The Vienna Conference was ongoing, yet the refugee issue, which should have received significant attention, was subconsciously ignored by everyone.
The Russian representatives didn't mention it, and the Prussian representatives played dumb; with no one seeking aid, the international community naturally assumed the issue was already past.
Starting from an unknown point, the main task of the military forces on the border between Prussia and Russia had shifted from combat to suppressing refugee uprisings.
Since April, the number of refugees fleeing to Austria had drastically reduced, and by May there were virtually no border crossings.
Franz neither knew nor dared to ask what had happened during that time.
According to estimates collected by the Vienna Government, the Prusso-Russian War had resulted in at least four million deaths and more than six million displaced individuals.
