On the same day that Zhuge Weijiu visited the Rothschild Palace in Vienna, British Foreign Secretary Robert . Peel, along with Viscount Palmerston, Lord of the Admiralty, and Sir Hardy, First Sea Lord, are visiting the Hofburg Grand Palace in Vienna.

These three men were nominally in the foreground for the Nth Vienna Peace Conference, which would be held soon after, and the apparent purpose of this peace conference was, of course, to mediate the ongoing "Ming-Indian War." Although the war that was going on at the present time was called a "world war" by some, and indeed a world war in later historical records, most people did not realize that they were in the midst of a world war between the end of 1831 and the beginning of 1832.

And the possibility of a peaceful end to this world war is always present...... Because the protagonists of the two sides involved in the war, the Ming Empire and the British Empire, both knew very well that there was no possibility for them to enter the opponent's territory and completely defeat the other party. So the end of this war is destined to be a compromise peace conference, not the collapse and surrender of one side or the other.

So in this war there is a ridiculous phenomenon, on the one hand, the giant ships and cannons are fighting at sea, fighting for pieces of coveted colonies; On one side, the rulers of both sides were talking about bed politics in Vienna...... By the time the war was over, the soldiers below had died an unknown number of deaths, but the rulers above had become relatives!

However, arranging a peace meeting (and pro) with the envoy of the Ming Dynasty (Zhuge Weijiu) is just Robert. Peel, Viscount Palmerston, and Sir Hardy are on the surface of the task. Their real mission, of course, is to mess with Europe!

Britain and the Ming Dynasty can compromise and turn hostility into marriage, but it is impossible for Britain to watch the Bourbon dynasty and the Romanov dynasty rise in Western Europe and Eastern Europe respectively, one as a Western Rome and the other as an Eastern Rome.

I think that Britain was conquered by Western Rome back then!

If the two Romes are stunned again, they won't dig out the nest of the British Isles when they turn back?

So this thing has to be stirred up!

And on the European continent, there are also many people who do not want to come back to Rome. The least wanted of them all, of course, was the Austrian Emperor Franz I! He was originally a good Holy Roman Emperor Franz II, and Shina was recognized as the big brother of Europe, although he was already angry when it was passed into his hands, but the righteous name of the leader of the HRE Emperor Oulu is still there!

But the French unreasonably deprived him of the throne of the Holy Roman Empire, and even the thousand-year-old empire of the Holy Roman Empire was dismantled, so that he had to gather the remaining territories of the Habsburgs and build a half-dead Austrian Empire - the Austrian Empire does not seem to be much different from the HRE at first glance, that is, it has stripped away those HRE vassal states that have long been independent. Moreover, after the fall of Napoleon, Austria pulled a group of German brothers into a confederation, but this confederation had no way to include the non-German territories under the Habsburgs.

In this way, however, the Germans in the Austrian Empire were not only a minority, but also had a dual identity – both German and Austrian. Even Germany is more identified than Austria! The non-Germans in the Reich regarded the countries of the German Confederation outside Austria as foreign countries (in fact, foreign countries), so that the Germans, the original HRE main nation, became a minority in the Austrian Empire......

So the Austrian Empire was now a very fragile outnumber, and the country was still in Europe after the Napoleonic Wars, where the national consciousness of the nations was emerging. The sad future of Europe's second-largest country, with a population of more than 30 million (more than both France and Britain and after the Rakshasas), is entirely conceivable.

It is precisely because of the outnumbering of the Austrian Empire that the Austrian Emperor Franz I and Prime Minister Metternich are very afraid of the further rise of France and Russia, the two European powers, after Britain was defeated by the Ming Dynasty - judging from the information held by Franz I and Metternich, the post-war arrangement of the Ming Dynasty for Europe seems to be the three-legged establishment of East and West Rome and the "United Kingdom of Zhu Ying".

And this meant the dissolution of the Austrian Empire!

Because once France becomes Western Rome, it will inevitably swallow a plate of scattered Italy, and Austria's large territory in northern Italy will definitely be snatched by the French!

And if the Rakshasa becomes the Eastern Rome, it will definitely take Constantinople, but it is difficult to defend and develop alone, and it is impossible to turn it into the capital of the Rakshasa (Eastern Rome), so the Rakshasa will definitely expand violently to the Balkans! This meant that the Austrian Empire's territory in the Balkans would be taken by Eastern Rome.

By that time, Austria had lost Italy and the Balkans, and what was left? Will the rest of the territory be further divided between East and West Rome? Louis XVII was not so black to say, Nicholas I was sure to share......

So if the rise of Rome in what the Ming envisioned came true, then Austria would have to become the second in Poland!

Therefore, Austrian Emperor Franz I and Prime Minister Metternich are now more anxious than the British Alternate Queen Victoria and Prime Minister Duke Wellington...... In the Hofburg Grand Palace, the elderly Austrian emperor exchanged a few words with the British visitors and inquired about Victoria's current situation.

"What has Princess Regent been up to lately? Will she be coming to Austria in a while? ”

British Foreign Secretary Robert . Peel smiled, "Her Royal Highness has been studying hard lately Chinese...... This Chinese character is difficult to recognize, memorize and write, but the princess is still studying very hard, and the progress is gratifying, and by the time she comes to Austria, she should be able to talk to His Royal Highness King Daminglu in Chinese. ”

"What?" The Austrian emperor was anxious at once, "Princess Victoria will meet King Daminglu in Vienna?" What are they meeting for? ”

Do? Of course it's a blind date!

Robert. Peel smiled and said, "Of course it's a peace plan!" ”

Viscount Palmerston also said: "Princess Louise of France and Archduke Alexander of Rakshasa will also come to Vienna...... These four young people must have a lot of language in common. ”

Common language? How to divide Austria?

The Austrian emperor hurriedly glanced at Prime Minister Metternich beside him - Mei Zhongtang, think of a way!

Metternich said calmly: "The Chinese should not give up their ambitions for India, Australia and Western Oregon, right?" ”

Robert. Peel sighed: "The current situation is very dangerous, if we can keep India, we can make concessions in Australia and Western Oregon...... And the future queen can also marry the prince of Daming! ”

"This, this ......" the Austrian emperor looked at Metternich.

Metternich leaned into Franz I's ear and whispered: "The Chinese should accept it!" As far as I know, their targets were originally sparsely populated Australia and Western Oregon...... They need the land and resources there! ”

The Austrian Emperor glared at a pair of goldfish eyes and looked at the three Englishmen in front of him, "Is the situation really that critical?" Daming's battle line seems to be very long, their troops must be very tight, right? ”

Sir Hardy, Britain's First Sea Lord, shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, Britain has a population of just over 20 million!" The population of the Ming Empire, plus Japan and those vassal states that were very close to the Ming Dynasty, exceeded 400 million...... How could their forces be strained? ”

The Austrian Emperor said, "But the present war is mainly fought by the navy, and their navy is not 20 times the size of the British!" ”

Sir Hardy sighed and said, "You're right, the difference in the size of the two navies is not that big, but ...... We can't put all our navies on the front line, we have to watch out for a sudden attack on our island nation by a country on the European continent! ”
