Chapter 1045 Extraordinary 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, and a gust of biting 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.

With so many nobles gathered, it is impossible to keep secrets. Rather than a secret meeting in secret, it is better to hold a banquet with great fanfare.

The European aristocratic circle was originally: "cutting constantly, and reasoning is still chaotic".

After the end of the European War, the Anti-French Coalition did not carry out an in-depth liquidation of these people. It was not that the governments of various countries did not want to, but simply refused to do so.

There is nothing to say about life and death on the battlefield. After the war, we are still a family. Seven aunts and eight aunts can always climb up to relatives.

Since they are all from our own family, we can only follow the tradition. After all, the tradition is to protect the interests of the entire aristocratic group, and there is no need to overthrow it as a vested interest.

Now these guys just violated the curfew and illegal gatherings stipulated by the Russians. It is a felony for ordinary people, but it is nothing for nobles.

If people were really arrested for illegal gatherings, the European world would probably be bombarded tomorrow. Although Mao Xiong is not afraid of criticism from European public opinion, they still want aid from European countries.

Unless it is proved that these guys are conspiring to rebel, otherwise the Russians really can't do anything to them.

Stepping into the banquet hall, Brea frowned even tighter. It was said to be a banquet, but there was no banquet atmosphere at the scene.

The people who came earlier gathered together in twos and threes, chatting about the situation, and some people sighed from time to time, as if they were desperate for the current situation.

While Breya was in a daze, a middle-aged man not far away suddenly beckoned, "Breya, come quickly."

Walking over quickly, Breya pretended to be puzzled and asked: "Leites, what were you talking about just now, it seems very lively?"

Leitusi replied helplessly: "Aside from the current situation, what else can we care about so much?

Recently, the Russians have gone too far. If this continues, the Paris area will soon be destroyed by them.

According to the news from the pier, in the past week, the Russians have continuously shipped the captured prisoners of war away.

Although I don't know where it was sent, it is definitely not a good thing for France. We have lost a lot of young men in the European war, and now the Russians..."

Don't worry, with the end of the European war, everyone has realized the importance of population.

It's just that this realization came too late. Population does not mean that growth can increase, especially the lack of young and strong labor force is fatal.

Before France could breathe a sigh of relief, the Russians started acting like demons again. Based on the information you have, you know that in the past six months, the total population of France has dropped by at least two million.

Death to death, exile in exile, and running away, the whole of France fell into unprecedented chaos.

Of course, it's not completely useless, and their rivals who competed for ruling power were almost harmed by the Russians.

The capitalists, businessmen, intellectuals, and middle class who had caused them headaches in the past chose to run away because they could not withstand the scourge of the Russian army.

All businesses in Paris are dying now, and the shops that dare to continue to open are all foreign businessmen. The local businessmen have long been afraid of being looted by the Russian army.

If it weren't for the family business being tied to France, it is estimated that these nobles would also run away. Although the Russian army will not do anything to them on the surface, it is impossible to tell secretly.

There are not a few nobles who died suddenly unexpectedly recently. The deceased all have a common characteristic, that they have shown anti-Russian tendencies in public. Such a big suspicion, if it is said that the Russians are okay, no one will believe it.

Doubt is suspicion, there is no direct evidence to prove that the Russians did it, and everyone can't even warn the international community.

Compared with the pessimistic crowd, Brea is still a little more optimistic. Consolation: "The situation is not that bad, apart from these bad news, there is also good news.

The Spaniards have already reduced their garrison by half. If the chaos in Morocco cannot be settled in the short term, it is estimated that they will continue to withdraw troops.

Judging from the current situation, the alliance is not prepared to increase its troops to make up for the gap left by the Spaniards. It seems that the southern region can breathe a sigh of relief first. "

The anti-French alliance stationed troops in France, and the military expenses were borne by the French. Although the Paris government went on strike, some Russians began to collect taxes themselves, and other countries will naturally follow suit.

It's just that compared to the straightforward nature of the Russians, everyone still knows how to take a detour. Usually, local people are appointed as tax officials, unless someone violently resists the tax, otherwise the army is rarely dispatched.

Lettus waved his hand and said, "Let's say it's good news, but these problems are not something we can worry about for the time being.

Have you noticed that among the people who came to the banquet, there were a few strange faces? "

The aristocratic circle was not big in the first place, and it was difficult not to attract everyone's attention when a few strangers were added suddenly. After being reminded by Leitusi, everyone glanced at the audience for an instant, and finally fixed their eyes on a small corner.

It's just that considering the purpose of this banquet, everyone who reacted tacitly chose not to see it.

Anti-Russia also requires skills. It doesn’t matter if you do it secretly. On the surface, you must not leave any clues to the Russians.

Since the people who attended this gathering were not nobles, they could only be members of the resistance organization.

Don't say that they don't know each other, even if they are brothers, now that they hide their identities, they can only pretend that they don't know each other.

The forest is big and there are all kinds of birds. It is quite normal that there are a few traitors who have defected to the Russians among the nobles.

In order to avoid being caught by the Russians, when discussing countermeasures, everyone always dictates and never leaves any paper documents.

There is only one explanation for the members of the resistance organization to appear here majestically, and that is that the patience of the big shots with the Russian army has reached its limit.
