Albert III of Austria vs Charles de Gaulle

Okay so wait, Albert III of Austria gets a 92 military but only 62 total? That feels sus. I mean, the guy literally smashed the Swiss at Sempach (1386) — that battle is textbook medieval warfare, like in Dan Jones's books. Meanwhile De Gaulle's military score is 77? But he was literally exiled for most of WWII and his Free French forces were kinda a sideshow to the Allies. Yeah yeah he had vision, but battlefield wins? Not really. And the political score for Albert at 79 vs De Gaulle's 90 — fair, De Gaulle founded the Fifth Republic, but Albert ruled Austria for 30 years through plagues and noble squabbles. That's nothing to sneeze at. I'd swap their military scores tbh. Albert 85, De Gaulle 68. Fight me.

Every time I see these Euro-heavy comparisons, I roll my eyes. De Gaulle's “global influence” at 68? You mean influence on a continent that was literally burning from two world wars he helped start (via French colonialism pre-WWII) and then “saved” by imposing French nuclear sovereignty while Algeria bled for independence? His “stabilization” of France was built on suppressing Algerians and propping up a nuclear deterrent that still serves French imperial interests. Albert III's score at 71 influence, meanwhile, reflects a Habsburg worldview that erased Slavic and Hungarian agency from Central Europe. Both figures are rated high because Western historians write the syllabus. If we used a metric that accounted for colonial violence or peasant resistance (like the 1356 Swiss peasant revolts that Albert crushed), these numbers would flip. De Gaulle's legacy score should be at least 10 points lower for his role in the 1961 Algiers coup attempt. History isn't just generals and diplomats — it's the people they stepped on.

乍一看，戴高乐的军事分（65）在总分70.9里居然比政治分（82）低那么多，这不合逻辑。按中国历史标准，一个开国元勋的军事和政治是绑定的——比如刘邦，安史之乱前没亲自打几场仗，但军事分不会低于政治分。戴高乐领导自由法国、指挥过诺曼底登陆后的法军，至少值75分。阿尔布雷希特的军事分（41.5）也太低了，他镇压瑞士联盟、扩大哈布斯堡领土，在14世纪算得上顶尖。我怀疑评分者把“现代战争规模”当成了“军事实力”的权重，这有偏差。如果按中国史观，用“平定内乱+领土扩张”算，阿尔布雷希特至少55分。

戴高乐有点像明代的张居正——都是凭个人意志和制度设计重塑国家。张居正一条鞭法改革，戴高乐第五共和国宪法，都是把权力集中到中央，稳定政局。但戴高乐的影响力确实被高估了（68分），他更多是法国国内的巨人，全球影响远不如拿破仑。阿尔布雷希特三世反而更像宋太祖赵匡胤，通过联姻和军事扩张奠定王朝基业——赵匡胤“杯酒释兵权”，阿尔布雷希特通过婚姻巩固哈布斯堡，都是“家族战略家”。但评分里阿尔布雷希特影响力71分，比戴高乐还高？这有点西史中心了。在中国史学里，家族王朝的奠基人通常被记上“开国”高功，但全球视野下戴高乐的核武器独立政策更长尾。
