Iron Dynasty

Qingzhou.

Intelligence from Europe is on Xiao Ming's desk.

Austria withdrew from the European battlefield, Prussia and France truce, officially recognized Henry's rule over France.

In a few months, the changes in the situation in Europe can be said to be more changeable than the summer weather.

But for Xiao Ming, he didn't care about this change, for him Henry had already achieved his goal.

Both Prussia and Austria suffered considerable losses in the war against France, and Henry's army also suffered a lot in the war.

This war made the three land powers of Europe need to rebuild their strength to fight against the empire for a period of time.

What the Empire now needs is precisely this window period to strengthen the mechanization of the army. "Prussia recognized Henry's legal status to France. For the empire, Henry may become an enemy of the empire at any time because Henry no longer needs the help of the empire." Cui Shangan analyzed.

Xiao Ming nodded. The sudden change in Prussia made him a little surprised, but he was able to guess the purpose of Ferrie II.

With Prussian urination in history, his next target must be Austria and Hungary, which belong to the Holy Roman Empire.

In order to avoid continuing the war with Henry, he is likely to join France to carve up Austria.

"Henry once promised to recognize the Empire's occupation of East Indochina, Canada, and Tangier. If you want to test Henry, you only need to send an envoy to France for him to sign the agreement. If he chooses to shirk, it means that Henry is ready to abandon the covenant." Xiao Ming muttered. Said.

"What if Henry is really going to abandon the covenant?" Cui Shangan asked.

"I never expected Henry to admit it, so during the French Civil War, I took the opportunity to take down their colony. Whether he admits it or not, I won't spit out the meat I ate, but if he doesn't admit it, the empire can Take the opportunity to stop helping him." Xiao Ming said.

After a pause, he said: "Tang Wenjie will do this diplomacy. What you are doing now is military preparations. The Suez Canal has been opened. This provides conditions for the empire to increase its military presence in Europe, regardless of whether it is for protecting the empire. For China’s oil interests, or to use force to open up the European market, the empire needs to increase its military deployment in Suez and Tangier. I want you to deploy 50,000 people here within three years to make these two imperial military bases."

Cui Shangan nodded. Now the empire is engaged in agricultural construction in African colonies. With the fertile land of Africa and the empire's agricultural technology, each manor has a rich harvest.

The grain, vegetables, and meat in these estates directly supplied the empire’s offshore military bases, eliminating the arduous task of transporting supplies from the empire.

In the past, it was almost impossible for the Empire to deploy 50,000 people here, but now it is very easy.

After all, in the industrialized empire, African farms are also mechanized, and the efficiency is very high. "Yes, the emperor." In response, Cui Shangan turned and left.

Watching Cui Shangan leave, Xiao Ming glanced at the intelligence documents. In fact, he was not very concerned about changes in Europe.

Because for the empire, the gap between the strengths of the two sides is now getting bigger and bigger. The reason why he is messing up in Europe is just to save some effort when he wants to clean up Europe.

After all, there are many European countries and the situation is complicated. In some countries, even several changes a year, it is not practical to focus on supporting a certain person.

This time the Empire’s use of France is over, and the next country the Empire will cooperate with will be Austria.

In short, he will not make Europe so peaceful.

Decided to adjust the European policy, Xiao Ming immediately sent a mission to Austria. As he guessed, less than a month after the mission had set off, new changes occurred in Europe. France and Prussia jointly attacked Austria.

On the tenth day of Austria's attack, the imperial mission arrived in Vienna.

"Beasts, Henry and Ferrie II are beasts, and Austria really shouldn't dance with them."

Facing Tang Wenjie, Franz angrily rebuked the shameless behavior of the two countries. Within ten days, Austria was annexed in Poland and 16 cities were lost on the southwest border.

The French army that experienced the civil war was very brave and good at fighting, and coupled with the advanced weapons provided by the empire, the Austrian army retreated steadily.

"Your Majesty now understands that it is not too late, Henry also betrayed the covenant with the empire." Tang Wenjie said.

After arriving at the city of Suez established by the Empire on the Mediterranean coast of the Suez Canal, Tang Wenjie first sent people to Paris.

In Paris, his people suffered a cold reception, Henry did not appear from the beginning to the end, and the agreement of the matter was naturally left.

I have to say that Henry's trick is very smart. He not only expressed his dissatisfaction with the empire, but did not directly deny the original promise.

However, in Tang Wenjie's opinion, this can be directly determined as Henry's betrayal of the covenant. The Empire will not circle with Henry on this issue. His performance can only be appreciated by himself.

Franz was calm on the surface, but his heart was already on the verge of collapse. Facing the two-sided attacks of France and Prussia, Austria could not support it for long.

He said: "This Henry is damned, he deserves to be punished like an empire."

Tang Wenjie smiled ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ He said: "This time I have received full authorization from the emperor. Now I have ordered Mediterranean merchant ships to stop transporting materials to France. The evil actions of France and Prussia have disrupted the regional balance of Europe. This is something that the empire cannot tolerate, and I think it is also something that your majesty cannot tolerate."

"That's right." Franz was also smiling. He knew that Tang Wenjie was talking about scenes, and any regional balance was nonsense. It was the purpose of the empire to control Prussia and France.

But he can only agree now, so he said: "His Majesty, the emperor of the empire, is truly righteous. We Austria is willing to cooperate with the empire, but now we face the attacks of France and Prussia, we may not have much time."

Tang Wenjie was not worried at all. He came up with an agreement and said: "In order to maintain peace in Europe, we decided to establish the Vienna Convention Organization. As long as Austria is firmly committed to the agreement, it is equivalent to joining the Vienna Convention Organization. Since then, the Empire and Austria will become The founding country of this convention organization."

Franz showed a puzzled look. He said: "Then what use is this organization for Austria?"

Tang Wenjie smiled and said, "The purpose of this organization is to implement collective defense between states. Any state party must provide assistance, including the use of force, when a war occurs with another country?"
