Holy Roman Empire

Chapter 722

The Vienna Conference is still going on, and the refugee issue that should have received much attention has been subconsciously ignored by everyone.

The Russian representative did not mention it, the Prussian representative pretended to be stupid, and no one asked for help. Naturally, the international community thought the matter had passed.

I do n’t know where to start. The main task of the army on the border between Russia and Russia has changed from combat to suppressing refugee riots.

Since April, the number of refugees fleeing to Austria has decreased sharply, and by May there was almost no crossing.

Franz did not know what happened during this period, nor did he dare to ask.

According to the information collected by the Vienna government, the Russian-Russian war caused at least four million deaths and more than six million people were displaced.

Including local troops and guerrillas, the general army killed about 1.768 million and had 382,000 disabled; the Russian army killed about 1.433 million and had 671,000 disabled; the direct civilian casualties were about 800,000, most of them in the Pupo Federation.

It's no surprise that the battle losses between the two countries are so close, most of them are contributed by Polish local forces and guerrillas.

Bandits and bandits may also be counted. There is no way to distinguish between these things. The Russian army counts all the resistance forces.

After abandoning the Warsaw region, Poland became an enemy war zone. Naturally, there is no disability argument. The Russians will not rescue the enemy ’s wounded. The number of disabled people in the general army comes from soldiers of the Kingdom of Prussia.

Simply calculating the Kingdom of Prussia, the number of war dead should be about 566,000, plus 382,000 disabled people, approaching the million mark, plus civilian casualties have passed.

In terms of the population base of more than 10 million in the Kingdom of Prussia, this war has wiped out their generation.Because of the large losses of the young and strong, the labor force fell sharply, and the development of the Kingdom of Prussia after the war was not optimistic.

In contrast, the Russian Empire is much better.Although they also suffered heavy casualties, the loss on the battlefield was less than 3 percentage points compared to the population base of the Russian Empire of 80 million.

Theoretically, this part of the labor loss can be recovered in the next five to ten years.

Of course, the account cannot be calculated like this. A large number of youthful losses will also affect the future population growth. This is a persistent problem.

In war, the worst will always be civilians, and this time is no exception.The scorched earth plan of the Russians increased the number of refugees.

The displacement of six million people does not mean that these people have become refugees.

Those with better economic conditions have evacuated to other countries as early as possible. This group of people may be at least 100,000.

In addition, about 200,000 people passed the Austrian immigration application and settled in the colony.

Before the fall of Warsaw, the Berlin government was still providing relief to refugees, and some lucky people had found jobs and built new homes.

The number of these people is about 300,000, most of them are Rhineland immigrants who were previously placed by the Berlin government. They have a skill and strong survivability.

Apart from these people, the rest are genuine refugees.

When this 5.4 million is a theoretical number, there are certainly not that many. Many frail and sick people saw God when they first fled, and the maximum number of people who can run out is 4.7 million.

Before and after the outbreak of the Russo-Prussian War, Austria received a total of 1.436 million refugees, and it is difficult to exceed 1.5 million according to the current situation.

The protests of the Vienna government played a role. The two countries have no courage to drive the refugees over, and the wave of refugees that Franz is most worried about has not happened.

It has been more than four months since the refugee crisis broke out.After such a long period of time without relief, there are actually few people left.

This means that the number of deaths caused by the refugee crisis directly exceeds the total number of casualties in the two countries.

I do n’t know. I was shocked and added up all the data. The direct population loss caused by the Russian-Russian war was more than 8 million, and the indirect population loss was more than 10 million.

Fifteen countries with a population of more than 8 million this year cannot be found in the world, and there are only eight countries on the European continent: Austria, Russia, France, Britain, West, Germany, Europe, and the Nordic Federation.

Among them, the Nordic Federation has only 8 million people, and the German Federal Empire has only 13 million people. Whether the Kingdom of Prussia can keep 8 million people after the war is unknown.

Needless to say, this shocking data must be released.Without letting everyone know the terrible war, how can we appreciate the value of peace?

Looking at this gold-rich statistical table, Prime Minister Wesenberg sighed: "The Russian-Russian war is the pinnacle in the history of human war. After this campaign, the era of the European War is over!"

Looking at the cautious prime minister, Franz doubted that he was scared, otherwise how could he come to this conclusion?

After glancing at the crowd, Franz found helplessly that his emperor did not respond, and everyone else was immersed in the big data of "eight million deaths".

Looking at the expressions of everyone, Franz highly doubted that after the release of this data, a wave of anti-war will erupt in Europe.

Especially for many small countries, whose total population is less than 8 million, what can they do to fill the bottomless hole of war?

Franz interrupted: "Okay, everyone. No matter how much the loss of the Russian-Russian war, we should not have a headache.

Whether there will be a war on the European continent will be left to time to verify. Now we need to think about the next international changes.

The brutality of the war exceeded our previous expectations, and the impact was also beyond expectations. Now we must re-plan."

No way, international politics is so changeable, it is impossible to go according to plan.The international situation has changed, and if you do not keep up immediately, you are destined to be eliminated.

After a short pause, Foreign Minister Weisenberg said: "Your Majesty, the Russian-Russian War has shown you the cruelty of the war. When making decisions in the future, everyone will be more cautious.

Under normal circumstances, everyone will deliberately avoid launching wars on the European continent, and future international competition will gradually shift from the European continent to overseas.

This world is almost divided, and the subsequent overseas colonies and market competition will become unprecedentedly fierce."

This is an inevitable result. The cost of launching a war on the European continent is too high. If you are not careful, it will easily lead to public anger.

For details, we can refer to the war between Russia and Russia. The tsarist government won the war, and the loot gained was not enough to make up for half of the war losses.

In this context, unless necessary, everyone will definitely avoid the outbreak of war.

In a sense, the Russian-Russian war also increased Austria's international influence.The Russians killed the Pupo Federation by tactics of the sea of ​​people, and refreshed everyone's three views.

Prior to this, the outbreak of the European War had always only required consideration of whether there was money or not. Now it is different. Everyone must also consider whether there is anyone.

As the scale of the war has grown, the traditional concept of having money and having soldiers has been eliminated by the times.

In terms of quantity, Russia and Austria are undoubtedly at the first level, and after the overseas territories have passed, Austria's war potential is still above the Russian Empire.

It is closely followed by Greater France, with a total population of nearly 60 million, leaving other countries far behind.

The Russians proved their prowess with quantity, and sat firmly in the position of the fourth-largest country in continental Europe.The political structure of the three major European countries has a tendency to develop towards the four major countries.

On the ocean, the pattern of the Royal Navy's superpower is very stable. The position of the British sea supremacy is as stable as Taishan. The two chasers of Faw can only look behind.

On land, France and Austria stand side by side, followed by the Russians.

Before the Russian-Russian War, everyone agreed that the French army was more powerful, and now the ideology and concepts have been impacted, and the views have also changed.

The French Army ’s record is more brilliant, but Austria can explode in greater numbers and has stronger overall national strength, giving people a feeling of considerable strength.

Everyone can't beat the British at sea, and everyone's strength on land is very close.

Against this background, it is unrealistic to expect the pk of the three countries of Britain, France and Austria.If the Big Three with the largest share cannot grab each other, then they can only go overseas to hold the bully.

Franz nodded: "That's right. Most of the next international struggles will happen overseas. When the landlessness is divided, it's time for the small country to be unlucky.

If nothing goes wrong, the naval feast is about to start again.But as long as no one challenges the British maritime hegemony, this naval feast will not last long.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs can secretly contact France, Russia, and try to sign a treaty that limits the size of the army to avoid the outbreak of the European War."

Frankly speaking, Franz also wanted to challenge the British's maritime hegemony, but he had no choice but to give up.

This is not enough to build a ship. On the shipbuilding industry, Austria really has a chance to fight with the British, otherwise it will not work.

The Austrian Navy has never encountered any decent opponents. Naturally, it has no chance to accumulate war experience. The best war experience is to destroy pirates.

If the deficiencies in this area can be remedied by the number of warships, then no money is the real flaw.

Austria ’s financial revenue is not low at all, but under the premise of maintaining the Continental Army, it will not be able to roar if it is to play at sea.

The army is different from the navy. Even if it limits the size of the army, it can be mobilized quickly during the war.

Tampering with the arms limitation treaty is of consolation in heart, which is greater than the substantial binding force.

Of course, it is better than nothing.Before the outbreak of war, it was indeed possible to save a lot of financial expenses.Saved military expenses in the army, so that everyone has more money to invest in the navy.

Even if it can't touch the British's position of maritime hegemony, it can reduce the gap with the strength of the Royal Navy, which is also a great victory.
