AHC/PC: Kleindeutchland in 1866

There a lot thread about Grossdeutschland in 1866 but there aren't much discussion about kleindeutschland level German unification in 1866. Is this plausable? Assuming Prussia totally destroyed Austrian north army after Sadowa and marched into Vienna.
As far as I know Bismarck didn't want large Catholic population in Germany but conditions forced him for German Empire IOTL. With chancellorship of Bismarck in 1866, kleindeutschland seems unplausable.
So we need to get rid of him before end of Six Weeks War lets say he is assassinated by an Austrian(causes outrage in Prussia?) unlike unseccesfull attempt IOTL and Austria were defeated worse than OTL, Would Prussia form German Empire and force South German States to join?

Maybe convice them the money is too good? France might cry but they are still licking their wound from México anyway

1867 Luxembourg might become a real war now as southern states Will not like France meddling
 
France might cry but they are still licking their wound from México anyway
Wound? Which one?

It wasn't a bloody nose, France was actually being successful in Mexico.
The end of the war of northern aggression* made it clear for France that their position in Mexico was untenable. Another factor to count in is the mess that Prussia was making back in Europe.

So, yeah, I don't think France had an important wound to lick. France knew that Europe was far more important than Mexico, that's why they chose to leave the place.

* No, I don't support the CSA, but that names sounds cool, lol.
 
So will go even bolder them, still they can cry but that was what the southern states wants, still luxemburg 1867 will be something here.
