St. Petersburg, looks in the hand the combat report, on the Alexander II face the happy expression is vanishing into thin air, was only left over the worried. 圣彼得堡,看着手中战报,亚历山大二世脸上喜色不翼而飞,只剩下了浓浓的忧愁。 The Russian force obtained win in the frontline, has pressed the enemy not to gasp for breath strategically, is getting more and more near from the victory. 俄军在前线取得了大胜,战略上已经压得敌人喘不过气来,距离战争胜利越来越近。 However in the back of these victories, is the Russian force soldiers builds with the boundless white bones. Looks casualty figure that increases unceasingly, Alexander II acknowledged oneself feared. 然而在这些胜利的背后,都是俄军士兵用茫茫白骨堆砌出来的。看着不断增加的伤亡数字,亚历山大二世承认自己怕了。 In this world not, only then the very soon two countries, the enemies in Russian Empire are many, to win this war compensated the complete net worth, what to do should behind? 这个世界上可不只有普俄两个国家,俄罗斯帝国的敌人很多,为了赢得这场战争赔上了全部身家,后面该怎么办？ ...... …… Foreign minister Gerado Yésero special: „Your majesty, Austrian minister in St. Petersburg sends in the note diplomatique to us this morning, the Vienna government proposed that the international conference, mediated this war.” 外交大臣赫拉多・耶塞罗特:“陛下,今天上午奥地利驻圣彼得堡公使向我们发来外交照会,维也纳政府倡议召开国际会议,调停这次战争。” Alexander II nods: „Finally came.” 亚历山大二世点了点头:“终于还是来了。” As if relaxes, is mixing with several points of anxiety. 仿佛是松了一口气,又夹杂着几分不安。 After stopping the moment time, Alexander II asked: „What condition did Austrian give?” 停顿了片刻功夫后,亚历山大二世问道:“奥地利人给出了什么条件？” Foreign minister Gerado Yésero shakes the head especially: „ Is only an ordinary note diplomatique, the Austrian has not indicated the standpoint. 外交大臣赫拉多・耶塞罗特摇了摇头:“只是一份普通的外交照会,奥地利人没有表明立场。 From the present situation, the Vienna government easily will perhaps not take a stand. ” 从现在的局势来看,维也纳政府恐怕不会轻易表态。” This is the fact, the Vienna government is very really difficult to choose. Side is the benefit, side is the public opinion, how regardless to choose is wrong. 这是事实,维也纳政府现在真的很难抉择。一边是利益,一边是民意,无论怎么选择都是错。 Since is unable to choose, that first does not indicate the standpoint, waits for after the further development of situation, then indicates the standpoint. 既然无法选择,那就先不表明立场,等待局势的进一步发展过后,再表明立场。 By the present at this time, Austria does not need by standing in line to live, morning a point and 1 : 00 pm must have oneself that income. 到了现在这个时候,奥地利也不需要靠站队过日子,早一点、晚 1 点都少不了自家那一份收益。 After hesitant moment time, Alexander II made decided: „ Answered to Austria, we agree to accept the mediation. 犹豫了片刻功夫后,亚历山大二世做出了决定:“给奥地利回话,我们同意接受调停。 Ministry of Foreign Affairs prepares negotiations, then the tough battle must hit. The blood of officers cannot flow in vain, cannot make in the battlefield attain the thing absolutely, gives to spit on the conference table. ” 外交部做好谈判准备,接下来有一场硬仗要打。将士们的血不能白流,绝对不能让战场上拿到东西,在谈判桌上给吐出去。” Gambling on diplomacy, although does not see the gunsmoke, the intensity is not inferior in the battlefield. 外交上的博弈,虽然不见硝烟,激烈程度却丝毫不逊色于战场。 After UK , France and Austria establish the new international system, the result of European war, is not only in the battlefield can decide. 英法奥三国建立新的国际体系后,欧陆战争的胜负,已经不仅仅是战场上能够决定的了。 In the military won, is only a start ; Final benefit ownership, must determine on the conference table. 军事上赢了,只是一个开始;最终的利益归属,还是要在谈判桌上确定。 Naturally Russia is also a great nation, the right to speak has, will not allow to be oppressed. In the battlefield won, on the conference table got the absolute winning side, the difference only lay in the income size. 当然俄罗斯也是一个大国,话语权还是有的,不会任人宰割。战场上获得了胜利,谈判桌上就占据了绝对上风,区别只在于收益大小。 ...... …… The czar government agreed that the Berlin government does not have the truth not to agree. Now what cannot support is they, even the radical factions in army still know game is as good as lost, did not negotiate does not have the qualification to negotiate. 沙皇政府同意了,柏林政府没有道理不同意。现在撑不住的是他们,即便是军队中的激进派也知道大势已去,再不谈判就没有本钱谈判了。 Not only the war conducts now, 400,000 people that only the Kingdom of Prussia died in battle, if dies of illness, severe wound to be incurable in addition, this number may increase 200,000-300,000. 战争进行到现在,仅普鲁士王国战死的就不只四十万人,如果加上病死、重伤不治的,这个数字可能还要增加200,000-300,000。 Only died has 600,000-700,000, disabled naturally must have, the permanent personnel losses 1 million are not over exaggerating. 光死掉的就有600,000-700,000,伤残的自然也少不了,永久性减员过百万一点儿也不夸张。 This, only then Prussia of 10 million population, each family have worn mourning clothes, everyone to weep bitterly. Is too deep except for the individual poisons, most people's dream has awaked. 这对只有一千万人口的普鲁士来说,已经家家戴孝、人人痛哭。除了个别中毒太深的,大部分人的梦都已经醒了。 The headman mouth structure youth oriented, the young proportion is luckily high this year, if catches up with the ageing society, casualties such early in the morning collapsed. 幸好这年头人口结构年轻化,青壮比例较高,要是赶上老龄化社会,伤亡这么大早就崩溃了。 general army headquarters, the news of negotiations comes, hair strange as if overnight old ten years old, this war attacked to him is really big. 普军指挥部,谈判的消息传来,毛奇仿佛一夜之间苍老了十岁,这次战争对他打击实在是太大了。 The disparity of strength, cannot make up by the individual effort. Wins a battle, finally to be actually defeated to end the war in the victory. 实力的差距,不是靠个人力量能够弥补的。一路打胜仗,最后却在胜利中以失败结束战争。 Lost this war, hair strange the star halo has not dropped, instead even more resounding, has saying that this is a satire. 输掉了这场战争,毛奇的名将光环并没有跌落,反而越发的响亮了起来,不得不说这是一个讽刺。 Suppresses the sorrow of innermost feelings, hair strange is continue carry out own responsibility: „Order army strengthens the alert, takes strict precautions against the Russian to sneak attack.” 强忍着内心的悲痛,毛奇继续履行自己的职责:“命令部队加强戒备,严防俄国人偷袭。” Was different from the past disaster, the failure of this war, the accusation of home to his commander-in-chief was not big. 不同于以往的战争失败,这次战争的失败,国内对他这个总指挥官的指责声并不大。 Perhaps is everyone disappointed excessive, has not gotten strength back. No one shouts is trading, no one to him shouted that hits to shout "kill". 或许是大家受打击过重,还没有缓过劲来。没有人嚷嚷着换将,也没有人对他喊打喊杀。 „Yes, Marshal.” “是,元帅。” „Yes, Marshal.” “是,元帅。” ...... …… 3322 reply sounds, making the hair wonderful complexion even more ugly: „ Has not eaten meal, worn out, you have a look at yourselves, now also looks like a soldier? 三三两两的回答声,让毛奇的脸色愈发难看:“都没有吃饭么,一个个有气无力的,你们自己看看自己,现在还像一个军人么？ Did not lose a war, has to lose, the older generations can very come, why we could not achieve! ” 不就是输掉了一次战争么,又不是没有输过,先辈们都能够挺过来,凭什么我们就做不到了！” No one said that from the expression, most people was a face is ashamed, only then extremely individual aloof. 没有人接话,从表情上来看,大多数人都是一脸羞愧,只有极个别无动于衷。 Grief. Understood that more people, do not have the confidence to Prussia more. 哀莫大于心死。了解越多的人,对普鲁士越没有信心。 The present European pattern basically stabilized, Prussia wanted to overturn is really difficult, many people despair. 现在的欧洲格局基本上稳定了下来,普鲁士想要翻盘实在是太难了,很多人都已经绝望。 Seeing the effect is unsatisfactory, hair strange helpless sighing. Several words could scold a blurry person awake, the person but who to sobered, did not have to affect greatly. 见效果不佳,毛奇无奈的叹了一口气。几句话或许能够将一个迷糊的人骂醒,但是对本来就清醒的人,就没有那么大作用了。 „ Ok, I, no matter you are thinking anything. So long as wore this military uniform, must carry out own responsibility. “好了,我不管你们心里在想什么。只要穿上了这身军装,就必须要履行自己的职责。 By the present at this time, my non- extravagant demands you can be brave, can turn defeat into victory in the battlefield. 到了现在这个时候,我不奢求你们能够骁勇善战,能够在战场上反败为胜。 So long as completes own labor of duty, does not give the enemy the opportunity is not missed, preserves the Prussia final qualification, is to giving birth to your countries, best return. ” 只要做好自己的本职工作,不给敌人可趁之机,保住普鲁士最后的本钱,就是对生养你们的国家,最好的回报。” ...... …… London, general E accepts Austrian mediation the news to transmit, the British government imitates, if fell into the ominous reactionary forces in the ascendant. 伦敦,普俄接受奥地利调停的消息传来,英国政府就仿若陷入了黑云压城中。 Prime Minister Benjamin: „Austrian must hold the Vienna peace conference, general E accepted the invitation, the hegemony in Britain is provoked, we must take action.” 本杰明首相:“奥地利人要召开维也纳和会,普俄都接受了邀请,不列颠的霸权正在受到挑衅,我们必须要采取行动。” Although is UK , France and Austria exists side by side, but everyone's default eldest child or Britain. This Vienna peace conference, broke away from this convention obviously. 虽然是英法奥三国并立,但是大家默认的老大还是不列颠。这次维也纳和会,显然打破了这种惯例。 The London government cannot mediate very soon war, instead made the Austrian completing, this means that Britain was backward in the influence of continental Europe. 伦敦政府没有能够调停普俄战争,反而让奥地利人给办成了,这意味着英国在欧洲大陆的影响力落后了。 If other area is indifferent, world supremacy in Great Britain, cannot go down to each region, discards the region hegemonies in 1-2 places also to might as well. 如果是别的地区无所谓,大英帝国的世界霸权,也没有能够深入每一个区域,丢掉1-2地方的区域霸权也无妨。 But Europe is not good, nowadays the center of the world in Europe. Between the European hegemonies and world supremacy, only have separation. 可是欧洲不行,这年头世界的中心就在欧洲。欧陆霸权和世界霸权之间,仅有一线之隔。 From the economy, is from the military, continental Europe exceeded the sum totals of other entire world areas. Attained the European hegemony, the world supremacy in fact also almost decided. 无论是从经济,还是从军事上来看,欧洲大陆都超过了全世界其它地区的总和。拿到了欧陆霸权,世界霸权实际上也差不多定了。 The British government is unable to tolerate this matter to happen, although Austria holds the Vienna peace conference is not equal to attaining the European hegemony, but this was broke Britain in the recessive hegemonic position of continental Europe. 英国政府无法容忍这种事情发生,尽管奥地利召开维也纳和会不等于拿到欧陆霸权,但这还是打破了不列颠在欧洲大陆的隐性霸主地位。 The destruction is easier than the construction forever, Britain is founded through over a hundred years of effort in the position of Europe, now was under the impact, wants to get back is almost is impossible. 破坏永远比建设容易,不列颠在欧洲的地位是通过上百年时间的努力才建立的,现在受到了冲击,想要恢复过来几乎是不可能了。 As the dominant world, the English took away too many benefits. Greedy their interest, not only Austria, but shocks in the English prestige, everyone does not dare to begin. 作为世界霸主,英国人拿走了太多的利益。眼馋他们利益的不只是奥地利,只不过震慑于英国人威名,大家都不敢动手。 Austria begins, if the London government did not respond promptly, eliminates the delusions of other countries, then they must fall into the probe and provocation that emerges one after another incessantly, true constant disorder and unrest. 奥地利开了头,伦敦政府如果不及时反应,打消其他国家的妄想,接下来他们就要陷入层出不穷的试探与挑衅中,真正的永无宁日。 Foreign minister Edward: „ Russian we cannot affect, the Berlin government really cannot insist that now, making them refuse the proposition of Austria is not impossible. 外交大臣爱德华:“俄国人我们影响不到,柏林政府现在是真的坚持不下去了,让他们拒绝奥地利的提议根本就不可能。 Starts to disintegrate the plan of Austria from the peace conference is not realistic directly, can only counter-attack from other aspects. 直接从和会入手瓦解奥地利的计划已经不现实,只能从其它方面进行反击。 Perhaps we can increase the investment, makes the northern German Empire establish as soon as possible. Cuts off the Central European empire dream of Austria, should be able to shock various European countries. ” 或许我们可以增加投入,尽快让北德意志帝国建立起来。断绝奥地利的中欧帝国梦,应该可以震慑欧洲各国了。” Before then, the London government also in planning the northern German Empire, because just dreads the response of Austria, continuously in behind-the-scenes force. Now tore to pieces the facial skin, naturally did not use politely. 在此之前,伦敦政府也在策划北德意志帝国,只不过因为忌惮奥地利的反应,一直都在幕后推手。现在撕破了脸皮,自然不用客气了。 First Lord of the Treasury Garfield opposes saying: „ Must found the northern German Empire is not easy, most German nation interests are limited, in addition the Austrian may destroy, the chance of success is too low. 财政大臣加菲尔德反对道:“要建立北德意志帝国可不容易,大部分德意志邦国都兴趣有限,再加上奥地利人可能会从中破坏,成功的几率太低。 Stands to promote directly, if succeeded fortunately, if the plan fail, to our prestige is an attack. 直接站出来推动,要是成功了还好,如果计划失败,对我们的声望又是一种打击。 The continual failure can let our ally vacillations, at present first preserves Prussia, then how considers to retaliate Austria. ” 连续的失败会让我们的盟友动摇,眼下还是先保住普鲁士,再考虑怎么报复奥地利。” Does Britain retaliate the method of Austria how? 不列颠报复奥地利的方法多么？ The answer is: Very many. 答案是:非常多。 The influence is too either small, is unable to serve the purpose ; Either has the future trouble, is not good to backlash oneself. 要么影响力太小,无法达到目的;要么存在着后患,一个不好就会反噬自身。 For example: Does the matter in the colony. 比如说:在殖民地搞事情。 They can go well is the remote places, even if succeeded, the created influence is still small, cannot cause the sound in the European world. 只是他们能够得手的都是穷乡僻壤,就算是成功了,造成的影响力也非常小,在欧洲世界根本就引不起动静。 The marine interception, hindering the shipping is also means. 海上拦截,阻碍航运也是一个办法。 It is a pity that cannot come visibly, the royal navy can pretend to be the pirate, Austrian Navy can study the type similarly, this gadget is mutually wounded. 遗憾的是不能明着来,皇家海军可以冒充海盗,奥地利海军同样可以学样,这玩意儿是两败俱伤。 Most effective way, does the matter in continental Europe. This has the challenging to the London government, since British and French relations after cold, their influence in continental Europe came under the influence. 最有效的办法,还是在欧洲大陆搞事情。这对伦敦政府非常有挑战性,自从英法关系遇冷后,他们在欧洲大陆的影响力就受到了影响。 If the French goons, Franz will not have done the matter at this time. 如果还有法国打手在,弗朗茨也不会在这个时候搞事情。 Foreign minister Edward shakes the head: „ Knight, do we have the choice? 外交大臣爱德华摇了摇头:“爵士,我们还有选择么？ Does not press to get down Austria, will then have more countries to brave. When the time comes we could not take care of oneself, where also has the energy to retaliate Austria. 不把奥地利按下去,接下来还会有更多的国家冒出来。到时候我们都自顾不暇了,哪里还有精力报复奥地利。 Founding the northern Germany is we planned beforehand, with the disastrous defeat of Kingdom of Prussia, the chance of success is high. ” 建立北德意志本来就是我们事先计划好的,随着普鲁士王国的惨败,成功的几率已经高了。” The disastrous defeat of Kingdom of Prussia, heart of various European countries' the dreading to this northern German Empire fell lowly, the opposition country might also transfer the support. 普鲁士王国的惨败,欧洲各国对这个北德意志帝国的忌惮之心降到了最低,很多原本反对的国家还有可能转为支持。 This is the benefit decision, the Berlin government borrows money everywhere also has the advantage, at least now the creditors consider international issue time, must give dual attention to own purse. 这是利益决定的,柏林政府四处借债也不是没有好处,起码现在债主们考虑国际问题的时候,要兼顾一下自己的钱袋子。 For example: France, although in this war borrows are not many, the fund that but front lets out are many, Prussia and Poland has. 比如说:法兰西,虽然这次战争中借出去的不多,可是前面放出去的款子不少,普鲁士和波兰的都有。 Poland does not have, no one has the means to make the Russian spit. These debts fell on the Berlin government, in the normal condition the Berlin government definitely was. 波兰已经没有了,谁也没办法让俄国人吐出来。这些债务都落到了柏林政府头上,正常情况下柏林政府肯定是还不起的。 Wants these debts to fulfill, but must help Prussia recover the economy, this needs to invest, the French is not definitely willing to continue to take out money. 想要这些债务能够履行,还必须要帮普鲁士恢复经济,这又需要投入,法国人肯定不愿意继续掏钱。 At this time northern the importance of German Empire manifested, as the central government definitely cannot look that the following nation crashed, even if did not repay a debt for Prussia directly, they must disburse money to rescue, helping the Kingdom of Prussia recover the economy. 这个时候北德意志帝国的重要性就体现出来了,作为中央政府肯定不能看着下面的邦国崩盘,就算不直接替普鲁士还债,他们也要出钱救助,帮普鲁士王国恢复经济。 Loose German Nation Alliance, cannot pose a threat to the interests of France, but can also hinder Austria to unify Central Europe, the possibility of Paris government support is big. 一个松散的德意志邦国联盟,根本威胁不到法兰西的利益,还能够阻碍奥地利统一中欧,巴黎政府支持的可能性非常大。 Also can be bought including Russian Empire, do not look that very soon hit rivers of blood, so long as the benefit arrived, a lot can discuss. 包括俄罗斯帝国也能够被收买,别看普俄两国打得血流成河,只要利益到位了,很多事情都是可以谈的。 The Kingdom of Prussia that the vitality damages severely, had lost after the war strength that threatens Russia, even if the German jointly formed the northern German Empire is still same. 元气大伤的普鲁士王国,战后已经丧失了威胁俄罗斯的实力,即便是和德国人联合组建了北德意志帝国也一样。 The population and territory area, decided the upper limit of this new country, how cannot catch up with the beforehand federation again. Not to mention the domestic numerous nation does things their own way, is unable to conform with the strength. 人口和领土面积,决定了这个新生国家的上限,再怎么样也赶不上之前的普波联邦。更不用说国内的众多邦国各自为政,无法将力量整合起来。 The czar government was poor, won the war with great difficulty, definitely wanted to extort a war indemnity. 沙皇政府穷得叮当响,好不容易赢得了战争,肯定想要勒索一笔战争赔款。 Make the Berlin government signing indemnity treaty easy, but wants the Kingdom of Prussia to pay this indemnity, the issue came. 让柏林政府签订赔款条约容易,可是想要普鲁士王国支付这笔赔款,问题就来了。 No one gives Prussia to continue the life, do not say that the payment war indemnity, the light/only post-war pension can crash this country. 没有人给普鲁士续命,不要说支付战争赔款,光战后的抚恤金就能够压垮这个国家。 In addition, behind this also involved Russian and Austria relations. Must say that the czar government does not dread Austria, that is impossible. 除此之外,这背后还涉及到了俄奥关系。要说沙皇政府一点儿也不忌惮奥地利,那是不可能的。 Because cannot leave Austria, both sides have not gotten angry. After the war Russia's demand to Austria will gradually reduce, relations of both sides will also change, from the ally to the competitor is only the time issue. 只不过因为离不开奥地利,双方才没有翻脸。战后俄罗斯对奥地利的需求会逐渐降低,双方的关系也会发生变化,从盟友到竞争对手只是时间问题。 In situation that in oneself do not raise one's head, can limit a Lower Austria, the czar government does not have the truth of rejection. 在自己不出头的情况下,能够限制一下奥地利,沙皇政府没有拒绝的道理。
