Holy Roman Empire

The world is always full of coincidences. Nicholas II, who was still hesitant to start the Siberian Railway, made a decisive decision to repair after learning of the changes on the front line.

Obviously, after the frontline troops had problems with the logistics, they did not ask him, the czar, to respond to the problem. Instead, 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 hell 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 declined not 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 will be a lesson for the past.

No matter what others think, Carlos is really scared anyway.

After so much, 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 required for them to intervene in the Russian army's brutality?"

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 don't 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 exchange.

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 of interfering."

There is nothing that cannot be betrayed. The grievances 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 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.

Looking at the newspaper in his hand, Frederick rubbed his forehead.Although the Vienna government has a News Control Act, this kind of real international news is not restricted.

To blame, I can only blame the Russian army for not being able to live up to it, not even doing confidential work, and making things known to everyone.

I was playing robbery, killing, and being secretly filmed in small movies; now I’m forcing a strong man, and news is flying all over the sky.

The scolding was entirely self-inflicted.If not limited by his identity, Frederick would like to personally write articles to publicly criticize the atrocities of the Russian army.

Although Shinra had an antagonism with France, it was mostly a matter of history.As a winner, except for the people of the Principality of Luxembourg and the Rhineland in the west, the feelings of others are not too deep.

It is natural to sympathize with the weak, especially when the Russians continue to be demon, the dissatisfaction of ordinary people with the tsarist government is even more intense.

Over time, more and more media have joined the ranks of criticizing the atrocities of the Russian army.Every day, celebrities in society write to the government, hoping that the Vienna government can fulfill its responsibilities as a great power and interfere in the inhumane behavior of the Russian army.

"His Royal Highness, King Carlos is here again."

The voice of the attendant sounded, pulling Frederick from his meditation back to reality.

Recently, Carlos seems to be clocking in to work, running to the palace every day.At first, Frederick was still a good reception, but later he was really annoyed and simply dealt with it symbolically.

Every time we talk about the same thing, normal people will feel annoyed.But Carlos didn't seem to know it, and ran to the Vienna Palace with perseverance.

Well, this is also forced out.As the King of France, Carlos had to do something when suffering in the country.

If you can't find any effective measures, you can only show off.Regardless of the actual effect, Carlos's perseverance has been widely recognized.

Although he was forced to go into exile, the European media generally gave Carlos not a low evaluation.

He has become a raft for people to brush his reputation. Franz's reputation has already reached its peak. Naturally, he can ignore this trivial matter; Frederick can't do it. As the crown prince, he also needs to brush his reputation.

Everyone wants to be the protagonist, no one wants to be a supporting role in the story.If it were not for the bad influence, Frederick would have ordered Carlos to be expelled.

Frowning, Frederick said helplessly: "Please come over!"

In any case, people are also a king, and there is still no lack of etiquette.As an antique of the world of European monarchs, Franz avoids seeing what no one would say. If Frederick followed suit, he would be sprayed by the aristocracy.

...

Looking at Frederick with an impatient look, Carlos took the lead and said: "His Royal Highness, the atrocities committed by the Russian army in France have flagrantly violated the "Vienna Treaty". This is something that the civilized world cannot tolerate.

As the head of the civilized world and the leader of the European world, the Holy Roman Empire should shoulder the responsibility of a great power and stop the Russians..."

Before he could finish his words, Frederick rolled his eyes: "Your Majesty, we have talked about these issues many times. I repeat again: The Holy Roman Empire has no intention of dominating the country, let alone any obligation to your country.

As for the atrocities of the Russian army, I suggest that your Majesty should talk to the Tsarist government. This is a matter between your two countries. I believe you can handle it."

If for the sake of a few words of flattery, he would foolishly interfere with the actions of the Russians, and Frederick would be a fool.

From the standpoint of the Vienna government, the best option is to allow France and Russia to fight. The more casualties between the two countries, the more stable the hegemony of Shinra.

If the Russians were able to destroy France, Frederick would not mind helping the Tsarist government reimburse military expenses, and he could even give an extra bonus.

Just take a handful of France and just think about it.The hatred has been planted, and it cannot be eliminated in a short time.

Long before the Russian troops were stationed in Paris, the Vienna government had made a plan: to use the hands of the Russians to fight against the French resistance and to wipe out their desire for revenge.

Judging from the current situation, the Russians have completed the task above the level.Although hatred still exists, the goal of hatred has changed.

The French who originally wanted to revive and seek revenge from the anti-French alliance have now reduced their goal to: expelling the Russians.

This is a good start. As long as this situation continues for a few years, the French people will only remember the enemy of the Russian Empire.

Carlos fought hard: "But your Highness, thousands of French people are now living in dire straits, so you don't want to do something for them when it's so difficult?"

After standing up and looking out the window, Frederick replied indifferently: "No!"

"Anyone has to pay for the choices they make. From the beginning of France's war of aggression, the fate of all this is doomed.

No snowflake is innocent when the snow mountain collapses.Now the people of your country are just paying for their previous actions.

What the Russian army did, your country did to other countries.The countries of Italy, Belgium, Luxembourg, and the Rhineland region have not suffered less damage.

Can’t you do it when you do it to others, but now it’s your turn to be unlucky?"

"Sarcastic", "sarcasm" without any disguise.Obviously, Frederick was impatient to the extreme, and he didn't even have the thought of going around in circles.

As for that, whether Carlos can accept it or not is out of his consideration.Anyway, Frederick has only one idea now, that is to send Carlos away as soon as possible, so as not to cause trouble to himself.

The method is a bit clumsy, but the effect is very obvious.Carlos was so angry that his face was blue and purple, as if it might break out at any time.

But Carlos, who grew up from setbacks, quickly realized the problem and quickly tempered his emotions.

"His Royal Highness, you are too paranoid. It was the Napoleonic government that initiated the war, and the capitalists were behind the scenes, and ordinary people had no choice at all.

They were deceived into the chariot. Like Belgium and Sardinia, we are all victims of war.

Now..."

Frederick, who had no intention of participating in the quarrel, immediately interrupted: "Your Majesty, there is no point in arguing between you and me here.

Unless you can persuade the people of Shinra in Luxembourg and the Rhineland to give up their hatred against you, otherwise we will not be able to support your country.

Instead of wasting time here, you might as well think about how to deal with the aftermath."
