Fox of France

The economic crisis is getting worse. In Paris, although people with small green cards (legal French residency rights) can get a certain amount of food supply, there are more and more illegal immigrants, and the social security in Paris is still deteriorating.

Just three days ago, a mob of foreign thugs raided a bread distribution station, took bread that was supposed to be distributed in a certain neighbourhood, and killed a worker. After this incident was reported, it immediately aroused the general anger of Parisians towards "foreigners". Although Fouché worked very hard, he wiped out this "criminal gang" in just one day. The last thing some "criminals" in this criminal gang did before they were arrested was not even to resist arrest, but to rush Eat the looted bread. The court also made a verdict with super high efficiency. The two main criminals were sentenced to hang, and the twenty accomplices were sentenced to hard labor. But the people of Paris were not satisfied with this judgment, because they felt that at this time, all the dregs who snatched their bread should be beheaded (although the guillotine has been abolished because of its political significance). As a result, on the streets of Paris, locals attacked foreigners constantly.

Of course, the various newspapers controlled by the Ministry of Truth continued to play the role of "the conscience of France", calling on citizens not to "see foreigners with colored glasses" and calling on them to show "the tolerance and friendliness of the people of Paris". But everyone said to this one after another: "I can go to your friendliness!"

The newspapers of the Ministry of Truth are just shouting, and there is no real action. But the Ministry of Public Security, which can really take action, is firmly on the side of the Parisians. If the Parisians beat the illegal immigrant, well, the police didn't see it; if the Parisians beat the illegal immigrant, well, the illegal immigrant must have injured himself; (Say, are you trying to blackmail the French citizen?) If Parisians beat illegal immigrants to death, ah, there is such a thing, well, we will definitely catch the murderer in our lifetime!

But if illegal immigrants dare to fight back, it will be different. If an illegal immigrant wins the battle, he is trying to rob, and he will be sentenced to hard labor; if a group of illegal immigrants wins, he is an organized crime group, and he must be dealt with strictly and quickly. If you lose, well, if you lose alone, it's an attempted crime;

Discrimination against illegal immigrants by the Ministry of Public Security and the Ministry of Justice (the Ministry of Justice) has become almost blatant, and for good reason. Because it is the inspiration from above.

It is said that the First Consul said the following to Minister Fouché: "The people's life is bad, and it is impossible for them to have no grievances in their hearts. This grievance must be let them vent, and they must not be vented at foreigners. Are they venting their grievances on us?"

Therefore, the entire economic crisis was caused by foreigners, and now these foreigners are stealing from us and robbing us. The French, even the "preparatory French" who have the right of residence are full of anger at those illegal immigrants.

Under such circumstances, the Consulate began to announce the expansion of conscription to protect the French borders and defend the French people.

The French army has always been well treated. One of Napoleon's creeds is: "The poor can't have poor soldiers, and the poor can't suffer from the army." The French army did make way for economic construction when changing weapons and other things, but since Napoleon became the first ruling, the French army The military pay has never given way for anyone. Because Napoleon knew that without the support of the army, there would be Brustus in the Senate of the Republic.

So in France, being a soldier is a very rich career. Although it is not like during the war, soldiers can get land directly after retiring, but the military salary has been further increased, and there are many other discounts. So in France, being a soldier is even something that needs to go through the back door.

Now that France has expanded its recruitment of troops, it immediately aroused an upsurge of "joining the army and serving the country". Although some people say that the large-scale recruitment at this time is not because of the domestic economic crisis, and the need for foreign aggression. But the French people, especially those queuing up at the army's medical check-ups, said they didn't care.

This is probably also because in the later stages of the previous war, Napoleon's army was always able to defeat the enemy with very small losses, and after each victory, there was a very generous victory allowance. Especially some veterans, after retiring from the army, when chatting with others, they will always say: "Military pay? That thing is a little more, and the victory allowance is the big one. Let me tell you, as long as there is a war, the combat allowance will be paid. You don’t remember how much the military salary is every month; as long as you win and the victory allowance is issued, you don’t remember how much the combat allowance is, hahahaha…”

Moreover, veterans also have their own organizations and banks that the organizations contact for them. Their deposits are basically aggregated to the Veterans Federation first, and then deposited into the Bank of Rome in the form of structured deposits. The interest rate is higher than that of ordinary deposits, and it has not been affected by this turmoil. Therefore, when those skilled workers have exposed their bare buttocks as the economic tide recedes, the lives of the retired soldiers have not been greatly affected, which also makes the French full of enthusiasm for joining the army.

The French joined the army enthusiastically, but they frightened the surrounding countries enough. The Spanish ambassador found Talleyrand and asked insincerely if there was anything wrong with Spain that made the French unhappy. And it has been constantly emphasized that the two countries have been friendly for generations and allies with the same beliefs. The traditional friendship between the two countries is higher than the Pyrenees and deeper than the Atlantic Ocean.

Of course, after charging a certain consulting fee, Talleyrand also told them that France has always attached importance to the traditional friendship with Spain and is willing to work together with Spain in order to survive this crisis together.

It was the Austrians who came to Talleyrand next. Metternich, who was about to leave to return to Vienna, suddenly received a domestic notice: don't come back, and find out the details of France's recent military expansion.

So Metternich invited Talleyrand to the Moulin Rouge for an evening on the grounds that he was about to leave Paris and go back to his country and wanted to have a good time with his friends. Among them, after successfully bribing, Metternich asked bluntly who the French were targeting, and if the target was not Austria, could Austria join in and make a fortune.

In this regard, Talleyrand said that the friendship between France and Austria can stand the test. Austria need not worry unnecessarily. France's military expansion is mainly due to domestic needs. If it needs to use troops, it will certainly not be in Europe.

Although Talleyrand's words may not be completely reliable, it is at least a consolation for Austria. Metternich continued to ask the direction of the French. Talleyrand would not say any more.

One month later, it will be the New Year. During this month, the French expanded their army by 500,000, which scared the whole of Europe to tremble. And at this time, it is time for the French government to issue the State of the Union address and announce the new year's budget. The whole of Europe is waiting, paying attention, trying to see from France's new State of the Union address and budget order something.
