Chapter 125： Napoleon III came to power

France

After the bourgeois republican government suppressed the June revolution, it began to play tricks.

In order to win over interest groups, the bourgeois government chose to compromise with monarchists and sectarians. First, the economic program of the bourgeois republics was abandoned, and then the fiscal and taxation system of the July dynasty was restored.

On July 3, the French government announced the abolition of the state-owned railway plan; on July 11, the French government resumed high taxes on newspapers and publishing houses; on August 9, the French government began to restrict the freedom of publishing and assembly ...

These are nothing, there is no real pain for ordinary people, and some policies also help consolidate the regime. The next thing the French government did was to die.

On August 30th, the French government began to implement a 45-century tax surcharge;

On September 6, the French government announced the abolition of the 8-hour work system and the working time was extended to 12-14 hours;

On September 7, the French government announced the repeal of the Labor Protection Law, the Minimum Wage Protection Law ...

The French government increased taxes and repealed bills to protect the interests of the working class, which naturally aroused dissatisfaction among the French people.

The French people are not easy to bully. Workers and peasants whose interests have been damaged must naturally resist. Starting from 9 cases, riots have occurred in 23 provinces.

With such a deadly government in the next presidential election, the French people naturally used the ballots to **** the bourgeois government.

Louis Napoleon Bonaparte (Napoleon III) won a magical 75% of the votes. Under article 44 of the French Constitution, anyone who has lost French citizenship cannot be elected president.

Louis Napoleon Bonaparte not only lost his citizenship, joined Swiss citizenship, but also served as a special police officer in Britain. However, such a person actually became the president of France.

It is also funny to say that the aristocrats naturally opposed the Republican government and voted for Louis-Napoleon-Bonabas that they thought could not be elected; the bourgeoisie, whose interests were damaged during the revolution, also gave the vote to Louis- Bonaparte.

These obviously do not constitute an absolute majority, but after a turmoil, the French farmers remembered the good life of the Napoleon era and supported Louis-Napoleon-Bonabar.

Of course, the story behind this is not so simple, and Louis-Napoleon-Bonabas can not only succeed in his position but also requires his own efforts.

He boasted that he was the heir of his uncle Napoleon I, a resolute defender of "national unity," and also offered seditious programmes to all classes, making promising promises:

He promised to "freedom of religion" for Catholics;

Reassure workers “Elimination of unemployment”, “Amnesty arrested for June insurgents”, “Implementation of labor protection law”, “Promotion of eight-hour work day”;

Reassure farmers to "reduce taxes" and "protect private ownership of small land" to "eliminate poverty";

Use "low-interest loans", "tax cuts" to appease the bourgeoisie, and so on.

But secretly, Bonaparte was moving around to develop his party feathers; colluding with monarchs and sectarians; buying Moley and Thiers, reusing Persini, and using the "Poitiers Street Committee" of the king For yourself.

He spared a lot of money. Not only did he spend 300,000 francs, but he also withdrew 1 million francs from a British bank manager to create newspapers, publish brochures, compose music, etc., to build public opinion for his campaign and defeat his opponent. .

As a result of the British funding, the government of Louis-Napoleon-Bonaparte had to fall to the London government in the future.

The arrival of Louis-Napoleon-Bonabba means that a new internal struggle in the French government has begun again, and it may also indicate a new twist in French-Austrian relations.

Vienna

"His Majesty, immediately after the election of French President Louis-Napoleon Bonaparte, the French government's peace-loving reason was used to tear up the Fao Mieu. I am afraid it is not good for the Empire." Metternich frowned.

It was hard to win the French with a Fao Mijo, and it was destroyed by Louis-Napoleon Bonaparte.

Franz thought for a while and said, "The French-Australian Treaty is in the interest of the French, and even if the best opportunity to divide the Kingdom of Sardinia is lost, the French-Austrian Alliance can also help the French government open up its diplomatic dilemma.

Louis Napoleon Bonaparte is not a fool. He is so eager to tear up the treaty. I am afraid there are other factors behind it. Check to see if the British are making a ghost. "

John Bull was so unpopular, it became the object of suspicion in the first place.

"Yes, Your Majesty," Metternich replied.

The international environment that Austria faced during this period was still very easy. Even if the French broke the treaty, it was harmless to Austria.

Since Franz came to power, the Austrian government has deepened the Russian-Australian alliance and further developed the relationship between Britain and Austria.

The British had a motive to destroy the relationship between France and Austria, and the British Empire is no longer Great Britain 30 years ago.

With their strength, their political ambitions naturally increased. If Austria establishes the Vienna system again, they will still be excluded from European politics.

From the perspective of interests, the Vienna system has stabilized the European continent for thirty years, and Austria is completely making wedding dresses for the British.

Without the restraint of European affairs, British talents have the ability to expand abroad and build a huge colonial empire.

"Your Majesty, are we going to take revenge if it is a British hand?" Felix asked caringly.

"Let's come to Japan, and we will have a chance to talk again in the future," Franz replied calmly.

In this era, Austria was not afraid of the British Empire. It was long excluded from the European continent, and the Russians competed with them. The British did not have the power of later generations.

According to the code of conduct of the great powers, such an event must be revenge. It's just that Franz is not a man of anger, and in addition to revenge, he can't obtain practical benefits at all.

It's better to remember first, leave this excuse, and give them a trip when the future is profitable.

Paris

After tearing down Faolmeet, Louis-Napoleon Bonaparte began to regret it.

The plot for the Italian region is the need of French internal interest groups, and Faomi is only the first step they took. If not for the June Revolution, France has now occupied half of the Kingdom of Sardinia.

Now that he has torn up this secret treaty that is in the interest of France, naturally it has aroused many people's dissatisfaction. This is undoubtedly worse for Louis-Napoleon-Bonabar, who urgently needs to consolidate the government.

British support is really important, but it is no more important than interest. If these interest groups are not satisfied, his elected president may still get out of business.

The conspiracy of Louis Napoleon Bonaparte is still very powerful. While promising the interest groups to return to Italy, they have also introduced some positive reform policies, such as the repeal of additional tax laws and reductions during the Republican period. Taxes for newspapers and publishing houses ...

While reforming internally, we have not forgotten to improve diplomatic relations with the outside world. In addition to clinging to the thighs of the British, we also sent Marquis Trenwell to visit European countries to prepare for restoration.
