After the news of the end of the Warsaw Battle spread, the whole of Europe was in full swing. Newspapers vacate the publication to publish the news.

You should know that the Pudong Army only created the "Warsaw Victory" not long ago. The uninformed people always thought that the Pudong Army had the upper hand in the Warsaw area. Such an amazing turning point is really unacceptable.

Especially for speculators who buy Popo Federal War bonds, it is even more difficult to accept this cruel reality.

There have been protesters on the streets of London, and the angry people on the stock exchange surrounded three floors, three floors outside, and many floors in the middle.

"Being cheated", we naturally have to seek justice. Only a small number of these people bought from the beginning, and most of them were high-level buyers who were fooled on board the ship later.

After the Prussian army won the "Warsaw Victory", British media were optimistic that the Prussian Federation won the war, and the war bonds issued by the Berlin government rose sharply.

Facts have proved that capitalists are not easy to take advantage of. If the Popo Federation is about to win the war, how could they leave?

In addition to a few front-line staff, the company executives have long known where they went.

"Smash it!"

I don’t know who shouted, and the speculators who were blinded by anger broke through the interception of the security personnel and began to vent their feelings. The remaining several unlucky staff members became scapegoats and were tragically ravaged by everyone.

Fortunately, the stock exchange is a key defense area for London police. The atrocities of Kalmaca Securities Company were quickly stopped by inquiries.

This is just a microcosm. Against the backdrop of the departure of capital tycoons, not only the securities market has suffered heavy damage, but the stock market is also hard to escape.

There is no doubt that the bank that undertakes Pubo federal loans has become the hardest hit by this storm, and its stock price has been falling sharply.

Before the Popo Federation was defeated, London was in chaos. The British government is still very capable of executing this year. Prime Minister Benjamin held a press conference as soon as possible to calm people's hearts.

The general meaning is: Don’t worry about the creditors, the London government will find ways to protect the Berlin government, and the bonds in everyone’s hands will not turn into waste paper.

If you want to interpret it in depth, it can also be understood as: the creditor is still there, but he is very poor now, and you will know when he can pay back the money.

As for war bonds, it is definitely impossible to repay them immediately. The shortest time is three to five years later, and it will be normal after more than ten or twenty years.

By then, the British government would have changed its term long ago, and it would be a matter for the government to worry about it later. Prime Minister Benjamin doesn't mind writing a blank check first.

However, the British Foreign Ministry has accelerated its pace of action and continued to lobby European countries to intervene in the Prussian-Russian war. So far, there have been: Portugal, the Netherlands, and Belgium that have agreed to the London government's proposal for a ceasefire.

...

Not long ago, the Austrian government also received an invitation to mediate the Berlin government. Franz was hesitating. With the end of the Battle of Warsaw, things could no longer be delayed.

"We can't wait like this anymore. The Prussian-Russian War is about to end. We must take action, otherwise the situation will be out of control." Foreign Minister Wesenberg proposed

It is indeed about to lose control. If the Tsarist government really swallowed the Kingdom of Prussia, it would be difficult for them to vomit it out.

With the current international situation, the Tsarist government is likely to use Austrian nationalism to pay off the territory of the Kingdom of Prussia and to put the Vienna government on fire.

What's even more tragic is that the Russians did this. The Vienna government not only had to swallow the bitter fruit itself, but also had to thank them, at least on the surface.

What is the Kingdom of Prussia now?

The answer is - debt!

Austria now accepts the Prussian Kingdom. Not only can the money lent to the Russians cannot be collected, but it may also make up for the Tsarist government.

Not only that, the Berlin government owed huge debts and was definitely unable to repay them after the war. Now taking over the Kingdom of Prussia also means taking over huge debts.

In addition to debt, post-war economic reconstruction also requires a lot of money. There is no doubt that the Berlin government cannot afford it, and the central government must provide a guarantee.

This is just economic and political trouble. If the diplomatic work is not done well, it will be targeted by the public.

Even though he knew it was a mess and Austria was not a sucker, it was naturally impossible to take over at this time.

Interference became the best choice. As long as the Russians were not allowed to occupy the Kingdom of Prussia, the subsequent troubles naturally did not exist.

No matter how many debts or the difficulties are, the Berlin government is responsible for it. If you really can't afford to pay back the money, you can still pay the debt. Anyway, there is no unity, and it will not affect Austria's credibility.

"It's still too early. The strength of the Popo Federation still exists. It must be consumed by Russians, otherwise it will be a big trouble in the future." Prime Minister Felix opposed

As the leader of Great Germanism, Prime Minister Felix has always put the unification of the German region first. The Prussian Kingdom has strong military strength, which is obviously not conducive to national reunification.

Foreign Minister Wesenberg reminded: "Prime Minister, our first national policy is to localize Africa, and the unification of the German region can only rank second.

So far, our African strategy has been completed most of the time, except for Egypt occupied by France, there is only one half-dead Ottoman Empire.

It is urgent to stabilize the European continent as soon as possible, establish a new international order, and find opportunities to resolve the Ottoman Empire first."

There are actually many national policies in Austria, but with the development of time, there are only two left now.

For example, the original Near East strategy became a part of the African strategy with the decline of the Ottoman Empire.

This was also forced out. After Africa was localized, its connection with the local area became the top priority. It is indeed very convenient to go by sea, but unfortunately, security was not guaranteed in the war era.

The Royal Navy has too great advantages, and the Austrian Navy is incomparable. Not to mention chasing the British in a short time, even the French Navy has overwhelmed the Austrian Navy.

Since it is not possible at sea, we can only find a way on land. Most parts of the Middle East have fallen into the hands of Austria, and the Vienna government wants to connect its homeland and Africa, with the only obstacles that are in the central region, French Egypt and the Ottoman Empire.

The rice must be eaten at a bite. The French are not weak, and the Vienna government has no intention of attacking Egypt for the time being, but this weak chicken in the Ottoman Empire is tragic.

Prime Minister Felix nodded and shook his head again: "Our core strategy is indigenous African integration, but this is not inconsistent with the German unification plan.

We have the opportunity to resolve the Ottoman Empire. After the Prussian-Russian War, the Tsarist government will remain stable for a long time and have no energy to compete with us in the Near East.

It can be said that in the next decade, we will be the dominant force on the Ottoman Empire, and the Russians will not stop us from extending the railway to the Suez Canal.

On the contrary, the Kingdom of Prussia is even more troublesome. We cannot do it ourselves. If we don’t solve them now, it will be difficult to find opportunities in the future.”

It is not easy to be a boss, especially the boss who cares about his own image. Even if the German region is split, everyone still recognizes Austria's leadership. The core reason is that the Vienna government has been operating its own image for decades.

The good reputation that was finally created could not be destroyed in the civil war. Especially for Emperor Franz, he would rather make the German region unable to be unified than smash his own sign.

Otherwise, you will be embarrassed to find that the country has finally been unified and your own throne will be gone.

There are many similar cases. Franz does not think that his descendants are all awesome owners and can live in a place.

If you don’t want to cause hatred, the best way is to make less blood in the process of German unification. Even if you really want to bleed, you must first find a scapegoat.

In this regard, the Russians are really good ally of Austria. The Ottoman Empire, the nemesis in the south, was killed by Russia and Austria, and the ambitious Prussian Kingdom in the north is being punished by the Tsarist government.

Every time there is a conflict of interest between Russia and Austria, as long as you think about the contributions of the Tsarist government, Franz's mentality will be calm all of a sudden.

It doesn’t matter whether the money is not money, it is mainly for the friendship between Russia and Austria. Haven’t you seen the last time the Tsarist government announced a debt default, and the Austrian government did not go crazy.

Franz interrupted the two quarrel: "Mediation of the Prussian-Russian war can be slowed down first, and send people to test the bottom line of the Tsarist government.

If they intend to pay the Prussian Kingdom and want to put us on fire, they will immediately cooperate with the British and interfere in the war.

Apart from that, everything else is easy to discuss. A weak, even divided Prussia is the best Prussia.

As long as it is not too much, we can abide by the Tsarist government to annex part of the land of the Kingdom of Prussia. As long as it does not involve the German region, everything else is easy to discuss."

The thugs have to play fees, let alone Russians? Fortunately, they fought all the way, paying millions of casualties from soldiers, and being heavily in debt, they must have some rewards.

In Franz's view, the Prussian Kingdom has been doing too well in recent decades and has become obsessed with it. It is necessary to crack down on this situation.

If you don’t kill one to warn a hundred, what should you do if the German country is later?

For example: The Kingdom of Hanover, which was eager to try, was not satisfied with the current German Federal Empire. Relying on the support of the British, he secretly tinkered with the so-called North-South German Plan.

The Vienna government did not seek their bad luck. Hanover was still in the imagination stage and had made a lot of plans but did not take substantial actions.
