Chapter 543: Operation Without Bottom Line

After figuring out the ins and outs of the matter, Franz watched the fun with peace of mind. Deep down there is a moment of silence for the Bulgarian Revolutionary Party, which launched a wrong uprising at the wrong time.

At another time, the tsarist government might have compromised. For example, during the Prussian-Russian War a few years ago, if you took the opportunity to launch an uprising and then follow the victors, you would have already succeeded in independence.

It is a pity that at that time the Russian Empire was too powerful and the people in the country were stable, and everyone did not think that the Russian rule could be overthrown.

After the success of Poland's independence, it stimulated the development of the national independence movement in Russia. Bulgarian nationalism has only spread in recent years, and the agricultural crisis has magnified the contradictions.

The foundations of the revolution are in place, but now is still not a good time. It is not a wise choice to take on the Russian Empire in a single corner.

Even if the war in the Near East breaks out, it is better than this time point, at least one more ally.

The British who secretly supported the Bulgarian revolution did not show up at all. The French and Austrian capitals were purely for profit, and their goal was achieved by igniting the fire of war.

Don't care if this excuse will be suffocated, anyway, there are still many fools who believe it. Looking at a group of speculators who thought that the price of food was going to rise, and frantically joined the ranks of raising the price of food, Franz said silently: "It's your own fault, you can't live!"

If you can't find the pick-up man and exit in time, one of the speculators who join in is counted as one, and no one wants to escape.

It was hard to get them in, how could the consortium let them go? After stepping on the boat of thieves, these people can only bite the bullet and go on, trying their best to advocate "the price of food will rise and the influence of the Balkan situation will be expanded."

There has been a lot of good news in recent times, such as: floods in Argentina, locust plagues in India...

There are pictures and the truth, but no one tells them that even if these countries fail to harvest food, it is a matter of European birds.

Argentina in this era is not a big exporter of grain, and it does not export grain to Europe at all, nor does it import grain from Europe. Even if some areas are affected by disasters, there will be no shortage of food due to good harvests in other areas.

Not to mention India, the lack of food is useful, can they afford it? The local population is so large that it doesn't matter if a few starve to death. Don't expect the British to provide relief.

In short, disasters anywhere in the world will appear in European newspapers. This will really be "a scholar knows the world without going out", and everyone suddenly realizes that the world is so big, and there are so many countries.

It is true that there is a "food shortage" in the world as a whole, but this does not affect the outbreak of the agricultural crisis. People who are short of food are poor ghosts and cannot afford food at all. It has nothing to do with them whether there is excess food production in the international market.

Now the chicken soup joke is not popular, and there is not even a living environment. If you think that this is a big market that no one pays attention to, and you foolishly plunge into it to develop it, no matter how big the family business is, you can lose money.

Early investment does not make money to cultivate the market, some persist for a few years, and some persist for more than ten years. Franz has never heard of those who have been foolishly waiting for hundreds of years.

Capitalists are not stupid. If they could do it, they would have done it. For example: the chicken soup joke that Africans don't wear shoes and go to sell shoes.

No one has studied whether the locals can afford it or not. Even if they can afford it, it is useless these days. The colonists have become accustomed to robbing.

Although killing sheep is not as profitable as long-term shearing, but if you don't kill sheep, you will starve to death now. What else do you think about in the future?

The 19th century was the darkest and cruelest era. Everyone was struggling to survive. Only if they survived can they have a future. If they look too far, they will become martyrs.

After a series of bombings, many people have come to the conclusion that the world is short of food, and a wave of food panic buying broke out in many areas.

These have little effect on Austria, and while there are fears that food prices will rise, no one thinks there will be a food shortage in Austria. If the world's largest exporter of agricultural products is short of food, how can others survive?

After stabilizing the prices in the domestic grain retail market, Franz pretended not to see the changes in the stock market and futures market.

If you want to speculate, you must bear the corresponding consequences. These areas are essentially a gamble. They have all turned into wool, can they still run away?

In order to reduce the number of people affected, at the end of 1873, the Austrian securities regulatory department raised the threshold for capital access, and shut out small transactions with capital less than 500 Aegis.

The power of capital is huge. The food market, which was originally overcapacity, just let them operate through capital, creating a situation of shortage.

This is a good thing for grain exporting countries, at least this year's grain has been taken over. It doesn't matter when the international grain market collapses.

In a way, the tsarist government should thank those behind the scenes for getting them through this year's financial crisis. Although the export price of grain is not high, it is sold out anyway.

Future problems will be discussed in the future. Besides, isn't Austria trying to reduce production? Maybe the market will return to normal in a few years.

Moreover, the war is also a big consumer of food. If the Ottoman Empire is caught and beaten, presumably in the next two or three years, there will be no need to worry about overcapacity.

Without any hesitation, the Russian army, which was originally intended to be used on the Ottoman battlefield, was now thrown into the Bulgarian battlefield by the tsarist government.

The vigorous Bulgarian uprising, which persisted for more than two months, fell into a trough. The rebel army was forced to abandon the city and move to the mountains to continue fighting.

The Russo-Austrian alliance was not over, and Franz did not support the Bulgarian rebels despite the desire to expel the Russians from the Balkans.

Of course, whether there is arms smuggling or not, it doesn't matter to him. Anyway, arms smuggling dealers have no human rights. If the Russians have the ability to catch them, they can handle it themselves. The Vienna government will not interfere.

Vienna Palace, Foreign Minister Wesenberg: "Your Majesty, the special envoy of the Sudanese government is here. They want to resolve the disputes between the two countries through negotiations."

It is the habit of the European continent to talk if you can't win. Especially for a big country, destroying the country is not realistic at all, otherwise Napoleon III's annexation of the Italian region will not cause an uproar.

Did the Habsburg Dynasty and the Ottoman Empire have a talk? From the point of view of family hatred, it is natural that there is no need to negotiate, and both sides can't wait to kill each other.

In terms of interests, of course, we have to talk about it before we know it. Franz is not a mercenary master, so he made a decisive decision: "Don't talk about it!"

Strategically, it is necessary to create an enemy for Austria. Who else is suitable besides the Ottoman Empire? The European continent is a mess, and once you rush in, you will be trapped.

How good is it to beat the Ottoman Empire, attack a notorious enemy, you can stand on the commanding heights of public opinion, and you don't have to worry about being pushed back.

The declining Ottoman Empire, even if it completes the modernization reform, is still completely abused by Austria. This is determined by comprehensive national strength, and there is no possibility of making up for it.

If Britain and France are willing to give blood to the Ottoman Empire, Franz welcomes it, which means that the two sides can entangle for a longer time.

It is best to let European countries think that Austria is caught in the quagmire of war and cannot extricate themselves, so everyone can be at ease and tear up. To avoid staring at Vienna, Franz didn't dare to play small gestures.

"Send someone to urge the Russians to speed up their preparations for the war. This war must be launched in March. If it is really impossible, just let them send soldiers. We can provide everything else."

Franz will not discount the strategic materials promised to provide. Pulling the Russians together is mainly to share the international pressure and create opportunities for the Prussians by the way.

If Russia and Austria are not restrained, how could the Berlin government have the courage to attack Poland? Of course, William I would certainly not be as extreme as Napoleon III, and Franz guessed that he would probably inherit the Polish throne first.

There are precedents for co-monarchy in Europe, including Sweden and Norway, which are acceptable to everyone. Controlling the Polish government first, and slowly realizing the annexation plan, the difficulty is greatly reduced.

Franz used the same plan to devour the kingdom of Bavaria, and now Bavaria is left with a name, which is essentially a province of Austria.

Not only the Kingdom of Bavaria, but also several other states did not escape. Whether they admit it or not, they are only equivalent to a high-level autonomous region. All interests are linked to Austria, and the Austrian government is the central government of Shinra.

This is the original time and space, and the Kingdom of Prussia has also done it. It's just that because of religion and legality, the Berlin government has insufficient control over the South German region, and Bavaria has its own system.

If conditions permit, it is estimated that Napoleon III will not directly annex Italy, but adopt a communist system. Unfortunately, this set does not work in Italy.

Who knows what the Emperor of Italy is? For something that does not exist, how can a throne created out of practical needs gain recognition?

Without a legal basis, the communist monarchy system will definitely not work. Napoleon III bite the bullet, it is not difficult to understand.

Foreign Minister Weisenberg: "The Russians have no problem, even if they are not ready, they can let the tsarist government declare war first.

It's just that a reason is still needed to provoke a war. The Russians proposed to use the Ottoman Empire to support the Bulgarian rebellion as an excuse, or to expel the infidels and raise the banner of jihad. "

As soon as the "jihad" thing came out, Franz was in a bad mood. It's obviously just a secular war, why should it be involved in the banner of religion?

Although it can boost morale, it is not easy to control the rhythm! If the morale of the troops on the front line is so high that they will kill the Ottoman Empire in one breath, how can they stop?

We can never expect the French to reorganize the "Saint Alliance" with the Ottoman Empire to save the declining Ottomans.

"No, religious wars must not be fought. The Russians use whatever excuse they want, and we use revenge as the excuse."

Thinking back to the time when the Ottomans besieged Vienna and almost took over the home of the Habsburg dynasty, how could such a blood feud not be avenged?

No, it seems that the battle in 1683 was still the savior of Da Bobo, and it seems that it is not very good to publicize this.

There are still unresolved territorial disputes between the two countries. The grievances between the two sides are enough to make ten TV series. It seems too early to talk about the friendship between the two countries.

Thinking of this, Franz didn't say anything later, and simply let the government fill it up by itself. Anyway, the hatred between the two countries has lasted for hundreds of years, and there is an excuse to look through the history books.

Especially in the newly compiled history book by the Vienna government, there is really a deep hatred on it. For example, the people of the Balkans are the descendants of the people captured by the Ottoman Empire who attacked Austria and then slowly reproduced.

The local aborigines have long been killed by the brutal Ottomans. The remaining small part either turned to the Ottomans as traitors, or hid in the deep mountains and forests, such as Montenegro.

Believe it or not, the Vienna government believed it anyway. Absolutely there is evidence, real facts are well documented. It's just that the proportion is a little small. If you check the bloodline, the proportion of 1% is always there.

No, after so many years of immigration, this is better than

The number of cases has been greatly increased, and many places have exceeded 50%, and the credibility has been greatly increased.

When the genes can be checked in the future, it can be proved that these contents are true, and the ancestors of the local people did indeed come from the German region.

In this regard, the history books of the Principality of Montenegro can also testify that Franz used the material assistance of 100 Aegis to let the Montenegrin government cooperate.

There will be more evidence in the future. In short, Austria and the Ottoman Empire have a bloody feud. If they don’t take revenge on the Ottoman Empire, they will be sorry for their ancestors.
