Palace of Versailles 凡尔赛宫 Foreign minister Austria said: „ Your majesty, new Holy Roman Empire minister in Paris sent out the note diplomatique to us, they proposed in the Greek issue, our two countries joint operations. 外交大臣弗涅说道:“陛下,新神圣罗马帝国驻巴黎公使向我们发出了外交照会,他们提议在希腊问题上,我们两国联合行动。 Evidently, the Vienna government is worried that the English will seize the chance to annex the Kingdom of Greece, poses a threat to their interests. ” 看样子,维也纳政府是担心英国人会趁机吞并希腊王国,威胁到他们的利益。” The Greek population of this age just crossed 1 million, went through after this war, the Greek domestic young loss is serious. 这个年代的希腊人口刚过百万,经历了这次战争过后,希腊国内的青壮损失严重。 If the English intends to turn into their colonies the Kingdom of Greece, this difficulty is not very big. 如果英国人有意把希腊王国变成他们的殖民地,这个难度并不是很大。 This worry is not obviously unnecessary, annexes Greece to the English to bring massive benefits strategically, not only can stop up the Russia person to enter the gate of Mediterranean Sea, but can also increase them in the right to speak of Near East area. 这个担心显然不是多余的,吞并希腊在战略上能够给英国人带来大量的利益,不但可以堵住俄国人进入地中海的门,还可以增加他们在近东地区的话语权。 This situation, Paris government similarly also unusual worry. The cake of Near East area is so big, if the English takes were many, must occupy them inevitably in the local benefit. 这种情况,巴黎政府同样也非常的担心。近东地区的蛋糕就那么大,英国人要是拿的多了,势必要挤占他们在当地的利益。 Napoleon III thinks saying: English annexes the Kingdom of Greece to be disadvantageous to our Near East strategies, sends people to chat with Austria altruistic, so long as everyone conflicts of interest are not serious, with their joint operations.” 拿破仑三世想了想说:“英国人吞并希腊王国对我们的近东战略非常不利,派人和地利人谈谈,只要大家利益冲突不严重,就和他们联合行动。” Resists the English alone, Napoleon III instigated very much, but benefitted on him to be together fearless with Austria. This age UK , France very soon Austria four country power gaps have not pulled open, even if the English has the advantage, is unable to achieve by an enemy two. 单独对抗英国人,拿破仑三世还是很怂的,可是和地利一起上他就无所畏惧了。这个年代英法俄四国实力差距还没有拉开,就算是英国人有优势,也无法做到以一敌二。 The common interest forever is the foundation of cooperation, France and new Holy Roman Empire have the struggle of European hegemony, properly speaking both sides should be contradictory layer on layer/heavily. 共同的利益永远都是合作的基础,法国和新神圣罗马帝国存在着欧陆霸权之争,按理来说双方应该是矛盾重重。 However now European hegemon or Russia person, before Russian bear drops down, both countries substitute the player, has not arrived must get angry. 不过现在欧陆霸主还是俄国人,在毛熊倒下之前,两国都只是替补选手,还没有到要翻脸的时候。 By the influence of anti-France war, France's every action and every movement in continental Europe, will be closely watched by everyone. 受反法战争的影响,法国在欧洲大陆上的一举一动,都会受到大家的密切关注。 Under this background, France's any expansion action in continental Europe, was possibly explained by the outside world wrongly, met with everyone's boycott, the Paris government has to cultivate the behavior at this time low-key. 这种背景下,法国在欧洲大陆上的任何对外扩张行动,都可能被外界错误解读,遭到大家的联合抵制,巴黎政府这个时候不得不低调做人。 New Holy Roman Empire is also concealing one's abilities and biding one's time, although Austria benefitted in the Franz hand has developed for more than four years, but this development also made the Austria advantage catch up with the step of time, has not formed the advantage to various countries. 神圣罗马帝国同样在韬光养晦,尽管地利在弗朗茨手中已经发展了四年多,可这种发展也只是让地利跟上了时代的步伐,并没有对各国形成优势。 After annexing the Southern Germany will area, new new Holy Roman Empire entered the internal integration period, in a short time has not done the energy of matter, Franz has not competed for the plan of European hegemony now. 吞并南德意志地区后,新建立的新神圣罗马帝国进入了内部整合期,短期内没有搞事情的精力,弗朗茨现在还没有争夺欧陆霸权的计划。 Both are very law-abiding, the law Austria conflict has not naturally arrived at the ignition time, this created the favorable conditions for the following cooperation without doubt. 两家都很安分,法冲突自然没有到点燃的时候,这无疑为接下来的合作创造了有利条件。 Home secretary Pescini analyzes saying: „ Your majesty, the Austria altruistic goal is not so perhaps pure. 内政大臣佩西尼分析道:“陛下,地利人的目的恐怕没有这么单纯。 According to situation that we know, since the German area unifies the failure, the Vienna government internal position opens the call of overseas colony to start to surge upward. 根据我们了解的情况,自从德意志地区统一失败后,维也纳政府内部主张开辟海外殖民地的呼声就开始高涨。 Now the situation in continental Europe has stabilized, Austria unified the road in German area to break altruistic, Balkan Peninsula very soon Austria should reach the agreement. 现在欧洲大陆的局势已经稳定,地利人统一德意志地区的路已经断了,巴尔干半岛俄应该已经达成了协议。 Regardless of the result of Near East war how, Austria benefitted others the expansion in continental Europe to reach the limit. Even they interests that gets in the Balkan Peninsula, finally can eat is a question mark. 无论近东战争的结局如何,地利人在欧洲大陆上的扩张都到了极限。甚至他们在巴尔干半岛获得的利益,最后能不能吃下去都是一个问号。 Under this background, Austria altruistic may abandon Metternich years very much the national policy, restarts the overseas colonizing strategy. 这种背景下,地利人很有可能抛弃梅特涅时代的国策,重启海外殖民战略。 We need are ready ahead of time, in the future the new opponents must enter the stadium. ” 我们有必要提前做好准备,未来又有一个新对手要入场了。” Before soon, the Paris government determined following national policy- temporarily gives up expanding in continental Europe, focuses on the development overseas colony. 就在不久之前,巴黎政府才确定了接下来的国策-暂时放弃在欧洲大陆上扩张,集中精力发展海外殖民地。 Now the Austria Legare enters overseas colonizing, the French naturally must be vigilant. 现在地利加入海外殖民活动,法国人自然要有所警惕了。 Now or the sail time, in various countries' navy technology has not spread out epoch-making, has the background European power to explode the navy, the difficulty has not been in the desperate situation. 现在还是风帆时代,各国海军技术上还没有拉开划时代的距离,有底子的欧洲大国想要爆海军,难度还没有到令人绝望的地步。 Naturally, this did not mean that the Austria Legare enters the overseas to colonize, the French feared. Just the opposite, the French in overseas colonizing had the absolute advantage to the Austria advantage. 当然,这并不是说地利加入海外殖民,法国人就怕了。恰恰相反,在海外殖民上法国人对地利占据了绝对的优势。 Competitor who however the overseas colonize, not only then Austria benefits, everyone's opponents are many, under normal conditions everyone competes for the colony to restrain mutually. 但是海外殖民的竞争者,不仅仅只有一个地利,大家的对手都很多,通常情况下大家争夺殖民地还是相互克制的。 So long as is not the paramount interest competes, basically gambles in the strength of some region, rarely will use competes full power. 只要不是核心利益争夺,基本上都只是在某个区域的力量进行博弈,很少会倾尽全力争夺。 If a word does not start at earliest convenience, is the winner sweeps the decks. Obviously this is not possible, competitor so many, suppress one, the new country braves. 要是一言不合就开打,那么就是赢家通吃。显然这是不可能的,竞争对手这么多,打压下去一个,还有新的国家冒出来。 Tosses about, was busy suppressing the opponent, where also had the energy to open the colony. Colonizing expands also has the limit, blindly conducts the expansion likely to compensate upside down. 这么折腾下去,都忙着打压对手了,哪里还有精力开辟殖民地。殖民扩张也是有极限的,盲目进行扩张很可能会赔的底朝天。 It is not all lands, has the value of colonizing ; Even the same area, the benefit that is produced by the different national rules finally is also different. 不是所有土地,都拥有殖民的价值;甚至同一地区,由不同的国家统治最后产生的效益也不一样。 Without the strategic value and economic value general colony, usually is who first occupied turned over to who ; If the strategic value is high, benefit rich colony, then a fierce struggle between two evenly matched opponents naturally must have. 没有战略价值、经济价值一般的殖民地,通常都是谁先占了归谁;要是战略价值高、利益丰厚的殖民地,那么一番龙争虎斗自然是少不了的。 In the mid-19 th century, various countries have argued for the overseas colony, because competed for the colony to initiate between the colonial empires the war were few. 19世纪中期过后,各国为海外殖民地发生过争执,但是因为争夺殖民地引发殖民帝国间战争的却非常少。 The reason was the most fertile land is carved up by everyone, the remaining lands were not worth everyone launching the war. Everyone for the benefit, the business of doing business at a loss no one does in the final analysis. 原因就是最肥沃的土地已经被大家瓜分完了,剩下的土地不值得大家发动战争。说到底大家都是为了利益,赔本的买卖没人做。 After pondering the moment time, Napoleon III self-confident saying of: „ To us, this should be a good deed, the Austria altruistic opening overseas colonizes, must intensify the development effort on navy inevitably. 沉思了片刻功夫后,拿破仑三世自信的说道:“对我们来说,这应该是一件好事,地利人开启海外殖民,势必要加大海军上的发展力度。 The military pressure that such a, our native place faces will be smaller. Compared with Austria altruistic, we in the sea advantage, but on big many compared with the land. 这么一来,我们本土所面临的军事压力会小很多。和地利人比,我们在海上的优势,可要比陆地上大的多。 Relations as a result of geographical position, in the overseas colony competes on, Austria was in the natural on strategic disadvantage altruistic. 由于地理位置的关系,在海外殖民地争夺上,地利人处于了天然上的战略劣势。 Only if develops to the African continent in Mediterranean Sea, must go to other regional development, under they must hide from our eyes, but also under must hide from the eyes of English. 除非只是在地中海向非洲大陆发展,要去别的地区发展,他们都要从我们的眼皮子底下过,还要从英国人的眼皮子底下过。 They the strength in the overseas putting is bigger, in the future diplomatically their more does not dare to get angry with us, otherwise we can catch their necks momentarily. ” 他们在海外投入的力量越大,未来在外交上他们就越不敢和我们翻脸,不然我们随时可以卡住他们的脖子。” Then, Napoleon III look one dark. The situation that Austria benefits truly as he said that opened the overseas colony to be in the disadvantage, exposed the weakness before them. 说完,拿破仑三世神色一暗。地利的情况确实如他所说,开辟海外殖民地处于了劣势,把弱点暴露在了他们面前。 But grasps the English of arrange/cloth Tuoluo channel, never didn't catch their necks? Once both countries have the war, the English can divide into two French Navy momentarily, enabling their head and tail to look at each other. 可是掌握直布陀罗海峡的英国人,何尝又不是卡住了他们的脖子呢?一旦两国发生战争,英国人随时可以将法国海军一分为二,让他们首尾不能相顾。 Why the Austria Libyan government will give up opening the colony in the overseas, is really they brings the benefit is not interested to the colony? 为什么地利政府会放弃在海外开辟殖民地,难道真的是他们对殖民地带来利益不感兴趣么? Obviously is not possible, everyone was clear that overseas colonizing can bring the rich benefit. But to overseas colonizing, geographical position extremely pit that Austria benefitted, in overseas colonizing process they suffered a loss. 显然是不可能的,大家都清楚海外殖民能够带来丰厚的利益。可是对海外殖民来说,地利的地理位置太坑了,在海外殖民过程中他们吃亏了。 Has not grown strong fortunately, by strength that Austria benefits, strategic value general, and economic value general colonizing can also preserve, once met the fat, that definitely cannot snatch UK , France. 没有发展壮大还好,凭借地利的实力,战略价值一般、且经济价值一般的殖民还可以保住,一旦遇到了肥肉,那肯定是抢不过英法的。 For several strategic value not high and colonies of low economic value, the investment massive financial resource development navy, looks like in the beforehand Austria Libyan government, such payout and return are not proportional. 就为了几块战略价值不高、经济价值不高的殖民地,就投入大量的财力发展海军,在之前的地利政府看来,这样的付出和回报不成正比。 But the time is changing, with the development of industrialization, in those days seemed like the weak overseas colony, exposed the value again. 可是时代在发生变化,随着工业化的发展,往日看来是鸡肋的海外殖民地,再次展露出了价值。 Do not look that Austria benefitted in the geographical position as if to suffer a loss, was Franz is clear, with the development of navy technology, this weakness in the future can getting smaller. 不要看地利地理位置上似乎吃亏了,可是弗朗茨清楚,随着海军技术的发展,这种弱点在未来会越来越小。 The sail battleship time, Austria benefits overseas colonizing on far compared with UK , France step onto thousand nautical miles in the distance, this very fatal, means the dual increase of cost and risk. 风帆战舰时代,地利海外殖民在路程远上要比英法多走上千海里,这非常的致命,意味着成本和风险的双重增加。 But with the coming of armored vessel time, the utilization of steam engine on battleship, was gradually being solved from difficult problem. 可是随着铁甲舰时代的到来,蒸汽机在战舰上的运用,距离上的难题正在被逐步解决。 Especially after the Suez Canal clears, the Austria advantage will run out of Mediterranean Sea to enter the range of Indian Ocean, Pacific Ocean and Atlantic Ocean greatly to reduce, the security greatly will also enhance. 尤其是苏伊士运河开通过后,地利冲出地中海进入印度洋、太平洋、大西洋的航程将大幅度减少,安全性也会大大提高。 This is also the Vienna government relaxes one of the French relations reasons, excavates a canal to connect Mediterranean Sea and Red Sea, had been raised by Franz. 这也是维也纳政府缓和法国关系的原因之一,开挖一条运河连通地中海和红海,已经被弗朗茨提了出来。 This need and French cooperate can complete, Austria benefitted in the right to speak of Egypt is too low, even if Franz will succeed to the throne will strengthen the infiltration to this area from now on, was impossible to pursue in a short time. 这需要和法国人合作才能够完成,地利在埃及的话语权还是太低了,就算是弗朗茨继位过后加强了对这一地区的渗透,也不可能短时间内就追上去。 ...... …… Crimea Peninsula, UK , France and Russia conducted the frigid war. The casualties in battlefield, but also in all parties' tolerance range. 克里米亚半岛,英法俄三国进行了惨烈的大战。战场上的伤亡,还在各方的承受范围之内。 But the moist climate, a wide range of gnat and vicious blood sucking insect attack, brought the dissemination of disease, caused massive non-combatant personnel losses to appear, this made one be hard to endure. 可是潮湿的气候、种类繁多的小昆虫、凶狠的血吸虫侵袭,带来了疾病的传播,造成了大量的非战斗减员出现,这就令人难以忍受了。 By the spring of 1854, the allied armies non-combatant personnel losses population, exceeded the casualties in battlefield for the first time. Naturally the Russia person cannot escape by luck, but they can adapt to the local climate compared with the allied armies, the non-combatant personnel losses population is less on the other hand. 到了1854年春季,联军非战斗减员人数,第一次超过了战场上的伤亡人数。当然俄国人又没有能够幸免,只不过他们比联军更加能够适应当地气候,非战斗减员人数相对来说要少些。 The Russian force commands FitzRoy the Sommer stopper, has a dream cannot think, the both sides casualties compared with flaring out is not the recently equipped arrival, instead is the disease helps. 俄军统帅费兹罗伊萨默塞,做梦也想不到,将敌我双方伤亡比拉平的不是新装备的到来,反而是疾病帮了大忙。 Naturally, he did not have the time to pay attention to this point. Now FitzRoy the Sommer stopper in lots of soldiers for the Russian force fell ill to have a headache similarly, the cruel reality of lacking in medical personnel and medicine makes helpless. 当然,他还没有功夫关注到这一点。现在费兹罗伊萨默塞同样在为俄军中大量士兵病倒而头疼,缺医少药的残酷现实让无能为力。 If knows that the pitiful condition of allied armies, it is estimated that FitzRoy Sommer stopper will be happier, if possible, he does not mind to let the Russian force and enemy on island perishes together. 如果要是知道联军的惨状,估计费兹罗伊萨默塞的心情会好很多,如果可能的话,他不介意让岛上的俄军和敌人同归于尽。 This war, has related to the national destiny of Russian Empire. The war conducts the present, over 300,000 Russian force soldiers have dropped down. Only Crimea Peninsula, the Russian force casualties surpassed 70,000. 这场战争,已经关系到了俄罗斯帝国的国运。战争进行到了现在,已经有超过三十万俄军士兵倒下了。光克里米亚半岛,俄军伤亡人数就超过了七万。 A middle-aged military officer returns to the report: Commander, the enemy slowed down the attack intensity recently. According to the captive who we catch confessed, the enemy that side had lots of soldiers to fall ill, it is said caught the cold and dysentery, syphilis.” 一名中年军官回报道:“司令官阁下,最近敌人放缓了进攻强度。根据我们抓到的俘虏交代,敌人那边有大量的士兵病倒,据说是染上了风寒、痢疾,还有梅毒。” Syphilis?” FitzRoy Sommer stopper doubts said “梅毒?”费兹罗伊萨默塞疑惑道 Yes, the commander, is the syphilis!” Middle-aged military officer affirmative replied “是的,司令官阁下,就是梅毒!”中年军官肯定的回答道 Receives this answer, FitzRoy the Sommer stopper does not know that should cry to smile. In Crimea Peninsula besides the war, the recreational activity is very few. 收到这个答案,费兹罗伊萨默塞不知道该哭还是该笑。克里米亚半岛上除了战争之外,娱乐活动是非常少的。 Gambles, tobacco and liquor and woman, is the soldiers most loves. 赌钱、烟酒和女人,就是士兵们的最爱。 These activity Russian force soldiers rarely participate, without the means that who lets the Russian force soldiers is a poor devil? Without money naturally could not play, played was short of the probability of catching an illness also to be naturally small. 这些活动俄军士兵很少参加,没有办法,谁让俄军士兵都是穷鬼呢?没钱自然就玩不起了,玩的少了染病的几率自然也小了。 Opposite British and French army was much better, others had the soldier's rations and pay, has the market demand naturally to produce the market, business of the service industry in the allied armies was hot. 对面的英法联军就好多了,人家都是有军饷的,有市场需求自然就会产生市场,服务业在联军中生意火爆。 Drifts along in the battlefield, passed today, does not know that the tomorrow's lord, naturally must make merry while one can! 都是在战场上混日子的,过了今天,不知道有没有明天的主,自然要及时行乐啦! Because does not pay great attention to the personal hygiene, does not know that in which unlucky egg infection the syphilis, then rapid spread in the army through the service industry. 由于不注重个人卫生,不知道哪个倒霉蛋感染上了梅毒,然后通过服务业迅速在全军蔓延。 ( Note: In the history the Crimean War crosses ten thousand people because of infection syphilis lethal) (备注:历史上克里米亚战争因感染梅毒致死者过万人) This age to syphilis, does not have any effective treatment. Most credible is when just infected takes the antibiotic, what a pity penicillin is still lying down in the Franz laboratory, entering the commercialization operation will never be. 这个年代对梅毒,没有任何有效的治疗方式。最靠谱的就是在刚刚感染的时候服用抗生素,可惜青霉素还在弗朗茨的实验室中躺着,进入商业化运营还遥遥无期。 Without medicine, then meets one's fate with resignation boils directly! The syphilis normal mortality rate also about 20%, the luck good person, can anti- come in any case mostly. 既然没有药物,那么就听天由命直接熬吧!反正梅毒的正常死亡率也就百分之二十左右,运气好的人,多半能够抗过来。 In bad the environment considering the military compound, the soldiers do not pay great attention to the personal hygiene, this mortality rate probably may rise again. 考虑到军营中糟糕的环境,士兵们又不注重个人卫生,这个死亡率大概可能还要再涨涨。 This was the small issue, the cold and dysentery can the life of important person, the mortality rate also lower similarly not. Dies in any case, what sickness isn't same? 这都是小问题了,风寒和痢疾同样可以要人的命,死亡率也低不到哪里去。反正都是死,什么病不是一样呢? Lacking in medical personnel and medicine not only the Russia person, the situation of allied armies is also similar. And the situation of British armed forces is worse, the chaotic logistics system, where most soldiers do not know the field hospital. 缺医少药的又不只是俄国人,联军的情况也差不多。其中英军的情况更加糟糕,混乱的后勤体系,大部分士兵都不知道战地医院在什么地方。 Not necessarily was useful to the hospital, the number of doctor are too small, is unable to satisfy everyone. Only if a military officer, if the ordinary soldier the non- stopper red packet, do not want to obtain the good treatment. 到了医院都不一定有用,医生的数量太少,无法满足到每一个人。除非是军官,普通士兵如果不塞红包,就不要想得到好的治疗。 The drugs of many treatment, need the soldiers to bribe the quartermaster to attain, where otherwise your drugs put do not know. 很多治疗的药品,都需要士兵们贿赂军需官才可以拿到,不然你连药品放什么地方都不知道。 If by some chance discovered that the drugs and hospital are separated by several li (0.5 km), should not be surprised, should not be flustered, this is only the normal operation, even is separated by more than ten kilometers is not accidental/surprised. 万一发现药品和医院相隔数里,不要惊讶,不要慌张,这只是正常操作,就算是相隔十几公里都不算意外。 The mechanical bureaucrats, according to the stipulation handle matters completely, every so often the field hospital moved along with the army, the drugs warehouse was detained in rear area. Must walk all procedures, can move. 机械的官僚们,完全按照规定办事,很多时候战地医院随军队搬迁了,药品仓库被滞留在了后方。必须要把所有的程序走完,才能够进行移动。 Spoke a joke: Transported Balaclava a more than 150 tons vegetables named Trail blazer transport ship, but the military supplies department suddenly discovered this ship procedure not entire, therefore refused the commodity that it carried to disembark. 讲一个笑话:一艘名叫“先驱者“号的运输船就把150多吨蔬菜运到了巴拉克拉瓦,但军需部门突然发现这艘船手续不全,因此严禁它携带的物资下船。 According to the stipulation, must first return to after London complement procedure, these commodities can register to go into storage. Finally the procedure complemented, more than 150 tons vegetables also deteriorated rottenly. 按照规定,必须要先回伦敦补全手续过后,这些物资才可以登记入库。最后手续补全了,这150多吨蔬菜也都腐烂变质了。 Properly speaking should discard processing? Finally the mechanical bureaucrats, received in these commodities the warehouse directly, then distributed to the army. 按理来说应该报废处理吧?结果机械的官僚们,直接把这些物资收入了仓库中,然后下发到了部队。 The consequence can be imagined, historically in the post-war statistics, the British armed forces rear services headquarters to the losses that the expeditionary force caused, far exceeded the Russia person. 后果可想而知,历史上战后统计中,英军后勤部给远征军造成的损失,远超过俄国人。
