(I'm really sorry, Xiaoyu has four classes in the morning, four classes in the afternoon, and an experiment of > in the evening. I can only update one chapter today, please forgive me.)

Makovsky and Smeigley despised Claude fiercely in their hearts: it is **** to achieve permanent peace in Europe as soon as possible. What did you do earlier? During the second anti-French alliance, Britain also invited Prussia to participate, but Prussia refused on the grounds that its own interests had not been damaged. During the third anti-French alliance, Prussia agreed to send troops to participate in the war and signed a peace treaty with Russia, but it was discovered that after the Russian-Austrian coalition was defeated by Napoleon, it immediately threw an olive branch to Napoleon. Now the French are determined to deal with them, so they brazenly talk about maintaining peace in Europe. Basically, I want to be a **** and also want to set up a chastity archway.

However, the United Kingdom and Russia have always spared no effort to win over Prussia, because Prussia itself has a strong military strength and obvious geographical advantages. They are very close to France and can quickly invest in the attack, unlike the United Kingdom. Strait, Russia to cross the European continent.

Therefore, Prussia can change its position and join the alliance against France. Britain and Russia are still very welcome. It is a pity that Austria did not agree because it suffered too much loss in the last war and it is far from recovering. Participating in this grand meeting, otherwise their confidence would be greater. Even so, they firmly believed that they would be able to defeat that arrogant little man and his country this time.

Since everyone's purpose is very clear, that is to eliminate Napoleon's threat to other European countries, so the talks went smoothly, but at the end when it came to the distribution of benefits after defeating France, the three countries had serious conflicts disagreement.

Prussia wanted to expel the influence of France from the German states after the war, disband the Rhine League, and establish a new German Empire led by Prussia. It also advocates demanding huge indemnities from France, ceding the northeastern part of France, and a series of extremely harsh conditions. After all, having a powerful neighbor around made Prussia very insecure.

Because Russia is far away from France, it is impossible for Russia to cross such a long distance to occupy French territory. Their current focus of invasion is entirely on Poland, the Balkan region, which has become a vacuum due to the severe weakening of Austria, and the old empire whose strength has seriously declined. Ottoman Turkey. But they are also unwilling to see a powerful German Empire in Europe. You must know that Prussia itself is already relatively strong, and the strength of other German states is not small. Because they are in a dispersed state, they have no threat to Russia. But if Germany is unified by Prussia, it won't be long before a country that is more frightening to them than France is likely to appear on the European continent, which will greatly damage Russia's interests, so this situation is something that Russia must not seen. Therefore, Makovsky clearly rejected the conditions proposed by Prussia. He advocated the dissolution of the Rhine League and demanded compensation from France, but he never agreed to cede the northeastern part of France to Prussia. Prussia is what they want to see most.

The British and Russian ideas are very similar, and they have always implemented a continental balance policy. Since the strait separates them from the European continent, and they have the most powerful navy in the world, they don't have to worry about the flames of war burning to their homeland. For hundreds of years, no country's army has been able to land in Britain, and wars have always been fought outside Britain. They don't want to see a particularly powerful country in the European continent, so they always unite with the second-largest to kill the strongest, just like uniting other countries to form an anti-French alliance now, and uniting France to fight against Germany in the two world wars in later generations . It is in their best interest only if the European continent is in a state of war. The British side also expressed strong opposition to the conditions proposed by Prussia. They finally killed France, and of course they did not allow a more powerful German Empire to emerge. They demanded the recovery of Hannover occupied by France, the partition of French overseas colonies, and appropriate compensation. But they do not agree to seriously weaken France, also checks and balances are the most important.

Prussia did not agree with Britain taking back Hanover, they had long regarded Hanover as theirs. But because Russia and Britain did not agree to establish the German Empire, Claude was very angry. The three parties argued for a long time, and finally reached a unified opinion after three days. And signed the anti-French treaty that afternoon, and the fourth anti-French alliance was formally established.

The treaty stipulated that Prussia would declare war on France in early October, Britain and Russia must declare war on France before October 10, and send troops to join the war no later than the end of October. In this war, Prussia will invest no less than 300,000 troops, and this number will increase if unexpected circumstances arise. Russia also has no less than 300,000 troops, including 50,000 elite Cossack cavalry. Britain will send its navy to block the coast of France, and will land no less than 50,000 troops in France or the Netherlands to attack the French mainland or the French garrison in the Netherlands.

Regarding the distribution of the interests of the countries after the station, the provisions are as follows: the Rhine League is announced to be dissolved, and the states of the Rhine League will return to the state in 1805. France compensates Prussia, Britain and Russia 200 million, 150 million and 170 million francs respectively~ www.mtlnovel.com~ All French overseas colonies will be divided equally among the three countries. However, in view of the relative weakness of the Prussian and Russian navies, Britain purchased the ownership of French overseas colonies from Prussia and Russia for 200 million francs respectively.

After the signing of the treaty, the three countries began intense pre-war preparations. France also smelled danger and began preparations for the war. All officers and soldiers of each legion canceled their vacations to ensure that they could quickly enter the battlefield one day after the combat order was issued.

Prussia is a traditional army power, maintaining an elite army of 200,000 for many years. At the same time, they also have a rich source of troops. Within half a month, they can mobilize 100,000 troops to the battlefield, and three months later, they can mobilize another 200,000 troops to the battlefield. Napoleon's reluctance to be an enemy of Prussia at the beginning is also inseparable from its strong war potential.

On September 23, because of the escalating conflict between France and Prussia, Prussia announced war mobilization. A large number of young men walked into the barracks from the countryside or cities. to the battlefield.

France warned Prussia to cancel the mobilization, but Prussia ignored it. As a last resort, France also began to mobilize, and the legions also began to mobilize frequently. The Guards, the 1st, 4th, 5th, and 6th armies also all moved to the border between France and the Rhineland Alliance. The Rhine Alliance also urgently formed the Rhine First and Second Army. The war is imminent.

On October 1, King Friedrich William III of Prussia declared war on France in the parliament, and the parliament passed the motion to declare war on France with a 91% approval rate.
