Chapter 1036: It's not too big to watch the fun, let's add another fire

Views:

The tsarist government's decision undoubtedly poured another barrel of oil on France, which was already full of sparks, making the situation even more out of control.

Fortunately, after the victory of the Anti-French War, the Allies collected the weapons of the French, otherwise they would not just attack the single Russian soldiers.

Seeing the full-scale escalation of the conflict, King Carlos, who was at the center of the storm, resolutely fled the powder keg in Paris under the pretext of seeking international assistance.

The king was forced to run away to avoid the storm. The French government, which had been on strike to protest, naturally closed its doors.

A similar scene happened after the war in the original time and space. It's just that the Germans have a solid foundation, and the war was not fought on the mainland, and the losses were not as great as the French.

At that time, the German government called on workers to strike to prevent the French from taking away their coal resources, and printed money to subsidize unemployed workers to maintain their livelihoods.

The Mark Inflation that shocked the world broke out during the "print, print, print..." that the government started the money printing machine in order to subsidize the unemployed workers.

A group of seven wounded fists came down, and while the Weimar Republic was playing with itself, it also dragged the British and French economies into the water.

The French, in particular, did not get the resources they wanted, but were spattered internationally.

The garrison has been losing money and can't see any gains. For France, which suffered heavy losses in the world war, the pressure is indeed a little big. In the end, there was really no other way and was forced to make concessions.

The French have proved with facts that the bottom line is used to break through. In the game with the Germans, the French government made concessions again and again, and finally gave up a Third Reich.

Although the current situation in France is similar to that of Germany in the original time and space, the opponent it faces is completely different.

The anti-French alliance does not need the resources of France, and takes cutting off the supply of resources and industrial and commercial products as a bargaining chip. It is estimated that the Vienna government will not frown until the next century.

In particular, the anti-French alliance is a joint garrison of various countries in France. Except for the large number of Russians, the number of garrisoned troops in other countries is not large.

The small number of troops means that the military expenditure is not large. Even if the French government shuts down and suspends military spending, it will not scare everyone for a while.

Of course, these are not the reasons for King Carlos to run away. In the final analysis, the previous revolutionary government played too much fun, and the French people have long entered the era of per capita billionaires.

Relying on printing money to help the unemployed is obviously impossible. Unable to restore the economy and help the refugees, why not run away and stay

On the surface, it was a government strike to protest against the brutality of the Russian army, but the deeper cause was the collapse of government finances.

Even if King Carlos has made a lot of money from anti-corruption, this precious fund needs to be used on the edge, and it cannot be wasted in a stable situation.

Originally, these had little to do with Franz. He was a melon eater, and he was in charge of watching the fun.

However, the younger brothers who suffered the unavoidable disaster refused to agree. Let's ask the Russians for an explanation. Everyone was a little cowardly.

After all, it's a bear, and most people can't afford it. Even if the territory is no longer bordered, everyone is always jealous.

However, it is not enough to let it go. The French government has already gone on strike and has to bear the cost of the garrison. Everyone can hold on in a short time, but it will not work if it is delayed for a long time.

Originally, everyone wanted to give the tsarist government a face, waiting for them to clean up the mess. But after seeing the measures taken by the tsarist government, everyone has understood: this is not to solve the problem.

Before the delegation arrived in Paris, although the situation in France was turbulent, King Carlos was still staying in the palace, obviously waiting for the Russians to come to negotiate.

However, the negotiation had just begun, and the king was frightened and ran away.

Although everyone does not know what the specific negotiation content is, judging from the speed of King Carlos' running away, the Russians must have done nothing.

The younger brothers hope that the Vienna government will intervene, just to appease it a little. In any case, the Russians have to be given a chance to prove themselves.

The problem is that Carlos ran away, and the relatives of the Bourbon dynasty didn't go to flee, and ran to Vienna without saying a word. What's the matter

It was really silent, everyone thought Carlos went to Spain, and when he showed up in Vienna, everyone knew it was a false shot.

If you think about it, there is nothing wrong with it. It is true that Spain has relatives in the family. The problem is that it was still an enemy in the previous battle for the throne. Although the relationship has been eased later, the relationship between the two parties is still not close to the point of intimacy.

The most important thing is that Spain is now too busy to take care of itself, and it is impossible to mix in France's bad things, unless it is down the road.

Relatives among the royal family

Which brat king, who just finished breastfeeding, is expected to support them in public opinion for the benefit of the family

Since it's useless, don't bother. To save affection, use one point less, but it will affect the harmony of the family.

It's easier to go to Vienna, because only here can solve the problem!

There are only so few European powers, and the only ones capable of stopping the Russians' actions are Shinra and Britain.

Carlos has no water in his mind, and naturally he will not go to London to humiliate himself. Even in order to avoid the Vienna government making excuses to refuse, he simply concealed his identity and sneaked in secretly.

Carlos' plan proved successful. When the French king appeared in Vienna, Franz, the melon-eating crowd, was successfully dragged into the water.

No one likes to be calculated, and Franz is no exception. Aside from the initial welcome banquet, a courtesy attendance, Franz put Carlos aside for the rest of the time.

If you can't eat the melon, you need to find a way to solve the problem. As for how to solve the problem, it depends on the luck of the French.

Solving it from the source, solving it in a muddy way, or releasing a bigger problem and covering up the previous problem are all solutions.

Out of a responsible attitude, Franz summoned Foreign Minister Wesenberg at the Vienna Palace to discuss the aftermath.

"Let's talk about the current situation in France first?"

As a qualified melon eater, Franz has been paying close attention to news related to the turmoil in France recently. It's just that now he only reads newspapers, not intelligence.

After all, the editors of this kind of international news that the public loves to see and hear have always given full play to their own brains and have done artistic processing before publishing it. Far more readable than those boring intelligence materials.

"Truth" has never been an important thing for the people who eat melons. In the case of not involving self-interest, the liveliness only needs to be good-looking, no matter who wins or loses.

Watching experts and scholars guessing and bragging is a pleasure in itself, like watching monkeys in a zoo.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Foreign Minister Wesenberg: "Since Carlos left Paris, the French government has been empty, even the police who maintain the law and order have been put on long vacations, and social order has collapsed.

Before leaving Paris, Carlos had issued an announcement. Not only the atrocities of the Russian army were accused, but all the blame was placed on the Russians.

Contradictions have been put on the table, and a nationwide anti-Russian wave is now sweeping towards the Russians.

In order to contain the collapse of the situation, the Russians also took steps. They first handed over the weapons of the French army, and then increased the arrest of anti-Russian elements.

These measures have curbed the anti-Russian wave in the short term, but with the shutdown of the French government, no one has distributed relief materials, and it is inevitable that the French people will be forced to embark on the road of violent resistance due to hunger and cold.

We also found a 120cm howitzer in a smuggling boat seized by the Navy off the coast of France not long ago.

The interrogators learned that they had participated in this smuggling activity for more than three months, and the accumulated smuggling equipment was enough to arm two regiments.

It's just something we caught by accident, there will be more smuggling boats that don't get caught. Plus some of our allies are also involved in the arms smuggling trade in France.

Now importing French weapons and equipment may be enough to carry out a large-scale battle. The most important thing is that these smuggling activities are premeditated.

There are various signs that the French, who are unwilling to fail, are gathering strength at this moment and want to get rid of the shackles on their bodies.

The atrocities of the Russian army only catalyzed the outbreak of conflicts in advance, and brought them moral support by the way.

There is only one force in France that can use so much energy to smuggle and cover up the news.

Facts have proved that our King Carlos is not as simple as it seems on the surface. Everything they are doing now is just preparing for their next plan.

I just don't know if their ambition is just to get rid of the shackles on their bodies, or to restore the French Empire. "

Frankly speaking, Franz was still a little excited when he heard this answer. The facts are as expected, there is indeed a black hand behind the chaos in France.

It's not worth it for him to open a trumpet and fight people in the newspapers. The seemingly weak King Carlos is indeed the big boss behind the scenes.

The joy of keyboard warriors is as simple as that. The older he got, the older Franz became, the more wicked he became.

Bad taste is bad taste. After all, reality is not a game, and there is no chance to start again after a failure. France is the best example, falling from the cloud to the abyss after losing once.

"So, the Russians were unlucky this time and sent themselves to the door?"

Franz asked in a teasing tone.

It was never a secret to the Viennese government that resistance lurked in France. Any big country with a long history and heritage will not give in so easily.

Although the anti-French war hit France hard, it did not interrupt the spiritual heritage of the French. The French, who are unwilling to fail, must resist.

It's just that no one expected in advance that Carlos would become the leader of this group of people. Of course, this is only a slight surprise.

Under the traditional European cultural system, if you want to do something big, you must find a well-known figure with appeal.

As the current king of France, Carlos is naturally everyone's first choice.

Unlike the Bonaparte Dynasty, which was elected by the people, Carlos was not only born in the orthodox Bourbon Dynasty, but also the king of France recognized by the international community.

This increases operability.

In theory, as long as the French act a little miserable, Carlos will come forward to seek support from the international community, and then choose a suitable reason to attack, and there is still hope for expelling the Allied forces stationed in the homeland.

Even if the plan is exposed, there will not be much loss for Carlos personally.

As the king of France who was supported by the European Continental Alliance, as long as he did not make a big mistake in the face, the Vienna government would not be able to slap him in the face and bring him down.

Franz wouldn't allow it, even if others thought so. The abolition of the king, which involves the common interests of the monarchy, must not be done hastily.

As long as Carlos jumped out and shouted against Shinra, Franz would not do anything to him. Doing things in secret is a basic quality that any qualified politician must possess.

If nothing else, even the members of the anti-French alliance still smuggle arms to France for their own benefit

"Check it out and find out..." It was obviously overthinking. This kind of thing is not to be seen at all, regardless of the fact that it is someone else who smuggles the arms, but it is Shinra who produces these arms.

Everyone knew that the flow of weapons into France would exacerbate the chaos in France, but everyone did it anyway.

In addition to the fact that the benefits are indeed great, the more important thing is the thinking of "if I don't do it, others will do it". Anyway, what will happen in the end, it's better to earn the money yourself.

I didn't stop this kind of behavior, but I didn't just want this little cheap. The fundamental reason is the chaos in France, which was originally indulged by the Vienna government.

The power of hatred is huge, unless it completely breaks the spine, otherwise France, which has recovered its vitality after 20 or 30 years, will be another trouble.

Obviously, if a big country like France slaps him, it can only hurt him, but it will not kill him.

For the long-term stability of the European continent, the Vienna government not only pretended not to see the undercurrent in France, but also secretly pushed it.

It is a pity that it is still too early to reveal, and the French have seized an opportunity to gain the solidarity of the international community.

For the sake of Shinra's international reputation, the next move to suppress France can only be carried out by the Russians.

The tragic tsarist government made a knife without knowing it. No wonder Franz would gloat, after all, such an opportunity is too rare.

Foreign Minister Weisenberg: "Yes, Your Majesty. The tsarist government is now stumbled upon it, and the French plan to accumulate strength will soon be unable to hide.

Of course, the tsarist government may also be mentally prepared. After all, in previous smuggling campaigns, the Russians have always held the lion's share.

Maybe after the war broke out, the bullets that hit the Russian soldiers still flowed out from the hands of the Russian troops stationed in France. "

The greatest arms dealers sell weapons to the enemy, and finally hit themselves. Now the Russians are about to use practical actions to explain this truth to the world.

After wandering for a few steps, Franz said slowly: "Then we will add another fire and send a cannonball to the Russians that can counteract public opinion.

Find the media to publish the evidence of the French smuggling arms and violating the Vienna Treaty, and see how Carlos explains it. "
