Chapter 1041： Serve the old

The reality is skinny, and whether the French are willing to accept it or not, what should happen is what happened. Now that the war has started, it is no longer within the control of the French government.

In this world where the weak and the strong eat the strong, speaking with fists between countries is far more reliable than any principle.

If the Russians can be defeated on the battlefield, then there is still room for discussion; if they are defeated again, then from now on, France can rest assured to be a small third-rate country without military power!

For the future of the nation, the French now have to fight to the death. To regain everyone’s respect, he had to fight back from the battlefield with a knife and gun.

The French government has no retreat, so is the Tsarist government?

The prestige of the Russian Empire is the world's biggest megaphone. If they retreat when they encounter some difficulties, why do they make European countries jealous?

This time, the French-Russian War, but the Russians did it themselves. If even a France that is defeated and declining cannot be dealt with, the face of the tsarist government will be wiped out.

If you lose face, you lose your deterrence to the outside world, but you can't weaken it. Looking at the history books of the Russian Empire is a history of war expansion.

In the process of continuous expansion, the Russians also offended their neighbors all over again. No one dares to provoke the powerful Russian Empire, but once it falls into decline, it will be different.

The first Russian-Prussian War is the best example. Just as the Russian Empire showed its fatigue, neighbors from all directions pounced on it.

If it weren't for the fact that the Vienna government took action at a critical moment and pulled them, there would be no Russian Empire.

The lessons of history are there, and it is impossible for the tsarist government not to learn its lessons. What's more, today is different. The current Shenluo Empire no longer needs to hug Russia to keep warm.

If you do it again, the possibility of Vienna falling into trouble is far more likely than pulling them ashore.

Both sides have reasons to win. The bloodiest scene of the Franco-Russian War just broke out.

In order to clear the place and avoid being attacked by endless guerrillas, the Russian army stationed in Paris stubbornly withstood international pressure and sacrificed the simplest and most effective renju method.

Whenever there was an attack by the guerrillas, the residents of the surrounding villages and towns five kilometers away did not report, and they all had to follow along. Even if a metropolis like Paris is attacked by guerrillas, the residents of the entire street must be held accountable.

There was no direct massacre, but the punishment adopted by the Russian army was not much different from the massacre.

Exiled to Siberia for digging potatoes, it seems that there is a thread left, but in fact, there is only a conceptual gap between time and direct delivery to God.

Everyone knows the ethics of the bureaucrats of the Tsarist government. They often misuse their own people, let alone deal with their enemies.

Insufficient supplies are necessary. The elderly, the weak, sick, and disabled will be shipped together without any medical assistance. If you have a fever and cough, you will throw them into the sea to feed fish.

The exiled French often reduced their staff by one-third on their way to the Russian Empire. There is actually no one in ten who can walk to Siberia on foot.

Even if you get to a place by chance, you may not be able to save your life. The tsarist government often forgets to distribute the necessary supplies.

Exiles with thin clothes and bare hands, want to survive in the icy Siberia, they must also experience the dual test of nature and belly.

To borrow from Leo Tolstoy’s evaluation: The most significant significance of the Czarist government’s exile policy is to add “fertilizer” to the land of the Russian Empire.

Fortunately, it is winter now, and the temperature in the Russian Empire is low enough, otherwise the tsarist government would have been plagued by the plague.

That is to say, the virus has not evolved this year. If you have experienced the power of the new crown and SARS, the custody of the czarist government will not dare to play like this.

Of course, with the medical capabilities of these years and the sparsely populated nature of the Russian Empire, it is estimated that a pandemic has broken out, and it will not be discovered.

What is the death rate of an infected person, what is the difference from a cold? The lethality that can be achieved by the common influenza is only strange if it can attract attention.

What is really shocking is the kind of highly lethal virus that disappears directly from a village or a small town, such as the plague.

Needless to say, the French-Russian hatred has added another stroke. After watching the lively melon-eating people, they have also turned into gangsters, standing on the commanding heights of morality and pointing the country.

Unwilling to be lonely, the literati and writers, even more attentively, one after another open letter appeared in the newspaper. Regardless of whether the French and Russian government leaders can see it, it will not affect everyone's creative enthusiasm.

The news media did not forget to contribute to the flames. Today they criticized the Russians for brutality, and tomorrow they criticized the French for unruly.

In short, both France and Russia have become big villains, and they belong to the common object of rejection. It can be seen that political correctness is still important in continental Europe.

The public opinion anticipated by the French government did not appear on one side, and they even fell into a disadvantage in the public opinion of the member states of the Anti-French Alliance.

No matter how much the Russian army did, they couldn't stand the whitewashing of the Spring and Autumn Period. Taking the Holy Roman Empire as an example, the newspapers subconsciously ignored the tragic experience of the French people during their exile.

News needs notarization, but the news person has a standpoint. France is the enemy and the Russians are allies, so it goes without saying who they tend to.

The conscience of journalists makes them reluctant to distort the facts, but selective reporting is still possible.

History can be said to be surprisingly similar. A similar scene has also appeared in the original time and space, but time and victims have changed.

A sentence of political correctness can cover up any crime. Identity determines the position. The tragic experience of the French people is actually still paying for the previous acts of aggression.

After the avalanche, no snowflake is innocent. There is also no snowflake that can escape the punishment of natural law.

...

In a blink of an eye, 1895 came to an end again. The war from the beginning of the year to the end of the year, from the Philippines to the Far East, then to Cuba, then Morocco, and finally to France.

Wars broke out on four continents at the same time, which is rare in human history. The scope and population involved are no less than the previous European War.

It's Christmas again, the outside world is raging, and Vienna is still bustling. The celebration banquet ended in a hurry, and Franz came to the highest point of the palace alone, looking into the distance.

People are most easily sentimental when they are old. Both generations are over 90 years old together, Franz had to admit that he was old.

Even if it is well maintained, the years are not forgiving. In his sixtieth year, Franz could no longer find the vigor of his youth.

"Maybe it's time to retire."

Franz thought to himself.

It's not enough to refuse to accept the old. This is not the age of mythology. The only extraordinary trace of the whole world is oneself, an unscientific traverser.

Even if you want to emulate the ancient empire and unrealistically pursue the delusion of longevity, there is no goal to find!

Once a person is "tired" or "tired", he wants to rest, and Franz is no exception.

In recent years, he has been strengthening the training of his sons and is preparing for this day.

It's just that Franz can't retreat now, the territory of the Holy Roman Empire is really too big, and the accompanying problems are also many.

Some problems can be left to future generations, but there are also some problems that must be handled by his powerful emperor. Otherwise, it will become a chronic illness in later life.

But before that, the last stumbling block in front of the Holy Roman Empire must be kicked off.

Before stabilizing the world situation and kicking out the unstable factors, Franz did not dare to make major changes internally. Being always in awe is also an important factor for him to be able to come now.

After making up his mind, Franz was relieved a lot.
