The Prusso-Russian War has progressed to this point, and the post-war international situation in Europe is bound to undergo earth-shattering changes. The Vienna Government, as the flag-bearer, naturally wants to guide the situation to develop in a direction that is favorable to itself.
Reeling in his stray thoughts, Franz slowly said, "The Berlin Government is desperate. The situation in the Prusso Federation might be worse than what we understand.
"Given the current development of the situation, the possibility of the Prusso Federation turning the tables is already very small. We can start preparing for the aftermath.
"This time, it's not only about striking down competitors and recouping our earlier investments; we also aim to take the largest share of the spoils."
The Prusso-Russian War is not just as simple as it appears on the surface. The Vienna Government has invested so much effort, and it is not just for the Russians to win the war.
