As the Allied forces continued to withdraw, law and order in France deteriorated dramatically. The revolutionary government of Paris, which had just taken power, clearly lacked the experience of governance, and the response it took was even more ironic.

For example: the Economic Recovery Act, the Employment Act, the Social Assistance Act......

These seem to be good measures, but in fact they ignore the feasibility. Whether it is to restore the economy, increase the employment rate, or social assistance, it is inseparable from money.

It just so happens that France just doesn't have money right now. The European War not only impoverished the French government, but even the private consortia were so demoralized that they were unable to finance the Paris government.

I don't have money to print money, and I don't know which genius came up with the idea. The small currency of 1 franc and 2 franc has long since disappeared from the stage of history, and the zero on the franc has been increasing since the success of the Paris Revolution.

In France, where everyone is a billionaire, it is no news to carry a bag of money to buy bread.

No matter how hard ordinary people try, they can't keep up with inflation. As the Times described, the franc increases by a zero every month.

The economy had collapsed, and the revolutionary government in Paris was still fighting among themselves. President Robert, as the scapegoat, has long been ousted by the angry French people, and now the seventeenth president of the French Republic - Baptiste.

On average, there are two governments per month, which truly reflects the fact that "the emperor takes turns to do it, and he will come to my house next year". Suffice it to say, any political faction with a little bit of energy has had a president.

However, the final outcome is the same, no matter who comes to power, it will not last long, let alone control the situation.

Hanging a cigar and puffing through the clouds, President Baptiste asked, "When will the aid from the European Union be delivered?" ”

France had no money, and the only way out of its financial predicament was to turn to the international community. There is no doubt that the only one who can help them in the current situation is the continental Union.

Although the British also have money, John Bull's money is hot! The current overlord of the European continent is the Holy Roman Empire, and if he goes to entangle with the British, he is looking for death.

Foreign Minister Fernández: "Very sorry, Your Excellency. The Continental Union has issued an ultimatum ordering us to decide on a king within a month and restore the monarchy.

If we fail to meet their demands, not only will there be no international aid, but we may also be sanctioned by the alliance.

Just yesterday morning, Chekov, head of the Grain Council of the Holy Roman Empire, issued a "White Paper on Grain Exports," which lowered the total amount of grain planned to be exported to our country in the second half of the year by one million tons. ”

Theoretically, after abandoning the Italian region, France was no longer short of food. But this was only theoretical, as French agricultural production was devastated by the war, and food had to be imported internationally.

The Holy Roman Empire's monopoly on the European grain trade was not a day or two, and with the birth of the European Continental Union, this monopoly was pushed to the extreme.

As a strengthened version of the EU, the Customs Union is naturally indispensable. Agricultural products from American countries that want to import to France also have to pay high tariffs.

If the tariffs are collected by the French government, these are not a problem. Unfortunately, France's tariff power, as part of the sinking fund, has long since fallen into the hands of the anti-French coalition.

Tax evasion is impossible, and it involves its own interests, and the Vienna government is very close to the import of foreign agricultural products and industrial and commercial products. Even if someone wants to smuggle it, they can only take it from their own house.

Against this background, the Holy Roman Empire's downward adjustment of grain exports to France was undoubtedly a fatal blow to the Paris government.

Once the food input is insufficient, the Great Famine breaks out, which can swallow the revolutionary government of Paris in an instant.

"We've put so much effort into it, isn't it working?"

With that, Baptiste closed his eyes. The facts are in front of us, but if a few countries in the alliance help them speak, they will not fall to the point where they are now.

As a member of the republican faction, Baptiste had no way to compromise on the issue of restoration.

In fact, even if the revolutionary government of Paris was willing to compromise, it would not be fruitful for a while.

It seems that the republicans are in power, but in fact the royalists are the most important in the government. If it weren't for the close strength of the three royalist parties and the containment of each other, there would have been nothing to do with the republicans.

Foreign Minister Fernández waved his hand and said helplessly: "This is the responsibility of the Bonaparte dynasty, and all the countries of Europe have been offended by them, so that it is difficult for us to carry out our diplomatic work."

Changing this situation will not happen overnight. Unless the European Revolution strikes again, ......"

The Bonaparte dynasty offended many countries, and the revolutionary government of Paris offended many countries as well. The mere three words "revolutionary party" are enough to arouse strong dissatisfaction among everyone.

Revolutions are also contagious, and the European Union was keen to promote the Restoration of France, essentially to curb the spread of revolutionary ideas.

Baptiste interrupted: "Don't say it, now is not the time to export revolutionary ideas. As soon as we begin to export revolutionary ideas, it is estimated that the Russians outside Paris will immediately come to the door and guillotine us!

It's not that I'm afraid, it's mainly that the power of the monarchy and feudal system is too strong now, and we don't have the ability to collide with them in a short period of time, so there is no need to make fearless sacrifices. ”

Prime Minister Michael McCl warned: "Your Excellency the President is right, and it is indeed not time to go head-to-head with the enemy.

The most important thing for us right now is to address the problem of refugees and unemployment. In particular, the refugee problem has become a cancer that endangers national security.

Many local governments are no longer able to hold on, and if we don't come up with measures soon, they will have to bring refugees to Paris.

In fact, some places have already begun to do it. I took a spin in Paris and it was ten times worse than we had expected.

The relief food distributed by the government is simply not fully covered. Many places were already in disarray, and I witnessed three robberies in one morning.

This is still Paris, and the rest of the country is only getting worse. If we can't find a way to restore order as soon as possible, I'm afraid ......"

The problem is in front of us, and everyone can see it. It's a pity how to solve it, everyone is confused. If it could be done easily, France would not change governments frequently.

……

In the distance, a group of ragged people appeared on the horizon. There were men, women and children, and it was clear that this crowd of people who resembled an army of "beggars" had fled.

A middle-aged man at the head panted and said: "Paris is ahead, and we will have bread to eat when we get to the place!" ”

"Really? You won't let us eat grass roots and tree bark again! ”

The young man's immature face released a suspicious gaze, which made the middle-aged man very embarrassed.

"Of course it's true, this is Paris, our capital. The richest place in all of France, you can definitely find something to eat! ”

In fact, the middle-aged man has no bottom in his heart. Along the way, they have been hit too much, and they are almost numb.

Residents along the route regard them as flood beasts, and the so-called local government relief is only a piece of black bread or a potato every day. Not enough for a meal, let alone a day.

If they want to survive, they must not feed themselves on wild vegetables. Unfortunately, there were too many refugees, and the wild vegetables were quickly eaten, and in the end, they had to feed on tree bark and grass roots.

The middle-aged man, who didn't want to sit still, resolutely ran to Paris with his whole family, which has become their last hope.

The middle-aged man's family was not the first to arrive in Paris, nor will they be the last. Ever since the withdrawal of the main forces of the anti-French coalition, refugees have been pouring into Paris from all over the country.

The command of the Russian army outside Paris, who was looking into the distance, suddenly let out a sigh.

"There are more and more refugees in Paris, and I don't know if the French government can hold on."

Caring about the French government is not that he is pro-French. In fact, Admiral Yevgeny was a staunch anti-Frenchman.

If there is a reason, it is that his father and brother met God in the Battle of Crimea. The mixture of national enemies and family hatred is the reason why Yevgeny took the initiative to join the garrison.

It is not so much about the French government as it is about the reparations to be paid by the French government. Regardless of the fact that in the first year, Russia was able to distribute only a few million Aegis, but for the tsarist government, this was also an important income.

The fundamental purpose of the Russian army stationed in France is to ensure the normal fulfillment of the reparations. Once France was in chaos, Admiral Yevgeny's task was not complete.

"Your Excellency, Commander, you're thinking too much. If the French government can't hold on, it's better to go up with another one. It doesn't matter who wins or loses in the end, as long as they continue to meet their debts.

With this spare time, it is better to find a way to return to China with some specialties and earn some pocket money.

I think the French have good machinery and equipment, and I will definitely make a lot of money by taking the opportunity to close down a few factories and get their equipment back.

When the time comes......"

Before the middle-aged officer could finish speaking, Admiral Yevgeny interrupted: "Lieutenant General Andrei, if you get into the water in your brain, go and do it!" This kind of money-losing business, don't pull me in.

Dumping machinery and equipment, you can figure it out. Do you know that the domestic industrial standards are all Olympic standards, and who do you sell the French machinery to? ”

Industry standards are a hard hit. Regardless of whether domestic engineers will manipulate the machinery of the French, the key is that the industrial chain cannot be connected.

Raw material specifications, spare parts replacement, and whether the product meets market standards need to be taken into account.

If you really want to move the machinery and equipment of France home, you have to move the entire industrial chain together. Obviously, this is not possible.

Relocation, installation and commissioning not only take time, but also require a lot of capital investment. It would take enough money to change the industrial chain of the whole country to bankrupt the tsarist government a hundred times.

It is impossible to relocate the industrial chain, just some industrial equipment, it is similar to scrap iron. If you dismantle machinery from Paris and return to China to sell scrap iron, there is a problem if you don't pay for it.

Of course, some low-tech industries with low demand for the industrial chain can still do this, but these industries are usually saturated.

It is not in the capitalists' interest to replace the machinery in their factories because the equipment they have stolen is cheaper.
