No matter many plans, the war must decide the victory and defeat in the battlefield. While Prussia two countries diplomatic contest, the Lithuanian campaign also erupted. 不管有多少算计,战争还是要在战场上分出胜负。在普俄两国外交博弈的同时,立陶宛战役也爆发了。 At this time, Moltke had fallen into the awkward position. Must fights a decisive battle in the Lithuanian area and enemy, this is a puzzled issue. 这个时候,毛奇已经陷入了尴尬境地。要不要在立陶宛地区和敌人决战,这是一个令人纠结的问题。 The Russia navy stagnated for more than ten years, has fallen behind the time. But this outdated fleet, is not federation that tiny version navy can compare. 俄国海军停滞了十几年,早就落后于时代。可这支老掉牙的舰队,也不是普波联邦那支袖珍版海军能比的。 At this time is different in those days, this war Prussia both sides made the preparation, the Tsar government stored up a lot of strategic resources in St. Petersburg, hit one year or so not to lack the commodity. 今时不同往日,这次战争普俄双方都做了准备,沙皇政府在圣彼得堡囤积了大量的战略物资,打个一年半载根本就不缺物资。 Under this situation, the thalassocracy advantage can display completely. Ivanov launches the Lithuanian campaign now, is to use these advantages. 在这种背景下,海权优势可以完全发挥出来。伊万诺夫现在发动立陶宛战役,就是想要利用这些优势。 Lost the thalassocracy, runs up to coastal area of Baltic Sea and enemy fights a decisive battle, in the enemy has in the situation of preparation, Moltke indicated: Oneself also not insane. 丧失了海权,跑到波罗的海沿岸和敌人决战,还是在敌人有准备的情况下,毛奇表示:自己还没有疯。 The issue is the war is not you thinks not to hit, can not hit. The Russia person has initiated attacked, only if gives up Lithuania, Latvia and other areas, otherwise can only brace oneself on. 问题是战争不是你想不打,就能够不打的。俄国人已经发起进攻了,除非放弃立陶宛、拉脱维亚等地区,不然就只能硬着头皮上。 Giving up is not possible, once the Lithuanian area falls to the enemy, the flames of war will burn to the eastern Prussia area again. The victory in the first Prussia war obtaining, total loss. 放弃是不可能的,一旦立陶宛地区沦陷,战火将再次烧到东普鲁士地区。第一次普俄战争中取得的战果,将全部丧失。 If changes an enemy, perhaps Moltke also dares to bet, looks for the opportunity broken enemy, what a pity met for Ivanov who is famous conservatively, that basic on does not have any function. 如果换个敌人,毛奇或许还敢赌一把,寻找机会破敌,可惜遇到了以保守著称的伊万诺夫,那根本就没有任何作用。 Warsaw, federation general headquarters 华沙,普波联邦总指挥部 „Marshal, or we launch the attack from the Belarus area, makes to counter-attack Collins stance, forcing the enemy to drop the Lithuanian campaign plan?” One in the military officer proposed year after year “元帅,要不我们从白俄罗斯地区发起进攻,做出反攻斯摩林斯克的架势,逼迫敌人放弃立陶宛战役计划？”一名中年年军官提议道 Europe not „attacking the enemy's rear in order to compel him to give up his own attack” literary reference, but similar war template, does not lack. 欧洲没有“围魏救赵”的典故,但类似的战争模板,还是不缺的。 Moltke shakes the head: „Useless, the enemy deployed 30 infantry divisions and two cavalry divisions in the Belarus area, we radically on does not have any opportunity.” 毛奇摇了摇头:“没用的,敌人在白俄罗斯地区部署了三十个步兵师、两个骑兵师,我们根本就没有任何机会。” If in the field operation, Moltke has the confidence to get rid of this enemy, but this is not possible, with Ivanov's attitude, these Russian force will definitely choose to cling to tenaciously. 如果在野战中,毛奇有信心干掉这支敌军,可这是不可能的,以伊万诺夫的作风,这些俄军肯定会选择死守。 If really hits, no matter the time with enough time, in the Moltke hand this precious mobile military did not consume 7788. The people did not have, but also does the important place do? 真要是一路打过去,不管时间来不来得及,毛奇手中这支宝贵的机动兵力也消耗得七七八八了。人都没了,还要地干嘛？ Looks Russian force troop disposition that on the map labels, Moltke deep sighing. Erupts to start from the second Prussia war, general army hits very aggrievedly. 看着地图上标注的俄军兵力部署,毛奇深深的叹了一口气。从第二次普俄战争爆发开始,普军就打得很憋屈。 It is not they not diligently, the issue absolutely does not have the leeway of display. Although general army battle efficiency is slightly strong, but this disparity was still limited, the Russian force can make up with the quantity. 不是他们不努力,问题是根本就没有发挥的余地。普军战斗力虽然略强,但这个差距仍然有限,俄军可以用数量来弥补。 After hesitant moment time, Moltke to map one finger/refers: „Orders the army of north line to give up Latvia, retreats the Lithuanian area.” 犹豫了片刻功夫后,毛奇对着地图一指:“命令北线的部队放弃拉脱维亚,退守立陶宛地区。” First wins does not win, the final winner is a victor. Moltke has prepared for came east Prussia battle again, loses are not related greatly, the most important thing is must become the victor. 先赢不是赢,最后的赢家才是胜利者。毛奇已经做好了再来一次东普鲁士会战的准备,损失大没关系,最重要的是必须要成为胜利者。 ...... …… In the battlefield Prussia both countries display their wisdom and bravery, in the diplomacy both countries are also clouds of smoke float over. Vienna becomes the battlefield of two countries confrontation once again, Austria benefitted Ministry of Foreign Affairs to live it up, Schonbrunn Palace was also lively. 战场上普俄两国斗智斗勇,外交上两国也是硝烟弥漫。维也纳再次成为了两国交锋的战场,奥地利外交部热闹了,美泉宫也热闹了。 In order to avoid troublesome, Franz lived in seclusion and declined visitors. Without the means persuasive speaker are too many, Emperor also worries, the best way does not receive guests. 为了躲开麻烦,弗朗茨都闭门谢客了。没办法说客太多,皇帝也犯愁,最好的办法就是不见客。 Franz discovered once again relative many troubles, said actually not these people do not understand meddle well-mannered, chatty and carelessly, if really this were on the contrary easy to do. 弗朗茨又一次发现亲戚多的麻烦,倒不是说这些人不懂规矩、叽叽歪歪、胡乱插手,真要是这样反倒是好办了。 Can mix the aristocrat who raises one's head on few fools, when persuasive speaker also skillful, hands over words mostly, or is knocks comes to somebody's aid. 能够混出头的贵族就没有几个傻子,当说客也是有技巧的,大都是递个话,或者是敲敲边鼓。 Some people want the Russia person to win, somewhat wants federation to win, but also some want to probe the Franz standpoint purely, judges the policy-making direction of government. 有人想要俄国人赢,有些想要普波联邦获胜,还有的只是单纯想要试探弗朗茨的立场,判断政府的决策方向。 This does not have the matter of means that decided that a country moves toward is not always a matter of Emperor person, the domestic every large or small interest group is a participant. 这是没有办法的事情,决定一个国家走向从来都不是皇帝一个人的事情,国内大大小小的利益集团都是参与者。 This is part of European political game, for example: To promote some bill and resolution, was not Franz wants to do was good, usually first through these channel release news probe responses. 这是欧洲政治游戏的一部分,比如说:想要推动某项法案、决议,不是弗朗茨自己想干就行了,通常都会先通过这些渠道释放消息试探外界的反应。 Is suggested that these people to the government proposal, are equivalent to the Emperor megaphone, so as to avoid Emperor is out personally gambling. 或者是暗示这些人向政府提案,相当于皇帝的御用传声筒,免得皇帝亲自下场博弈。 The Prussia war involves too in a big way, including: Future pattern and German of area unification processes and massive political economic interests continental Europe...... 普俄战争牵扯太大,包括:欧洲大陆的未来格局、德意志地区统一进程、大量的政治经济利益…… Involved are more, related to the interest group are more, the person of care are also more. 牵扯的越多,涉及到的利益集团就越多,关心的人也就越多。 Franz does not want to take a stand ahead of time, naturally hid. Emperor can hide, the senior government officials actually cannot hide, the sending border line of Prime Minister Felix drew back backward. 弗朗茨不想提前表态,自然就躲了。皇帝可以躲,政府高层却躲不掉,费利克斯首相的发际线又向后退了很多。 ...... …… Vienna prime minister observes in Di, federal minister Fordemann said incessantly: „World peace is encountering the serious challenge, the European international order one......” 维也纳首相观邸中,普波联邦公使弗德曼滔滔不绝道:“世界和平正在遭遇严重挑战,欧洲国际秩序正在被一……” Felix is frowning: „Minister, do not say that these do not have the words of nutrition, our time are very precious, do not need to waste.” 费利克斯皱着眉头:“公使阁下,不要说这些没有营养的话,我们的时间都很宝贵,没有必要这么浪费。” Impatient sentiment, naked exposed, really could look at Felix to be tired, even the diplomatic compound was disinclined to listen. 不耐烦之情,赤裸裸的展露了出来,看得出来费利克斯是真的烦了,连外交辞令都懒得听。 Fordemann is not angry, similar matter was not 1-2 times. As a specialized diplomat, he understood the restraint mood, will not feel the view to lead into the work personally. 弗德曼也不恼,类似的事情也不是1-2了。作为一名专业的外交官,他还是懂得克制情绪的,不会把个人感观带入工作中。 „Prime minister, a powerful Russian Empire to Europe, and even the world is not a good choice, the interests of your country......” “首相阁下,一个强大的俄罗斯帝国对欧洲、乃至世界都不是一个好的选择,贵国的利益……” Does not need Fordemann saying that Felix hits to block the way directly: „Not is only Russian Empire, a powerful federation does not have the advantage to us, you must know that the regular destroyer is often more loathful.” 不待弗德曼说完,费利克斯直接打断道:“不光是俄罗斯帝国,一个强大的普波联邦对我们同样没有好处,你要知道规则破坏者往往更令人讨厌。” A firm German person, existence to splitting the country naturally cannot have the favorable impression. Existence of federation, in the German nation person eyes, is a malignant tumor. 一名坚定的大德意志主义者,对分裂国家的存在自然不会有好感。普波联邦的存在,在德意志民族主义者眼中,就是一颗毒瘤。 Prime Minister Felix is the German principle leader who the Austria advantage pushes, counter- must, naturally not need to show due respect for the feelings. 费利克斯首相是奥地利推出来的大德意志主义领袖,反普是必须的,自然不用给面子。 However in front of the politics all have the possibility, so long as the benefit enough, nothing cannot discuss. 不过政治面前一切皆有可能,只要利益够了,没什么不能谈的。 „Regular destroyer” this is a joke, no one is better than whom many, Austria benefits, if obeys the custom, does not have the present base industry. “规则破坏者”这就是一个笑话,谁也不比谁好多少,奥地利如果守规矩的话,也没有现在的基业。 But the Vienna government is the rule maker, kept the back door to oneself early, seeming like the table manners is not ugly. 只不过维也纳政府是规则制定者,早早给自己留了后门,看上去吃相没有那么难看。 Fordemann somewhat is slightly awkward, in the mind the miraculous glow flashes, immediately restored. In the heart has scolded, nearly by repertoire. 弗德曼略有些尴尬,脑海中灵光一闪,随即恢复了过来。心中早就骂开了,差点儿就被套路了。 This is the diplomatic meeting, the bad attitude of Prime Minister Felix, is one diplomatic means? 这是外交会晤,费利克斯首相的恶劣态度,何尝不是一种外交手段呢？ Experienced this small interlude, Fordemann does not have the thoughts to continue to talk circuitously, he feared that continues the heart unable to bear. 经历了这个小插曲,弗德曼没有心思继续绕圈子,他怕继续下去自己心脏受不了。 „Prime minister, we have the sincerity very much. So long as your country is willing to stop supporting the Russia person, after the war Ukraine and very soon were Balkan is a your country.” “首相阁下,我们很有诚意。只要贵国肯停止支持俄国人,战后乌克兰和俄属巴尔干就是贵国的了。” Related to the benefit, Felix's attitude was more moderate, does intentionally asking of doubts: „ Sincerity, where? Haven't I seen? 涉及到了利益,费利克斯的态度缓和了一些,故作疑惑的问:“诚意,在什么地方？我怎么没有看到？ Works as the sincerity with the territory of Russia person, but also wants us to dispatch troops to take, your country such sincerity is really astonishing! ” 拿俄国人的领土当诚意,还要我们自己出兵去取,贵国这样的诚意还真令人吃惊啊！” What matter does not need to do, federation obtains Ukraine and very soon on the support Austria advantage is the Balkan Peninsula, seemingly profits, has far-reaching idea actually. 什么事都不用干,普波联邦就支持奥地利获得乌克兰和俄属巴尔干半岛,看似占便宜,实则是暗藏玄机。 Two Prussia wars have made the Berlin government sober completely, Russian Empire is a not being able to kill cockroach, even if won this war, how long will unable to want still to resurge. 两次普俄战争已经让柏林政府完全清醒了,俄罗斯帝国就是一个打不死的小强,就算是赢了这次战争,要不了多久也会死灰复燃。 Gets down again and again, their anything matter did not need to do. To obtain an international environment of calm and steady development, must find the person to share the hatred. 这么周而复始下去,他们就什么事都不用干了。想要获得一个安稳发展的国际环境,必须要找人分担仇恨。 The most ideal ally is the Ottoman empire, what a pity this mud cannot hold the wall, is not really a big help. 最理想的盟友是奥斯曼帝国,可惜这位烂泥扶不上墙,真的不顶事。 Next is the Northern European federation, it is a pity that they offended the Dane, had the Dane to hold back, the Northern European federation not possible and they formed an alliance. 其次是北欧联邦,遗憾的是他们得罪死了丹麦人,有丹麦人扯后腿,北欧联邦根本就不可能和他们结盟。 Again is Central Asia and Far East empire, is similar to the Ottoman empire, is not a big help, won over unable to play the major role. 再然后是中亚各国和远东帝国,和奥斯曼帝国差不多,都是不顶事的,拉拢过来也起不了多大作用。 Austria benefits originally not in the ally category of Berlin government, but the situation compels not to have the means that to win war, they must make the Vienna government give up supporting the Russia person. 奥地利原本不在柏林政府的盟友范畴中,只是局势逼得没办法,为了赢得战争,他们必须要让维也纳政府放弃支持俄国人。 Was seen through an affair, Fordemann is not angry, said as before with a laugh: „ Prime minister, the words cannot say. We caused heavy losses to the Tsar government in the war, your country seizes these areas is an armed parade. 被拆穿了,弗德曼也不恼,依旧笑呵呵道:“首相阁下,话不能这么说。我们在战争中重创了沙皇政府,贵国占领这些地区就是一次武装游行。 If your country wants, but can also link the Volga river bank to take away directly together, we will support. ” 如果贵国愿意,还可以直接连伏尔加河畔一起拿去,我们都会支持。” Felix shakes the head, opening the map knows where „the Volga river bank” is, that is the Austria advantage can put out a hand? 费利克斯摇了摇头,打开地图就知道“伏尔加河畔”是啥地方,那是奥地利能够伸手的么？ „We may not have your country that hearty appetite, suddenly Austria friendship is well-established, our territory to Russian Empire has no interest.” “我们可没有贵国那么好胃口,俄奥友谊源远流长,我们对俄罗斯帝国的领土没有任何兴趣。” This is the real soul talk, Felix's territory to the Russia person has no interest, intention that the Vienna government has not peeped. 这是真心话,费利克斯对俄国人的领土没有任何兴趣,维也纳政府也没有窥视的意图。 Naturally, Russia person , if not want, insists to deliver, everyone will not reject. 当然,俄国人要是不想要,硬要送过来,大家也不会拒绝。 After hesitant moment time, seemed like waged a fierce struggle at heart, Fordemann's saying slowly: „ If in addition German federation? 犹豫了片刻功夫后,似乎是进行了一场剧烈的心里斗争,弗德曼缓缓的说道:“如果加上德意志联邦呢？ So long as your country is willing to stop supporting the Russia person, we no longer opposed that your country annexes the German federation. ” 只要贵国肯停止支持俄国人,我们就不再反对贵国兼并德意志联邦。” The implication, Felix has listened. „No longer opposition” in other words is: Did not support and did not oppose, tacitly approves the Austria advantage to annex the German federation. 言外之意,费利克斯已经听出来了。“不再反对”换句话说就是:不支持、不反对,默认奥地利吞并德意志联邦。 Said frankly, Prime Minister Felix heart movement. However has not revealed, according to the current situation, the Berlin government can give such commitment is the limit. 坦率的说,费利克斯首相心动了。不过没有表露出来,按照目前的情况,柏林政府能给这样的承诺已经是极限。 The same matter, traded the Tsar government, without the preparation person also expressed support for directly. 同样的事情,换了沙皇政府,没准备人还直接表示支持了。 Does not need to suspect that Alexander II won the war to be determined, any male lord is the generation of being adaptable to the situation. 不用怀疑亚历山大二世赢得战争决心,任何一位雄主都是能屈能伸之辈。 To Russian Empire, European hegemony that is the future matter, at present first won the war. 对俄罗斯帝国来说,欧陆霸权那是未来的事情,眼下还是先赢得战争。 Federation is also so, but they were been too big by English's influence, without the means achieves in that share. 普波联邦也是如此,只不过他们受英国人的影响太大,没有办法做到那个份儿上。 „ Your excellency proposition has no value, if traded to make in 1853, your country had this sincerity, then the matter has been solved. “阁下的提议没有任何价值,如果换作1853年,贵国有这份儿诚意,那么事情早就解决了。 By the present, your excellency thought that your standpoints are important? As far as I know, the wound of your country previous war has not licked cleanly. 到了现在,阁下觉得你们的立场还重要么？据我所知,贵国上一次战争的伤口都没有舔干净。 After this war, how long your country needs training, are 20 years, 30 years? 这次战争过后,贵国需要修养多久,二十年、还是三十年？ We really must take action, even how do you oppose to be able? Fights a war to the battlefield , do you dare? ” 我们真要采取行动,你们就算是反对又能怎么样？到战场上打一仗,你们敢么？” This does not despise, the reality is so brutal. Won the war to start, federation wanted to restore the strength, but also had a long way to go. 这不是鄙视,现实就是如此残酷。赢了战争只是开始,普波联邦想要恢复实力,还有很长的路要走。 Cannot to interfere with Austria benefits, bets completely own family property? 总不能为了干涉奥地利,就把自己的家底全部赌进去？ Has learning from another's mistakes of Colombia, no one can guarantee that the Vienna government changes the mind, punches them one to receive the hand. 有哥伦比亚的前车之鉴在,谁也不能保证维也纳政府改变主意,揍他们一顿就收手。 The chip must look at the time of throwing, even if the priceless thing, appeared in the incorrect time, that was not worth a red cent. 筹码也要看抛出来的时间,即便是价值连城的东西,出现在了不对的时间,那也是一文不值。 Fordemann look changes, immediately restored: „ Prime minister, that must look at how you thought. If these conditions cannot make you move, if that the Russia person did win the war? 弗德曼神色微变,随即恢复了过来:“首相阁下,那要看你怎么想了。如果这些条件不能令你动心,那么假如俄国人赢得战争呢？ Looks over the entire world, having the strength threatens your country is not many, Russian Empire exactly is one of them. 纵观全世界,有实力威胁到贵国已经不多了,俄罗斯帝国恰好是其中之一。 How long Alexander II reforms, Russia person from previous war, if made them win the war, continued to develop your country to feel relieved? 亚历山大二世改革才多久,俄国人就从上一次战争中走了出去,如果让他们赢得战争,继续发展下去贵国就能放心么？ Tsar government's greedy to land is without limits, opens the map to know how long the boundary line of your country and Russian Empire, will have the friction to be inevitable in the future. 沙皇政府对土地的贪婪是无止境的,打开地图就知道,贵国和俄罗斯帝国的边界线有多长,未来发生摩擦是必然的。 Leaves a hidden danger with it, is inferior to now them, except that. Your country can also seize the chance to enter Black Sea, turns into the inland sea Black Sea by the strength of your country is the time issues, no one has the ability to prevent. ” 与其留下一个隐患,不如现在将他们除去。贵国还可以趁机进入黑海,以贵国的实力将黑海变成内海都是时间问题,谁都没有能力阻挡。” Fordemann said the worry of Vienna government, the development potential of Russia person is too big, then the huge territory, no one knows that will breed anything to be pregnant. 弗德曼说出了维也纳政府的担心,俄国人的发展潜力太大,那么庞大的领土,谁也不知道会孕育出什么怀胎。 In comparison, the threat of federation was much smaller. Even if won the war, cannot eat up many place by their national strengths, wants to become a true great nation, at least also takes dozens years. 相比之下,普波联邦的威胁就要小得多了。即便是赢得了战争,以他们的国力也吃不下多少地,想要成为一个真正的大国,至少还需要数十年时间。 This is the perfect condition, Austria benefits also to walk step by step, the Vienna government compared with anybody was clear difficulty that the nationality fuses. 这还是理想状态,奥地利也是一步步走过来的,维也纳政府比任何人都清楚民族融合的难度。 It can be said that federation the population of Russian Empire capturing are more, the domestic national issue will be more serious. 可以这么说,普波联邦从俄罗斯帝国夺取的人口越多,国内的民族问题就会越严重。 A dual empire is not easy to play, an active Polish Nationality was unbearable, increases some nationalities to come in again, what distinguishes with Austro-Hungarian Empire of original space and time? 二元帝国可不是那么容易玩儿的,一个活跃的波兰民族就够呛了,再增加一些民族进来,和原时空的奥匈帝国又什么区别？ Even might as well Austro-Hungarian Empire, the Habsburg family operated at least for several hundred years, the rule had struck root in the hearts of the people, the noisy independent person were not sincerely many. 甚至还不如奥匈帝国,起码哈布斯堡家族经营了几百年,统治已经深入人心,闹独立的人真心不多。 After silent moment time, Felix shakes the head: „ Minister, you were wrong. Austria benefits is remaining neutral, has not supported the Russia person. 沉默了片刻功夫后,费利克斯摇了摇头:“公使阁下,你错了。奥地利一直都在保持中立,从来没有支持过俄国人。 What you see is only the normal commercial trade, as one in free trade system, we will not interfere with the market. 你看到的只是正常的商业贸易,作为自由贸易体系中的一员,我们是不会干涉市场的。 If your country wants to shut off the provisioning of Russia person, that buys, so long as you bought the commodity light/only, the Russia person naturally could not buy. ” 如果贵国想要切断俄国人的物资供应,那就花钱买吧,只要你们把物资都买光了,俄国人自然就买不到了。” Fordemann complexion gloomy, his very clear Felix moved a moment ago obviously, but rejected, to him has not remained including the opportunity of further negotiating. 弗德曼脸色阴沉了下来,他非常清楚费利克斯刚才明明动心了,但还是拒绝了,连进一步谈判的机会都没有给他留。
