Although Japan and Spain have each received the support of the boss, the maintenance of warships also takes time. The naval battle has come to an end temporarily, but the curtain of the land battle has just begun.
I don't know whether to say the Spaniards are eager to win or hard-headed. In short, the expeditionary force launched a comprehensive counteroffensive and launched landing operations on multiple islands at the same time.
The specific results of the battle have not been announced. Anyway, the Spanish expeditionary force is advancing all the way. Except for a few large islands that are still in the hands of the Japanese army, the rest were recovered by the expeditionary force.
What happened, Franz didn't care if the Japanese had any conspiracy. As long as the Philippine campaign dragged on, the longer it dragged on, the better.
Not to make money from war. Both Japan and the West are poor, and no matter how much you squeeze, you won't be able to squeeze a few drops of oil. The main thing is that it takes time to recover from the wounds of war, and the longer it drags on, the more say the Vienna government will have.
What worries Franz the most at the moment is not the situation in the South China Sea, but the restoration of France. Because of the relationship between the heirs, the three royalist parties have almost degenerated from human brains to monkey brains, and they actually let the new government grow bigger under their noses.
After the nobles reacted, they miraculously discovered that the enemy had reached out to the army. The fact that high-level officers can't win over does not mean that lower-level officers and soldiers can't win over either.
Realizing the danger, the royalists finally knew to let go of their prejudices, but it was too late. The revolutionaries took the first step, and many senior members of the royalist party suffered accidents, and the royalist party was without a leader for a while.
In addition to scolding a few pig teammates, Franz could only bite the bullet and help them deal with the aftermath. In other words, the representatives of the three dynasties were brought together to discuss who would clean up this mess.
Even Napoleon IV, who was in exile, came to Vienna to attend the conference as an emperor. It is estimated that ordinary people would not dare to think about it.
However, all this really happened. In order to clean up the mess in France as soon as possible, the Vienna government had to make compromises.
For example, the role of the Bonaparte dynasty in the European War was redefined.
Napoleon IV, who was originally the main responsible person for the war, was not held accountable because of his status as a monarch, but now he has become a pure and flawless little white flower.
War duty
If it doesn't exist, it is obviously the capitalists who held the emperor hostage and made a decision. How can the emperor be held responsible
Napoleon IV's greatest responsibility is incompetence, as a monarch to be held hostage by capitalists, it is really shameful.
However, he succeeded to the throne at a young age, and the auxiliary ministers were bought by the consortium, so that the emperor's power fell by the side, and the latter happened.
Out of the responsibility of the monarch, His Majesty Napoleon IV is responsible for this and has decided to abdicate in the near future.
In order to avoid the situation where the main and weak ministers are strong again, the Bonaparte Dynasty voluntarily gave up the inheritance right this time because the next generation of successors was young.
No matter how nonsense this explanation is, Franz now believes it. Of course, it is unavoidable to drink a few more glasses, or else the conscience will be difficult! As for how many people will believe outside, that's none of his business.
Anyway, the final result was that the Bonaparte dynasty gave up the anti-Austrian flag, and the Vienna government also recognized their right to the French throne.
That's right, "the throne" is not "the throne", France itself is a kingdom, and it is obviously illegal to call the emperor. Now that the illegal regime has been overthrown, it is natural to restore orthodoxy.
This paradoxical explanation is certainly "unreasonable," but politics has never made sense.
To stabilize the situation in France, the new king would have to support the Bonapartists, and a compromise was inevitable.
Then, the son of Napoleon IV became the third in line to the French throne. If the heir from the Bourbon and Orleans dynasties had an accident, or it was his turn in the end, the other members of the two dynasties could not grab it.
Funny, right
But this is politics!
It seems to be a battle for the throne, but it is actually a redistribution of interests. The king's rotation is a compromise between the three royalist parties.
On the surface, the Bonaparte Dynasty undoubtedly suffered a great loss in such a substitute order, and it might have been isolated from the throne forever.
In fact, it is not the case. The exiled monarch can live very freely, but it will be different if he brings the government in exile. A large group of people must be raised by the monarch, and no matter how big the family business is, it can't support it!
Although Napoleon IV swept away a lot of money when he ran away, no amount of money could stand still. Especially after the tense situation in Paris, there was an endless stream of people defecting, and the number of young and old together was about to exceed 10,000.
Refuse it, they are all "loyal ministers" of the Bonaparte Dynasty, and doing so will make people chill; if they accept all of them, Napoleon IV can't afford it.
In this context, Napoleon IV had to compromise if he did not want to go bankrupt. Only the new government can get rid of this trouble by returning the family business of these supporters and giving up the suppression of them.
As a wise man, Napoleon IV naturally knew that after the emergence of the European Union, the European political structure has been stabilized, and it is impossible for the Bonaparte Dynasty to be restored in a short time.
At least until the "red name" on the head is eliminated, no matter how good the opportunity is, it is related to them. It is better to take the opportunity to sell for a good price instead of continuing to carry it to the end, consuming the last strength in your hands.
A political compromise not only got rid of the heavy economic burden, but also eliminated the "red name" on the head, and by the way, it also bought a wave of people's hearts.
How could the emperor who abdicated so that his subordinates could return to the country and preserve the family business would not be supported
It is conceivable that after this wave of operations, the cohesion of the Bonapartists will rise to a new level, especially those who return from exile, will remember this friendship.
Even for the sake of family reputation, these people will support the Bonaparte dynasty for a long time to come.
The throne was lost, and the line of succession came last, but the Bonapartists regained their strength.
If the political whitewashing can be successful, the Bonapartists will be the most powerful political faction in France for a long time to come.
There are natural advantages and disadvantages. At the same time as buying people's hearts, Napoleon IV also lost some people's hearts. From the moment the compromise was reached, the Bonaparte dynasty was on the opposite side of the radical revengeists.
No matter how good the reason is, in the eyes of the radical revengeists, this is betrayal. Traitors are more annoying than enemies, and it is estimated that these people can't wait to get rid of Napoleon IV at this moment.
These are what the Vienna government wants to see the most. The French are too active. If they don't fight internally, they will fight externally.
Franz is satisfied with the political structure of the European continent and does not want another European war, so the hatred of the French is better kept in a cage.
After some haggling, Carlos, a Bourbon supporter who received the support of the Vienna government, became the first in line, while the Orleansians introduced Philippe as the second in line.
On the surface, the Bourbon dynasty has made a lot of money, and has two crowns of Spain and France at the same time, and returned to its peak era overnight.
It's a pity that this is only on the surface, not to mention that the Carlos faction and the Spanish royal family have long been in trouble, the mess of France alone is enough to cause a headache.
Today is different from the past. If a few months ago, the royalists reached an agreement and obtained the approval of the anti-French alliance, the restoration could be completed immediately; unfortunately, this good time is gone forever. Well, it's a civil war.
…
"kill!"
"Come on!"
"Da da da… "
With shouts of killing and gunfire, Paris was once again plunged into chaos. After confirming that the royalists had reached an agreement to restore, the new government immediately took action to purge the city's aristocratic forces.
"Damn it, the phone line is dead. The enemy obviously has a plan to destroy us all!"
Knowing is knowing, but Count Adrian is powerless to everything that is happening in front of him.
The number of aristocratic private armies in Paris is not small. If they can unite, they are simply not comparable to the armed forces of the Revolutionary Party.
However, there is no "if" in reality. The assembled noble private army is indeed powerful, but the scattered noble private army is another situation.
After a period of preparation, the original rabble revolutionary army, after absorbing the released prisoners, has been reborn in combat.
Relying on the numerical superiority of the revolutionary army, the new government preempted the aristocratic private army by surprise.
If this is the case, it is not impossible for the aristocratic private army to make a comeback. After all, the revolutionary party army not only has heavy weapons, but also lacks qualified officers. Even if the quality of the soldiers has improved, the combat effectiveness of ten points can be used up to five points.
It's a pity that human nature is complicated, and the aristocracy is no exception. Everyone is worried that if they take the initiative to attack, others will not respond, and they will be wiped out.
"Count, why don't we retreat first? Now we have limited strength, and if we continue to be trapped, we will only increase casualties."
The butler's advice is undoubtedly the most practical. There are only a few nobles living in the city, and more nobles still prefer to live in manors.
The revolutionary government has the ability to purge Paris, but it does not have the capacity to carry out a national purge. Once you leave this cage, it is "the sky is high and the birds fly, and the sea and the sky are like fish".
With the strength of the noble group and the support of European countries, restoration is only a matter of time. No matter how hard the revolutionary government tried, it could only be a dying struggle.
Earl Adrian shook his head: "Now is not the time. With only a few hundred of us, we can't run far with our family. Send someone to go down the secret road to contact the nearby Marquis Anderson and Earl of Gutrun, and everyone will be together in the evening. Breakthrough."
Unlike later generations, the European aristocrats of this year are all going to the battlefield. The European Continental War was so intense that French nobles of the right age basically walked away from the battlefield, and Count Adrian was no exception.
Having had combat experience, Adrian naturally knows to make the best choice. The communication was interrupted, and it was impossible to assemble the private armies of the nobles in the whole city, but this did not prevent the nearby military nobles from forming a group.
"Yes, Count!"
Just when the housekeeper was about to turn around and leave, Count Adrian hurriedly stopped: "Wait a minute, no need to send people. It is estimated that their situation will not be much better. Even if people are sent out now, they can't be contacted. .
Maybe it will reveal the existence of the secret passage, which can be exploited by the enemy. In the evening, when you break out of the siege, you can contact them again. "
It was a gamble, but Count Adrian had no choice. The revolutionary army has no artillery, and in theory, waiting for help is the best choice.
But the problem is that the inside of the noble group is also a mess, and the guy with appeal is not meeting God and meeting in Vienna, and the rest can't command anyone.
The battle has been going on for a long time, and the army originally controlled by the noble group has not appeared on the battlefield, so Count Adrian cannot think about it.
If the reinforcements don't come, it will be over. You must know that since the Second Revolution, more than four figures have been publicly executed by the new government, and even more have been executed secretly.
Although no nobles were publicly executed, there were quite a few nobles who had accidents, and some of them were higher in status than him. If it weren't for the tense situation, the royalists would not have compromised so quickly.
