Chapter 431 Godson

With the conclusion of the London Peace Conference, the European continent finally ushered in a short-lived peace. If you have not experienced war, you will never know the horror of war.

As the victor of this war, William I did not show much joy. From a territorial point of view, the Kingdom of Prussia is now almost the same as the German Empire in the original time and space, and the total population has also exceeded the 20 million mark.

None of these gains can hide the fact that the military has grown bigger. Without Bismarck, the government cannot suppress the military at all.

The balance of power has been broken, which is not a good thing for the emperor. William I's political mind was still very clever, and he did not play any tricks of "birds hide their bows, rabbits die and dogs cook".

In the Berlin Palace, William I announced new appointments: "Prime Minister Frank was unwell and resigned as Prime Minister, and now Marshal Moltke takes over."

If it can't be suppressed, it will be divided and disintegrated. Mao Qi is very good at fighting with soldiers, but his political means are far behind, and he is completely slaughtered in the position of prime minister.

No matter how high the prestige is now, as long as you make mistakes later, you will still be pulled down, and the prestige gained in the war will be gone.

In ordinary countries, it is impossible for a military marshal to be prime minister. The line between civil and military is enough to block all this, but this is the Kingdom of Prussia, and it is completely normal for a military general to be the prime minister.

William I used a conspiracy, and the position will change if the identity changes. Unless Mao Qi is willing to make a rubber stamp, sooner or later, he will suppress the military.

Power struggles are brutal, and many times they are out of their own hands. When they were military bosses, they could use the government with peace of mind; when they became the head of the government, the situation was different.

...

Compared with the harmony of the power struggle in the Kingdom of Prussia, the Russian Empire next door is completely different. After the treaty was signed, the army in the hands of the tsar began to arrest people everywhere.

The reckoning is still here after the autumn. These days, Alexander II is not in vain. Basically, everything that can be found out has been found out. In the front, I held back from the attack, and just waited for this time to calculate the total account together.

For a time, the prisons in St. Petersburg were overcrowded. A large number of assholes were caught, making the bureaucrats panic.

If the investigation is strictly followed, the bureaucrats of the tsarist government can be arrested if one counts one.

Even if there is no crime, they are on the road to crime. The word wronged is superfluous, the bureaucracy of the tsarist government is rotten.

Alexander II was not a middle school boy, so naturally he would not want to kill all the bureaucrats. This is very unrealistic.

Now they are all the culprits that led to the failure of the war. Someone needs to be responsible for the defeat. Alexander II is not going to find a scapegoat, so it is their turn to bear it.

The Winter Palace, looking at the criminals who are constantly being arrested, Alexander II has a headache. Most of these people are nobles, and they cannot be killed by convention.

Many times there are problems, and it is not all the fault of the chief officials. They get one point from it, and the people below will get three points.

Some unremarkable low-level government employees have corrupted more than their chief officials. And the more corrupt it is at the grassroots level, the more you have to consider the consequences when you get to the top.

All killed, that's not realistic. These little trash fish are not ordinary people, at least they are middle class. The social impact of killing them is too bad.

Moreover, killing these people is of little use, and the collapse of the Russian Empire still cannot be changed.

Chancellor of the Exchequer Christan Wahl proposed: "Your Majesty, go into exile! We have to use political means to disintegrate the rebels, and now is not the time to start a massacre."

This is the most helpless solution for the tsarist government, and it is also the most effective solution. However, due to insufficient supervision, these exiled guys came back and overthrew the tsarist government.

The existence of the rebels saved these scumbags. In order to reassure the rebels to surrender boldly, Alexander II had to pretend to be merciful.

Rebellion is no better than corruption, which will kill the nobles. No matter how high your status is, you may be wiped out if you participate in the rebellion.

After hesitating for a while, Alexander II made a decision: "Let's recover all the stolen money first, and then exile these bastards to the worst environment in Siberia."

Exile is also skillful. Most of Siberia has a harsh climate of ice and snow, but it does not mean that there is no good place.

For example, the condition of Novosibirsk is relatively good. Of course, it has not developed yet, it is just a small town.

Another example: Oymyakon is another extreme. The lowest temperature in winter can usually reach -71 degrees below zero, and there has even been a good weather of -96.2 degrees below zero, which turns it into a popsicle.

Obviously, Alexander II hated these people and was ready to freeze them to death.

...

When Alexander II was cleaning up the worms, the battle for the Polish throne also intensified, spreading across the European continent and even affecting the court of Vienna.

Poland is a big country, and its ancestors were awesome. There are many people who are interested in this crown, including many people within the Habsburg family who have expressed interest, including Franz's two younger brothers.

This unpleasant hobby was soon suppressed by Franz. The reason he gave was very simple - do you want to be the king of a subjugated country?

In an instant, everyone reacted, and suddenly remembered the terrible situation of the Kingdom of Poland. There were three branches of Poland in the last century, is it difficult to do it again now?

The Pope Union This is a joke, once

The Russian Empire has regained its vitality, and there will be a war between the two sides.

There are still few people who are optimistic that the Pubo alliance can win, and not every war can find so many allies.

In this war in Eastern Europe, if there were no British behind it, not only would Poland not be able to become independent, but even the Kingdom of Prussia would become history.

Will they be so lucky in the next war? If the war was lost, Poland would be doomed.

Everyone's enthusiasm was directly extinguished, and the negative teaching material of Massimiliano is still there. If you didn't listen to the advice and went to serve as the emperor of Mexico, everyone knew exactly what life was like now.

If one day Massimiliano is suddenly ousted from the stage, everyone will not be surprised at all, since it is a negative teaching material, it will not have any good results.

To appease the inside, Franz ignored the disputes outside. No matter who becomes the king of Poland, he will take over a mess, and there is no way to lead Poland to rise.

If you look at the map, you will know that the Russian Empire is to the east, Austria is to the southwest, and the Kingdom of Prussia is to the north. The three kingdoms just surrounded them to death.

Merging with the Kingdom of Prussia to form a federal empire was actually their best option. However, Da Bobo couldn't accept it in his heart, and this road was not easy to walk.

Secondly, they can only die to the Russian Empire, penetrate the Ukraine region all the way, occupy this black land, and obtain the foundation of a powerful country.

It's almost like a dream, and Franz doesn't think the Poles can do it anyway. This requires not only military victory, but also superb political and diplomatic means.

The last resort is to hug your thighs, the Russian Empire is destined to be an enemy, and there is nothing to say. If Poland wants to protect itself, it can only maintain good relations with European countries.

The two neighbors of Puo and Austria are even more critical. Only when the relations with the two countries are properly handled can they have a chance of survival.

In line with the principle that political education should start from a child, the Polish problem has become a real case of Franz's godson. Mainly to teach the eldest son Frederick, the other three little guys are too small.

The youngest George was born in 1865 and is only 2 years old now, and politics is still too far away from him.

In fact, Frederick is not very old, and he is only 11 years old now. If he was born in an ordinary family, he is now a primary school student.

In fact, Franz didn't know whether he could accept that he had studied politics so early.

But if you don't teach it, you can't do it. If you are led astray, just like the second brother Massimiliano has become an idealist, then it will be a complete bullshit.

"Frederick, I will test you now. If you were the king of Poland, what would you do now?"

Faced with this tricky question, Frederick gave an answer that Franz could not have imagined.

"Why don't you do it?"

Seeing that Franz did not respond, Frederick added: "I mean abdication!"

Franz did not object or agree, and asked, "What's the reason?"

Frederick shook his head and said, "I don't know what the King of Poland should do and what he can do! If that's the case, it's better to let it go."

This is also the answer, at least it saves itself. Franz smiled and said nothing.

To save themselves in advance, this is the concept Franz instilled in them since childhood. It's unclear how much role Franz can now resist the temptation to not touch the right.

Many people know that they cannot do it, and this idealism is worthy of praise. But in the royal family, it was a disaster.

Franz continued to ask: "Then what about the King of Prussia, you won't continue to let go, will you?"

The situation of the Kingdom of Prussia is much better than that of Poland. It has defeated the Russian William I in full swing, and the popular sentiment index is at least 90+ (calculated from a total of 100).

Frederick thought for a while and said, "Don't think about living and developing the domestic economy. Prussia has gained too many benefits in this war and needs to be digested.

It must also be fast, to complete the internal integration before the Russian Empire slows down, and it is possible to win the second Russian-Prussian War. "

Franz said with a smile: "Yes, I finally know that I have struggled, and I will retreat if nothing happens.

But that's not enough, it's important to develop oneself. Fighting the enemy is just as important, you can keep an eye on William I, he will never watch the Russians recover.

Chances are, you still have a chance to see the Popo merger. Of course, this also depends on whether William I's political means are enough. "

Frederick shook his head, full of doubts. The merger of the two countries, what kind of operation is this?

Isn't everyone opposed to the merger of the two countries? What did the Kingdom of Prussia take to merge Poland? Not only European countries are against it, but even the Poles are against it. Is this merger useful?

Franz did not continue to explain. What he observed himself was far more effective than what others told directly.

Taking the international situation as a teaching material and taking the monarchs of various countries as examples is Franz's way of teaching children.

Whether it is a positive example or a negative example, the one who has personally experienced it is the deepest impression.

Learn their strengths, summarize their weaknesses, and learn from them. This is both teaching children and Franz learning by himself.
