Chapter 926： A jaw-dropping strategy (1/2)

At the Vienna Palace, after receiving the news of the outbreak of refugees, Franz was all overwhelmed.

There is no way, this news is really amazing. It is important to know that Belgium and the Rhineland are both European hearts, but they are not insignificant backcountry.

It is conceivable that once this news spreads, all diplomatic efforts previously made by the French government will go to great lengths. The British, including their allies, will also look first at the Paris government.

After playing with politics for many years, Franz's heart has been very strong, and soon recovered.

”Are you sure? The refugee wave is really because the French are expelling local residents, not because of the war.”

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

Don’t look at this war because the French wanted to seize territory west of the Rhine. In fact, the French government never admitted to annexing these areas.

Expansion on the European continent this year will not only provoke public opinion, diplomatic hostility, but also a taboo in politics.

The foundation of jurisprudence is Kaner, which cannot be avoided. Destruction of this thing is equivalent to shaking the European political system. Breaking the rules will inevitably be backlashed by the rules.

The reason for the French to start this war is the disappearance of soldiers. Similar war excuses, it is really not too much on the European continent. A war can break out for a jar of honey, not to mention the missing soldiers?

Without publicly revealing ambition, it is a quiet job. Everyone can be confused and understand, and all countries are happy to see the two countries fighting.

Many politicians are operating in secret, and after the French and Austrian sides lose both sides, they jump out to pick peaches and restore the European balance system.

The situation is different for the French. Especially for small countries, the lid is opened. If you don’t do anything, the big countries will follow the example, how can they still live?

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

Prime Minister Carl replied in a somber face: ”The news has been verified. The French have carried out devastating plunders against the people in the occupied area, robbed the locals of food, burned their houses and forced the locals to leave.

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

According to intelligence from the inside, there was a problem with the logistics of the French army, and it was unable to supply the frontline troops for consumption. The cause was that the coalition forces destroyed local roads and bridges before evacuating, and also burned the granaries and supplies.

If the war continues, the French government must not only support the frontline troops, but also solve the problem of eating for tens of millions of people on the ground, which is far beyond the capabilities of the French.

Then someone proposed a plan to expel the locals. With the exception of a few surrendered French traitors, almost all the people are within the scope of expulsion.

If there is no accident, then we may receive nearly ten million refugees, far exceeding the government's previous plan. ”

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

How to solve the problem of eating without expelling 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 feed it. Otherwise, these people would rebel.

Food is only a short-term problem, and the troubles are even greater. Looking at the Italian region, we know that after so many years, the local area has not completely settled down.

It is so difficult for Italians to assimilate, and it is even more difficult for Germans who want to assimilate the sturdy people.

The former has no country now, and all the problems are internal; the latter is different. Even if France won the war, it is impossible to kill Austria.

Since it is impossible to digest, leaving these people is no longer a wealth, but a heavy burden.

In terms of short-term demand and long-term strategy, these locals are a potential threat to France.

Rather than leaving these hidden dangers, it is better to expel them and add trouble to the enemy.

Facts have proved that the French have succeeded in this operation. A lot of preparations were made, and Austria was not prepared to meet so many refugees.

Making trouble is easier than solving trouble. The French army does not need to pay attention to civilian losses. It is simple and rough to expel locals. One month is enough.

In contrast, the situation for Austria to resettle these people is quite different.

Mo said one month, even within a year, it is not an easy task to place so many people.

The Vienna government has rich experience in immigration and resettlement, but it does not have the capacity 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 Sea, which increases the difficulty of placement.
