Struggle in Russia

v3 Chapter 10 - The choice of Napoleon III

Today is different. In 1848, due to internal reasons, France could only sit back and watch Russia’s troubles and troubles in Wallachia. However, as Napoleon III took full control of the situation, as he took power through a new coup, this Napoleon The emperor’s nephew was no longer willing to be just a president. He wanted to call the wind and rain like his uncle did to make the whole Europe recall the fear brought by the name Napoleon again.

Especially in recent years, the Catholic power in France has risen tremendously. The provocation against the Orthodox Church headed by Russia has become more and more intolerable. It can be said that the majority of believers hope to teach the **** polar bear a lesson, not to mention the French can never forget the past. How Napoleon the Great was smashed from the altar, it can be said that the strength of Russia today is based on the body of France.

Many factors such as national hatred and hatred have been added together, so that France has the idea of ​​a longer and shorter with Russia. What’s more, it’s not 1814. At that time, the whole of Europe was strangling France under the banner of the anti-French alliance. Now look at Russia, does he still have a decent ally?

“Although the Austrian side has not made a clear statement, it has already expressed its worries about Russia’s expansion. If our country is at war with Russia, the Austrian side will at least remain neutral!”

Napoleon III lifted up his iconic horoscope, and fell into thought while stroking the dog in his arms.

To be honest, Napoleon III himself did not expect to be able to go to this day. When he escaped from prison in France, he was extremely embarrassed. When I arrived in London, I didn’t accomplish anything, just a wanderer. The revolution of 1848 gave him a chance to make a comeback, but he did not have much real power in his hands when he became president in a daze.

At that time, the general opinion of the outside world was that as soon as the four-year term expired, he would be beaten back to his original form, and because of profligacy, the day he could not step down was the day he was thrown into the Paris debt prison.

Anyway, no one thought he could do anything at the time, let alone think he was in the same place as his uncle. But even under this generally unfavorable situation, he bucked the trend and finally won power.

It’s just that, although the power is in hand, it is not stable. As long as there is a slight mistake, whether it is the Parisian people who hate him or the Parisian upper class who despise him, they will settle the ledger with him. At that time, he might be better than dead.

So Napoleon III knew that he had to do something quickly, and only by making something that caught the eye could he transfer the hatred he had pulled back.

The first thing Napoleon III thought of was religious and Balkan issues. He actually didn’t understand Russia, and he was a little scared. After all, this is a behemoth, and most of the monstrous flames of the 1848 revolution were extinguished by Russia. At that time, France was overwhelmed. In contrast, the gap between the two sides seems to be large.

Napoleon III was not a military genius, he could not use military thinking and common sense to judge Russia’s reality. After all, not everyone with the surname Bonaparte has the same military genius as Napoleon Bonaparte.

In this regard, Napoleon III was very mediocre, without any shining points. All the talents of this person are flirting. This girl is really a good hand, and the hand with more illegitimate children can’t be counted. He is a veritable lover.

So Napoleon III asked his most worried question: “Can we defeat the Russians alone?”

It’s just that no one can answer this question, because even the most professional and optimistic French soldiers of this era can’t pat their chests and pack their votes to ensure that they will defeat the rosy Russia. On the contrary, more people may think that Russia is invincible, at least France alone cannot win.

For Napoleon III, there was no answer and sometimes there was an answer. These silent silences told him that if France went to war with Russia alone, he might not have a good chance of winning. That being the case, he didn’t need to continue to struggle, because there was only one choice before him-to keep restraint while waiting for the opportunity.

what? You ask why not unite with Britain or other countries to clean up Russia?

Is this a joke? Britain and France are feuds, especially after Napoleon’s incident, the relationship between Britain and France fell to the bottom. It can be said that all the shackles of France in the international society are all done by Britain and its associates.

It is not easy for you to shake hands with your enemies. And over the years, with the recovery of France and the rapid growth of its national strength, Britain still regards France as its main opponent. It is still staring at it all the time, how can it be reconciled!

“Tell the Turks, let them be stronger, and the international community will not turn a blind eye to Russian atrocities… But as long as the Russians are not particularly demanding, it’s okay to give in a little bit!”

The answer was light and easy, but it was uncomfortable to hear the Turks’ ears, they would feel that they were sold again, and that France was not sincerely advocating justice to them. The final result of the Bulgarian issue is likely to be that they continue to seek completeness in Russia’s loss of power.

But what makes the Turks very depressed is that Napoleon III’s words still have the second half: “But they must not compromise on the key issue, and must not allow the Russians to continue to make progress or even enter the Mediterranean!”

This is the end of the Turks’ fate, UU reading www.uukanshu.com because Napoleon III meant: “You gang of native chickens, you can bow to Russia, but you must not let Russia gain too much. If the Russians break through Under the restrictions of the Black Sea, then you are all over!”

The problem is that this is very contradictory to the Turks! Because Nicholas I’s attitude made it clear that he came to break through the blockade of the Black Sea, otherwise it would be interesting for him to press so hard. But you French guys don’t let us make too much concession, but can they just let it go without letting the Russians be satisfied?

It can be said that Turkey is put in a dilemma, and they feel a little bit unable to advance or retreat. It is impossible not to make concessions nor to make too many concessions. Is this scale too difficult to grasp?

Therefore, in the face of Russia’s pressing and military threats, Turkey is very frightened, and they don’t know what to do. Actively prepare for the war, France and the United Kingdom have also said that he should exercise restraint and not provoke polar bears. Don’t actively prepare for the battle, the polar bear has already reached most of their body, and if you don’t resist, the true lair will be taken in one pot.

“I don’t think Britain and France are reliable. If it doesn’t work, let’s just surrender and let us cede Bulgaria as a price in exchange for Russia’s pledge not to continue to attack us on religious and border issues?
