Chapter 1041

The reality is skinny, whether the French are willing to accept it or not, what should have happened still happened. Now that the war has started, it is no longer within the control of the French government.

In this world where the weak prey on the strong, it is far more reliable for countries to speak with their fists than any other principle.

If the Russians can be defeated on the battlefield, then there is still room for negotiation; if they are defeated again, then from now on, France can rest assured to be a third-rate small country without military power!

For the future of the nation, the French can only fight to the death. If you want to regain everyone's respect, you have to fight back from the battlefield with a knife and gun.

The French government has no retreat, so why not the tsarist government?

The prestige and prestige of the Russian Empire shocked the world, relying on the head iron. If they shrink back when encountering a little difficulty, why should they make European countries afraid?

This Franco-Russian war was brought about by the Russians themselves. If you can't even deal with a defeated and declining France, the face of the Tsarist government will be discredited.

If you lose your face, you will lose it. Its deterrent effect to the outside world cannot be weakened. Looking at the history books of the Russian Empire is a history of war expansion.

In the process of continuous expansion, the Russians also offended their neighbors all over the place. No one dares to provoke the powerful Russian Empire, but once it falls into decline, it will be different.

The first Russo-Prussian War is the best example. As soon as the Russian Empire showed signs of fatigue, neighbors from all directions rushed forward.

If it hadn't been for the Vienna government to take action at a critical moment and give them a hand, there would be no Russian Empire now.

The lessons of history are there, and it is impossible for the Tsarist government not to learn the lessons. What's more, today is different from the past, and the current Shenluo Empire no longer needs to keep warm with Russia.

If it happens again, the possibility of Vienna falling into trouble is far greater than the possibility of pulling them ashore.

Both sides have a reason to win. The bloodiest scene occurred just after the French-Russian war broke out.

In order to clear the place and avoid being attacked by endless guerrillas, the Russian army stationed in Paris resisted international pressure and resorted to the simplest and most effective Lianju Dafa.

However, when encountering a guerrilla attack, the residents of villages and towns within five kilometers of the surrounding area did not report, and all of them had to follow suit. Even in a metropolis like Paris, if a guerrilla attack occurs, the residents of the entire street must be held accountable.

There was no massacre directly, but the punishment method adopted by the Russian army was not much different from the massacre.

Digging potatoes in exile in Siberia seems to have left a thread, but in fact, there is only a conceptual gap in time between being sent directly to see God.

Everyone knows the integrity of the bureaucrats of the tsarist government. They often cheated and abused their own people, let alone their enemies.

Insufficient supplies are necessary, the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled are shipped together, without any medical assistance measures, if you have a fever and cough, you will throw them into the sea to feed the fish.

The exiled French often lost one-third of their staff on the way to the Russian Empire. Those who can walk to Siberia on foot are actually not one in ten.

Even if you get to the place by luck, you may not be able to save your life. The tsarist government often forgets to distribute the necessary supplies.

The thinly dressed and unarmed exiles must go through the double test of nature and their stomachs if they want to survive in the ice and snow of Siberia.

To borrow a comment from Leo Tolstoy: The greatest significance of the tsarist government’s exile policy is to add “fertilizer” to the land of the Russian Empire.

Fortunately, it is winter now, and the temperature in the Russian Empire is low enough. Otherwise, the tsarist government would have been plagued by plague long ago.

That is to say, the virus has not evolved these years. If you have experienced the power of the new crown and SARS, the tsarist government would not dare to play like this.

Of course, with the medical capabilities of these years and the fact that the Russian Empire is vast and sparsely populated, it is estimated that the outbreak of an epidemic virus will not be discovered.

A few percent of the death rate of infected people, what is the difference between that and a cold? It is no wonder that the lethality that can be achieved by the common influenza can attract attention.

What is truly appalling is the highly lethal virus in which a village or a small town disappears directly, such as the plague.

Needless to say, another addition to the hatred between France and Russia. The melon-eaters, who had seen enough of the excitement, also turned into cannonballs one after another, standing on the commanding heights of morality and pointing out the country.

Unwilling to be lonely, the literati did not hesitate to sway their pen and ink, and one open letter after another appeared in the newspapers. Regardless of whether the high-level governments of France and Russia can see it, it will not affect everyone's enthusiasm for creation.

The news media did not forget to add fuel to the flames, criticizing the Russians for brutality one day and the French for being unruly the next.

In short, both France and Russia have become big villains, and they are the objects of everyone's common rejection. It can be seen that political correctness is still important in continental Europe.

The public opinion expected by the French government did not appear on one side, and they even fell into a disadvantage in terms of the public opinion of the members of the Anti-French Alliance.

No matter how excessive the Russian army has done, they cannot withstand the whitewashing of Spring and Autumn brushwork. Taking the Holy Roman Empire as an example, newspapers subconsciously ignored the tragic experience of the French people in exile.

News needs to be notarized, but journalists have a position. France is the enemy, the Russians are allies, and it is self-evident who is inclined.

The conscience of journalists makes them unwilling to distort the facts, but selective reporting can still be done by everyone.

History can be said to be surprisingly similar, and the original time and space are also

There was a similar scene, only the time and the victims changed.

A word of political correctness, any crime can be covered up. Identity determines the position, and the tragic experience of the French people is actually still paying for the previous aggression.

After an avalanche, no snowflake is innocent. Similarly, no snowflake can escape the punishment brought by the laws of nature.

...

In the blink of an eye, 1895 came to an end again. The flames of war burned from the beginning of the year to the end of the year, from the Philippines to the Far East, then to Cuba, then to Morocco, and finally to France.

Wars broke out on four continents at the same time, which is rare in human history. The scope and population involved are no less than the previous European wars.

Another year of Christmas, the outside world is raging, and Vienna is still bustling. The celebration banquet was hastily ended, and Franz came to the highest point of the palace alone, looking into the distance.

When people get older, they are most likely to be sentimental. The two lives combined are over 90 years old, and Franz has to admit that he is old.

Even if it is well maintained, time is not forgiving. Franz, in his sixtieth year, can no longer find the high spirits of his youth.

"Maybe it's time to retire."

Franz thought to himself.

It's not good to be old, this is not the age of mythology, the only trace of the extraordinary in the whole world is yourself, an unscientific traveler.

Even if you want to imitate the ancient empire and pursue the dream of immortality unrealistically, there is no goal to find!

Once people are "tired" and "tired", they want to rest, and Franz is no exception.

In recent years, he has been strengthening the training of his sons in preparation for this day.

It's just that Franz can't retreat now. The territory of the Holy Roman Empire is really too big, and there are also many problems accompanying it.

Some problems can be left to future generations, but there are also some problems that must be dealt with by him, a powerful emperor. Otherwise, it will become a chronic disease in future generations.

But before that, the last stumbling block in front of the Holy Roman Empire still had to be kicked off.

Before stabilizing the world situation and kicking out the unstable factors, Franz did not dare to make major internal changes easily. Always being in awe is also an important factor for him to be able to get to the present.

After making up his mind, Franz felt a lot easier.
