Chapter 953： "Report to the French National" (2/2)

If you have no money, you can only reach out to your allies. And this is not a loan. The Tsarist government will not recognize these military expenditures, and at most they will be recorded in the French accounts.

This is exactly where Franz struggled. According to the current rhythm, the French will definitely be burdened with huge indemnities after the war. No amount of war reparations can be obtained without getting it.

Today is different. If the time is pushed forward by a month or two, Franz will naturally not mind spending a sum of money to pull the Russians into the water. But now it's different. The French are gone, and it's unknown whether they can support the Russian army to the front line.

If the Russian army is still on the way, or if it happens to arrive at the front line at the end of the war, Austria will lose out, and it will give up a lot of money without saying it, and it will increase the Russians’ voice in post-war negotiations. .

Want to refuse, Franz is also embarrassed. Regardless of the great momentum of the anti-French alliance, in fact, 99% of the military expenditure of the anti-French alliance is borne by the Austrian family.

Including Spain and Switzerland, which participated in the war last time, they all fought with Austrian money, otherwise they would not have such a high efficiency.

The Russians now want the same treatment that other allies have. Even for the friendship between Russia and Austria, Austria cannot treat it differently.

”The Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs will hold on first. If it really can't go on, then promise them.

However, to set up preconditions, troops must be dispatched immediately, and the Russian troops will arrive in Austria within three days after the agreement is reached, and we will send special trains to the front lines.

Order the troops on the front line to speed up and strive for a quick battle. At this point, it's time to settle down. ”

There is no better way, Franz can only offer procrastination. If you can kill France before the Russians send out troops, then post-war negotiations will be the Tsarist government.

Without making a substantial contribution, being able to follow up with a sum of compensation is enough to prove that Austria has enough friends and the right to share the word does not exist.

If you can't, then you can only retreat and use the Russian army as cannon fodder to reduce your own casualties and make up for the loss of interest.

Prime Minister Carl: ”Your Majesty, since the war is underway, everyone knows that France is over. The French government has also shown us its intentions for peace talks through the British, and it is time to engage in political persuasion.

If the war can be ended by political means and the Russians want to intervene in European affairs, it will be impossible. ”

After a big circle, the problem returned to the European hegemony. The discourse power of France after the war was also the establishment of Austrian European hegemony.

The Russians are anxious to get involved. In addition to fighting for the spoils, they are also fighting for the right to speak in the European continent.

Austria’s hegemony cannot be shaken, and a share of the pie is also a good choice. The tsarist government does not want to completely abandon the European continent.

After hesitating for a while, Franz shook his head firmly: ”This time the British cannot intervene, and even post-war negotiations cannot allow them to participate. We only accept the unconditional surrender of the French.

This is a matter of principle. After finally squeezing the British out of the European continent, they could not be allowed back.

The question of persuading France to be surrendered is simple. This is the ”Letter to the People of France” that I prepared, and just publish it.

The news was secretly released to let the French gang of profit-seeking capitalists know that if they did not surrender, the coalition forces would confiscate all their property after entering Paris. ”

In Franz's view, besides defeating the French, the second major strategic significance of this European War was to squeeze out the British influence in Europe.

Looking around Europe, they are all spheres of influence of anti-French alliances, but the British are still allies of the French, and Austria is justifiably requesting that allies be separated from the British.

Including neutral countries is no exception. One of the conditions for making them neutral is: politically cut off from the British.

Rejection is impossible. The British offend too many people. On this issue, the Russians raised their hands in favor. In addition, everyone was dissatisfied with John Bull's previous behavior of selling his younger brother, and then they agreed.

Although this cut was not thorough, cracks still occurred. As long as Austria continues its efforts, it is not a dream to exclude the British from the European continent.

In this context, Franz naturally cannot let the British come out to brush up on their presence.

After receiving the ”Report to the French Citizens”, I scanned it briefly, and Prime Minister Karl hesitated and asked: ”Your Majesty, is the content on this a bit too exaggerated?”

Exaggeration, this is inevitable. There is always someone responsible for the failure of the war. This person cannot be the emperor. Similarly, the monarchy country Franz could not send Napoleon IV to the guillotine.

Nobles are not good either. Nobles are one of the pillars of imperial power.

In addition to the nobles and emperors, there are not many who are qualified to carry the pot. So the **** can only be deducted from the capitalists. Anyway, this is not wrong. The bourgeoisie is indeed one of the driving forces behind this war.

No snowflake is innocent under the avalanche. If it really goes back to the source, then from Napoleon IV to ordinary French people, they will all be responsible for this war.

What Franz is doing now is just helping them find a scapegoat. By the way, the scapegoat was exaggerated and the responsibility of other groups was weakened.

”It doesn't matter. Anyway, the contents above are all true. They all stand up to the test. I just used a magnifying glass to magnify some of the people's problems.

Next, as long as we do a good job of guiding and reminding us at the appropriate time, someone will do the rest for us. ”

Conspiracy to provoke war, hoard, drive up prices, resell strategic materials...

These are all real, a properly black history of the bourgeoisie. Politicians may be able to understand that if these things are not done without the cooperation of the light capitalists, ordinary people will not think so much and will directly charge this account to the bourgeois consortium.

You know, you know, but you don't have to count on who will stand up for the capitalist. When the disaster is approaching and they are flying, and it is too late to throw the pot, who will take the initiative to take responsibility for themselves?

If nothing goes wrong, the bureaucrats, nobles, and even Napoleon IV himself in the French government will follow the tide and pass the responsibilities to the domestic bourgeois consortium.

The French consortium is not weak and will certainly not sit still. Once the danger is realized, action is bound to be taken.

This is a conspiracy, even if all parties know it, they can only bite the bullet and go on. Especially for Napoleon IV and the high-level government, with such a backer, they have the opportunity to retreat.

The final victory is not important anymore, now France can't stand the toss, the result of internal fighting must be an early collapse.
