Vienna, the capital of the Austrian Empire, was also the capital of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Located on the banks of the Danube, this city is the economic and cultural center of central Europe and a world-famous music capital. During the reign of the Habsburgs, Vienna was the capital of the Holy Roman Empire. In the city, countless musical geniuses have been born.

In 1278, King Rudolf I of Germany of Habsburg defeated King Ottokar II of Babenburg of Bohemia after many conquests, beginning the history of Habsburg rule over Austria. After Hungary and Bohemia were annexed to the Habsburgs in 1556, Vienna eventually became the capital of the Holy Roman Empire.

Vienna, as a famous city in Central Europe, has also been besieged and even occupied many times. During the first Ottoman siege of Vienna in 1529, the Austrians struggled to resist the Turks' onslaught, relying on the medieval walls, and were forced to withdraw due to the onset of the epidemic and the early arrival of winter. The siege of Vienna by the Turks revealed the weakness of the city's defenses, so from 1548 Vienna decided to transform it into a fortress consisting of 11 fortresses and 1 moat. This decision later proved to be wise, and in 1683 the Turks laid siege to Vienna for the second time, and the remodeled fortress defended Vienna for two months until the Polish king Jan Jan Brown. Sobiesky sent troops to help, relieved the Second Siege of Vienna, and led to the beginning of the decline of the Ottoman Empire.

Vienna was also occupied twice by the French Army during the French Revolution. The first took place on November 13, 1805, when the French army was unresisted. Effortlessly entered Vienna, and the citizens of Vienna even welcomed them with curiosity. Franz II had previously worn the Austrian crown in 1804 in response to Napoleon's claim to the throne. Became the first emperor of Austria and began the history of the Austrian Empire. Napoleon dissolved the Holy Roman Empire in 1806, and Franz II had to take off the crown of the Holy Roman Empire and become the last emperor of the Holy Roman Empire. In 1809 Napoleon captured Vienna for the second time, but this time he met with stubborn resistance, and soon after the capture of Vienna he tasted his first defeat at the Battle of Aspejne. After Napoleon's final defeat,

Right now. The officials in charge of foreign affairs of the world's major powers once again gathered in Vienna, making Vienna once again attract the attention of the world. Because of the road. Wei Yuan, the foreign minister of the Chinese Empire, was the last to arrive in Vienna. Battleships of the Imperial Navy escorted Wei Yuan ashore at Yaste in the south of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, from where he traveled by carriage to Vienna. When Wei Yuan arrived in Vienna, it was already April 30. Diplomats from several other countries had already arrived one step ahead of schedule.

April 28, 1851. Earl Glanville, British Foreign Secretary, arrived in Vienna. The French Foreign Minister, Count Valewski, and the Russian Foreign Minister, Count Nescher Rodie, met with the Austro-Hungarian Emperor Franz. Joseph I. Although, now Franz. Joseph I was only 21 years old, but he had already become the emperor of the world's leading powers. Prince Felix, Prime Minister of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, accompanied them to the Belverdi Palace.

"Thank you counts for coming to Vienna and giving Austria-Hungary this face. Greetings to Queen Victoria, Emperor Napoleon III and Emperor Alexander II on my behalf! "Franz. Although Joseph I was very young, he received a good education from an early age, which enabled him to face these scenes calmly. Not to mention, this time the Vienna Peace Conference. It was originally proposed by him. He hoped to take this opportunity to restore the influence of Austria-Hungary throughout the world.

"Thank you, Your Majesty the Emperor. If it weren't for His Majesty's efforts to turn the tide. Well, maybe now the war has broken out. Your Majesty, this is undoubtedly saving the people of the whole of Europe! The Earl of Granville hurriedly patted his ass. Sure enough, Franz. A smile appeared on Joseph I's face.

"As one of the great powers in the world, it is the duty of Austria-Hungary to maintain world peace!" Franz. Joseph I said.

Of the three countries of Britain, France, and Russia, Britain's relations with Austria-Hungary were now better. After all, at the time of Napoleon's domination of Europe, they were all important members of the anti-French alliance. Although, after the collapse of the French Empire founded by Napoleon the Great, the Austrian Empire was at one time allied with Russia. However, during the Austro-Prussian War, Russia did not give the Austrian Empire the slightest help, which quickly brought the relationship between the two countries to a freezing point. As for France, relations with Austria-Hungary were even more unpleasant. The two sides fought a lot in order to fight for territory in Italy. Not to mention, Napoleon the Great occupied Vienna twice, which brought a lot of casualties to the Austrian Empire.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I hope that this Vienna Peace Conference will be convened to reach a series of agreements to resolve the crisis that has erupted in Spain. After all, this war is something that no one wants to see! "Franz. Joseph I said. If he can successfully mediate the Spanish crisis, then his prestige will rise to a new level, both domestically and internationally. This will make his throne even more secure. After all, there were too many states that made up the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Joseph I had too young. His rule in the country was not so solid.

"Yes, Your Majesty, that's what we hope for! It's just that this time the Asia-Europe military alliance may not give in lightly! British Foreign Secretary Earl Glanville said.

"It's normal for both sides to have differences and contradictions. This time, we, the Austro-Hungarian Empire, are providing a platform for both sides to solve problems! "said the Prime Minister of Austria-Hungary, Prince Felix.

"Yes, that's why I convened the Vienna Peace Conference!" Franz. Joseph I also said.

"Your Majesty, the truth is like this. However, the Asia-Europe military alliance is now strong, and they will not be so reasonable. Said the French Foreign Minister, Count Valewski. Judging from his concept, it was as if it was just for France to send troops to attack the Kingdom of Spain.

"Your Excellency, can the French* army withdraw from the Kingdom of Spain first? The French army of more than 100,000 troops was in northwestern Spain, which directly sparked the war. If France can withdraw its troops, the other problems may be easily solved! "said the Prime Minister of Austria-Hungary, Prince Felix.

"Your Royal Highness, France's sending troops into the Kingdom of Spain this time is not an invasion of the Kingdom of Spain. I can assure God that France never had the intention of seizing the land of the Kingdom of Spain. We did this only because we were influenced by Don. Prince Carlos's invitation only. Tang Dynasty. Prince Carlos is in the Kingdom of Spain, and his life cannot even be guaranteed, and as a neighbor of the Kingdom of Spain, France seems to have an obligation to maintain the legitimacy of the Kingdom of Spain! Count Valevsky said solemnly.

Franz. Both Joseph I and Prince Felix frowned. Although Count Valewski was righteous, they were not fools and knew the intentions of the French. Tang Dynasty. Prince Carlos had previously staged a coup d'état in Madrid, which had not been successful. Behind this is the support of the French. Now, the French are even more openly sending troops to invade Spain, openly supporting the Don. Prince Carlos usurped the throne. This is undoubtedly the biggest contradiction in this peace meeting. It is not so easy to make the peace meeting a success!

"Yes, Your Majesty, His Royal Highness. Tang Dynasty. Prince Carlos, originally the second son of King Carlos IV of Spain. His elder brother, King Fernando VII, forcibly amended the Act of Succession against the traditions of the Kingdom of Spain and the wishes of the people. Prince Carlos lost his right to inherit the throne and put Isabella on the throne. Tang Dynasty. Prince Carlos is simply the protagonist in the tragedy. Therefore, the British also believe that the Don. Prince Carlos should be the rightful king of the Kingdom of Spain! British Foreign Secretary Earl Granville also said.

Russia agrees with this! Isabella II was simply a usurper, and the throne of the Kingdom of Spain should be returned to the Don. Prince Carlos can! Russian Foreign Minister Count Nechel Rody also said.

Prince Felix, the prime minister of Austria-Hungary, frowned, and according to what they said, these guys would not stop until they overthrew the rule of Isabella II. If Don. If Prince Carlos becomes the king of the Kingdom of Spain, then the Kingdom of Spain will definitely betray the Asia-Europe military alliance and join the North Atlantic military alliance. How could the Asia-Europe military alliance agree? There is simply no way to resolve such differences. Only by means of guò warfare can the other side be completely defeated.

Franz. Joseph I nodded, and he agreed with this point of view from the bottom of his heart. According to the law of succession to the throne, Tang. Prince Carlos was supposed to be the king of the Kingdom of Spain. However, his throne was seized by a conspiracy. If it were him, he would definitely fight desperately against Isabella II and regain the throne that should have belonged to him. Franz. Joseph I for the Don. Prince Carlos, very sympathetic.

"But if you want to make Don. If Prince Carlos replaces Queen Isabella II, the Asia-Europe military alliance will obviously not agree, and when the time comes, war will be inevitable! Prince Felix said. Undoubtedly, this is an unsolvable problem.

"Yes, Your Highness, this is indeed troublesome. However, we have already thought of a solution. If there were two Spains, the problem would be solved! The Earl of Granville said with a smile. (To be continued......)
