Chapter 129 You Fight Your Battles, I Fight Mine

France's behavior cannot be said to be unethical, but it can only be said to have no bottom line.

After a long negotiation in the Constituent Assembly, they finally decided to send troops, finally discussed the number of troops to send, finally decided on the direction of the troops, and finally got the battle plan, so they gloriously sent troops.

All we can say is long live the French Revolution. At the same time as France declared war, his army had already crossed the border between France and Germany.

As for who is leading the team now? Naturally, it is General Dumouriez who has surrendered to Robespierre.

It must be said that although General Dumouriez is not a good person and likes to jump back.

But his level is really good. The Austrian army guarding the border of the Netherlands was beaten up by him.

As for the reason for sending troops, of course it is to spread the advanced ideas of the French Revolution and help the European people to be liberated.

Overthrow the kings, nobles and churches that oppress them, so that the European people can be cleansed by the free ideas of the French Revolution and learn to fight for their own rights and interests.

Do you think the European people are willing? This is not a question that French revolutionaries should consider. What we need to do is to spread the message. Whether you accept it or not is your business. If there is no spread, how can there be acceptance?

Of course, first, the European people are definitely willing. Who likes to be oppressed? Isn't freedom and democracy better than the hateful monarchy?

Second, the early chaos made the Constituent Assembly still unable to completely control the whole of France even today.

There are constant riots in various parts of France. At the same time, even in some border coastal areas, such as the Normandy region of France, there are local farmers who want to lure British warships to land with soldiers.

Fortunately, the local army quickly suppressed this activity, but it is undoubtedly a situation that the French government or the current Constituent Assembly is gradually losing control of the local area.

What's more, the Prussian and Austrian troops have been deployed on the border. They may come in to interfere at any time. In this case, why should they stay?

Civil unrest can be easily suppressed. There is no difficulty at all, but foreign troops make the Constituent Assembly feel like a thorn in the back, which must be solved.

There is another very important point.

These French revolutionaries knew that from Robespierre's speech, from their votes to convict Louis XVI, from their decision to execute Louis XVI, they had already stood in opposition to all the monarchs in Europe.

Oh, without Sergei the Great, Sergei the Great was not afraid of the spread of the ideas of the French Revolution.

Sergei the Great had already destroyed the two principalities of Moldavia and Wallachia with the help of the last Russo-Turkish War, and now both Moldavia and Wallachia have a strong hatred for the Russians.

Under Selim's instruction, the Ottoman Empire deliberately made a big propaganda on this point, publicizing the atrocities of the Russian army everywhere, such as burning, killing, looting, and raping women.

It directly aroused the resistance of all residents of the two principalities of Moldavia and Wallachia against the Russians.

The next step is nothing more than to aggravate this hatred, and at the same time transform this hatred for the Russians into a sincere patriotism for the Ottoman Empire.

In this case, what is independence? What is resistance? There is no need.

Although the Ottoman Empire did almost nothing during its five hundred years of rule and did not complete the assimilation of the Balkans.

But one thing to understand is that the Ottoman Empire actually caused serious damage to the national identity of the locals.

Take Greece as an example. After the disappearance of the Western Roman Empire, Rome and Greece actually had a trend of integration.

After the rise of external forces such as the Arabs, the Byzantine Empire was oppressed from all sides, and the integration accelerated. In the era after Heraclius, Rome had almost deeply integrated with Greece.

To what extent did this integration reach? After the Latin Rebellion in 1204, the Latin Empire occupied Constantinople, the capital of the Byzantine Empire.

At that time, it was the Greek monarchy that took up the banner of restoring Rome, but there were also conflicts among Greece. After the Latin Rebellion in 1204, many Greek monarchies declared themselves to be the successors of Rome. Did the monarchy of Nicaea work together with Epirus?

Definitely not, they couldn't play together.

Moreover, the Ottoman Empire's conquest of various regions of Greece was not simultaneous, but intermittent, which further aggravated the gap.

If the Greeks' national identity is like this, how much stronger will people in other regions be?

The reconstruction and construction of the modern Balkan countries (some nations were formed in modern times) were originally completed in the struggle with the Ottoman Empire. One wanted independence and the other opposed independence, which was not good.

For the people in these disaster-stricken areas, the displacement caused by the last war is not over yet. Although the reconstruction plan of the two principalities of Moldavia and Wallachia has been released.

But there are still residents of the two principalities who are displaced, and even those who have returned, their living environment is not good.

First, they are not full, and second, this is done by the Russians.

They are not full again, and the target is set up. In this case, what space is there for the spread of national ideas?

As for Greece, Emperor Serpentis has already mixed a lot of sand in Greece and transferred many Muslims there.

At the same time, with the help of the last purge, the entire Greek power suffered a great blow. They no longer have the glory of the past. They have become dwarfs in politics and have been plundered by Emperor Sai the Great in economy. How can they still have the ability to oppose?

As for the Serbs and Bulgarians, these two have not suffered much damage. However, Xinchao Yazheng has learned about it. As far as Emperor Sai the Great knows, since Anna announced the change of surname, many Orthodox Christians have found local mosques and hope that the Ulema will preside over the improvement work for them.

This is not easy. Finally, there is a Sultan who treats the lower class as human beings.

Of course, the most important point is that the upper class of the Ottoman Empire is now able to understand the ideas of the French Revolution.

If the upper class can understand it, will they oppose themselves?

They are not advanced to this point. If the lower class cannot understand it, how can they oppose it?

Besides, Emperor Sai the Great is not not improving the lives of the lower class, allocating land to farmers, and abolishing slavery. This is itself a kind of progress and improvement.

Emperor Sai the Great does not need to worry. Other monarchs are not like this, and of course, France is not either.

For France, the current ruling party, whether it is the Girondists or the Jacobins, they have no good feelings towards the monarch and are trying to abolish the monarch. Such political ideas will inevitably be resisted and opposed by other monarchies.

As for the Plains, although they belong to the neutral faction, this does not mean that they have much good feelings towards the monarch. They also hope to limit or abolish the power of the monarch.

What also prompted France to send troops was that after these chaos. The economic situation of the whole France was already a mess.

The high debt left by Louis XVI was not offset. Necker could not solve this situation at all. He had already fled. In this case, the parliament must restore the French economy before.

How to restore it? , transfer pressure and promote production. The fresh and delicious Rhineland, the Netherlands, and northern Italy are waiting for France's favor.

As for what Emperor Serge thinks of France's behavior, it's none of my business. You fight your war, I get married, and everyone has a bright future.
