Holy Roman Empire

Christmas in 1879 was particularly lively, and apart from the fighting between Russia and Russia, the European people had a fat year.

In accordance with established practice, after the New Year, the Vienna government assigned various departments annual tasks.

The only exception is the Immigration Department. Everyone knows that it is a fantasy to complete the grand immigration strategy when the domestic economy is in full swing.

Therefore, the mission of the Immigration Department in 1880 is to continue the unfinished mission of the previous year, and there is no punishment.

In this regard, the Austrian government is still very pragmatic, and the tasks of various departments are formulated through research and actual conditions, and will not act blindly in order to brush "political achievements."

Entering the new year, Franz ’s deepest feeling is that he is “one year older”. At the age when he knows his destiny, he will not be obedient.

Judging from the average life expectancy of this era, this age is completely called a long life.In the folk, this age can already retire.

The countryside is better. In cities, this age is basically unemployed. No factory will hire people of this age.

Decreased physical strength and inflexible hands and feet are not something that can be changed by one's will.Fortunately, those who are engaged in mental work, except for a few manual jobs, are mostly insulated from them except for a few positions.

There is no need to worry about the issue of old-age care. Heavy manual labor and an expensive medical system have helped you through the “old age crisis”.

"Franz, when do you see Frederick's marriage?"

The voice of Queen Helen brought Franz back in thought.

"Is it too early to be so anxious?" Franz replied without thinking.

"It's too early!" It seemed to realize that Franz didn't care about his son's marriage, and Helen was dissatisfied: "Friedlie is 24 years old, and Victoria is 18 years old. The Baden royal family has sent a telegram to Cui, you can't Longer heart! "

As soon as Franz froze, he said casually!He hadn't seen such a big fire in Helen since he was married for so many years.

Whether it is a woman's menopause is over, or a mother is stronger, Franz has no time to investigate.

"What do you think? I mean, just after Christmas, I was in a hurry to talk about marriage.

Moreover, the two countries are at war with each other, and there is blood in the European continent. At this juncture, it is too bad for Frederick to marry."

After being the emperor for so many years, Franz found only today how powerful he is to make excuses, as if he had returned to his previous life to coax his girlfriend.

The inexplicable fire of a woman came quickly and went quickly.

After listening to Franz ’s argument, Queen Helen extinguished her anger, still complaining in her mouth: "This damn war is really annoying."

Then he pointed his head to Franz: "Why do your men always like to kill, why can't they sit down and talk about it?"

Some guilty Franz rolled his eyes and said without changing his face: "Because we want to feed you!"

"This world is so big that the gifts of nature cannot meet the needs of all mankind, and everyone can only fight and win in order to survive.

The Russian-Russian war was the result of sublimation of contradictions, and no one could make concessions. Concessions meant disaster."

This is not nonsense, but a sufficient theoretical basis.According to the analysis of the data collected by the Austrian government, sociologists generally believe that 70% of the world ’s people are currently hungry, which means that more than one billion people in the world are not eating enough.

Accurately inaccurate, there is no need to dispute this issue.Most people are in a state of poverty, and even maintaining a livelihood is difficult. This is a social reality.

Not to mention that in areas where industry has not developed, even the European continent, which boasts a civilized world, has more than 200 million poor people out of a total population of 320 million.

Of course, compared with other regions, the European people's lives are still much better due to the colonial dividend. Most people can barely fill their stomachs if they work hard.

There are many reasons for hunger, including: exploitation by the ruling class, insufficient regional food production capacity, colonial rule ...

The hunger problem of all mankind has not been solved in the 21st century, and it is even more impossible to solve it in this era.

All that can be done is to sweep the snow in front of the house. While developing domestically, go out and plunder one more time, basically the people can be filled.

If the first Russian-Russian war is still an element of face-to-face struggle and the struggle for will, the second Russian-Russian war is a battle for living space.

The main factor leading to the outbreak of war is interest, and hatred has long since retreated to a secondary position.

If the tsarist government wants to restore its status as a great power, break out of the Baltic Sea, and recover the lost ground, it must defeat the Pupo Federation.

Vice versa, the Pupo Federation wants to go further and can only expand eastward.

It can be said that the war has been doomed since the Berlin government decided to abandon the sea and land.This is determined by geographical location, and it can only expand eastward without becoming a colonial empire.

Although the strength of the German Federal Empire in the west is not great, but their geographical location is special, the westward movement is equivalent to declaring war at the same time, or the four countries of Britain, France, Russia, and Austria.

To the south is the stronger Austria, and to the north is the Nordic Federation.Geographically speaking, the Berlin government is also facing the Russians on the way north.

Queen Helen is not interested in politics, and unless it is necessary, she usually does not join.In her view, these issues are far less important than holding grandchildren at an early date.

"You figure it out, if Frederick complains, I will tell him what you mean."

After all, he still loved his son, and Queen Helen did not want Frederick to be wronged.Ordinary people get married when there is blood in Europe, but as the Crown Prince of Austria, it is inevitable that marriage will be affected at this time.

As long as the guests who wanted to attend the wedding did not come to send blessings, but were busy talking about the Russian-Russian war, the embarrassing scene, Queen Helen felt that they should be separated.

Franz smiled slightly and made a very confident judgment: "Relax, the Russian-Russian war will not last long. If it goes well, it will end at the end of this year, and it will be delayed to 1882 at the latest.

If Russia and Russia win or lose, then the war may end at the end of the year; if there is no victory or defeat, the war will end for two years.

Now that we have not entered the 20th century, if we want to continue for four or five years like the World War, our national power cannot support it!

Parents don't have to hug their grandchildren, dragging their son's marriage, Franz is forced to help.In the royal family, marriage must serve politics.

In this case, it is natural to maximize the benefits.At such a sacrifice, Frederick loses a lot if he doesn't make a huge political resource.

The end of the Russian-Russian War and the dramatic changes in the situation in Europe are the best time for Austria to infiltrate the German Federation. Frederick ’s marriage happens to be an opportunity for all parties to have a fair and bright contact.

The things that have already been negotiated can also be taken to the bright side, and the political achievements finally reached are indispensable to Frederick as a party.

Contributed to the reunification movement in the German region and accumulated political prestige, which is very important for Frederick's future succession to the throne.

The second-generation emperor is not good, especially his father is particularly good.The outside world will compare them, but how can political achievements be so easy?

Franz is in a great era of change, this special period of high-level, the achievements can not be copied later.

...

While Franz was worrying about his son, the Russian battlefield also changed. After all the hardships, the Russian army finally prevailed on the Ukrainian battlefield.

Mao Qi, who is good at outside operations, gave full play to the advantage of the general army ’s fast speed, adopted a series of tactics such as siege aid, east and west, and constantly mobilized the Russian army to focus on the superior forces in the movement and the Russian decisive battle.

After a series of operations that can be included in military textbooks, in the months from the end of 1879 to the beginning of 1880, the general army successively wiped out more than 200,000 Russian troops, which was called the "Warren victory" by the European media.

The general army was tactically successful, and it was only a strategic upper hand. The Russians lost most of Warren, but kept the strategic strategic point of Brest, and Maoqi Kiev's offensive failed.

A little regret is nothing. Anyway, the south side also won, and the other battlefields will be much worse.In particular, the northern coast was attacked by the Russian navy, and many port cities were reduced to rubble under artillery fire, causing heavy losses.

The battlefield in the central region is not much better. Although there is no loss on the battlefield, the Russian army has continuously sent Cossack cavalry to deepen the destruction, which makes the Berlin government distressed.

I do n’t know if it is due to talent. On the frontal battlefield, the combat strength of the Cossack cavalry is not much stronger than that of the general cavalry, but once transformed into a robber, the combat power skyrocketed as if it were an open hanger.

Once a Cossack Cavalry Regiment robbed and accidentally fell into a general cavalry regiment and two infantry regiments. As a result, they simply defeated the General Cavalry Regiment and broke out with some loot.

Although this has to do with the rush of the generals and the siege circle did not have time to tighten, the fighting strength of the Cossack cavalry is still shocking the generals.

This is not an example. As long as you carefully analyze and study, you will find that when protecting your own loot, the Cossack cavalry can always play at a super level.

If there is success, it will naturally fail. In order to combat the arrogance of the Russians, the general army has also set up traps many times and successfully ambushed these robbers.

Interests are moving, no matter how big the risk can't stop Cossack's dream of getting rich.

Moreover, this time the Tsarist government was generous. Not only did all the spoils go to them, but they also provided generous rewards. As long as they participated in the robbery, they would be rewarded with 3 rubles.

Looking at the war losses between the two countries and Russia, Franz came to the conclusion: "A tie."

The Russian soldiers suffered more casualties, and the civilian population of the Popo Federation was more casualty, and no one took advantage of it.
