Chapter 956: Surging

With the support of the father of the gold master, the French revolutionary movement rose again. A life of misery provides a living soil for the spread of revolutionary ideas.
Without waiting for the French government to react, a massive anti-war and anti-hunger movement started in Paris and quickly spread to the whole country.
If someone observes carefully, they will find an interesting thing: the people who supported the war most at the beginning and the people who oppose the war most now are actually the same people.
People are still those people, and the only thing that has changed is that many traces of years have been added to everyone's faces. It can be seen that everyone's life has not been very good for more than a year.
Originally thought that the autumn wind swept the fallen leaves of the war, it turned into a national power attrition war. A large number of French boys took to the battlefield, including their relatives.
It would be fine if the battlefield continued to win, but the current result was that the French army was constantly defeated. The miserable life, coupled with worry about relatives, forced everyone to stand up against the war.
If there were no accidents, after the armistice treaty was signed, they were dissatisfied with the conditions of the suspension, and it was this wave of people who jumped out to demand punishment of the traitors.
It can only be said that the Napoleon IV government was unlucky and happened to catch up with the most chaotic era of French thought.
When the revolutionary movement was surging, on September 1, 1891, a large-scale uprising broke out in Rome. Unlike any previous anti-French uprising, the leader of this uprising became aristocrat and missionary.
The wall fell down and everyone pushed, and watching the French was about to end, the Italian local power faction, who had long been dissatisfied with the French, finally took practical action.
At the beginning of the uprising, the Italian soldiers in the defending army were instigated, and there was a church as a cover. Under the cooperation of the inside and outside, the insurgents quickly captured the city of Rome.
After the success of the uprising, Pope Leo XIII, the religious leader, issued the "Declaration of Anti-aggression" in the Vatican, calling on all Italians to rise up and expel the French.
After receiving the news, Franz's first reaction was that the climax of the Italian independence movement had come. Without any hesitation, he immediately ordered the division of troops to attack south to support Italy's national liberation movement.
...
At the Palace of Versailles, the deteriorating situation finally forced Napoleon IV to the edge of the cliff, when it was time to make a choice.
Army Secretary Luskinia: "With the fall of Rome, the erosion of the situation in Italy is a foregone conclusion. At the moment we do not have enough troops to put in Italy to clean up the mess.
The Ministry of War recommended temporarily abandoning the Italian region, retreating to the Alps, shrinking troops and returning to the country to defend the homeland. Including the anxious Turin guard battle, there is no need to continue. "
The fact is in front of us, Italy, once the infinite glory of the Great French Empire, has now become a quagmire. If you continue to get stuck in it, it has no value except for consuming national power in vain.
From a military standpoint, retreating to the Alps is undoubtedly the best choice. France can use the least force to ensure the safety of the southern front, and then put the saved force on other battlefields.
The best military is not the best politically. In a sense, there is not much difference between France's abandonment of the Italian region and direct surrender.
After the loss of the Italian region, France's weakness was completely exposed. It is conceivable that the Anti-French Alliance will definitely not give up this opportunity to fall into trouble.
Those countries that hadn't worked hard, but just made up the numbers, will now rush forward and tear off a piece of meat from France.
Knowing, but no one objected. Everyone knows that the question now is not whether to abandon the Italian region, but how to carry out the aftermath.
Glancing at the crowd, Napoleon IV slowly said: "Well, let's implement the plan of the Ministry of War!
It seems that Austria is preparing to reinstate the Italian states. What should you do later, you should know? "
"Your Majesty, please rest assured. We will handle it properly and will not leave the enemy..."
Seeing that Napoleon IV was not in a high mood and seemed to be a little impatient, Luskinia's words stopped abruptly.
Needless to say, you also know that it was destroyed. For a long time to come, the restored Italian states will be the enemies of France. While there is still a chance, it is natural to weaken these potential enemies.
In a sense, the harder France is now, the more money will be needed for reconstruction after the war. The Italian states naturally have no money, and the trouble fell to Austria.
As for France's retaliation after the war, he was joking, as if he quit now, the enemy would be merciful.
Since the war broke out, France and Austria have secretly contacted several times, but they have not been able to reach an agreement, otherwise the war would have ended long ago.
I really thought that France was too hard to see the coffin without tears. In fact, it’s not that Austria’s conditions are too harsh for the Paris government to accept, and that has made it tough until now.
Then, everyone found helplessly that the war was really unstoppable. With the continuous defeat of the French army on the battlefield, Austria's conditions have become more and more demanding, and the bottom line gap between the two sides is huge.
If the Vienna government is willing to make concessions and use the cease-fire conditions six months ago, no, even with the cessation conditions three months ago, Napoleon IV will agree.
There is no alternative. In the suspension conditions six months ago, Austria demanded that France abandon French Africa, restore China and Europe to the pre-war border, and pay certain war reparations.
The French army was not defeated, and most of French Africa is still in the hands of the French army. Such conditions are naturally unacceptable to the Paris government.
It was different three months ago. French Africa has been unable to satisfy Austria’s appetite. It not only increased huge war reparations, but also required France to abandon the Italian region.
Naturally, the Paris government dared not agree to this kind of condition of losing power and humiliating the country. The result has not yet reacted, the French army ushered in two defeats on the front line, and then Russia, West, and Switzerland were also pulled into the chariot by Austria.
The conditions for contacting Austria were even more excessive. Not only did they have the previous conditions, they also made territorial claims to the French mainland.
And, it's not even a star. Not only Austria wants to take back the homeland of Shenluo, but also the neighbors around it will follow suit.
Needless to say, if Napoleon IV dared to agree to this condition to make France smaller, the Palace of Versailles must change its owner.
Prime Minister Terence Burkin: "Your Majesty, those guys seem to be aware of something. They are all simple and simple. Some even left Paris.
And the revolutionary party suddenly became active. In the recent strikes and violent incidents, the revolutionary party has its shadow.
Only the strength of the Revolutionary Party has not been able to plan so many actions, and there must be other strengths behind it.
They are the only ones who are capable and motivated to do such things. If we don't take action, they will probably do it. "
It can be seen that Terrence Burkin is very jealous of the consortium, and even uses references when discussing matters.
There is no way. The last politician who publicly advocated suppressing the consortium has already grown grass.
There is also the responsibility of Napoleon IV. When he was in power, he was busy seizing power and was used by the consortium. The faction in the government that advocated suppressing the consortium was marginalized.
When Napoleon IV reacted, the political forces that advocated suppression of the consortium had collapsed under the consortium’s Jin Yuan offensive.
There is no way, politicians have such high moral integrity. In the era of Napoleon III, there was a powerful emperor who dared to move closer to the consortium. All the politicians who dared to approach the consortium went home to farm.
The saying that "one emperor, one courtier" may be a bit exaggerated in continental Europe. But Napoleon IV was not a normal change of imperial power. There was a period of time between the ministers and regents, and no one in the Bonaparte family controlled the overall situation. The change of power after the personal campaign was inevitable.
The young and vigorous Napoleon IV, his political skills are far from mature now, and the Bonaparte dynasty has no powerful figures to assist him, so he is inevitably taken advantage of.
This is somewhat similar to Chongzhen, but he was busy seizing power and forgot to maintain a balance between political factions.
However, Napoleon IV still had to be stronger in political skills. In the later political struggles, he quietly supported his direct political power.
Had it not been for the Great Revolution that broke out in the middle, maybe the consortium would be slowly abandoned by him. After all, a consortium is only formed by capitalists because of their interests. They can also be split because of their interests. Their cohesion is very poor.
After hesitating for a while, Napoleon IV nodded: "Get ready to start! At this point, we can only gamble."
