Chapter 796： Years are not forgiving

The international environment that has been disturbed has not affected Austria's Near East development plan, and all work is being carried out in an orderly manner.

In the first quarter alone, the Vienna government immigrated 128,000 people from the mainland to the Near East, and nearly half of them were newly-emerged military farmers.

Everyone is active in developing their own land. If it wasn't for fear of the "black death", the government would stop it and they would have passed.

After all, one day before development, one day earlier. Generally, the earliest immigrants have preferential treatment, and land can be selected in advance.

It is still the 19th century. The gap between industrial and agricultural scissors is far less than that of future generations. The background of food shortage in the world has not been improved, especially in the Asia-Pacific region.

Agriculture is still a "money-rich" industry, especially in the context of the European population explosion, and international food prices have slowly started to climb again.

In fact, Austria, the world's largest exporter of agricultural products, is also the largest food importer.

This is an increase in market demand brought about by population growth. After domestic food meets its own needs, the amount of grain that can be exported can be greatly reduced.

In this context, agricultural product processing companies engaged in international trade have to import raw grain from overseas in order to ensure the smooth delivery of orders.

This situation actually appeared during the Russian-Prussian War. The Vienna government was once prepared to lift the restrictions on the colonies and liberalize food cultivation and exports on the African continent.

It was only because of political influence that it was stopped by Franz. Instead, grain was imported from the Russian Empire and further processed for export.

In a sense, the Tsarist government was retained by the Vienna government's food policy.

Otherwise, there will be an additional African food-producing area, the international food prices will fall sharply, and the expensive Russian agricultural system will be the first to be destroyed.

There may even be an inversion of international food prices. After losing this financial resource, it is unknown whether the tsarist government can sustain it.

Of course, the government's food policy is not just for Russians. International food prices have fallen, and the biggest loss is still Austria, the world's number one agricultural exporter.

Austria's political system determines that the government must stabilize agriculture. Once the international food price collapses, the government can only subsidize food growers.

A common practice in later generations, it is still a little early.

The Vienna government is not so rich, and it can obviously make a lot of profits from it every year. Why should it be a losing trade?

Even the suppression of the Russians is not now. At this time, the knife was behind him, and maybe the tsarist government was finished in advance.

It is much safer to be a neighbor to a tsarist government that is slipping into the abyss than to deal with an unknown existence.

The result of overturning the table was the end of the pro-Austrian tsarist government, and Austria also suffered heavy losses. Only the major European food importers benefited.

Cheap food imports will reduce industrial and commercial production costs in various countries, thereby increasing the competitiveness of industrial and commercial products.

Purely a vicious circle of self-assertion, once Austria's advantages are opened, it will be greatly weakened.

...

Palace of vienna

The maid said softly, "Your Majesty, the cause of the Prime Minister's fainting has been found. It is said that the blood supply to the brain was insufficient.

The doctor recommends more rest and recuperation. This is the resignation submitted by the Prime Minister, please look over. "

This may not be a serious illness in later generations, but it is very terrible in this era. It belongs to the kind of disease that may die at any time.

Without specific drugs, even controlling the condition is difficult. The only thing that can be done is to nurse and then look forward to God's blessing.

Taking the resignation from the maid, after glanced at it, Franz did not immediately approve.

After sighing, he commanded: "Prepare the car, I'm going out of the palace."

"Yes, Your Majesty!" The maid answered.

Today, Prime Minister Felix is ​​also a flag of Austria.

Even if he is unable to perform the job of the Prime Minister, as long as he names him and appears from time to time, he can serve to stabilize the heart.

Especially for the German nationalists, Prime Minister Felix is ​​their spiritual leader and has been working hard in the German region to unify.

Since 1853, Felix has visited the states of the German region almost every year to discuss the issue of "peaceful reunification".

Over the years, no small results have been achieved. Although it is still far away from the real unification, everyone has come together economically and culturally.

The Customs Union is a must. No one can reject Austria's big market. The economic prosperity of North Germany cannot be separated from Austria's support.

As of now, Aegis can freely circulate in the German region without any restrictions. There are even 16 states in the North German Empire, and Aegis is listed as the only legal currency.

There are numerous cultural exchange groups. People in any state can freely move and work in the German region, and visas are not required.

As the founder of all this, Prime Minister Felix was naturally supported by all nationalists.

...

"Sir, you are here again."

A familiar voice sounded in Franz's ear.

Seeing Felix trembling while walking, Franz knew that there was no longer the spirited Austrian Prime Minister here, and there was only one old man with a dead candle.

"Ok!"

There were thousands of words in my heart when I came, now there is only one word left.

Felix laughed: "You shouldn't come. Every time you go out of the house, you will send away an old friend, as if I were about to see God soon."

It's a joke, and it's a fact. As emperor, Franz did not need to visit the minister, and if he did, he would basically see the last one.

Feeling embarrassed and touched his nose, Franz reluctantly said: "Let's save, God, his old man is busy, and I have no time to see you!"

After more than 30 years of getting along, they are both monarchs and friends.

Especially after Felix went through a life and death, the way they got along became more casual, and now they had more friends than monarchs.

Judging from Felix's performance, Franz understands that he is determined to withdraw from politics, and it is impossible to continue to retain.

Although the European monarchs are not as strict as the East, etiquette rules are still indispensable, and proper distance is the way to get along.

A mature politician cannot make this kind of mistake, and only by putting aside monarch and ministerial relations can he be so casual.

Felix nodded: "It's best, but you still don't want to come, I still want to see the German regional unification alive!"

Obsessed? Maybe, anyone who has done a job for more than 30 years in a row will suddenly have emotions.

As the final conclusion, who doesn't want a brilliant ending?

However, Felix knew very well that the German region could not be unified in the short term. He could not promote the unification of the German region regardless of all his obsessions.

Prior to this, Felix had always thought that he could accomplish the great cause of unification in the German region in his own hands, and subconsciously ignored his age.

The sudden illness made him awake. In the age of more than 40 years of average life expectancy, Felix was 85 years old, equivalent to the life of two ordinary people.

Years are not boring, and Feng Chan's body has forced him to bow his head.

Perhaps with his past achievements, Felix can still stay in the prime minister position even if he can't perform his duties, but his inherent pride does not allow him to do so.

In the past, Felix was the one who hated the "dominant person who doesn't do anything." In the post of Prime Minister, he has been fighting against eating short.

Over the years, at least four-digit officials have been driven home.

In order not to become the person he hates most, Felix did not give Franz the opportunity to save.

Looking at this proud and stubborn old man, Franz shrugged helplessly: "If you don't come, you won't come, making me like a disaster.

However, if you want to see the reunification of the German region, then you can't be idle. You can go to the German unification organization and guide the work of the little guys. "

This time Felix did not reject Franz's good intentions, how could it be easier to say that giving up power? If it weren't for his body, he wouldn't retreat so early.

Felix joked: "I will go! But it is mainly the government's business to unify the German region.

Your Majesty, you have to hurry up. Otherwise, God will be free someday, and if I will be called to go up, I can only watch in heaven. "

Franz rolled his eyes, betting that life and death didn't exist. Maybe when I was young, I did n’t think so much, but once I got older, I felt more and more valuable.

The pretender replied humorously: "Rest assured, the German region will definitely be unified before your 100th birthday."

Deep down, Franz was not calm. If fifteen years later, he would have reached the age of the ancient Greek, and it wouldn't be a few years.
