Chapter 1038: Complex Russian politics

For Franz, the problem is always unfinished, and as long as you don't care about it, it is no longer a problem.
The trouble in France is indeed big news for the media, but for the Holy Roman Empire, it is actually not even a small cold.
Since it was caused by the Russians, let the tsarist government take care of it. Anyway, Shenluo did not station troops in the French mainland, even if it was bloodied, the Vienna government would not be anxious.
The only trouble is probably that international public opinion will be very unfavorable. It's just that today is different. As the boss of the European Union, the Vienna government has a lot stronger anti-lightning properties.
It is not the Shinra army that is causing trouble now. Even if it has been criticized by public opinion, it will at best accuse the Vienna government of "inaction."
"Omission" is not a sin. Looking at modern history, we know that the Vienna government's policy of inaction has continued for many years.
For European governments, the boss's "doing" is far more terrible than "inaction". If the Vienna government has to manage everything, it is estimated that the European Union will not be as stable as it is now.
Similar to later generations, if the US government suddenly stops tossing and does nothing, all countries in the world will only celebrate, instead of jumping out and accusing Americans of inaction.
There is only one main reason for not being sprayed, and that is the usual trivial things, you have to participate, but at the critical moment, you withdraw and refuse to take responsibility.
Although the chaos in France is showing signs of expansion, after all, it has not reached the point where it cannot be dealt with. The Vienna government will not take action for the time being, and let the Russians handle it by themselves. There is no problem in theory.
Of course, there is nothing wrong with this, but only from the standpoint of the Holy Roman Empire itself and a third party with no interests.
The French and Russians at the center of the storm would never think so.
Without the Vienna government coming out to mediate, the French and Russian governments at this moment have actually been forced to a corner.
compromise?
If the Carlos government dares to make concessions, the French people dare to change to an emperor.
Without the strength to work hard with the enemy, it is already very embarrassing; if you don't dare to cooperate without violence, how can you prove that you stand with the French people?
The French government had no choice, and the Czarist government was embarrassed. Nicholas II, who had just succeeded to the throne, encountered this big trouble before he could adapt to the supreme power brought by the tsar.
There is no point in investigating right or wrong. Once you investigate in depth, the final result will most likely be a face.
According to the Russian headquarters in France, this was a conspiracy of the French, deliberately provoking a conflict between the Russian army and the local people, which caused the situation to get out of control.
Whether others believe it or not, Nicholas II will not believe it anyway. The French conspiracy may exist, but the main cause of the situation out of control is definitely not a small conspiracy.
There is no way. The reporter recorded the atrocities of the Russian army. The photos have already appeared in the newspaper, and they can't be washed off.
Some people even mailed a small video film to Nicholas II, and also included a sincere letter, hoping that Nicholas II would stop the atrocities of the Russian army.
That’s all for letters, similar letters Nicholas II received too much. If they are all concentrated, they can hold several trains of leather.
Without bragging, if he lived in the 20th century, Nicholas II would be able to live a middle-class life by selling the waste paper that he received every day.
Especially recently, almost all well-known figures in Europe have sent him letters. To persuade politely and tactfully, those who don't give face will directly scold them.
Fortunately, Nicholas II had a good self-cultivation. If he were replaced by a careful czar, he might have to send someone to get rid of these gesticulating guys.
However, no matter how good the cultivation is, it can't withstand the impact of "small movies". If it weren't for the distance, Nicholas II would definitely call the commander in Paris in front of him to let him know what it is.
I have seen stupid one, but never seen such a stupid one. It is barely understandable that the photos taken by reporters secretly. But if someone filmed a documentary on the spot, it would not be justified.
This year's camera is not a small toy. When such a big guy shoots aside, the Russian soldiers at the scene did not stop it. Nicholas II can no longer describe it in words.
In short, these video materials are quite detrimental to the tsarist government. Recently, I have been in peace for more than ten years. I have finally squeezed into the circle of European civilization, and now I am kicked out again.
The "barbaric" and "cruel" hats were taken off by the Russian Empire in a short time. The international image that was painstakingly managed in the time of Alexander III is completely lost at this moment.
Thanks to the vagueness of the video data, it is impossible to accurately identify the identities of the Russian soldiers, otherwise Nicholas II would have to send the waste to see God.
The situation has been eroded, and it is also a matter of the future to be held accountable, and the most important thing at the moment is the aftermath.
The headquarters of the Allied Forces, controlled by the Vienna government, directly ordered the Russian troops stationed in Paris to solve the problems themselves. Regardless of whether the czarist government wants it or not, it can only bite the bullet now.
...
St. Petersburg
In the Winter Palace, Nicholas II sat on the first place with a gloomy face, and said coldly: "What happened in France has seriously affected our international image.
In order to recover these adverse effects and safeguard the interests of the Russian Empire, we must now take decisive measures.
..."
Obviously, Nicholas II has not figured out the point yet. "International image", once that thing is corrupted, it is really broken.
It is not impossible to restore it, but it is definitely not something that can be changed in a short time.
Instead of entangled in the international image, it is better to find a way to stabilize the situation in France. These benefits are truly visible and tangible.
Pitt Donoschef reminded: "Your Majesty, the Allied Forces Headquarters has authorized us to deal with French affairs.
The most urgent thing is to stabilize the situation in Paris. Note to the commander in France, the matter of prosecuting the relevant persons responsible can be handled after the situation has stabilized. "
(Very good to Donoschev: Nicholas II's personal teacher and adviser, Director of the General Administration of Orthodox Affairs)
There is no way, the Allied forces authorized the Russian troops stationed in Paris to deal with it with full authority, which seems to be very trusting, but in fact it is to let the tsarist government clean up the mess.
The incident was caused by the Russian troops stationed in France. Now that the situation is out of control, the Tsarist government cannot shirk its blame and cannot shirk it.
And the aftermath must be done well. Otherwise, the other garrisoned allies that have suffered unwarranted disasters will have to come over and ask for trouble.
It is not a question of whether you are afraid or not. The key is that everyone eats together in the same pot and needs to cooperate with each other. If the relationship is really frozen, the situation of the Russian troops in France will be even worse.
It is hard to say that if the French were completely taken away, the strength of the French-Russian troops would not be able to hold the ground.
Limited by distance, even if the Russian Empire wants reinforcements, there is not enough time and can only rely on the strength of its allies.
Perhaps the strength of a single country is limited, but the combined strength of these dozens of countries is actually not too far away from the Russian Empire.
Chancellor of the Exchequer Sergey Witt: "The Secretary said rightly that the current situation does not allow us to delay.
The Vienna government has now made it clear that it does not want to interfere. The French government has gone on strike again. From now on, we need to finance our own expenses in France.
The longer the delay, the greater the loss of the empire.
In order to solve the problem as soon as possible, I propose to send a delegation to Paris immediately to investigate the cause of the incident and coordinate relations with the French government.
In any case, we must first appease the French government. Only when they come out to work can social order be restored as soon as possible. "
It is not that Sergey Witt opposes violent suppression, but the main reason is that the situation in France is too complicated and violence cannot solve the problem.
The people who want to solve the problems seem to be too weak for the Russian troops stationed in France. Taking into account the financial pressure, it is impossible for the tsarist government to send 1.8 million Russian troops to play a major purge.
Since violence is not acceptable, it can only be reasonable. Anyway, France is a defeated country and the start will be short by three points.
Minister of Foreign Affairs Mikhailovich: "I am afraid it will be difficult to do. The French government went on strike and protested with the main purpose of wanting us to withdraw from Paris.
However, this is precisely our most unlikely concession. If there is no garrison, how do we guarantee the war compensation?
How can the interests of the empire in France be maintained?
Even if we don't care about these, we must also consider the positions of the anti-French alliance countries. The unilateral compromise of the empire to the French would only put the empire in a very embarrassing situation. "
No objection, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has limited capabilities. It is simply impossible to persuade the French with a three-inch tongue.
The bottom line of the tsarist government is here clearly, and the biggest concession is nothing more than: next time you don't collect taxes yourself, then there will be no more.
Investigating the responsible person is also handled internally, and the final result is nothing more than a fine of three drinks.
The reason why the parties accepted the punishment was not because of the atrocities of the Russian army; it was the failure to block the news during the robbery and killing, which made the tsarist government passive.
Regarding the atrocities committed by the Russian army, it is impossible for the Tsarist government to admit anything now. No matter how full the evidence is, the tsarist government can only survive to the end.
The French can never be satisfied with the result of such a treatment.
If you want to use diplomatic means to solve the problem, you must at least throw a few scapegoats out, so that the French can vent their grievances.
Obviously, this kind of offending the military is impossible for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to do.
Not wanting to offend his colleagues, but also unwilling to bear the consequences of the failure of the negotiation, Mikhailovich will naturally put the ugly words on the front, so that future problems can pass the responsibility.
The positions of the civil service group are not unified, let alone the military. In addition to force suppression, it is also force suppression. It is impossible to assume responsibility anyway.
Although the interests of the empire are important, personal status and future are obviously more important. Anyone in the position of Secretary of the Army will first protect the interests of his own little brother.
...
For Nicholas II, who was soft-headed, the high-level government disputes were the greatest torture. Each has its own rationale, and it is too difficult for the czar to make a choice.
Maybe it was because I was impatient to hear, or maybe because of something, Nicholas II interrupted the discussion.
"Well, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs negotiates with the French first. If they understand the current affairs and accept our goodwill; if the French refuses our goodwill, they will use a bayonet to make them sober."
Diplomacy + military work together to solve the problem, exactly as described in the book, it seems that there is nothing wrong with it.
As for the effect, I will know after using it. Anyway, Nicholas II is very satisfied now, taking everyone's opinions together and taking care of everything.
The only trouble is the specific executors, who need a headache again. Whether it is headed by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs or the military, the great Tsar did not give a clear answer to this question.
Although they knew it was trouble, everyone present tacitly chose to avoid it.
Who is the leader is not only involved in the aftermath issue, but also related to the ranking of the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in the government power structure.
It's nothing more than the Tsar's direct appointment. It is nothing more than a matter of imperial ministers and does not affect the balance of power.
However, if someone else pierced the window paper, that would put the secret political struggle on the desktop, and there would be no room for maneuver.
In politics, this is undoubtedly a taboo. All the people present are smart people, knowing what they can and cannot do.
