The War Court and Lap Pillow, Austria’s Mandate of Heaven

v2 Chapter 79: 2nd day

【War court and knee pillow, Austria's destiny】【】

Vienna, Schönbrunn Palace. Franz looked at the terms of sanctioning Egypt, and it seemed that there was nothing wrong with it. The purpose of the British had been achieved. The "British-Turkish Commercial Treaty" would come into effect in Egypt, and at the same time, the French privileges in Egypt were also withdrawn by Ottoman. As for the British's spring and autumn style of writing, they played tricks, and Franz felt that Metternich could handle it. If not, then he could consider replacing it. Egypt returned Crete and Syria, but managed to keep the mainland and Sudan. A weak Egypt could not stop Austria from expanding Tripoli. Franz felt that the meeting on the first day was considered a success, as long as Osman was not allowed to take back Egypt, it was a victory. Although the treaty limited Egypt's strength miserably, the original world-line British tried to enter Egypt several times but failed. In the end, they had to bribe Ali to get their wish. Historically, in 1843, the British government gave Muhammad Ali a steam warship. The Queen of England also presented him with personal gifts, and at the same time, the first British multinational companies such as the East India Company also presented gifts to Ali in order to seek the right to establish a foothold in Egypt. After that, he was awarded the Peace Medal and even invited his eldest son to visit the UK. The next day's topic was the issue of the Strait. The British put forward a condominium proposal as in history, the difference being that the person who proposed it was changed from Palmerston to Canning. Britain and France have the same attitude on this issue. They feel that for the sake of peace, it is necessary for the great powers to reach a consensus in the form of a joint statement or a treaty. Historically, it was due to the insistence of Britain and Austria, coupled with the change of French attitude, and Nesselov's suicidal operation, that the Straits Treaty was reached. However, Austria had an ambiguous attitude at this time, but Nesselov was a little confused, and he had to write to the tsar. "The price we paid for the strait was too high! In fact, it tied our hands and feet." In this era, the telegraph had not yet been popularized, and the most effective way to transmit information over long distances was the pigeon letter. In fact, due to the influence of Franz, Tsar Nicholas I at this time was not prepared to give up his privileges in the Strait. He wrote in his reply: "We must protect the security of Russia and the security of the Ottoman Empire, so the Black Sea Strait should not be opened to any country." topic. Canning put forward the idea of ​​a Jewish state. He argued that although the Jews were not welcomed in Europe, they should have the right to establish their own state. It happened that Muhammad Ali gave up Syria, and perhaps it could be established here. A Jewish state. Hearing this, Phil Chuck, who was still very happy just now, immediately turned ugly. He thought he could take back the land taken by Ali, but he didn't expect the British to assign the sacred territory of the Ottoman Empire to those dirty Jews. Jews were also not well received in the Ottoman Empire. As for the reason, everyone understands it. Nesselov couldn't sit still when he heard that the Holy Land had been assigned to the Jews. He stood up immediately and glared at Canning. "I want to fight you, sir!" In fact, Kizuo had reservations about the British proposal, because France's Catholicism is powerful, and if the Holy Land is given to the Jews, it will undoubtedly cause strong dissatisfaction among the people. The minister did it too. Some Sewell, who couldn't help but yawn, obviously didn't take the negotiation seriously, and he was even less interested in topics related to religion. The situation in Austria is similar to that in France, except that the church expresses some dissatisfaction at most, and doesn't think much of Metternich, the prime minister. If Nesselov hadn't come forward, Metternich might have expressed his dissatisfaction, but it seems unnecessary now. Soon this turned into an all-out conflict between Britain and Russia. Canning naturally wouldn't accept Nesselov's duel proposal. After all, he didn't want to fight a veteran. If he lost, he would definitely become a laughing stock in the diplomatic circles. But even if Canning won the duel, with the Russian brain circuit, he would probably send a dueling master to recover the situation next time, which would not help the progress of the negotiations. "I refuse!" "You coward! You have insulted my faith, and I demand an apology!" "We are negotiating to solve the problem, not create it!"... The two sides argued for a long time without any result, Kan Ning finally had to ask for a vote by show of hands. However, he soon discovered that none of the great powers in the venue agreed with his proposal, and Russia expressed its opposition even more fiercely, so Canning had to give up the proposal. He took it for granted that Austria, France, and Ottomans were traitors to his plans. At the ball after the negotiations on the second day, Nesselov held a wine glass and showed off how he faithfully performed his duties, protected Jerusalem, and defeated the plots of the heretics. For holding balls, Metternich is an expert, and the nobles of Vienna also have rich experience in this, and the atmosphere on the scene is very warm, which is of course the credit of the Vienna atmosphere group. In order to entertain distinguished guests from various countries, Metternich hired all the popular girls from the top brothels in Vienna, in addition to some actresses and ballet dancers. Of course, in addition to the atmosphere group, there are many well-known artists and leaders in various industries. In that era, if you want to meet big people, this kind of dance is the best place. At the same time, Metternich is also showing Austria's soft power to other countries. Compared with the worried missions from various countries, Sewell had a great time. But he also sincerely laments that the entertainment service industry in Austria is so powerful~lightnovelpub.net~Berlin is like a slum in comparison. Of course, the other members of the Prussian mission were busy. Some of them came here to discuss business, and some came here to spy out more useful information. Although some people in Prussia have begun to propose colonizing Africa, they have not attracted the attention of the government. Among the mission was a special young man, a farmer from Pomerania who joined the mission as a private in the Potsdam Infantry Regiment. A private soldier did not attract the special attention of Austrian officials, but this unremarkable young man in front of him was Bismarck, the famous iron-blooded prime minister in the future. At this time, he was supposed to help his father manage the farm at home. However, due to the change of the timeline, the influence of the Austrian Empire was unprecedentedly strong, which made this young man who had won 25 duels a little itchy. In history, Bismarck has participated in twenty-five times during college, only one arm injury. Bismarck wanted to meet his future greatest enemy and the prime minister who had been the leader of Europe for more than thirty years. At this time, Metternich, who had returned to the home court, was naturally at home, and the ambassadors of the surrounding countries all raised their glasses to congratulate him. The Austrian Empire can be said to be the country that benefited the most from the crisis in the Near East. At the same time, Austria's influence is also constantly increasing. The failure of the London Conference is in stark contrast to the victorious holding of the two Vienna Conferences. People even call Vienna the "Conference Capital" and "The Center of European Politics"...During the ball At present, the transactions between Austria and other countries are still going on, and countless dignitaries, wealthy businessmen, and gentle ladies are surrounded by Metternich like stars and moons. At this time, a young man said something that made everyone laugh, "He can be replaced", and the accompanying Prussian officials took this as a joke.
