Restart Spain Sun Never Sets

In the crisis of the Near East, Spain, because it has no interests, adheres to the principle of maintaining neutrality, which is not the case for other countries.

The local Slavs uprising in the Ottomans has already made the Russians feel ready to move, and they expressed their support for the rebel army at the first time.

After learning from the experience of the Crimean War, the Russians began their diplomatic operations. As one of the three most influential countries in the Near East, the attitude of the Austro-Hungarian Empire was related to their success rate.

To this end, Tsar Alexander II ordered Prime Minister Alexander Mikhailovich Gorchakov to officially begin his visit to the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

The Prime Minister's policy was to coordinate Europe and reject Pan-Slavism, but the Tsar's orders could not be disobeyed, so he had to come to Vienna in person to carry out the negotiations.

As the only diplomatic expert who could rival Bismarck, his name was as loathed by the British as Bismarck.

The Austro-Hungarian Empire has even reached the pinnacle of political diplomacy. Although Metternich has declined after his death, Count Andrássy Gula is also a ruthless man who dominates the Three Emperors Alliance.

Count Andrashi, Ottoman's recent situation is not very good. I want the Austro-Hungarian Empire as an ally to give us corresponding support.

Gorchakov took the lead in speaking and made it clear that although he did not care about Pan-Slavism, winning the Austro-Hungarian Empire was a necessary task.

Duke Gorchakov, I think it would be best for the Russian Empire to stop interfering in the Balkans, which would make Austria-Hungary feel threatened.

Andrashi turned a blind eye to Gorchakov's words. Although the two countries agreed on the threat of the Germans, the Balkan issue was the bottom line for Austria-Hungary.

The atrocities of the Ottoman Empire are being inflicted on the Slavs. This is intolerable to the people of our country. I believe that the Austro-Hungarian Empire hates the Ottomans to the extreme.

It is an indisputable fact that Austria-Hungary hated the Ottomans, but feared the Russians more than the Ottomans.

As for humanitarianism, it is a joke in this era. Russia treats its own army as cannon fodder. How could it possibly do humanitarianism because of some Bulgarian Serbs?

We are saddened by the situation of the Slavs, but equally, we need to provide a safe environment for the Germans and Hungarians in the country. The possible invasion of your country in the Balkans will make us feel that our sovereignty has been violated.

If the Balkans are really under the control of the Russians, the northeast and south three sides of the Austro-Hungarian Empire will be surrounded by the Russians, which will cause great pressure on the Austro-Hungarian army.

Your Excellency, Russia has no intention of challenging the sovereignty of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. We can promise to return the sovereignty to the local Slavs after the liberation of the Slavs.

The implication is that Russia will not directly control the liberated countries of the Balkans, and in fact Serbia and Romania are far more close to the Russians than Austria-Hungary.

Your country's empty check is not what we want. Andrashi smiled disdainfully. They were old friends. He thought he knew Gorchakov fairly well.

Our country can promise to abandon the policy of creating a Great Slavic state in exchange for the support of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

Gorchakov seriously said that the Russians' policy was to use Pan-Slavism to build a Great Slavic state centered on Constantinople and sheltered by the Russians.

And if it is carried out according to the plan of the Russians, the Balkans will be unified into a Slavic state, and for the Austro-Hungarian Empire, this means that a great power will appear in the southeast where it could have been expanded.

After the establishment of the German Empire, the Austro-Hungarian Empire had basically lost all hope of expanding to the north, and the weak Balkan countries were the best expansion target for the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

But our country would rather see a weak Ottoman in control of the Balkans,

This means that there will be no threat to our country's rear.

Andrássy bluntly expressed the hopes of Austria-Hungary. The Russian proposals were all based on their own conditions, and the Austro-Hungarian Empire would not gain any benefits.

And the authority given to Gorchakov by the tsarist government was only this, and the talks between the two sides broke up unhappily.

The news of Russia's visit to Austria-Hungary was passed on to Europe, and the negotiations between the two sides reached a deadlock. When the Austro-Hungarian media exposed the news, European countries began to report it one after another.

As the direct parties, the top officials of the Ottoman Empire were naturally relieved, but the sense of crisis prompted them to step up their contact with Britain and France, just in case.

And Gorchakov naturally reacted to this situation to St. Petersburg. He couldn't come up with practical benefits, and it was really difficult to let the Austro-Hungarian Empire go.

The negotiation between Russia and Austria is deadlocked, which means that the needs of the two sides cannot be reached, and Germany, one of the Three Emperors Alliance, cannot stay out of it.

The Germans have no interest in the Balkans and we shouldn't be involved in this crisis, but the Austro-Hungarian-Russian debate is giving us a headache.

But if there is a conflict between Russia and Austria in the Near East, the German Empire will have to make a choice between St. Petersburg and Vienna. We hope that both sides can sit down and start negotiations.

If the interests of the two sides cannot be reached, Germany is willing to be the mediator and support Russia and Austria in all coordinated actions in the Near East.

German Prime Minister Bismarck made a public speech, all of which implied that the Russians, if a conflict did break out, Germany would stand on the weaker side of Austria-Hungary.

But there is no real accusation against the Russians. If the attitude is too fierce and the Russians are pushed to the French, Germany will fall into the embarrassment of being attacked by the enemy. Therefore, Germany's purpose can only be to make the two sides reach an agreement on the Balkan issue.

As allies, the two countries naturally accepted the role of the German mediator. Although neither side was willing to make concessions, they did not want a real conflict to break out. Although the Austria-Hungary Empire was weakened, it was still enough for Russia to drink.

The two sides planned to hold talks again, with Germany as the mediator, preparing to hold a second negotiation in Vienna.

The Russian diplomacy quickly unfolded, as did the Ottomans.

The British, who have traditional interests in the Mediterranean, have always maintained their territorial integrity to the Ottoman Empire and firmly controlled the Russians in the Black Sea to ensure their interests in the Mediterranean.

The British Disraeli government has publicly condemned the Russians. The Russians’ attempts are obvious. Although they have not received the support of the foreign powers and have made no major moves, once the negotiations have made substantial progress, the Ottoman Empire will be instantly in danger.

The silence of the French left the British at a loss. The British at sea were indeed invincible, but the lack of a French thug on land did make the Disraeli government feel a little helpless.

And Spain, which declared its abiding by neutrality, suddenly received news of the visit of the British, and the purpose was self-evident.

It's impossible to be a thug, but try to talk about cooperation, Alfonso thought.
