I send the system behind the scenes

France: Napoleon once brought great glory to France, but also put on the shackles for France.

This man who once made Europe tremble still makes Europe fearful after his death. The anti-French alliance was not abolished by the death of Napoleon. Europe still isolates France and is afraid of France's comeback.

France has had enough of the isolation and blockade of the anti-French Four-Power Alliance Treaty. How to break the isolation and integrate France into Europe again is the primary issue that France has to face.

Russia's crazy westward expansion gave France an opportunity to break its isolation - causing internal strife among the four countries.

Britain and Prussia (Germany) are too close to France, and Russia is far away from France. So France believes that the best situation is to unite with Britain in Turkey to fight Russia together.

As soon as the war starts, the "Four-Nation Alliance Treaty" will become a piece of waste paper.

Moreover, the fight against Russia is an anti-aggression war. Morally speaking, France is just. It is beneficial to France's integration into the circle of European powers, not to mention that it can show goodwill to the world hegemon, Britain.

This war did absolutely no harm to France, because no matter how hard it was fought, it could not reach French territory.

Therefore, France has a strong willingness to start a war and hopes to bring Britain into the water.

-------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------

Turkey: The full name is the Ottoman Turkish Empire. It was once extremely powerful, but now it is gradually declining.

The war with Russia has been fought eight times. It is called the Russo-Turkish War in history. The result is that Russia loses more and more territory and Turkey declines more and more.

In the face of Russia's westward expansion, Turkey was the direct victim. It wanted to resist, but it lacked strength. The treaty proposed by Russia was too harsh and Turkey could not accept it.

Therefore, Turkey had to go to war and hoped that powerful countries would intervene to help resist Russia.

-------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------

Russia: An empire with a huge territory and expanding westward, but it lacks a good outlet to the sea.

The eight Russo-Turkish wars have made Russia deeply aware of Turkey's weakness, and at the same time it has an almost paranoid greed for the weakened Turkish territory.

This time, Russia has set its sights on the Second Strait of Turkey. By occupying Crimea, Russia will have a year-round ice-free port on the Black Sea that occupies a huge geographical advantage, which will benefit Russia beyond imagination.

Therefore, Russia has a strong desire for war and wants to use war to plunder land as before.

-------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------

The war background of each country is roughly the same. Each country has its own interests and wants to resort to war. Among them, France dances the most happily. France really wants to break the European blockade against it.

So France lobbied Britain frantically, and was even willing to give up Egypt's interests to Britain, so that Britain would agree to join France in supporting Turkey and fighting Russia.

With the support of Britain and France, Turkey has become stronger and dares to confront Russia.

Under such circumstances, the Crimean War broke out.

Not long after the war broke out, Russia was confused. Something was wrong. Before the war started, it thought it was the ninth Russo-Turkish War. Why did Britain and France participate in the war one after another?

Russia vaguely smelled a hint of conspiracy, but Russia did not panic because Russia also had allies, Prussia and Austria. Russia believed that the allies of the Holy Alliance would not sit idly by.

Hey, guess what, Prussia and Austria really just sat back and did nothing, officially announcing that the two countries were neutral.

At this time, Russia woke up like a dream, something was wrong, very wrong, and it was calculated.

The war has been going on for several months, with more and more enemies fighting, and with 0 allies, I have to fight a bunch of them one by one.

By August 1854, Russia no longer had any hope of victory in the war and hoped to negotiate peace with Britain and France.

At this time, let’s review the interest demands of each country before the war and guess what the attitude of each country is.

The first is Britain. Before the war, the purpose was to weaken Russia, but now the Russian war is just a battlefield defeat, and its military strength has not been greatly reduced. The British did not achieve their goal and refused to cease the war.

Then there is France. The purpose before the war started was to break the blockade, but at the moment the war started, France's purpose had been achieved and the blockade had been broken, so France subjectively agreed to the armistice.

But Britain is strong. France does not want to annoy the world hegemon just after breaking the blockade. Franco-British cooperation is very important, so follow the British attitude. France also refuses to armistice.

Finally, Turkey, as a direct victim, Russia was deflated, which made Turkey very happy, and boldly had new ideas, what ideas?

Take back the lost land.

Turkey hopes that Britain and France will continue to support and help me recover the lost land, so it refuses to cease the war.

The three main participating countries on the opposite side do not want to cease the war, but they are too embarrassed to say so because they want to be civilized.

Therefore, the armistice treaty given to Russia by the three countries was extremely harsh and made Russia spit out all its interests in the past 30 years, which was unacceptable to Russia.

Therefore, as the war continues, Russia must achieve a decent ending to the war.

This is the brief situation in Europe during the Northern Expedition of the New Ming Dynasty.

Without Shin Ming, the Crimean War would have lasted until 1856, ending with Russia's defeat.

But now, Britain, the main participant in the war, suffered a disastrous defeat in the Far East, and its military strength was seriously damaged.

This time, the attitudes of all the participating countries in the Crimean War became interesting.

Some people may ask, why did Britain go to Asia to open another battlefield when it was fighting in Europe?

Isn’t this a distraction?It doesn't make sense to not concentrate on fighting Russia and divide the troops.

This is a misunderstanding in thinking. Fighting on two fronts is of course an irrational behavior and should be avoided as much as possible. But if you put it another way, it costs money to fight in Europe and make money from robbing in Asia. Wouldn't this be more reasonable?

Britain went to Asia not to fight, but to rob and extort.

It costs money to fight Russia, and it would be great to have a Qing country in the east that can extract money and subsidize military expenditures.

Is this a problem?No problem, the British cabinet is happy to die, stealing money, who is not active.

But who would have thought that once the expeditionary navy left, it would never come back and was destroyed by the Xinming Regiment.

Who is this Britain looking for to cry to? Just bear it. What else can you do? Xin Ming is greedy to death.

So, not long after the Russian peace talks were rejected and the Crimean War resumed, guess what the attitudes of various countries were after learning that the British ocean-going navy was completely wiped out.
