Welcome to 19th-century Europe, where strength reigns supreme

The atmosphere in the conference hall was a little tense, and Reina even had a chill down his spine. There was a group of guards standing in the conference hall. Valentina, as August's guard, was standing next to her with a rifle that was almost as tall as her. There is also the Prussian Grand Iron Cross on his chest, which is Prussia's highest honor.

Symbolizing a veteran who has experienced hundreds of battles, even Moltke does not have this big iron cross. Although she is dressed as a maid, the medal means that she is not an ordinary person.

Of course, this was Tina's intention. Valentina didn't have a large Iron Cross at all, because Valentina was not a noble. She only had a second-class Iron Cross specially issued when she protected August during the Brandenburg Incident. That’s all.

This Iron Cross was temporarily given to Tina in order to frighten Reina, and Reina recognized this thing, and the pressure immediately came up. Reina subconsciously believed that if this meeting could not satisfy Prussia, he would probably be in front of her. This guy was shot to death.

"We have been talking about the Danish issue for so long and still haven't solved it. I'm tired of it. Either Austria will hand over Schleswig and Holstein to us. If Austria refuses, Prussia will just use its troops to rob it."

Tina acted like a tiger at this time, and her words revealed a sense of domineering. This time in her own territory, her voice was much louder.

Reiner was a little scared, and he said with a smile, "It's not that, it's not that, Austria didn't say not to give it to Prussia, but Schleswig and Holstein cannot be separated. How about Prussia takes Lauenburg? That place It’s actually not bad.”

"You fart, why don't you want Lauenburg? Just give it to a county? You are not even willing to give it to a city. Do you think we are fools?"

The Principality of Lauenburg is a small principality in the north of Prussia, with a total area of ​​more than [-] square kilometers. In Spanish terms, it is like a bone thrown to a dog.

"This...Ms. Bismarck, it's impossible for me to give you both principalities, right? Then how can I go back and deliver business?"

"I don't care about you. If you insist on the content of the Treaty of Ribe, then don't blame us for being rude!"

"This...the law of our ancestors is immutable!"

August said with a smile, "Prussia and Austria are brothers whose blood is thicker than water. It would be too sentimental to talk about this kind of thing. It's better to have half of it. Prussia occupies Schleswig and the Austrians occupy Holstein." And Lauenburg, Austria is not too bad, right?"

"But the Treaty of Ribe..."

"Let it go to hell. It has been almost hundreds of years. The Holy Roman Empire has been destroyed. There is no point in talking about those old almanacs. Why don't we all take a step back? You are good, I am good, everyone! Besides, Tina is serious. , as an internationally powerful politician, wouldn’t it be good to be a little more flexible?”

"Um..." Reina weighed it and found that it seemed to be the truth, the ancestral method? It's better to be scolded than to be beaten, right?

Reiner finally accepted the content of the treaty, gave Schleswig to Prussia, and took Holstein for himself. Of course, he was unwilling to do so. First of all, the Austrian Empire was still a great power no matter how weak it was, but it was actually defeated by a small one. Little Prussia threatened, which was a shame and a shame.

What's more, all the propaganda in Austria is about Prussian miscellany. Prussia was useless in the war except for killing the opponent. The Prussian navy was not as good as the Austrian fishing boats. The Prussian army could do nothing but surrender. Austrian newspapers almost It is full of such unobjective smear news.

If the news that Prussia had captured Schleswig spread to the country, wouldn't Austria's national sentiments be ignited again? Prussia was so well publicized, why should they give Austria's land to them?

The summary is that he shot himself in the foot. Reina had to think of a way to fool him when he got back, otherwise he would either disarm and return to the field or go to the west.

Reina chose to stay in Berlin for a while in the name of sightseeing. He wanted to see if there was anything he could take back for study. Otherwise, it would be hard to say whether he would go back to the ICU and push it out into the general ward or the morgue.

August didn't care about him. If he wanted to investigate, he could investigate. What August needed most now was to find a few traitors to torture the German people in the Austrian Empire, then defeat Austria and annex Bohemia. This would not only threaten Vienna, but also allow Hungarians to account for the majority of the empire's population. Then as long as Hungary chooses to go it alone and break away from the Austrian Empire, what else can Austria do except mix with the German Empire?

Although the dream is beautiful, August doesn't know whether it can go as planned. However, the fact that Austria is timid, weak, and resorting to militarism is undoubtedly revealed.

August just needed a better chance to take out Austria, and that would require help from other countries.

.......

When news of the partition of Schleswig and Holstein with Prussia reached Austria, it naturally caused an uproar. As expected, everyone was dissatisfied with the treaty, especially other ethnic groups in Austria, who were the most unhappy.

If the Germans in Austria still identify with the Prussians, then other ethnic groups can be said to hate Prussia extremely. In their eyes, this war was fought by the Czechs and Hungarians, and they suffered [-] to [-] casualties. , [-] to [-] people died, and only over [-] Germans died in total.

This gap made them very unhappy. On top of this, they were still tortured. At the end of the row, Prussia actually robbed Schleswig. Isn't this a pure country? Grab it tomorrow! And didn’t Prime Minister Tan say at the beginning that the laws of the ancestors are immutable? Your moral bottom line is quite flexible.

A nationalist movement was immediately aroused in Budapest. They claimed to take back Schleswig from Austria, but they were ignored by Vienna. At first, Vienna was just talking about it. This Prussia is serious, and there is nothing we can do about it. .

The most depressing person must be Franz. His grandmother, Reina, that arrogant person, didn't come back. This time, all the blame was immediately pointed at him. He was so angry that he must be fired when Reina came back.

Napoleon III, who was next door, thought of a damaging move. He shouted, "The Prussians have robbed Austria of its glory. No Austrian with a sense of honor can tolerate such a result."

By the way, he told Franz that if Austria and Prussia fell into war, France would provide all assistance except help.

Although it was a blank check, Franz was not vigilant enough about this. He only heard that France seemed to support Austria.

At this time, many people also stood up to support another war against Prussia. Austrian Prime Minister Richard even said, "We can defeat Prussia. Before it rises, we defeat it first. As for Italy, it is just a passive one." With the defeat of Prussia, the defeat of Italy and Denmark will follow. There is no need to worry. As long as Britain still wants to establish its European balance of power, we can win. Our army is [-], and Prussia has only Less than [-], the strength of the Prussian-Austrian War was [-] versus [-]. In any case, the advantage is mine."
