Chapter 463 Is It an Alliance?

Under the Ministry of Foreign Affairs building, more than a hundred people gathered, took out the signs that had been prepared, and shouted: "Protest", "Protest"...

There were also reporters from various European countries waiting for the results of the meeting in the building, and they were all excited at this time. Photographers are busy adjusting their cameras to record this historical scene.

Without any hesitation, Wesenberg immediately ordered a crackdown. After receiving the name, the police who came after hearing the news rushed forward with batons without courtesy, and dealt with the demonstrators as quickly as possible.

The protesters are gone, and Austria has lost face. This premeditated demonstration made the international conference embarrassing.

The protests of the Italians did not affect the outcome of the conference. In the case of the same position of France and Austria, the General Assembly quickly adopted a new international law that divides regions according to cultural traditions.

To some extent, this law is also beneficial to the British. They can use this as a basis to bring the English-speaking area into their sphere of influence.

The foreign powers are usually not very shameful. Even this international convention has many versions of interpretation, which is a deliberate loophole left by everyone.

When needed, you can interpret it according to the aspects that are most in line with your own interests, so as to obtain the greatest benefits.

International conventions are a double standard for both big and small countries. If a little far-fetched, it can also become one of the foundations for the legalization of the colonies.

The goal was achieved, but Wesenberg was not at all happy. The sudden appearance of protesters greatly damaged the reputation of the Vienna government.

Confidentiality is impossible. Representatives of so many countries, as well as journalists from major European newspapers, are not obliged to keep secrets for Austria.

Wesenberg could only hope that the people under him responded quickly enough that the reporters did not take pictures, otherwise the trouble would be even greater.

Things have happened, and the lid must not be able to hide it. It is impossible for Wesenberg to send someone to inspect the camera equipment of the journalists, which the Vienna government still needs.

Of course, without the presence of diplomatic representatives from various countries, it is impossible to say. It is the code of conduct of the foreign powers to watch people cook.

After seeing off the guests, Wesenberg's smiling face was gone. With a gloomy face, he said: "Send someone to ask the Vienna Police Department what's going on, why did a group of people suddenly appear to disrupt the situation?"

The investigation has nothing to do with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, but when it comes to diplomacy, Wesenberg has to intervene.

He didn't think that the Vienna Police Department would approve today's parade, and that it was possible to hide from the police system and gather such a group of people. There must be a problem behind it.

Italian states also sent representatives, but none of them came out to oppose it, so it would be meaningless to plan this farce.

Even a tenfold increase in protests would have no effect. It is impossible for Austria to terminate the plan because of the opposition of the Italians.

In the end, only the international reputation of the Vienna government is damaged, but reputation is not equal to strength. As long as the strength is strong enough, no one dares to provoke even its reputation.

Now Austria's reputation among the major powers is still good, with Britain, France and Russia as a foil, no matter how bad it is, it will not be bad.

It's a big deal to be scolded by international people for "tyranny", anyway, it doesn't matter what they say, no matter how the Austrian government has official media, it's a big deal to fight.

Tomorrow, in the Vienna newspapers, there will be news that lawbreakers colluded with foreign forces to attack international conferences.

A middle-aged security guard immediately replied: "Yes, Minister!"

Wesenberg didn't stop and drove directly to the palace. In addition to such a big thing, it still needs to be reported to the emperor.

This Franz had been informed and was scolding the Minister of Police on the phone.

No matter who the opponent is, the enemy can actually organize hundreds of people to do things in Vienna, and the police don't know anything about it?

Is this not malpractice? As long as you are a little more vigilant, you can intercept them in advance, and there will be no jokes.

Franz didn't think the other party was willing to send hundreds of spies to do things. The value of a spy lies in the hidden darkness, and once exposed, it is dead.

The groups that come out to protest now obviously cannot have core figures, and most of them are fools who have been fooled.

Austria is not France, unreported demonstrations are illegal activities, and the charge of exile is enough.

Disgusting the Vienna government, it is strange not to be exiled to a land of poor mountains and bad waters. Maybe it will be thrown on an uninhabited island in the Arctic Ocean, and it will be accompanied by snow and ice all day.

Of course, it is more likely to be frozen to death. The glacial world with dozens of degrees below zero all year round is not something that ordinary people can survive. Don't underestimate the revenge of the bureaucrats.

Smart people are hiding in the dark and remote control. Even if they submit a petition to the Vienna government, it is better than going up directly.

The former is a legal act, and even if the Vienna government does not accept it, they will not be in trouble; the latter is a crime, and it is impossible for the bureaucrats who are affected by the official career to let them go.

Franz doesn't care about the lives of these people. He was angry that the police did not have enough control over Vienna, and that this obviously abnormal situation was not discovered.

Today, hundreds of people can suddenly appear under the Ministry of Foreign Affairs building. Does that mean that there may be a sudden revolt of hundreds of people one day?

The number of "100 people" is not small. Most of the revolutions in Europe did not have 100 people when they first revolted.

If so many people suddenly broke out at a critical moment, the losses would be incalculable.

"There are always bad people who want to harm me", many people have this kind of thinking, and it will be more serious as an emperor. Franz never dared to take it lightly.

When Wesenberg arrived at the palace, things were almost done. The arrested person has confessed under police interrogation.

It is not only Italians who participated in this illegal activity. After all, there are not many Italians in Vienna, and it is not easy to gather hundreds of people.

The results of the interrogation showed that the protest was organized by five Italian students, and most of the rest were hired temporarily with high salaries. The person who gave them information was a middle-aged man named Robinson.

The clues are broken here. The information about "Robinson", these two teenagers know nothing, they met in the "Flying" bar by accident.

These unlucky bastards were fooled by people they just met. In order to ensure the territorial integrity of Italy, they decided to fight hard.

The participants were all hired on the day of the event. Naturally, the Vienna police did not have time to receive the news. Before the enthusiastic people reported the incident, the incident had already happened.

Franz was very dissatisfied with the results of this investigation. Without even knowing who was behind the scenes, the Vienna government was in a state of utter embarrassment, which is simply shameful.

Franz frowned and asked, "Taron, haven't you received the news?"

The intelligence chief, Tyron, immediately replied: "The preliminary judgment is that this Robinson is a pseudonym, and the first time he appeared was in the Feike bar, which is the first place to meet these idiots.

Before and after, they had a total of three contacts, all in this bar. We had already sent people to contact the staff at the time, and a bartender offered a clue that Robinson's beard was glued on.

Now with the portraits described by the parties, it is difficult to find this Robinson. There are too few clues at the moment, we need time. "

Professional spies are not easy to deal with. Without monitoring, it is a mixed place like a bar. It is really difficult to find someone.

Even Robinson appeared aboveboard, and no one knew who he was. Under normal circumstances, this kind of spy has a cover for work on the surface, and it is difficult to develop abnormally on the surface.

It is not easy to get preliminary clues in such a short period of time.

Franz said fiercely: "Continue to investigate, don't let any clues go, this hidden danger will not be eliminated, it will be a scourge sooner or later."

It's easy to guess who is behind the scenes, there are only two or three of them anyway. In terms of acting style, the enemy is very cunning, leaving no valuable clues, very much like John Bull's handwriting.

Fao reached an agreement that the British were powerless to prevent the Italian region from being redefined, and it was normal to come out and destroy it at this time.

Only one spy was dispatched, and this incident was provoked by flickering. Almost without paying any price, Austria was caught in a whirlpool of public opinion.

"Like" does not mean "yes". International politics has always been true and false, false and true, and many times what the eyes see will deceive people.

Now it can only be said that the British are the most suspect. They have both the motive and the strength to commit the crime, as well as a lot of criminal records.

This cannot rule out that other countries deliberately framed the British as a fellow, and Franz often did similar things.

Before "Robinson" is caught, it is difficult to make an accurate judgment on this issue. Franz doesn't like to follow his feelings, he always follows his interests.

It is in Austria's best interest to hold whoever is responsible for this, and then the murderer will point to whom. This is also the reason why conspiracy is basically easy to succeed, but conspiracy is difficult to achieve.

As long as the benefits obtained are large enough, Franz is willing even if it is calculated. In international politics, Austria, like the British, is all aligned with interests.

...

The case is not over yet, a sudden change made the case confusing again.

British Foreign Secretary Maclean's issued an official diplomatic note to Austria, proposing that Britain, France and Austria form an alliance to jointly maintain world peace and stability.

The latter sentence can be skipped directly. The British have never had anything to do with peace. As long as they don't do anything, the European continent will be much more peaceful.

The focus is on the "alliance". Franz's first reaction to the news was: the Fao alliance was exposed.

The matter that can make the British look down and take the initiative to win over the two countries to form an alliance, apart from the "Fao secret agreement", Franz does not think that anyone else is qualified to give them this pressure.

Originally, the Fa-Australian Alliance was full of contradictions. Now that a British is added, how long this alliance can exist is a question worth thinking about.

Franz hesitated and asked directly: "What is the attitude of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, do you think we should form an alliance with the British?"

This decision is difficult to make, the interests involved are too broad, and the pros and cons must be carefully weighed. Especially in alliance with the British, you should be vigilant and add three points.

The stressed Wesenberg said cautiously: "Your Majesty, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs believes that it is still necessary to discuss this matter with Britain and France to see how much benefit we can get, and then decide whether to form an alliance or not."

The alliance of Britain, France and Austria obviously has a lot of benefits. At least on the issue of dividing up the world, everyone can discuss behind closed doors.

There are advantages and disadvantages, and the contradictions between the three countries are an important factor hindering the alliance.

These contradictions are not resolved, or are temporarily suppressed. Then even if an alliance is formed, everyone will

Because of differences in interests, this alliance will become a dead end.

Sincere cooperation, Franz never expected. The three kingdoms of Britain, France and Austria are the protagonists of this era, and there is no foreign enemy that can make the three countries form an alliance.

Everyone fighting alone is the existence of the overlord, and there is no real need to form an alliance at all. This made Franz's expectations for an alliance not high, presumably the same for Britain and France.

If there is no conflict of interest between everyone, then it is not impossible to form an alliance. The reality is just the opposite. The mainstream international contradictions in this era are: Anglo-French Conflict, Anglo-Austrian Conflict, Prussian-Russian Conflict, Anglo-Russian Conflict.

It is not so simple to reconcile the contradictions between Britain, France and Austria, unless the British are willing to make major concessions and not make troubles on the European continent.
