The economic model changes have a comprehensive impact. As the new European overlord, the Holy Roman Empire's every move has attracted much attention from the outside world.

Even though the Vienna government took very little steps, the implementation of the new economic policy still attracted the attention of European governments.

Pay attention to it, and what kind of economic policies to implement is the housework of the Holy Roman Empire, it is not the turn of everyone to intervene.

Apart from the verbal party who advocated the free economy, there was no movement. Compared with the changes in the economic policies of the Holy Roman Empire, the people were still more concerned about the French Civil War and the Japanese-Spanish War.

Especially the French Civil War, it was the favorite of the people who were on the gossip. The anti-French war had just ended, and hatred had not completely faded. Seeing the enemy unlucky, everyone was naturally happy to watch the fun.

Ordinary people can watch the fun, but governments will not do it. If the French civil war continues, the compensation will become "the moon in the water and the flowers in the mirror", which is invisible and intangible.

The first thing that could not hold back was the Belgian government. As the biggest victim of the European War, Belgium fell directly from a developed country to an extremely poor country.

Reconstruction after the war continued, almost all materials had to be purchased from abroad, and the national tax revenue was about zero. The only income of the Belgian government now was the war reparations paid by the French.

It has been the second half of the year now, and the settlement period is not far from it. If the French Civil War is not over yet, this year's war reparations will be ruined.

You should know that the Belgian government is now relying on debt to survive. All the funds for post-war reconstruction come from international loans. A penny can't be spent in half, and even the salaries of government officials cannot be paid normally.

Now I am counting on the French to pay the compensation to public officials so that the people below will not go on strike.

Theoretically, the revolutionaries are now besieged in Paris, and the aristocratic groups have gained the upper hand in the military and should have won quickly.

Unfortunately, there are many conflicts within the French aristocratic group. Although the Vienna government reconciled the conflicts between the three royalists, it only suppressed the open conflicts, and secretly dragged them down from time to time.

In contrast, the situation in the new Paris government is much better. Whether voluntarily or voluntarily, everyone got on the pirate ship, his hands were covered with blood, and he could only fight to the end.

Although the revolutionary party can go into exile overseas every time it fails in an uprising, it is easy to run away. In fact, only the senior leaders will succeed in running away every time, and ordinary revolutionaries have no capital to go into exile at all.

On one hand, there was a noble alliance with each other and a revolutionary party who was forced to go to a dead end, and the combat power of both sides was naturally not on the same level. If the anti-French alliance had not supported the royal party behind the scenes, the offensive and defensive momentum of both sides would have been changed long ago.

As for support, the Allies did not directly send troops to interfere in the civil war. On the one hand, it was because Carlos firmly opposed it, and on the other hand, there was a division within the anti-French alliance.

Although the performance of the aristocratic group was poor, they still had a strategic advantage. As long as they continued to siege, the royal party would sooner or later use the enemy to death.

Except for a few poor people who need to wait for the rice to be put into the pot, most countries in the anti-French alliance are happy to see the French killing each other.

Although the Continental War hit France hard, it still did not change the fact that France was a big country. With the lessons of history, no one dared to take France lightly.

Now the French kill each other and consume the vitality of the country, which is exactly what everyone wants to see. In a sense, civil war is the most cruel. No matter who wins or loses, it consumes its own national strength.

When you open the history book, you will know that the greatest harm caused by civil war has never been on the battlefield, and the most people die outside the battlefield.

Although there is no specific casualty statistics, a rough figure can still be drawn based on changes in French grain imports.

According to data released by the European Food Export Association, the total amount of food imports has dropped by 27.4% since the outbreak of the French Civil War.

The main reason for the decline in the total amount of grain imports is that the French people's pockets were hollowed out and their purchasing power was lost; secondly, after Paris was besieged, the outside world could not be imported.

There is nothing to see from the proportions alone. If converted into specific numbers, France has added millions of people to solve the problem of eating.

Of course, real data may differ. After all, countless refugees die of illness and starvation every day, and the number of people decreases, and naturally there will be fewer food shortages.

Against this background, Belgium proposed armed intervention, so it is naturally difficult to get everyone's support.

...

In the Vienna Palace, Emperor Franz, who is still in a state of conscience, is currently worried about solving the French refugee problem.

The assistance of the Continental Union was only established on the premise of the successful restoration of the Bourbon dynasty. Before the dust settled, everyone would not risk losing all their money to help the French.

The Vienna government took action to help the French? This is even more impossible. Hate is not only circulating among the French, but also exists in the minds of the vast majority of Shenluo people.

Anyone who supports the French at this time will be unable to get along with the vast majority of the people of Shenluo, especially the people in Luxembourg and Rhineland have the most anti-French sentiment.

In order to take care of his family's emotions, Franz could not take the blame for the world and provide substantial help to the French.

Of course, this is the official explanation to the Bourbon dynasty. As for whether the French believe it or not, they don’t know. Anyway, Franz is indeed worried about the French refugees.

Since the outbreak of the French Civil War, more and more French refugees have crossed the border and entered Shinra. In order to survive, refugees obviously do not care about national hatred and family grudges.

The repatriation has no effect at all. Even if I send it back and cannot find enough food, these people will come back in a few days.

It doesn't matter if you are arrested and imprisoned. At least Shinra's prison will also manage food, which is much better than being hungry. Anyway, refugees surrender when they encounter defenders. As long as they are willing to manage food, they can do whatever they want.

European people are all focused on the French Civil War, and there are naturally many media that pay attention to refugee issues. For the sake of international reputation, many extraordinary means cannot be used.

Especially the children who followed him, regardless of whether their parents were around or not, they regarded themselves as orphans and refused to leave.

Adults can be repatriated or arrested, but they are powerless to face this group of orphan guards. In the end, they can only raise them first, making the front-line military camp almost become nurseries.

How to deal with these refugees has become the biggest problem facing the Vienna government.

"What, Leopold II is coming to Vienna?"

Belgium is in a state of chaos and is just when he, the king, needs to stabilize the people's hearts. Leopold II's visit to Vienna at this time would definitely not be just a visit to relatives.

"Yes, your majesty!"

Foreign Minister Wesenberg replied: "The Belgian Foreign Ministry has just sent a telegram, and it is said that Leopold II has set out from the country. It is expected that he will enter the empire tonight. Let us arrange a special train."

Leopold II used practical actions to explain what decisive behavior is. Regardless of whether the Vienna government was happy to receive it, he came directly.

"Let the railway company arrange special trains, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will do the reception work according to normal standards. This time the royal family will send Masimirino as representative."

(Alias: Maximilian)

No matter what purpose it is, the visitor is a guest, and diplomatic etiquette is indispensable. It is idle and idle, so Franz decided to find something for the unlucky brother.

Anyway, they were all relatives, so there was nothing wrong with Masimirino to receive his brother-in-law.

Frankly speaking, the Franz brothers have a good relationship. As long as Massimilano does not come to ask for advice with the governing plan, everyone will be good brothers.

Unfortunately, the fanaticism of idealists is not comparable to that of ordinary people. Despite so many years, Masimirino has not given up on the emperor's obligations.

Of course, after so many years of growth, Masimirino is still much more mature than when he was young. This can be seen from his carefully prepared Mexican development strategy.

If I had been playing like this thirty years ago, coupled with the support of the Vienna government, Masimirino had probably already firmly held the throne of Mexico, at least not a former president could overthrow it.

Unfortunately, there is nothing but there is no regret. The times are developing and the international situation is changing. Mexico is now much more complicated than it was thirty years ago. Even if it is restored successfully, it will be difficult to settle down.

Franz has never been interested in buying and selling with high risks and low returns. If he really had the ability to wading into the muddy waters of Mexico, it would be better to pull the British from the position of the ocean overlord as soon as possible.

Whether it is Australia, New Zealand, Canada, or British Africa, which one is not as attractive as Mexico?

It is not realistic to swallow directly. It is still easy to establish an independent state, at least it is easier than to deal with Mexico. At least these regions do not have as many people as Mexico, and there is no such complex racial conflicts.

After the reception work was arranged, the episode ended. As for the real purpose of Leopold II's visit, Franz was not so curious yet.
