Although Japan and Spain each have the support of their bosses, it will take time to repair warships. The naval battle has come to an end for the time being, but the curtain of the land war has just begun.

I don't know whether to say that the Spaniards are eager to win, or they are the first to die. In short, the expeditionary force launched a full-scale counteroffensive and simultaneously launched landing operations on several islands.

The specific results of the battle were not announced, anyway, the Spanish expeditionary force was advancing all the way, except for a few large islands that were still in the hands of the Japanese army, the rest were recovered by the expeditionary force.

What exactly is going on, whether the Japanese have a conspiracy or not, Franz does not care at all. As long as the Philippine campaign drags on, and the longer it drags on, the better.

Not for war money. Both Japan and the West are poor ghosts, and no matter how much they squeeze, they can't squeeze a few drops of oil. The main thing is that it takes time to recover from the wounds of war, and the longer it drags on, the more say the Vienna government will have.

At the moment, Franz was most worried not about the situation in the South Seas, but about the restoration of France. Because of the relationship between the heirs, the three royalists are about to degenerate from human brains to monkey brains, and they actually let the new government grow big under their noses.

After the nobles reacted, they miraculously found that the enemy had reached out to the army. The fact that high-level officers cannot win over does not mean that grassroots officers and men cannot win over either.

Aware of the danger, the royalists finally knew to let go of their prejudices, but unfortunately it was too late. The revolutionaries took the first step, and many high-ranking royalists suffered accidents, and for a time the royalists were leaderless.

In addition to scolding a few pig teammates, Franz can only bite the bullet and help them deal with the aftermath. In other words, it is to gather the representatives of the three dynasties together and discuss who will clean up this mess.

Even Napoleon IV, who was in exile, came to Vienna to attend the meeting in the capacity of emperor in an open and honest manner, and it is estimated that ordinary people would not dare to think of it.

However, it all happened. In order to clean up the mess in France as soon as possible, the Vienna government also had to make compromises.

For example, the role of the Bonaparte dynasty in the European War was redefined.

Napoleon IV, who was originally the main person responsible for the war, was only held accountable because of his status as a monarch, has now become a pure and flawless little white flower.

War responsibility?

What doesn't exist, it's clear that the capitalists have held the emperor hostage and made decisions, how can the emperor be held responsible?

Napoleon IV's greatest responsibility was incompetence, and it was a shame that he was held hostage by the capitalists as a monarch.

However, he succeeded to the throne at a young age, and the auxiliary ministers were bought by the consortium, so that the emperor's power fell sideways, and what happened later.

Out of the responsibility of the monarch, for which His Majesty Napoleon IV is responsible, has decided to abdicate in the near future.

In order to avoid another situation in which the lord is weak and the minister is strong, the Bonaparte dynasty voluntarily gave up the inheritance right this time because the next generation of successors is young.

No matter how this explanation may be, Franz now believes it. Of course, this is also inevitable to drink a few more glasses, otherwise your conscience will not be able to pass! As for how many people out there will believe, that's none of his business.

In any case, the end result was that the Bonapartes abandoned the anti-Austrian flag, and the Viennese government recognized their right to inherit the French throne.

That's right, it's the "throne" and not the "throne", France itself is a kingdom, and it is clearly illegal to claim the throne. Now that the illegitimate regime has been overthrown, it is natural to restore orthodoxy.

This paradoxical explanation is certainly "unreasonable", but politics has never been justified.

In order to stabilize the situation in France, the new king could not do without the support of the Bonapartist faction, and compromise was inevitable.

Then the son of Napoleon IV became the third heir to the throne of France. If an accident happens to the heir of the Bourbon and Orleans dynasties, or if it is his turn in the end, the other members of the two dynasties cannot rob him.

Funny, right?

But that's politics!

It seems to be a struggle for the throne, but in fact it is also a redistribution of interests. The kings taking turns was a compromise between the three royalists.

On the surface, such an order of substitution Bonaparte undoubtedly suffered a big loss, and if it was not done well, it would be insulated from the throne forever.

In fact, it is not the case, the monarch in exile can live at ease, but it is different if he brings the government in exile. A large group of people have to be supported by the monarch, and no matter how big the family business is, it can't hold it!

Although Napoleon IV took a lot of money when he ran away, no amount of money could stand up to it. Especially after the tense situation in Paris, there was an endless stream of defectors, and the number of people of all ages was about to exceed 10,000.

Refuse, everyone is a "loyal minister" of the Bonaparte dynasty, and it will be chilling to do so; If they were all received, Napoleon IV could not afford to raise them.

Against this backdrop, Napoleon IV had no choice but to compromise if he did not want to go bankrupt. Only if the new government returns the property of these supporters and abandons its repression will it be able to get out of this trouble.

As an intelligent man, Napoleon IV naturally knew that after the emergence of the European Union, the political landscape in Europe had been stabilized, and it was impossible for the Bonaparte dynasty to be restored in a short time.

At least until the "red name" on the head is eliminated, no matter how good the opportunity is, it will be related to them. Rather than continue to carry it to the end and consume the last power in your hands, it is better to take the opportunity to sell it for a good price.

Reaching a political compromise not only got rid of the heavy economic burden, but also eliminated the "red name" on the head, and by the way, bought a wave of people's hearts.

How could an emperor who abdicated so that his subordinates could return to China and keep their family business not be supported?

It is conceivable that after this wave of operations, the cohesion of the Bonapartist will rise to a higher level, especially those who have returned from exile, and will remember this friendship.

Even for the sake of family reputation, these men would support the Bonaparte dynasty for a long time to come.

The throne was lost, and the succession came last, but the strength of the Bonapartist faction was restored.

If political whitewashing can succeed, the Bonapartist faction will be the most powerful political faction in France for a long time to come.

There are naturally advantages and disadvantages, and at the same time as buying the hearts and minds of the people, Napoleon IV also lost some of the hearts and minds. From the moment the compromise was reached, the Bonapartes stood in opposition to the radical revenge.

How well Sensei managed, in the eyes of radical revenge, it was all betrayal. Traitors are more annoying than enemies, and it is estimated that these people are eager to get rid of Napoleon IV at this moment.

These are what the Viennese government wants to see most, the French are too active, and if they don't fight inwardly, they will engage in outward fighting.

Franz was already satisfied with the political landscape of the European continent and did not want another continental war, so the hatred of the French was better kept in a cage.

After some bargaining, Carlos, a Bourbon supporter supported by the Viennese government, became the first in line to the throne, while the Orleanists introduced Fili as the second in line.

On the surface, the Bourbons made a lot of money, having two crowns at the same time, Spain and France, and overnight returned to their peak.

It's a pity that this is only on the surface, not to mention that the Carlos faction and the Spanish royal family have long been in flames, and the mess in France alone is enough to cause a headache.

Today is not the same as in the past, if only a few months ago the royalists had reached an agreement and had been approved by the anti-French coalition, the restoration would have been completed immediately; It's a pity that this good old time is gone, and if you want to restore it now, it will be a civil war.

……

"Kill!"

"Rush!"

"Da Da Da ......"

With shouts of killing and gunfire, Paris was once again plunged into chaos. After confirming that the royalists had agreed to restore the city, the new government immediately moved to purge the nobility in the city.

"Damn, the phone line doesn't work anymore. The enemy is clearly premeditated and wants to destroy each of us! ”

Knowing is knowing, Count Adrian can't do anything about what is happening in front of him.

The aristocratic private armies of Paris were not a small number, and if they could be united, they would not be comparable to the armed forces of the revolutionary party.

However, there is no "what if" in reality. The assembled aristocratic private army is indeed strong, but the scattered aristocratic private army is a different situation.

After a period of preparation, the original rabble revolutionary army has been reborn in combat effectiveness after absorbing the released prisoners.

The new government relied on the numerical superiority of the revolutionary army to strike first, and took the private army of the nobles by surprise.

If this is the case, it is not impossible for the aristocratic private army to turn the tables, after all, the revolutionary army is not only heavily armed, but also lacks qualified officers. Even if the quality of the soldiers is up, the combat effectiveness of ten points can be played by a maximum of five points.

It's a pity that human nature is complex, and the aristocracy is no exception. Everyone is worried that if they take the initiative to attack, others will not respond, and they will end up in a total annihilation.

"Count, why don't you withdraw first? Now that we have limited strength in our hands, continuing to hold on will only increase casualties. ”

The housekeeper's advice is undoubtedly the most realistic. There were only a few nobles living in the city, and many more preferred to live in the manor.

The revolutionary government was capable of purging Paris, but not of a nationwide purge. Once you leave this cage, it is "the sky is high and the birds can fly, and the sea and the sky are leaping with the fish".

With the strength of the aristocratic clique, and the support of the European countries, restoration was only a matter of time. No matter how hard the revolutionary government tried, it could only be in its death throes.

Count Adrian shook his head: "Now is not the time, with our hundreds of people, we can't run far with our families." Send someone to contact the nearby Marquis Anderson and the Earl of Goodrun through the secret passage, and everyone breaks through together in the evening. ”

Unlike later generations, the European aristocracy in this year was going to war. The European War was so fierce that the nobles of the right age in France basically walked from the battlefield, and Count Adrian was no exception.

Having fought in battle, Adrian naturally knew how to make the best choice. Communications were cut off, and it was impossible to assemble the private army of the nobles throughout the city, but this did not prevent the nearby military nobles from grouping.

"Yes, Count!"

Just as the butler was about to turn around and leave, Count Adrian hurriedly stopped: "Wait a minute, there is no need to send someone." It is estimated that their situation is not much better, and even if they send people out, they cannot be contacted now.

If you don't do it, the existence of the secret passage will be exposed, and the enemy will take advantage of it. In the evening, when it is time to break out, I will contact them again. ”

It was a gamble, but Count Adrian had no choice. The revolutionary army did not have artillery, and in theory, it was the best option to stand by and wait for reinforcements.

But the problem is that the aristocratic group is also scattered, and the charismatic guys don't see God, they hold a meeting in Vienna, and the rest of them can't command anyone.

The battle has been going on for a long time, and the army that was originally controlled by the noble group has not appeared on the battlefield, so Count Adrian can't think about it too much.

If reinforcements don't come, it's over. You must know that since the Second Revolution, the number of public executions by the new government has exceeded four figures, and the number of people who have been secretly killed is even higher.

Although no nobles were publicly executed, there were many nobles who had accidents, and many of them were of higher status than him. Had it not been for the tensions, the royalists would not have compromised so quickly.
