Chapter 923 Huge differences
"His Excellency Wei Yuan, we found that two days ago, Earls of Granville, Earls of Valevski and Earl Nesserrodied went to Belverdei to meet with Austro-Hungarian Emperor Franz Joseph I. + Prince Felix, Prime Minister of Austro-Hungarian Empire. They stayed in Belverdei for a long time and disappeared before leaving. We have no idea what to talk about. However, I am worried whether the attitude of the Austro-Hungarian Empire will change because of this!" said Jose de Salamanca, the Foreign Minister of the Kingdom of Spain. After all, this matter is related to the Kingdom of Spain, so the Kingdom of Spain is also working very hard to find out the news.
"Will the Austro-Hungarian Empire turn to support the North Atlantic military alliance? The people of the Austro-Hungarian Empire are not so stupid, right?" exclaimed Charles Rorier, Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Belgium. After all, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Asian-European military alliance has already gained an advantage in the confrontation. Even if the Austro-Hungarian Empire wants to take sides, it should stand on the side of the winner. How could it be that the North Atlantic military alliance turn to support the North Atlantic military alliance?
"Perhaps, the Austro-Hungarian Empire wanted to seek greater benefits!" said Gafur, the Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Sardinia. The relationship between the Kingdom of Sardinia and the Empire of Austro-Hungarian Empire has never been very good. The last time the Kingdom of Prussia started a war against the Austrian Empire, the Kingdom of Sardinia also joined in. Although the army of the Kingdom of Sardinia did not defeat the army of the Empire of Austria on the battlefield. However, because of the victory of the Kingdom of Prussia, the Kingdom of Sardinia also stood on the side of the winner and completely seized the territory occupied by the Austrian Empire.
Although the words of Prime Minister Gafur of the Kingdom of Sardinia have a great sense of chief officials. However, his words made everyone think deeply. Now, the Asian-European military alliance does have an advantage. Even if the Austro-Hungarian Empire wants to take sides, it should be on the side of the Asian-European military alliance. But in this case, even if the Asian-European military alliance wins, the huge benefits will first be divided by several major member states of the Asian-European military alliance, and the Austro-Hungarian Empire that joined the North Atlantic Military Alliance will not be divided at all. On the contrary, if the Austro-Hungarian Empire joins the North Atlantic Military Alliance, it will be a timely help. If the North Atlantic Military Alliance wins, the Austro-Hungarian Empire will definitely have more benefits!
"If the Austro-Hungarian Empire joins the North Atlantic Military Alliance, we will not have much advantage, and we will even be at a disadvantage in Europe!" Prussian Foreign Minister Albrech von Ron's face suddenly became ugly. If this situation really happened, the Prussian Kingdom was very likely to fall into siege by France, Austro-Hungarian Empire and Russia. It would even be attacked by Britain from the sea. At that time, Prussia will be in danger. The entire European war situation will be reversed.
The imperial foreign minister Wei Yuan's face was not very good-looking. The Austro-Hungarian Empire turned to the North Atlantic military alliance, which should be regarded as the biggest failure in the imperial foreign policy, which would add countless difficulties to the empire's victory after the war. In fact, the empire needs to spend more manpower and material resources to win. This does not agree with the empire's interests.
"Gentlemen, it seems that we need to make more efforts. We will strive to bring the Austro-Hungarian Empire into our camp. It really doesn't work. Even if we keep the Austro-Hungarian Empire neutral, this is our victory!" Wei Yuan said.
"Yes!" The others nodded one after another. Although the Austro-Hungarian Empire was not very strong, this happened to be stuck at this node, which made all countries in the Asian-European military alliance feel nervous.
The most important thing is that the Chinese Empire is too far away from Europe. Although the Chinese Empire has a huge army and navy, if it wants to send the Chinese Empire's army to Europe, it will have to advance westward step by step, which will take a lot of time. Before that, European allies will have to withstand the siege of the North Atlantic Military Alliance. All countries will be under tremendous pressure.
"His Excellency Wei Yuan, we will do our best to win over the Austro-Hungarian Empire. However, if the Austro-Hungarian Empire is determined to surrender to the North Atlantic Military Alliance, then we must prepare in advance!" said Prussian Foreign Minister Albrech von Ron.
"Please rest assured that even if the Austro-Hungarian Empire is not aware of the current affairs and joins the North Atlantic Military Alliance, the final victory will definitely belong to us. It is nothing more than paying a greater price. However, everyone should be firm in their confidence in the future victory. If the war breaks out, the Imperial Army will attack Russia with all its strength, so that Russia has no extra strength to attack the Kingdom of Prussia. In this way, the pressure of the Kingdom of Prussia will be suppressed by the Kingdom of Prussia.
The strength will be much smaller. At that time, with the strength of each allied country, it will be able to fight against the North Atlantic military alliance. The Imperial Navy will advance westward with all its might, strive to defeat the British Navy, ensure the security of the empire's maritime transportation lines from the empire to Europe, and provide war materials for all countries. If conditions permit, the Imperial Army will also travel to Europe continuously through sea routes, and do its best to ensure that we win the victory of this war!" Wei Yuan said firmly.
Wei Yuan's firm attitude has restored the confidence of each member state. After all, they have already boarded the ship of the Asia-European military alliance. If they want to get off the ship now, it seems too late. There is only one road that has gone black!
In addition, countries also believe that if the Chinese Empire does its best to launch an attack, even if the Austro-Hungarian Empire joins the North Atlantic Military Alliance, its final victory will definitely belong to the Asian-European military alliance. The Chinese Empire has the largest population in the world and extremely strong industrial strength, and the army and navy are the best in the world. Of course, in this way, countries will definitely be very difficult in the early stages and the price will be greater.
"Okay, let's stop this issue! We can report this possibility to the domestic country and make decisions. What we have to face now is tomorrow's negotiations! France brazenly invaded the Kingdom of Spain, which is a provocation to the countries of our Asian-European military alliance. We must fulfill the original covenant and ensure the interests of our allies!" Wei Yuan said.
"Yes, the French must withdraw their troops from Spain!" The Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Belgium, Charles Rozer, was the first to respond. Like Spain, the Kingdom of Belgium is also very vulnerable to French invasions. At this time, you must show support for your allies. In this way, if the Kingdom of Belgium is invaded, the allies will do their best to help.
"The Kingdom of Prussia will unswervingly fulfill its sacred covenant!" said Albrech von Ron, the foreign minister of the Kingdom of Prussia.
"The Kingdom of Sardinia will fully support the Kingdom of Spain!" said Gafur, the Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Sardinia. The Kingdom of Sardinia and other members of the North Atlantic Military Alliance did not have much hatred. They joined the Asian-European military alliance in order to defeat France, and then seize the Pope occupied by France and realize the unification of the Kingdom of Italy!
"Very good. If this happens, our opinions will be unified. At tomorrow's meeting, our attitude needs to be more firm. Lord Salamanca, do the Kingdom of Spain have any requirements for this incident?" Wei Yuan asked.
"His Excellency Wei Yuan, the Kingdom of Spain needs France to withdraw its troops from Spain to compensate the Kingdom of Spain for the losses, and hand over Prince Don Carlos to us for disposal!" said Jose de Salamanca.
Wei Yuan nodded. The requirements of the Kingdom of Spain were undoubtedly reasonable. However, it would be difficult to fully realize them. Especially if the Austro-Hungarian Empire turned to the North Atlantic Military Alliance, the enemy would be even more confident.
"At tomorrow's peace meeting, we will support the Spanish Kingdom. The specific situation will be determined after the peace meeting begins!" Wei Yuan said.
The other representatives also nodded.
"Sir, will the Austro-Hungarian Empire really turn to the North Atlantic military alliance? In this case, it will probably be very unfavorable to the empire!" After all the representatives of various countries left, Xu Juncai, ambassador of the Chinese Empire to the Austro-Hungarian Empire, said.
"It's going to rain and mother wants to get married, let him go! If the Austro-Hungarian Empire really dares to turn to the North Atlantic military alliance and be enemies with the Empire, then the Empire will definitely make them pay the heaviest price!" Wei Yuan said murderously. The Austro-Hungarian Emperor Franz Joseph was only 21 years old in his lifetime, and was a young man. It is understandable that young people are a little more impulsive. If they threaten the interests of the Empire, then don't blame the Empire!
"Sir, if the Austro-Hungarian Empire turns to the North Atlantic Military Alliance, then our European allies will probably be under tremendous pressure. At that time, it is difficult to guarantee that their attitude will not change!" Xu Jun continued.
"Well! The road is a long way to know the horsepower, and people's hearts will be seen over time. Let's look at the specific situation at that time! However, I believe that no matter how the situation changes in the future, future victory belongs to us!" Wei Yuan said firmly.
Ambassador Xu Jun also nodded firmly. After all, the strength of the Chinese Empire has improved a lot compared to when it was just established. Even if it is an enemy of the entire Western world, it is not impossible. Winning may be very difficult. However, defeating will also be very difficult!
On May 1, 1851, the Vienna Peace Conference was held at the Prime Minister's Residence of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. However, from the attitudes shown by the two sides before the meeting, it can be seen that the gap between the two sides is very large! This time, it will be very difficult to achieve the expected goals. In addition, the attitude of the Austro-Hungarian Empire has become a variable of this Peace Conference, which will have a profound impact on the situation in the world!
