At the same time as the industrial restructuring, Franz did not forget to trouble the Russians and disrupt as much as possible the plans of Alexander II.
There are no allies in front of the interests, no right or wrong, and identity determines the position. Limiting the trouble only to sabotaging Russian food exports, Franz was already restrained.
It is unrealistic to block all Russian food exports. It's not difficult to just set up some obstacles.
For example: The next door, Switzerland, gave the Russians a high tariff decisively after a little activity in the Austrian Foreign Ministry.
Another example: the German federal empire, at this time is still arguing whether to accept the Russian people's food debt. The reason is very simple, there is no opposition to the Russian state that lent money.
Behind this is the diplomatic influence of Austria, and more of it depends on the Russians. It is true that the Russians are unhappy, it can also be a reason, and it is also the main factor.
The grievances in it are already difficult to discern. In short, Russian enemies are all over Europe, and it is not difficult to target them.
Subsequently, Belgium and the Netherlands were also successfully publicized by Austria, which gave the Russians a high tariff, and Spain and Portugal were no exception.
The reason is very realistic. Who made the Russians down?
Perhaps the Russians will rise again in the future, but they are blocked by Prussia, Austria, and they need not worry at all.
The threat of Austria is before us. Who knows what kind of retaliation will happen if the goodwill of the Vienna government is rejected?
The lessons learned from the French annexation of the Italian states have frightened them. Even if Austria should pay attention to eating some food, it is unlikely to directly annex them, but an excuse for a meal might still happen.
After the news of the alliance between Britain, France, Austria and Austria came out, European countries no longer believed that they could rely on coercion to ensure their own security.
In this case, it's a little better. Maintain a good relationship with the neighbors around them, making them embarrassed to do it.
Don't feel ill-used, this is how the small country lives. Noisy emotions are okay during normal times. Don't stand in line at critical moments.
Franz was too lazy to do the rest of Britain and France. Don't look at everyone in the alliance, but if you take it seriously, you lose.
From the beginning, this alliance has its own misfortunes, because the interests have stood barely together, and there is no need to talk about the interests.
It is not difficult to persuade Britain and France, but the Russo-Austrian alliance is about to collapse. Frankly, Franz no longer cares about this alliance, but does not mean that he will actively tear up the covenant.
This is related to national credibility. A country that ignores the covenant will not be respected internationally.
Once Austria tears up the Russian-Australian alliance, it will no longer be possible to obtain its detached status, and it will even be excluded in the upcoming three-nation alliance.
Fao's friendship with the British is mainly due to the fact that the British have sold too many allies to their allies, making people unconsciously beware of it.
Franz wasn't ready to try, and if he did, Austria would no longer be considered a reliable ally.
This establishment was the result of years of painstaking efforts by the Habsburgs and has been maintained for many years. From Vienna to the present, Austria has held the right to speak in continental Europe during this period. This person also played a key role.
When forming an alliance, everyone will have a reliable concept in the subconscious. Now Russia and Austria are just playing fair competition, diplomacy is not enough, that is their own pot, Franz has no means to play beyond the rules.
Otherwise, a sudden appearance of pirates in the Aegean Sea could block the Russian door. The broken ships of the Black Sea Fleet are really not pirates' opponents.
The Tsarist government has set a record of annihilating a naval fleet by pirates. If it comes again, I don't know if Alexander II can stand it.
The price paid for buying English and French is too great. Moreover, there is no need to buy it at all, and it is difficult for Russians to do so.
With each change, the interests of vested interests are undermined. These people are the biggest opposition. Nobles and farmers in Britain and France are the biggest resisters of cheap Russian food.
Feel free to solicit public opinion, and with the "good" reputation of the Russians, it is estimated that the people will again march and block the door.
These measures have not yet been launched, and the best time is for the Russian grain carriers to come to shore. It is more effective to encourage a few secondary two teenagers to set a fire than to say anything.
Small tricks are still difficult to reach the elegant hall, at most they will be intercepted for two or three years, making the Russians pay a little more.
In the later period, capitalists will always cooperate with the Russians for the benefit. As long as the two sides are engaged, these small means will be useless.
The main reason that Franz does not like to use conspiracy is here, no matter how it is calculated, it is insignificant in front of interests.
It wasn't just Austria that shot Russians, Prussians were even more aggressive. Compared with the Vienna government, the Berlin government is more worried about the rise of the Russian Empire.
Seeing Alexander II's hard work, reforming the internal affairs, developing the economy, and restoring national strength, the Berlin government did not relax.
The two sides are already deadly enemies, and there is no possibility of easing. Once the Russian Empire recovers, the Russian-Prussian War will break out again.
The Junker aristocracy was ready to start thinking. They had tasted the sweetness and wanted to get greater benefits from the Russians.
Without practice, it is inferior in strength and unable to attack the Russian Empire.
The relations between Austria and Austria have eased a lot in the past two years. Austria has also secretly pumped up the Berlin government. Many pro-Austrian Juncker nobles are also anti-Russia pioneers.
Anti-Russia is now politically correct in the Kingdom of Prussia. After all, everyone around you is anti-Russian. If you do not anti-Russian, everyone will notice.
After the Russo-Austrian League expires, Franz is considering whether to continue to renew the contract with the Russians. Geopolitical relations, and conflicts of interest between the two countries will continue to increase in the future.
Franz had no confidence in the integrity of the Tsarist government. Alexander II was also an ambitious monarch, but he was unlucky enough to catch up with the empire's transition from prosperity to decline and was forced to carry out social reforms.
This is a common problem of almost all the heroes, and their ambitions are relatively large. If the Russians had settled Poland and Prussia, Russia and Austria would have to turn their heads.
The French were brought into the ditch, and Napoleon III's old man was too late to pave the way for his son. It was unlikely that he would take a military adventure at this time.
When Napoleon IV succeeded to the throne, the suppressed internal contradictions broke out, the Italians wanted to become independent, and it was considered God ’s blessing that France did not have a civil war. There was simply no strength behind the Austrian sword.
The Russian-Prussian contradiction cannot be alleviated at all, and wanting them to unite is foolish dreaming. Conflicts in core interests will allow them to continue to meet each other.
The international situation has determined that Austria no longer needs to worry about multi-line operations. At this time, the Russian-Austrian alliance with different minds was a chicken rib to Austria.
As long as Austria doesn't do things in continental Europe, there is no need to worry about being beaten up. There is no love or hate for no reason, and no siege for no reason.
If the Russians fail again in the next Russian-Prussian war, this European road roller will be dead. There is no covenant constraint, which just makes it easier for Austria to go down.
Conversely, if the Prussian defeat, then the noble Junker who had lost his foundation would have to compromise with Austria and join the Shinra Empire to protect himself.
It seems that both endings are very good. As long as the French are not allowed to jump out of the Italian quagmire, Franz is fearless.
After all, Franz still didn't reveal his thoughts. From the outside, Russia and Austria are still good allies, and Britain, France and Austria are about to become good allies.
The alliance of European countries usually has a time limit. Generally, thirty years is long, and the Russian-Austrian alliance is such a long-term agreement.
This is possible only when the relations between the two countries are quite good. But no matter how good a relationship is, it can't stand the time.
If the opposite is not the lord such as Alexander II, Russia-Austria relations can be maintained for many years. Unfortunately, there is no such thing as reality.
In the face of an ambitious Tsar, Franz could not be vigilant. With such a large butterfly effect, who can guarantee that Alexander II will be assassinated and killed as in original time and space?
If he continues to lead the Russian empire, Russia and Austria will sooner or later confront their interests. No, the two sides are now facing each other.
Without tearing the skin, that is not enough conflict of interest between the two parties. Seeing the big market face of the Russian Empire, Franz has always maintained the covenant.
There are many conflict points between the two sides, such as strategic conflicts. The Aegean Sea is now Austria's strength. Whether you want it or not, the task of guarding the Mediterranean portal falls to Austria.
The influence of the British in the Mediterranean has been squeezed. If Russia is allowed to come in, the shared interests are all their own interests.
Needless to say, at this time the Russians wanted to expand their influence in the Mediterranean, and even Franz would not provide a foothold.
It can be said that Napoleon III's calculations were successful that year. This is a conspiracy. Regardless of whether it is willing or not, as long as France withdraws, Russia and Austria will directly confront each other on the Mediterranean issue.
No conflict erupted, it was the poor strength of the Russians. The remaining old sailing ships of the Black Sea Fleet ran to the Mediterranean to brush their sense of existence, and they would most likely be wiped out by pirates.
Conflicts of interest are so cruel, nothing is impossible. That year, Napoleon III realized that France controlled the Balkan Peninsula, and the strategic pressure was too great, and he gave up this benefit decisively.
For the benefit of the door-to-door, the Vienna government could not turn it away and closed the French Balkan Peninsula. The task of confining the Russians fell to Austria's shoulders.
Before the British were squeezed out, Austria could pretend. Anyway, Greece is the younger brother supported by John Niu, and it should be their boss.
Now it's different. The interests of this region are in Austria's hands. The Russians come in to rob Austria's interests, and it is naturally impossible for the Vienna government to let go.
Involving such great interests, Alexander II was able to remain silent, and this tempting mansion could not be ignored by Franz.
Although it is known that this is a French calculation, in the face of interests, the Vienna government is happy to accept this calculation, which is the terrible nature of Yang Mo.
