Chapter 336: Eastern European Alliance
In January 1936, Ernst was crowned Emperor of Austria and George V died, and the new Emperor was Edward VIII, who was said to love beauty more than he loved the country. He also met the legendary Ernst at the ceremony of George V's succession to the throne, and they were also important royals on the scene, and Ernst remembered very well at the time, and he also toasted with him.
Standing on the soil of Vienna, Ernst suddenly saw the former Holy Roman Empire, the former Austro-Hungarian Empire, maybe Germany was not the Third Reich, but the Quadruple Alliance.
Austria, Hungary, Slovakia, the Czech Republic, and now only Romania remains, which is also the largest of the five land areas of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and without saying anything, Romania took the initiative to apply to become a member of the Four-Power Alliance, and they will elect Ernst as king of Romania as Austria did.
Ernst originally wanted Romania to annex Hungary, but thinking about the tragic end of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the future situation, Ernst suppressed his inner thoughts, after all, Romania was not Slovakia nor East Prussia and Poland.
Suddenly, Ernst seemed to realize that perhaps he did not need to engage in any kind of national integration, but only guaranteed the rule of the Habsburgs in this land, so that he might be able to avoid some unnecessary troubles.
Like a company, Ernst had always wanted to set up a group, but he ignored the fact that he only needed to set up a holding company. There is no need to put so much effort into doing this.
Thinking of this, Ernst couldn't help but think of East Prussia and Poland. Perhaps the Kingdom of Poland and the Kingdom of East Prussia were more in the interests of local citizens. Slovakia did not need to move, because according to the laws of the Czech principality, citizens living in the Czech principality were the happiest, and Slovak citizens did not want to give up such benefits.
The emperors of the Middle Ages, who of them did not have a title with a circle on their heads? In fact, Ernst only needs to set up an organization of the Eastern European Union to replace the Four-Power Alliance, and he will serve as the chairman, and the other prime ministers will be the directors and executive directors, so that he can also control the entire Eastern European Union. Of course, one thing is very important. That was military independence, and the 1.5 million army troops obeyed only the orders of the president of the League, and they had no relationship with the kingdoms, which was the core of ensuring the rule of the Habsburgs.
Naturally, no one will have an opinion on this proposal, and perhaps the only person who will express his dissatisfaction will only be the Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Lithuania, because it will undoubtedly weaken the influence of the Kingdom of Lithuania and its position in the forthcoming Eastern European Union. The Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Poland-East Prussia-Lithuania can run for the post of executive director, while the Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Lithuania is estimated to be qualified only as a director.
Fortunately, the current prime minister of the Kingdom of Lithuania is not Arturas, who is entrenched here, but Stannis, who came from the Russian Empire. Gross, although he is very capable, is still unable to fully control the cabinet of the Kingdom of Lithuania in a short period of time, so naturally he does not have much say in this matter.
The tripartite division of the Kingdom of Lithuania is also an opportunity for many. For example, the Governor-General of East Prussia, Mr. Wales, Mr. Crispin, and so on, who stayed in Poland, East Prussia, and the Kingdom of Lithuania, were at most heavyweight ministers and governors-general. But now...... They have every chance of becoming prime ministers of a country.
By the time the Winter Olympics were held in Germany, the Eastern European Union had been officially formed and replaced by the Quad Alliance, which had a new flag, typically blue on a blue background and yellow stars, and the number of yellow stars was actually the number of countries owned by the Eastern European Union.
There are 10 countries in total, including the Czech Duchy, the Kingdom of East Prussia, the Kingdom of Lithuania, the Kingdom of Poland, the Kingdom of Austria, the Kingdom of Hungary, the Kingdom of Romania, the Kingdom of Kazakhstan, the Russian Empire, and the Kingdom of Qin, but this is just the beginning, and sooner or later Ernst will have the number of stars on his flag to a point that is difficult to count.
In terms of who was the greatest dictator in Europe at this time, who was the most noble royal family, and who was the king with the most titles, then there was no doubt that it was the Grand Duke of the Czech Republic, the King of East Prussia, the King of Lithuania, the King of Poland, the King of Austria, the King of Romania, the King of Kazakhstan, and the Emperor of Qin, Ernst. His Majesty Franz.
There are ten prime ministers of ten countries, but only one can really become a permanent member of the board of directors - the Prime Minister of the Cabinet of the Kingdom of Lithuania, Stennis Nis. Mr. Gross. If you count Massena and Arturas, the elders of the entire Eastern European Alliance have arrived. The remaining Prime Ministers are members of the Alliance, but their main office and focus is on the position of Prime Minister.
The establishment of the Eastern European Alliance made Britain, the United States and France very nervous, because it was only one Balkan region away from Ernst's road to the king of Eastern Europe, and they knew very well that Ernst was bound to win there, because it was a bit unworthy of the name to be the king of Eastern Europe.
A few years ago, Ernst's king of Eastern Europe meant that Ernst's military strength was the most powerful in Eastern Europe, and then the king of Eastern Europe meant that Ernst had been able to truly replace the entire Eastern European region in terms of influence, and now it is ...... All Ernst had to do was take the whole of Eastern Europe into his arms.
He wants people to think of Eastern Europe first and not a country in Eastern Europe, this is what Ernst wants to do, and this is what he wants to accomplish, unstoppable!
Britain, France, and the United States were engaged in urgent talks, but while they were still talking, Germany had already begun to enter the Rhineland in violation of the Treaty of Versailles, at the same time the Kingdom of Italy had captured the capital of Ethiopia, and Japan had begun its own aggressive invasion of the Far East.
The whole world began to be a little chaotic, and for a while the war seemed to be all over the world, Britain, France and the United States wanted to scold their mothers, and they were more like desperate to start a war, but they knew very well that now was not the time, although this time may be the time when the four countries were weaker, but they were also not ready for war, maybe they still had a fluke at this time.
The diplomats of the three countries went to several countries for talks, and the four countries were not too fierce about this, they accepted the talks very calmly, but in the face of the demands of the three countries, the responses of the four countries were completely different.
Japan is very respectful, and even the diplomats of the three countries are treated very favorably in Japan, but at the same time the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Cabinet have not given any clear response, the aggression continues, but their main target has turned to Southeast Asia rather than China, because some time ago Ernst had given Japan a warning, hoping that they would not cause mass killing, otherwise it would be difficult for Ernst to ensure that his anger would not be involved in Japan.
The Japanese side expressed very grievances, what is our relationship, what is the relationship between you and China, how can you not face outsiders! However, if you think about it this way, it is difficult for China to make any progress at this time, so the Japanese base camp began to target small countries in Southeast Asia. Chinese? Wait!
Japan chose a delaying tactic, while Germany very politely discussed whether the original Versailles Treaty could be revoked, you see that now we Germany is still within the scope of your targeting, even if we want to listen to you, we should also be wary of the attitude of "ordinary citizens", right?
In fact, Britain, France, and the United States chose to agree to Germany's request after a meeting, but they also had their own opinions, that is, to propose the recovery of East Prussia, and in this regard, Anglo-American-French would give Germany some help.
There is no doubt that this is a ploy by Britain, France and the United States, wanting to directly make Germany turn against the Eastern European Alliance and then they sit back and watch the tiger fight, this is a conspiracy, Britain, France and the United States even made it public in the media, and the German citizens were very angry, obviously they were a little dissatisfied with East Prussia becoming a member of the Eastern European Alliance.
Hitler was very entangled, he didn't know whether it was worth it, the benefits were very tempting, but the strength of the Eastern European Alliance was too terrifying, so terrifying that Hitler was very entangled.
Putting aside Hitler for the time being, let's talk about the Kingdom of Italy, in the face of the faint threat of Britain, the United States and France, the Kingdom of Italy responded with a disdainful smile, and even their diplomats did not see the diplomats of the Kingdom of Italy, of course, compared with the situation of the diplomats of the Kingdom of Italy, the diplomats of the Eastern European Union can be described as very unlucky.
Coming from London to Warsaw, they asked for a meeting with the diplomatic department before they even had a rest in the hotel, and the official application process made it impossible for the officials of the Eastern European Union diplomatic service in Warsaw to hide, and certainly did not think of avoiding it.
"I'm sorry, but both Austria and Romania are inherent territories of the former Austro-Hungarian Empire, and His Majesty the Grand Duke has de jure rights over Romania! Threat? Sorry, the Eastern European Alliance is not afraid of any threats, and I hope you calm down next time, or the 1.5 million Army will break through your doorstep. ”
What does it mean for 1.5 million troops to break through your doorstep? It was not just a breach of his door, it was a direct opening of the border, and such an outcome was not something that a diplomat could afford, the only thing he could do was to smile ugly and leave the diplomatic office in Warsaw.
None of the four countries went well, but to some extent, they also put pressure on the four to come, at least they continued to strengthen their strength while not daring to be so arrogant and desperate. (To be continued.) )
