President Robert, who had soft ears, was still unable to resist the repeated persuasion of everyone. On 6 June 1892, the Treaty of Vienna was signed by Robert on behalf of France and Weysenberg on behalf of the Anti-French Alliance.

The treaty reads as follows:

1. France admits defeat and takes responsibility for the war.

2. France abolished its suzerainty over Andorra, Monaco, and Italy, and recognized the independence of all countries.

3. France ceded the Duchy of Lorraine, the province of Alsace, parts of the Kingdom of Burgundy, the Flemder Count, the Artois, the Principality of Savoy, parts of Provence, Corsica, and Roussillon to the Anti-French Alliance. (Total area of 125,000 square kilometers)

4. France paid 40 billion Aegis in the war reparations of the anti-French alliance, which is tentatively paid in 99 years, with a monthly interest rate of 5/1000.

(Note: The indemnity is paid in increments year by year, with the first payment of 15 million Aegis, 1893~1900/1.5 million Aegis per year, 1901~1910/3 million Aegis, 1911~1920/5 million Aegis per year...... ）

5. The active force of the French Army shall not exceed 50,000, the militia reserve shall not exceed 100,000, and the army shall not be equipped with tanks, armored vehicles, and artillery with a caliber of more than 100mm; The establishment of the navy shall not exceed 5,000 people, the displacement of capital ships shall not exceed 5,000 tons, and the total tonnage of warships shall not exceed 50,000 tons; No air power, including airships or aircraft, shall be developed.

6. All domestic arsenals should be closed, no military industry should be engaged in research and development, and all military and naval equipment must be purchased from Austria and other countries.

7. Until the full payment of the indemnity is completed, the Allied forces shall have the right to garrison troops in France, and the number of troops stationed in peacetime shall not exceed 250,000, and the military expenses shall be borne by the French Government 80 percent.

8. France ceded overseas colonies such as French Africa and French America to Austria.

……

Looking at the remake of the Treaty of Versailles, or a treaty that was harsher than the Treaty of Versailles, Franz was speechless for a long time.

Today, the history of past memories has lost its value. Whether this decision was right or wrong, Franz did not know. In short, this is the common will of the countries of the anti-French alliance.

It can only be calculated that the Chinese people are unlucky, and they run into a gang of people who all want to weaken their alliance, unlike the original time and space Britain and the United States who want to preserve the vitality of the Germans.

Originally, the Russians also wanted to reserve some vitality for the French to counterbalance Austria, but unfortunately the tsarist government was reluctant to pay war reparations.

20% of the 40 billion Aegis, that is, 8 billion Aegis, whoever dares to give up such a huge sum of money, the nobles of the Russian Empire will take off their heads.

With this huge amount of money, the military expenditure for going south to India will be complete. As long as India is taken, it does not matter whether Austria is balanced or not.

The only regret is that this huge amount of money did not arrive at one time, which delayed their great cause of going south. However, a long stream of water is also good, and it can make up for the financial hole of the tsarist government in the long run.

The hands are short, and the eating mouth is soft. With such a huge amount of money, the Russians were naturally embarrassed to oppose it when the countries slaughtered France.

Of course, the objection is also invalid. On the question of weakening France, the positions of the countries are firmer than those of Austria, and they will not sell the face of the Russians at all.

Unless the tsarist government is willing to give up the reparations, overturn the table at all costs, and run to join forces with the British.

This is obviously impossible. The great interests of the heavens and the earth are the greatest, and the tsarist government is rational, and it is impossible to sell blood to aid the law.

In any case, the dust of the European war has settled, and Franz's hanging heart has finally fallen.

After so many years of hard work, Austria, which is located in the land of four wars, has finally gotten rid of the embarrassment of fighting on multiple fronts.

In retrospect, Franz finds it incredible. In the past 40 years, Austria has actually solved the three major enemies of Prussia, Ottoman, and France.

Without pressure, Franz was relaxed. After secretly sighing in his heart, Franz quickly made a decision: "Arrange the withdrawal of troops according to the content of the treaty!" However, the transfer of prisoners of war had to be postponed until the situation in France was completely stabilized, and then they should be released so as not to cause unnecessary turmoil. ”

The treaty must be respected, but the specifics will be considered.

Franz's fears were not unfounded, and judging from the current situation, once the main Allied forces were withdrawn, it was almost inevitable that the situation in France would be turbulent.

Once the prisoners of war were returned, it was not clear whether the situation could be brought under control by relying only on the garrisons stranded in France.

In the event of a collapse of the situation, the coalition forces must be reorganized to intervene. With Austria's national strength, it can barely hold on, but the allies can't afford it.

The horror of the people's war, Franz is clear. He had no doubts about the revolutionary resolve of the French people.

With the harsh terms of the Vienna Treaty, a little spark is enough to detonate this powder keg.

Once the situation erodes, it will not be a simple intervention that can be settled. The countries of the anti-French alliance have limited endurance, and after a few tosses and turns, the people's hearts will be scattered.

The best way to avoid the worst is to hold the millions of prisoners of war in our hands. Without these people as the main force, even if a group of old, weak, sick and disabled people make trouble, the threat is limited.

Prime Minister Karl: "It's better to withdraw the troops early, the logistics of the Allied forces have always been our supply, and the early withdrawal of the junta can also reduce the cost."

The delay in the release of prisoners of war is troublesome. So far, the Allies have taken 4.12 million prisoners of war, and it is a problem for so many people to just eat, drink, and lazar.

Now that the war is over, the international community is watching us......"

It's not just a nuisance, it's a ticking time bomb. The captives in Africa can say that they are contributing to the greening cause at the moment, and they finally have a stable job.

Prisoners of war in Europe are different, because of hatred, they must be separated from the population, and they are afraid to participate in post-war reconstruction.

Now these guys can only stay in the camp every day, and they are all idle, and they often toss some laughable problems.

Franz rubbed his forehead and said helplessly: "Then release the Italian prisoners of war first, and let the governments of the Italian states collect the people themselves." French prisoners of war were released first, with five thousand people per day.

Prisoners of war making trouble? The enemy has surrendered, and we are still afraid that a group of prisoners of war will not succeed? Fearing that the political influence would not be good, he entrusted it to the Russians to manage it on his behalf.

They have a lot of experience in this area, and the Ottomans are so stubborn, haven't they all been tamed by them? ”

Sometimes, Franz was a little envious of the Russians, doing whatever he wanted, and directly ignoring international public opinion.

Originally, it was thought that after the Ottomans moved to the Russian Empire, they would toss some things, and Franz was ready to provide condolence subsidies to the tsarist government.

The reality is very slap in the face, perhaps because the winter is too cold to make a fuss; Or maybe it's because I have experienced social beatings and learned to adapt.

In short, the Ottomans who entered the Russian Empire behaved very peacefully. After all, the Ottoman immigrants who entered Siberia back then have now lost two-thirds of their staff, and there are not many who dare to make trouble.

With this successful experience, Franz does not mind outsourcing again, perhaps at a lower cost than managing it himself.

It can be seen from the military expenditure that Russian officers are very experienced in cost control, and they are the best at spending the least amount of money and doing the most things.

……

Foreign Secretary Wesenberg: "Your Majesty, this is the number of troops stationed in each country. The total number of troops was 249,000, namely: 120,000 Russians, 70,000 Spain, 30,000 Belgium, 11,000 Switzerland, and 8,000 Sardinia......"

The garrison of France did not need Austria to worry about, and in order to grab the garrison quota, the anti-French alliance almost fought within it. It seems that the French bear only 80 percent of the military spending, but the account cannot be calculated in this way.

The base of military spending was determined with reference to the average level of the Austrian army, and the presence of armored forces directly raised the average, which is not so expensive for the armies of all countries.

For example, the per capita military expenditure of the Russian army is less than half of that of the Austrian army. Not only did the garrison of France help raise the army, but the tsarist government could also make a fortune.

This is especially true for neighbouring countries. Directly put their own army on the border, and someone will support the army at their own expense, and it will not affect their own use at all.

In addition to these direct benefits on the surface, the hidden benefits are the real purpose of everyone's competition.

France's family is very rich, and although it has been looted by the coalition forces, the remaining oil and water are still very rich.

Of course, it is still the next step to raid the place directly. The greatest benefit brought by the garrison is, in fact, smuggling.

As long as the brand of transporting military supplies is hung up, the French have no right to intervene and can perfectly escape the tariffs.

However, there are limits to smuggling, and it is most important to maximize profits. With so many member countries of the Anti-French Alliance, if there are no rules, this market will soon be ruined.

What everyone is vying for now is not only the garrison quota, but also the smuggling quota in the underground market.

Austria did not participate, not because it did not look down on the market, but mainly because the Vienna government had already taken away its most valuable talent.

If it weren't for the chaos of the situation, everyone would have found that the top wave of scientists and engineers in France had already emigrated with their families.

Franz was very domineering in this regard, whether he could take it for his own use or not, and then get people over first.

It can be said that after this battle, France's high-end talents have been directly disconnected, and they may not be able to recover in another 30 years.

Such a big move did not cause an uproar in the outside world, and naturally the cooperation of allies was indispensable. In return, Austria abandoned the underground smuggling market in France.
