The Second Reich: Beginning with the Prince of Prussia

Negotiations with the Austro-Hungarians were going well, the Austro-Hungarians needed an ally of the Second Empire, and Franz Joseph I was currently focused on fighting the woolly bear.

At this time, if they didn't form an alliance with the Second Empire, it would be tantamount to pushing the Second Empire to the woolly bear, so they not only accepted the alliance very readily, but even showed more anxiety than the Second Empire, and quickly confirmed and signed the alliance between the two countries, and confirmed this matter.

In this way, the situation in Central Europe is completely determined.

But after signing this covenant, Andrews was not happy at all.

"Teacher, I think this covenant is a bit too hasty!"

On the way back to Bolin, Andrews voiced his worries.

Bismarck nodded: "I understand your concern, you are worried that after the Austro-Hungarians get this agreement, they will let go of their hands and feet to confront the woolly bear, which will greatly intensify the conflict between them and the hairy bear, and the hairy bear who feels the pressure will completely fall to Gaul and the sun never sets, right?"

Andrews nodded, Bismarck seemed to have thought of this, but why didn't Bismarck persuade the emperor, but was in such a hurry to sign this pact with the Austro-Hungarians?

"Andrews, you have to remember that some things are not destined to have the best of both worlds.

Looking ahead and hesitating may end up with nothing.

In this case, it is only right to make a decisive choice.

Just like this time, between the Austro-Hungarian and the woolly bear, since we have to choose one, then don't delay, and decide on it immediately.

Otherwise, both countries will be suspicious of us, and even if we make a choice to form an alliance with one of them in the future, most of them will not believe us in their hearts, and then we will only get a superficial ally at most!"

Andrews nodded thoughtfully, and said, "I understand!"

......

Hairy bear capital, Mosco.

When Bismarck learned of his visit to Austria-Hungary and the conclusion of a new alliance with Austria-Hungary, Tsar Alexander III was furious.

"This is a betrayal, a naked betrayal!".

He scolded the Hans for their treachery, knowing that the alliance of the Three Emperors had not yet expired, and they and Austria-Hungary were allies of the Second Empire, but the Second Empire took sides at this critical juncture and sided with the Austrian-Hungarians!

With the support of the Second Reich, the Austro-Hungarians had no scruples and did not hesitate to make a move.

With this move, the situation in the east changed again.

Bulgaria, which was already at war, reached a ceasefire with Serviya, and a serious anti-Russian wave broke out in the Ottoman region of East Rumelia, demanding that the Grand Duke of Bulgaria expel the woolly bear's army in Bulgaria.

This request greatly annoyed the bears, who had invested a lot of manpower and energy in the Balkans in order to recapture Constantinople.

It took hundreds of years to free the Romani and the Bolgaria from the clutches of the Ottomans.

As a result, Bolgaria, a small country that was rescued by them, instead set off an anti-Russian wave with the support of Austria-Hungary, which is like they worked hard to plant a peach tree, but when the peaches grow, they were picked by others!

The furry bears are as angry as you can imagine!

In a fit of rage, Alexander III thought of a proposal before the sun never set.

The sun never sets is right, an alliance with the Second Reich would not do them any good.

Because this covenant was actually a constraint that prevented them from continuing to expand westward.

But once the covenant is torn up, these constraints cease to exist.

However, if the alliance is torn up, it will face the threat of the two great powers of the Second Empire and the Austria-Hungary, and in this case, it will be difficult to confront it with the strength of Mao Xiong alone.

Therefore, it is imperative to find a new, more powerful ally!

And it just so happened that they also had candidates for new allies, that is, Sunset and Gaul, who had taken the initiative to contact them before.

Thinking of this, Alexander III opened his mouth and said to his foreign minister:

"Call back to the people on whom the sun never sets, and tell them that I accepted their offer, but that they must first pay the aid they promised to give us!".

The economy of the woolly bears has always been very bad, they seem to be very bad at managing the economy, and among the major European powers, the economy and government finances of the hairy bears should be one of the worst, not one.

After Alexander III ascended the throne, although he worked hard to develop the country's industry and economy.

Thanks to his efforts, although the domestic industry of Mao Xiong has developed to a certain extent in recent years, this is far from enough.

And fighting a war costs money, and the money spent is astronomical.

Mao Xiong's own weak economic and financial revenues alone were obviously not enough to support them in a war with a powerful country like the Second Empire and Austria-Hungary.

These two countries are not the Ottomans who are often bullied by them, and to defeat these two countries, they need to raise more armies, produce and purchase more and more advanced weapons, and prepare a large number of weapons and ammunition.

These are all going to cost money, and this money, Alexander III naturally hoped that his allies would be able to support it.

When they were allied with the Second Empire before, they went to the Second Empire to issue war bonds to raise military funds for the war when they were fighting with the Ottomans.

Now that they are going to part ways with the Second Empire, the object of this loan will have to be changed.

Fortunately, whether it is the empire on which the sun never sets, or the Gallic empire, these two countries are not short of money.

As long as we get the support of these two governments and smoothly issue government bonds in these two countries, Mao Xiong will be able to raise a large amount of military spending in a short period of time!

With this military spending, they will have the confidence to fight!

......

Faced with the move of Tsar Alexander III to ask for money, Prime Minister Gladstone was very disdainful.

"We can give money, but we have to let the woolly bears show sincerity first, otherwise, who knows if they are cooperating with the Second Empire and deliberately swindling money from us?"

Gladstone doesn't believe in the Woolly Bears, or that there is no country in Europe that believes in the credibility of the Woolly Bears.

This is a country with a very bad international reputation, and the hairy bear will borrow money every time it fights, but every time it is time to repay the money, the hairy bear always pushes back, and even simply plays hooligan to repay the debt, not only does not give interest, but even does not repay the principal.

After doing this again and again, the reputation of the woolly bear is completely stinking, and the capitalists of various countries no longer trust the woolly bear, let alone buy their bonds easily!

Even if the interest rate on their bonds is much higher than that of other countries, no one is greedy for it.

After all, you are worried about other people's interest, and others are worried about your principal.
