Chapter 738： Lighted firecrackers

The economic crisis broke out suddenly, and the value of the franc was completely unsustainable. In just a few days, the value of the currency fell by 28.7%, shocking the world.

France is one of the top three in the world. Its economic aggregate ranks fifth in the world, and its military strength is second to none.

The Paris government sneezes, the world shakes. Such a giant, the financial system is so vulnerable, and just kneeled in just one round of attack.

After the harvest was completed, the consortium capital began to retreat, leaving international hot money to bear the anger of the French.

Just as: I came quietly, left with a mighty momentum, waved his sleeves, and did not take away a cloud.

Did not take away a cloud, just took a large amount of Aegis, pounds and gold.

It seemed that a tacit agreement was reached. After the withdrawal of the international consortium led by the British Olympics, the French consortium was long overdue and joined the resistance army.

Without capital predators, the remaining group of retail speculators is naturally not an opponent of the French consortium.

Watching the French consortium become famous in the First World War, it seemed as if he had become a hero of France overnight. Napoleon IV was half dead with anger. As the object of venting his anger, the vases in Versailles changed a lot.

Capital invasion politics, the absolute advantage established since the time of Napoleon III, no longer exists.

...

Vienna Palace, watching the French government's encounter, Franz was also a little bit sad.

After the economic crisis, the strength of the French consortium has greatly increased, and its influence on the government has further strengthened. The French empire in the future will become more lively.

After having a simple breakfast and throwing away all these annoyances, Franz was preparing to bathe in the soft sunshine. An unexpected visitor came.

Foreign Minister Weissenberger reported: "His Majesty, the workers' uprising broke out in Lyon last night, and the situation in France shows signs of getting out of control."

For a big country, external threats are no longer lethal, and only they can really defeat them.

There is no doubt that France is such a great power. At least in this era. As long as there is no group batter, no one is alone enough to destroy France.

Thousands of miles are lifted by ants, and no country can afford to toss internally.

The Lyon workers' uprising is just the beginning. If the economic crisis is not resolved, France will not be stable.

Franz asked in wonder: "Isn't the French government already distributing relief food, why is there an uprising?"

This was a good policy made during the Napoleon III era, and the French working class had unemployment benefits.

Under this favourable policy, although the French workers' movement is still booming, few uprisings have occurred.

Weissenberg explained: "According to the analysis of the news from the embassy, ​​the preliminary judgment should be related to the depreciation of the franc.

Affected by the devaluation of the currency, prices in France have risen wildly, and the original unemployment benefits cannot meet the daily expenses of workers. "

Franz nodded, without rushing to conclusions. Generally speaking, the crazy rise in prices is caused by many factors.

Inflation is just one of them. This factor generally works slowly. It is impossible to depreciate the franc today. The price will rise immediately, and the market needs time to react.

In contrast, Franz is more willing to believe that hoarding and scarce supplies have led to sharp rises in prices.

After hesitating for a while, Franz decided to lay down: "Privately fund an Italian independent organization for an activity and let them wait."

Despite his lack of confidence in the Italian independence movement, Franz was willing to add a bit of chaos to the French government.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Weissenberg replied.

After a pause, he added: "Your Majesty, according to the information gathered by our embassies, and under financial pressure, Alexander III gave the meritorious lands as a reward.

Affected by this, there have been varying degrees of unrest in Poland and East-Prussian areas that the Russians just occupied.

The Governor of the Tsar Government in Konigsberg conveyed through the colonial company, hoping that we could relax immigration restrictions. "

This is the sequel to the previous Cossack cavalry operations, and the Tsarist government had few local people's hearts and was completely tossed away.

It is impossible to gather the hearts of the people now, at least until this generation dies.

If the Russians want to re-establish the foundation of their rule, they must support the new ruling class. In this respect, Alexander III's decision was not wrong.

Instead of supporting the unreliable locals, it is better to change directly. By using land as a bounty, the government can also save a lot of money.

Similar things happened in Austria in the Balkans. It was only that before the operation in Austria, most of the local people had been immigrated, and there was no confusion.

Franz thought for a while and said, "You can contact the Russians and contact them in the name of a colonial company. It is not convenient for the government to participate directly.

However, immigration conditions cannot be relaxed. We just need to get rid of the local German people or the Germanic minority. "

Even after the baptism of war, Russia's Poland + Baltic Sea + Belarus + East and Prussia, the population of these lands all add up to nearly 10 million.

Unable to gather the hearts of the local people, these guys are the biggest unstable factor for the tsarist government.

If the tsarist government is strong enough in execution and the government's financial resources are strong enough, it can also pick out the die-hards in it, and then disperse them, and slowly digest them.

Unfortunately, this is impossible. The tsarist government has neither this execution nor such powerful financial resources.

The bearded period is almost the same, and all can be sent to grow potatoes. Prior to this, no tsarist government had such a powerful execution capability.

The Russians couldn't do it, and Austria couldn't afford it. Accepting a large number of ethnic minorities at once would be a lethal blow to assimilation.

There is also a limit to the great integration of nations. Once it exceeds that level, things will develop in the opposite direction.

Without enough benefits, the Russians' mess, Franz will naturally not answer.

From the standpoint of Austria, these people who hate the Tsarist government and drag the Russians are really better.

...

Affected by the Lyon workers' uprising, the Parisian people, who are revolutionary sacred places, must not be absent.

On December 11, 1881, the people of Paris launched a huge parade, hundreds of thousands of French people took to the streets in support of the Lyon workers' uprising.

Like firecrackers, France started to explode. On December 12, Toulouse was closely followed by a workers uprising,
