Entered after 1851, the situation in Near East area was getting more and more tense. suddenly Austria both countries eye covetously to the Ottoman empire, Sultan government invited UK , France to mediate the conflict. 进入1851年过后,近东地区的局势越来越紧张了。俄两国对奥斯曼帝国虎视眈眈,苏丹政府邀请英法调停冲突。 The Ottoman empire paid what price, regardless of the time being. The present issue is the French government is busy internal fight, the English does not only daunt suddenly Austria both countries. 奥斯曼帝国付出了什么代价,姑且不论。现在的问题是法国政府忙着内斗,光英国人根本就吓不住俄两国。 In English opinion, the core of this Near East crisis in the Russia person, so long as they do not do the matter, must convince Austria to benefit is very easy. 在英国人看来,这次近东危机的核心在俄国人身上,只要他们不搞事情,要说服地利就很容易了。 Under this judgment, Britain , Russia negotiated opening. Without a doubt, the English does not think on the conference table can solve the problem, the main purpose of initiating this negotiations is to delay the time. 在这种判断之下,英俄谈判开启了。毫无疑问,英国人不认为在谈判桌上就能够解决问题,发起这次谈判的主要目的就是为了拖延时间。 The London government and Louis Napoleon Bonaparte has ganged up in one, to resolve day by day the severe Near East crisis, the English decided that supports Napoleon III to seize power. 伦敦政府和路易-拿破仑-波拿巴已经勾搭在了一起,为了应对日益严峻的近东危机,英国人决定支持拿破仑三世夺权。 The English wanted to delay the time, the Russia person have not been ready, negotiations this open in this case. 英国人想要拖延时间,俄国人也没有做好准备,谈判就这在这种情况下开启了。 Vienna 维也纳 The Austria Libyan government was discussing that matter of British and Russian negotiations, this affected Austria to benefit the next step strategy, if the English flickered Russian bear, the westbound strategy malingered. 地利政府正在讨论英俄谈判的事情,这影响到了地利下一步的战略,万一英国人把毛熊忽悠住了,西进战略就泡汤了。 Metternich analyzes saying: „ Britain , Russia are contradictory, conflicts of interest of both sides very serious, from Near East to Far East, everywhere is the two countries contradictory focuses. 梅特涅分析道:“英俄矛盾由来已久,双方的利益冲突非常的严重,从近东到远东,到处都是两国矛盾的焦点。 Only if a side can make the large scale concession, otherwise the conflict of two countries is inevitable. 除非其中一方能够做出大幅度让步,不然两国的冲突不可避免。 The present Near East crisis, is mainly caused by the Russia person core strategy, has prepared is so long, now makes their giving up difficult such as ascend to heaven. ” 现在的近东危机,主要是由俄国人核心战略造成的,都已经准备了这么久,现在让他们罢手难如登天。” After the Ottoman empire declines, Russia presented a sound, swallows this established empire, inherits their complete heritages. 奥斯曼帝国衰落过后,俄国内部就出现了一种声音,吞下这个老牌帝国,继承他们的全部遗产。 Because the appetite is too big, the plan of Russia person naturally met with the resistance of various countries. Although cannot swallow this empire, however in the Russo-Turkish War, the Russia person still received enough advantage recently twice. 因为胃口太大,俄国人的计划自然是遭到了各国的抵制。虽然没有能够吞下这个帝国,但是在最近两次俄土战争中,俄国人依然拿到了足够的好处。 Perhaps thought the one breath all swallows the Ottoman empire difficulty is too big, the Russia person established two small targets, completes this plan step by step. 或许是觉得一口气全吞奥斯曼帝国难度太大,俄国人又制定了两个小目标,分步完成这一计划。 First step, controls Black Sea, to go south Balkan, to seize two channels ; 第一步、控制黑海、南下巴尔干、占领两海峡; Second step, firmly grasps in the Ottoman empire Eastern to protect the power, then nibbles the Ottoman empire. 第二步、牢牢掌握住奥斯曼帝国境内的东正教徒保护权,进而蚕食奥斯曼帝国。 The core of first strategic planning is to seize two channels, only then grasped this golden waterway, the strategic security in Russian Empire had the safeguard, did not need to be worried that was blocked by the Ottoman empire. 第一步战略计划的核心就是占领两海峡,只有掌握住了这条黄金水道,俄罗斯帝国的战略安全才有保障,不用担心被奥斯曼帝国进行封锁。 This is also the Russia person moves toward the first step of sea, is core one point in his sea strategy. 这也是俄国人走向海洋的第一步,是他海洋战略中的核心一环。 However this most essential one step, «London Channel Convention» signed in 1841, cut off to them by the English. 然而这最关键的一步,早在1841年《伦敦海峡公约》签订,就被英国人给他们掐断了。 The Russia person struggled half a century of achievement to have all efforts wasted, the protection power Tsar government of Eastern Orthodox Church believer is not willing to drop. In the history the blasting fuse of Crimean War, is the religious conflict. 俄国人为之奋斗了半个世纪的成果付之东流,东正教教徒的保护权沙皇政府就再也不肯放手了。历史上克里米亚战争的导火索,就是宗教矛盾。 Now suddenly Austria forms an alliance, the European big powers suppressed the diplomatic situation in Russia to change jointly, French not in condition, if did not take this opportunity to occupy two channel areas, the Russia person did not have the opportunity again. 现在俄结盟,欧洲列强联手压制俄罗斯的外交局势发生了改变,法国人又不在状态,如果不利用这个机会占据两海峡地区,俄国人就再也没有机会了。 holy land crisis, provided the full war excuse to the Russia person. Now has not started, that is they are preparing for the war. 恰好圣地危机,又给俄国人提供了充分的战争借口。现在之所以还没有发动,那是他们在为战争做准备。 Don't these issue Ottoman governments know? Obviously is not possible, as the old enemy, the Ottoman government has not relaxed regarding the Russia person has been vigilant the heart. 这些问题奥斯曼政府不知道么?显然是不可能的,作为老敌人,奥斯曼政府对于俄国人从来没有放松过警惕之心。 The issue is even their anything was clear, besides passive accepting a challenge, can only expect the international mediation. 问题是就算他们什么都清楚,除了被动应战外,就只能期待国际调停了。 initiates an attack does not exist, the Russia person has not completed the war preparations, the Ottoman empire also has not completed the war preparations. 主动出击是不存在的,俄国人没有做好战争准备,奥斯曼帝国同样也没有做好战争准备。 In name their army quantities are many, seeming like is also the well-trained and equipped army. But one of us knows from the family affairs, in surface powerful Ottoman army, in fact is only a flower trellis. 名义上他们的军队数量不少,看上去也是兵强马壮。可自家人知道自家事,表面上强大的奥斯曼军队,实际上只是一个花架子。 And the Russia person hits, hits with the Austria advantage, they instigated. This is not a government corruption is incompetent, can conceal. The disparity on national strength, is not in one single day can make up. 无论是和俄国人打,还是和地利打,他们都怂。这不是一句政府腐败无能,就能够盖过去的。国力上的差距,不是一朝一夕就能弥补的。 Prime Minister Felix thinks saying: „ The Russia person must begin to be inevitable, what now we are indefinite is they begins in the second half of this year, towed to begin to 1852 again. 费利克斯首相想了想说:“俄国人要动手是必然的,现在我们不确定的是他们是在今年下半年动手,还是拖到1852年再动手。 Not is only the war burst time is unable to determine, this being doomed scale very big war, how long will continue similarly is also an unknown. 不光是战争爆发时间无法确定,这场注定规模很大的战争,会持续多长时间同样也是一个未知数。 What is most worrying will be the British Buddhist meeting will not enter the war, will attend this war, they will put out many strengths. 最令人担心的还是英法会不会参战,就算是参加这次战争,他们会拿出多少实力来。 Before these issues cannot determine, we take any action, risky. Now we if wants the means that the risk in certain range. ” 在这些问题不能确定前,我们采取任何行动,都是有风险的。现在我们就要想办法,把风险控制在一定范围之内。” This is the difference of great nation and small country, the small country formulation strategy does not need to consider the aftermath, won to say, loses was finished directly. 这是大国和小国的区别,小国制定战略不用考虑善后问题,赢了一切好说,输了就直接完蛋。 Austria benefits differently, so long as does not act unreasonably blindly, even failed one time, similarly also has the opportunity that comes for the second time again, ahead of time conducted the risk to be essential. 地利不一样,只要不盲目乱来,就算是失败了一次,同样还有第二次再来的机会,提前进行风险控制就必不可少了。 Marshal Radetzky shakes the head saying: „ If wants the control risk, then after the Russo-Turkish War breaks out, we can only wait for the war escalation, before the French has not dispatched troops, we cannot move. 拉德斯基元帅摇了摇头说:“如果要控制风险,那么俄土战争爆发过后,我们就只能等待战争升级,在法国人没有出兵前,我们也不能动。 If the French doesn't enter the war? Can we drop this plan? ” 假如法国人不参战呢?我们是不是要放弃这次计划?” Prime Minister Felix affirmative saying: This must look at the determination of English, so long as they want, will certainly have the office farad the French to begin together.” 费利克斯首相肯定的说道:“这就要看英国人的决心了,只要他们愿意,就一定会有办法拉着法国人一起动手。” This conclusion with is the same, who who Franz obtains name was Louis Napoleon Bonaparte by English high-rank? 这个结论和弗朗茨得出的一样,谁叫路易-拿破仑-波拿巴是靠英国人上位的呢? In the history, he is a serious brave sickness patient perhaps, every so often is echoing the English. When he is in power, almost could not see that the French government and English refute. 历史上,他本人就是一个严重的恐英症患者,很多时候都在附和英国人。在他执政期间,几乎看不到法国政府和英国人硬顶。 Franz thinks saying: „ This strategic key to success lies in the security, hits various countries' one to attack suddenly, creates the established facts, forcing UK , France to acknowledge. 弗朗茨想了想说道:“这次战略成功的关键就在于保密,打各国一个突然袭击,造成既定事实,逼迫英法承认。 So long as the plan has not exposed, the initiative in our hands, when begins, must begin, was decided by us. 只要计划没有暴露,主动权就在我们手中,什么时候动手,要不要动手,都由我们自己决定。 After the Russo-Turkish War breaks out, the British Buddhist meeting will not enter the war, this issue is not, but the Ottoman person who we can control worries. 俄土战争爆发后,英法会不会参战,这个问题就不是我们所能够控制的了,不过想必奥斯曼人更加着急。 Wins over UK , France to enter the war, is they gets rid of the only choice of crisis. When necessary can make the Ottoman empire know, our goals are only the Danube basins. ” 拉拢英法参战,是他们摆脱危机的唯一选择。必要的时候可以让奥斯曼帝国知道,我们的目标只是多瑙河流域。” Deceives the Ottoman person, Franz to have no pressure at heart, if told them the Austria Libyan government this time to have no interest in them, the smallpox of it is estimated that saying fell Sultan government not to dare to believe rottenly. 欺骗奥斯曼人,弗朗茨没有任何心里压力,如果告诉他们地利政府这次对他们没有任何兴趣,估计说的天花烂坠苏丹政府也不敢信。 Might as well expose a false information, making the Ottoman person accept as true , compared to want to swallow their Russia people, the Austria altruistic appetite without doubt is much smaller. 不如暴露一个假信息,让奥斯曼人信以为真,相比想要吞下他们的俄国人,地利人的胃口无疑要小得多。 Divided to be clear chief enemy and secondary enemy, the choice of Ottoman government are not many. Was nipped one by the Austria advantage, nothing but is the trouble of skin ringworm, if were nipped by the Russia person, did not die is half is also remnant. 分清楚了主要敌人和次要敌人,奥斯曼政府的选择就不多了。被地利咬上一口,无非是皮癣之患,要是被俄国人咬了下去,不死也是半残了。 ...... …… First Lord of the Treasury Carl proposed: Your majesty, to deal with the following war, Ministry of Finance suggested to implement the tobacco and liquor monopolization system, with the aim of raising more war funds.” 财政大臣卡尔提议道:“陛下,为了应对接下来的战争,财政部建议实施烟酒专卖制度,以便筹集更多的战争经费。” The Austria money pouch has war funds, being used to unify the Southern Germany will area is enough, but must face interference of various countries is not uncertain. 地利是有一笔战争经费的,用来统一南德意志地区是够了,可是要面对各国的干涉就不一定了。 Austria benefits the empire is also the big enterprise has lots of assets, has crossed the adventurous stage. Franz does not like the adventure, not possible, only then several months of war funds, silly runs to launch the war. 地利帝国也是家大业大,早就过冒险的阶段。弗朗茨也不喜欢冒险,不可能只有几个月的战争经费,就傻乎乎的跑去发动战争。 Therefore from the beginning, the made strategic planning considered the intervention of big powers, the worst aspect is to make war with the UK , France three countries simultaneously. 所以从一开始,做出的战略计划就是考虑到了列强的干预,最糟糕的局面是同时和英法普三国开战。 Naturally, this is establishes in the suddenly Austria situation jointly. Words that selects only, Franz is not headstrong, the Austria Libyan government does not have that self-confidence. 当然,这是建立在俄联手的情况下。单挑的话,弗朗茨还没有那么莽,地利政府也没有那份儿自信。 The going to war soldier many side of must always profit, possibly presents the war on two fronts particularly, even is in the situations of three combats. 打仗兵多的一方总是要占便宜些,尤其是可能出现两线作战,甚至是三线作战的情况下。 The soldiers are many, military spending naturally big, multi- collection war gold/metal as far as possible, needed very much. 兵多,军费开支自然就大,尽可能的多筹集战争金费,就很有必要了。 The most direct means are to collect the war tax, only if the war had broken out, otherwise Franz will not do, he defends the well-mannered person. 最直接的办法是收取战争税,除非战争已经爆发了,不然弗朗茨是不会干的,他可是守规矩的人。 „After implementation tobacco and liquor monopolization system, how many income can increase?” Asking that Franz cares about “实施烟酒专卖制度后,可以增加多少收入?”弗朗茨关心的问道 Carl thinks, replied: „At present the domestic economic development situation, implements after the tobacco and liquor monopolization system, every year at least can increase over 35 million shield income.” 卡尔想了想后回答道:“以目前国内的经济发展情况来看,实施烟酒专卖制度过后,每年至少可以增加3500万盾以上的收入。” In original financial revenue situation, but can also increase 35 million shield income, the tobacco and liquor profit is obviously ordinary. 在原有财政收入的情况下,还能够增加3500万盾的收入,烟酒的利润可见一般。 Prime minister, how see?” Franz asked “首相,怎么看?”弗朗茨问道 35 million shield have moved Franz sufficiently, the heart deep place he had agreed that now inquired that the opinion of prime minister, is needs the cabinet to be responsible for promoting this plan. 3500万盾已经足以打动弗朗茨了,内心深处他已经同意了,现在询问首相的意见,就是需要内阁负责推行这一计划。 Prime Minister Felix replied without hesitation: Your majesty, the peculiar circumstance can treat specially, the government will do the ideological work to the capitalists, they will understand.” 费利克斯首相毫不犹豫的回答道:“陛下,特殊情况可以特殊对待,政府会给资本家们做思想工作,想必他们会理解的。” Obviously, everyone's bottom line is that high, to increase 35 million shield financial revenues, everyone did not mind that sacrificed the interests of certain people. 显然,大家的底线都是那么高,为了增加3500万盾的财政收入,大家不介意牺牲掉某些人的利益。 Can the capitalists who the benefit is damaged, think through, this issue is unimportant, they do not have the right to speak in any case politically. 利益受损的资本家们,能不能够想通,这个问题已经不重要了,反正他们在政治上也没有话语权。 In history, what the Austria Libyan government implements is the salt and tobacco monopoly. However has moral integrity Franz, in the beforehand livelihood of the people bill, included the daily necessity the table salt and grain together. 历史上,地利政府实施的是盐和烟草专卖。不过有节操的弗朗茨,早在之前的民生法案中,就把食盐和粮食一起列入了生活必需品。 In order to let the people can fill the belly, does not run to revolt, these life must the price, the government is the strict control. 为了让民众们能够填饱肚子,不跑去造反,这些生活必须品的价格,政府都是严格控制的。 Without can raise the price, integrates in the table salt the monopolization, cannot increase many income, Ministry of Finance naturally selected another profit high liquor. 在不能提高价格的情况下,把食盐纳入专卖中,也增加不了多少收入,财政部自然就选取了另一项利润较高的酒。 These two commodities, are not the daily necessities, even price still indifferent, few smoking drink high a little are also beneficial to the health. 这两项商品,都不是生活必需品,就算是价格高一点儿也无所谓,少吸烟喝酒还有利于身体健康。 This is the true idea of Franz, although he himself also smokes to drink, but this does not hinder him to guide the national, trains correct habits and customs. 这是弗朗茨的真实想法,尽管他自己也吸烟喝酒,但这并不妨碍他引导国民,培养一个正确的生活习惯。 Franz thinks saying: Such being the case, then the government legislated to implement the tobacco and liquor to specialize in selling as soon as possible.” 弗朗茨想了想说道:“既然如此,那么政府就尽快立法实施烟酒专卖好了。” Yes, your majesty!” Prime Minister Felix replied “是,陛下!”费利克斯首相回答道
