Chapter 988： Jaw-dropping politics

Although Japan and the West have each received the support of their bosses, it takes time to repair warships. The naval battle has temporarily come to an end, but the curtain on land battle has just opened.

I don't know if the Spaniards are eager to win, or whether they are the best. In short, the expeditionary force launched a comprehensive counteroffensive and launched landing operations on multiple islands at the same time.

The specific results have not been announced. Anyway, the Spanish Expeditionary Force is advancing all the way, except for a few large islands that are still in the hands of the Japanese, and the rest are recaptured by the Expeditionary Force.

Franz didn't care about what was going on, whether the Japanese had a conspiracy. As long as the battle in the Philippines is dragged down, the longer the battle, the better.

Not to make war fortune. Japan and the West are poor ghosts, no matter how much you squeeze them, you can't get a few drops of oil. The main reason is that it takes time to recover from the trauma of war. The longer it is delayed, the greater the voice of the Vienna government.

What worries Franz most at the moment is not the situation in Southeast Asia, but the restoration of France. Because of the relationship between the heirs, the three kings' parties are about to degenerate from human brains to monkey brains, and they actually make the new government bigger under their noses.

After the nobles reacted, they surprisingly discovered that the enemy had reached out to the army. The inability of high-level officers to win does not mean that the basic-level officers and soldiers cannot.

Realizing the danger, the kingly party finally knows to let go of its prejudices, but unfortunately everything is too late. The revolutionaries took the first step, and several senior leaders of the royalist party suffered accidents. For a time, the royalist party had no leader.

In addition to scolding a few pig teammates, Franz can only bite the bullet and help them deal with the aftermath. To put it another way, the representatives of the three dynasties were brought together to discuss who would take care of the mess.

Even Napoleon IV, who was in exile, came to Vienna as an emperor to attend the meeting in a fair manner. It is estimated that ordinary people would not even dare to think about it.

However, all this really happened. In order to clean up the mess in France as soon as possible, the Vienna government had to make compromises.

For example: the role of Bonaparte dynasty in the European War was redefined.

Napoleon IV, who was originally the main responsible person for the war, was just because the monarchy was not held accountable. Now he has become a pure white flower.

War responsibility?

If it doesn't exist, it is clear that the capitalist has taken the emperor and made a decision. How can the emperor be held accountable?

Napoleon IV’s greatest responsibility is incompetence. As a monarch, he was held hostage by capitalists, which is really embarrassing.

However, he succeeded to the throne at a young age, and the ministers of the ministers were bought by the consortium, so that the emperor's power fell behind, and then the next thing happened.

Out of the responsibility of the monarch, His Majesty Napoleon IV is responsible for this and has decided to abdicate in the near future.

In order to avoid a situation where the ruler is weak and the minister is strong again, the Bonaparte dynasty took the initiative to give up this time of inheritance because the next generation of successors was young.

Regardless of how nonsense this explanation was, Franz believed it now. Of course, this is unavoidable to drink a few more glasses, or the conscience will not get through! As for how many people believe outside, it doesn't matter to him.

Anyway, the final result was that the Bonaparte dynasty gave up the anti-Austrian flag, and the Vienna government also admitted that they had the right to inherit the French throne.

It is true that the "throne" is not the "throne", France itself is a kingdom, and it is obviously illegal to claim the emperor. Now that the illegal regime is overthrown, it is natural to restore orthodoxy.

This self-contradictory explanation must be "unreasonable", but politics has never been reasonable.

To stabilize the situation in France, the new king needs the support of the Bonapartists, and a compromise is inevitable.

Then, the son of Napoleon IV became the third heir to the throne of France. If the heirs of the Bourbon and Orleans dynasties launched in an accident, or it is his turn after all, no other members of the two dynasties can **** it.

Isn't it funny?

But this is politics!

It looks like a fight for the throne, but in fact it is also a redistribution of benefits. The king takes turns to do it, which is a compromise between the three kingly parties.

On the surface, the Bonapartist dynasty suffered a big loss in such a substitute order, and it might be insulated from the throne forever.

In fact, this is not the case. The exile monarch can live a happy life, but it would be different if he brought the government in exile. A large group of children need to be raised by the monarch, no matter how big the family business is, they can't hold it!

Although Napoleon IV took away a large sum of money when he ran away, no amount of money could hold up. Especially after the tense situation in Paris, there was an endless stream of people who defected, and the number of young and old together is about to exceed 10,000.

Reject, they are all "loyal ministers" of the Bonapartist dynasty, so doing so will make people feel chilling; if they accept all of them, Napoleon IV can't afford it.

In this context, if Napoleon IV did not want to go bankrupt, he could only compromise. Only when the new government returns the family business of these supporters and gives up suppressing them can it get rid of this trouble.

As a wise man, Napoleon IV naturally knew that after the emergence of the European Union, the European political structure had been stabilized, and the Bonapartist dynasty could not be restored in a short time.

At least until the "red name" on the head is eliminated, the best opportunity will have to do with them. Rather than continue to carry it to the end and consume the last strength in the hand, it is better to take the opportunity to sell it for a good price.

A political compromise not only got rid of the heavy economic burden, but also eliminated the "red name" on the head, and by the way, it also bought a wave of people's hearts.

How could the emperor who abdicated in order for his followers to return to China and keep their family business not supported?

It is conceivable that after this wave of operations, the cohesion of the Bonapartists will rise to a new level, especially those returning from the exile team will remember this friendship even more.

Even for family reputation, these people will support the Bonaparte dynasty for a long time to come.

Lost the throne and the right of succession was ranked last, but the strength of the Bonapartists was restored.

If political cleansing can be successful, the Bonapartists will be the strongest political faction in France for a long time to come.

Naturally, there are advantages and disadvantages. At the same time as buying people's hearts, Napoleon IV also lost some of them. From the moment the compromise was reached, the Bonaparte dynasty stood on the opposite side of the radical avengers.

Regardless of how adequately managed, in the eyes of the radical avengers, this is a betrayal. Traitors are more annoying than enemies. It is estimated that at this moment these people would like to get rid of Napoleon IV and quickly.

These are what the Vienna government wants to see most. The French are too active. If they don't fight internally, they will engage in external fights.

Franz is satisfied with the European political situation and does not want to have another European War, so the hatred of the French is better to be kept in a cage.

After some bargaining, Carlos, a supporter of the Bourbon dynasty, who was supported by the Vienna government, became the first heir, while the Orleans launched Philip as the second heir.

On the surface, the Bourbon dynasty has made a lot of money, possessing both Spanish and French crowns, and it has returned to its peak overnight.

It's a pity that this is only on the surface, not to mention that Carlos and the Spanish royal family have long been in trouble. The mess of France alone is enough to cause headaches.

Today is different from the past. If a few months ago, the royalist party reached an agreement and obtained the approval of the anti-French alliance, the restoration could be completed immediately. Unfortunately, this good time is gone forever, and now I want to restore. Good is a civil war.

...

"kill!"

"Go!"

"Da da da……"

Accompanied by shouts of killing and gunfire, Paris once again fell into chaos. After confirming that the royal party reached an agreement to prepare for restoration, the new government immediately took action to purge the noble power in the city.

"Damn it, the phone line is no longer working. The enemy clearly planned to destroy us all!"

Knowing that Gui knows, Count Adrian can't do anything about what's happening right now.

There are many private armies of the nobility in Paris. If they can unite, they will not be comparable to the revolutionary party's armed forces.

However, there is no "if" in reality. The assembled aristocratic private army is indeed strong, but the scattered aristocratic private army is another situation.

After a period of preparation, the original mob of revolutionary army has been reborn after absorbing the released prisoners.

The new government took advantage of the number of the revolutionary army and caught the aristocratic private army by surprise.

If this is the case, the noble private army is not incapable of making a comeback. After all, the Revolutionary Party army not only has heavy weapons, but also lacks qualified officers. Even if the quality of the soldiers is up, they can show up to five points for their combat effectiveness.

It is a pity that human nature is complicated, and nobility is no exception. Everyone is worried that if they take the initiative to attack, others will not respond and will end in annihilation.

"Count, do you want to withdraw first? We have limited power now, and we will only increase casualties if we continue to be trapped."

The steward’s advice is undoubtedly the most realistic. There are only a few nobles living in the city, and more nobles still prefer to live in the manor.

The revolutionary government has the ability to clean up Paris, but it has no ability to carry out a nationwide cleansing. Once you leave this cage, it is "the sky is high and the birds fly, the sea and the sky leap."

With the power of the noble group and the support of European countries, restoration is only a matter of time. No matter how hard the revolutionary government tries, it can only be a dying struggle.

Count Adrian shook his head: "Now is not the time, just with hundreds of us, we can't run far with family members. Send someone to the nearby Marquis of Anderson and Count of Goodlund, and we will be together in the evening. Break through."

Unlike later generations, the European nobles of this year are all going to the battlefield. The European War was so fierce, the French nobles of the right age basically walked away from the battlefield, and Count Adrian was no exception.

With combat experience, Adrian naturally knows to make the best choice. The communication was interrupted and the private armies of the nobles in the whole city could not be assembled, but this did not prevent the nearby military nobles from holding groups.

"Yes, count!"

Just as the butler was about to turn and leave, Count Adrian hurriedly stopped and said: "Wait a minute, no need to send people. I guess their situation is not much better. Now even if they are sent out, they cannot be contacted. .

Maybe it will expose the existence of the secret road, and the enemy can take advantage of it. We will contact them again in the evening, when we break through. "

This is a gamble, but Count Adrian has no choice. The revolutionary army does not have artillery. In theory, standing by for help is the best choice.

But the problem is that the inside of the noble group is also a mess. The charismatic guys didn't meet God, they met in Vienna, and no one else could command the others.

The battle has been going on for a long time, and the army originally controlled by the noble group has not appeared on the battlefield, so Count Adrian didn't think much about it.

In case the reinforcements don't come, it's over. We must know that since the second revolution, more than four figures have been publicly executed by the new government, and even more people have been killed secretly.

Although no nobles were publicly executed, there were many nobles who had accidents, and some of them were higher than him. Had it not been for the tense situation, the royalist party would not have compromised so quickly.
