As a continental hegemon, we must consider the problem from a global perspective. It is obviously not enough to support the Russo-French war. Spain must also support Morocco when it sends troops.
Just how to support, it was Franz's turn to have a headache. It is impossible to go directly into battle, and the rules of the political game are very clear: protect your own wealth.
The world of foreign powers is the most realistic. If even a few indigenous tribes can't handle it, then Spain is not qualified to have colonies.
Material assistance, that is, meat buns beating dogs with no return. Morocco does not interfere with the Holy Roman Empire, so there is no need to suppress it.
Substantial assistance, no matter what is given, is blood loss, so it can only encourage Dafa spiritually. Whether the Spanish government needs it or not, it is such a happy decision anyway.
…
Snowflakes are falling, and the bustling streets of Paris in the evening are now only full of misery. The white sidewalk reflected the dim light.
A burst of rich and refreshing wind blew across my face, followed by a sharp and piercing cold wind, and rolled up the scattered snowflakes, as if a sharp blade was splitting...
A carriage slowly drove forward against the wind and snow, and from time to time there was a creaking sound of the wheels pressing on the snow.
For this scene, the pedestrians on the street turned a deaf ear, coming and going in a hurry.
The curfew time is coming soon. If you don't go home quickly, it will fall into the hands of the Russian soldiers on duty, and you will have to peel off a layer of skin.
The window of the carriage suddenly opened, and a middle-aged man in the carriage stuck his head out, looked around, and suddenly sighed.
"The troubled Paris!"
Since the 19th century, France has really been in the limelight. It's just that after every scene, what's left is all over the place.
Paris, the capital, is the center of the tragedy. Every time suffering comes, Paris bears the brunt.
The gorgeously dressed woman patted the middle-aged man on the shoulder and explained, "Brea, don't sigh. Trust me, everything will work out.
Russian dogs have very smart noses. If they get caught, it will be a problem for us too.
Paris is in their hands now, and it is really not appropriate to provoke them. The blood debt left by the Russians, we will one day settle with them. "
People are under the eaves and have to bow their heads. Under the front of the Russians, even the French nobles had to bow their heads now.
Fortunately, it is the 19th century, and the era of aristocracy is not over yet. When facing the nobles, the lawless Russian soldiers must not restrain themselves.
Of course, these privileges are only on the bright side. What will happen in the secret encounter, then no one knows.
In order to survive better, the French aristocrats must also bow their arrogant heads and make concessions to the Russians.
It's not that no one resists, this is the end of those who resist, and in the end it's not very good. The Russian army does not kill nobles in name, but there are plenty of ways to kill someone.
Brea nodded slightly: "Don't worry, Maria. I know what to do next. Let the Russians be proud for a few days."
Where there is oppression, there is resistance. The oppressive rule of the Russians not only angered the French people, but also the French aristocrats.
Most of the resistance organizations in France were secretly created by the French nobles, and even the leaders of many resistance troops were themselves children of nobles.
Of course, most of these people are destitute nobles, except for a noble title, they are not much different from ordinary people.
The real masters of great wealth and great business are all swallowing their breaths. Even if you want to take revenge, it is done in secret, and on the bright side, everyone is safe.
Brea is also a member of the Anfen people, just a little more bloody than the average person. Efforts have been made to drive out the Russians.
The snow grew heavier, and the carriage stopped at a manor in the suburbs. Looking around, there were no less than fifty carriages that only appeared in Brea's eyes.
It can be seen that this is a noble party. Playing like this under the eyes of the Russians, I have to admit that the French aristocrats have big hearts.
But after seeing the aristocratic family crests on the carriage, no one will feel strange.
With so many nobles gathered, it is impossible to keep secrets. Rather than a secret meeting, it is better to hold a banquet with great fanfare.
The European aristocratic circle was originally: "Cut constantly, and the rationale is still chaotic".
After the end of the European Continental War, the anti-French alliance did not carry out in-depth liquidation of these people. It was not that the governments of various countries did not want to, but that they simply could not deal with them.
Life and death on the battlefield, there is nothing to say. After the war, we are still family. Seven aunts and eight aunts are always able to climb relatives.
Since they are all family members, they can only follow tradition. After all, the tradition is to protect the interests of the entire noble group, and there is no need to overthrow it as a vested interest.
Now these guys are just violating the curfew and illegal gatherings stipulated by the Russians. It is a felony to fall on ordinary people, but it is nothing to the nobles.
If people are really arrested for illegal gatherings, it is estimated that the European world will be fried tomorrow. Although the bears are not afraid of criticism from European public opinion, they still want aid from European countries.
Unless it's proven that these guys are plotting a rebellion, the Russians don't really have much to do with them.
Entering the banquet hall, Brea's brows furrowed even tighter. It was said to be a banquet, but there was no banquet atmosphere at all.
The people who came first gathered together in twos and threes and chatted about the situation. From time to time, some people sighed, as if they were desperate for the current situation.
When Brea was confused, a middle-aged man not far away suddenly waved: "Brea, come here."
Walking quickly over, Brea pretended to be puzzled and asked: "Leiters, what were you talking about just now, it seems to be very lively?"
Reiters replied helplessly: "Besides the current situation, what else can we care about so much
In recent times, the Russians have gone too far. If it goes on like this, the Paris area is about to be tossed out by them.
According to the news from the dock, in the past week, the Russians have been loading and sending away captured prisoners of war.
Although I don't know where it was sent, it is definitely not a good thing for France. We've lost a lot of young men in the European War, and the Russians are now..."
Don't worry, no, with the end of the European War, everyone has realized the importance of population.
It's just that this realization came too late. Population growth is not guaranteed to grow, especially the lack of young and young labor force is fatal.
Before France could breathe a sigh of relief, the Russians began to act as demons again. Based on the information we have, we know that in the past six months, the total population of France has dropped by at least two million.
Death to death, exile and exile, and running away, the whole of France was plunged into unprecedented chaos.
Of course, it is not entirely without benefits, and their rivals for ruling power have also been almost harmed by the Russians.
In the past, the capitalists, businessmen, intellectuals, and middle class who gave them headaches in the past, because they could not withstand the scourge of the Russian army, many people chose to run away.
Now all businesses in Paris are withering away, and the shops that dare to continue to open their doors are all foreign businessmen, and local businessmen have long been afraid of being looted by the Russian army.
If it weren't for the fact that the family business and France were tied together, it is estimated that these nobles would also run away. Although the Russian army will not do anything to them on the surface, it is impossible to say secretly.
There are not a few nobles who have died unexpectedly recently. The deceased all have one thing in common: they have shown anti-Russian tendencies in public. Such a big suspicion, to say that the Russians are okay, no one will believe it.
Doubt turns into doubt. There is no direct evidence to prove that the Russians got the wrong hands. Even if you want to appeal to the international community, you can't do it.
Compared with the pessimistic people, Brea is still a little optimistic. He comforted: "The situation is not so bad, in addition to the bad news, there is also good news.
The Spaniards have cut their garrison in half, and if the chaos in Morocco cannot be pacified in the short term, it is estimated that they will continue to withdraw troops.
Judging from the current situation, the alliance is not ready to add troops to make up for the gap left by the Spaniards. It seems that the southern region can breathe a sigh of relief first. "
The anti-French alliance stationed troops in France, and the military expenses were all borne by the French. Although the Paris government went on strike, some Russians began to collect taxes by themselves, and other countries would naturally follow suit.
It's just that compared to the straightness of the Russians, everyone still knows how to detour. Usually, locals are appointed as tax officers, unless there is a violent resistance to the tax, otherwise the army is rarely dispatched.
Reiters waved his hand and said, "It's good news for now, but these issues are not something we can worry about for the time being.
Have you noticed that among the people who came to the banquet, a few unfamiliar faces appeared? "
The circle of nobility is not large, and suddenly adding a few strangers, it is difficult not to attract everyone's attention. After Reiters reminded, everyone glanced at the audience instantly, and finally stopped their eyes in a small corner.
It's just that considering the purpose of this banquet, the people who responded tacitly chose not to see it.
Anti-Russia also requires skills. It doesn't matter if you are secretly underhanded, and you must not leave a clue to the Russians on the surface.
Since the people who attended this gathering were not nobles, they could only be members of the resistance organization.
Not to mention that they don't know each other, even if they are brothers, they can only pretend they don't know each other now that they have hidden their identities.
Lin Zi was old enough to have all kinds of birds, and it was quite normal for a few French traitors to take refuge in the Russians among the nobles.
In order to avoid being caught by the Russians, when discussing countermeasures, everyone always spoke orally and never left any paper documents.
There is only one explanation for the members of the resistance organization to appear here openly, that is, the tolerance of the big men to the Russian army has reached the limit.
