suddenly Austria Union ends, like the flat land sound startling thunderclap, caused a stir in the world instantaneously. 同盟终结,如同平地响惊雷,瞬间轰动了世界。 What Pacific War and struggle and Queen Victoria the free trade system the secret history, these hot copies were pressed. 什么太平洋战争、自由贸易体系之争、维多利亚女王秘史,这些热门新闻都被压了下去。 A little people of political intelligence know slightly, the international situation must start to shuffle. 稍微有点儿政治头脑的人都知道,国际局势又要开始洗牌了。 Without suddenly Austria Union, is restricting the federation last barrier, has not existed. The Berlin government not possible and other Russia people to prepare, launched the war again. 没有了俄同盟,制约着普波联邦的最后一道障碍,已经不复存在。柏林政府不可能等俄国人准备好了,再发动战争。 These year of Prussia both sides are preparing for the war, the army industry and transportation of two countries, makes the leap progress. 这些年普俄双方都在为战争做准备,两国的军工业和交通,都取得跨越式的发展。 Because the relations of suddenly Austria Union, the Russia person and Austria benefitted in the defense domain started the deep cooperation. For the maximum economical cost, the bureaucrats of Tsar government duplicated Austria to benefit the defense system directly. 因为俄同盟的关系,俄国人和地利在军工领域展开了深入合作。为了最大限度的节省成本,沙皇政府的官僚直接复制了地利军工体系。 In the long run, the behavior of this duplication, killed the Russia war industry domain independent R & D capability completely, the consequence definitely is disastrous. 从长远来说,这种完全复制的行为,断送了俄国军工领域的自主研发能力,后果肯定是灾难性的。 But in a short time, actually greatly strengthened the Russia army industry strength, excessively arrived at the world top level directly. 可在短期内,却大大增强了俄国军工业实力,直接过度到了世界顶尖水平。 army industrial development by what? 军工业发展靠什么? The combined factors that in this needs to consider are many, but summarizes to be able with two characters broad- puts up the cash! 这里面需要考虑的综合因素很多,不过总结起来可以用两个字概括-砸钱! The Tsar government had self-knowledge, knows that own R & D capability was not good, in the pocket also did not have the adequate funds, benefitted the cooperation with Austria simply. 沙皇政府有自知之明,知道自家的研发能力不行,兜里又没有足够的经费,干脆和地利合作了。 Federation was different, from the beginning the Prussia kingdom walks is the self-service research and development path. Limited to the funds, the Prussia domestic army industry has in fact fallen behind. 普波联邦就不一样了,从一开始普鲁士王国走的就是自助研发道路。受限于经费,普鲁士国内的军工业实际上已经掉队了。 This aspect English could not help them, John Bull's army material was also very ordinary. It is not their technologies is not good, is the British Army quantity are too mainly few, the armament procurement order is too small, the military enterprise is not naturally willing to spend the high price to do the research and development. 这方面英国人帮不了他们,约翰牛的陆军装备也很一般。不是他们的技术不行,主要是英国陆军数量太少,装备采购订单太小,军工企业自然不愿意花大价钱搞研发。 Before this situation has continued territory to trade . With exchanging ownerships of Rhineland area, among the barrier in law popularization does not exist horizontally, the Berlin government closes up to the French is also very natural. 这种情况一直持续到了普德领土交易前。随着莱茵兰地区的易主,横在普法之间的障碍不复存在,柏林政府向法国人靠拢也很自然。 In recent years, the military technology transaction between law popularization two countries are getting more and more. 最近几年,普法两国之间的军工技术交易越来越多。 Naturally, law popularization both countries are not the ally, the French have not considered federation the necessity, the cooperation of two countries war industry does not have suddenly Austria is so thorough. 当然,普法两国不是盟友,法国人也没有照顾普波联邦的必要,两国军工业的合作没有俄那么深入。 Cooperation of both sides was limited in the technological exchange, is further not possible. At least before law popularization both countries have not unified the industry standard, is unable to achieve the perfect engagement. 双方的合作被局限在了技术交流上,更进一步是不可能的。至少在普法两国没有统一工业标准前,是无法做到完美衔接的。 Theoretically, suddenly Austria industry standard is unified, the Tsar government duplicates Austria to benefit the war industry directly, should have the advantage in the arms race. 理论上来说,俄工业标准统一,沙皇政府直接复制地利军工,应该在军备竞赛中占据优势。 What a pity the industrial infrastructure of Russia person is too bad, lacks enough outstanding industrial worker, the product that the same production equipment, the Russia life produces, in which defective rate always wants tall some. 可惜俄国人的工业基础太差,又缺乏足够优秀的产业工人,同样的生产设备,俄国人生产出来的产品,其中的次品率总是要高些。 The difference in this aspect, drew the same level the Prussia two countries war industry. Even if there is disparity, still is only restricted in some weaponry, does not have the time disparity. 这方面的差距,又把普俄两国军工业拉到了同一水平。即便是存在差距,也仅限于个别武器装备,不存在时代差距。 Compares the army industry, the change on transportation is more obvious. 相比军工业,交通上的变化更加明显。 After federation establishes, the short several years time, the Berlin government began in the Polish area 10,000 kilometers railroad, now has been open to traffic 1/3, the remaining road sections will also complete in two or three years one after another. 普波联邦建立后,才短短数年时间,柏林政府就在波兰地区开工了1万公里铁路,现在已经通车三分之一,剩下的路段也会在两三年内陆续完成。 Not is only the Polish area is constructing the railroad greatly, other Prussia areas has not been idling, for example the Lithuanian area, planned 2 line main lines, in addition attached branch, Chief Head as high as 4000 km. 不光是波兰地区在大建铁路,普鲁士其它地区也没有闲着,比如说立陶宛地区,就规划了二条线主干线,加上附属支线,总长高达4000公里。 So far, federation being open to traffic railroad total length already as high as 26000 km, once the plan of Berlin government is completed, federation total railroad length will break through 37,000 kilometers. 截止到目前为止,普波联邦通车铁路总里程已经高达26000公里,一旦柏林政府的计划完成,普波联邦总铁路里程数将突破3.7万公里。 This number, can make the federal railway total length surpass France, becomes the Europe's third railroad great nation that is next to suddenly Austria. 这个数字,可以让普波联邦铁路总里程超过法兰西,成为仅次于俄的欧洲第三铁路大国。 Federation is building roads diligently, has not been idling the experience to transportation important Alexander II. 普波联邦在努力修路,见识到交通重要性的亚历山大二世也没有闲着。 In just ten years, the Tsar government began one after another 34,000 kilometers railroad, has been open to traffic 26,000 kilometers, in addition the previous railroad, Russian Empire puts into service the railroad total length to approach 30,000 kilometers. 在短短的十年时间内,沙皇政府就陆续开工了3.4万公里铁路,其中已通车2.6万公里,加上之前的铁路,俄罗斯帝国投入运营的铁路总里程已经逼近3万公里。 From the digit purely, Russian Empire surpassed federation obviously, but situation in fact is actually just the opposite. 单纯从数字上看,俄罗斯帝国显然超过了普波联邦,可实际上的情况却恰恰相反。 The area of Russian Empire is federation more than 20 times, railroad total length number disparity of both sides actually less than 15, the disparity on two countries transportation can be imagined. 俄罗斯帝国的疆域是普波联邦的二十多倍,双方的铁路总里程数差距却不到15,两国交通上的差距可想而知。 Now both sides are racing against time, federation must be in the upper hand without a doubt. By the geographical qualification limit, the Russia person in the railroad construction was doomed to be at a disadvantage. 现在双方都在抢时间,毫无疑问普波联邦要更占上风。受地理条件限制,在铁路建设中俄国人注定处于下风。 Do not look at that the railroad total length of Russian Empire seem more, but in the ample capacity cannot compare federation. This is the climate decision, so long as to the winter, the Russia railroad is unable to guarantee the full load. 不要看俄罗斯帝国的铁路总里程似乎更多,可运力上还是比不上普波联邦。这是气候决定的,只要到了冬天,俄国铁路就无法保证满载负荷。 From the transportation, the Russia person must reach the federation present level, at least needs to construct 150,000 kilometers railroad. This is only restricted to connect some Russia Europe key cities, considering the words of Asia, turns one time not necessarily enough. 从交通上来说,俄国人要达到普波联邦现在的水平,至少要修建15万公里铁路。这仅限于把俄国欧洲部分主要城市串联起来,考虑到亚洲的话,翻一倍都未必够。 Obviously, this is not possible. The Berlin government will not leave behind so many time to the Russia person, if really made the Tsar government solve the traffic problem, only if they can open hang, otherwise the war had no way to hit. 显然,这是不可能的。柏林政府不会给俄国人留下这么多时间,真要是让沙皇政府解决了交通问题,他们除非能开挂,要不然战争根本就没法打。 The entire world watches the news that suddenly Austria Union dismisses, besides the political influence of this alliance, what is most essential is because the alliance dismisses is equal to announcing: The Prussia war started the countdown. 全世界都关注俄同盟解散的消息,除了这个联盟的政治影响外,最关键的还是因为联盟解散等于宣告:普俄战争进入了倒计时。 Eats the melon people unable to bear direct the landscape, as the Tsar government of lead not to mention. The bad news comes, Alexander II pounded N cultural relics on the anger. 吃瓜群众都忍不住出来指点江山,作为主角的沙皇政府更不用说。坏消息一传来,亚历山大二世就怒砸了N件文物。 Damn Habsburg is mixed up, one group of perfidious rebels......” “该死哈布斯堡杂碎,一帮背信弃义的叛徒……” Cursed angrily to resound in Winter Palace. Does not blame Alexander II is so angry, to continue to maintain suddenly Austria Union, they have made the obvious concession, through many channels to Vienna government release good intentions. 怒骂声在冬宫中响起。不怪亚历山大二世如此生气,为了继续维持俄同盟,他们已经做出了明显让步,通过多种渠道向维也纳政府释放善意。 However, all these did without charge. Did not say the repeat engagement 30 years, even if continues the treaty of alliance to five years later, was rejected by Vienna government. 然而,这一切都白做了。不说再次续约三十年,即便是把盟约延续到五年后,都遭到了维也纳政府的拒绝。 Alexander II reforms has basically completed, now bad reforming transforms as the national strength time. It can be said that present every day, to Russian Empire is important. 亚历山大二世改革基本上已经完成,现在差的只是将改革转化为国力的时间。可以说现在的每一天,对俄罗斯帝国都是至关重要。 suddenly Austria Union was the Austria advantage wins the time of peace and development, now needs to win the time for Russian Empire, Austria benefitted suddenly announced that does not play, did this make Alexander II feel sad? 同盟为地利争取到了和平发展的时间,现在需要为俄罗斯帝国争取时间了,地利突然宣布不玩了,这让亚历山大二世情何以堪? Does not need to be many, so long as drags again for five years, Russian Empire can have strength that hangs the dozen of federation. 不需要多,只要再拖上五年,俄罗斯帝国就能够拥有吊打普波联邦的实力。 This is the disparity in mass, is disparity in the development potential. Now the development speed of two countries is quick, however the ceiling upper limit of federation has touched the top, but Russian Empire just started. 这是体量上的差距,更是发展潜力上的差距。现在两国的发展速度都很快,然而普波联邦的天花板上限已经触顶,而俄罗斯帝国才刚刚开始。 Tsar in anger is very fearful, the ministers no one want to touch this brow. Seeing the situation is not right, Aleksandrowicz braces oneself to persuade: 愤怒中的沙皇很可怕,大臣们谁都不想去触这个眉头。见情况不对,亚历山德罗维奇硬着头皮劝说道: Father, now is not the vitality/angry. Since suddenly Austria Union no longer renews a contract, then restricts federation to start the barrier of war not to exist.” “父亲,现在不是生气的时候。既然俄同盟不再续约,那么制约着普波联邦发动战争的障碍就不复存在。” Snort!” Alexander II gets angry said. What fears, left Austria to benefit, can't great Russian Empire beat the enemy?” “哼!”亚历山大二世怒呵道。“怕什么,难道离开了地利,伟大的俄罗斯帝国就不能击败敌人了?” Aleksandrowicz: „ Of course not, is only the present situation is stern. We have made the major concession, the Vienna government still have not been willing to yield, behind this definitely also has the unknown transaction. 亚历山德罗维奇:“当然不是,只是现在的形势非常严峻。我们已经做出了重大让步,维也纳政府仍然不肯让步,这背后肯定还有不为人知的交易。 We can guess boldly, among Austria has the insider trading. The chip in Berlin government hand is limited, can make the Vienna government move, only then...... ” 我们可以大胆的猜测,普之间存在着内幕交易。柏林政府手中的筹码有限,能够让维也纳政府动心的只有……” The one breath said, Aleksandrowicz almost must believe. Naturally, essentially this is only a stair, everyone does not believe Austria both countries will gang up with the same place. 一口气说完,亚历山德罗维奇自己都差不多要信了。当然,本质上这只是一个台阶,大家还是不会相信普两国会勾搭到一起。 The political figure controls the mood, is only the most basic operation. Alexander II is angry false, has not actually arrived is unable the automatic control situation, getting angry to cover the wrong foreign policy after his high-rank. 政治人物控制情绪,只是最基本的操作。亚历山大二世生气不假,却没有到无法自控的地步,发怒只是为了掩盖他上位后的错误外交政策。 Without the means that who let him initially own? Has Peter III this pit goods senior, Russia to the tolerance of this matter dropped several scales. 没办法,谁让他当初亲普呢?有彼得三世这个坑货前辈在,俄国内部对这种事情的容忍度下降了几个档次。 Even if Alexander II made the correct choice, changed the political stand decisively, is the earlier own sparse Austria foreign policy, still received from internal question. 即便是亚历山大二世做出了正确抉择,果断的转变了政治立场,可是前期亲普疏的外交政策,仍然受到了来自内部的质疑。 Now suddenly Austria Union terminates, the home definitely has one group of people to advance on him the responsibility. In the reform the benefit in aristocrat who is damaged, has been looking for the opportunity to launch an attack, Alexander II must cease this possibility. 现在俄同盟终止,国内肯定有一帮人将责任推到他头上。在改革中利益受损的贵族,一直都在寻找机会发难,亚历山大二世必须要杜绝这种可能。 This is also Aleksandrowicz the responsibility that terminates suddenly Austria Union buckles reason that in Austria colludes with on. 这也是亚历山德罗维奇把俄同盟终止的责任扣在普勾结上的原因。 The frame of mind of Russia person, in any event, Russian Empire was unable to tolerate the Austria advantage to unify Central Europe, this means that their European hegemon dreams break. 俄国人的心气还在,无论如何,俄罗斯帝国也无法容忍地利统一中欧,这意味着他们的欧陆霸主梦断。 The Tsar government is unable to yield in German principle, then suddenly Austria Union bursts, passing that explained. Nothing but was said that Berlin Government Bottom line was lower, can compromise in this issue. 沙皇政府无法在德意志统一问题上让步,那么俄同盟破裂,就解释的通了。无非是说柏林政府底线更低,可以在这个问题上妥协。 Real false is unimportant, so long as politically said in the past on line. 真的假的不重要,只要政治上说的过去就行了。 Silent the moment, Alexander II seemed like in the adjustment mood: Oh!” 沉默了片刻,亚历山大二世似乎是在调节情绪:“唉!” „, Things have gotten to this point, we discussed how should deal with!” “罢了,事已至此,我们还是讨论该怎么应付吧!” suddenly Austria Union bursts, the Tsar government also has the expectation early. From joining the Tsar government chooses to join pound- golden system starts, both countries bid good-bye even. 同盟破裂,沙皇政府也是早有预料的。从加入沙皇政府选择加入英镑-黄金体系开始,两国就算是分手了。 Secretary of war Hera Medd: „ Your majesty, did not have suddenly Austria Union, the initiative in a war no longer is we monopolizes. 陆军大臣赫拉梅德:“陛下,没有了俄同盟,战争主动权已经不再是我们独享了。 Judging from the present situation, the railroad project of federation, most three years, the quickest two years can be completed, but our railroad projects at least take five years. 从目前的情况来看,普波联邦的铁路计划,最多三年、最快两年就能够完成,而我们的铁路计划至少需要五年时间。 In the time, we do not get the advantage. The enemies to our so many time, are not now placed in front of us only have two roads. 在时间上,我们已经不占优势。敌人不会给我们那么多时间,现在摆在我们面前的只有两条路。 Either has not prepared while everyone, ahead of time launches the war ; Either completes the defense work, when federation is ready to launch the attack to us. ” 要么趁着大家都没有准备好,提前发动战争;要么做好防御工作,等普波联邦做好准备向我们发起进攻。” Five years this is only the theory digit, in fact as we all know, the transportation of Russian Empire is not five years can solve, most also connects the key city. “五年时间”这只是理论数字,实际上所有人都知道,俄罗斯帝国的交通不是五年能够解决的,最多也就连通主要城市。 Naturally, if can achieve this already enough. Almost soon catches up with one pre-war, the transportation of Europe part. 当然,如果能够做到这一步已经够了。几乎快要赶上一战前,俄罗斯帝国欧洲部分的交通了。 The difference missed, may be able to support over a million armies to battle in the frontline, this number enough and federation hit one. 差是差了点儿,可好歹可以支撑上百万陆军在前线作战,这个数字已经足够和普波联邦打一场了。 The population of Russian Empire is federation 2.8 times, the casualties bearing capacity is much higher, hits the consumption to defeat to calculate very in a big way. 俄罗斯帝国的人口是普波联邦的2.8倍,伤亡承受能力要高得多,打消耗战胜算非常大。 What a pity they do not have so many time, now has to present the choice question. This war is unusual, the Tsar government cannot lose, once defeats means that Russian Empire in dozens years is unable to turn over/to stand up. 可惜他们没有那么多时间,现在不得不做选择题。这次战争非同一般,沙皇政府输不起,一旦战败就意味着俄罗斯帝国数十年内都无法翻身。 The breath of people all of a sudden became heavy, obviously this choice question was not good to do. 众人的呼吸一下子变得沉重了起来,显然这个选择题不好做。 Internal affairs minister Mikhail: „ Cannot wait for the enemy to complete the plan, now the enemy is busy building roads, so much funds were taken, can put in the financial resource to war is limited. 内务大臣米哈伊尔:“不能等敌人完成计划,现在敌人正忙着修路,大量的资金被占用掉,能够投入到战争中的财力有限。 Once makes the enemy complete the plan, the situation was different, when the time comes they can concentrate the complete financial investment to the war. 一旦让敌人完成计划,情况就不一样了,到时候他们就能够集中全部财力投入到战争中。 At this time is different in those days, the international situation had had the tremendous changes, we have made UK , France dread insufficiently, the English will not look like in the previous war to support federation. 今时不同往日,国际局势已经发生了翻天覆地的变化,我们已经不足以令英法忌惮,英国人不会像上一次战争中那么支持普波联邦。 As far as I know, federation fiscal situation also very bad, if before is not, sold the Rhineland area, they have gone bankrupt. 据我所知,普波联邦的财政情况也非常的糟糕,如果不是之前出售了莱茵兰地区,他们早就破产了。 So long as the war breaks out, the Berlin government will fall into the financial trouble quickly. A payment ability limited government, meets outcome is undecided again the war, wants is not easy from financing. ” 只要战争爆发,柏林政府很快就会陷入财政困境。一个偿还能力有限的政府,再遇上一场胜负未定的战争,想要从外界融资可不容易。” The war hits is the money. After having gone through the Near East war and previous Prussia war, the Tsar government had sobered, is not thinking that the second Prussia war can the short time end. 战争打的就是钱。经历过近东战争和上一次普俄战争后,沙皇政府已经清醒了过来,不在认为第二次普俄战争能够短时间结束。 Once the war continues, both sides spell is the financial resource. Does not lack as for the army Tsar government, so long as rich has the soldier. 一旦战争持续下去,双方拼的就是财力。至于军队沙皇政府是不缺的,只要有钱就有兵。 Federation finance is not good, is mainly the finance of Polish government has problems. Prussia after selling place, broke out of the financial crisis. 普波联邦财政不好,主要是波兰政府的财政出了问题。普鲁士在卖地过后,就摆脱了财政危机。 Coming out that who looks , the Polish area may degenerate into the battlefield anytime, naturally does not have the capitalist to be willing in the area to invest the railroad. 谁都看的出来,波兰地区随时都有可能沦为战场,自然没有资本家肯在当地投资铁路。 Now the railroad of federation construction, basically is the government investment. This by government's annual did not select the tax revenue obviously enough, offered loans to be unavoidable. 现在普波联邦修建的铁路,基本上都是政府出资。这显然不是靠政府每年的那么点儿税收就够了的,举债在所难免。 In comparison, Russian Empire is better. The area is big enough, even erupts into the war still in the boundary, some railroad also people of intimate area dare to invest. 相比之下,俄罗斯帝国还好一些。疆域足够大,即便是爆发战争也是在边界上,腹心地区的铁路还有人敢投资。 For example: The railroad from St. Petersburg to Moscow, is the project that Austria Libyan Railway Company invests. 比如说:从圣彼得堡到莫斯科的铁路,就是地利铁路公司投资的项目。 This is very normal, the person who even if favors federation again, does not think that they can project on Moscow. William I am not Napoleon, the battle efficiency is not abnormal. 这很正常,即便是再看好普波联邦的人,也不认为他们能一路打到莫斯科。威廉一世又不是拿破仑,战斗力没那么变态。 First Lord of the Treasury Koksal shakes the head: „ Your excellency, do not forget our finance is also no better. 财政大臣柯克萨尔摇了摇头:“阁下,不要忘了我们的财政也好不到哪里去。 Although had made the preparation ahead of time, but in a short time, Ministry of Finance still could not put out the adequate war funds. ” 尽管已经提前做了准备,但是在短时间内,财政部仍然拿不出足够的战争经费。” The war commits suicide the beast, a war wipes out several years, and even more than ten years of financial revenues, are the normal operations. It can be said that the major war is most catastrophe in finance. 战争就是吞金兽,一场战争打掉数年,乃至十几年的财政收入,都是正常操作。可以说大规模战争是财政上的最大灾难。 Unfortunately such disaster, Russian Empire will experience in just 30 years twice, now soon will conduct the third time. 不幸的是这样的灾难,在短短30年内俄罗斯帝国就经历了两次,现在即将进行第三次。 Russian Empire truly big enterprise has lots of assets, are thick family property, cannot withstand tosses about. 俄罗斯帝国确实家大业大,可是再厚实的家底儿,也经不起这么折腾。 The financial revenue is obviously insufficient, how to extort taxes ruthlessly again, the government not possible to sufficiently collect the war funds by the tax revenue. 财政收入显然是不够的,再怎么横征暴敛,政府也不可能靠税收凑够战争经费。 The best source of war funds, finances in the money market. It is a pity that Tsar government enough credibility, has not wanted to finance in the international market, the concurrent job is having a dream. 战争经费的最佳来源,还是在金融市场上融资。遗憾的是沙皇政府没有足够的信誉,想要在国际市场上融资,兼职就是在做梦。 Internal affairs minister Mikhail remains unmoved: „ No money raises, the domestic collection the adequate fund, goes to the overseas to look. 内务大臣米哈伊尔不为所动:“没钱就去筹措,国内筹集不到足够的资金,就去国外找。 London, Paris and Vienna, any money market is able to provide the adequate fund to us. The benefit that so long as gives is big enough, but also feared that taking advantage of doesn't bring in money? 伦敦、巴黎、维也纳,任何一个金融市场都有能力给我们提供足够的资金。只要给出的利益足够大,还怕借不来钱么? Does not need to consider the cost, this war is not we do not want to hit, can avoid. 不需要考虑成本,这场战争已经不是我们不想打,就能够避免得了。 The price of now paying is big, cannot compare the loss that the disaster incurs to be big. ” 现在付出的代价再大,也比不上战争失败带来的损失大。”
