January 1849 passed without knowing it. This month, the land of Europe is still a pot of gruel. The traditional powers only include Britain and Russia, which are relatively stable, while France, Prussia, and Austria are really just like chicken feathers.

Take the Frenchman, for example, at the end of December 1848, after constant wrangling and intrigue, Napoleon III in exile in London was surprisingly elected President of the Second French Republic.

Of course, no one could have predicted the future of this swinger. Most people thought that this guy could be elected president, mainly because the major political factions within France had too much competition, and no one was willing to back down. Let this guy get lucky.

It’s just that the future is so interesting. Only three years later, the Second French Empire announced its restoration. The President Napoleon III, who was considered to be destined to go bankrupt and go to prison, became his Majesty the emperor overnight. Fifty years ago, relive the glorious achievements of Napoleon the Great.

Prussia doesn’t have much to say. Although it is also chaotic, it can be considered to have gradually stabilized. It can only be said that it has begun to lick the wounds and is ready to drive the Prussian chariot to restart.

The most messed up was Austria. In early January, with the support of Russia, Schwarzenberg finally stabilized the situation, and then immediately began to abolish the emperor. Soon Ferdinand I announced his abdication, his stupid brother Franz. Karl I declared himself Emperor of the Austrian Empire.

It’s just that the situation that Franz Karl I had to face was really messy. The counter-insurgency operations in Hungary were not smooth. The rebels were extremely tenacious and blocked them and the Russian army firmly outside Pest. Even Artur played quite well, and was once allowed to approach Bratislava. If it weren’t for Paskovic’s intensified offensive from the north and forcing Artur to transfer troops to rescue, it is estimated that Bratislava, Hungary would have won a big victory.

The worst thing was not Hungary, but Italy. As the Kingdom of Sardinia declared war on Austria in early January, Radsky was forced to devote all his energy to dealing with the Kingdom of Sardinia. This allowed Mazzini and Garibaldi, who were a generation of uprisings in Rome, to seize the opportunity to occupy the city of Rome in one fell swoop and upset the entire area of ​​Rome.

Anyway, politicians in major European countries feel that Austria will be very troublesome because there are too many problems in this country. Hungary has pits, Italy has pits, and even the Czech Republic has been suppressed and there are new uprisings.

All in all, this country is just a pot of boiling water, which is hot everywhere!

According to the mainstream opinion, if Austria does not want to change its passiveness, it is likely to collapse directly. The Habsburg family, which has been rampant in Europe for hundreds of years, will really return to their hometown.

The pressure on Schwarzenberg’s side was naturally not small, so under extremely difficult circumstances, he was determined to go to Russia, ready to personally communicate with Nicholas I, and was ready to persuade the European conservative forces to quickly strengthen their efforts. Austrian aid.

It should be said that Schwarzenberg’s trip was still very courageous. After all, the domestic situation was in a mess, and the internal opponents of him were not completely settled. At this time, if you go abroad, it is easy to be attacked and plagiarized.

But he just went resolutely, this time he was really bold. It’s just that, although Duke Alexander is certain of his courage, he thinks Schwarzenberg should do better.

“It’s right to go to St. Petersburg. You can persuade your Majesty to put pressure on me, let me make him less trouble, and let our country increase military intervention. There is no problem.”

Duke Alexander smiled and analyzed Li Xiao: “But before he goes to St. Petersburg, it’s best to go to Berlin first, or to stop by Berlin.”

Li Xiao also believes that Duke Alexander’s judgment is correct, and Schwarzenberg really needs to go to Berlin first, because there are big problems in Germany.

As a traverser, Li Xiao knew that the biggest impact of the 1848 revolution was the collapse of the relationship within the Holy Alliance. Because of the decline and chaos of Austria, Prussia has the idea of ​​unifying the northern states of Germany. In history, Prussia and Austria also had a sharp conflict. If it weren’t for Nicholas I and Russia to stand on Austria’s side, Austria, as the traditional leader of the German states, would really be pulled off horseback by Prussia.

As a prime minister in charge of the overall situation, Schwarzenberg’s biggest mission is to safeguard Austria’s interests, but he was hindsight about Prussia’s ideas and did not warn Prussia in advance or try to reach agreement with Prussia. .

This led to the outbreak of the problem. Austria once completely lost control of the situation. In the end, it had to rely on Russia to exert pressure on Prussia to barely keep its face. To be honest, this was very unqualified.

And although this time relying on Russia to settle the Prussian provocation, it also buried the bane of the Prussian-Austrian War. For Prussia, this is a great shame, and it is naturally holding back revenge. Later, Franz Joseph offended Russia in the Crimean War. As a result, the Holy League completely turned into a joke, and Prussia and Russia later joined forces to cause a heavy loss.

If it weren’t for Bismarck to be a real politician, he didn’t chase Austria carefully~www.wuxiax.com~ Otherwise, there would be no Austro-Hungarian Empire, and the Habsburg family’s control of Eastern Europe might be half earlier. The century will collapse, and Austria will be completely dismembered and reduced to a second-rate European country.

And now the Duke of Alexander has seen the dishonesty of the Prussians. He knows that as the Prime Minister of Austria at this time, the most correct way is to have a good talk with the Prussians. If the problem can be solved through negotiation, it would be best. At least there is no need to ask for Russian intervention and pressure later.

What’s more, being a member of the German state, Prussia and Austria will naturally be profitable if they are brothers, and they can also counter Russia’s unreasonable demands. After all, Russia can suppress Austria or Prussia, but it cannot suppress Prussia and Austria at the same time. If Prussia and Austria can form a small group, they can really bargain with Russia in order to better protect their own interests.

However, Schwarzenberg did not do any of these, or he was unaware of Prussian ambitions and small actions. This also shows that his political sense is not very keen, or that he still has the Prussian side of the Austrian elite. Thoughts, maybe I still look down on Prussia!
