Chapter 1253: The Whale Swallows the Austro-Hungarian Empire

In the hearts of the Prussians, there has always been a dream of a unified Germany. ⊥ the top novel, www.In the past few years, the Kingdom of Prussia has waged one war after another, all around this dream. Now, they've succeeded. After this peace conference, a united German empire would be established. The King of Prussia will become the Emperor of the unified German Empire.

However, the German Empire was also divided into Greater Germany and Little Germany. The Greater German Empire included not only the states of present-day Germany, but also the Austrian Empire and Bohemia. Of course, the top brass of the Kingdom of Prussia had prepared two plans, and if the establishment of the Greater German Empire was blocked, they would take advantage of the situation to launch the plan of the Lesser German Empire.

However, the fact that Austria-Hungary was so vulnerable to the war gave the Prussians hope of an empire larger than the Greater German Empire. In the same way, the contradictions between the Chinese Empire and the Kingdom of Prussia became more and more apparent, which also made the Prussians feel a personal crisis. The Chinese Empire is too powerful, not to mention the current Kingdom of Prussia, even if it is the German Empire established in the future, if it is hostile to the Chinese Empire, it will not have a chance of winning. Therefore, the Prussians had to find all they could to strengthen themselves. Only in this way can they occupy more advantages in the confrontation with the Chinese Empire.

If the Kingdom of Prussia were able to annex the entire Austro-Hungarian Empire, their power would swell again. Combined with the current occupation of the Kingdom of Prussia, the population of the German Empire is likely to reach about 100 million. The Germanic peoples will still dominate the empire, and their total population will be more than 60 million. That's the case. The gap between the German Empire and the Chinese Empire will be further narrowed. If the main battlefield of the war had been Europe, the German Empire would have had more of an advantage. Plus Russia and Great Britain, which would support the German Empire. The odds of victory for the German Empire will be greater. If the Ottoman Empire could be drawn into their camp, perhaps the German Empire would indeed be able to defeat the Chinese Empire. Ascend to the throne of world hegemon.

When Otto. Feng. After Chancellor Bismarck sent a telegram back to Berlin, it was delivered to Wilhelm I. William I was also silent for a long time. He knew that if Austria-Hungary could be annexed, then it would be of great benefit to the future German Empire. However, if you want to successfully annex it, I am afraid that it will not be easy. It is foreseeable that the Chinese Empire will definitely oppose it strongly. Even soldiers who met each other. In this case, the previous efforts of the Kingdom of Prussia would be in vain. However, if this opportunity was given up, William I was a little unwilling.

"Your Excellency the Chief of the General Staff, what do you think of the telegram they sent back, Your Excellency the Prime Minister? If we annex Austria-Hungary, will the Chinese immediately go to war with us? "William I was a little worried. When he was in Paris, he had met Long Yufei, the emperor of the Chinese Empire, and he also knew that Long Yufei was a sharp-eyed emperor. After the annexation of Austria-Hungary by the Kingdom of Prussia, what a threat it would pose to the Chinese Empire. Long Yufei won't be able to see it. Therefore, Wilhelm I believed that they were undoubtedly taking a risk if they wanted to annex Austria-Hungary.

"陛xià. There is no doubt that if we can annex Austria-Hungary, we will be greatly strengthened. In the war of the future. We were even able to mobilize tens of millions of troops. Even these armies may not be enough compared to the Chinese Army. But. If we were to fight on European soil, we would be able to gain a big advantage. The same. Whether the Chinese Empire will allow us to annex Austria-Hungary is indeed a question. "said the Chief of the General Staff, Colonel-General Reihel.

"So what should we do now? This is a great opportunity for us. If you give up, I'm afraid you won't have such a good opportunity again! "William I seemed a little unwilling.

"Your Majesty, I don't think we can afford to let go of this opportunity. We are already at a disadvantage in the confrontation with the Chinese, and this is a good opportunity to make up for our disadvantage. If we succeed, if we cannot replace the Chinese and become the hegemon of the world, then we can also become the hegemon of Europe. Even the Chinese, I am afraid that when the time comes, they will have to recognize our European hegemony! Admiral Reihel said. Although he is too old to take any risks. However, with such a good opportunity in front of him, he was also moved.

"What if the Chinese obstruct us, even at the cost of war?" William I asked. In that case, the gains outweigh the losses.

"Whether the Chinese will go to war with us because of this, I don't know. However, if we can secure the support of the Ottoman Turkish Empire, it may be much easier for us to annex Austria-Hungary. In the disposition of Austria-Hungary, we can ignore the opinions of the Chinese. At that time, even if the Chinese oppose it, it will not have much impact on us. Admiral Reihel said.

According to the agreement at the peace conference, the disposition of Austria-Hungary was the responsibility of the Kingdom of Prussia and the Ottoman Turkish Empire, and the Chinese Empire did not intervene. Therefore, the Kingdom of Prussia wanted to annex Austria-Hungary with the tacit approval of the Ottoman Turkish Empire.

"Hmmm! I know. Come, send a telegram to His Excellency the Prime Minister, and ask him to find a way to find out what the Turks are talking about. Find a way to get the Turks to support us, and for this, we can give the Turks a certain amount of compensation! William I said. He had already made up his mind and did his best to swallow Austria-Hungary in one fell swoop.

"Your Majesty is wise!" Admiral Reihel said. Wilhelm I's solution was undoubtedly the best, and if they could win the support of the Ottoman Turks, then they would annex Austria-Hungary. If the Ottoman Turks did not agree, then they thought of something else.

"The Kingdom of Prussia will surely win the final victory, no matter who our enemy is!" William I's eyes were full of determination.

Otto. Feng. After receiving the telegram from Wilhelm I, Prime Minister Bismarck immediately held a discussion with the members of the delegation. Frederick. Crown Prince William was even more excited.

"Your Excellency, as long as you find a way to convince the Turks, then we will succeed!" Frederick. Crown Prince William said excitedly.

Otto. Feng. Prime Minister Bismarck nodded, but he knew that it would not be so easy to convince the Ottoman Empire. The Ottoman Turkish Empire did not necessarily want to see a powerful German Empire rise. However, even if it is very difficult, Otto. Feng. Prime Minister Bismarck will not give up lightly. Before becoming prime minister, he was also the foreign minister of the Kingdom of Prussia, and his skills in diplomacy were equally jaw-dropping.

"Your Excellency the Foreign Minister, contact the Ottoman Turkish Empire at once, and I want to meet their Sultan!" Otto. Feng. Prime Minister Bismarck said. He knew that if the Ottoman Empire was to relent, he would have to convince Abdul. Mejid I.

"Yes, Your Excellency, Prime Minister!" Foreign Secretary Albrech. Feng. Count Ron nodded.

On the evening of November 17, 1855, the Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Prussia, Otto. Feng. Bismarck and Foreign Minister Albrech. Feng. Ron met with the Ottoman Sultan Abdul. Mejid I. Pasha Ali, chief of the Ottoman Turkish Empire, as well as Mustafa. Lester. Pasha was also accompanied by Abdul. They were received by Mejid I.

"Your Majesty the Sultan, Your Majesty the King of our country asked me to convey to you his most sincere greetings!" Otto. Feng. Prime Minister Bismarck's face was humble. Although the Kingdom of Prussia had never taken the Ottoman Turkish Empire, the sick man of West Asia, in order to gain the support of the Ottoman Turkish Empire, he had to lower his posture at this moment.

"Thank you, His Majesty William I, and please also ask His Excellency the Prime Minister to convey my greetings to him!" Abdul. Mejid I said with a smile. The attitude of the Prussians made him very satisfied. You know, after the decline of the Ottoman Turkish Empire, these European powers almost didn't take them seriously.

However, Ali. Pasha and Mustafa. Lester. The two of them had a bad premonition. Tomorrow is the negotiation of Austria-Hungary, but Otto. Feng. Prime Minister Bismarck and Albrech. Feng. Count Ron, however, met with His Majesty the Sultan this evening, and their purpose could not but be doubted.

"Your Majesty, tomorrow is the disposition of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, here, the Kingdom of Prussia hopes to be able to communicate well with the Ottoman Turkish Empire!" Otto. Feng. Prime Minister Bismarck said.

Abdul. Mejid I nodded, he was not a fool either, he also wanted to know what was in the hearts of these Prussians.

"Majesty, I don't know what the Ottoman Turkish Empire thinks about the post-war international form?" Otto. Feng. Chancellor Bismarck asked.

Abdul. Mejid I frowned and looked at Ali. Pasha.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, the post-war world is a world dominated by the Asia-Europe military alliance, which was predestined after the defeat of the North Atlantic military alliance. We will replace them as the new dominant player in the world! "Ali. Pasha said.

"Your Excellency Pasha, that's right. However, when we open the map, we can see that the whole world seems to have fallen under the rule of the Chinese. Those colonies in Asia, North America, and Africa have already planted the flag of the Chinese! "Otto. Feng. Prime Minister Bismarck continued. (To be continued......)
