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

In this world of the jungle, it is far more reliable for countries to speak with their fists than any big truth.

If the Russians can be defeated on the battlefield, then things are still negotiable; If it is defeated again, then from now on, France will be at ease as a small third-rate country without military power!

For the sake of the future of the country and the nation, the French now have to fight to the death. If you want to regain everyone's respect, you can only fight back from the battlefield with a knife and gun.

The French government has no way out, so why not the tsarist government?

The prestige of the Russian Empire shocked the world, and it relied on the head iron. If they retreat at the slightest difficulty, why should they make the countries of Europe jealous?

This Franco-Russian war was created by the Russians themselves. If even a defeated and declining France could not be managed, the face of the tsarist government would be disgraced.

If you lose face, you will lose it, and the deterrent power to the outside world must not be weakened. Looking through the history books of the Russian Empire, it is a history of war expansion.

In the process of continuous expansion, the Russians also offended their neighbors many times. It is true that no one dares to mess with the powerful Russian Empire, but once it falls into decline, it is different.

The First Russo-Prussian War was the best example of this, when the Russian Empire had just shown signs of fatigue and its neighbors from all sides pounced.

If it weren't for the Vienna government's intervention at a critical moment and pulling them along, there would be no Russian Empire now.

The lessons of history are there, and it is impossible for the tsarist government not to learn them. What's more, this time is different from the past, and the current HRE Empire no longer needs to be warm with Russia.

Again, Vienna is far more likely to fall into the ground than to bring them ashore.

Both sides had reasons for the need to win, and as soon as the Franco-Russian war broke out, the bloodiest scene took place.

In order to clear the area and avoid being attacked by endless guerrillas, the Russian troops stationed in Paris insisted on withstanding international pressure and sacrificed the most simple and effective Lianzhu Dafa.

However, when the guerrillas attacked them, the residents of the villages and towns in the surrounding five kilometers did not report it, and all of them had to sit together. Even in a metropolis like Paris, when attacked by guerrillas, the entire street is held responsible.

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

Exiling Siberia to dig potatoes seems to leave a line, but in fact there is only a conceptual gap between sending them directly to God.

The discipline of the bureaucrats of the tsarist government is well known, and they often treat their own people with restraint and abuse, let alone against the enemy.

Insufficient supplies are necessary, the old, weak, sick and disabled are loaded on the ship together, without any medical assistance measures, and fever and cough will be thrown into the sea to feed the fish.

The exiled French, often on their way to the Russian Empire, had already lost one-third of their number. There are actually not one in ten people who can walk to Siberia on foot.

Even if they were lucky enough to get to the place, they would not necessarily be able to save their lives, and the tsarist government often forgot to distribute the necessary supplies.

Poorly dressed and bare-armed, exiles must survive in the icy Siberia through the trials of nature and their belly.

To borrow a phrase from Leo Tolstoy: the greatest significance of the exile policy of the tsarist government was to add "fertilizer" to the lands of the Russian Empire.

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

That is, the virus has not evolved in these years, and if it had learned the power of the new crown and SARS, the tsarist government would not dare to play like this.

Of course, with the medical ability of these years, coupled with the vast and sparsely populated nature of the Russian Empire, it is estimated that if there is an outbreak of an epidemic virus, it will not be discovered.

What percentage of the mortality rate of an infected person, what is the difference between that and a cold? It is no wonder that the lethality of the common flu can be achieved, and it can attract attention.

What is really appalling is the kind of high-kill viruses that disappear directly from a village or a small town, such as the plague.

Needless to say, Franco-Russian hatred has been added to it. The people who have seen enough of the lively melon-eating masses have also turned into mouth cannon parties, one by one standing on the commanding heights of morality to guide the country.

The literati and writers who were unwilling to be lonely did not hesitate to squander their pen and ink, and one open letter after another appeared in the newspaper. Regardless of whether the high-level officials of France and Russia can see it, it will not affect everyone's enthusiasm for creation.

The news media did not forget to add fuel to the fire, one day attacking the Russians for their brutality, and the next day for the French for being unruly.

In short, France and Russia have become villains and belong to the object of everyone's common spurning. It can be seen that political correctness is still important on the European continent.

The French government's expected public opinion did not show up, and they even fell behind in the public opinion of the members of the anti-French alliance.

No matter how excessively the Russian army did, it could not withstand the whitewashing of the Spring and Autumn brushwork. In the case of the Holy Roman Empire, for example, the newspapers subconsciously ignored the tragic plight of the French people during their exile.

News needs to be notarized, but journalists have a position. The French are enemies, the Russians are allies, and it is self-evident who they tend to.

The conscience of journalists makes them reluctant to distort the facts, but selective reporting, everyone can still do it.

History can be said to be strikingly similar, and similar scenes have occurred in the original time and space, but the time and victims have changed.

With a word of political correctness, any evil can be covered up. Identity determines the position, and the current misery of the French people is still in fact paying for the previous aggression.

After an avalanche, not a single snowflake is innocent. In the same way, there is not a single snowflake that can escape the punishment brought by the laws of nature.

……

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

The outbreak of war on four continents at the same time is rare in the history of mankind. The scope and population involved are no less than the previous European wars.

It's Christmas again, and the outside world is full of war, but Vienna is still bustling. After a hurried end to the celebratory feast, Franz went alone to the top of the palace and looked into the distance.

When people are older, they are most likely to be sentimental. Both of them were over 90 years old, and Franz had to admit that he was old.

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

"Maybe it's time to retire."

Franz thought to himself.

It's not okay to be old, this is not the age of mythology, the only extraordinary trace in the whole world is that of yourself, an unscientific traverser.

Even if you want to emulate the ancient empire and unrealistically chase the delusion of immortality, there is no goal to be found!

Once people are "tired" and "tired", they want to rest, and Franz is no exception.

In recent years, he has been strengthening the training of his sons, just in preparation for this day.

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

There are some problems that can be left to posterity, but there are also some problems that must be dealt with by him, a powerful emperor. Otherwise, in the afterlife, it will become a stubborn disease.

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 destabilizing factors, Franz did not dare to make major changes at home easily. Always having a sense of awe is also an important factor in his ability to get to where he is now.

Having made up his mind, Franz felt a lot more relaxed.
