Chapter 1253: Even if far away, he must be punished

Franz's expression was a little stiff. Why did his sister suddenly want to marry and go to Spain? What idiot is behind this?

Although his heart was in turmoil, Franz still looked as normal and rubbed his sister's head.

"What nonsense are you talking about? What do you think about all day long? How old are you?"

"Didn't Queen Marie Antoinette also marry in France before she was fifteen?"

Maria Anna curled her little mouth and muttered unconvincedly.

"Can't you give me a less tragic example?"

Franz couldn't help but complain.

Maria's big eyes blinked.

"Lakshmi."

Franz was stunned for a while before he remembered the black-skinned female imp.

"What are you trying to learn from Indian Asan!"

Franz said angrily, his usual gentleness and indifference completely gone.

"Indian Asan?"

Maria asked curiously.

"What did you learn from that naughty kid? You learned badly, you know? You should study hard, have fun, eat well, and sleep well now.

Don't think about weird things. "

"Aren't you saying all day long that you hate those rubbish that enjoy the benefits of noble status but are unwilling to fulfill their noble obligations?

I'm just fulfilling my duties as a royal. "

Maria spoke very seriously, and Franz also sat up and answered seriously.

"Grand Duchess Maria Anna."

"Yes, brother."

"The idea you have with Spain is currently not in line with our country's strategy. Spain's strategic value is limited, and you will have a more important mission in the future."

"yes!"

Maria Anna saluted with her chubby little hands and prepared to turn around and leave.

"Come back, what idiot told you to do this?"

Franz had thought of many countermeasures against what Isabel II and his daughter of Spain had done, but he had never thought of rising to the level of war.

After all, according to Franz's original design, the Russians should be in front, so the Russians should not be too weak or too strong.

It would be best for everything to follow the original historical trend. Franz only needs to make slight adjustments to obtain maximum benefits without taking too many risks.

But this time Franz chose to join the fight, and the news that the Austrian Empire declared war on Spain quickly spread throughout Europe.

10 Downing Street, London, UK.

Earl Derby roared while looking at the latest information coming from him.

"Crazy! Crazy! Totally crazy!"

"The Austrians believed that the Spanish had humiliated them, so they wanted to retaliate by waging war against the Spanish."

The young official on the side was slapped by the Earl of Derby before he could finish his words.

"Think with your pig brain before you speak!"

The young official was a little dizzy from being slapped. He just read the information truthfully. In addition, in his impression, the Earl of Derby was a good-tempered person. Even when he was angry, he would be sulky and he liked to put pressure on himself.

But this time, the Earl of Derby actually started to anger others. The young official was a little angry, but due to the huge gap in status between the two parties, he seemed to have nothing to do with the Prime Minister.

The Earl of Derby did not even bother to comfort the injured officer's soul. He went straight to his office.

"Gentlemen. The war is about to begin!"

"Are they the Russians? Before the Polish problem is solved, they are going to invade the south again? Are they really crazy?"

"No! It must be the French. The best way for Napoleon to stabilize the situation after he came to power is to win a war.

Who will France go to war with? "

"Does this need to be said? It must be Alsace-Lorraine! Do they still dare to attack Austria?"

"Alsace-Lorraine is now included in the German Confederation. If the French really dare to fight, they will go to war with the entire German Confederation."

"That's not certain. Maybe Napoleon still wants to relive his old dream?"

"Then they should start with Italy first!"

"In comparison, France is more likely to regain Algeria. After all, the Duke of Omer and the mother of the Count of Paris were very unhappy.

Louis Philippe, the regent, was even too lazy to care about the conflicts between his children and grandchildren.

Of course, he couldn't control it. "

"Who knows? Maybe it's the principalities under the Ottoman rule, or a certain ethnic minority under the Austrian rule."

Officials in the Prime Minister's Office were talking and laughing about the possible war. After all, the more chaotic Europe is, the better, and the more chaotic it is, the more beneficial it is to Britain.

"No! It's the Austrians and the Spanish. Austria has decided to declare war on Spain."

"Austria and Spain? Are the Austrians crazy? For what reason?"

"God knows! The reason for the Austrian Empire is to save Spain from the evil tyrant and maintain order in Europe.

Our intelligence officers believed that this was just a whim of the young emperor, and that it ended up being a punitive war based on diplomatic insults. "

The Earl of Derby shrugged. At this time, he had returned to his senses. Although Austria's war against Spain was somewhat unexpected, it seemed to be more in line with Britain's interests.

"Are you kidding? Maintaining European order? Austrians deserve it too? Is this still the fifteenth century? Haha!"

"What a bunch of freaks. A country with a coastline of less than 200 kilometers actually wants to start a war across France.

It’s so funny! "

The Earl of Derby also smiled and said.

"That's right! This is a good opportunity for our British Empire to avenge its shame."

Although the Earl of Derby was very happy, the officials of the Prime Minister's Office were obviously not so optimistic.

"Mr. Prime Minister, you know that our national strength is not enough to launch a large-scale war against a great power like Austria. We should avoid being directly involved in the disputes on the European continent.

But we can wear out the Austrians like we did with the French. As long as we maintain a small number of opposition in Spain, Austria will have to invest a lot of manpower and material resources to fight against it."

Napoleon was like this back then, and so was Louis Philippe. Franz Joseph I must be no exception.

The British are very experienced in disgusting people. However, Isabelle II's reputation is not very good, so aid cannot be rushed, otherwise it is likely to follow the footsteps of the Austrians.

Paris.

Louis Napoleon could not understand Franz's operation, but the Austrian Empire's declaration of war on Spain had caused panic in France.

If the Austrian Empire really overthrew the existing Spanish regime, would the Habsburg family relive the old dream?

What would happen to France, which was sandwiched between Austria and Spain at that time?

The previous war can be understood as a means for the Austrian Empire to dismember France. If the Austrian Empire continues to tolerate the evil, will it gradually merge France into the German Confederation, thus realizing the evil plan of the Habsburg family?

Of course, this is a severe challenge for Louis Napoleon, but also an opportunity, an opportunity that can give him supreme glory and authority.

I have a cold, so I will update today.
