At the Vienna Palace, after receiving the news of the outbreak of the refugee wave, Franz was stunned.

There is no way, this news is really amazing.You must know that Belgium and the Rhineland are the heart of Europe, not insignificant remote areas.

It is conceivable that once this news spreads, all the previous diplomatic efforts of the French government will be lost.Including their ally, the British, will also look at the Paris government in a different light.

After playing politics for many years, Franz's heart was already very strong and he soon recovered.

"Is the news certain? The refugee tide is really caused by the French expelling local residents, not because of the war."

The production of refugees in war and the expulsion of locals are two completely different concepts. The latter is inevitable, while the former shows France's ambitions.

Don't think that this war broke out when the French wanted to seize the territory west of the Rhine. In fact, the French government has never admitted to annexing these areas.

The expansion of the European continent this year will not only cause ridicule by the public opinion, diplomatic hostility, but also a political taboo.

The legal basis is the hurdle that cannot be avoided.Destroying this thing is tantamount to shaking the European political system.Breaking the rules will inevitably be countered by the rules.

The reason for the French to launch this war was the disappearance of soldiers. Similar excuses for war are not too much in the European continent.A war can break out for a jar of honey, let alone a soldier missing?

The ambition was not revealed publicly, and it was a quiet work. Everyone can understand and pretend to be confused, and all countries are happy to think that Austria and the two countries are fighting.

Many politicians are operating secretly, and after Fao loses both sides, they jump out to pick peaches and restore the European balance system.

The situation is different if the French do this.Especially for small countries, the lid is lifted. If they don't do something, big countries will follow suit. How can they live?

Of course, these are all theoretical.In a sense, politics is a bitch.In this age of the weak and the strong, as long as the strength is strong, all problems are not a problem.

Prime Minister Carl replied with a gloomy face: "The news has been verified. The French army has carried out a devastating looting of the people in the occupied areas, robbed the locals of food, burned their houses, and forced the locals to leave.

In addition, the French army also blocked the ports in Belgium and the roads to Switzerland and the Netherlands. It seems that they are preparing to expel all the refugees.

According to the information from the inside, the French army had a problem with its logistics and was unable to supply the consumption of the frontline army.The cause was that the coalition forces destroyed local roads and bridges, and burned down granaries and supplies before they left.

If the war continues, the French government will not only support the frontline army, but also solve the problem of feeding tens of millions of local people, which is far beyond the capabilities of the French.

Then, someone proposed a plan to expel the locals.Except for a few who have taken refuge in the French traitors, almost all the people are within the scope of deportation.

If nothing happens, we may receive nearly 10 million refugees next, which is far beyond the government's previous plan."

After hearing this explanation, Franz had to believe it.This is no longer a question whether the French want to do it, but it must be done.

How to solve the problem of eating without expelling the locals?

There are tens of millions of people in the local area, and once the private food reserves are exhausted, the French government must find a way to feed them.Otherwise, the belly is hungry, these people will rebel.

Food is only a short-term problem, and the trouble will be even greater.If you look at the Italian region, you can see that after so many years, the local area has not yet fully stabilized.

It is so difficult to assimilate Italians, and it is even more difficult to assimilate Germans with strong folk customs.

The former has no country and all the problems are internal; the latter is different. Even if France wins the war, it is impossible to kill Austria.

Since it can't be digested, leaving these people is no longer wealth, but a heavy burden.

Regardless of short-term demand or long-term strategy, these locals are a potential threat to France.

Instead of leaving behind these hidden dangers, it is better to expel them and add trouble to the enemy.

Facts have proved that the French have succeeded in this operation.Although many preparations have been made, Austria is not ready to welcome so many refugees.

It is easier to make trouble than to solve it.The French army does not need to care about civilian losses, simply and rudely expelling the locals, one month is enough.

In contrast, the situation in Austria to resettle these people is very different.

Don't say one month, even within a year, it is not an easy task to relocate so many people.

The Vienna government has rich experience in resettlement, but it does not have the ability to resettle nearly 10 million people in a short period of time.

In particular, the current sea routes are blocked, and Austrian ships can only operate in the Eastern Mediterranean, which makes resettlement more difficult.

To be sure, affected by the tide of refugees, for a long time to come, the anti-French alliance will lose its initiative in the battlefield in Central Europe.

"This is the end of the matter, let's do a good job of refugee resettlement next! Since the French are recruiting, we have to continue.

Refugees are not all old, weak, women and children. Some young people are arranged to maintain roads and reduce the number of domestic workers.

From Central Europe to Africa, there are tens of thousands of kilometers of railways and highways that should be able to house many people.In any case, give the refugees a job and not let them sit idle.

These refugees are similar to our cultural traditions. It should not be difficult to integrate them. How many people can stay after the war depends on everyone's abilities.

As long as one-fifth can be retained, our current investment will not lose.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs must also take action to expose the atrocities of the French to the world and call on European countries to boycott them."

The resettlement strategy is very simple, but it hurts money a bit.However, compared with the incidental benefits, Franz is still willing to act as the taker.

Of course, this is based on the premise that Austria does not lack food.No matter how many refugees there are, they don’t have to worry about food, otherwise this piece of meat will be poisonous.

Foreign Secretary Wesenberg: "Your Majesty, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has already taken action, but the result may not be too optimistic.

What the French did would certainly arouse the hostility of European countries, but it also affects us.Judging from the current situation, it is possible to annex Germany and Belgium, not only France, but also us.

The French have created opportunities. After the war, there were not a few people in the Rhineland and Belgium, and they could even be said to be landless.

As long as we win this war, there are enough reasons to annex the aforementioned regions.Because of history, it is much less difficult for us to annex these regions than the French.

It is estimated that at this time, the vigilance of European countries towards us has also risen to a new height.

In this context, the sanctions adopted by European countries against the French are mostly thunder and rain.The French should have calculated this before taking action."

It is impossible to explain. In a sense, explanation is to cover up. No matter what the Vienna government explains, everyone will not believe it.

Moreover, the annexation of the German region was originally within the scope of the plan. In order to complete this plan, the Vienna government has made efforts for decades.

If anyone dares to give up, folk spit stars can bury people.

As for Belgium, it is indeed outside the scope of the Vienna government's plan, and Franz has no interest in Belgium.

However, a separate pledge not to annex Belgium would not only have no effect, but would expose the plan to annex Germany.

Although almost everyone knows this plan, speaking out and doing it quietly are completely two concepts.Many things in politics can only be done but cannot be said.

In this context, what the Austrian government can do is pretend not to know.Neither admit it nor deny it, and let the outside world make up for it.

If my own international image is not good, it will bring competitors to the same level as myself.Facing such helpless tricks, Franz could only sigh.

"Do your best, anyway, the key to determining the outcome of this war is still on the battlefield.

As long as Britain and Russia do not participate in the war, even if other countries want to intervene in this war, they will have more than enough energy.

Since the tide of refugees has delayed our decisive battle, the next stage of the battle plan, the European battlefield will be delayed first, and the counterattack will focus on the African continent.

The era of staking land on the African continent is over long ago. Now there is an opportunity to redistribute benefits. This opportunity must not be missed."

I don't know since when, the world began to popularize the reasoning method of established facts.For the great powers, as long as they created established facts, they could basically eat the meat.

With the capture of French Africa, the decline of France became a foregone conclusion.Even if Napoleon was reborn, he was unable to recover.

Prime Minister Carl reminded: "Your Majesty, suddenly the strategic focus is not good!"

The national strategy affects the whole body. Once it is formulated, it is almost impossible to make drastic strategic adjustments.

In particular, this kind of non-conventional first-fro-European strategy is simply to refresh the three views of the European world.
