Chapter 884 South or East?

With the rising voices of hostility between the two countries in public opinion, massive demonstrations and demonstrations broke out among the people.

From Paris to Rome, demonstrations broke out in any French city with a population of more than 50,000.

All kinds of messy slogans are endless, anti-coal profiteering, anti-unemployment, demand for higher wages, demand for the government to further liberalize the right to vote... and so on, whether related or unrelated social groups have jumped out.

For a time, the voices of the French people were heard all over Europe. It's just that this kind of voice is a little messy and a little confusing.

In the Palace of Versailles, Napoleon IV was angry when he heard the heart-piercing shouts of the people outside.

public opinion?

There is no Internet these days. If there is no manipulation, the news will not be spread all over the country in three to five months, let alone demonstrations in major cities across the country.

"The police department will check it for me to see who is behind it!"

No emperor wants to be at the mercy of others, and Napoleon IV was no exception. Even if the China-Europe strategy is to be implemented, it will be carried out under his leadership, rather than being driven to the shelves.

The Minister of Police, Adonis, replied nervously: "Your Majesty, there are a lot of participants this time, including capitalists, students, nobles, military, government officials and other groups.

According to the information held by the police department, the domestic business community was the first to take action, and then it spread rapidly. "

The police department does not know who is the ultimate mastermind behind the scenes, and this kind of clear information can still be found.

Adonis's political mind is still very bright. Since the outbreak of public opinion, he has begun to think about countermeasures, and now it is naturally at hand.

The law does not blame the public, which is the biggest feature of France. Even Napoleon IV, a participant in the last revolution, had no way to liquidate it all, let alone now.

Knowing that the business community did it is useless, there is no way to pinpoint the original culprit, and Napoleon IV couldn't find anyone who wanted to settle accounts.

With a violent slap on the table, Napoleon IV said viciously: "Damn consortium, don't think that you can get away with this."

Since the industrial and commercial industry is dominant, it is natural for the consortium to exert its efforts. There is nothing wrong with putting this account on the consortium.

In fact, the relationship between the Bonaparte family and the French consortium has not been very good, and there have been many conflicts between the two sides because of interests.

Especially during the Paris Revolution, the consortium's push and robbery aggravated the contradiction between the two sides.

Don't look at Napoleon IV's compromise, but the resentment in his heart has accumulated. In order to curb the growth of the consortium, Napoleon IV made great efforts.

From a developmental point of view, this is an inevitable result. The power of the consortium continues to expand, and the French pie has not grown bigger. The expansion of emerging forces will inevitably collide with vested interest groups.

The Bonaparte family was successfully restored with the support of the peasant class and the aristocracy, and Napoleon IV must represent the interests of these two classes.

The French consortium has strong financial resources and great influence, but its politics and military are weak. In the face of the nobles who control political power, they are obviously not opponents.

If you want to continue to grow, you can only find a way to make a big cake.

Promoting the China-EU strategy is the best way, which not only solves the shortcomings of domestic industrial and commercial development, but also promotes the development of the capitalist economy and further strengthens the power of the consortium.

Foreign Secretary Karel Cadlets reminded: "Your Majesty, we can take our time to track down who's behind the scenes.

Recently, European countries have been constantly asking us about the China-EU strategy, and the uproar of the domestic people has aroused the vigilance of all parties.

Just last week, the Belgian government decided to add another reserve corps, and once the plan is complete, Belgium's total strength will reach 154,000.

The German Confederation also held a state conference, and George I proposed to follow the example of Austria to implement a national reserve system and train another 1.5 million reserve troops.

And while the existing main force remains unchanged, the standing army will increase by 300,000 reserve troops. Now they are busy discussing the distribution of troops in each state.

If the Germans' plans were to be fulfilled, their actual standing army would be over half a million. Under extreme mobilization, the combined strength of the two countries will exceed two million. "

There is no doubt that the two countries are frightened by the internal changes in France, and they are doing their best to expand their armaments.

If the two countries can complete the plan and arm all the young people in the country, it remains to be discussed whether France's China-Europe strategy can still be implemented.

"Aren't they afraid of being sanctioned by the international community when they openly want to tear up the arms agreement?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Napoleon IV meant that he had made a slip of the tongue. Seeing that the war is about to break out, who would think so much.

Given the habit of European countries to be wary of France, most of them will turn a blind eye to the military expansion of Germany and even be happy to see it succeed.

This dazzling behavior of pulling the side frame is very unfriendly to France.

After a pause, Napoleon IV said slowly: "The Ministry of Foreign Affairs must find a way to sabotage the military expansion of the two countries, and can make security guarantees when necessary."

Regardless of whether or not to implement the China-Europe strategy, the French government must interrupt the military expansion plans of the two countries, otherwise it will not be France that threatens others, but will be threatened by others.

There is no way, who makes their enemies more! In case someday Austria

What if Li persuaded the two countries to besiege France with Switzerland and Spain?

Don't say it's impossible, the anti-French war has happened in history. It is also possible now. After all, these surrounding countries have been hanged and beaten by them, and the basis for conflicts of interest and hatred is there.

Karel Kadlec replied with a wry smile: "The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has taken action, but the two countries simply do not trust us.

Besides, there are still Austrians who are making troubles. Yesterday morning, Franz sent an open letter to the two governments of Bieder and Germany, highly praising the efforts of the two governments to maintain stability in Europe. "

Franz has always been the best at messing things up. Instigating the expansion of the military between Germany and Germany is beneficial to Austria and not harmful at all.

Once the European Continental War broke out, the two countries that would bear the brunt of the Germans were Austria's natural meat shields, and whether they wanted to or not, they blocked the French on their way eastward.

If the continental war did not break out now, Austria would have gained time to continue farming. Anyway, Austria's current plate is big enough. Once the Near East region is developed, it can directly crush the enemy by relying on its comprehensive national strength.

Minister of the Army Luskinia Hafez: "If we can't get rid of the idea of ​​military expansion between the two countries, we can only start the China-EU strategy ahead of schedule.

Otherwise, if they really let them use military force to complete the military expansion plan, we will lose the first opportunity, and it will be difficult to implement the China-EU strategy. "

Prime Minister Terence Burkin shook his head: "The crux of the problem is not with the two countries, and their military expansion plans only sound great, but in fact they are impossible to complete.

Belgium's military expansion plan can theoretically be realized, but can they raise so many troops?

Not to mention the German Confederation, there are so many small states, but not all states have conflicts of interest with us.

If a war really broke out, it would be a big problem just to coordinate the armies of various countries.

You must know that for the rulers of the state, the central government of Hanover is also an enemy, and no one is willing to hand over the army easily.

The real trouble is Austria. Once we implement the China-EU strategy, the possibility of Austria's involvement is as high as 90%.

Judging from the current international situation, I think that in order to implement the China-EU strategy, Austria must be hit hard so that they are powerless to interfere in our actions. "

The French invaded Belgium and Germany, and Austria was almost certain to enter the war; but when a war broke out between France and Austria, Germany and Germany were likely to be neutral.

Don't be short-sighted. Once you help Austria defeat the French, the unification of the German region will become a foregone conclusion, and the emperor George I will be embarrassed.

This kind of detrimental thing, George I can't do it. The central government is in the lead, and the small states below are also happy. Pro-Austria is just because of interests, which does not mean that they have to work for Austria.

Without the German Confederation, Belgium would be even less likely to participate. Even if there is a secret contract, the Belgian kingdom is limited in strength and cannot be mixed at all.

Minister of the Army Luskinia Hafez vetoed: "Your Excellency Prime Minister, this is the most ideal state, and in fact it is not feasible.

Our relationship with Austria can be maintained for so many years, not because the two countries have friendly relations, nor because the conflict of interests is small, and the key point is that no one can do anything about it.

This is determined by geographical location, the Albis Mountains are the natural boundary line. Even if we were able to beat the Austrians, we would end up in Venice.

Austria is not a small country, and the loss of Lombardy and Venice has little impact on them.

It is impossible for the Vienna government to concede defeat, and then we will face a steady stream of Austrian troops, one million, two million, three million will continue to be consumed with us.

If it is only one Austria, we still have the confidence to win the final victory.

The problem is that there are other countries on the European continent, such as Spain, the German Confederation, Belgium, Switzerland and other countries. The key is to always fall to Austria.

Especially Britain and Russia, don't look at them fighting fiercely. However, the terrain in Afghanistan limited their performance, and it was impossible to talk about doing their best.

Unless we can guarantee that Britain and Russia will lose both in Afghanistan, and delay the war until the two countries are severely damaged, it is possible to avoid interference from Britain and Russia. "

The classic case of the Russian-Prussian War has made the European world understand that it is not easy to go to war with a big country, especially one with a large number of people.

In the absence of a quick solution, a war between two great powers would be a suicidal war. Of course, the loser will lose everything, but the winner will also suffer heavy losses.

From a purely military point of view, if France and Austria go to war, it is best to fight in Central Europe, and the winner will be killed all the way through Belgium.

If the war is fought in the Italian region, it will be a partial victory at most. Both sides are protected by the Albis Mountains and cannot enter the core territory of the two countries.

Facing the expectant gaze of Napoleon IV, Karel Kadlec shook his head: "If a war breaks out with Austria, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs still has some certainty to keep European countries neutral before the outcome is decided.

Once we have the upper hand on the battlefield, European countries will inevitably step in and the Metropolis will be on our opposite side.

Even our allies, the British, are no exception. For the British government, anything that upsets the continental balance is not allowed. "

There is no way, the French Empire in history is too powerful, so powerful that it has no friends.

European countries have always been extremely vigilant against the Bonaparte dynasty, including Napoleon

Even after the Paris Revolution, France's heavy losses did not change everyone's perception.
