Welcome to 19th-century Europe, where strength reigns supreme

Tina didn't sleep well that night. At this distance, the two of them were almost touching each other. At first, Tina was a little resistant and her expression was very reluctant.

But in the second half of the night, Tina had completely surrendered. She might as well enjoy herself. She might be the only person in the country who could sleep with August.

At eight o'clock in the morning, Valentina opened the curtains, and dazzling sunlight poured into the room.

"Miss Tina, Miss August..."

Tina met Valentina's eyes, and the scene felt inexplicably like being caught and raped in bed, "Valentina?"

"How far have you progressed?"

"Hey?"

........

"No wonder Miss August didn't go home yesterday. Do you like this? But this is not good. If you like office play, you should get a bigger sofa, otherwise it will be uncomfortable. What if it falls? manage?"

Valentina said seriously, a little too seriously, which made Tina a little embarrassed.

"Can I say it was an accident?"

"Oh, the accident happened on the bed. Obviously I have never slept in Miss August's bed..."

What's going on with this smell of vinegar? Tina felt a sense of crisis. This guy wouldn't want to steal my wife from me, right? But when I think about it, it seems that Valentina has been with Auguste for a longer time, and she often stays next to Auguste. Since her workplace is at the General Staff Headquarters, she doesn't have to go out to work.

There is a risk of taking advantage of the situation, so you have to be a little careful.

"Tina? Are you awake already?" August rubbed his eyes. Is it really uncomfortable to lie on the sofa, or a soft big bed?

When she woke up, she saw Tina and Valentina looking at each other, "Um, maybe I didn't come at the right time?"

Valentina and Tina said at the same time, "No, you came at the right time."

After the small farce in the morning, August and Tina returned to working mode. The negotiations after the Prussian-Danish War have brought the conflict between Prussia and Austria to the table. The two powerful countries in Germany will eventually confront each other. Killing, and only the victor can become the true German Empire.

August said to Tina, "The Prussian-Austrian War is inevitable, but it cannot be now. There will be at least a window of one or two years. Prussia's food preparation operations during the war with Denmark made all the powers laugh. It’s very unfavorable to face Austria in this state.”

This is similar to Tina's idea. She doesn't want to fall out with Austria too early. First of all, the British are not trustworthy. Although Britain and Prussia are close allies on the surface, in fact everyone knows what the British think.

Due to geographical reasons, Prussia is in a land of four wars and has conflicts with the surrounding countries. It can fight on its own, but not many. It is okay to fight in a one-on-one battle, but if it is attacked from both sides, it will probably have to be sent, and it is such a The country lies in the middle of Europe. Russia will conflict with it if it wants to expand, and France will also conflict with it if it wants to expand. Moreover, its location means that it is difficult for it to develop a powerful fleet.

Even if Prussia really built a naval fleet, and the Denmark Strait could choke Prussia's neck, the Royal Fleet only needed to blockade the English Channel and the North Sea. No matter how strong the Prussian fleet was, it would be difficult to defeat the British fleet.

During the Seven Years' War, Britain used Prussia to check and balance France and Austria, causing France to lose Canada and India, and burning the French hegemony established by the Sun King Louis XIV.

The British also took advantage of the wind and acquired most of the Americas and the entire India, truly becoming an empire on which the sun never sets. However, Britain's inhumane behavior during the war made the thirteen states of North America unhappy. After the Seven Years' War, After thirteen years, he went out independently and established the United States.

The United Kingdom believes that the United States is not a big threat. Compared with this rising star, only established powers can make the United Kingdom pay attention. This mistake will cause the United Kingdom to lose its position as the world's hegemon, and the United Kingdom is not vigilant enough about this.

What Victoria hopes is to maintain the status quo forever. In her strategy, Prussia should defeat Austria and form Germany, but Austria must continue to exist. She has always had a negative attitude towards the Greater Germany plan. In her view, the Austrian Empire is a check and balance against Russia. and an important force in Germany.

France is the force that checks and balances Spain and Germany. She only needs to carefully control the situation. If Prussia establishes a strong and unified Greater Germany, then the balance of power will be completely reversed. The population of the Greater German Empire will then be France's. More than twice that, which is dangerous.

Although it’s not a good idea to say this, Victoria’s idea is a very normal idea of ​​British politicians. If they can’t participate in the struggle for European hegemony, then they simply don’t compete for hegemony. Everyone should stop competing for hegemony. So when the United States rises, There was no way for Europe to produce a strong political system other than the Soviet Union that could confront it, and it eventually became a vassal in the confrontation between the two sides.

The British are definitely the biggest culprits in this matter. He likes to stir things up and ended up playing with fire and burning himself.

Lillian was an unstable factor that caused Britain to change course. August decided to support her in seizing British power and establishing her ideal imperial federation. She would in turn support Germany's European hegemony, and then work together with the United States. , Japanese fur bear.

Of course, it’s hard to say who will succeed. August is not sure that he will definitely succeed. At worst, if there is no other way in the later stage, he will engage in anti-war propaganda and stop fighting. The Cold War would be great. If everyone has money, we can go crazy together. , engage in rockets and aviation, all I have is money. It will be no problem to maintain the territory of Little Germany until the [-]th century and become a regional power in Europe.

The British imperial federation feels quite awkward. Don't lose Ireland even if it is successful.

But the more realistic problem now is how to deceive both principalities.

Tina: "Austria also wants this land, and so does Prussia. If we want to divide it, we have to find a better way to make Austria accept it."

Although she was very brave when they quarreled in the conference hall, even Tina had the idea of ​​​​compromising in this situation, and August said, "What if we only want Schleswig? Doesn't Austria agree?"

"According to previous treaties, Schleswig and Holstein cannot be separated. For this reason, neither of us can annex one of the principalities."

"Military occupation would be fine. We are not annexing Schleswig in name. It is just a military strategy. In fact, can't it still be included in our territory?"

"Then how to make Austria compromise? They also want these two principalities, and almost everyone in their country is saying that Austria has made such a big sacrifice and should get more. If Reina signs this treaty, then he may have to Forced to resign."

"Then force them to sign!"
