It should be noted that although Venice was one of the main battlefields in the last Anti-French Alliance, its relatively prosperous Venice City, Treviso, and other places were not affected by war.
Moreover, the main force fighting in Northern Italy was the Austrian Army, while the Russian Army only passed through a few times. As a result, France demanded a war indemnity of 12 million francs for Venice.
With a proud demeanor, Count Saigul continued, "Pay a war indemnity of 4 million francs to Milan..."
The Foreign Minister of Milan felt a bit embarrassed upon hearing this.
In the last war, the Russian Army never even set foot on Milan's territory. They only intercepted a few Milanese merchant convoys in Switzerland and killed over 20 Milanese soldiers in battle.
Demanding 4 million for that is truly a bit harsh.
Count Saigul then read out the largest indemnity: "Pay a war indemnity of 32 million francs to our country."
