2942 Shakes the whole of Europe
Most of the people's attention is focused on the lively war, but the sufferings of the people of other countries have become a topic of guidance in the eyes of these people who watch the fun.
In just one day, this shocking news has spread throughout major cities in Europe.
Needless to say, the German Federal Republic of China held celebrations, and the people flocked to the streets to change their old-fashioned image and began to sing and dance under the anesthesia of beer.
All German states were glad that they made the right choice, especially Bavaria, who almost made the wrong bet. If they put the chips on Napoleon III, they would probably lose all their money at this moment.
The Bavarian Parliament temporarily added £4 million in military expenditure without the approval of the king and launched the third national recruitment.
They knew very well that there was nothing to fight in the battles that followed, and that everything they did now was to show loyalty to the Prussians, which was the icing on the cake of helplessness.
All the conscription stations were once again full, and the various states in southern Germany almost drained all the reserve troops. If it weren't for the temporary termination of the third conscription, the number of German coalition forces attacking France would have exceeded three million.
Years of tolerance finally brought about the avenge of today. The feat of defeating France made the unity of the German nation unprecedentedly high, and the conditions for forming a unified German nationalist country with Prussia as the core finally ripe.
All the gatherings, all newspapers, and all scholars almost unanimously supported the establishment of the German nation-state, and the people almost chose national unity.
War is indeed a powerful tool for nationalism. A fierce victory cleared all obstacles. The strategy of Pesme finally reached the harvest.
While the Germans were celebrating, the rest of Europe fell into a very complicated mood. Austria was jealous, and they were extremely jealous.
Originally, the Habsburg dynasty was the banner of the German nation, and Zhengshuo was already there, but now the Prussians have completely lost their appeal to the German nation by doing this.
Some pessimistic analysts may even believe that as the Prussian Empire becomes stronger, the German-speaking areas in Austria may become disinterested, and there may be a terrible situation of being separated from the incorporation into Prussia in the future.
Even Austria, which is similar to Prussian culture, is scared, let alone other European countries. Almost all monarchs are silent and dare not make any remarks for a while.
They thought this war would be a loss-making ending, and these countries even made plans to make profits between the snipe and the clam.
When the war falls into the quagmire, they come out to be mediators and can even beat the dogs who fall into the water. Those who have revenge will take revenge and those who have revenge will be wronged!
Unexpectedly, the Prussians slapped their backhand, which made their faces so painful. As soon as the Tsarist Russia in the north received the latest information, it immediately withdrew all the Baltic fleets, and all warships entered the military port to retreat.
The Tsarist Russian diplomats who were connected in many countries suddenly lost their voices. Not to mention attacking Prussia, even the Chinese people dare not say anything.
As for European countries such as Sweden, Norway, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, etc., they can only pay serious attention at this moment. Their eyes are not only staring at France but also at Britain.
When the war reaches this point, what attitude will the UK have, basically determines the main theme of international public opinion in the future.
But what else can Britain say now? All judgments are beyond the expectations of the British. No one in the UK's top leaders guessed the direction of this war!
Just as the city of London was sending a notice, a secret meeting was held in Buckingham Palace, and the queen was very dissatisfied with the current situation.
"Tell me! Tell me about your previous judgment... Now that such a result has occurred, who will give the country an explanation?" the queen said in a cold tone.
Gladstone, Crown Prince Edward, Duke of Newcastle, Marshal Wallsley... More than a dozen senior executives stood in front of the queen and were respectful, and many of them were nervous and sweaty on their foreheads.
Gladstone took out his handkerchief and wiped his forehead. He was the leader who was carrying an unshirkable responsibility compared to the current situation!
"Your Majesty... Please calm down your anger. The current situation is not irreversible. I suggest that you give the Royal Family a political refuge immediately. As long as the Bonaparte family is controlled by us, there will definitely be a possibility of restoration in the future!"
Gladstone's regretful heartbroken at this moment, and he made a serious mistake in his judgment of the situation. Britain's highest strategic idea for this war was to sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight.
Let Prussia drag France to death, and make the gap between the second and first place wider. At the same time, Prussia will also suffer a lot of losses in strength through this war.
It is best if both sides tie, both sides consume great national strength, thereby increasing the distance between them and the United Kingdom!
The gap between the first and second and third places is getting bigger and bigger, so that the UK will be safer!
Previously, Gladstone judged that the Prussians would have the advantage in the short term but the weakness in the long term. They still tended to be France in judging the national strength of both sides.
They even judged that France would be beaten badly at the beginning, but as long as they survived the chaos at the beginning and waited for Napoleon III to officially launch the country's war potential, the Prussians would have a hard time.
In order to allow the Prussians to persist longer, the Prime Minister and Crown Prince Edward even launched the City of London to raise funds for Prussia many times.
But I didn't expect that Napoleon III was actually a weak chicken. He was defeated for less than two months, and even he was captured in a prisoner of war camp.
All British strategic analysts misunderstood. They thought Prussia was a newly armed bobcat, but they didn't expect that they had become a beautiful tiger!
The queen glared at Gladstone, "Do I want you to remind me? The Royal Navy has sent a ship to protect Queen Eugenie, and Prince Eugen has arrived in the UK in advance yesterday..."
"What I want to ask now is how to deal with this annoying republic, and how we should deal with the sudden rise of Prussia!"
"Will our UK interests be damaged? What I want is a specific plan..."
Crown Prince Edward had to stop talking at this time. In fact, he also had an unshirkable responsibility for the current situation, because he and Gladstone's early judgment were consistent.
The crown prince quickly said, "I'll go there temporarily in Prussia. You can meet in the neutral Netherlands... I'll explore the foundation of Prussia first..."
"William I and Carl are not fools. They can understand our strength. I don't think they have other ambitions!"
"The key now is Besmai! After this war, his reputation has almost caught up with the king, I am afraid he has ambitions!"
Queen Victoria looked at her son coldly, "Not only Pesme, but Xiao Lotte's attitude is also very important... After this war, he really became the God of War in Asia!"
