Chapter 238, change the obedient one to the stage
The international situation is changing, and Franz can no longer take care of it. The Holy Roman Empire had just been restored, and there were still a lot of problems waiting for him to deal with.
The German states are easy to solve, anyway, they are highly autonomous, and there is no need for the central government to intervene in local affairs, and after agreeing on the rights and obligations of both parties, the matter is almost completed.
The Rhineland was in ruins, and there was nothing left but a bunch of refugees. Post-war reconstruction became the main task of the Vienna government in 1892.
The situation in the Duchy of Lorraine, the province of Alsace, and the Kingdom of Burgundy, which had just been obtained, was even worse. Although historically these areas were all part of the Holy Roman Empire, the French have been ruling the area for hundreds of years and have long been entrenched.
It was not uncommon for the Holy Roman Empire to be welcomed, but it had become a very small minority, and the majority of the population sided with France.
Needless to say, the Viennese government will not take over such troubles. From the beginning of the occupation of these areas by the Austrians, the French people were constantly repatriated.
It's clear that things won't go that way. The French could be repatriated, but the populace of the Holy Roman Empire could not be expelled.
It's a bad debt, and many people go back in history and their ancestors were members of the Holy Roman Empire. As long as you know a few words of Austrian language, and then insist that you are a remnant of the Holy Roman Empire, there is no way to identify it.
The homeland is hard to leave, and in order not to be repatriated, those who can blend in are mixed in. Among them, there were also some anti-Austrian elements, who took the opportunity to lurk.
Fortunately, the territory obtained this time is not large, and there are not many deep mountains and old forests, which is not suitable for the survival of the guerrillas. Otherwise, with the cooperation of the locals, it would not be easy for the Austrian army to exterminate the guerrillas.
The absence of the guerrillas does not mean that the local area is stable. Perhaps in keeping with the French tradition, Vienna had just announced the appointment of the head of the local government when demonstrations erupted.
"How many people are on the march?"
Franz asked indifferently.
It can be seen that he is really angry. I've never seen someone who doesn't give face, and I've never seen someone who doesn't give face like this.
If the officials appointed by the central government do not do a good job, the locals want to boycott, and Franz can accept it. As soon as the personnel appointment was announced, he jumped out to make trouble, which was far beyond his bottom line.
Compromise and concession are impossible, and if they do, the authority of the central government will be over. At that time, I don't know how many places will follow suit.
Prime Minister Karl: "About 200,000 people marched, especially in Burgundy, and mobs stormed government buildings.
According to the information gathered, it was planned by several small local parties. Through demonstrations, they want to blackmail the central government into repealing the press law and opening up the right to vote in order to achieve regional autonomy.
After the incident escalated, the garrison took over the place as soon as possible. A number of members of political parties are currently being arrested, but unfortunately their leaders left the country before the incident. ”
"Autonomy" is not a new term, the Holy Roman Empire even has a bunch of states, and naturally there is no shortage of autonomous regions.
But these areas are either remnants of history or are not suitable for direct rule by the central government.
Obviously, the third border province of Lorraine, Alsace, Burgundy is not suitable for autonomy. Although the locals now consider themselves citizens of the Holy Roman Empire, this was based on the premise of expelling the French, and many people were reluctant to run away.
Time is a knife to kill pigs. Hundreds of years have passed, and no one can guarantee how high the local sense of belonging to the Holy Roman Empire is.
If they were to be autonomous, maybe one day these guys would hook up with the French again.
Franz rubbed his forehead and said slowly: "Issue the highest wanted warrant to arrest these fugitive felons, whether they live or die."
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is ready to propose at the next meeting of the European Union with a view to signing a treaty to combat transnational crime. We can't let overseas become a place outside the law.
As for the people who participated in the march......"
Well, Franz hesitated. There are too many people involved, and whoever deals with it will feel a headache.
"Re-examine the identities of the local people, find out the French spies who are lurking in, execute those with serious circumstances, and deport the rest of the people!
The evaluation criteria are not only limited to language, but also have any anti-government and anti-social remarks and behaviors, have engaged in any criminal record, fail to report what they know, and deliberately conceal and shield enemy special elements. ”
"Censorship", naturally, is impossible. There are millions of people left behind, and if you check them one by one, it is estimated that they may not be able to complete it this century.
In this context, it is natural that extraordinary measures can only be taken. In short, in a word, all the people of the Holy Roman Empire supported the empire and the emperor, resolutely fought against the enemy, and possessed fine traditional virtues.
This kind of attempt to split the country and endanger the country is certainly not something that the people of the empire will do, and the participants must be the spies of the French.
In this era of blood, one is French, and naturally the whole family is French, including all direct and collateral relatives, and those who do not take the initiative to expose them are all French spies.
It was not Franz's intention to expand it, but there was no way. If these people are not deported now, it will be difficult to clean up these hidden dangers in the future.
The Holy Roman Empire alone was able to bring millions of French people to their place, which was clearly the treatment of a child of destiny. If there had been such a strong appeal, the Habsburgs would not have been defeated by Napoleon.
After an unsuccessful attempt at political maneuver, Franz decisively chose to activate the backup plan. Anyway, from the very beginning, the Vienna government was not ready to acquire the population from France.
The seeds of hatred have been planted a long time ago, and now it is nothing more than to deepen the contradictions between the two countries. If you want to resolve hatred and ease contradictions, you don't have to think about it at all before this generation dies.
Deep down, Franz was also afraid. If these people hadn't been able to hold their breath and were exposed in advance, maybe they would have really become a hidden danger to Austria.
If nothing else, as long as you put a mess of thoughts into it, it's more terrible than any weapon.
Of course, this is not possible. If France were still strong, their ideas would still be attractive to the intellectuals, and now all we can learn from them is lessons.
In this regard, everyone is very realistic. If you want to learn, you must also learn from successful experiences, and failures can only be used to learn lessons.
Not only the outside world is reflecting, but even the French themselves are reflecting. Then the French intellectual world became even more confused.
Some angrily denounced the revolutionary government in Paris, some denounced the monarchy, some criticized the bourgeois conglomerates, some blamed the British, some despised the overwhelming number of anti-French allies, and some even attributed the defeat to "freedom gone too far......
All kinds of ideas are blooming in Paris at the moment, and it is impossible to determine for a while what ideas can save France.
Had it not been for the fact that the anti-French coalition had just begun to withdraw its troops, Paris might have staged an all-out military march. The Viennese government could provoke a civil war with the French at any time, if it wanted to.
It's such a mess inside, who has the time to make trouble for the Holy Roman Empire. Even if you really want to do it, it's more than enough to do it.
Prime Minister Karl: "Your Majesty, the situation in France is very bad. If we take a backup plan, the government in Paris will probably not be able to hold on.
According to the information gathered, the unemployment rate in France has exceeded 50 percent, and the number of refugees has exceeded 5 million, most of whom are repatriated from various countries.
If we repatriate the remaining millions of people, the number of refugees in France will probably exceed the seven million mark.
The war drained the blood of France, and the revolutionary government of Paris inherited a mess that they simply did not have the ability to pick up the pieces. ”
The real situation is even more serious than Carr said, the revolutionary government of Paris is now not only short of money and food, but also has very little binding force on the local government, and is simply an empty shelf.
Including the current refugee relief, it is all presided over by local governments and aristocrats, and many local governments are on the verge of collapse.
Once the limit is exceeded, the local government stops providing relief to the refugees, and the ticking time bomb is detonated.
Franz is clear about the horrific consequences of the refugee mutacy, which is simply a black hole. I don't know how many dynasties have been swallowed by this black hole throughout the ages.
"The population of France must have dropped to less than 30 million, right?"
Prime Minister Karl replied in the affirmative: "It has arrived a long time ago!" After the outbreak of the war, France alone lost more than a million immigrants, killed millions in battle, and starved to death.
The revolutionary government in Paris lacked sufficient capacity to govern and did not respond in a timely manner, and was still sitting back and watching the crisis unfold.
In order to stabilize the region, the Allied forces stationed in France have made several sorties to suppress the rebels. ”
Franz nodded, pondered for a moment, and then said slowly: "Since the mud of the revolutionary government in Paris can't support the wall, let's simply push it back to rebuild."
Implement a backup plan to wait for the end of the revolutionary government in Paris before supporting the restoration of a royal family. They have not been able to elect a king for so long. ”
The ass decides the head, and as a vested interest in the monarchy, Franz naturally wants to maintain this system.
It just so happens that there are many royal families in France, the Bonaparte dynasty is finished, and there are Bourbon and Orleans to be replaced.
After the formation of the European Continental Union, the first resolution was to order the restoration of France. As a defeated country, the French naturally had no confidence to refuse.
However, when it came time to implement it, such a resolution, which seriously harmed the interests of the revolutionary government in Paris, was resisted.
Clearly refused, the Paris government launched the Capitol top cylinder. Anyway, the efficiency of the parliament is like that, and it is normal for three or five years to not produce results.
As a rule-abiding boss, the Vienna government naturally could not forcibly interfere in the internal affairs of the French because of their slow speed. And then, things dragged on.
The matter was not completed, and the European Union's humanitarian aid plan for France was naturally shelved. Originally, Franz was prepared to use food to force the revolutionary government in Paris to make concessions.
How could it be that the Wang Ba of the Paris Revolutionary Government ate the scales and did not go to the Tao, as if he did not see the crisis, and held on to power and did not let go.
It was as if the Vienna government would compromise with them as long as they were willing to insist that the reparations be paid normally.
Such a threat naturally did not frighten Franz. It is true that the French have to pay a lot of reparations, but at the moment they have to pay only more than 10 million Aegis, and only a few million have been distributed to the Vienna government.
Such a small amount of money may be a large amount for other countries, but when it rests on the Holy Roman Empire, it is nothing more than a day's financial revenue.
If it's gone, it's gone. Even if one day of income was missing, the Vienna government could still live the same life, and it would not be a famine.
In order to improve his mood, Franz decided to kick out the disobedient and incompetent revolutionary government of Paris and replace it with an obedient one.
