MTL - The War Court and Lap Pillow, Austria’s Mandate of Heaven-v3 Chapter 63 Scabies
【War court and knee pillow, Austria's destiny】【】
For the sake of the long-term peace and stability of the eastern border of Austria, Franz deliberately divided the Bosnian region into East and West, and thought that his ingenious design kept the three-legged situation inside.
Of course, he has never neglected how important the two Near Eastern forces of Ottoman and Russia are to maintaining the fragile balance of the Balkan Peninsula. This is why Austria made concessions and compromises to the two countries at the Five-Nation Conference and the previous secret talks in Istanbul.
But the direction of history is always so elusive and full of charm. For example, Milosh Obrenovich I, who was supposed to withdraw from the stage of history, completed punching the seventeen-member parliament with the help of the British. , the difficult task of kicking the Russian puppet Vucic and successfully suppressing the uprising of the Bosnians backed by the Ottomans, reuniting Serbia.
In fact, it is not difficult to understand after careful analysis. Although the Serbia region has continued the excellent matching mechanism in the Balkans in history, its political situation is relatively stable, and the seventeen-member parliament has also thoroughly attacked the Milos faction. Years before the restoration.
But at this time, due to Franz's policy of dividing the east and the west, plus the relocation of the Serbian capital from Belgrade to Sarajevo, and the previous battles, the strength and influence of the seventeen-member council were not as good as before.
And the new Grand Duke Mikhail they elected to power was the son of Milosh, so the former who thought he had the last laugh became the weakest link.
Vucic, who is supported by the Russians, should have been the biggest winner of this reshuffle. However, in view of the fact that the major differences between Britain and Russia on the Strait issue have intensified the contradictions between the two countries, coupled with the sharp increase in internal and external pressure from the tsarist government, it has become more difficult for it to reshuffle. Difficulty providing effective support.
As for the Bosnians supported by the Ottoman Empire, their interests are even less cared about. Although Canning left Istanbul, the British sent a new overlord, Earl Mariel Taylor.
Earl Taylor didn't like his job, and he didn't like the Ottomans. His request was very simple, and everything should be based on the British strategy. Although Sudan Danjid was unwilling and helpless in every possible way, he could only follow through.
The Bosnians have also become the biggest losers in this game, directly from the first-class people who oppress all living beings to the untouchables who are trampled on at will. Moreover, how can the grievances and grievances accumulated over hundreds of years be settled with just one or two sentences?
Unwilling to be lonely, Milosh Obrenovi seems to be born for troubled times. This chaotic situation full of intricate behind-the-scenes games made him feel like a fish in water, and it took only two years to return to his loyal Belgrade and oh disloyal Sarajevo.
Of course, the United Kingdom, which has exchanged experience with various ruling classes and leaders around the world, is already very clear about Milos' personal status quo.
His so-called Greater Serbia is completely whimsical, but even with the help of Britain, it is also whimsical. Whether it is Austria, Ottoman, or Russia, which "takes the rescue of the Slavic brothers" as its mission, they cannot accommodate a Balkan power.
But the experience of the British taught them that the Great Serbian was a man to take advantage of.

Today, Austria's series of actions in Italy have been considered by the British Prime Minister as breaking the so-called "continental balance of power". Like his predecessors, the Viscount Melbourne also does not allow any signs of breaking the balance of power on the European continent.
Although the strength of the Stitch Monster so far is still far from enough to shake Europe, its gradually recovering national economy is enough to arouse London's vigilance.
Of course, the politicians in Whitehall don't think that Serbia will be the opponent of the Austrian Empire. What's more, it is not a wise move for Britain to conduct land combat in the Balkans, a quagmire surrounded by powerful neighbors. Difficult to function effectively.
It is a street in London, England. It connects the Houses of Parliament and Downing Street. In this street and its vicinity, some British government agencies such as the Ministry of Defense, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of the Interior, and the Ministry of the Navy are located here. Therefore, people use Whitehall as the name of the British executive branch. )
Unless they choose to put all their eggs in one basket and gather a transport fleet to seize command of the Adriatic Sea with the cooperation of warships with superior quantity and quality, and bring a beach landing on a weak coastal area, there may be a little chance of winning.
But it's totally not worth the candle, and the British taxpayers will never agree that the government is wasting all the money on this senseless war.
On the contrary, the newly expanded overseas colonies of the Austrians are an easier breakthrough point for the British. After all, the other party is not considered a powerful country in Shanghai at all, and it is extremely dependent on important strategic materials such as cotton from overseas.
As long as occupation can bring benefits and meet the needs of supporting war with war, there will be people who will support the war.
But after all, war still pays attention to the so-called rationality. Even before Japan and Prussia start fighting, they have to find a "reasonable" excuse, so a "reasonable" fig leaf is a must.
The "fig leaf" that Canning chose this time happened to be an excuse to support the Serbian independence movement. But when he made this crazy proposal, it was unanimously opposed by his cabinet colleagues.
"Idiot! Do you want to give up the entire Balkans to those greedy Russians? Support the independence of the Serbs, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com Think about it carefully with your head, what an unrealistic fantasy this is.
At that time, the Russians will logically "liberate" the entire Balkan Peninsula in the name of the God of all Slavs, thanks to the fact that you are still the Minister of Foreign Affairs. "
The Colonial Minister, the Marquis of Normandy, said angrily. Because Britain has participated in too many wars in the world, not to mention the stretched front, all kinds of urgent letters about logistics and personnel consumption have been sent to London continuously. Smart move.
Moreover, once war is declared against the Austrian Empire, the leader of the Holy Alliance and the chairman of the German Confederation, it is tantamount to war with the whole of Germany and Russia. Even France is likely to stand on the opposite side of Britain for its own benefit.
For the British, this is a war that is not worth the loss, and it is an act that violates the balance of power policy on the mainland.
"Marquis, please open your eyes. If you have read the confidential reports sent by our ambassadors in Vienna and the German region, you should understand the various actions of the Austrians in recent years.

While promoting the German customs union in the north, they actively established an Apennine customs union in the south. This is a shameless challenge to the great free trade principle!
So I can't imagine what will happen next. If they create another Balkan customs union in the east, how should we face it? "
