slogans stupidly. Who can tolerate the reconstruction of the Byzantine Empire?

Thomas was questioned and explained without changing his expression: "Mr. Metternich misunderstood that allowing the people of the Balkans to establish a country independently is only to help the local people return to the civilized world.

The Byzantine Empire has long been destroyed, so how could we think about reconstruction?”

Metternier sneered and said, "There is no best, otherwise the world will be uneasy again. I don't think there is any need to discuss the issue of independence and establishment of the people of the Balkans.

People from Serbia, Wallachia, Moldavia, Bosnia and Herzegovina have already become Austrian nationality, and they all have their own motherland!”

The Russian Foreign Minister Karl Woesel, who was inspired, immediately spoke: "We have already given nationality to the people in the Bulgarian and Constantinople, so Mr. Thomas is not worried about it."

Regardless of whether you have nationality or not, this excuse is used first by Carl Woesel, and at worst, you can just turn around and make up for it.

Anyway, no matter how Thomas uses its means, it is impossible for the Austrians and Russians to come out to establish an independent country, which means that both sides will break up.

Continue to attack the French territory? This idea flashed away. Thomas didn't want Russia, France and the Olympics to join forces. Once this combination appeared, they would even be able to resist it even if they were allies in the world.

Should I divide a piece of land in the Balkans? After looking at the map, Thomas decided not to border these 6-rights countries.

Auvergne, who had been paddling, suddenly changed the topic: "The most important thing in the Balkans is the Black Sea Fleet, and most of the international disputes revolve around here.

For the sake of world peace and stability, I propose that international common governance of the Dardanelles, the Bosphorus, and all coastal port cities become free ports, and countries are not allowed to deploy any weapons.

No matter at any time, governments of all countries guarantee free navigation in the straits, no restrictions shall be set, and no navigation tax shall be charged."

After thinking about it, everyone agreed, but Carl Woesel felt a little painful, but considering the actual situation, even if they wanted to charge the to-air fee, they couldn't get it in the end, so he still agreed.

They can collect taxes in the Bosphorus, Britain and France can also collect taxes at the entrance of the Dardanelles. At that time, merchant ships will not dare to pass, and this golden waterway will be destroyed.

To solve the problem of the waterway, Thomas was too lazy to continue to get entangled in the Balkans. Isn’t it a balance between Russia, France and the Austrians sharing the Balkans?

Once the Russians rushed out of the Black Sea, the French would take the brunt, and Austria would also not tolerate the Russians' continued expansion.

Although they did not gain practical benefits in the Near East War, they still succeeded strategically, using the new international order to block the Russians in the Black Sea.

After resolving the issue of the Near Eastern War, Britain, France, Russia and Austria signed the Four-Nation Convention, which redefines the spheres of influence of each country in the form of a treaty.

After the signing of the treaty, the four governments jointly stated that the four will jointly maintain peace and stability in Europe and crack down on any acts that undermine the rules.

With the end of the Vienna Peace Conference, a new international order was established again. In addition to the free navigation of the Black Sea Strait, all countries follow the actual control zone as their scope of interests.

The Ottoman Empire became the biggest loser. Because it did not have the ability to maintain its rule on the Balkans, it had to sell Macedonia, Thrace, Albania, Gallipoli Peninsula and other regions to the French for 200 million francs.

The French and the Ottoman Empire were allies, and they had to pay a sum of money to buy them. Austria and Russia were not polite. As Ottoman enemies, they naturally swallowed the territory they occupied in one bite.

The Principal of Montenegro probably didn't know whether it was a loss or a profit this time. Although it was finally driven back to its hometown by the British, with the support of Russia and Austria, their territory doubled and they successfully took the estuary.

The territory that doubled was actually more than 10,000 square kilometers, and it was not as big as the Principality of Montenegro in later generations. There was no way, who made their local area smaller?

For the more than 5,000 square kilometers, the young and strong people in the Principal of Montenegro lost half of the country. It turned out that the total local population had dropped by 23%. After the newly occupied land, the national population only exceeded 20,000.

The Russian Empire, the biggest winner on the surface, was silently licking the wound at this time. Although he got Constantinople, it was just a superficial scenery.

Both the Bulgaria and Constantinople have been damaged by war and the local economy has collapsed directly.

In particular, the city of Constantinople was directly turned into ruins, and two-thirds of the buildings in the city suffered varying degrees of damage.

Of course, it may be a good thing. It just happened to be demolished and rebuilt, cleared the traces left by the Ottoman Empire, and shaped the glory of the Russian Empire. If finances are not considered, this should be the case.

After taking a look at the casualties, the Russians couldn't laugh. The Russians in the Balkans alone paid the price of 600,000 deaths. In addition to the battlefields of the Crimean Peninsula and the Caucasus battlefield, the total number of Russian soldiers' casualties and disabilities approached 900,000.

If Constantinople hadn't won the political gains to smooth out all this, Nicholas I really wouldn't know how to end it.

Britain and France, who also participated in the battle, did not find any advantage. The French army killed 210,000 people, 45,000 people were injured, 78,000 people were killed and 11,000 people were injured.

This data is added to the losses caused by plague and disease, otherwise this data can be reduced by one third. No matter what, non-combat losses have finally not been fought.

As for the Ottoman Empire, their losses were a mystery. The Sudanese government itself didn't know how to count them. Anyway, the millions of troops they formed were crippled.

The Balkans were lost, and many soldiers were captured and strengthened. If they were broken up, they would really disperse. Don’t expect these people to come back and return to the team.

If you throw apart, the Sudanese government will not care. If you lose it, the core area of ​​the rule will be lost. Why do you have to worry about it if you lose it?
