Start 1861: I Just Inherited the Dutch Throne

v3 Chapter 285: The Chain Reaction of Tsarist Russia's I

"Opening 1861: I just inherited the Dutch throne (

The house leak happened overnight, and the United States of America attacked Canada in North America. The Lincoln government appeased the United States of America in the south, and the Davis government began to face the dissatisfaction of those citizens under its jurisdiction who were disgusted by the long war, which made the Confederate States Even after the defeat in the counterattack in Central Tennessee, he chose to stand still.

This made British Prime Minister Christopher Clayton very angry.

In half a month, the UK will start the official prime minister election. Now the people's dissatisfaction with the Whig party is intensifying, and the Tory party is also fueling the flames. It seems that everything is very bad for the Whig party cabinet.

What is even more abhorrent is that Napoleon III of France chose to attack the Kingdom of Siam in the Far East at this time, and Queen Victoria has asked the cabinet government to express dissatisfaction with France.

However, two telegrams have been sent, and Napoleon III has evaded and evaded for various reasons, which made the Creston cabinet government very passive.

Napoleon III clearly chose to ignore the British.

On the Balkans, the Russian Empire and the Ottoman Empire were not willing to reconcile easily, which made the negotiations between Britain and Russia come to an end again and again.

When I think about this, I really feel a headache.

These have virtually contained most of the energy of the British cabinet.

Just when he was about to go to Buckingham Palace to report the latest situation to the Queen, there was a sudden news that made him unable to avoid it. The report had to be rewritten, and there was an urgent cabinet meeting.

It turned out that when the Russian Empire negotiated the truce and peace talks on the Balkan Peninsula with the United Kingdom, it moved from the Crimea Peninsula and the Caucasus to the south in the eastern part of the Black Sea, and entered the Georgia-Georgia region and A-Sabah, the territory of the Ottoman Empire. Xinjiang region.

Although the Ottoman Empire took more precautions against the Russian Empire, it mainly focused on the direction of the Balkans, not to mention that the Russian Empire is now negotiating with the United Kingdom. There was a sudden raid in the Caucasus region, and even the local 50,000 Ottoman defenders were caught off guard in an instant when they were deliberately calculated by the Tsarist Russia.

Northern Georgia and northern Azerbaijan were easily captured by the Tsarist Empire. The 50,000 troops of the Ottoman Empire were 20,000 dead and wounded. They reluctantly evacuated from the northern city of Welchik to the west, and 30,000 Ottoman soldiers were evacuated to the edge of the Black Sea. Sukhumi city.

As for the Armenian garrison in the south, 20,000 troops rushed north to the capital Tbilisi, and another 10,000 went north from the southern city of Hankend, which guarded against the Persian Empire, to the city of Baku in the west of the Caspian Sea.

So there are only 10,000 people left in Hankende City. If the Persian Empire provokes Hankende at this time, then the pressure of the Ottoman Empire is really great.

The dilemma of the Ottoman Empire suddenly made Britain, who was just about to escape from the Balkans, find it helpless again and was dragged back.

This is Clayston's first time as the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, so he is very unfamiliar with his external methods. In the face of the great changes that the United Kingdom is facing today, which has not been seen in a century, he, a new recruit, is instantly under infinite pressure.

How could Queen Victoria still be able to sit at Buckingham Palace at this time?

So I went out to direct myself.

On November 25, 1866, Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom sent Crown Prince Edward to visit St. Petersburg, held talks with Crown Prince Nikolayevich, and paid a courtesy visit to Alexander II. During the visit, Alexander II was reluctant to talk to Crown Prince Edward. The question of the Caucasus, but the other party is clear that Queen Victoria has warned that if the Russian Empire continues to launch a southern invasion of the Caucasus, the United Kingdom will shrink on other fronts to fully respond to the southern invasion of the Russian Empire.

Many people have analyzed that, apparently, after seeing the Russian Empire conquer Romania in the Balkans, the United Kingdom took nearly half of the territory of the Ottoman Empire in northern Georgia and Azerbaijan.

If Britain continues to let Tsarist Russia go on like this, the army of the Tsarist Russian Empire will appear in the Mediterranean Sea where Britain currently has the upper hand in the near future.

On the Caucasus side, as long as Georgia and Azerbaijan are captured, the Tsarist Russian Empire can border the Persian Empire. At that time, if the two countries unite, the Ottoman Empire will face the dilemma of comprehensive pressure in the east. If the imperial relationship is in place, maybe it can also get an outlet in the Indian Ocean with the help of the Persian Empire, which is a very dangerous thing for the United Kingdom.

Therefore, the sense of crisis in the United Kingdom caused Queen Victoria to stand up and toughen the invasion of Britain and Russia.

The Clayston government, which originally wanted to stop Napoleon III from invading the Far East Kingdom of Siam, was delayed by the southern invasion of the Caucasus by the Russian Empire.

Napoleon III saw the opportunity, and once again dispatched 50,000 troops from the French mainland, crossed the Mediterranean Sea and the Indian Ocean, and arrived in South Vietnam in early December, but at this time, the Kingdom of Siam seems to have been trained. After the arrival of the additional troops, they found that there were less than 10,000 troops left in the Far East of 30,000 troops. That is to say, in less than a month, France lost more than 20,000 people in the Far East.

These 30,000 people just came on the bench, only 30,000 more troops than before.

This made Napoleon III's governor Mattis very angry, so after 50,000 new troops landed at Vinh Lung Port at the mouth of the Mekong River, he couldn't wait to dispatch troops. With the cooperation of the 20,000 army and the navy~www.mtlnovel .com~ To advance to the sea of ​​Cambodia, the navy of the French Empire blocked the entire coast of Cambodia, shelling Kampot, Sihanouk, and Koh Kong ports from east to west, but strangely, France did not move to the west of Cambodia. Harassment in Bangkok area. Under the shelling of the Cambodian port, Kampot was soon occupied by 20,000 French troops.

The news soon returned to Paris, and Napoleon III was relieved.

After that, Sihanoukville City Port was also taken, and the entire southeast was taken by France. However, in Koh Kong Port, there was indeed strong resistance, and France encountered unprecedented obstacles.

So France began to engage in a protracted war with the Kingdom of Siam in Cambodia for several years.

For William IV, the global focus was originally the confrontation between Great Britain and the Commonwealth of America in North America,

The game of great powers in South America is now following the French invasion war of the Siam Kingdom in the Far East and the southern invasion of the Ottoman Empire by the Tsarist Russia. Negotiations on the Balkans can be suspended.

Coupled with the start of a full-scale war between the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth of America in North America, plus the dangerous move of the small country in Paraguay, South America, which is eager to provoke the big country, there will be a regional chain reaction. No matter what the outcome is, it is bound to change the global pattern.

The major powers and small countries in Europe and the United States have their own calculations. Britain and France, which are also big powers in Western Europe, although France invaded the Russian Empire on the Balkans and the Caucasus, but the attitudes of the two countries are completely different, so France has reservations, which makes Britain very jealous and dissatisfied.

Prussia was wounded when licking the unification of the German Confederation, and slowly integrated the national strength of these small countries for its own use. Seeing other countries attacking cities all over the world, Prime Minister Bismarck and William I ambitions were also brought up, but they were not. Waiting for a favorable moment.
