Can become true Emperor from a rubber chapter of counterattack, Emperor Meiji is not the lord who good to deceive. The army vows solemnly „guarantee”, not only has not made him be able rest assured that instead makes Emperor Meiji lack self-confidence. 能够从橡皮章逆袭成为真正的皇帝,明治天皇可不是好糊弄的主。陆军信誓旦旦的“保证”,不仅没有令他放心,反而让明治天皇心里更加没底。 As a knowledgeable emperor, Meiji Period very clear various European countries sent the army of overseas colony, was any goods. Defeats one indigenous for the lord colonizing army, is nothing radically. 作为一名有见识的天皇,明治非常清楚欧洲各国派到海外殖民地的部队,都是些什么货色。击败一支土著为主的殖民军,根本就算不了什么。 The lead of this war is not the army. Decided truly victory and defeat essential diplomacy, next is the navy. 况且,这次战争的主角也不是陆军。真正决定胜负关键的还是外交,其次才是海军。 Disregarded the guarantee of Dashanyan, Emperor Meiji prudent actual saying: „ Convenes from the Vienna peace conference is only left over for three months, we should also prepare. 无视了大山岩的保证,明治天皇慎重其实的说道:“距离维也纳和会召开只剩下三个月时间,我们也该进行准备了。 Prime minister, this time is led personally by you. Non- extravagant demands brave Austria both countries can support us, but at least needs to make them remain neutral. 首相,这次就由你亲自带队走一趟。不奢求英奥两国能够支持我们,但至少要让他们保持中立。 The rise and fall of empire depend on this...... ” 帝国的兴衰在此一举……” Hirobumi Itou complexion changes, by him the understanding of Emperor Meiji, can determine that the confidence of Meiji Period had come under the attack. 伊藤博文脸色一变,以他对明治天皇的了解,可以确定明治的信心已经受到了打击。 Sends him to visit Europe, not only to attend the Vienna peace conference, what is more important is to seek for the escape route, prepares for the worst. 派他出访欧洲,不仅仅只是为了参加维也纳和会,更重要的还是为了寻找后路,做最坏的打算。 The discerning people know, participating in Vienna peace conference that is a joke. Depending on the Japanese present international standing, is connected including the above the qualifications of conference table not to have. 明眼人都知道,参加维也纳和会那就是一个笑话。就凭日本现在的国际地位,连上谈判桌的资格都没有。 The content from invitation can look, the anti-France coalition invited them to attend the warship auction congress. 从邀请函上的内容就可以看出来,反法同盟只是邀请他们参加军舰拍卖大会。 Establishes the matter of new international order, but also is not one's turn the Japanese government to speak, after all settle down, they observed on the line directly. 建立新国际的秩序的事情,还轮不到日本政府发言,等一切尘埃落定后,他们直接遵守就行了。 Because the reason of Philippine war, this warship auctions, the Japanese government can only buy the soy sauce. 因为菲律宾战争的缘故,就连这次军舰拍卖,日本政府都只能打酱油。 This is not the issue of money. As one of the anti-France coalition, the Spanish is also one of the sellers, how regardless of not possible to sell to own enemy the warship. 这不是钱的问题。作为反法同盟的一员,西班牙人也是卖家之一,无论如何也不可能把军舰卖给自己的敌人。 Even bought uselessly, the Spanish will definitely think the neck of means catarrhs. Before the war ended, the warship is not possible to return to homeland. 就算是买到了都没用,西班牙人肯定会想办法卡他们的脖子。在战争结束前,军舰是不可能回国的。 Under this situation, the Vienna peace conference to the Japanese government, is completely the weak, does not need the prime minister to go into action personally. 在这种背景下,维也纳和会对日本政府来说,完全就是鸡肋,根本就不需要首相亲自出马。 ...... …… The St. Petersburg of January/one month, has put on the silver. Under the piercing cold wind, main street and small alley become unvisited. 一月的圣彼得堡,已经披上了银装。刺骨的寒风之下,大街小巷都变得人迹罕至。 In those days in the poor difficult adversary cafe of bustling place, now also quiet. In the big living room, only has the thin loose 67 people. 往日里门庭若市的菲克星咖啡馆,现在也沉寂了下来。诺大的客厅内,仅有稀稀散散的六七人。 From the manner makings of people, can look besides two leads, remaining is the bodyguards. 从众人的神态气质上,就可以看出来除了两名主角外,剩下的都是保镖。 ...... …… As of a suddenly foreign minister Austria Scar Jimenez main characters, beckons with the hand to hit to block the way: „ Minister, these do not have the words of nutrition, did not need to be redundant. 作为主人公之一的俄外交大臣奥斯卡・希门尼斯,摆摆手打断道:“公使阁下,这些没营养的话,就不用再重复了。 We and your country never have the friendship, now Austria benefits is our ally. To start from us, destroying suddenly Austria Union is not possible. ” 我们和贵国可从来没有友谊,现在奥地利才是我们的盟友。想要从我们这边入手,破坏俄奥同盟是不可能的。” Was broken, Richard has not only been angry, instead showed the satisfactory smile. 被打断了,理查德不仅没有生气,反而露出了满意的笑容。 UK and Russia truly are very difficult and friendship have the relations, in the past more than 30 years, both countries handed over has fought twice, casualties of both sides counted by 100,000 ideas. 英俄两国确实很难和友谊扯上关系,在过去的三十多年里,两国就交过两次战,双方的伤亡都是数以十万计。 In comparison, maintained dozens years, suddenly Austria Union that has almost not erupted the big conflict, can be called „friendship”. 相比之下,维系了数十年之久,几乎没有爆发大冲突的俄奥同盟,才称得上“友谊”。 However, the issue cannot look at the surface. If suddenly Austria relations really intimate, in the day of this world of ice and snow, will not have this secret meeting. 不过,问题不能够看表面。如果俄奥关系真的亲密无间,在这冰天雪地的日子里,也不会有这次密会。 Richard who is good at watching a person's every mood, from the dialogue, has discovered the issue. 擅长察言观色的理查德,从刚才的对话中,已经发现了问题。 Naturally, the signal of bigger Russia person deliberate release, Austria Scar Jimenez is not possibly worthwhile otherwise, when uses the word „now” with emphasis. 当然,更大的可能还是俄国人故意释放的信号,要不然奥斯卡・希门尼斯也犯不着在用“现在”一词的时候加重语气。 „ Minister, I know that between your country and Britain have many misunderstanding, but that was past tense, our vision must proceed to look. “大臣阁下,我知道贵国和不列颠之间存在着很多误会,但那都是过去式了,我们的目光要往前看。 Since the end of European war, French decline has been a foregone conclusion. If we do not take action, then new European hegemon was Austria benefits. 随着欧陆战争的结束,法兰西没落已成定局。如果我们不采取行动的话,那么新的欧陆霸主就是奥地利了。 Now your country and Austria money pouch ally, are not equal to forever are the allies. Must know that the true ally, only exists in the strength coordinated situation. Once balances is broken, the situation was entirely different. 现在贵国和奥地利是盟友,不等于永远都是盟友。要知道真正的盟友,只存在于实力对等的情况下。一旦平衡被打破,情况就截然不同了。 Even if your country dropped the westbound plan, cannot guarantee that the Austria altruistic not Huidong enters. After all, now continental Europe can affect Austria only benefits the hegemony, remaining your country. 就算是贵国放弃了西进计划,也不能保证奥地利人不会东进。毕竟,现在欧洲大陆唯一能够影响到奥地利霸权的,就剩下贵国了。 Your country true ally is 30 years ago Austria benefits, rather than has a new lease of life Holy Roman Empire . ” 贵国真正的盟友是三十年前的奥地利,而不是重获新生的神圣罗马帝国。” In the international competition, is always in inverse proportion. The Austria advantage became powerful, relatively speaking Russian Empire was weakened. 国际竞争中,向来都是此消彼长。奥地利变得强大了,相对而言俄罗斯帝国就被削弱了。 The English felt the threat that the Austria advantage rose, the Tsar government also feel similarly. Even because both countries are the neighbors, the feeling of Tsar government must deeply. 英国人感受到了奥地利崛起的威胁,沙皇政府同样也感受了。甚至因为两国是邻居,沙皇政府的感受还要更深一些。 For the interests of Russian Empire, or is the Tsar government to feel at ease by oneself, had this time secret meeting. 为了俄罗斯帝国的利益,或者说是沙皇政府为了让自己安心,才有了这次的密会。 After contact, Austria Scar Jimenez very disappointed. The English as before are sowing dissension of same old story, is requesting Russian Empire to make anything, rather than Britain must make anything. 只是接触过后,奥斯卡・希门尼斯非常的失望。英国人依旧是老一套的挑拨离间,全都是在要求俄罗斯帝国做什么,而不是不列颠要做什么。 Tearing up suddenly Austria Union is not good, the premise is the benefit must be big enough. Obviously, likes the English in spatial glove white wolf, has not asked for enough pricetag. 撕毁俄奥同盟并非不行,前提是利益必须要足够大。显然,喜欢空手套白狼的英国人,没有开出足够的价码。 „ Your excellency said right, but that is only the possible matter. In the future will not have arrived, finally will have anything, no one can know in advance ahead of time. “阁下说得都对,不过那只是可能发生的事情。未来还没有到来,最终会发生什么,谁也不能够提前预知。 Now suddenly Austria Union is still at least impregnable, we because of a possibility, will not give up our ally. Therefore your excellency has what goal to speak frankly, does not need to circle here. ” 至少现在俄奥同盟依旧牢不可破,我们不会因为一个可能,就放弃自己的盟友。所以阁下有什么目的就直说吧,没必要在这里兜圈子。” suddenly Austria Union develops now, has penetrated each domain of two countries, did not say that relieves can relieve. Once gets angry, both sides will lose seriously. 俄奥同盟发展到现在,已经深入到了两国的各个领域,根本就不是说解除就能够解除的。一旦翻了脸,双方都会损失惨重。 Under this situation, although wanted the development that limited Austria to benefit, the Tsar government to restrain, on has not adopted outwardly any in view of the action. Instead wanting to pin on the enemy, counted on that the English acts the development momentum that breaks Austria to benefit. 在这种背景下,尽管想要限制奥地利的发展,沙皇政府还是克制住了,明面上没有采取任何针对行动。反而是把希望寄托在敌人身上,指望英国人出手打断奥地利的发展势头。 This aspect UK and Russia think similar, no one is willing to be the person who takes the lead at this time, jumps hatred that drawing Austria benefits, making the opponent benefit as the third party in a dispute. 这方面英俄两国想的都差不多,谁都不愿意在这个时候做出头鸟,跳出来拉奥地利的仇恨,让对手渔翁得利。 „ Minister, the Austria advantage does greatly to us is very serious threat, believes your country is not willing to live in Vienna Yin hidden under. “大臣阁下,奥地利做大对我们都是非常严重的威胁,相信贵国也不愿意生活在维也纳的阴隐之下。 In order to relieve this threat, we proposed that both countries destroy this Vienna peace conference jointly, crushes the Austria advantage to establish the ambition of new international order, making the international situation be back to the like three leg of a tripod time, is controlled the world by our three countries together. ” 为了解除这个威胁,我方提议两国联手破坏这次维也纳和会,粉碎奥地利建立新国际秩序的野心,让国际局势重回三足鼎力时代,由我们三国共同主宰世界。” Austria Scar Jimenez shakes the head: „ The sincerity of your country, we felt, but this also by far insufficient. 奥斯卡・希门尼斯摇了摇头:“贵国的诚意,我们感受到了,但这还远远不够。 Destroyed the Vienna peace conference, suddenly Austria Union moved toward the dead end. The price that we must pay is too big, even may cause the domestic economical collapse. 破坏了维也纳和会,俄奥同盟就走向了末路。我们要付出的代价太大,甚至有可能导致国内的经济崩溃。 If behind your country breaks a contract, we must undertake the anger that Austria benefits alone. This inside risk is too big, has gone beyond our bearing capacity. ” 如果贵国后面违约,我们就要独自承担奥地利的怒火。这里面的风险太大,已经超过了我们的承受能力。” Minister Richard guarantees saying: „ High risk has the high income. So long as breaks the situation that the Austria advantage gathered, all payouts are worth. 理查德公使保证道:“高风险才有高收益。只要打断了奥地利聚集起来的大势,所有的付出都是值得的。 The loss as for your country, we can find the way to make up for part. In brief, we will not make the friend suffer a loss. ” 至于贵国的损失,我们可以想办法弥补一部分。总之,我们是不会让朋友吃亏的。” ...... …… The Gatchina temporary palace, takes Alexander III of suddenly Austria two countries condition, at this moment is waging the difficult struggle at heart. 加特契纳行宫,同时拿着俄奥两国条件的亚历山大三世,此刻正在进行艰难的心里斗争。 Condition that the English give, so long as passed the present impact, Russian Empire may soar, takes Austria to benefit, but generation it, becomes new European hegemon. 英国人给的条件,只要度过了眼前的冲击,俄罗斯帝国就有可能一飞冲天,取奥地利而代之,成为新的欧陆霸主。 However, income big, risk high. If by some chance operates the failure, or was the English midway violation, Russian Empire cannot do well must be finished. 然而,收益有多大,风险就有多高。万一操作失败,或者是英国人中途违约,俄罗斯帝国搞不好就要完蛋了。 Even if not think that the English will break a contract in this issue, but political contraption who can say? 即便是不认为英国人会在这个问题上违约,但政治这玩意儿谁能够说得准呢？ The London government is also several years one, if the luck were not good to bump into an iron to be gruff, blind several made do, Russian Empire was miserable. 伦敦政府也是几年一届,万一运气不好碰到了一个铁憨憨,瞎几把乱搞一通,俄罗斯帝国就惨了。 In this matter history also has to happen, Russian Empire once was a victim. Without the god operation of Peter III, Russian Empire has become European hegemon, absolutely would have no so many troubles. 这种事情历史上又不是没有发生过,俄罗斯帝国本身就曾是受害者。如果没有彼得三世的神操作,俄罗斯帝国早就成欧陆霸主了,根本就没有这么多麻烦。 Naturally, this to Alexander III, there are these troublesome good. After all, Peter III does not make do, the Tsar position is not one's turn their. 当然,这对亚历山大三世来说,还是有这些麻烦的好。毕竟,彼得三世不乱搞,沙皇的位置也轮不到他们这一支。 In comparison, the condition that the Austria advantage gives is much safer, the income naturally is also much smaller. European hegemon is not possible, South Asian hegemon can also expect. 相比之下,奥地利给出的条件就要安全得多,收益自然也要小得多。欧陆霸主是不可能的,南亚霸主还可以期待一下。 Looks at out of the window, Alexander III asked: „How much money the Central Asia railroad wants, appraised?” 望了望窗外,亚历山大三世问道:“中亚铁路要多少钱,评估出来了没有？” First Lord of the Treasury Alisher Gurov: „ Central Asia railroad main line 3864 km in length, the attached line Chief Head exceeds 15600 kilometers in addition. 财政大臣阿利舍尔・古洛夫:“中亚铁路主干线全长3864公里,加上附属线路总长超过15600公里。 Not only need endure the test of bad weather, the midway must pass through many bad-lands, it is expected that the time 12 years, the preliminary estimate must spend 1.276 billion gold rubles. ” 不仅要经受恶劣气候的考验,中途还要经过多处恶劣地形,预计工期12年,初步估计要花费12.76亿金卢布。” The railroad is the pain in Russian Empire. Do not say the European developed country ratio, next door British India railroad compared with them. 铁路一直都是俄罗斯帝国的痛。不要说欧洲发达国家比,就连隔壁英属印度的铁路都比他们强。 It is not the Tsar government diligently, is really not the strength does not permit! Russian Empire is not only vast in territory, what is more fearful is the climate is bad. 并非是沙皇政府不努力,实在是实力不允许啊！俄罗斯帝国不仅幅员辽阔,更可怕的是气候恶劣。 Other national construction railroad, after the exploration is completed, did the design paper, started to do on the line directly. 别的国家建设铁路,勘探完成后,搞出了设计图纸,直接开始干就行了。 Russian Empire is not good, their railroads must be able to guarantee the normal operation in the world of ice and snow. Occasionally a big temperature decrease, will have 40-50 degrees below zero extreme weather. 俄罗斯帝国不行,他们的铁路必须要能够保证在冰天雪地里正常运转。偶尔一个大降温,甚至会出现零下40-50度的极端天气。 One cent one point of goods, the railroad request of Russian Empire is high, construction cost naturally also high. 一分钱一分货,俄罗斯帝国的铁路要求高,建设成本自然也高。 The railroad completes is also only a start, greatly is more troublesome lies in the later period operates. The bad natural climate, increased the late operation maintenance cost directly, simply is a bottomless pit. 铁路建成还只是一个开始,更大麻烦还是在于后期运营上。恶劣的自然气候,直接增加了后期运营维护成本,简直就是一个无底洞。 The overseas cultivate/repair the capital to come in swarms, does not need to worry about the funds ; But Russian Empire builds a railroad, actually only then the government takes out money. 国外修资本都是蜂拥而至,根本不用操心经费;而俄罗斯帝国修铁路,却只有政府掏钱。 Without the means that who makes the railroad in Russian Empire lose money all the year round! The business of doing business at a loss no one does, the capital is not willing to invest, the railroad construction nature was slow. 没办法,谁让俄罗斯帝国的铁路长年赔钱呢！赔本的买卖没人做,资本不肯投入,铁路建设自然缓慢了。 If not the agitation that Austria benefits, in addition had France to pay compensation to expect, the Tsar government saying that anything will not start the Central Asia railroad at this time. 如果不是奥地利的鼓动,加上有法国赔款可以期待一下,沙皇政府说什么也不会在这个时候启动中亚铁路。 „Can shorten the time?” “能够缩短工期么？” Has not requested to reduce the construction cost, that is Alexander III knows, the domestic bureaucrat is what goods. If really reduced the construction cost, no one can guarantee the railroad that cultivates can be open to traffic smoothly. 没有要求压缩建设成本,那是亚历山大三世知道,国内的官僚是什么货色。真要是压缩了建设成本,谁也不能保证修出来的铁路能够顺利通车。 Similar matter, has to happen. In the beforehand railroad construction, has the fool to save the funds, reduced the gauge and railroad tie length arbitrarily. 类似的事情,也不是没有发生过。在之前的铁路建设中,就有傻逼为了节省经费,擅自压缩了轨距和枕木长度。 If must carefully study the railroad that is open to traffic smoothly, has a common feature- budget overspending. 如果要仔细研究顺利通车的铁路,都有一个共同的特点-预算超支。 Simple, is reports in advance a low price to initiate a project. Waited for the project to be halfway not to have money, compelling the government to increase the investment. 简单的来说,就是先报一个低价立项。等工程进行到了一半就没钱了,逼着政府增加投入。 „ If contracts to the Austria Libyan Railway Company construction, the total time can compress for four points one, the main line can extend the Afghan border in eight years. “如果承包给奥地利铁路公司施工的话,总工期能够压缩四分一,主干线能够在八年内延伸到阿富汗边界。 However their offers are very high, in we provide in the situation of labor, takes 1.886 billion gold rubles ; If constructed by them completely, the budget is to reach as high as 3 billion gold rubles. ” 不过他们的报价很高,在我们提供劳工的情况下,都要18.86亿金卢布;如果完全由他们施工,预算更是高达30亿金卢布。” Such price difference, Alisher Gurov is also very helpless. The domestic railway company budgets truly lowly, what a pity cannot finish each time smoothly. Not only the time is unable to safeguard, but also wants the supplementary budget. 这样的差价,阿利舍尔・古洛夫也很无奈。国内的铁路公司预算确实低,可惜每次都不能顺利完工。不仅工期无法保障,还要追加预算。 The railway company that Austria benefits asks a price truly high, but others time has the safeguard and quality to be credible, and is an offer, even if behind has the increase, the increased budget will not be many. The final cost, is instead lower. 奥地利的铁路公司要价确实高,可人家工期有保障、质量靠谱,并且都是一次报价,后面就算是有增量,增加的预算也不会太多。最终的成本,反而更低一些。 If so, the Tsar government should introduce Austria Libyan Railway Company to reduce the construction cost to be right. The fact is just the opposite, almost does not have Austria Libyan Railway Company to continue the project in the Tsar government hand. 如果是这样的话,沙皇政府应该引入奥地利铁路公司降低建设成本才对。事实恰恰相反,几乎没有奥地利铁路公司在沙皇政府手中承接项目。 It is not the Tsar government is not willing to award, but absolutely does not have Austria Libyan Railway Company to be willing to order. The reason unusual reality, the Tsar government is poor, the payment has not safeguarded. 不是沙皇政府不愿意发包,而是根本就没有奥地利铁路公司肯接单。原因非常的现实,沙皇政府穷,付款没有保障。 The present constructs a railroad of Tsar government investment, becomes Austria to discuss the chip of condition, and has the chip of attraction. 以至于现在承建一条沙皇政府出资的铁路,都成为了奥地利谈条件的筹码,并且还是非常有诱惑力的筹码。 So long as cultivated/repaired the Afghan area the railroad, the front door from Russian Empire to India, was opened. 只要将铁路修到了阿富汗地区,俄罗斯帝国通往印度的大门,就被打开了。 Such important project, the Tsar government naturally does not dare to be careless. If by some chance trusts the wrong person, the investment must throw away carelessly. 这样重要的工程,沙皇政府自然是不敢马虎。万一所托非人,投入就要打水漂了。 Gives the biggest advantage that Austria Libyan Railway Company constructs is the security. Everyone knows that the Vienna government thinks Russian Empire goes south dead to knock with the English, will definitely safeguard the quality of this railroad. 交给奥地利铁路公司建设的最大好处就是安全。谁都知道维也纳政府想俄罗斯帝国南下和英国人死磕,肯定会保障这条铁路的质量。 Even if the midway budget has problems, does not need to be worried to shut down, Austria altruistic with dauntless internationalist spirit, fronts the capital to do the project for them. 就算是中途预算出了问题,都不用担心停工,奥地利人会以大无畏的国际主义精神,替他们垫资把项目搞完。
