Chapter 926 Eye-Popping Strategy

After receiving the news of the outbreak of the refugee wave at the Vienna Palace, Franz was stunned.

No way, this news is really amazing. Know that Belgium and the Rhineland are both European heartlands, not insignificant backcountry.

It is conceivable that once the news spreads, all the diplomatic efforts made by the French government will be in vain. Including their allies, the British, will also take a different look at the Paris government.

After playing politics for many years, Franz's heart has become very strong, and he recovered quickly.

"Is the news sure? The refugee wave is really caused by the French expelling the local residents, not because of the war."

The generation of refugees by war and the expulsion of local people are two completely different concepts. The latter is inevitable, while the former shows France's ambitions.

Don't look at this war as the French want to seize territory west of the Rhine, in fact the French government has never admitted to annexing these areas.

Expanding on the European continent this year will not only trigger public ridicule, diplomatic hostility, but also a political taboo.

The legal basis is the hurdle that cannot be avoided. Destroying this thing is equivalent to shaking the European political system. Breaking the rules is bound to be countered by the rules.

The reason why the French started this war was the disappearance of their soldiers, and similar pretexts of war are not too many on the European continent. A war can break out over a jar of honey, not to mention the disappearance of soldiers?

They did not show their ambitions openly, they were doing it quietly, and everyone could pretend to be confused, and all countries would be happy to see Austria and Austria fighting each other.

Many politicians are working in secret, waiting for Faao to lose both, then jump out to pick peaches and restore the European-continental balance system.

When the French do this, the situation is different. Especially for small countries, the lid has been lifted. If they don't do something, the big countries will follow suit. How can they live?

Of course, these are all theoretical. In a sense, politics is a bitch. In this era of the weak and the strong, as long as the strength is strong, all problems are not problems.

Prime Minister Carl replied with a gloomy face: "The news has been verified, the French army has carried out devastating plunder of the people in the occupied areas, robbed the local people of their food, burned their houses, and forced the local people to leave.

In addition, the French army also blocked the ports in Belgium and the roads to Switzerland and the Netherlands. It seems that they are preparing to expel all the refugees.

According to the information from the inside, the French army had a logistical problem and was unable to supply the consumption of the front-line army. The reason is that the coalition forces destroyed local roads and bridges, and also burned granaries and supplies before the withdrawal.

If the war continues, the French government will not only have to support the troops on the front line, but also to feed tens of millions of local people, which is far beyond the capabilities of the French.

Then, someone came up with a plan to evict the locals. Except for a few traitors who had turned to the French, almost all the people were within the scope of expulsion.

If nothing else, we may take in nearly 10 million refugees next, far exceeding the government's previous plans. "

After listening to this explanation, Franz had to believe it. This is no longer a question of whether the French want to do it, but must do it.

How to solve the problem of eating without expelling the locals?

There are tens of millions of people in the local area. Once the private grain storage is exhausted, the French government will find a way to keep it. Otherwise, if you are hungry, these people will rebel.

Food is only a short-term problem, and the trouble will be bigger later. If you look at the Italian region, you will know that after so many years, the local area has not completely settled down.

It is so difficult to assimilate the Italians, and it is even more difficult to assimilate the Germans with their sturdy folk customs.

The former has no state now, and all the problems are internal; the latter is different, even if France wins this war, it is impossible to kill Austria.

Since it cannot be digested, leaving these people is no longer a wealth, but a heavy burden.

These locals are a potential threat to France, both in terms of short-term needs and long-term strategy.

Rather than leaving these hidden dangers behind, it is better to drive them out and cause trouble for the enemy.

Facts have proved that the French this operation was a success. A lot of preparations have been made around it, and Austria is not ready to welcome so many refugees.

It's easier to create trouble than to solve it. The French army did not need to pay attention to the loss of civilians, and simply and rudely expelled the locals. One month was enough.

By contrast, the situation in Austria to house these people is quite different.

Not to mention a month, even within a year, it is not an easy task to accommodate so many people.

The Vienna government has rich experience in resettlement, but it does not have the ability to resettle nearly 10 million people in a short period of time.

In particular, the current sea route is blocked, and Austrian ships can only operate in the Eastern Mediterranean, which increases the difficulty of resettlement.

It is certain that, affected by the refugee tide, the anti-French alliance will lose its initiative in the Central European battlefield for a long time to come.

"This is the end of the matter, let's do the refugee resettlement work first! Since the French have made a move, we have to continue.

The refugees are not all old and weak, women and children, and some young people are arranged to maintain roads and reduce the number of domestic workers.

From Central Europe to Africa, there are tens of thousands of kilometers of railways and highways, which should be able to accommodate many people. No matter what, the refugees must be given a job, and they must not be left idle.

these refugees and

Our cultural traditions are similar, so it shouldn't be difficult to integrate them. How many people can stay after the war depends on everyone's ability.

As long as we can keep one-fifth of it, our current investment will not be lost.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs should also act to expose the atrocities of the French to the world and call on European countries to boycott them together. "

The resettlement countermeasures are very simple, that is, it hurts money a little. But compared to the side benefits, Franz is still willing to take the blame.

Of course, this is based on the premise that there is no shortage of food in Austria. No matter how many refugees there are, there is no need to worry about eating, otherwise this piece of meat will be poisoned.

Foreign Minister Wesenberg: "Your Majesty, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has already taken action, but the results may not be too optimistic.

What the French do will certainly arouse hostility from European countries, but it also affects us. Judging from the current situation, it is possible to annex Germany and Belgium, not only France, but also us.

The French have created opportunities, and the post-war Rhineland and Belgium have few people at all, and can even be said to be a land of no man.

As long as we win this war, there is enough reason to annex the aforementioned areas. For historical reasons, it is much less difficult for us to annex these regions than for the French.

It is estimated that at this time, the vigilance of European countries towards us has also risen to a new height.

In this context, most of the sanctions adopted by European countries against the French are thunder and rain. The French should have figured this out before taking action. "

Explanation is impossible. In a sense, explanation is a cover-up. No matter how the Vienna government explains it, no one will believe it.

Moreover, the annexation of the German region was already within the scope of the plan. In order to complete this plan, the Vienna government has made efforts for decades.

If anyone dares to give up, the spittle stars of the people can bury people.

As for Belgium, it is indeed not within the plans of the Vienna government, and Franz has no interest in Belgium.

However, a sole commitment not to annex Belgium may not only be ineffective, but will expose the plan to annex Germany.

Although the plan is almost universally known, speaking out and doing it quietly are two entirely different concepts. Many things in politics can only be done, not said.

In this context, all the Austrian government can do is pretend not to know. It can neither be admitted nor denied, and the outside world is left to make up their own minds.

The company's international image is not good, so it will bring its competitors to the same level as its own. Faced with such a helpless trick, Franz could only sigh.

"Do your best, anyway, the key to deciding the outcome of this war is still on the battlefield.

As long as Britain and Russia do not participate in the war, even if other countries want to intervene in this war, they are more than willing to do so.

Since the influx of refugees has delayed our decisive battle, the next stage of the battle plan, the European battlefield will be delayed first, and the focus of the counter-offensive will be on the African continent.

The era of staking on the African continent is long over, and now there is an opportunity to redistribute benefits, and this opportunity must not be missed. "

I don't know since when, the world has become popular in the way of reasoning about given facts. For the foreign powers, as long as the established facts are established, they can basically eat the meat.

With the capture of French Africa, the fall of France was a foregone conclusion. Even Napoleon's rebirth would be powerless.

Prime Minister Carl reminded: "Your Majesty, the sudden strategic focus is probably not good!"

A national strategy affects the whole body. Once it is formulated, it is almost impossible to make a drastic strategic adjustment.

In particular, this unconventional strategy of first Africa and then Europe is simply to refresh the three views of the European world.
