Naturally, the Berlin government would not only look to Austria for international support, but almost at the same time, all European countries received invitations from the Berlin government.

What everyone thinks in their hearts, no one knows, anyway, they are condemning the "robbers" with righteous words.

If Spit Star had been able to kill, the Russian Cossack cavalry would probably have died by now.

Diplomacy is in action, and the people's momentum is not idle. The Berlin government bought pages from newspapers with photos of Russian atrocities and heart-rending complaints from survivors.

These performances were not in vain, the Berlin government won the sympathy of the European population, and public opinion blamed the Russians one-sidedly, and even the pro-Russian media did not speak.

Many media outlets accepted the invitation of the Berlin government and sent war correspondents to collect first-hand information on the ground.

Not only that, but the Berlin government also choreographed the stage play "Robbers Are Rampant", which toured around the continent with the troupe.

The plot is roughly: in the happy village, a group of Russian robbers suddenly came, they burned, killed and looted, did all kinds of evil, the heroic people rose up to resist, how could they be outnumbered, in order to cover the evacuation of the children, everyone ......

In this era, there was too little entertainment, and the Vienna Opera House, which had been running for a week, still attracted a large audience.

Tragedy is always easy to move, the performance on the stage is more impactful than words, and after each performance, the ladies in the audience cry profusely.

If a fundraiser can be organized, the Berlin government will definitely gain a lot this time. Public opinion was mobilized, calls for intervention grew stronger, and pressure on the Austrian government increased.

Vienna Palace

Franz casually threw away a petition letter from the people, and asked depressedly: "Didn't the Russians react, such a big thing happened, didn't the tsarist government know to stand up and explain?" ”

In just one month, Franz received 286 joint petitions asking the Austrian government to stop the massacre.

Dozens of organizations, including the German Folk Cultural Exchange Association, the German Unification Committee, the Germanic Cultural Exchange Association, and the Cultural and Economic Promotion Association of the Holy Roman Empire, all hope that the Austrian government will intervene.

The reason is very simple, the victims are not only Poles, but also many Germanic people, who in the eyes of the nationalists are their own people, and the Russians cannot be allowed to do anything wantonly.

"Your Majesty, the tsarist government has also taken action, and the Russian Foreign Ministry has repeatedly refuted rumors, claiming that the Russian army did not participate in the massacre, and that it was all done by bandits in the Pop-Polish Federation.

The Russians acted too late, the tide of public opinion had already formed, and the Berlin government had ample evidence that it would be too difficult to reverse. Prime Minister Felix replied

Step by step, step by step, communication has remained the same in these years, news transmission has been slow, and the main channel for everyone to receive news is newspapers.

Once a preconceived notion has been formed, it is difficult to reverse it. Moreover, the Berlin government did not slander the Russians, they did it.

"The tsarist government is a bunch of idiots!" Franz blurted out directly

It can be seen that he is sincere. The reality is in front of us, and it is definitely not whitewashed, but it is not necessary to guide public opinion, as long as the competitors are pulled to the same level.

"Not admitting" is indeed a solution, the problem is that it is out of place!

If you change to a country with a good reputation, it is estimated that some people can still be fooled, with the credibility of the tsarist government, who will believe them when they say it?

Replaced Franz, directly imitated the Berlin government, collected the atrocities of the Prussian army, carried out artistic processing, magnified things a hundred times, and spent money to buy newspapers to publish them.

No matter how many people believe, build up the momentum first. It is a well-known secret that European armies have a tradition of plundering anyway.

can't wash their reputation, so they pull each other into the water together. Everyone went dark, and the matter was settled.

"Your Majesty, not only domestic public opinion, but also public opinion in other countries is very unfavorable to the Russians, especially France, which is the most troublesome.

Just three days ago, 50,000 Parisians gathered on the Place de la Versailles to demand the government's intervention in the war.

This is not the first time, according to the embassy, there have been 48 demonstrations in France this month, half of which have asked the Paris government to intervene.

Five days earlier, a demonstration had erupted in London, but not as many people as in France.

Judging from the current situation, if the tsarist government cannot break the situation, it is estimated that it will not be long before the governments of various countries will intervene. Weissenberg analyzed

The French people are still so enthusiastic that it is estimated that Napoleon IV now has the heart to cry. Taking the initiative to intervene and being forced out by public opinion to intervene are two completely different concepts.

An emperor cannot control the government's diplomacy, but has to be swayed by public opinion, and no one can stand such a thing.

Once it is discovered that public opinion can influence government decision-making, I am afraid that similar things will continue in the future.

Governments did not intervene in the first place, and I am afraid that there are also countries that do not want the outside world to think that they are swayed by public opinion.

To some extent, the Berlin government's plan has succeeded, but it has also failed.

While gaining the support of various countries, it has also offended the high-level governments of various countries. There will definitely be interference, and it will be difficult to say that the intervention will go that far.

"If possible, I suggest that the intervention of States be delayed as long as possible. In recent times, the Migration Department has received nearly 50,000 migrants from Russians.

Although most of these people were old and weak, women and children, they were still a great supplement to the colonies where labor was scarce. Colonial Chancellor Stephen said

50,000 immigrants are not worth much, if it is 50,000 immigrants of the main ethnic group, it is different.

Austrian Africa was the lifeblood of the Vienna government, which was always interested in controlling ethnic proportions. 50,000 immigrants may not seem like much, but in fact it has increased the proportion of the main population by two thousand points.

This is just a simple numerical calculation, and the real impact will be even greater. In order to speed up national integration, Austria has always dispersed the resettlement of immigrants, and there are countless cross-ethnic marriages.

Visible benefits, the Colonial Department was naturally unwilling to give up.

After a moment of hesitation, Franz put away his conscience: "Tell the tsarist government that international intervention is coming.

If they don't want to be sanctioned, they should quickly expose the atrocities of the Prussian army and muddy the water first. ”

When national interests are involved, Franz cannot be irrational. Since the tsarist government did not know what to do, it was better to hand them over.
