Chapter 243： Refugee crisis breaks out (1/2)

No one paid attention to the battle between the British and the Principality of Montenegro. The difference in strength between the two sides was too big. It could not be made up with blood. The victory or defeat was decided from the beginning.

Even Franz is not optimistic about the Principality of Montenegro. Their foundation is too thin and they cannot afford to consume it at all. Even if they repelled the British-Saharan attack, they were losers.

This is the sorrow of a small country. The population is so small. Regardless of the combat effectiveness, war is always dead. The Principality of Montenegro cannot afford to die.

Now that the Near East War has hit, the Balkan peninsula has lost more than one million people, and may even exceed two or three million, especially the loss of young people is particularly severe.

The Ottomans were fighting the strong men, and the bears were not polite. Including the ongoing Constantinople offensive and defensive battles, the Russians captured a lot of young people and sent them to the front line as cannon fodder.

Gray animals are no longer valuable, they are also the Tsar's soldiers and belong to their own, how can they be more valuable than these cannon fodder.

Constantinople's offensive and defensive battles cost thousands of people every day.

With cannon fodder, Menshekov would not be under pressure. He died, and the Austrian government was very cooperative.

Until the Austrian nationality is obtained, the Austrian government has no obligation to protect their security, and the two principalities of the Danube River have been scourged by the Russians in recent times.

Those who resisted learning German in the first place are too late to cry one by one. There is no way, language assessment is not enough, political ideological review is not enough, and nationality cannot be obtained.

The two Principalities of the Danube are now nominally a part of the Ottoman Empire, and the Austrians are only temporarily occupied and have no obligation to protect their security.

Franz can only express regret for the brutality of the Russian army. Protest to go to St. Petersburg. The Russian army does not control him. He cannot help the current situation.

It's not much to arrest Zhuang Ding. Anyone who knows the Russians knows that most gray animals are not armed, and the only income is to grab the battlefield.

According to the news from the front line, at least half of the local people have been robbed by the Russian army. Except for the safer areas where the Austrian army is stationed, the Russians have been allowed to plunder.

Because of the westward strategy, Austria pulled back a large number of troops. Naturally, all areas were not taken into account. Only Austrian soldiers were stationed in areas with good Austrianization conditions, which provided opportunities for the Russians.

Franz dared to guarantee that Austria had never colluded with the Russians on this issue, and that these atrocities were spontaneously organized by Russian soldiers.

Everyone cooperated very happily. The Russians had finished the robbery and needed to sell the stolen goods. The safe area controlled by Austria was the best place to trade.

Almost every Russian border crossing is a mess. Good luck is just being robbed, and bad luck is ruining the home.

The world is so cruel, and when the news is passed to Franz's hands, it all happens, and it's done. How many people died locally is completely unknown and can only be counted slowly after the war.

Not only are the Russians and Ottomans scourge the Balkans, the British, French, and Sardinian coalition forces are not good. In order to improve meals, everyone is self-handed.

Suffered by so many army turns, the rich have long gone, including the nobles of the Ottoman Empire.

These are smart people, knowing that it is not reasonable to explain to the big soldiers. In a time of wild wars, human lives were the least valuable.

Those who can run are gone, and the rest are a bunch of poor ghosts. Either the bottom of the free people, or the serfs, there is nowhere to go.

Marshal Radsky said frowningly: ”His Majesty, an emergency telegram was sent from the front, and Serbia was hit by refugees and suppressed by the army.

The atmosphere is very tense now, and I am afraid that chaos will occur again soon. The new ninth division stationed on the front line requested domestic support. ”

There is no way. In any war, you will inevitably produce a large number of refugees. You lost your livelihood because of the war. Everyone has no choice but to go out to discuss their lives.

Franz asked with concern: ”How many refugees gather at the border?”

Marshal Radsky replied after thinking about it: ”At least there are hundreds of thousands, maybe millions. The scene is too chaotic to make effective statistics.

We also accepted tens of thousands of refugees in the early stage. Later, because there were too many people, we feared that it would affect local order. The General Staff ordered the interception.

This is the dereliction of duty of our General Staff. Some time ago, we were all busy with the westward strategy and ignored the concern on the refugee issue.

Now that there are more and more refugees on the borders we control, the frontline forces are really overwhelming, and we only noticed that we called for help by generating electricity. ”

Because of the war, the two principalities of Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and the Danube are all under military control. In addition, the Austrian government has not obtained the sovereignty of these regions, so there is no local government.

Since it is military control, these problems naturally fall to the head of the General Staff. As a result, it is clear that one cannot expect a group of officers to be capable of governing the locality, to maintain local stability, and rely on force.

The Austrian General Staff, including Marshal Radsky, ignored the refugee issue and did not report to Franz at all. It wasn't until this time that things broke out that they caught their attention.

Frankly speaking, the General Staff did nothing wrong. If so many refugees were let go, it would be a tragedy on earth.

The order that Austria has managed to establish on the ground is likely to collapse soon.

If we can say that social order can be maintained by increasing the number of troops, then there is really no way to solve the problem of eating.

In this era, hundreds of thousands or even millions of people have to solve the problem of eating without preparing in advance. Where can Franz raise so many supplies in the short term?

Not that there are no supplies, but that it is too late to mobilize so many supplies in the past. You know, the Austrian government has mobilized a lot of food in the past in order to relieve the refugees.

However, these foods are just barely enough to relieve local refugees in the Austrian occupation. Faced with the increase in foreign refugees, there is really nothing they can do.

Franz asked in confusion: ”No, with so many refugees, it should have been a shock to our blockade. Why did this problem occur after so many people gathered?”

Marshal Radsky replied: ”His Majesty, most of these refugees are old and weak women and children, lack of youth, so when they first encountered the army to intercept, many people chose to retreat.

Now a batch of soldiers have been added to the refugees, and some people have taken the lead in it before they begin to impact our blockade. ”

Franz nodded, and with the end of the second Bulgarian war, a large number of soldiers broke out on the Balkans. These soldiers also caused disasters and created a large number of refugees.
