Chapter 1044 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 European world to fight and kill.
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 fifteen 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 if it became the overlord, the Holy Roman Empire pulled down
The hatred value 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 relatively low. Otherwise, the position of the most populous country in Europe will change hands.
Since the 1970s, 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 weren't for the large population consumed in the war, the Russian Empire would have quickly become the most 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!
