The spring breeze is blowing, and everything is beginning to recover. Under the sun's rays, the withered Tsubaki tree spits out fragrant red buds again, as if telling the cycle of history.

The pre-parade drill began, and looking at the troops gathered from all over the world, Schlieffen was not happy at all.

Regardless of whether it is an officer corps or an ordinary soldier, there is no essential difference between walking in the phalanx queue.

The Prussian army was certainly elite, but the ranks participating in the parade were not straw bales. It's simply impossible to stand out on someone else's shoulder.

"Unconventional", that's completely overthinking. All the parades are set up in advance, and the troops participating in the parade only need to be executed according to the plan.

"Military orders are like mountains" is not a joke, and it is necessary to play new tricks on its own initiative, and no matter what the result is, a military tribunal must be held.

Schlieffen wanted to attract the emperor's attention, but he was not prepared to do so by dying. If you really mess up the National Day parade, not only will you be finished, but the number of the unit will be canceled.

Despite their glorious past, the Prussian army was an insignificant part of the current defense system of the Holy Roman Empire.

There are not many of them, and there are not many of them. The Holy Roman Empire, with a population of 130 million, has established absolute superiority on the European continent.

If there is just no way to attract the emperor's attention, then that's it. After all, the odds of this kind of thing are already low, and they have a backup plan.

What made Schlieffen even more sad was that they were the most shabby of the many armies that arrived in Vienna. If that's what gets attention, then they've really succeeded.

While the armies of the other states came in armoured vehicles and looked very imposing, the Prussian army came on horseback.

Although the cavalry has not yet withdrawn from the stage of history, the torrent of steel has become the main line of future development. In particular, all countries that had personally experienced the war against France were determined to develop armored tanks.

It's human instinct to chase hot spots. Whether it is a big country or a small state, as long as they keep the army, they have made a bunch of new toys for themselves to prop up the façade.

If it weren't forbade by the traffic management department, it is estimated that there would still be people driving planes and tanks.

Anyway, the number of people participating in the parade in each state is not large, ranging from a few to a hundred, and the means of transportation are the same.

In this case, of course, how did the scenery come about? After all, everyone wants to save face, and in front of the people of the whole country, there is no shame.

You must know that the film has been born, and as the first military parade of the Holy Roman Empire, it is definitely necessary to preserve the video materials. Once recorded, it's an eternal stain.

As it turned out, it was all overthinking.

Aircraft artillery, tank armor, the Central Army is responsible for the performance. The armies of the states participating in the parade were all in infantry phalanxes.

This result can only make Schlieffen a little gratified, but more bitter. Watching being surpassed one by one by the neighbors who were not as good as themselves in the past, which feeling is definitely not wonderful.

……

The military parade of the Holy Roman Empire not only touched the hearts of the people at home, but also attracted the attention of the world.

As the newly rising hegemon, the Vienna government's every move is subject to "political interpretation" by the outside world. Even if there is no purpose, it will be interpreted as a purpose.

Of course, the Spanish Foreign Minister Júnior, who had just arrived in Vienna and wanted diplomatic support and policy loans, was most concerned.

……

In Vienna's embassy district, there is a row of buildings with distinct layers, high and low, full of sunlight and vitality.

Almost everyone who arrives here stops to admire this artistic Spanish-style building.

Perhaps this is the last stubbornness of the old-school empire. Despite Spain's decline, its diplomatic investment has never been shabby, at least at the embassy in Vienna.

"Count Brad, you have been in Vienna for twenty years, and if there is anyone in Spain who knows the Holy Roman Empire best, it is absolutely you.

The Vienna government was holding a military parade at this time, do you think they were really just for the purpose of demonstrating to the British? ”

Júnior couldn't think about it too much, don't look at the Vienna government rarely does things, but once it does, it's all groundbreaking.

As far as the "military parade" incident itself is concerned, it is not too big to say that it is small, and it is not small to say that it is not small. If it had been left before, Júnior would not have paid so much attention.

Now it's different, it's been more than three years since the end of the European War, and the economic crisis is just around the corner. The Holy Roman Empire, which had initially completed the integration of the German states, had come out of a period of weakness.

A two-headed eagle that has a well-groomed body always has to go out to hunt. No matter how much it changes, the eagle is still an eagle, and it is impossible to change to a vegetarian diet.

Looking at the world today, the only one with the strength to compete with the Holy Roman Empire is Britain, and the Russians are half at most.

On the face of it, Anglo-Austrian relations have indeed been somewhat tense in recent years, and there is nothing wrong with the Vienna government parade to demonstrate against the British.

It's just that Júnior doesn't think it's that simple. After all, the advantage of the Holy Roman Empire was on land, and the advantage of the British was at sea.

No matter how powerful the HRE Army is, the British, who have the protection of the strait, will not feel the real pressure.

Unless the location of the parade is changed to the sea, and dozens of battleships are gathered for a performance, it is estimated that it will be able to give the British a headache for a few days.

Minister Brad smiled slightly, put down the coffee in his hand, and replied: "The purpose of the Vienna government is naturally not just to demonstrate to the British.

If you want to make the British unhappy, it is better to directly increase the naval budget and build a few more warships.

Your Excellency, do not forget that in addition to the British, there is also a polar bear on the European continent. Although the bear is now hibernating, no one can ignore their presence.

Especially since they have just changed the tsar, and the new successor to the throne, Tsar Nicholas II, has recently begun to toss in the country.

Based on past experience, I personally judge that the National Day parade of the HRE is that Franz the Great is beating the Russians again.

It's almost an endless cycle, with each aspiring tsar succeeding to the throne, Russian-Austrian relations will be tense for a while, and after hitting a wall, relations between the two countries will soon return to normal.

Of course, the intention to demonstrate to the countries of the world is not excluded. After all, they are now hegemons again, and they have to do something. ”

In recent decades, when it comes to the "Russian-Austrian alliance", there is no European politician who does not have a headache. It can be said that this alliance directly determines the direction of the situation in Europe.

However, the internal relations of this seemingly unbreakable alliance are far less harmonious than the outside world seems.

Around the struggle for the dominance of the alliance, the secret struggle between Russia and Austria has not stopped. It was only in recent years, when Austria had gradually gained the lead in the alliance by virtue of its economic superiority, that the struggle gradually eased.

However, how could the tsarist government be willing to be a little brother? Beginning with Alexander II, almost every tsar made an effort to free himself from Austrian influence.

Unfortunately, the tsarist government was simply too poor. Every time their economy was just picking up, new wars ensued.

The end result was that after each war, the Russian Empire's dependence on Austria increased by a single point.

From the first economy, then the military, then the industrial system, and now to the culture and the arts, the connection between the two countries is too close.

The economic crisis that broke out not long ago is an example, when the Holy Roman Empire had economic problems, and the Russian Empire was dragged directly into the water without even having room to struggle.

Whether they want to admit it or not, the interests of the ruling class of the tsarist government were tied to Austria.

If they are unlucky, Austria may only be in the throes for a short time; But if something goes wrong in Austria, their purse strings will be ruined.

If this were not the case, the tsarist government would not have been easily fooled into joining the war against France, let alone sitting back and watching the Holy Roman Empire be restored.

At this point in development, it is no longer possible for someone to oppose it if he says he is against it. Any act that undermines relations between the two countries is a cheese of the bureaucracy and aristocrats.

If it really turns its face, the Vienna government will let African agricultural products enter the market and open restrictions on the development of mineral resources, and the agriculture and mining industries of the Russian Empire will soon be finished.

Not only the bureaucracy and aristocracy did not agree, but also the compradors and national capitalists below. At the same time, the lifeblood of Russian industry and commerce was inevitably handed over to Russia.

All vested interests are against it, it's just that the tsar wants to change, and the final outcome is known without thinking.

This conclusion was not conjectured by Minister Bullard out of thin air, but was obtained by Britain and France after decades of experience.

In order to break up the Russian-Austrian alliance, the French worked hard for more than 30 years, the British worked hard for 40 years, and countless experts and scholars in international relations studied painstakingly before finally coming to this conclusion.

The easiest and only way to undermine relations between the two countries is for the tsarist government to have a political earthquake and purge all the vested interests out of the country.

Moreover, the new ruling class must be combative. Not only must they be able to resist the enemy's sugar-coated shells, but they must also be prepared to endure hardships and stand hard work for a long time and be ready to suppress the bankrupt workers' and peasants' rebellion at any time.

"Yes!"

As long as it is not aimed at Spain, Júnior has no intention of mixing the bad things between Russia and Austria.

"As long as it doesn't involve us, then it's good to see the excitement. By the way, how did you talk to the bankers in Vienna about borrowing? ”

Júnior has not forgotten the purpose of his visit to Vienna, as long as he can borrow money, everything else is a trivial matter.

At the mention of borrowing, the smile on Minister Brad's face suddenly disappeared. After a moment of silence, he slowly said, "Your Excellency, you know. Those vampires are all masters who eat people and don't spit out bones.

Not only are the interest rates on the loans high, but they also require collateral, and it is not collateral in the ordinary sense.

They wanted us to use the rights to the Tower as collateral. ”

Minister Brad was also helpless, because with the financial situation of the Spanish government, it was impossible for ordinary commercial banks to lend. If you want to get a loan, you can only go to those unusual speculative banks or financial small loan companies.

Interests are the easiest to get lost, watching overseas bankers turn their hands deep into politics one by one, and some people even directly control the currency issuance power of a country, and there are also people in the HRE financial community who can't sit still.

There were even people who paid attention to the issuance rights of Aegis, but these guys were unlucky, ran into a strong government, and soon met God.

Large meat is not edible, and slightly smaller meat is equally tempting. Spain sent it to the door at this time, and the financial speculators couldn't help it.

After being silent for a long time, Júnior said slowly: "With such a big appetite, aren't they afraid of being choked to death?"

Who gave them the confidence to eat us, is it ......?"

Before Júnior could finish speaking, Minister Brad interrupted: "Not the Viennese government, I am sure of that.

The right to issue money in the Italian states was not touched when it was sent to the door; In the recent economic crisis, they did not take advantage of the fire to rob.

Aegis is already the world's currency, and the Match Tower is also linked to the Aegis, so our currency issuance rights are not important to them.

As for the origin of this vampire, in fact, we are all familiar with it. You won't find anyone in the world who is so greedy except those damn Jews......"

Hold up the bold, starve the faint-hearted. In this regard, Jewish capital is the most prominent.

Despite the heavy losses in the previous anti-corruption campaign, after a period of recovery, Jewish capital has reappeared in the financial world.

It's just that this time the identity is no longer a mainstream banker, but some financial small loan companies that are out of the way, or speculative banks.

There is no way, except to make quick money outside the door, the ordinary business model is simply impossible to make a comeback so quickly.

Unlike the previous unscrupulousness, after experiencing social beatings, Jewish financiers still relented a lot.

After realizing that the Shinra is not suitable for their development, these people are also thinking about the three holes of the cunning rabbit. It was at this time that Spain came to the door, and there was a story behind it.

After calming down, Júnior quickly realized that something was wrong. The idea of daring to fight the distribution rights of the competition tower without anyone backing it is no longer an ordinary boldness.

"No, there's definitely something wrong behind it. The power of Jewish capital in Austria was not strong, and with their strength alone it would have been impossible to mobilize so much cash in a short time.

What's more, our situation is not good, other commercial banks dare not lend loans, why do they dare to borrow?

It is important to find out who is supporting it. Otherwise, I'd rather make a deal with the Vienna government than deal with them vampires. ”

Although it is not known who is calculating, one thing is clear to Júnior, and that is that Jewish capital is incapable of confronting a state.

Even if the contract was signed, if the Spanish government broke it, they would not be able to do anything about it.
