With the continuous withdrawal of the Allies, the public security in France also deteriorated sharply. The Paris Revolutionary Government, which had just taken over the regime, obviously lacked political experience, and the response measures taken were even more ridiculous.

For example: "Economic Restoration Law", "Employment Law", "Social Assistance Law"...

It seems that these measures are very good, but in fact they ignore feasibility. Whether it is restoring the economy, increasing employment rates, or social assistance, they are inseparable from money.

It just so happened that France had no money now. The European War not only defeated the French government, but also the civil society groups were greatly damaged and were unable to provide funds for the Paris government.

I printed money when I had no money, and I don’t know which genius came up with the idea. The small amount of 1 franc and 2 francs have long since left the stage of history. Since the success of the Paris Revolution, the zero francs have continued to increase.

In France, where everyone is a billionaire, carrying a bag of money to buy bread is no longer news.

No matter how hard an ordinary person works, he cannot catch up with inflation. As the Times describes, the franc increases by one zero every month.

The economy has collapsed, and the Paris Revolutionary Government is still constantly fighting. President Robert, as a scapegoat, has long been ousted by the angry French people. Now the 17th President of the French Republic - Baptiste.

On average, two governments are changed every month, which truly reflects the fact that "the emperor takes turns to do it and arrives at my house next year." It can be said that any political faction with some energy has become president.

However, the final outcome is the same. No matter who comes to power, it won’t last long, let alone control the situation.

After hanging a cigar and sucking the clouds and mist, President Baptist asked: "When will the assistance of the Continental Union be fulfilled?"

France has no money and wants to get rid of financial difficulties can only seek help from the international community. There is no doubt that the only thing that can help them with the current situation is the Continental Union.

Although the British were rich, John's bull's money was hot! The current European overlord is the Holy Roman Empire. He went to entangle with the British, and was looking for death.

Foreign Minister Fernandez: "I am very sorry, Your Excellency the President. The Continental Union has issued the final record, ordering us to determine the candidate for the king within one month and restore the monarchy.

If we cannot meet their requirements, not only will international assistance be gone, but we may also be subject to sanctions from the alliance.

Just yesterday morning, Chekov, President of the Food Commission of the Holy Roman Empire, released the "White Paper on Food Export", reducing the total amount of food planned to be exported to my country in the second half of the year by one million tons."

Theoretically, after giving up the Italian region, France no longer lacked food. But this was just theoretically. Because of the war, France's agricultural production suffered a devastating blow and food had to rely on international imports.

It has been a day or two since the Holy Roman Empire monopolized European food trade. With the birth of the Continental Union, this monopoly has been pushed to the extreme.

As an enhanced version of the EU, customs unions are naturally indispensable. If agricultural products from American countries want to be imported into France, they also have to pay high tariffs.

If the tariffs were collected by the French government, these were naturally not problems. Unfortunately, as part of the debt repayment fund, France's tariff rights had long fallen into the hands of the anti-French alliance.

Tax evasion is impossible. It involves its own interests. The Vienna government is very concerned about the import of foreign agricultural products and industrial and commercial products. Even if someone wants to smuggle, he can only get the goods from his own.

Against this background, the Holy Roman Empire lowered its food exports to France, which was undoubtedly a fatal blow to the Paris government.

Once food imports are insufficient and a great famine breaks out, the Paris Revolutionary Government will be swallowed up in an instant.

"We have done so much effort, isn't there any effect at all?"

After saying that, Baptist closed his eyes. The facts were in front of him. Any country in the alliance that would not have reached the point where they were talking to them.

As a member of the Republican, Baptiste had no way to compromise on the issue of restoration.

In fact, even if the Paris Revolutionary Government is willing to compromise, it will not be able to achieve results for a while.

It seems that the republicans are in power, but in fact, the most common one in the government is the royal party. If the three royal parties were not close to each other and restrained each other, there would be no republicans at all.

Foreign Minister Fernandez waved his hand and said helplessly: "This is the responsibility of the Bonaparte dynasty. All countries in Europe have been offended by them, so that our current diplomatic work is difficult to carry out.

It is not possible to change this situation overnight. Unless the climax of the continental revolution comes again, otherwise…”

The Bonaparte dynasty offended many countries, and the Paris Revolutionary Government also offended many countries. The word "revolutionary party" alone is enough to arouse strong dissatisfaction among everyone.

Revolutions are also contagious. The Continental Union is keen on promoting the restoration of France, essentially to curb the spread of revolutionary ideas.

Baptist interrupted: "Stop talking, now is not the time to export revolutionary ideas. Once we start to export revolutionary ideas, the Russians outside Paris will come to the door immediately and send us to the guillotine!

It’s not that I’m afraid, but mainly because the power of the monarchy and feudal system is too strong now. We don’t have the ability to collide in a short period of time, so there is no need to make fearless sacrifices.”

Prime Minister Michael warned: "His Excellency the President is right, it is indeed not suitable to fight head-on with the enemy now.

At present, the most important thing for us is to solve the refugee problem and unemployment problem. Especially the refugee problem, it has become a cancer that endangers national security.

Many local governments can no longer hold on. If we cannot come up with measures as soon as possible, they will attract refugees to Paris.

In fact, some places have started to do it. I went around Paris and the actual situation was ten times worse than we had expected.

The relief grain distributed by the government cannot be fully covered. Many places are already in chaos. I witnessed three robberies in one morning.

This is still Paris, and the public security in other parts of the country will only be worse. If we cannot find a way to restore order as soon as possible, I am afraid..."

The problem is in front of you and everyone can see it. Unfortunately, everyone is confused when it solves it. If it can be easily solved, France will not change governments frequently.

...

In the distance, a group of ragged people appeared on the horizon. There were men, women, young and old. It can be seen that this group of people who looked like the army of "beggars" escaped.

A middle-aged man in the lead said panting: "Paris is ahead, and we will have bread when we arrive!"

"Really? We won't let us eat grass roots again, bark!"

The young man's tender face released a skeptical look, which made the middle-aged man very embarrassed.

"Of course it's true. This is Paris, our capital. The richest place in France, you can definitely find food!"

In fact, middle-aged men were not sure. Along the way, they suffered too many blows and were almost numb.

Residents along the way regarded them as beasts. The so-called local government relief only had a piece of black bread or a potato every day. A meal was not enough, let alone a day.

If they want to survive, they cannot satisfy their hunger with wild vegetables. Unfortunately, there are too many refugees, and the wild vegetables are quickly eaten up. In the end, they can only satisfy their hunger with tree bark and grass roots.

The middle-aged man who didn't want to sit and wait for death resolutely led his whole family to Paris, which has become their last hope.

The middle-aged man's family was not the first to go to Paris, nor would they finally arrive in Paris. Since the main force of the anti-French alliance withdrew, refugees from all over the country have been pouring into Paris.

The Russian Army Command outside Paris was looking into the distance, General Yevgeny suddenly sighed.

"There are more and more refugees in Paris, and I don't know if the French government can stand it."

He is not the only one who cares about the French government. In fact, General Yevgeny is still a staunch anti-French faction.

If you want to ask the reason, it is that his father and brother met God in the Battle of Crimea. The country's hatred and family were mixed together, which is why Yevgeny took the initiative to join the garrison.

Rather than caring about the French government, it is better to care about the compensation the French government has to pay. Although Russia was able to receive only a few million Syrian shields in the first year, this was also an important income for the Tsarist government.

The fundamental purpose of the Russian army stationed in France is to ensure the normal performance of the compensation. Once France falls into chaos, Admiral Yevgeny's mission will not be completed.

"Your Excellency Commander, you're thinking too much. If the French government can't stand it, just change it to another one. No matter who wins or loses in the end, as long as they continue to fulfill their debts.

With this free time, it is better to find a way to buy some specialties and return to China and earn some pocket money.

I think the French's machinery and equipment are good. If you find an opportunity to seal up several factories and get their equipment back, you will definitely make a big profit.

Then..."

Before the middle-aged officer could finish his words, General Yevgeny interrupted: "Lieutenant General Andre, if you have a watery mind, go and do it! Don't let me get involved in this kind of losing money.

You can think of it if you want to buy mechanical equipment. Do you know that domestic industrial standards are all Austrian standards, and who do you sell French machinery to?”

Industrial standards are a flaw. Let’s not talk about whether domestic engineers will manipulate French machinery. The key is that the industrial chain cannot be connected.

Raw material specifications, spare parts replacement, and whether the product meets market standards all need to be considered.

If we really move France's machinery and equipment home, we have to move the entire industrial chain together. Obviously, this is impossible.

Relocation, installation and production not only require time, but also a large amount of capital investment. The funds required to change the national industrial chain are enough to bankrupt the Tsarist government a hundred times.

If you cannot relocate the industrial chain, just some industrial equipment is similar to scrap iron. If you dismantle machinery from Paris and return to China to sell scrap iron, you will have problems without compensation.

Of course, some low-tech industries with low demand for the industrial chain can still do this, but these industries are usually saturated.

It is not in their interest to capitalists replace mechanical equipment in their own factories just because the equipment they snatched is cheaper.
