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

Although Austrian Prime Minister Reina is very tough, Tina is also a cruel person, but the two also have a tacit understanding. Reina knows that starting a war means breaking up with the entire North Germany, and the Italians will also end up according to the EU treaty. , although Italy is not afraid, but after all, there are Prussian troops on Italian soil, and plus they are afraid of being beaten by Garibaldi's guerrillas, if you really want him to declare war, he will be unwilling to do so.

Tina would not take the initiative to declare war, and August would not support taking the initiative to declare war on other countries. It would definitely not work to make himself look like an aggressor. However, both the EU and the German Customs Union are led by Prussia, and Austria On the surface, Germany is still the leader, but its influence has been greatly reduced. It secretly wants to preserve its image.

Austria claims to make August the emperor of Germany, but it is hard to say whether the Kaiser who became the emperor with one mouth can convince the public. When the time comes, Austria will turn around and fan the flames, saying that August's legitimacy is not enough. Ah, she is not democratic or free. Those brainless liberals immediately raised their hands in the air to greet Master Wang.

If Austria wants to overpower Prussia, they can always find a way. Austria must overpower Prussia so that they can keep their position as the leader of the German Federation. Now it is true that Austria's national power is stronger. Prussia and Italy will fight together. Austria is sure to win, but it will suffer huge losses. If possible, try not to fight.

Although Reina is tough, he is not that tough. Seeing how tough Tina is, he honestly doesn't dare to continue stimulating her. But in an international diplomatic situation, once you enter, you can only continue to play. Tina's expression was calm, but now her heart was beating very hard.

Reina was the first to attack, "So Prussia doesn't intend to let Austria join the European Union? It's called the European Union, but it refuses to allow a European country to join it. What does Prussia mean?"

"Theoretically, the European Union is an international organization. As long as it is a European country, it has the right to join this union. However, Austria should also know that we will not modify the covenant for one country. This is respect for all contracting states. If Austria is willing to give up its superiority, Tone, accept all the conditions in the covenant, then the door of the European Union can be opened for you, but the European Union is not Germany, and Prussia rejects Austria’s application.”

Immediately, the members of the German states present, especially the relatively strong members of the German Confederation headed by Bavaria, began to have a strong interest in the EU. They were relatively strong, but had a single economic structure and weak industrial strength. They had long relied on Prussia or Prussia. For most of Austria's economic and military assistance, North Germany relied on Prussia, and South Germany relied on Austria.

These small German states have jumped back and forth between Prussia and Austria. Everyone has seen the development of Prussia. In addition, the terms of the EU are really beneficial to the small countries. They themselves have no ambitions. They just want to keep their own acres. To a third of a degree, although accepting these terms is not much different from annexing Prussia, with open borders, a unified currency, and EU standards, isn't this just a country? In addition to being able to keep a parliament of its own, the rest is basically integrated into the segments.

Austria wanted to get involved and break up this alliance, but he certainly did not have the ability to impose unilateral sanctions on Prussia, so he launched an attack on Prussia like this, and Tina was completely justified, as if the war meant nothing to her.

"By the way, Prussia can of course recognize Austria as the leader of Germany. Austria should occupy a dominant position in the entire German Confederation. So let's do this. We will withdraw from the group. Prussia will withdraw from the German Confederation. If other countries want to join the EU, or simply If you want to directly merge into Prussia, then we will welcome it."

The Austrian representative's face turned green. What the hell is this motive? Although I knew Prussia was playing big, but it actually played so big. Are you going to set up your own business and jump on the spot? You are very courageous!

"Bismarck! You started a war today! I tell you it won't end like this!"

Reina cursed, and the anger overwhelmed his brain. He probably didn’t know what he was doing. Anyway, he just cursed. The other representatives didn’t know what he was cursing. Anyway, everyone just followed suit. Mecklenburg, Lauenburg, Oldenburg, Hamburg and other countries all said that Prussia had the talent, and we followed!

On the other hand, several German states in the south said that Prussia was in a good mood and that nothing would happen, so it could be a little more stable and act as a wall protector. Whoever wins would help.

Reiner left the conference hall angrily, but the moment of anger seemed to be unable to change anything. He had to use actions to prove that you, a small Prussia, did not have such a big official power to ride on the head of our Austrian Empire.

........

A few days later, magazines and newspapers throughout Germany reported on the incident. Photos of Tina and Reina appeared on the headlines. The Austrian Emperor Franz took this matter very seriously and directly ordered the mobilization of the Austrian Military District. and standing troops of the Bohemian Military District, and limited mobilization for war began.

Franz shouted to August, saying that as long as she deposed Bismarck, there would be room for discussion, otherwise it would be difficult for everyone to break up. August's response was, "If Austria dares to go to war, then The people of Prussia will take up arms to defend their homeland until the invaders are completely driven out."

A lot of turmoil broke out in Austria because of this incident. First of all, it was Bohemia. The Austrian army marched into Silesia. There were almost [-] people here, while the army from the south marched into Venice. Less than thirty thousand people.

Prussia's reaction was even more intense. Demonstrations in support of the war broke out in Brandenburg and East Prussia. Prussian trade unions stated that they would unconditionally support Prussia's defensive war and that there would be no strikes during the war.

However, Prussia was not without opposition. Some opponents stood up. Their fierce remarks attracted August's attention. They strongly opposed the war and demanded that Prussia dissolve the European Union and remove Tina. But August is not that easy to talk to. You can have reasons to object in terms of policies, but talking so much nonsense on such an important topic as the survival of the country makes you look like a person with cerebral palsy. What you fear most is that this kind of cerebral palsy will mess with ordinary people. mentality, spreading the stupid virus, August directly arrested all these people in prison, or sent them to Malayan rubber.

On the Italian side, Vittorio ordered Italy to enter a state of war. If Austria invaded Prussia, it would be equivalent to declaring war on Italy. Italy would take war actions for the sake of national security. Then Italy pressed almost all its troops in Lombardy and Its surrounding areas still put a lot of pressure on Austria.

Although it is Italian, it is still difficult for Austria to defeat Italy's [-] Italian-Prussian allied forces with [-] men. It also faces the Prussian army in the north, but with the Sudeten Mountains and the Austrian army's unbreakable defense line, it can withstand it. There was still no problem with the Prussian attack.

August even more frantically mobilized [-] troops to march to Silesia, surrounded the entire Sudeten Mountains, and was ready to attack at any time.

At this time, the British Empire announced that according to the content of the Anglo-Prussian Mutual Assistance Treaty, if there was a war between Austria and Prussia, Britain would help Prussia.

This makes Austria miserable. The arrow is on the string and it is announced that it is almost ready. Aren't you making things difficult for me, Fat Tiger? I finally fought a war, and the British came to interfere again. Even though Austria knew in his heart that the British would not fight seriously, the pressure was quite high.

France has also come to an end at this time. It acted as a peacemaker. France said that Europe is one family. Why should the Germans bother the Germans? So when fighting, you should remember to buy more weapons from France, understand? It is best to transfer all your property to France. France is safe. Rich people and scientists from Austria and Prussia can come to France to develop. The French will not treat you badly.

It is true that they have played the archfire to the extreme, and now Austria is in trouble. If the British really come, the balance of power will be completely reversed. Initially, Franz thought that the British were just bluffing, but the next day the British Royal Fleet They surrounded the Mediterranean Sea. Is this serious?

August was also quite shocked. Why didn't we have this battle when we fought against the Ming Dynasty before? He also said that you are not just trying to gain war experience!

In the end, there was no way to fire a few bullets into the sky. After hearing the sound, and under the siege of the three surrounding countries, Austria chose to follow its heart, gave up thinking, and withdrew its troops from Silesia.

This crisis was finally temporarily relieved. Prussia relied on its unique diplomacy to defeat the old powers. Prussia's prestige was at its peak. It was already on par with Austria in the German region, and it was still a little behind. Many small North German countries had the idea of ​​joining the EU, and even I also want to refer it to the general public.
