With the support of the father, the French revolutionary movement rose again. The life of misery provides the soil for the survival of the spread of revolutionary ideas.

Without waiting for the French government to react, a massive anti-war and anti-hunger movement began in Paris and quickly spread throughout the country.

If one looks closely, one thing will be interesting: the people who were most in favor of the war in the first place and those who are most against it now are actually the same wave of people.

People are still those people, and the only thing that has changed is that many traces of time have been added to everyone's faces. It can be seen that everyone's life has not been very good for more than a year.

Originally thought that the war was swept away by the autumn wind, it turned out to be a war of attrition, and a large number of French guys went to the battlefield, including their relatives.

It would have been enough to continue to win victories on the battlefield, but the result now is that the French army continues to rout. The misery of life, coupled with the fear of loved ones, forced everyone to stand up against the war.

If nothing happens, after the armistice treaty is signed, it will be this wave of people who are dissatisfied with the terms of the cessation and jump out to demand that the traitors be punished.

It can only be said that the government of Napoleon IV was unlucky and happened to coincide with the most confused times of French thought.

Just as the revolutionary movement was raging, on September 1, 1891, a massive uprising broke out in Rome. Unlike any previous uprising against France, the leaders of this uprising became aristocrats and missionaries.

The wall fell down and everyone pushed it, and seeing that the French were about to finish, the local Italian powerhouses, who had long been dissatisfied with the French, finally took practical action.

At the beginning of the uprising, the Italian soldiers in the defending army were rebelled, and with the Church as a cover, the rebels quickly captured the city of Rome.

After the success of the uprising, Pope Leo XIII, as the religious leader, issued the Declaration of Counter-Aggression in the Vatican, calling on all Italians to rise up and expel the French.

After receiving the news, Franz's first reaction was that the climax of the Italian independence movement was coming, and without any hesitation, he immediately ordered the division of troops to attack south to support the Italian national liberation movement.

……

At Versailles, the deteriorating situation had finally pushed Napoleon IV to the brink, and it was time to make a choice.

War Minister Luschinia: "With the fall of Rome, the situation in Italy is a foregone conclusion, and at the moment we do not have enough troops to clean up the mess in Italy.

The War Office suggested temporarily abandoning the Italian region, retreating to the Alps, and shrinking its forces back to defend its homeland. Even the battle for the defense of Turin, which was scorched, was no longer necessary. ”

The facts are in front of us, Italy, which was once the infinite glory of the Great French Empire, has now become a quagmire. Continuing to be trapped in it has no value except for the waste of national power.

Militarily, retreating to the Alps is undoubtedly the best option. France could secure the southern front with minimal troops, and then invest the forces it saved on other battlefields.

Being militarily the best is not the same as being politically optimal. In a sense, there is little difference between France abandoning Italy and conceding in the towel.

After the loss of Italy, France's weakness was completely exposed, and it is conceivable that the anti-French alliance would not give up this opportunity to fall into the ground.

Those countries that did not contribute to the work, but only made up the number, will also rush to pounce on France at this moment and tear off a piece of meat from France.

What is known is known, but no one objected. It is clear to everyone that the question is no longer whether to abandon the Italian region, but how to deal with the aftermath.

Glancing at the crowd, Napoleon IV said slowly: "Well, let's implement the plan of the War Department!"

It seems that Austria is preparing to re-establish those Italian states, you should know what to do next, right? ”

"Your Majesty, please rest assured. We'll take care of it and leave no ...... for the enemy."

Seeing that Napoleon IV's mood was not high, he seemed to be a little impatient, and Luskinia's words came to an abrupt end.

Needless to say, I also know that it is naturally sabotage. For a long time to come, the restored Italian state will be an enemy of France. While there is still an opportunity, it is natural to weaken these potential enemies.

In a sense, the more devastation France is now, the more money will be needed for post-war reconstruction. Naturally, the Italian states had no money, and the trouble fell to Austria.

As for the retaliation of France after the war, joking, as if if you don't do it now, the enemy will show mercy.

Since the outbreak of the war, France and Austria have secretly contacted several times, but they have not been able to reach an agreement, otherwise the war would have ended long ago.

I really thought that France would have an iron head, and he would not cry when he saw the coffin. In fact, it was not Austria's conditions that were too harsh for the Paris government to accept, and it was not until now.

Then, everyone reluctantly found that the war thing really couldn't be delayed. As the French army continued to lose on the battlefield, the conditions in Austria became more and more demanding, and the bottom line gap between the two sides was a big one.

If the Viennese government had given in and used the terms of the armistice six months ago, no, even if it had been three months earlier, Napoleon IV would have agreed in one go.

There was no way, and on the terms of cessation half a year ago, Austria demanded that France give up French Africa, restore Central Europe to the pre-war borders, and pay a certain amount of war reparations.

None of the French troops were defeated, and most of French Africa was still in the hands of the French army, so such conditions were naturally unacceptable to the Paris government.

Three months ago it was different, French Africa could no longer satisfy Austria's appetites, and not only increased the war reparations, but also demanded that France give up Italy.

Naturally, the Paris government did not dare to agree to such a humiliating condition. As a result, before they could react, the French army ushered in two defeats on the front line, and then Russia, Spain, and Sweden were also pulled into the chariot by Austria.

The conditions for further contact with Austria were even more excessive, not only with the previous conditions, but also with territorial claims to the French mainland.

And, it's not just a star. Not only Austria wants to take back the HRE homeland, but the surrounding neighbors are also to follow suit.

Needless to say, if Napoleon IV dared to agree to this condition of making France smaller, the Palace of Versailles would definitely change its owner.

Prime Minister Terence Bulkin: "Your Majesty, those guys seem to have sensed something, and they have all lived in seclusion, and some have even left Paris.

In addition, the revolutionary party has suddenly become active, and the shadow of the revolutionary party has been found in many recent strikes and violent incidents.

The forces of the revolutionary party alone are not capable of planning so many actions, and there must be other forces behind them.

They are the only ones who have the ability and motivation to do such things. If we don't take action, they're probably going to do it. ”

It can be seen that Terrance Bullin is very jealous of the consortium, and even uses a proxy when discussing matters.

There is no way, the last politician who openly advocated the suppression of conglomerates is now grass on his grave.

There was also the responsibility of Napoleon IV, who was busy seizing power when he was pro-government, and was exploited by the conglomerates, and the factions in the government that advocated the suppression of the conglomerates were marginalized.

By the time Napoleon IV reacted, the political forces advocating the suppression of the consortium had collapsed under the consortium's Jinyuan offensive.

There is no way, the discipline of politicians is so high. In the era of Napoleon III, there was a strong emperor who pressed the politicians who dared to get closer to the consortium went home to farm, and if they wanted to mix in the officialdom, they had to hate the consortium.

The saying that "once a son of heaven and a courtier" may be a little exaggerated in continental Europe. However, Napoleon IV was not a normal change of imperial power, there was a period of regency in the middle, and the Bonaparte family had no one to control the overall situation, and it was inevitable that there would be a change of power after the pro-conquest.

Napoleon IV, who was young and vigorous, was far less politically mature than it is now, and the Bonaparte dynasty was not assisted by powerful figures, so it was inevitable that he would be exploited.

This is somewhat similar to Chongzhen, but he is too busy seizing power and forgetting to maintain a balance between political factions.

However, Napoleon IV's political skills were still stronger, and in the later political struggles, he quietly supported the political forces of his lineage.

If the Great Revolution hadn't broken out in the middle of the way, maybe the consortium would have been slowly abolished by him. After all, the consortium is only formed by capitalists because of their interests, and they can also be split because of interests, and their cohesion is very poor.

After hesitating for a moment, Napoleon IV nodded: "Ready to launch!" At this point, we can only gamble. ”
