As Ruprecht's wife, the prince will help Princess Mary to wear the crown of the king of Austria. As the prince's lover and collaborator, the prince will also help the latter gain a foothold in the future Ukraine! And their child Henry will also occupy an important position in the future Ukraine.&1t;/p>

Ukraine, Caucasus! The prince turned his eyes to the map. He picked up the pen in his hand, walked to the map, and after pondering for a moment, he drew an almost vertical line in the area west of Kiev. Here, it will become the territory of the Austrian Empire in the future! The new Austrian Empire needs enough food. After paying enough price, if you cannot obtain enough profits, it may be a trouble to integrate the forces of various factions in the country.&1t;/p>

(Even in history, the so-called independence of Ukraine was not later Ukraine. After all, later Ukraine included the Lviv region, which was an integral part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire before World War 1…)&1t;/p>

The western Ukraine is an important food production area, and it is also a region with less influence from Russia. As an example, in Ukraine in 201 years, the total number of Russian-speaking populations in the western region generally does not exceed 10%! Moreover, the main religious belief in western Ukraine is Catholicism. Well, this has a natural affinity with the Bavarian Kingdom and the Austro-Hungarian Empire. It is desirable to include this part of Ukraine in the Austrian Empire.&1t;/p>

Then there is central Ukraine. Well, that's right, you read it right, that is central Ukraine. Do you really think Ukraine is divided into the east and the west according to ethnicity and belief? Please, that is the superficial division method for people who did not understand Ukraine's history in later generations. In fact, according to the order of conquest, ethnicity and religious belief, Ukraine can be divided into the west, central, eastern and southern regions. (Sorry, there is no such thing as northern Ukraine)&1t;/p>

If we look at the national bloodline, the Russians, Ukrainians and Belarus actually originated from the ancient Ross. Therefore, the Ukrainians are also known as little Russians. The Qasako people were also composed of serfs and poor people who fled from the area near Kiev to the Dnieper River in the eastern part.&1t;/p>

During the era of Queen Ekaterina, Russia destroyed the Cossack emirates and obtained the territory of the Dnieper River region, which part was called Eastern Ukraine. After the Crimean Khanate was destroyed, the area obtained was called Southern Ukraine, which turned out to be the Tatars. This was even the case after the end of World War II. However, because the indigenous people here cooperated with the Germans, Stalin moved all of them in 1954, and then replaced the local ethnic groups with Russians...&1t;/p>

One thing to note is that at this time, the Crimea region did not belong to Ukraine... Khrushchev did the real division of the Crimean Peninsula into Ukraine. It is said that Khrushchev decided to do this and there was a story about Khrushchev's decision to do this. Khrushchev was in Ukraine. He started out in the Donbas coal mine, and then became the Minister of the Organization Department of the Central Ukraine in the 20s. In 1937, he was called the First Secretary of Ukraine.&1t;/p>

So after he came to power, he still had a lot of feelings for Ukraine. Then he went to the old place of Ukraine to revisit and came to Crimea in a confused manner. At this time, Crimea had been replaced by Russians. However, the new Russians did not live well. Ukraine had no obligation to control Russia in conquering, and whether the Crimean Peninsula was connected to another place... So Khrushchev waved his pen and directly assigned the Crimea region to the Ukrainian Republic... Well, that's it!&1t;/p>

So, from the present perspective, Eastern Ukraine is a Ukrainian with a heavy Cossack and Russianization, while Southern Ukraine is a Tatar who believes in Islam. Therefore, from the present perspective, central Ukraine is mainly Cossacks. Eastern Ukraine is a serious Russianization. Western Ukraine is relatively close to Poland and Austro-Hungary in terms of religious issues. Therefore, in this case, the prince plans to take part in some areas of western Ukraine and central Ukraine, which are less than half of those of later Ukraine. In addition, the future German and Austrian fleet may also have to settle in the Sevastopol Fortress.&1t;/p>

Then what? That's all? Let the remaining half of Ukraine be independent directly? If it was the German Emperor, then do it, but the prince thought that doing so was too rough and too 10. If possible, the prince hoped that the new Ukraine could expand eastward, and it would be better to go to Volgograd in later generations. Well, this place has another name in World War II, called Stalingrad! It was called Chalizin before 1925!&1t;/p>

Why is this happening? Because in the future system, Ukraine is positioned as an important ally of Germany and Austria. This ally must have a certain strength and can only rely on Germany and Austria! In order to achieve this goal, Ukraine, which has lost a considerable part of its territory, naturally cannot complete it. After all, the remaining places are a little small and lack depth. At the same time, the hatred with the new red Soviet Union is not big enough!&1t;/p>

Volgograd is indeed a very important place. Just from the perspective of the ground, it is a highway and waterway hub connecting Asia and Europe 6! To the east and north, you can enter the hinterland of the Soviet Union. To the south, it is a resource-rich Caucasus region, and to the west is Ukraine! And this is originally one of the important granaries in Russia.&1t;/p>

If Ukraine occupied this place, it could serve as a barrier to the Caucasus region under Germany and Austria. At the same time, it also blocked the passage for Russia's southern line! If the Soviet Union became strong, it would never give up here! From the perspective of geographical location and food, the Soviet Union had to control it for its own safety! Then the question arises, can the new Ukraine block the Soviets?&1t;/p>

Perhaps, the Soviet Union in this plane could not defeat Germany after the victory in the first battle... But! It would be fine to kill a Ukraine! So, now the problem arises. If the new Ukraine is sandwiched between the two major powers of Germany and the Soviet Union, what should they do in order to survive? Of course, they can only surrender to Germany. Can they still surrender to the Soviet Union?! Independence has a meaning of malaise!&1t;/p>

Moreover, after the eastward expansion, the ethnic problems within Ukraine will definitely worsen, and the relationship between the central and southern parts is not close to Russia. However, the eastern part is greatly affected by Russia. After Volgograd, there must be many Russians there. Although Ukrainians still account for the majority, the ethnic problems within Ukraine will definitely be more serious. At this time, if Ukraine wants to exist, it can only rely on Germany and Austria! Rely on the prince!&1t;/p>
