The chaos in Paris continues, and with no one yet to know who will win or lose, Franz is already worried about the choice of a new King of France.

There is no doubt that the candidates will definitely come from the three royal families. Except for these three, everyone else couldn't stop the scene.

The first to go out were the Bonapartes, and although they had the most supporters in the army, who made Napoleon IV the leader of the French Resistance?

As it turns out, throwing the pot is not an easy job either. Napoleon IV was unwilling to assume the responsibility of betraying the country in the war, and waved the banner of "punishing the thieves at home and defending sovereignty abroad", so he could only carry the banner of resistance to the end.

If you want to compromise, even if Napoleon IV is willing to change his position, the anti-French alliance will not agree!

Don't look at the fact that the Bonaparte dynasty ruled France for a short time, but except for the short-lived Napoleon II who didn't do anything, the remaining three emperors were not fuel-efficient lamps.

The lessons of history are still fresh in our minds, and no one wants another war against France. Against this background, the restless Bonaparte dynasty naturally became the first object of exclusion.

The range has been narrowed by one-third, but the difficulty of selection has not been reduced in the slightest. In theory, the Bourbons and Orleans were similar, but the reality was that Franz had to support orthodoxy, at least on the surface, and this was determined by his position under the ass.

If France is calm, you can stabilize the situation by choosing a rubber stamp at random, and Franz doesn't have to have a headache, just push one up and it's over.

It's a pity that the current French throne is a hot potato, and ordinary people can't roar when they go up. Not to mention the eloquence, at least it must be a master of internal struggle.

History did not tell him which of France's two royal families had this ability. It's all mixed into exile, and it is estimated that the emperor's academic gods have long been cut off. Unless you are self-taught, you can't play at all.

Identity aside, Napoleon IV was the most suitable for Franz. Although he is a loser, he has a strong talent for infighting!

From the seizure of power at the beginning of the pro-government, to the suppression of the domestic revolution, to the crackdown on domestic interest groups, and finally to get out of the pot in time before the defeat, this series of operations is enough to prove Napoleon IV's personal ability.

Franz didn't think he could do a better job if he had been in a good position. After all, the special circumstances of France did not give Napoleon IV the opportunity to establish his prestige at all, and the political struggle depended entirely on power schemes.

It is a pity that the most capable person happens to be the least suitable Lord.

Europe is a world of legal system, and the two dynasties of Bourbon and Orleans seem to have many members, but the real qualifications for the throne are in the single digits, and the chances of choosing a "qualified monarch" from these few people are too slim.

If you go back twenty years, Franz can also push Henry V of Bourbon. That's right, the one who gave up the throne because of a "rag".

If nothing else, at least people are smart enough. After a simple temptation, he knew that the throne was a hot potato, and decisively chose to give up.

Sadly, this wise Lord has seen God. What's even more tragic is that there is not even a descendant left, and the closest Bourbon bloodline is actually the Spanish royal family.

This does not mean that the Spanish royal family has a chance. When the Spanish royal family was restored, in order to gain the support of France, he made a deal with Napoleon III and voluntarily renounced the right to inherit the French throne.

Although the French orthodox believed that it was proclaimed under the pressure of the Bonaparte dynasty and had no legal effect; But other political factions don't agree!

The situation was tense, and both the Bourbons and Orleans were eager to recover, and the two political factions reached a compromise and jointly supported Henry V.

The situation is different now, and smart people can see that if they cannot win the support of the continental alliance, the revolutionary party that dances the most will definitely be finished. The Bonaparte dynasty was out early again, and the two of them were left to fight.

The Orleans faction insisted that the Spanish royal family had given up the right of inheritance, and that the other heirs of the Bourbon dynasty were all distant branches of the sidelines to support Philip, Count of Paris, who was the Count of Orleans.

A succession to the throne, the French themselves are confused, and Franz is even more confused. The problem now is: you can't choose the talents; If you choose a lot of supporters, you can't choose either.

"The Foreign Office put pressure on the French to reach a compromise as soon as possible and put out a king. Otherwise, the revolutionary party will become bigger, and there will be times when they cry. ”

If you can't choose, then simply let the French play freely. Anyway, it's all at this point, and no matter how bad it is, it's not much worse.

Foreign Secretary Wesenberg explained: "Your Majesty, I am afraid that the revolutionary party will not be able to scare them if it becomes bigger. The royalists have long been prepared, and now there are no less than 10,000 noble private troops in the city of Paris.

Coupled with the fact that they controlled the army, even if all the republican forces were combined, they were no match for them, not to mention that the revolutionary party was still in internal strife. ”

The fundamental reason for the strength of the royalist party is that the French people are not ready to accept the republic, and the main reason is naturally that "there is no worst, only worse".

With the present clumsiness of the revolutionary government in Paris, even if all the French were supporters of the republicans, they would now become royalists.

"The country is not mine, and when I get enough money, I will leave, and after I leave, he will be flooded."

Less than a year after coming to power, the revolutionary government completed the transformation of revolutionaries into bureaucrats. The worse the situation, the more ruthless the bureaucrats will be to make money, because they know that if they don't work hard, they won't have a chance.

The republicans were able to launch the second revolution with insight, but in fact they were forced to do nothing. The revolutionary government of Paris was rotten, and the royalists could be restored at any time, and it was too late to reform from within, they had to tear down and rebuild.

Thinking of the performance of the French royalists, Franz now only feels "tired". It's just a bunch of pig teammates, do you really think that the King of France is so good that anyone can withstand it?

The millions of refugees outside are still waiting to be fed, the domestic economy is in collapse, and the whole of France is a powder keg that can explode with a little spark.

If it weren't for the large number of prisoners of war held by the anti-French alliance, it is estimated that the wolf smoke of civil war would have risen long ago. Now a large group of people still have the heart to fight for the heir.

"Humph!"

After a cold snort, Franz said fiercely: "Tell them that they must establish an heir within the year no matter what, or they will wait to go hungry!" ”

If it were a different object, Franz would definitely not play like that. To threaten others with grain is to force them to become self-reliant, or to find new grain exporters to replace them, even if the cost is high.

But France is different, if it weren't for the war, the food itself would be enough to eat. Even if the territory shrinks, it will not be a problem to feed the existing population.

This means that France is only a short-term customer, and whether food security is threatened or not, people will be self-sufficient in food in the future, and offending will be offended.

If the royalists really don't know the fun, then provoke a French civil war, let them fight in the dark, and finally come out to clean up the mess.

……

The situation in France is not only in Vienna, but also in continental Europe. It is already very surprising that the Allies did not intervene in the first place.

Although it is not believed that the French will be able to turn the tables at this time, once the revolutionary government in Paris falls, if the new government does not fulfill the treaty, I am afraid that it will be another storm.

London, Downing Street.

Unlike in the past, the situation in Paris was turbulent, and the British government behaved with extreme coldness, as if it had nothing to do with them.

In fact, even if the British government wants to intervene now, it does not know who to support or who it can support.

To put it mildly, even if they were willing to help, the French would not dare to ask for it. The Allies were stationed just outside Paris, and whoever hooked up with the British would be the first to be finished.

Just because you can't intervene doesn't mean you're unprepared. The government-in-exile led by Napoleon IV is now the biggest pawn in the hands of the British government. It's just that this chess piece is too smart, and simple flickering won't work at all.

You know, Napoleon IV was also a master with successful restoration experience, and he successfully extinguished a great revolution that year. If it hadn't been for the withdrawal of all the Allied forces, he would have been killed a long time ago, and the revolutionaries alone would not have been able to stop him.

Prime Minister Gladstone: "There is no sign of action on the part of the Bonaparte dynasty, and Napoleon IV is more calm than we think."

Now it depends on whether the revolutionaries are strong enough, and if the second revolution succeeds and inflicts a heavy blow on the royalists in the country, then we still have a chance. ”

The anti-French alliance did not like the Bonapartes, but they did not like the republican government even more. If the situation is really out of control, everyone can only pinch their noses and admit that the Bonaparte dynasty wants to be restored, which is how Napoleon III's restoration was operated.

Once the Bonaparte dynasty was restored, Britain planted another nail in the coffin on the European continent. Although it cannot play a role in the short term, the competition between countries is not overnight, but for decades or even hundreds of years.

"Prime Minister, I think it's best to put this issue on hold for now. Vienna was pressuring the royalists to reach a compromise to determine the king's choice.

Although the French royalists were divided into three, they still had the same interests in the face of the republicans. Once a compromise was reached in Vienna, the Bonapartes had no chance.

Against this background, I am not suitable to emerge in advance. If there is a mistake in judgment, then the already bad Anglo-French relations will become even more irreconcilable. ”

It's not that George is making a big fuss, the main thing is that France is the most likely anti-Austrian country on the European continent, or the only country that will.

The rest of the countries, not to mention their strength, have insufficient "motives" to oppose Austria. There is no hatred, there is no sufficiently large conflict of interest, who is full of food and runs to the hegemon for no reason?

The repair of Anglo-French relations was almost the first and most important step in Britain's return to Europe. If you're on the wrong side of the throne, you won't want to take that first step for decades.

"Now is the time to do blend. However, not being able to interfere on the surface does not mean that it cannot be operated in secret.

There were quite a few people in France who were unhappy with Vienna, so they first sent people to contact them secretly, and selected some of them to invest, purely as an idle move.

As long as the seeds of hatred are perpetuated, sooner or later they will take root and sprout. Maybe at any time, it will be able to play a key role. ”

Deep down, Gladstone didn't want to toss like that. But there is no way, Britain needs to protect itself.

Seeing the Holy Roman Empire in full swing, the days of the empire on which the sun never sets are not easy. If you don't lay it out, you'll have to stage "the sun sets".

Although this kind of thing is the next term, or the trouble of the next term, or even the next ... Ren's troubles; But as a qualified prime minister, Gladstone still wants to extend Britain's hegemony for a little longer.
