Chapter two hundred and ninety-two, to do something
The Vienna Conference is still continuing, and the refugee issue that should have attracted much attention has been subconsciously ignored by everyone.
The Russian representative did not mention it, and the Prussian representative pretended to be stupid and no one asked for help. The international community naturally thought that the matter had passed.
I don’t know when it started, the main task of the army on the border between Pakatan and Russia has changed from combat to suppressing refugee riots.
Starting from April, refugees fleeing to Austria have dropped drastically, and by May, there has been almost no crossing the line.
Franz didn't know what happened during this period and dared not ask.
According to estimates from the information collected by the Vienna government, the Prussian-Prussian War killed at least four million people and displaced more than six million people.
Including local troops and guerrillas, the Pudong army was killed in battle and 382,000 were disabled; the Russian army was killed in battle and about 1.433 million were injured and 671,000 were disabled; and the direct civilian casualties were about 800,000, most of them were in the Pudong Federation.
There is nothing strange about it. The war losses between PAS and Russia are so close that a large part of them are contributed by local Polish troops and guerrillas.
Bandits and bandits may have been made up for the numbers. There is no way to distinguish this thing. The Russian army has calculated all the resistance armed forces.
After abandoning the Warsaw area, Poland became an enemy war zone, so there was naturally no disability. The Russians would not rescue the enemy's wounded. The number of disabled people in the Prussian army came from soldiers in the Kingdom of Prussia.
Just calculating the Prussian Kingdom, the number of deaths in battle should be around 566,000, plus the number of disabled people of 382,000, approaching the millions of mark, and civilian casualties have passed.
Judging from the population base of more than 10 million in the Kingdom of Prussia, this war has defeated their generation. Due to the huge losses of young and strong people, the labor force has dropped sharply, and the development of the Kingdom of Prussia after the war is not optimistic.
In comparison, the Russian Empire is much better. Although they also suffered heavy casualties, compared with the Russian Empire's population base of 80 million, the losses on the battlefield were less than 3 percentage points.
In theory, the losses of this part of the labor force can be compensated within the next five to ten years.
Of course, the accounts cannot be calculated like this. The huge losses of young and strong will also affect future population growth, which is a persistent problem.
In the war, the worst people are always civilians, and this time is no exception. Because of the scorched earth plan of the Russians, the number of refugees increased.
Six million people are displaced, which does not mean that these people have become refugees.
The economic conditions are good, so I went to other countries to take refuge early, and this group of people may be at least less than 100,000.
There were about 200,000 other people who passed the Austrian immigration application and went to the colony to settle.
Before the fall of Warsaw, the Berlin government was still rescuing refugees, and some lucky people found jobs and built new homes.
The number of these people is about 300,000, most of them are Rhineland immigrants previously placed by the Berlin government. They have a skill and strong survivability.
Apart from these people, the rest are real refugees.
When this 5.4 million is a theoretical number, there is definitely not that much. Many weak and sick people meet God when they first fled, and they can run out at most 4.7 million to 80 million.
Before and after the outbreak of the Prussian-Russian War, Austria received a total of 1.436 million refugees, and it is difficult to exceed 1.5 million according to the current situation.
The protests of the Vienna government played a role, and Prussia and Russia did not have the courage to drive refugees over, and the wave of refugees that Franz was most worried about did not happen.
It has been more than four months since the refugee crisis broke out in full swing. It has not been relief for such a long time, but there are actually not many people left.
This means that the number of deaths caused by the refugee crisis directly exceeds the total number of casualties in Pratt and Russia.
I don’t know if I do it, and I’m shocked when I calculate it, and add up all the data, the direct population loss caused by this Prussian-Russian war exceeded 8 million, and the indirect population loss exceeded 10 million.
There are no fifteen countries with a population of more than 8 million these years, and there are only eight countries on the European continent: Austria, Russia, France, Britain, West, Germany, Public and Nordic countries.
Among them, the Nordic Federation had only a population of 8 million, and the German Federal Empire had only a population of more than 13 million. It is unknown whether the Prussian Kingdom could maintain its population of 8 million after the war.
It is impossible to say that such shocking data must be released. How can we understand the value of peace if we don’t let everyone know the horror of war?
Looking at this valuable statistics table, Prime Minister Wesenberg sighed: "The Russian-Prussian War is the pinnacle in the history of human wars. After this battle, the era of the Continental War ends!"
Looking at the cautious Prime Minister, Franz was very suspicious of him being scared, otherwise how could he come to this conclusion?
After glanced at everyone, Franz had no choice but to find that only the emperor did not respond, and the others were immersed in the big data of "eight million deaths".
Looking at the expressions of everyone, Franz was very suspicious that after the data was released, a wave of anti-war breaking out in Europe.
Especially for many small countries, their total population is less than 8 million. What should I use to fill the bottomless pit of war?
Franz interrupted: "Okay, everyone. No matter how much the losses in the Prussian-Russian war are, we should not have a headache.
Whether a war will break out on the European continent will be left to time to verify. Now we need to think about the next international changes.
The cruelty of war is more than we had expected, and the impact also exceeds expectations. Now we have to re-plan it."
There is no way, international politics is so changeable, and it is impossible to follow the plan. The international situation has changed, and if you don’t keep up immediately, you will be destined to be eliminated.
After a moment of pause, Foreign Minister Wesenberg said: "Your Majesty, the Russian-Prussian War has allowed everyone to see the cruelty of the war. When making decisions in the future, everyone will be more cautious.
Under normal circumstances, everyone will deliberately avoid starting wars on the European continent, and future international competition will gradually shift from the European continent to overseas.
The world has almost been divided up, and the subsequent overseas colonies and market competition will probably become unprecedentedly fierce."
This is an inevitable result. The cost of launching a war on the European continent is too high. If you are not careful, it can easily arouse public anger. The benefits you grab may not necessarily make up for the war expenses.
For details, please refer to this Prussian War. The Tsarist government finally won the war, and the spoils they harvested were not enough to make up for half of the losses in the war.
In this context, if necessary, everyone will definitely avoid the outbreak of war.
In a sense, the Prussian-Russian War also enhanced Austria's international influence. The Russians relied on the sea of people to kill the Popo Federation and refreshed everyone's three views.
Before this, the European War broke out, we had to consider whether we had money or not. Now it is different, and everyone must also consider whether there is anyone.
As the scale of the war grows, the traditional concept of having money has been eliminated by the times.
In terms of number of sales, Russia and Austria are undoubtedly in the first level. After adding foreign territory in Shanghai, Austria's war potential is still above the Russian Empire.
Following closely behind is France, with a total population of nearly 60 million, which is far behind other countries.
The Russians proved their strength with their numbers and firmly ranked as the fourth-strongest country in the European continent. The political structure of the three major European countries has a tendency to develop towards the four major countries.
On the ocean, the Royal Navy's super strong structure is very stable, and the position of the maritime overlord in Britain is as stable as Mount Tai, and the two pursuers of France and the OA can only look behind.
On land, France and Austria joined hands, with the Russians following closely behind.
Before the Prussian-Russian War, everyone agreed that the French Army was more awesome, and now that the ideas and ideas have been impacted, their views have also changed.
The French Army has a more brilliant record, but Austria can explode with more and more comprehensive national strength, giving people a sense of equal strength.
Everyone can't beat the British at sea, and everyone's strength is very close on land, so if they fight, they will lose both sides.
In this context, it is unrealistic to count on the PK of Britain, France and Austria. If the three giants who have obtained the largest share cannot compete with each other, they can only go overseas to bully the weak.
Franz nodded: "That's right. Most of the next international struggles will happen overseas. After the homeless land is divided, it's the small country's turn to be unlucky.
If nothing unexpected happens, the naval feast will begin again. However, as long as no one challenges the British's maritime hegemony, the naval feast will not last long.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs can have a secret contact with France and Russia, and try whether it can sign a treaty that limits the size of the army to avoid the outbreak of the continental war.”
Frankly speaking, Franz also wanted to challenge the British's maritime hegemony, but he was not strong enough and had to give up.
This is not enough to just build a ship. In terms of shipbuilding industry, Austria really has the opportunity to compete with the British, but it won’t work in other aspects.
The Austrian Navy has never encountered any decent opponents, so naturally there is no chance to accumulate war experience. The best war experience is to wipe out pirates.
If the shortcomings in this area can be made up for by the number of warships, then lack of money is a real flaw.
Austria's fiscal revenue is not low at all, but while maintaining the mainland army, it will be impossible to yell at sea.
Unlike the navy, the army can be mobilized quickly during wartime even if the size of the army is limited.
The psychological comfort of fiddling in the arms restriction treaty is greater than the substantial binding force.
Of course, there is better than nothing. Before the war breaks out, it can indeed save a lot of financial expenses. Only by saving military expenditure in the army can we invest more funds in the navy.
Even if the British cannot move their maritime overlord status, it is a great victory to narrow the gap in strength with the Royal Navy.
