Chapter 1097 It’s hard to tell
For Frederick VII, he didn't care whether he was Danish or German, so Franz's proposal was very attractive to him.

As for Frederick VII, he brought Lamond with him simply because the Nationalists were too powerful, but there was obviously a more ferocious and powerful person sitting in front of him.

Frederick VII naturally did not care about Lamond's feelings and couldn't wait to speak.

"Really?"

"real."

Franz looked pleasant on the surface, but in his heart he was filled with contempt for the person in front of him. The person in front of him could no longer be described as mediocre, he could only be described as a complete waste.

But why can such a thing still become a king? Because at this time, royal families across Europe were generally facing an heirloom crisis.

In a few decades, many families will die out, and the impact of the Austro-Prussian War will cause some countries to disappear permanently in the long history.

This can be regarded as helping Prussia to a certain extent, otherwise the internal chaos in Germany during World War I would definitely be more serious than in history.

Franz did not want this, so he deliberately promoted the merger of the same clans.

The book returns to its true story.

No matter how much Lamond tried to persuade him, Frederick VII remained unmoved and even kicked Lamond out personally to show his sincerity.

In fact, Lamond also knew that he could not change anything, but as the leader of Danish nationalists and one of the highest heads of the Danish government, he still had to do something.

It was immediately decided at the meeting that Prussia would complete its withdrawal before September 1848, 9. On the same day, Denmark officially joined the German Confederation and became the 20nd member after Alsace-Lorraine.

Both sides in Putan and Dan breathed a sigh of relief at being able to end this meaningless war.

However, Franz did not intend to let Prussia go. In any case, the Kingdom of Denmark was attacked by the Prussian army. Nearly one-third of the land was lost for half a year. The Prussians always needed to pay some compensation.

Of course, if Franz didn't speak, someone would speak up for him. William IV had a headache when he heard the word compensation.

After all, Prussia's economic situation at this time cannot be said to be very bad, it is also on the verge of bankruptcy.

"I was also deceived by the National Assembly"

William IV just wanted to shirk the responsibility quickly, but it backfired because once he admitted his mistake, it would be a wrong war.

"No, there is nothing wrong with Prussia's actions. The people are being treated unfairly and threatened, and we, the rulers, have an obligation to seek justice for them."

Franz spoke, and the entire conference hall fell into silence again. Franz could not let this group of people mislead the nature of the war, so he had to correct this mistake himself.

As for whether he would offend Frederick VII, Franz didn't care at all. After all, who would talk nonsense with a dead man?

“We could give Lübeck to Denmark as compensation for the war in Prussia, and then Saxe-Lauenburg to Prussia as compensation.

What do you think? "

As one of the four free cities, Lübeck's strong financial resources and economic value are exactly what the Kingdom of Denmark dreams of. Frederick VII was already very lucky to have been able to keep the two principalities, but now that there were greater benefits to be gained, he naturally could not object.

On the other hand, Saxony got too much at this meeting. Not only did it complete the merger of the same clan, it also got Hamburg, one of the four free cities.

Although Hamburg is not as wealthy as Frankfurt, it is only second to Frankfurt. However, Frankfurt's banking industry has been "protected" by Austria, and the stock center has moved to Vienna. I am afraid that it will be difficult to continue its former glory in the future.

Hamburg has a natural excellent port, and has completed preliminary industrialization reforms. The quality of its citizens is high, business is prosperous, and transportation is developed. It can be said that Saxony has gained a huge advantage.

It is reasonable to give up Lauenburg to Prussia. After all, the benefits cannot be shared by one family.

However, King Augusta II of Saxony was not happy at all. He knew very well that he had become a sinner and it would be difficult for him to regain power in the future.

So what does this gluttonous feast have to do with him, the loser?

Being able to end the war, escape punishment, and gain a new territory was a perfect outcome for Prussia. At least in the eyes of Friedrich List, an economist, it was a huge profit.

However, William IV was depressed. Although Lübeck was just a handful among the four free cities, it was still more than ten times stronger than Lauenburg.

Without the existence of Lübeck, William IV could still accept the consolation prize of Lauenburg, but at this time he only had overwhelming hatred for Franz and the Austrian Empire.

Even so, William IV had to accept the congratulations of other countries, and showed a cheerful acceptance, and even took the opportunity to flatter Franz.

The four free cities were divided into Bavaria, Hannover, Saxony and Denmark respectively. This is somewhat unexpected, but it is also reasonable.

All the monarchs were happy, only William IV felt aggrieved, but fortunately this was not the first time.

At the end of the meeting, Franz had to resolve the remaining issues of the National Assembly.

Orthodoxy throughout the German Confederation had launched a comprehensive counterattack and won.

However, as the revolution with the largest number of participants, the largest scope, and the most far-reaching influence in European history, it is conservatively estimated that at least 1.5 million people participated in the entire German region.

Of course Franz set an example for them. The colonies were the best places of exile. One and a half million Germans would soon fill the Texas and Transvaal colonies.

These fanatical nationalists can greatly reduce the probability of being assimilated by the local indigenous people, and are more likely to quickly moralize the local area.

At the same time, many of the shortcomings of nationalists were very great qualities in the colonies. Franz didn't have to worry about their cohesion and identity at all, let alone send troops to guard against their fighting among themselves.

According to American behavioral and sociological logic, nationalists are the group of people who are most opposed to colonization, but Franz wants to say that this is only because they themselves are not colonizers.

In addition, about 300,000 Jews were associated with the National Assembly. There are indeed many masterminds behind this, such as the famous Rothschild family, Warburg family, and Selgemann family.
They account for more than half of the banking business in the German region, but they are helpless in the face of the real machine of state violence.

Since all countries were in a state of war, and the constitutionalists were defeated too quickly, as well as some inexplicable "accidents", their proud escape skills and copying abilities were of no use.

Of course, more than 90% of the Jews were wrongly accused. After all, the nation of national elites can only be a legend.

This time, everyone in the Confederation Congress had a rare consensus. After all, they had done it before and wouldn't mind doing it again.
