Flowers, Swords and France

"War is in sight!" 》

In Britain, a country defended by an unparalleled navy, readers may not feel the growing tension on the European continent today.

However, there is enough reliable basis to prove that this is likely to be the last calm of the storm. What is even more disturbing is that Britain cannot stay out of this storm. Palmerston, who has always gone his own way and treated Parliament with a deceptive attitude, Lord Don would once again plunge the British people into a terrible struggle in ignorance.

There is no doubt that the air on the European continent has become unprecedentedly tense, and the diplomatic circles of various countries are full of terrible rumors and rumors. These rumors, from accurate and reliable to absurd and bizarre, all point to one word: war.

According to the secret information obtained by the author recently, Charles de Treville, the State Secretary of the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs, recently made a hurried and secret visit to the Austrian Empire. This news is bound to further aggravate the tension in the air on the European continent, and will inextricably The refuted facts prove that the rumors are indeed well-founded.

If it was not a conspiracy, why would Treville disrupt his schedule and that of the Habsburg Emperor and rush to see the Emperor? If he didn't go for a war, what else could he go for?

Anyone who cares about current affairs in Europe will no longer be unfamiliar with Charles de Treville. It has to be said that this young man does have some abilities. He used his talents, which may have come from a noble family, to gain a very high status among the Bonaparte cabal full of conspirators, liars and bad guys, and has become what he is today. One of the most influential figures in France. Considering his age, we have to applaud his reactionary and cunning.

From the fragmented information we have so far about him, we can probably piece together a few silhouettes of this young man:

He is not a top orator, but he is used to using beautiful words and deceitful words to win the favor of others and conceal his true purpose; he has an amazing memory and knowledge beyond his age, which makes his conspiracy more sophisticated. ; He is keen and alert, but does not lack bold decision-making and courage when necessary. He learned from his father and ancestors the hypocrisy and tact inherent in upper-class people, and was familiar with the skills of conspiracy.

Therefore, when this young man encounters a complicated situation. He can handle things easily and calmly. He deceives everyone he trusts or distrusts and takes advantage of their emotions. Maybe even deceiving yourself. He is as shameless as his friends, so he can take any sudden verbal attack as if it were nothing; his extremely selfish attitude and usual tact make him rarely reveal his true feelings. The noble's natural arrogance makes him unusually calm.

He looks handsome, which makes him even more capable of deceiving people. Under the surface of enthusiasm and frivolity, there is a complete coldness, which is enough to turn anyone away from his heart. But when necessary, he was good at telling clever witticisms, so that he could win the favor of others-whenever he wanted to please someone, he always found a way.

He almost never loses his temper, but he has ideas to make his opponents furious and profit from it. He knows what means he can use to realize other people's nightmares and make everyone terrified.

It was as dangerous to be a friend as to be an enemy of this man, who, if nothing else, could pollute Europe with his machinations and audacity for decades.

Under his guidance. A war against Russia seemed inevitable and imminent.

Yes, as the grandson of a general who failed to invade Russia, he should have some inherent hatred for Russia. However, we know that history is never driven by one person. Behind a superficial pusher, there must be a group of people pushing him forward.

As I analyzed in my previous article, after decades of general peace, the major powers in Europe have suffered from peace fatigue. They are bent on reconstructing the map of Europe in their own way, and this ambition It will inevitably lead Europe into war - until one side is knocked to the ground. Only then will this ambition be satisfied.

And this ambition is particularly strong in France.

France had just experienced two great turmoils, which turned it from a monarchy to a republic and was about to change back to a monarchy again. Louis Bonaparte took advantage of one and initiated the other on his own initiative. So in order to make the French forget his lawless evil deeds, he must come up with something that can distract the people's attention.

And the army he relied on to maintain his regime was also eager to get a war, a game of victory and conquest from him as the devil's reward - and relying on the army to rule is the essence of Bonapartism.

As long as there is a Bonaparte France, then Europe will definitely not know what peace is, and a war against Russia will only be the beginning - if the sword is not taken away from Bonaparte's hands.

Very regrettable. At this moment, compared with France, other European powers, even if they are not so radical, are not much better. Not only the notorious Habsburgs and Romanovs kept shouting their usual high-pitched words of martial arts and expansion, but even Britain was unknowingly being dragged into the storm.

Yes, the expansion of the Russians in Eastern Europe and Central Asia has caused unprecedented resentment among the British - although the Tsar himself is still unaware of it. For the sake of India and the Straits, the British can forget the meaning of the surname Bonaparte and stand with the French soldiers.

As for the Russians? May God forgive his greedy and tyrannical rulers! They only have their eyes on the land on the border and only want to push the border forward step by step. This idea has completely captured their heads, so that even if there is a guillotine in front of them, they still rush forward with their eyes closed! Yes, the Tsars are still immersed in the halo they have woven for themselves, and are unwilling to make any compromises that any wise ruler should make.

So what about Austria?

The country ruled by the Habsburg royal family is undoubtedly a national cage and a holy land of corruption and stupidity. Despite its vast territory, it has inevitably fallen into decadence and is being constantly eroded by modern progressive ideas.

In the storm a few years ago, its shaky rule was barely maintained by Russian soldiers, so its weakness will last for a long time.

Of course, we all know. The Habsburg family has always been a family of opportunism and ingratitude, so they will not stand on the side of Russia. As for whether they will stand on the side of Britain and France or seek neutrality, it depends on the result of the deal between Treville and the Habsburg Emperor. We will pay close attention to the movements of the two countries in the future.

Now, we can assert that whether Austria is neutral or involved, if everything develops according to the normal situation, then in the near future. Maybe within one or two years, the war against Russia will break out. And at that time, we can see how weak a country the Cossacks are guarding under the cover of the martial slogans shouted by the tsars.

As long as Britain and France join hands, Russia's defeat in the war is an inevitable prospect.

Now it seems to us that Louis Bonaparte and his followers have achieved an unprecedented diplomatic victory - although their victory was achieved by inciting conspiracy and diplomatic tension, and even launching wars.

But the victory of gamblers will never last, especially those who cannot leave the gambling table and can only shout and raise the stakes again and again. The Bonaparte group was tied to the stage because of their victory. And until the tragic curtain call, they could not leave the stage, so they could only use ridiculous behavior to please the audience under the stage.

Louis Bonaparte was a man who had nothing to do except playing conspiracy and boasting, so his greatest effort in governing was to brag about his father madly, create a myth of a saintly monarch, and create a source of legitimacy for his country.

This ridiculous performance may deceive the French people temporarily, but it is impossible to deceive this great nation forever. Sooner or later, the people will find out how ridiculous the myths they made for their fathers are. So much so that it eroded the quality of some of the original achievements of the fathers, and Napoleon's original achievements were bound to fade because of his nephew.

At the same time, after the greatest efforts of the French people, we have now entered a brand new era. Even the most reactionary and corrupt class and ruler must cover themselves with a veil of progress.

However, no matter how idealistic they are in words, they act in accordance with their shameless logic. They gave sweet words to the people, and then turned around and bowed to the oldest and most reactionary royal family, as if they could get a lot of glory from it - this is not schizophrenia. This is the path they must take, and all those who use the revolution but are not loyal to it will take this path.

It is for this reason that Charles de Treville publicly declared himself to be a pro-Austrian and ran to bow to the Habsburgs.

Bonaparte and his party members, who shouted revolution and civil rights, only thought about their own power and interests. They did not hate the feudal emperors who oppressed the people, but they only hated that they could not quickly become brothers with the royal family who looked down on them!

And can the Habsburg emperor, a young man with hypocrisy and cunning as his traditional family tradition, suppress his disgust for this group of people and receive Treville with a cordial attitude?

In my opinion, this is certain - as long as Louis-Bonaparte and his accomplices show an attitude of abandoning the revolution and showing the same cruelty and cunning as the old royal family, then they will definitely be warmly welcomed - the emperors only like demons, but they want to put all angels in the dungeon.

So we can see that a group of the most reactionary and degenerate people like Louis-Bonaparte and de Treville, a group of descendants of warlords and nobles, are the most respected by the emperors. Although they say many different slogans, they are essentially in tune with each other. As long as they can maintain their pitiful and shaky regimes, they can do anything.

These people shout about the progress of the country, the welfare of the people, and the peace of Europe. And what kind of peace do they want? Naturally, it can only be the peace of the ambitious people who usurped the fruits of the revolution, and naturally it can only be the peace that satisfies the emperor and the nobles; the Europe they want is a Europe that drives the people to kill each other so that they can enjoy all the wealth of the country for their own pleasure!

However, the course of history will never regress because of the ridiculous performances of these clowns. The pace of mankind towards freedom and prosperity is unstoppable, although there will be occasional setbacks.

These people think they can hold the country in their hands and drive the people who are deceived by them to kill each other. However, the wars they wantonly launched will not be extinguished as they wish. One day, these raging wars will devour themselves and turn every crown in Europe into ashes!

And that day will be the day of rebirth on the European continent, and it will also be the day when the proletariat will gain true freedom! (~^~)
