Chapter 1052： French crisis (1/2)
The world is always full of coincidences. Nicholas II, who was still hesitating to start the Siberian Railway, made a decisive decision to repair after learning of the changes on the front line.
Obviously, after the front-line troops had problems with the logistics, instead of looking for him, the czar, they asked for help from the Allied Command controlled by Shinra, which deeply stimulated Nicholas II.
In order to get rid of the influence of Shinra, Nicholas II has no longer taken care of the true purpose of the Americans.
The railway will not run away. As long as the Siberian Railway is built, no matter what the Americans have, the initiative is in the hands of the Tsarist government.
Any ”conspiracy” is not worth mentioning in the face of absolute strength. Except for Britain and Austria, there is no third country in the world that can be feared by the tsarist government.
The Siberian Railway was launched, and the Vienna government had not yet responded, and Carlos, who was in exile, could not sit still.
There is no way, the Russians have done too much. In order to save people's resources and win people's hearts, Nicholas II decided to recruit all the labor required by the Siberian Railway from France.
Anyone with a little brain knows what the **** is Siberia.
With Mao Xiong's consistent style, you don't need to think about it, but the logistics of labor is definitely not guaranteed. If French laborers really went to Siberia to build railways, they would definitely die.
Since the outbreak of the European War, the young and strong labor force in France has dropped significantly. The number of soldiers killed in the European War alone exceeded that of the original time and space.
Add the losses in the civil war, the loss of population, and the loss of labor caused by disability. In this short period of six years, the number of young men in France has decreased by at least three million.
On the surface, the number of three million does not seem to be particularly large. But don't forget that during the peak period of France, the total population of the country was more than 30 million.
Calculating on the basis of 40% of young people, the total number of young people in the country is twelve and three million. After dividing the male and female half by two, the total population of young and strong males is just over 6 million.
It is self-evident what it means for a country to halve young and strong men.
The original time-space France killed more than one million in World War I and wounded hundreds of thousands. It did not recover until the outbreak of World War II, let alone now.
We must know that although the original French army suffered heavy casualties, the total population has not declined much. The current total population of France has dropped by one-third.
At this stage, what you want to do and get revenge is all nonsense. If the Russians continue to be so scourge, the Ottoman Empire is a lesson for the past.
No matter what others think, Carlos is really scared anyway.
After so much experience, Carlos has already understood that it is not the Russians on the face that really want to suppress France, but the Vienna government behind the scenes.
Even if the Resistance Coalition defeated the Russians, it would be useless. The Anti-French Alliance could have another anti-French war. Since the intervention of the Allied Command, the war has begun to undergo a qualitative change.
According to the current situation, regardless of the end of this anti-Russian war, France is the biggest loser.
Just look at the destructive power of the Russian army. Even if they were wiped out, France would suffer a blood loss.
It's just that it is easy to start the plan, but difficult to terminate it. Neither the Russians nor the resistance organizations scattered across the country can stop because of his word.
...
Seeing the foreign minister's return, Carlos hurriedly asked: ”What did the Austrians say? What kind of conditions are needed before they are willing to intervene in the brutality of the Russian army to force the strong?”
In any case, it is better to talk to the Vienna government, which is rule-based, than to talk to the unruly tsarist government.
The Vienna government also needs to pay attention to food. The Russians do not have so much scruples, as long as they have benefits.
There is no doubt that recruiting laborers from France to build the Siberian Railway can reduce civil pressure, which is beneficial to the Russian Empire.
In this context, no matter how they protested to the tsarist government, it was all in vain.
The Minister of Foreign Affairs Pietro replied bitterly: ”It is a pity, Your Majesty. The Vienna government has been very indifferent and will not give us the opportunity for in-depth exchanges.
Although Wesenberg promised verbally that he would condemn the Russian army's conscription of strong men, this condemnation does not have any meaning.
It can be seen that the Austrians have acquiesced to the atrocities of the Russian army and have no intention to interfere. ”
There is no one who can't betrayed. The grudge between Shenluo and France can be traced back to the Frank Empire thousands of years ago. For the European hegemony, the two countries have been fighting since the Middle Ages until now.
The Vienna government had too many reasons to suppress France, but could not find a reason to support France.
The end result is: they want the Vienna government to make a profit transaction, but they can't even get a chance to negotiate.
Carlos sighed: ”The Russians have already begun to act, France is crying, and the people are almost unable to hold on.
If we cannot convince the Vienna government to intervene, then we can only fight the Russian army in advance. In any case, the Russians cannot be allowed to take our people away. ”
Different from the previous exiles, this time the Russians are smashing the roots of France. If you don't fight back at this time, there will be no chance to fight back in the future.
If the Russians are allowed to take away eight hundred and eighty thousand young men, then France will enter the countdown to destruction.
If there is an opportunity, the anti-French alliance countries will not mind, and divide France again.
...
The potential is forced out, and in the face of the threat of survival, the French also exploded with amazing potential.
Since the news spread of the Russians forcing the strong, the overwhelmed French people have joined the resistance organization, and the French resistance movement was pushed to a climax.
The people at home are desperately resisting, and the overseas Chinese are also not idle. While generously donating money and materials, they launched a public opinion offensive.
The governments of various countries have not yet responded, but the public opinion has been blown up. With the efforts of the French, the atrocities of the Russian army spread throughout the European continent.
Even Frederick at the Vienna Palace felt the pressure. Although the people of European countries do not catch a cold on France, it does not mean that everyone can tolerate the Russian army's reckless actions.
After thousands of years of division, the European world has never lacked ”crisis awareness.” Especially the people of small countries, the performance is particularly outstanding.
As soon as the ”rabbit and fox sorrow” sentiment, public opinion began to sympathize with the suffering of the French people, and even Shinra appeared to oppose the atrocities of the Russian army.
