Holy Roman Empire

The main purpose of persuading the Tsar to invite allies to participate in the suppression of the rebellion was to end the war as soon as possible and save military expenses. It was not really worried that the rebels would not be put down.

As Nicholas II said, the backbone of France is broken.This kind of break is not a spiritual break, but a real break.

The young and strong domestic labor force suffered heavy losses in the war, and the military industry system was also destroyed by the Allied forces.The elite troops that survived were also sent overseas by Spain to work as mercenaries.

Although the French upper class, including King Carlos, are supporting the resistance organization, they are all staying in the dark.

There is no way, the anti-French alliance is too powerful, and France at its peak could not stand it, let alone now.

Supporting resistance organizations and inciting people to resist is just to strive for better conditions, not that everyone is ready to turn against the anti-French alliance.

If it hadn't happened suddenly, they would definitely continue to fight, gradually accumulate strength, and wait for the international situation to change before waiting for an opportunity.

It is refreshing to jump out and fight the Russians now, but behind the refreshing is thousands of French people falling in a pool of blood.

In a sense, the bloody suppression methods of the Russian army also played a role.Although it aroused more resistance from the French people, it also deterred the French upper class.

Non-violent non-cooperation is fine. If these big men jumped out to fight the Russians to death, it would be unthinkable.

It may not be possible to implicate the nine clans, but implicating the whole family, the Russians still do what they say.

According to incomplete statistics, in the past three months, at least 50 French fell under the guns of the Russian army, and more than [-] were exiled to Siberia.In the Paris area controlled by the Russian army, the total population has dropped by half.

There are no big figures to take the lead, and the many resistance organizations in France are doing their own thing, so they are naturally not the opponents of the Russian army.

Of course, this is only the current situation.What will happen in the future, no one knows.

Perhaps, under the pressure of the Russian army, the French resistance organizations suddenly united.You must know that the invasion of foreign enemies will also help to promote the unity of all parties.

……

Chancellor of the Exchequer Sergei Witte suggested: "Your Majesty, we have captured a large number of captives, and it would be a waste of food to lock them up like that. It is better to send them to build the Central Asian Railway.

It just so happened that the civilian husbands we recruited before have completed their service period, and it is time to replace them. "

It doesn't matter whether the civilian husband has completed his service period, the key is that Sergei Witte is eyeing this batch of free labor.

You know, in the 19th century, building railways was not an easy job.In the absence of sufficient mechanical equipment, it can only rely on manual work.

Casualties occur almost every day at railway construction sites.It can be said that every section of railway is piled up with human life.

No matter how cheap the gray animals were, they were still their own.Anyway, people are going to die, and it is better to kill your enemies than your own.

Without the slightest hesitation, Nicholas II immediately replied: "The Ministry of the Army will generate electricity for the troops on the front line and ask them to work harder to capture more prisoners of war. The follow-up construction of the Central Asian Railway depends on them."

It can be seen that Nicholas II is still a good father of the Russian people when it does not involve issues of principle.

Chapter 55 Double standard

Just as the Russians were scrambling to harm France, something happened again in Morocco across the strait.A Spanish immigrant town was attacked by indigenous tribes, and thousands of people were slaughtered.

After the news spread, the entire European world shook.I don't know who started it first, and the media has given the headline "Morocco Tragedy".

The governments of various countries have also joined in the fun, followed by a strong statement, and shouts of beatings and killings are heard endlessly in the European world.

The Spanish government, which was cornered, had no choice but to bite the bullet and announce the dispatch of troops to retaliate.

It was also a massacre, and the Russian army did nothing in France; the indigenous tribes of Morocco attacked the Spanish colonists, but it attracted the screams and killings of the European world.

There is no way, the world is so realistic.Mao Xiong is powerful in combat, and also has the characteristics of thick skin and toughness, so he knows that he is not easy to mess with at first glance.

It's easy to shout and kill, but if something happens, troops must be sent to intervene. Who wants to fight Mao Xiong for the benefit of the French?

What's more, it is not without support that the Russians dare to act recklessly in France.

Although the anti-French alliance did not say anything on the surface, the countries supported the tsarist government with practical actions.

Now is the 19th century, the European world can represent the international community, and the anti-French alliance can represent the European world.

There has never been a statement of self-sanction.As a member of the Anti-French Alliance, no matter how good the Russians are at fighting against France, they will at most be scolded in public opinion.

If you don't know the position of your allies, you can have nothing to fear.No matter how strong the tsarist government was, Nicholas II did not dare to order more prisoners to go back to repair the railway.

Compared with the powerful and backed Russians, Morocco is obviously much easier to bully.There is absolutely no reason to miss this opportunity to gain a sense of presence.

Even if the situation escalates, when it is time to send troops to intervene, it is just a chance to make a fortune.

Everyone is the best at bullying the natives.It's not that you can't win, there is absolutely no need to coax.

Of course, this possibility is still very small.Anyway, Spain still regards itself as a great power. If it faces a few indigenous tribes, it has to ask European countries for help, so they don't have to mess around.

Whether it is due to the pressure of domestic public opinion or because of the tiger skin of "the status of a great power", the Spanish government can only bite the bullet and send troops to retaliate.

……

Looking at the telegram in his hand, Franz asked suspiciously: "The Spanish government wants to draw troops from the French garrison, so don't they want the interests in France?"

From the very beginning of its establishment, the anti-French alliance has paid attention to the principle of reciprocal benefits and obligations.

The Kingdom of Spain did not do much in the anti-French war, and one of the reasons why it was able to share huge benefits after the war was that it stationed troops in France and took on the heavy responsibility of suppressing the rise of the French again.

The relevant treaty has been signed long ago, and the meat has been eaten in the stomach. Now if you want to go back on your failure to fulfill the agreement, you can only spit it out again.

Prime Minister Karl: "Your Majesty, since the start of the Franco-Russian War, the oil and water garrisoned in France has been greatly reduced. Maybe it will resume in the future, but the Spanish government obviously can't wait.

If it is not to take immediate action and use special means to deter the Moroccans, I am afraid that similar massacres will happen again.

Before that, the French colonists had already experienced it with their lives.The defeated country has no human rights. Driven by the power of hatred, everyone tacitly chose to turn a blind eye.

For the Spanish government, it doesn't matter much to abandon Morocco, which is nominally ruled, but watching its own expatriates being massacred by indigenous people just doesn't work. "

The Spanish government has no time to take into account the interests of France, even if it wants to cut the flesh.For the Vienna government, this is undoubtedly bad news.

To contain the re-emergence of France, Spain is an indispensable pawn.Without this crucial link, to curb the rise of France, Shinra can only do it by himself.

Otherwise, there are only three guards from Sardinia, Switzerland, and Belgium, obviously they can't suppress the French!

Fortunately, there are still Russian thugs.Judging from the current situation, after such a toss by the Russian army, the time for the French to recover has been delayed by at least 15 years.

Especially not long ago, Nicholas II also ordered the front-line Russian army to capture more prisoners and send them back to repair the railway, which was a fatal blow to France.

Originally, after the end of the European war, France suffered from a serious shortage of young and strong labor force, and after the disaster of the Russian army, the young and strong labor force will be even less.

If it wasn't for fear of causing bad reactions, Franz would have wanted to award Nicholas II a super anti-French medal as a sign of encouragement.At least ten tons of gold must be used to make it, otherwise it will not be worthy of his achievements.

After thinking about it, Franz waved his hand and said, "Forget it, let the Spaniards withdraw if they want to withdraw, anyway, they won't be needed for a while.

The Russians are doing very well now, and they can consider increasing their support later.Gotta try and see if France can be abolished with the Russian knife. "

As a peace-loving emperor, Franz has always avoided any death feud with any major country.Even if it is really tied, it will try to resolve it.

If you don’t believe me, you can read the history books. All the enemies that Shinra encountered during the development process finally let go of their hatred under the inspiration of God.

As for whether to inspire Dafa physically or spiritually, the tortuous process experienced is no longer important.

under this guideline.Even after becoming the overlord, the hatred value pulled down by the Holy Roman Empire is still not high.

France is an exception, limited by its special geographical location and religious beliefs, it is not suitable for extraordinary measures.

Although there is no way to inspire the French, the hatred value that has been pulled down is shared by more than a dozen countries.

After the European War ended, the Holy Roman Empire was once the biggest enemy of France, but soon they couldn't hate it.

Compared with the Russians who rode directly on their heads and domineering, and the traitorous Italians who swaggered, Shinra really did not fail to rank.

This is a good start. The first step to forgetting hatred is to help create a bigger enemy. At present, it seems that the Russians have overfulfilled the task.

Such a sharp knife is not in vain.If it succeeds, it will be a bloody profit. If it fails, it will be a war between the Russians and the French. What's the matter with Shinra?

Of course, deep down in his heart, Franz couldn't help feeling a little jealous of the Russians.

There is no way, the bears in the 19th century were really screwed up.It's not that they are afraid of how good the Russians are at fighting. In fact, the combat effectiveness of the gray animals has always been only second-rate.

What really frightens Franz is that the bear is too fertile.Just like a gourd baby, life is a series of children.

In the past ten years, the average birth rate of the Russian Empire has exceeded 5%. Rao Franz has introduced a law to encourage births, and Shinra still lags behind the Russians in terms of birth rate.

Simply comparing the birth rate, there is no intuitive difference from the numbers.But the calculation ratio is very scary. The birth rate of the Russian Empire is nearly a quarter higher than that of Shinra.

Fortunately, the medical conditions in the Russian Empire are backward, and the survival rate of newborn babies is low. Otherwise, the position of Europe's No. 1 populous country will change hands.

Since the 70s, the populations of Russia and Austria have been almost the same, and it lasted until the establishment of the Holy Roman Empire, which truly surpassed the past.

At first glance, the population growth rates of the two countries seem to be comparable, and there is no problem.In fact, it is not the case. The Russians have experienced several wars on the way.

If it hadn't been for the consumption of a large number of people in the war, the Russian Empire would have quickly become the No. 1 populous country in Europe just like the original time and space.

More people is not everything, but no one is absolutely impossible.The most typical example is France. If the population of the main ethnic group did not increase, they would not have lost so badly in the European war.

The fear is the fear, and there is actually no good way to deal with the Russian Franz.While the Russian-Austrian alliance bound the Russians, it also kidnapped Shinra.

Interest is the best bond.In any case, it was impossible for Franz to do the stupid thing of "killing one thousand enemies and harming oneself eight hundred".

As in the beginning, there is only one way to limit the growth of Russian power, and that is to let the tsarist government continue to wage war.

One victory after another, while forging the supreme prestige of the Russian Empire, it is also constantly devouring the heritage of this old-school empire.

With so many reasons put together, it is unreasonable not to let the Russians and the French fight each other!

Chapter 56 An Unusual Gathering

As the overlord of continental Europe, we must consider the problem from a global perspective.It is obviously not enough to support the Russo-French war, and Spain must also support Morocco when it sends troops.

It's just how to support, it's Franz's turn to have a headache.It is impossible to fight directly, and the rules of the political game are very clear: protect your own wealth.

The world of great powers is the most realistic. If it is really impossible to handle a few indigenous tribes, then Spain is not qualified to own colonies.

Material assistance, that is, meat buns beat dogs and never return.Morocco does not interfere with the affairs of the Holy Roman Empire, and there is no need to suppress it at all.

Substantial assistance, no matter what is given, is a blood loss, so it can only encourage Dafa spiritually.Regardless of whether the Spanish government needs it or not, it is such a happy decision anyway.

……

The snowflakes are falling, and the bustling streets of Paris in the evening are now only full of misery.There were gleams of light on the white sidewalk.

A gust of cool wind blows on the face, and a gust of piercing cold wind blows up, rolling up falling snowflakes, as if a sharp knife is splitting...

A carriage drove forward slowly against the wind and snow, and from time to time there was the squeaking sound of wheels pressing on the snow.

For this scene, the passers-by on the street turned a deaf ear and came and went 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 opened suddenly, and a middle-aged man in the carriage poked his head out, looked around, and suddenly sighed.

"Damn Paris!"

Since the 19th century, France has really been in the limelight.It's just that every time the scenery passes, what is left is a mess everywhere.

Paris, the capital, was the center of the tragedy.Every time suffering befalls, Paris bears the brunt.

The gorgeously dressed woman patted the middle-aged man's shoulder, and explained, "Breya, don't sigh. Trust me, everything will be fine.

The dogs raised by the Russians have very good noses.If they get caught, it will be a trouble for us.

Now Paris is in their hands, it is really not appropriate to provoke them.The blood debt left by the Russians, we will settle with them one day. "

People under the eaves had to bow their heads.Under the vanguard of the Russians, even the French nobles now have to bow their heads.

Fortunately, it is the 19th century, and the era of the nobility is not over yet.When facing the nobles, the lawless Russian soldiers had no choice but to restrain themselves.

Of course, these benefits are limited to the bright side.No one knows what will happen to the secret encounter.

In order to survive better, the French nobles must also lower their proud heads and make compromises to the Russians.

It's not that no one resists, this is the end of those who resist, and it's not very good in the end.The Russian army does not kill nobles in name, but there are many ways to kill a lot of people.

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 high-handed rule of the Russians not only angered the French people, but also angered these French nobles.

Most of the rebel organizations in France were created secretly by the French nobles, and even many leaders of the rebel army were children of nobles themselves.

Of course, most of these people are down-and-out aristocrats, except for a title of nobility, they are not much different from ordinary people.

The owners of real families and businesses are all swallowing their breath.Even if one wants to take revenge, it is done in secret, and on the surface they are all law-abiding people.

Brea is also a member of the Anfen people, but he is a little more passionate than ordinary people.Has been working hard to get rid of the Russians.

The snow was getting heavier, and the carriage stopped in a manor in the suburbs.Looking around, there were no fewer than fifty carriages that appeared in Brea's eyes alone.

It can be seen that this is a gathering of nobles.Playing like this under the eyes of the Russians, I have to admit that the French nobles have a big heart.

But after seeing the noble family crests on the carriage, no one would be surprised.
