It was Germany that did the work against Austria, and it was not surprising. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

From the establishment of the German Republic, the unification of the German nation and the establishment of a German nation-state were the highest goals. From the top of the German National Revolution from top to bottom, for more than ten years, every German has such a lofty sense of mission. In the textbooks of German secondary schools, it is written that German reunification is the trend of the times and the mission that all Germans must achieve.

After the war in Europe, Germany became stronger and stronger, and although Austria also made some progress, the gap between its national strength and Germany increased. In the decade after the European War, Germany built a complete industrial system and its strength was unrivaled. The German army, which was established compared to the Tang army, is also considered to be the most combat-ready army in Europe.

Germany is driving on a more independent political line, and the political strongman who once created Germany has a whole set of political layouts.

The first step is to decouple from Datang and give up the alliance with Datang. Datang has never sought to establish a military alliance similar to NATO in Europe, in fact, the academic and political circles have formed a unified view to this day - Datang's national strategy in Europe is actually similar to that of Britain, that is, it is "powerless" to occupy Europe, so let the European powers balance, so as to better maintain Datang's interests. Therefore, Datang did not form a gang with anyone, did not extraordinarily exclude the previous enemies, and did not get too close to the previous allies. Even after entering the 19th century, the Tang Dynasty lacked a basic concern for European affairs. Therefore, European scholars and politicians believe that Datang has only one purpose in Europe, to suppress all European countries, so that no European country can challenge Datang's world leadership.

In some ways, this idea is also correct. However, this argument is also excessively egocentric, and Europeans are still accustomed to the world revolving around them, and they will not think that the reason for Datang's lack of interest in Europe is that Datang lacks interest in Europe. Datang's energy is on building its own country and improving the living standards of more residents, and Datang is less and less concerned about how Europeans toss themselves.

Marnes believes that after seeing the national strategy of Datang clearly, Datang lacks a real desire to dominate Europe, even if Datang has troops stationed in Europe and has enough influence, but Datang is not interested in calling the shots for Europe. In fact, the military alliance with Datang was meaningless, and Datang wrote in the exclusionary clause that if Germany took the initiative to attack other countries, Datang would not be obliged to assist Germany. In fact, the so-called covenant is only a treaty on the stationing of troops in Germany, so Germany does not need such a thing.

Germany has the heart to gain a bigger stage, gain more influence, and become a dominant player in Europe. In the past, Marnes's idea was to rely on the ability of Datang to make Germany the first brother of his European allies, that is, to use Datang to give orders. But now, Datang has no such idea, and if Germany is over-inflated, Datang will not be happy to see it. Datang does not want Germany to be too strong, and Germany has stronger needs, which is a contradiction.

Marnes also deeply understands a truth, that is, if Germany does too much and is too outstanding, it is likely to shoot the first bird and be cleaned up by the Tang Dynasty. So, Marnes is still brewing the next step, a bigger chess game.

When Austria sent troops to the Balkans, Marnes sent German Foreign Minister Stein to England secretly. Stein and British Foreign Secretary Charles? Gray had a secret meeting, and the issues they discussed were so secret that the slightest leak could cause an uproar that shocked the world.

Stein came to England to ask Britain to abandon its position in favor of Austria and to recognize the future fact of Germany's annexation of Austria. The British immediately thought that the Germans were crazy, although many years ago the British were not against the Austrians, but now Austria is an important pawn used by the British to counterbalance Germany, and the two sides have been allies since the last European war.

The Germans, however, came up with their own blueprint - the European Union.

Germany believes that the existence of the Tang Dynasty will suppress all the naturally superior Europa races, so that all Aryan races will be relegated to the second-class citizens of the world, and European countries will have no colonies, no privileges, no development opportunities, and everything will be occupied by the Tang Dynasty. But Datang is also too powerful, and no country can fight against her alone. Only by gathering the strength of the whole of Europe will Datang be discouraged. Just imagine, the strength of Germany, Britain, France, Italy, Spain and other countries, even if it is not as good as the overall strength of Datang, it is enough to make Datang fearful.

This is a typical example of an arrow being easily broken and a bundle of arrows being difficult to break.

All European countries must abandon their past suspicions and seek unity and reunification, so that they can gain a higher status and be more able to bargain and share their interests in front of the Tang Dynasty. If Europe is as pure internal friction as in the past, then they will always be the slaves of the Tang Dynasty, and only by uniting can they get a chance to sit on an equal footing.

This proposal can be said to have shocked the British, who have given up the idea of competing with Datang for world hegemony, but it is true that they are unwilling. The Germans' plan was not perfect, but it was at least somewhat feasible. Britain and France had reconciled after the war, and Germany and France had relatively eased relations. Italy also had good relations with France and Germany, and Spain was more mediocre, but if Britain, France and Germany united, Spain would certainly be willing to join. As for Russia in the countryside to the east, it has always tried to gain the recognition of Western Europe and bring Tsarist Russia in, and Tsarist Russia is also a hundred willing.

The whole process inevitably involves a lot of diplomatic games and exchanges, but there is no doubt that the British also see a political basis in it, and these European countries all have a common interest, that is, to prevent Datang from continuing to sit on everyone's head, suppress all countries with their own strong strength, take away all the best colonies, force all countries to open their markets and implement low tariffs, and exploit all countries with technological superiority.

Germany's meaning is very clear, Austria, a country that is no longer useful, should not exist. By being incorporated into Germany, Germany can make a greater contribution to the future European Union. Germany was also willing to support some of Britain's policies and actions in the colonial and commercial spheres.

In short, Europe has to have one voice externally, and it can exchange and coordinate internally.

To form this alliance, it will take some sacrifice now, and only the most competitive and promising players will be able to continue at this table, and the chips of the bad players should all go to the hopeful players. (To be continued.) )
