He tried to break up Austria's alliance with Britain and the Netherlands because they were friendly to Prussia, and tried to pull France and Russia into the orbit of Habsburg Empire to isolate Prussia.
1749 In March, Queen Tracy called a meeting of Privy Council advisers. When the Queen asked him to express his opinions, he took out a stack of drafts of 126 pages from his pocket and read them out. The draft was read for two hours. Generally speaking, the draft coincides with Queen Tracy's point of view, that is, how to get rid of the status quo and revitalize Austria. The queen felt that she had experienced the elegance of a superb diplomatic art, which sounded thrilling. She totally agreed with Kaunitz and couldn't help kissing him, which was a heartfelt thanks.
1750, when the term of the first ambassador expired, the Queen sent Kaunitz as the French ambassador. 10 June, Kaunitz took office in Paris. The cold ceremony of presenting credentials ended in a few minutes. In his opinion, he and his queen met a cold donkey with a warm face. Kaunitz has been wandering around his apartment for many days. How can he open the iron wall of the French and let two giants who have been hostile for a hundred years shake hands and make peace?
This is/kloc-the most outstanding diplomat in the 8th century. He is using hard years to prove to the world that great achievements are not so dazzling and easy.
After thinking hard, the ambassador finally thought of "good friend" Madame de Pompadour. These two people are not good friends, they met the year before last. They had contact in the shuttle diplomacy negotiated in Aachen, and Kaunitz decided to look for this lady again this time. She was pleasantly surprised by Kaunitz's arrival. This is the first courtesy visit. Kaunitz said nothing about politics, but gave a general answer to the purpose of becoming an ambassador. After many efforts, it is inevitable to persuade Mrs. Ba Du to be a lobbyist for Louis XV, but after one year, there is still no progress.
So in the autumn of 175 1, Kaunitz wrote a report to Queen Tracy. Generally speaking, it is very difficult to recover Silesia and the Franco-Austrian alliance. This report made the queen feel very chilling after reading it. Kaunitz's analysis is undoubtedly reasonable. He made a comprehensive analysis based on the constant exchange of information between his spies in Britain and France and the Queen. This is the last thing the queen wants to hear, but she is the most trusted minister.
Just as the Queen was disheartened, good news came from Kaunitz. He told the Queen that Madame Ba Du had become the master of France! This is really strange, let a mistress sit on the throne of the highest power in the country and give orders! No wonder King Friedrich II of Prussia (that is, frederick the great) also ironically called her "Her Majesty's petticoat II".
1753 On New Year's Day, Queen Tracy rushed Nitz back to China. Kaunitz was appointed as the Prime Minister of the Cabinet, and he turned a new page in the O-Kaunitz era. In the spring breeze, Kaunitz set his new Prime Minister's office in Bauhaus Square, and carefully selected more than a dozen books and documents for his use.
At the initiative of Queen Tracy, Kaunitz established an "Oriental College" a year ago to train future diplomats. At the parliamentary meeting held in August 1754, the Queen decided to propose an alliance to France. When Austria sent a message to France, Britain and Russia signed an alliance treaty, and Britain and Britain were negotiating. Louis XV was frightened. This is a tense diplomatic war. Austria, Poland, Britain, France and Russia all have ulterior motives and are wooing new allies. Especially in 1756, when Louis XV and the Russian queen Elizabeth Petrovsky learned about the Anglo-Prussian alliance, they became even more angry. The kings of these two countries communicated in secret for a long time without telling their ministers. They communicated secretly through the Scottish exile Douglas and the French knight Dean de Beaumont (the prototype of the double-faced knight). In spring, France and Russia resumed contact.
At the same time, Russia strengthened its ties with Austria, and it wanted to cultivate a force to attack Prussia from the west. On March 25th, the czar abandoned the British-Russian treaty and concluded an offensive and defensive alliance with Austria. Louis XV was very angry with Friedrich II's policy and uncompromising to Madame de Pompadour. He formed a view that the new enemy now is the old ally!
1756, 1 in may, the two countries finally signed the Franco-Austrian offensive and defensive alliance, which was also the first Versailles treaty. According to the treaty, each country in Europe will provide 24,000 troops to help each other fight back against any invaders. France will never attack areas occupied by Austria; Austria will remain neutral when war breaks out between Britain and France overseas. Reserve the possibility of other countries joining the alliance treaty. Because of this last article, then, French diplomats brought August III, the elector of Saxony and the king of Poland, and they spared no effort to lure Sweden into the grant and territorial expansion. Friedrich II never imagined that the "three types" would combine to calculate him. This is what he hated later.
The whole of Europe was turned upside down and two new camps were reorganized. But they all have ulterior motives. The purpose of Britain is to seize French colonies and establish complete sea control rights; Prussia intends to annex Saxony and turn Poland into its own territory; Austria tried to weaken Prussia in order to recapture occupied Silesia; On the other hand, France wanted to protect its colonies in America and East India, and to contain the increase of Prussia's power. Russia mainly wants to stop Prussia's invasion of the East, but it also wants to expand its territory in the West. Sweden wants to seize Pomerania in Prussia.
1756 in may 15, France officially declared war on Britain. This kicked off the "Seven Years' War".
1756 On August 28th, Friedrich II led 98,000 men to attack Saxony. At that time, August II Fryderyk Moncny, the elector of Saxony, and King Auguste III of Poland (cousin of Queen Tracy) were still sleeping. Soon, his favorite concubines, jewels, treasury coins and even the diamonds of Queen Maria Yue Se (the cousin of Queen Tracy) were taken away by Pu Jun.. 10 10 1 day, Puao and the Austrian army fought fiercely in Robitz, and Pu Jun won.
From April 65438 to1April 20, 757, Friedrich II went to war against Austria for the first time and attacked Prague in Bohemia. The Austrian army was forced to retreat into the city, while the Pu Jun army was besieged outside the city. Pu Jun's attack on Bohemia promoted the further strengthening of France-Austria relations.
1 In May, the two countries signed the second Treaty of Versailles. It is stipulated that the troops provided by France should be increased to 105000 instead of 24000; A subsidy of 65,438+0,200,000 Gulton was also given to Tracy; Austria will enlist 80,000 people, give the coastal area of Flanders to France, and give most of the Netherlands to Prince Philip. Palma Piacenza and Guastalla returned to their original owners; After defeating Prussia, Austria, Saxony and Pfalcz can recover the land occupied by Prussia and carve up the important territory of the king of Prussia. Queen Tracy was very satisfied with this treaty, and thanked Madame de Pompadour again through Kaunitz, and her wife was also very satisfied.
Of course, this beautiful mistress has no political mind after all. After losing the battle of Colin, Friedrich II decided to send Balbi, a secret negotiator, to contact Madame de Pompadour, but his wife's attitude was somewhat ambiguous. Although she hated the king, she was very happy only when she saw that the king offered her peace. After all, she got two territories that the King of Prussia gave her "lifelong benefits". She couldn't see that this was a desperate scene of the enemy.
At the beginning of 1762, Pu Jun had been beaten in a daze. If it hadn't been for the sudden death of Queen Elizabeth of Russia and the new Peter III's request to withdraw from the battlefield, Prussia would have been carved up long ago. Friedrich II sincerely thanked the Tsar for his timely death. When Peter III issued a declaration to the Allies, intending to conclude a peace treaty with Prussia, the kings of the Allies were shocked. It was not until Queen Tracy received a report from Count Messi, the Austrian ambassador to Russia, that it became clear what Peter III Fedorovici had done. In a word, he wants to emulate Friedrich II and become a great monarch. But soon his wife was ousted and Catherine II ascended the throne. She broke the military alliance with Prussia, but did not tear up the peace treaty.
Finally, 1762, 165438 On June 3rd, France, Prussia, Britain and Spain signed the Provisional Treaty of Fontainebleau. 1654381October 24th, Friedrich II and Queen Tracy also signed an armistice agreement.
1763 In February, Britain and Portugal signed the Paris Peace Treaty with Spain and France. The next day, Bavaria, Wü rttemberg and Pfalcz declared neutrality. On February 15, 2005, without Russia's participation, Austria and Saxony signed the Huber Peace Treaty, while the other signed the Prussian Peace Treaty.
The seven-year war is officially over! Austria was forced to give up the recovery of Silesia.
