Here is the comment. Russia would be dealing with several revolts I think. Nationalism is not only the fact of the Chechens and as soon as Moscow cease to pay for peace, several might rise up. The Mongols might also be an interesting addition to this.

First questions why should the leader of France be Napoleonic (Hitler is out of the question)? It can be, however, a revival of the monarchy or extremist Republicans such as Robespierre (or even beter Marat). It can also be a type of communism. It is widely outlooked but communism is a reference to the Paris commune and the red flag was first raised in France (before 1789 it meant that you couldn't count on any mercy, by 1790 it was raised by the French National Guard and it was raised again in 1871 durng the Paris Commune).
Another question: Why would France expend toward Germany where it will have to enter a bitter fight (everything there has to be rebuilt, no industrial advantage, mining exploitation are all destroyed and already well exhausted)? IMO, the natural expension zone for France is Africa where it would be able to take over the ongoing genocide with nobody to complain about it. Raw materials might not be readily available but there is little extended destruction and raw materials are far from exhaustion.
Not a politically correct idea, I agree but couldn't it make sence?
