Napoleon II Reborn

"In this way, the Austrian royal family will become a decoration of the country just like the United Kingdom, without any actual power. Although the status is noble, the power of the country is in the hands of others. In this way, there is no threat to our country." Gregor suddenly realized. He just said, according to Xiao Jie's personality, obviously he would not leave hidden dangers for himself.

Xiao Jie nodded and remained silent. His ten-year career as an emperor had greatly changed his state of mind.

"Your Majesty, should we also control the military power of the other countries?" Gregory asked.

"That's not necessary. But it is also necessary to limit the military strength of each country. The military strength of each country must not exceed 100,000. At the same time, large-scale wars must not occur between countries. Small conflicts are understandable. And, once the empire needs to recruit troops from these countries They must obey the imperial order unconditionally." Xiao Jie said in a deep voice. He made up his mind to let these countries train troops for France for free. Although their troops may be much weaker than the French ones, they can still be used as cannon fodder.

"What if they refuse?" Gregor asked. Others are not fools, of course they know what France is planning.

"Then support the families who are willing to accept these conditions. I think the families you listed are not the only ones in those countries who want to be promoted." Xiao Jie said with a smile.

Gregor nodded. Anyway, the initiative is in the hands of France. Those families can't help but change people. Anyway, there are still many people who are staring at those thrones eagerly.

The two then discussed some other issues before Gregor left.

On June 5, the French Undersecretary of Foreign Affairs Campbell, on behalf of the French government, went to Vienna and invited the major families and celebrities of the Austrian Empire to gather in Vienna to discuss the post-station reconstruction work in Austria. All families sent representatives to attend. On June 11, when Compini arrived in Vienna, many people came to see him. The people who gave gifts and treated guests almost burst the door, which shows the enthusiasm of these people.

On June 13, at the Imperial Palace in Vienna, Compagny called those invited and began a meeting. At the meeting, Campbell first put forward the request of France, that is, the defeat of Austria and the exile of Emperor Francis I. Due to this situation, France asked the Austrian Empire to pay France 10 billion francs in war reparations, mainly by the Kingdom of Austria, Hungary Kingdom and Principality of Slovakia assumed. Regarding this decision of France, these three countries had criticisms, but France was very tough. In the end, they still had to accept it. According to the agreement, the Kingdom of Austria will bear 4 billion francs, the Kingdom of Hungary will bear 3.5 billion francs, and the Principality of Slovakia will bear 2.5 billion francs.

The second resolution is France's disposal plan for the Austrian Empire. When Compini announced this plan, some people were delighted, some were quite angry, and some did not change their faces, as if they had expected it.

"Your Excellency, the Kingdom of Bohemia expresses its full support for this resolution of your country." King Frederick I of Bohemia first said excitedly. Of course he supported it, because this proposal fully doubled the territory of Bohemia, unless he was a fool to object.

Gail DeWitt of the DeWitt family in the Kingdom of Hungary and the Grand Duke of Slovakia in the Principality of Slovakia were not surprised, because they had already known the result from Gregor.

Corey Conrad of Austria's Conrad family turned pale, because Gregor promised to support the Conrad family to become the royal family of Austria, but he didn't expect that everything would change after a short time .

Louise's face was also very ugly. Because Xiao Jie promised her to become the queen of Austria at the beginning, but now Austria has been dismembered into several countries, and she can only become the queen of Austria. That's fine, but this queen is just a decoration, without any real power. What's the use of such a throne?

"Your Excellency Compagni, you are not mistaken. Your Excellency Gregor didn't say that at the beginning. He has clearly promised our family that our family will be in charge of the throne of Austria." Corey Conrad couldn't bear it. He held his breath and couldn't help asking.

Sure enough, Compini's expression changed instantly. Isn't it embarrassing for Corey Conrad to confront him in front of so many people? So, he said coldly: "This is the decision of the empire. If your family thinks the decision of the empire is wrong, you can refuse to accept it." The meaning is also very obvious, if your family doesn't want to do it, then we have no choice but to replace it.

Corey Conrad was even more furious. He didn't expect that Compini didn't even give an explanation, but directly responded to his words. He was about to explode, but was stopped by others. At this time, he also realized that with his small family, how could he compare with a huge empire. It is easier for someone to crush their family to death than to step on an ant. So, he had no choice but to sit down resentfully, for the benefit of the family, he had to hold back the anger in his heart. However, what he didn't know was that because of his performance, Compagnie was already very upset. After returning to Paris, he even pointed out that the Conrad family was not suitable to be the prime minister of Austria. If they insist, this time their family may not even share any interests. Even so, Xiao Jie finally decided to let Corey Conrad be the interim prime minister of the Austrian government. Choose a prime minister yourself. Corey Conrad's loss outweighed his gain this time, and his impulsiveness ruined the family's long-term interests.

Corey Conrad's performance also made the other big families in Austria secretly happy, and they all speculated whether their family could use this opportunity to remove Conrad from the horse and put their own family on the throne.

Seeing this, Louise quickly swallowed back the words that had reached her throat. She knew that if she was asking questions, it would definitely arouse Compini's disgust again. Although Xiao Jie was there, Compini didn't dare to do anything to her, but she could still make things difficult on purpose.

Next, because of what happened just now, no one touches Campbell's brow anymore, so no one dares to raise objections to the resolution on military power. Even though they may disagree in their hearts, no one Speaking out, no one wants to follow in the footsteps of the Conrad family.

In the next few days, according to the requirements of Paris, Campini also distributed other powers in various countries. In general, except for Bohemia, which has not been interfered by France, the cabinets of other countries are controlled by France. Single-handedly facilitated, those cabinet members are also pro-French families or forces. Another exception is Austria. Originally, according to the previous discussion, it was going to evacuate the Austrian royal family, but because of Corey Conrad's trouble, Compagni simply emptied Corey Conrad and asked him As a figurehead prime minister, power in the cabinet is effectively delegated to other members.

The first task that France requires all countries to complete is to form an army and eliminate the guerrillas that are almost flooding in all countries. With the full help of France, all countries have established their own armies, and then began to wipe out their own guerrillas. It may be to please France, so they worked very hard, and all kinds of despicable and shameless methods emerged one after another, and they did not treat their compatriots among the guerrillas at all.

At the same time, in order to pacify these areas as soon as possible, France also sent special forces to participate in the operations. According to intelligence, they used airships to carry out vertical strikes against the leaders of the more powerful guerrillas. After losing command, the guerrillas became vulnerable. It took almost half a year for the guerrillas to be eradicated, and except for a small number of areas still active in the mountainous areas, other areas have calmed down.

But ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ The situation in the Austrian region has not been stabilized, and the contradictions between countries have gradually emerged. As Bohemia's national strength increased, it gradually showed its ambitions, and it often clashed with Slovakia. If it weren't for France, it might have already faced each other. The contradiction between Hungary and Austria is also growing. Both countries are major members of the former Austrian Empire, and their strength is also the strongest among the countries. But because the Austrian army is directly controlled by France, Hungary dare not provoke France no matter what. But the seeds of conflict were planted. The ethnic conflicts in Croatia have also become very serious. Xiao Jie saw all these, but he didn't intend to deal with them until the rule of France was shaken. Just open one eye and close one eye. Of course, these are things for later.

After the Austrian problem was resolved, Xiao Jie once again turned his attention to the Russian battlefield. After more than a month of preparations, the French army's pre-war preparations are finally over. The front line has stockpiled enough ammunition and supplies for three months, enough for them to launch a large-scale military operation.

At this time, the staff department finally came up with an action plan for the next stage. The plan is code-named 'Bear Hunt'. The main content of the whole plan is that the French army and the servant army will divide into three groups to attack St. Petersburg, the important city in northern Russia, and Moscow, the capital. It is expected to conquer these two areas and eliminate the Russian army within 3 months. main force. Then, the troops began to hoard supplies for the winter, preparing to wait for the winter to pass before launching the final blow to Russia, so as to avoid the situation that occurred during Napoleon's expedition to Russia.
