On April 22 , 1867, the London peace conference convened. The entire world more than 20 country representatives get together in London, discussed this special war. 1867年4月22日,伦敦和会召开。全世界二十余个国家代表齐聚伦敦,商议这场特殊的大战。 Since this has been the anti-France war, affects the country in the world many and related to battle region broadest and largest war. 这是反法战争以来,全世界波及国家最多、涉及交战区域最广、规模最大的战争。 Without a doubt, this is also suffers the greatest loss, an economic loss biggest war, the total military strength loss of warring parties surpasses 2 million, various countries always the economic loss surpasses 2 billion aegises. 毫无疑问,这也是伤亡最惨重、经济损失最大的一次战争,交战双方的总兵力损失超过两百万,各国总经济损失超过二十亿神盾。 ( About 1 billion pounds, equivalent to golden 7322.38 tons) (约合10亿英镑,折合黄金7322.38吨) If nothing else, light/only looked at the personnel casualty and economic loss, all countries in the world fails to explode on the collective. Must know that many state population less than 2 million, the entire country is unworthy 2 billion aegises. 别的不说,光看人员伤亡和经济损失,世界各国就集体哑火了。要知道很多国家人口都不到两百万,整个国家都不值20亿神盾。 Loss biggest naturally is the Russia person, was not only the army loses the serious, domestic economy was damaged, but also threw the city lost territory, did to throw the position of hard-won world supremacy. 损失最大的自然是俄国人,不光是军队损失惨重,国内经济遭到了重创,还丢城失地,把来之不易的世界霸权之位搞丢了。 If comes again one time, the Russia person so will not be definitely direct comes up headstrongly. 如果重来一次的话,俄国人肯定不会就这么直接莽上去。 In the Paris conference Schleswig and Holstein two duchies delimited to Denmark, Prussia invaded the war of Denmark to encounter various European countries to oppose, they can definitely select the circuitous method to solve the problem. 巴黎会议上把石勒苏益格和荷尔斯泰因两公国划给了丹麦,普鲁士入侵丹麦的战争遭到了欧洲各国反对,他们完全可以采用迂回方式解决问题。 Naturally, the circuitous diplomatic means Russia person does not excel, seems like also the insufficient power and prestige, is unable to demonstrate their Europe hegemon strong wind. 当然了,迂回外交手段俄国人不擅长,看上去也不够威风,无法展示他们欧洲霸主的雄风。 Has not thought, originally is used for the vertical prestige the war, finally buried the hegemony of Russian Empire, a big empire was done suffocates. 万万没想到,本来是用来立威的战争,最后埋葬了俄罗斯帝国的霸业,一个大帝国被搞得奄奄一息。 The negotiations fell into the talking nonsense pattern from the beginning, the Russia delegation verbal battle outstanding heroes, besides Danish representative helps, they fell into directly are besieged the condition. 谈判一开始就陷入了扯淡模式,俄国代表团舌战群雄,除了丹麦代表帮忙外,他们直接陷入了被围攻状态。 This is the enemy many drawbacks, if Poland is also a country, this meets is Eight-Nation Alliance that the Russia person faces.( Prussia kingdom, Ottoman empire and Central Asia four country and Poland, **** empire) 这是敌人多的弊端,如果波兰也算是一个国家的话,这会俄国人面对的就是八国联军。(普鲁士王国、奥斯曼帝国、中亚四国、波兰、****帝国) Wrangling between belligerent country, other national representatives naturally watched the fun. If everyone participates, the Russia person can also the tragedy. 交战国之间的扯皮,其它国家代表自然看热闹了。如果大家都参与的话,俄国人还会更加悲剧。 The diplomatic activities of Prussian have an effect, gained the understanding of most European countries, they provided massively to the Russia person disadvantageous evidence, obviously is the preparation is full. 普鲁士人的外交活动还是起了作用的,获得了大多数欧洲国家的谅解,他们提供了大量对俄国人不利的证据,显然是准备充分。 After first day the conference ended, suddenly foreign minister Clarence Ivanov knows that the matter went bad, at the same night benefits the representative Wessenberg secret meeting with Austria. 第一天会议结束后,俄外交大臣克拉伦斯-伊万诺夫就知道事情坏了,连夜和地利代表韦森贝格密会。 Clarence Ivanov has not beaten around the bush, saying that comes straight to the point directly: Count, we need the help of your country now!” 克拉伦斯-伊万诺夫没有绕弯子,直接开门见山的说道:“伯爵阁下,现在我们需要贵国的帮助!” After silent a while, Austria benefits foreign minister Wessenberg saying: We are the allies, the mutual help should be, what help the marquis needs.” 沉默了一会儿后,地利外交大臣韦森贝格才开口说道:“我们是盟友,相互帮助是应该的,侯爵阁下需要什么样的帮助。” The goal of Russia person he is clear, however must install now muddled, can obtain a more advantageous position, re-establishes the leading power in suddenly Austria Union. 俄国人的目的他是一清二楚,然而现在必须要装糊涂,才能取得更加有利的地位,重新确立俄同盟中的主导权。 Clarence Ivanov has not thought so many, the European hegemony exchanges ownerships to become the foregone conclusion, falls into a native of France hand, falls into Austria to benefit in the hand, without their anything matter. 克拉伦斯-伊万诺夫没有想那么多,欧陆霸权易主成为了定局,无论是落入法国人手中,还是落入地利手中,都没有他们什么事。 The leading power in suddenly Austria Union, to losing European hegemony Russia person, now is not important. 同盟中的主导权,对失去欧陆霸权的俄国人来说,现在也没有那么重要了。 „The present diplomatic situation is disadvantageous to us, I hope that your country can display the influence, reverses this aspect!” “现在的外交局势对我们非常不利,我希望贵国可以发挥影响力,扭转这种局面!” The one-sided situation, came as a surprise to Tsar government completely, most European countries in their plans should have the neutrality, rather than stands in the opposite of Russia directly. 一边倒的情况,完全出乎了沙皇政府的预料,在他们的计划中大部分欧洲国家应该会采取中立态度,而不是直接站在俄罗斯的对立面。 This is the Russia person has not transformed the mentality with enough time, still led into itself European hegemon role. 这是俄国人没有来得及转变心态,依然把自己带入了欧洲霸主的角色。 Russian Empire of European hegemon time, everyone is extremely even discontented, still few countries dare to reveal, the neutrality is the standpoint of small country. 欧陆霸主时代的俄罗斯帝国,大家就算是非常不满,也没有几个国家敢表露出来,中立就是小国的立场。 Now was different, Russian Empire not only the vitality in the war damages severely, fell into the civil war, the position in the world has greatly reduced, does not frighten various European countries. 现在不一样了,俄罗斯帝国不但在战争中元气大伤,又陷入了内战中,在世界上的地位已经大大降低,吓不到欧洲各国了。 In those days is a scapegoat, at this time erupted. Before then, the Tsar government also conducted the diplomatic public relation, looked that the result knows they are more of a hindrance than a help. Not only has not drawn the ally, instead advanced the opposite some countries. 往日里受了气的,这个时候就爆发了。在此之前,沙皇政府也进行了外交公关,看结果就知道他们是帮了倒忙。不但没有拉到盟友,反而把一些国家推到了对立面。 In this case, they have to seek the support that Austria benefits. Starting from 1815 Congress of Vienna, Austria benefitted was in the important position in the European political diplomacy. 这种情况下,他们不得不寻求地利的支持。从1815年的维也纳会议开始,地利就在欧洲政治外交中占据了重要地位。 Twice establishes the Vienna system, is Metternich diplomacy peak. Has continued now, Austria benefits the influence in European political diplomacy to rank among the best. 两次建立维也纳体系,更是梅特涅外交的巅峰。一直持续到现在,地利在欧洲政治外交上的影响力都是数一数二的。 This political diplomacy influence, is Franz has paid attention to one of the table manners reasons. 这种政治外交影响力,也是弗朗茨一直注意吃相的原因之一。 The average people look like this political diplomacy influence is not useful, in fact this guaranteed Austria will benefit will not fall into the isolated state, avoided crisis that will fall into the world-wide all enemy. 普通人看来这种政治外交影响力没有什么用,实际上这保证了地利不会陷入孤立状态,避免了陷入举世皆敌的危机。 Now the Russia person knows that by the isolated consequence, aimed by various countries simultaneously, means that they will fall into the passive condition in the negotiations, needs to pay a bigger price to end this war. 现在俄国人就知道被孤立的后果,同时被各国针对,意味着他们在谈判中将陷入被动状态,需要付出更大的代价才能结束这场战争。 Wessenberg shakes the head saying: Marquis, you too overestimated our influences. The present situation must have the promoters in UK , France, you do not think that the Austria advantage can resist the influence that UK and France add?” 韦森贝格摇了摇头说:“侯爵阁下,你太高估我们的影响力了。现在的情况少不了英法的推手,你不会认为地利可以对抗英法两国加起来的影响力吧?” This being busy cannot help, if really helped on no end of trouble for the future. Must let various countries' transformation diplomatic stand, needs to pay the price. Without enough advantage, why does Austria benefit must pay this price? 这种忙帮不得,真要是帮了就后患无穷。要让各国转变外交立场,也是需要付出代价的。没有足够的好处,地利为什么要付出这个代价? Clarence Ivanov complexion sinks, he knows that the matter is not so simple. If Austria agrees acts, now these small countries are also neutral. 克拉伦斯-伊万诺夫脸色一沉,他知道事情没有这么简单。如果地利肯出手的话,现在这些小国又要中立了。 What cannot compare the influence that UK , France unite, talked nonsense. In fact without involving self-interest, these small countries are the people with no mind of his own. 什么比不上英法联合的影响力,都是扯淡。实际上在不涉及自身利益的情况下,这些小国都是墙头草。 The Vienna system time, the Austria advantage can expel Europe the English, suppresses France in a partner, limits the Russia person in Eastern Europe, depended is in the diplomacy the strategic maneuvering. 维也纳体系时代,地利可以把英国人驱逐出欧洲,把法国压制在一偶,把俄国人限制在东欧,靠的就是外交上合纵连横。 Initially annexed the Southern Germany will area to stir the panic of various European countries, didn't go through the difficulty quickly? 当初吞并南德意志地区引发了欧洲各国的恐慌,不也很快度过了难关? Count, we will not make you help white/in vain.” “伯爵阁下,我们不会让你白帮忙的。” Then, Clarence Ivanov delivers a check of Royal Bank, the above number is the blank, makes Wessenberg fill in directly. 说完,克拉伦斯-伊万诺夫送上一张皇家银行的支票,上面的数字是空白,直接让韦森贝格自己填。 Received the check, Wessenberg somewhat does not know whether to laugh or cry. Is he this person? Austria benefits is unpopular demands bribes, if this contraption today received, tomorrow he must go home to care for the aged. 接过支票,韦森贝格有些哭笑不得。他是这种人么?地利可不流行索贿,这玩意儿要是今天收了,明天他就要回家养老。 This year Austria benefits the minister not to have the poor devil, Franz acts is very natural, in the colony has their industry, at least is also several thousand hectares land start. 这年头地利大臣就没有穷鬼,弗朗茨出手还是很大方的,殖民地上有他们一份儿产业,至少也是几千公顷种土地起步。 These land requirement send people the operation and management, many big rich and powerful people can not spare a glance, but this land is supplementing the fiefdom aristocrat title, multiplied on the instantaneous value. 这些土地需要自己派人经营管理,很多大富豪都可以不屑一顾,可是这土地附带着封地贵族爵位,就瞬间价值倍增了。 The aristocrat title no one will dislike many, particularly brings the fiefdom. Has not related in the colony, will localize in any case sooner or later. 贵族爵位没有人会嫌多,尤其是带封地的。远在殖民地也没有关系,反正早晚都会本土化。 For keeps several family properties to the later generation, Wessenberg pushed the check went back saying: „ Sorry, the marquis, this sum of money I do not dare to receive. 为了给后人多留几份家业,韦森贝格把支票推了回去说:“抱歉,侯爵阁下,这笔钱我可不敢收。 Wish lets various countries' transformation standpoint, must pay the price inevitably, by cannot solve absolutely in a few words. 想要让各国转变立场,势必要付出代价,绝对不是靠三言两语就能够解决的。 If you want to get rid of the current predicament, can start from Sweden-Norway, the Northern European federation was in the pipeline, them must care about the feeling of Dane at this time. 如果你们想要摆脱目前的困局,可以从瑞典-挪威开始,北欧联邦正在组建中,这个时候他们必须要顾及丹麦人的感受。 Then wins over the German federation, exaggerated the Prussia deterrence theory to be OK. The Prussia kingdom wants to become a true great nation, annexing them is the only choice. 然后再拉拢德意志联邦,夸大一下普鲁士威胁论就可以了。普鲁士王国想要成为一个真正的大国,吞并他们是唯一的选择。 Convincing Belgium is not difficult, the French is too big to their threats, they can need you to help, at least can let their neutrality. 说服比利时也不难,法国人对他们的威胁太大,他们会需要你们帮助的,至少可以让他们中立。 Spain, Portugal and your country do not have the conflicts of interest, I believe that your excellency is capable of convincing them remains neutral. ” 西班牙、葡萄牙和贵国没有利益冲突,我相信阁下有能力说服他们保持中立。” Wessenberg gave the solution, can achieve, this must look at the ability of Tsar government. Without the country of conflicts of interest, cannot make others remain neutral, what diplomacy does that also carry out? 韦森贝格给出了解决办法,能不能做到,这就要看沙皇政府的能耐了。没有利益冲突的国家,都不能让人家保持中立,那还搞什么外交? This is the big powers energy, no matter how the Russia person declines, they were still one of the European four big big powers, comprehensive national strength far ultra Prussia and Spain. 这是列强的底气,不管俄国人怎么衰落,他们仍然是欧洲四大列强之一,综合国力远超普鲁士、西班牙。 Listened to this idea, Clarence Ivanov is somewhat awkward. These should be the conventional operations, however they screwed up before unexpectedly, must recover. 听了这个主意,克拉伦斯-伊万诺夫有些尴尬。这些应该算是常规操作,然而他们之前居然搞砸了,现在要重新补救。 Without a doubt, besides the diplomats mentality annoying calamity, the starting point choice mistake of lobby is also an important factor. 毫无疑问,除了外交官们“心态”惹“祸”外,游说的出发点选择失误也是一个重要因素。 This is not someone's responsibility, the Russia person can solve the problem by the diplomatic means that but must wait till the Alexander III period, before then they are familiar with handle all with the military force. 这不是某一个人的责任,俄国人能够靠外交手段解决问题,还要等到亚历山大三世时期,在此之前他们习惯用武力搞定一切。 Under this big background, the diplomat ability is unqualified is normal. Can reach and ruled lines level, even elite diplomat. 在这种大背景下,外交官能力不合格是正常的。能够达到及格线水平,就算是精英外交官了。 Stopped, Clarence Ivanov or the check handed over, very polite saying: Thanks, Count! You obtained the friendship of Russian Empire.” 停顿了一下,克拉伦斯-伊万诺夫还是支票递了上去,非常有礼貌的说道:“谢谢,伯爵阁下!你获得了俄罗斯帝国的友谊。” Has not handled matters, but the opposite party gives to offer advice, money must give. 没办事,但是对方给出了主意,钱还是要给的。 This set of money game rule is the Tsar government bureaucratic group passes through, Clarence Ivanov has been used. 这一套金钱游戏规则是沙皇政府官僚集团内部通行的,克拉伦斯-伊万诺夫已经习惯了。 In fact, this age various countries Ministry of Foreign Affairs is also the corrupt disaster area, held an office to get rich outside should not be too simple. 实际上,这个年代各国外交部也是腐败的重灾区,在外任职发财不要太简单了。 Originally assignment time Wessenberg has also received gifts, but with the rise of position, he gradually became had self-respect, feared that was caught the vulnerable point by the competitor. 原来任职的时候韦森贝格也收过礼,不过随着职位的上升,他逐渐变得爱惜羽毛了起来,怕被竞争对手抓到了小辫子。 Now does not need to handle matters, this sum of money was not so also hot. 现在不需要办事,这笔钱也就不那么烫手了。 Looks in the face of money, Wessenberg added: „ Marquis, the difficulty of this negotiations in Eastern Europe, here is the core of your country, I suggested that you first solve the trouble of Far East, Near East and Central Asia. 看在钱的面子上,韦森贝格补充道:“侯爵阁下,这次谈判的难点在东欧地区,这里才是贵国的核心,我个人建议你们先解决远东、近东、中亚地区的麻烦。 In the Near East area Ottoman empire battlefield has not yielded the result, sending them not to need to pay many prices ; The Far East area I did not understand, but the distance is too far, should not have the too big value. 近东地区奥斯曼帝国战场上没有取得成果,打发他们不需要付出多少代价;远东地区我不怎么了解,不过距离太远,应该没有太大的价值。 Central Asia has lost similarly, lets give up considering as finished simply. So long as protected the paramount interest, other collateral branch details are not worth mentioning. 中亚地区已经丢得差不多了,索性让放弃算了。只要保护了核心利益,别的旁支末节不值得一提。 Embarks from the angle of long-term development, I think the Eastern European issue, is not what important matter. By the strength of your country, the morning of now losing can take carry back. 从长远发展的角度上出发,我认为东欧问题,也不算什么大事。以贵国的实力,现在失去的早晚可以拿回来。 The UK , France petty action is unceasing, the time that if the negotiations delay is too long, is very easy to cause complications. As far as I know, the Prussia kingdom still prepares in the expansion of armaments, might light the flames of war very much again. ” 英法小动作不断,如果谈判拖的时间太长,很容易节外生枝。据我所知,普鲁士王国还在扩军备战,很有可能会再次点燃战火。” Let the Russia person rapidly complete the negotiations, ending this war was really the good intention, after all towed again, the war broke out again is not strange. 俄国人迅速完成谈判,结束这场战争真的是好意,毕竟再拖下去,战争再次爆发也不是啥奇怪的。 According to the convention of Europe, on the conference table cannot attain the benefit, that takes in the battlefield. Current situation, Russian Empire, so long as dares to hit, the frontline army dares to lose. 按照欧洲的惯例,谈判桌上拿不到利益,那就在战场上去拿。目前的情况,俄罗斯帝国只要敢打,前线的军队就敢输。 At least in Eastern European battlefield, without the least bit hope. The logistics supply cannot guarantee, the war has no way to hit. 至少东欧战场上,没有半点儿希望。后勤补给不能够保证,战争根本就没法打。 Digs a pit conveniently, encouraging the Russia person to hit in the future again, that is fulfilling Austria to benefit the responsibility of foreign minister. 顺手挖个坑,鼓动俄国人未来再打回去,那就是在履行地利外交大臣的职责了。 Listened to the explanation of Wessenberg, Clarence Ivanov with a heavy heart. 听了韦森贝格的解释,克拉伦斯-伊万诺夫心情沉重了很多。 Other area lost is not the issue , Eastern Europe that the Russia person lost was the core of Russian Empire. 别的地区丢了都不是问题,俄国人损失的起,东欧地区才是俄罗斯帝国的核心。 Land that now loses, in the future must certainly hit. Russian bear bears a grudge, the Prussia kingdom has replaced the Ottoman empire, becomes their number one enemy. 现在丢失的土地,未来肯定是要打回去的。毛熊可是非常记仇的,普鲁士王国已经取代了奥斯曼帝国,成为了他们的头号敌人。 Once the Tsar government gets strength back, must seek for their unluckiness. Where throws down, where must crawl, the Russia person never lacks the toughness. 一旦沙皇政府缓过劲来,就要寻找他们的晦气。在哪里摔倒的,就要从哪里爬起来,俄国人从不缺乏韧性。 Gentle reminder of Wessenberg, but deepens the impression, making the Russia person remember this hatred frequently. 韦森贝格的善意提醒,只是加深一下印象,让俄国人时刻牢记这次仇恨。
