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

After the short-lived carnival, Prussia's international situation also became a bit grim. Now Prussia has entered a period of crisis. Almost all countries in Europe know that Prussia's defeat of Austria has symbolized an old age. The fall of a great power and the rise of a new one.

This country rising from the European continent will threaten the status of the established powers, which naturally attracts additional attention from France. As for Tsarist Russia, another great power on the European continent, it is still obsessed with expanding towards the east and is at war with the Ming Dynasty. There was no way to use his hands to balance Prussia.

Now that Prussia's territory has expanded so much, there were originally only Germans and a small number of Poles in the country, but now there are many Czechs. Even so, the German population can still account for more than [-]%. But just because you don’t have an opinion doesn’t mean that others don’t have an opinion.

The Czechs declared that if the Germans did not want to see them, they would go out independently and form a country of their own.

The other members of the German states have similar expressions. Many people do not want Prussia to unify Germany. Local dignitaries are making trouble, and local people are also making trouble. Every state in the Prussian region is holding a bank party and is ready to give you a popular vote at any time. Brother, it’s a big wave

August turned all the German states from countries into provinces. He was relatively friendly to the powerful and did not send you to Africa to feed the lions. How dare you make trouble? Are there too many smiling faces that make you confused about your position?

Of course, despite the complaint, August did not want to be too radical. He must first firmly control the local military power, disband or recruit the armies of the old princes, and then let the Prussian army take over local affairs. The next step is Liquidate those old forces.

Otherwise, the people there would be unhappy and want to restore the German Confederation and secession, which would not be fun. August did not want to fight a civil war that would waste people and money.

The unification of Greater Germany is indeed the idea of ​​every German, but just like the Greater Germany plan and the universal empire plan of Prussia and Austria, the people of other German confederations also have plans that they are more willing to implement.

And this is the federal unification plan. To put it bluntly, it is to reverse the course and create a few electors. Hello, I am hello, everyone. They can unify Greater Germany with words without having to fight. They also want to create some federalism. In the United States of Germany, each federal state has its own parliament and state title.

Anyway, it’s a bunch of nonsense. People who have been brainwashed by the Frankfurt National Assembly for a long time are like this. Who can you imitate but the United States? The political system of the United States has many loopholes, and a lot of problems will definitely occur in the later stage.

To be honest, the country name Prussia is a bit outdated, because after all, half of Germany has been unified. The next step is to defeat France in the Franco-Prussian War and realize the unification of Germany. But now it is not good to call it the German Empire. After all, Not being crowned in Versailles does not underline the greatness of the German Empire.

But these are not unsolvable problems. August has his own solution, but the more serious problem now is the situation in France. France plans to claim the Rhineland and Luxembourg first, and then Belgium.

Tina signed the Franco-German Treaty of Versailles, but she obviously wanted to default on her debt. "The international situation is very unfavorable now, but in any case, the Rhineland cannot be given to France. We can only find a way to divert the trouble to the north and let Nasan take the lead." Belgium, and then we give Belgium some assistance so that they can resist as long as possible."

Moltke said, "Britain's attitude is unclear now. We can try to let it help us. As long as Britain requires Prussia not to hand over the Rhineland, Napoleon III can only be incompetent and furious."

Auguste asked, "What are our chances of winning if we go to war with France?"

Moltke: "Less than [-]%. France is too powerful, much more powerful than Austria. France has always been a completely unified power and has huge colonies. If France understands us, I can't guarantee that Prussia can If we can stop it, France is too strong, and even the British Empire cannot guarantee that it can win against France."

Of course, there is another reason, that is, Britain can be defeated by any country, but it can never be defeated by France. France can surrender to any country, but it can never surrender to Britain.

After all, this young couple has never fought each other since they were born. They have been fighting for hundreds of years, and I have never heard of anyone being completely defeated. Moreover, these two fighting masters only have a small taste, usually fighting in other people's lands. They play in North America, Asia, and Central Europe, but the British may not be strong enough. The British usually trick their teammates into going to France to play against the French, and they wait outside to win before going in.

The French, on the other hand, were targeted by the British. They felt very uncomfortable and could not expand. Every time there was a war, there was always a British person there to judge justice. As a result, they could never get anything good or get too much of Europe. Core territories and overseas territories can only be limited to Africa. If it is slightly stronger, it will be taken care of by European countries in turn. Britain is the most comfortable in Europe. It is alone overseas and does not need to be violently beaten by European powers.

The fact that the Prussian-Austrian War was able to avoid foreign interference was also caused by the misjudgment of the situation by Britain and France. They all believed that this was a long-lasting war, especially France, who secretly enjoyed it. As a result, Prussia defeated Austria so quickly. He also gained so much territory, which made Napoleon III even more anxious to get the Rhineland, Luxembourg and Belgium.

The United Kingdom is looking at Prussia a little fiercely, and hopes that France can torture Prussia a little. Moreover, its own problems have not yet been solved. It is estimated that it will be difficult to deal with matters in Europe in a short time. The Conservative Party, which is still in power, still wants to play with the mainland. With the balance of power strategy, it is estimated that Prussia will be slightly snubbed in the future, or it will simply be a fight between France and Prussia.

Lillian's road to seizing power is not over yet. Although she has made some news, it is not enough. But the good news is that Lillian's support rate is already higher than that of the Conservative Party. Basically, all it takes is a no-confidence vote to detonate it. The whole of Britain now depends on what she wants to do.

August looked at the map again and again. The only helpers she could find on the world map were the United Kingdom and the United States. In the OTL world line, Lincoln was assassinated on April 1865, 4. But in this world line, due to the intervention of Prussia, the war ended quickly. The Prussian army stayed in the United States for more than half a month before leaving. By that time, Lincoln had already taken care of most things.

This resulted in Lincoln not being assassinated and living well to this day. Looking at his political achievements in recent years, he might hope to become the first American president to be elected for three consecutive terms in American history.

As for the dangerous ally of the United States, Auguste has been keeping an eye on it, fearing that the United States will come up with something new but Prussia has not. In Auguste's eyes, keeping the United States isolated in America is the best choice. She does not want to I hope that the United States will participate in any affairs related to the Eurasian continent. Wouldn't it be better to stay in the Americas with peace of mind?

August's treaty was very beneficial to the United States after the Civil War. Americans all saw the power of the Prussian army. People generally believed that the Prussians won the American Civil War. They had great distrust of their own country's army. .

So as long as the United States opens up its market, engages in free competition, and sells stocks to the Prussian Foundation, then Prussia is willing to protect the independence of the United States. As long as a country takes the initiative to declare war on the United States, Prussia will also declare war on it, but the United States has no such obligation.

This sounds wonderful, right? With Prussia's guarantee, the United States will not deliberately expand its military, and Prussia can occupy the U.S. market with its currently more advanced industrial strength, and the current silly, sweet, and sweet Lijian has not yet understood things like finance, and has not yet figured out how to do it. He doesn’t understand what financial hegemony is, and he doesn’t even have supervision on the stock exchange. In this situation, August wants to take advantage of little America, isn’t it just a joke?
