Alexander accepted the advice of his ministers, but he did not want to go directly to the war.

Austria-Hungary has temporarily chosen to back down on the Balkan issue, and there is no major conflict between Russia and Austria.

If I had to say anything, it was only Galicia.

The Tsar had some ideas about this part of the land, but it was not yet to the point of going to war to seize it.

For the sake of a non-very important interest, he risked a fight with a great power of the same level, and a tough person like the tsar would not have made such a move.

War is always about gains.

Moreover, the tsar had always had illusions about Austria-Hungary, believing that both were monarchies blocked by Britain on the mainland, and that they should support each other, otherwise they would not have sent troops to suppress the Hungarian rebellion a few years ago.

Compared with Galicia, the Balkans were the most important thing for Russia, and as soon as the bourgeois reforms were completed, the Ottomans would be beaten, and the fight against Austria-Hungary would undoubtedly be quite delayed.

Thinking of this, Alexander once again had people reject Prussia's request for an alliance.

But this did not mean that the Tsar would not move Austria-Hungary, he just wanted to see if he could solve the problem in a relatively "gentle" way.

Alexander then sent messengers to Austria-Hungary, ordering them to make unconditional peace with Prussia.

Five days later, Austria-Hungary's response came, simple: refusal.

This reply was expected by Alexander, and they were only looking for a reason to send troops.

Austria-Hungary now has the advantage, and it is certainly not possible to persuade them to withdraw their troops by mouth artillery, and they will more or less use force.

There was no need to call Milyutin to inquire, Alexander knew the state of his country's armaments.

In the past month or so, Russia has completed all the preliminary mobilization work, and the number of troops deployed on the Austro-Hungarian border has reached as many as 750,000, and it is not afraid of fighting any country.

Annoyed, the tsar immediately ordered the White Russian and Ukrainian armies to launch an offensive against Galicia, making sure to teach Franz "a lesson".

The reason why Hungary was chosen instead of Hungary was that Hungary's borders with Bessarabia and Romania were mostly mountainous, which made it difficult to attack.

The main reason is that it is not Hungarian territory.

Galicia, although to the east, is part of Neletania and is not under the rule of St. Stephen's Crown.

Hungary is currently empty of troops, and it is enough to defend its homeland, and it may not be able to help Austria defend Galicia.

Sure enough, as expected, when the Russian army entered here, it was only intercepted by the Royal Local Defense Army, and the other side could not even assemble a full legion.

The terrain of Galicia can be described as extremely flat, and when the military is absolutely at a disadvantage, everything is already doomed.

After just a week of fighting, Russia was able to capture the area.

During this week, Austria-Hungary launched a fierce attack on Prussia regardless of casualties, but unfortunately it did not achieve much success, let alone Berlin, and even Silesia could not be fully controlled.

When Russia sent a diplomatic note again, Boist only wanted to give the high-spirited Russian envoy two punches, but unfortunately the only thing he could do was convey it to the emperor.

“…… So Russia invited not only us, but also the British, French, and Prussian... They want to preside over the overall peace talks. Franz didn't hear much emotion in his words.

He did what he thought he had to do.

With a combined population more than twice that of the North German Confederation, it is incredible that Prussia was able to fight back and forth, and even slightly prevail.

There is nothing to complain about if the skills are not as good as people.

Fortunately, they achieved their intended goal - to drive Prussian power out of South Germany, perhaps not completely, but not in vain.

"Where is the place to negotiate?"

"St. Petersburg."

Just as Boist counted his assistants and was about to make a personal trip to St. Petersburg, a new change took place in Paris, France.

In just six months, the rule of Paris changed four times.

Compared with the previous stage, Bonaparte's defense forces were still weak.

The soldiers who carried out military control changed from loyal members of the Self-Defense Forces to the Bazin regiment who had come down from the Franco-Prussian battlefield.

Field Marshal Bazin openly expressed his support for Nazin, but the legion was not his personal property.

The soldiers carried out various activities in Paris, and inevitably intersected with various groups of people.

The vast majority of them were speaking ill of Bonaparte, and they were rightly founded.

The soldiers also remembered that it was precisely because of the emperor's command mistakes that they spent more than two months in the dark Metz Fortress.

When they were trapped, the emperor not only did not come to rescue them, but led his army to surrender!

This feeling of humiliation and betrayal will not be forgotten by every soldier of Bazin's regiment.

Even if they were exchanged back to Paris this time, offering them three good food and drink, and giving them bonuses, it would be difficult to reverse this bad feeling.

In addition to psychological factors, another important reason is that they have not clashed with the people to maintain the rule of the royal family, and they have not had French blood on their hands, so they do not have to worry about being liquidated afterwards.

All these factors combined, and anti-Bonaparte ideas spread wildly among Bazin's legions.

Both the Left and other royalists are trying to win them over.

Nasan noticed this dangerous signal, and at the end of March he dragged his sick body back and forth in the barracks every day, occasionally giving a speech.

Unfortunately, it had little effect.

On April 7th, Nasan inspected the barracks again and suddenly received a cold shot.

The bullets passed by, the emperor was not injured, and the soldier who fired the shot was killed on the spot.

But this could not be the end of the matter, Nasan was furious, and then returned to the Elysée Palace, demanding that the legions report each other and conduct a nationwide investigation of personal belongings and suspicious whereabouts.

That night, soldiers linked to the opposition were not reconciled to be arrested and clashed with members of the royal guard.

The number of such soldiers far exceeded Nasan's imagination, and the conflict quickly spread throughout the city and developed into a large-scale uprising.

Order in Paris was gone, and disgruntled soldiers stormed the Élysée Palace with guns.

However, when Nasan saw that the situation was out of control, he had already escaped with Eugenie on the path.

Faced with the empty palace, the soldiers, although regretting that they could not catch the emperor, celebrated the victory of the popular uprising and proclaimed the French republic!

However, they were not happy for long, and then government officials rushed to the Élysée Palace, arguing that France had never ceased to resist and that the Provisional Republican Government of South France was the legitimate government.

Paris should recognize it, and it should be left to the people of the whole country to decide whether the future will be the Third Reich or the Third Republic.

The soldiers all felt justified, and the Paris uprising was over.
