After the Paris Conference was over, Franz bid farewell to Nicholas I and left. A life of luxury is always easy to make people sink. Franz does not want to test his willpower.

Looking at a leaf, you will know autumn. Judging from the corrupt life of the top leaders of the Tsarist government, Franz knew that the Russian Empire was already sick.

Many people are addicted to the glory of the past and cannot extricate themselves. Even the bad situation of the Near East War was unable to wake them up.

"There is no problem for psoriasis."

Since the Tsarist government believes so, Franz naturally has no obligation to remind them. An ally who is addicted to the glory of the past is a good ally.

On the way back, Franz had transformed into a literary youth and embarked on the road of literary creation. The "Emperor's Psalms" and "Emperor's Essays" that had a profound impact in the future began to create this time.

Franz is still very moral in this regard, at least he didn't ask anyone to give a pen. So the output is naturally not high. A total of two limericks were born from St. Petersburg to Vienna. I was really embarrassed to take them out and meet people.

...

The country is unfortunate, and the poet is lucky.

Influenced by the Paris Conference forcibly splitting Germany, the literary creation in Germany during this period showed a situation of blooming flowers.

A large number of literati and poets made their mark during this period, such as: Arthur Schopenhauer, Bell Paul Hezefreilly, Gratt, Helwig, Welt, Fontana, F. Griller, Patzefranz, Griller, Adalbet Stevet...

It can be said that in just a few months in the second half of 1853, literary works emerged in the German region, exceeding the sum of the past five years.

Criticalism became the mainstream of literary creation during this period, and the new German Federal Empire was so bloody. Of course, the Prussian government could not escape the writings of literati, and even the Austrian government was not spared.

Facts have proved that show is very useful. Compared with the previous two companies, the Austrian government has received much less criticism. After all, it is a place of hope for German unification, so everyone is still showing mercy.

The new German Federal Empire was a tragedy. No one admitted that it was an empire. The main reason for naming it was that there were kingdoms in the lower countries.

If the central government cannot be on par with the local government, it is artificially upgraded to the empire by the Paris Conference. Obviously, this "needing empire" is unpopular.

...

Bremen

A middle-aged son said angrily: "Colbeth, look at the newspaper. The world's largest comedy empire is about to be born, and we are immediately a member of this comedy empire.

God, why don’t I know when we agreed to join this empire? This is simply too bad!

I can't imagine that in the future, someone asked me which country I was from, and then I told him: I am from the comedy empire, and the consequences are terrible!"

The birth of the German Federal Empire was originally a farce, and was ridiculed by Welt as a "comedy empire", and everyone called it that.

Can a "big empire" with a population of less than 10 million and a territory of no more than 100,000 square kilometers be a comedy?

Although the comedy empire is comedy, its overall national strength is not weak. It is only under the major European powers, and its economic strength is comparable to that of the Prussian Kingdom.

But this is not enough to make him a real empire. If it becomes the Kingdom of the Federal Republic of Germany, no one will raise any objections.

The bearded middle-aged man took the newspaper and glanced at it, then said calmly: "Fetra, just such a little thing is worthy of your fuss?

Paris Conference, what European countries have decided unanimously, do you still expect the government to dare to refuse?

What are you afraid of when you joke? Even if the German region is divided into three parts, we still have two empires and one kingdom. This is something that no country in the world can compare to!”

It can be seen that Colbes' expression had betrayed his heart. He was not as relaxed as he said, but he deliberately suppressed his anger and prevented him from bursting out.

In terms of comprehensive national strength, the unified German region is the world's number one, and even the British cannot compare.

Obviously this is impossible. No European countries are fools. Who can tolerate a giant in China and Europe?

After the results of the Paris Conference came out, the nationalists in the German region became silent, and the blows brought to them by reality were unimaginable.

Although everyone knows that European countries oppose German regional unification, the pressure from so many countries to unite and exert pressure from them is beyond their estimates.

There is no greater sorrow than death in the heart. Many people are desperate and become indifferent to politics. Colebeth is one of them.

However, this indifference is just an appearance. When he learned that the German Federal Empire was really established, he still couldn't help but laugh at it.

Fitra glared at Colebeth fiercely, then sneered, "Enough, you coward. As long as the Germans are not dead yet, the German region will be unified one day."

Both of them are already in the middle school age. After being forced to split in the German region, they did not run to the streets to march and demonstrate like young students.

As the newspaper said, even if all the people in the German region came out to march and demonstrate together, the enemy would not be able to see it and could only stay in the nest.

Oh, this may be what capitalists said, after all, it has affected their business.

Since the joint intervention of various countries in the process of German unification, the business community has been wailing. The South Germany region is not bad, Austria has a large market, and there are two markets, Italy and Russia.

The capitalists in the north felt the malice deeply. After losing the South German market, they would face competition from British goods in the future, which was simply forcing them to the dead end.

The Prussian business community also has this feeling. Since Austria accelerated the industrialization process, a large piece of their market has been stolen, and everyone has not had a good life.

Now it is even more ruthless. The market in the north will be affected by British goods, while the market in the south will have trade barriers.

Influenced by the market, after the reform of the Prussian Kingdom in 1848, the economy of the Prussian Kingdom has not improved significantly until now, but has shown signs of continued deterioration.

This is not because capitalists fail to work hard, but because reality forces it out. While the Prussian Kingdom was reforming in history, it also compressed military expenditures, suppressed military expenditures within 25, and invested this capital in national construction.

Now, affected by the international situation, we must be on guard against Russia and Austria. Prussia's military expenditure has not decreased but increased. In this context, it would be thankful that the government does not impose excessive taxes on domestic construction.

Faced with the increasingly severe economic situation, Frederick William IV was in trouble. Unfortunately, he was not the source of economic development. If it were to develop arms, he might have a greater say.

Looking at the whole military cabinet, it is difficult to develop the economy. "Reform" once again appeared in the mind of Frederick William IV.

...

Vienna

Franz, who had just returned to China, has to face three difficulties.

One is the issue of resettlement of the Bavarian royal family;

The issue of the names of the two countries;

Third, the governance issues of new territory.

Since he returned to the Vienna Palace, his mother, Empress Dowager Sophie, has been wandering in front of him and has raised the issue of marriage from time to time.

Although I didn't talk about the Bavarian royal family directly, the meaning was already very obvious. No matter what, I have to give an explanation?

What do they say about house arrest like this? Where can the Empress Dowager put her face?

Even the two little lolittle came to pester him from time to time, as if we would cry for you if you didn't give me an explanation.

Well, this matter was unethical by Franz. He agreed to change their throne and has been delayed until now, and this problem has not been implemented.

...

In order to get rid of the days of being harassed, Franz said helplessly at the State Council meeting: "Everyone, you can put other issues first, and find a good place for the Bavarian royal family first?"

Prime Minister Felix thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, there is also a Pulfac province in the Kingdom of Bavaria, which was also abandoned to the German Federation this time. It would be better to restore the status of the Principality of Pulfac and let the Bavarian royal family succeed to the Grand Duke."

Metternik opposed: "It's inappropriate. We have promised to guarantee the throne of the Bavarian royal family. Now we must appease the people. Repentance can easily lead to changes."

Prime Minister Felix shook his head and said, "I don't want to repent. The problem is that they will inherit the throne of Serbia, but the Bavarian royal family will not agree.

Maximilian II is now fearless and wants to continue to be a king in a wealthy land. How is that possible?”

Metternik asked back: "Serbia is a wilderness, and it is not even better than the Greek kingdom. For the investment of the Bavarian royal family in the Greek throne, it has not been recovered for so many years. How could they accept the Serbian throne?"

Serbia is not a good place now. Affected by the war, the local population has dropped to less than 700,000, and most of them are old, weak, sick and disabled. Young men between the ages of 16 and 40 were all drawn by the Ottomans.

It is completely economically dependent on agricultural production. It can be said that this nominal kingdom is actually not as good as a province in Bavaria.

If you become the king of Serbia, you will probably not be able to earn or not for a long time in the future.

Maximilian II's ambitions have been wiped out and he doesn't want to suffer any more.

...

Looking at the controversial people, Franz suggested: "What if we split the Kingdom of Venetian and restore the Kingdom of Lombardy and let Maximilian II succeed to the throne in the past?"

The Chancellor of the Finance Minister Carl opposed: "Your Majesty, the Lombardy region has a developed economy and accounts for nearly one-tenth of our fiscal revenue. If we make this place independent, we will suffer a lot."

Franz shook his head and said, "It's not that we want to make this place independent. First, we fool Maximilian II to succeed the throne and give an explanation to the Bavarian people.

Then the central government then obtained the local personnel appointment and removal power through constitutionalization, and just let him receive the annuity peacefully."

Establish an independent country? Dream! As an outsider, without Austria's support, why should Maximilian II rule the local area?

Relying on the Italians to support him as a king, Franz did not believe that Maximilian II had this personality charm and could still be so down and down now.

The Chancellor of the Finance Minister Carl thought for a while and said, "If the Lombardy region is not allowed to be independent and only the offering of Maximilian II will be no big problem."

The matter of 1.8 million gusts is indeed not worth mentioning. For the long-term stability of the Bavaria region, money must be spent this time.

Metternich said worriedly: "Your Majesty, if Maximilian II becomes the King of Lombardy, Britain, France and other countries may instigate local independence in the future."

Independence? Frankly speaking, Franz never cared about the independence of Italy. In terms of development potential, the local area cannot become the core of Austria.

There are more than 6 million Italians in the Austrian Empire, and the population proportion is already very high. Nationalism in the Italian region has awakened, and it is also a huge challenge to rule these people for a long time.

Now the Austrian government will not give up Lombardy Venetia. The main reason is the interests, so the government spends a lot of money to engage in assimilation in the local area.

If the cost of domination exceeds the profit, Franz would have made them independent long ago. After all, these areas are scarce in resources and local industrial products are gradually losing competitiveness.

Before the westward strategy was launched, the Austrian government made the worst plan at the time, at the cost of abandoning the Kingdom of Lombardy in exchange for everyone's recognition of Austria's annexation of the Southern German region.

Unexpectedly, Britain and France launched the Crimean Peninsula, making them unable to interfere in Austria, so these areas were protected.

Franz shook his head and said, "Even without this king, our enemies have not forgotten to plan local independence.

According to our plan, changing wheat into mulberry will not take long to rely entirely on Austria for local food.

As time goes by, the local textile industry will rise in the future. If they leave Austria, where will they go to find a market?"

If the Italian region is stable for a long time, the Austrian government has also conducted research. The answer is: food control and economic dependence.
