With intentional calculations and no intentions, the Russians quickly paid the price for their actions, and the Polish independence movement broke out more rapidly than in history.

Britain and France increased financial assistance to independent organizations. After the uprising broke out, the independent organizations pulled up an army as quickly as possible and began to sweep across the world.

As a melon-eating crowd, Franz was soon under protest from the Tsarist government.

Franz asked in disbelief: "Prime Minister, are you sure the contents of this protest letter are true?"

Franz was not shocked. During this Polish uprising, there were 400 volunteers in Austria. Most of these people were retired officers and soldiers from Austria.

Under the eyes of the Vienna government, Polish independence was able to raise such an armed force. If there was no problem, there would be ghosts.

It is one thing to secretly stumbling over the Russians. There are so many volunteers coming out on the surface, not telling the outside world that Austria supports the Polish independence movement.

The Russian-Austrian alliance has not explained it yet? It is morally impossible to get over the tsar's government!

Prime Minister Felix replied awkwardly: "Your Majesty, there are indeed many Poles in the Gasilia area supporting this uprising. There are not only four hundred people participating in this uprising, but the number we counted is eight hundred.

If nothing unexpected happens, this number is still increasing. We have made a mistake in the estimate in advance, and we did not expect so many people to participate in this uprising, so we did not take any measures in advance."

Franz rubbed his forehead, but he didn't know how to deal with it. After the outbreak of the Polish independence movement, Polish people from all over the world participated.

There are millions of Poles in Austria, and some volunteers are inevitable, at least this number is a little too large.

"No one will frame us, will it?" Franz asked uncertainly.

He very much suspected that this was a conspiracy between Britain and France, and the purpose was to provoke Russia-Austrian relations and disintegrate the Russian-Austrian alliance.

Prime Minister Felix replied: "Your Majesty, please rest assured. We have checked that these people have no problem and are indeed voluntarily participating in the uprising.

Many of the people here were originally residents of the Russian Polish region, but they immigrated to Gasilia because they could not stand the rule of the Russians.

Now they go back to participate in the uprising, which is mostly a force of hatred. We have taken action and this will not continue to happen later."

Faced with this result, Franz can only be attributed to the fact that the Russians are too destined to appear in exile and never forget to work hard to take revenge. What else can I do?

Of course, there must be someone in the Vienna government providing them with convenience, otherwise it would be impossible for so many people to enter Poland smoothly.

Franz thought for a while and said: "The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Russians will explain slowly and issue a diplomatic statement by the way. The Russian Polish issue is the internal affairs of the Russian Empire and countries should not interfere."

No matter what happened, we could only find a way to deal with the aftermath. It just so happened that Britain and France supported the independent organization of Poland internationally, European countries responded, and the Tsarist government still needed Austria's support.

Franz doesn't expect any benefit when this happens. First, show his attitude. As for whether the Russians believe it or not, they can only leave it to fate.

This is enough to separate the relationship between the two countries, and it is still a little short of the breakdown of the Russian-Austrian alliance. As long as the alliance is still there, the worst thing is that the relationship will be repaired slowly later.

Foreign Minister Wesenberg replied: "Your Majesty, the Russians will soon be out of their way. According to the news from our station in St. Petersburg, the Polish uprising army has exceeded 100,000.

The Polish Independence Organization had planned it. After the uprising was launched, with the internal and external cooperation, more than 100,000 Russian troops deployed in the Polish region were defeated by the Polish uprising army.

Many troops became prisoners without reacting at all. Many soldiers joined the Polish independence movement directly, as if the Russian Revolutionary Organization and the Poles had joined forces.

Judging from the information we have collected, the rebels are not entirely mobs, and their leadership should have received short-term military training.

From the outbreak of the Polish uprising to the present, at least 5,000 volunteers from all over the world participated, most of whom had received military training and became officers of the uprising army.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs suspected that someone provided military training to Polish independent organizations. These volunteers were probably trained in advance and quickly entered Poland after the uprising broke out and led the uprising."

Franz's face changed drastically. This is probably the truth. Even Austria, who is secretly tying up hundreds of volunteers, can only do more than anything else.

Is it difficult to help Polish independent organizations train personnel?

It was too easy for the big gangsters. They recruited a group of anti-Russian Poles, then conducted simple training, and put them in the colony to fight a few battles. Those who survived were qualified soldiers.

If there were Russian revolutionary organizations involved, things would be even more complicated, which means that the rebellion would not be limited to Poland, and revolutions could break out in vast areas of the Russian Empire.

The reformed Russian Empire is undoubtedly at a crossroads. It is now the most likely to happen. There are too many people in China who are dissatisfied with the reform of the Tsarist government.

The radicals think that the Tsarist government reforms are not thorough, while the conservatives think that the Tsarist government reforms have hurt their interests. Once these dissatisfied people are stimulated, who knows what will happen?

You should know that since the reform of Alexander II, there has been no peace in the Russian Empire. The peasants who had just gained freedom sighed at the huge amount of land to buy gold.

The Russians’ land redemption is not as harmonious as Austria. These redemption funds require interest payments, and it is not the same as Franz’s unified payment standards.

Austria's land redemption funds are basically based on the output income on the land in 5 to 10 years as the baseline, and are uniformly leveraged by the government and then handed over to the land owner.

Farmers can pay up to 40 years in installments without calculating benefits. The redemption money that needs to be paid every year is within everyone's ability to bear it.

Because of unified allocation, the expropriation standard is 20% of the actual land output per year. You can pay more or less, anyway, you can pay it back within the specified time limit.

Due to the rebellion, the government seized a lot of land. In fact, this kind of expropriation was still a big profit in the Vienna government, so it could naturally take out part of the money to calm down the insufficient redemption money in the year of disaster.

It was not possible to get to the Tsarist government. The landlords were still alive and well. Most of the land was from these nobles. Before the reform, there were less than twenty civilian manors in Russia, and the free farmers only owned a small amount of land.

In this context, it is definitely impossible to compress the land purchase price. It is even more impossible to obtain unified collection and distribution without paying interest.

If it weren't for the Great Revolution, Franz would not have the ability to force the nobles to accept such harsh conditions. In fact, Austria's land reform was not complete.

Many nobles who were not involved in the rebellion and were not affected by the rebellion still owned a large amount of land, and as long as they were unwilling to do so, the government could not force a redemption.

There was no social conflict. The main reason was that the Vienna government compressed the per capita land redemption area and ensured that everyone could redeem the land, but the place was uncertain.

Later, with the expansion on the Balkans, overseas colonies were opened up, which made the originally tense land supply loose, and the contradictions were resolved proudly after more land.

The immigration propaganda slogan of the Ministry of Coloniality is: Go to the colony to open up land, and you will own as much land as you open.

This is impossible for the Tsarist government to do. Although there are many wastelands available for reclaiming in China, these wastelands are also owned.

The land area obtained by farmers through redemption is actually lower than that of Austria on average. Of course, this is the result of calculating the Balkans, and the Romanian and Serbia have contributed a lot of arable land.

Alexander II's reforms only allowed 13% of serfs to obtain enough land; 42% of the land obtained by serfs could only barely make a living after paying the redemption money; the remaining land alone could not support themselves, and they had to go out to work.

This provided sufficient labor for the development of capitalism in Russia. With the development of the capitalist economy, a part of the rural population poured into the city, and the originally tense land problem was gradually solved.

In the late 19th century, the Russian Empire became stronger again due to the reforms of Alexander II.

Unfortunately, Russia's capitalist economy is just starting out and is unable to absorb too much population.

The social dividends brought by reform are not yet available to play a role; but the social contradictions brought by reform have begun to play a role.

"We cannot let Russia have major changes when it comes to the situation in Russia, understand the efforts invested by all parties, and be prepared for interference."

Franz made a quick decision and let the Russians suffer some losses. It would be better to destroy the Russian Empire!

Unless it is possible to dismember the Russian Empire and resolve the threat once and for all, it is better to retain the Tsarist government.

After all, Russia, ruled by the Tsarist government, had limited threat to Austria, and too many people in the country were dragging their backs. Even the talented and magnificent Alexander II changed this problem.

If the rules are broken, it will be different. Franz can take advantage of the opportunity of civil strife to clean up Hungary and integrate Austria. Who can ensure that there will be no powerful figure in Russia to turn the tables?

At least Alexander II has the ability to reform within the scope of the rules, and he cannot completely solve the problem.

But once the order is broken, the situation will be different. The greatest legacy Nicholas I left him was the army loyal to the Tsar.

As long as the army is settled, many problems are actually not problems. As long as the table is overturned, the possibility of Alexander II regaining the mountains and rivers is very high.

If it is another country, it can also form a coalition force to intervene. When he meets Russia, Franz said that he is afraid of the cold.

When Russia reborn in the ashes appears, Austria has no need to do anything, and is focused on acting as the gatekeeper of Europe and is responsible for keeping the bear.

Prime Minister Felix opposed: "Your Majesty, we should not act rashly now. Although Alexander II's reforms have damaged the interests of many people, they have not crossed the bottom line of the conservatives.

As long as these people remain unmoved, Russia will not be in chaos. The collapse of the Russian army in Poland was mainly due to the fact that there were too many Polish soldiers inside.

In order to ensure the stability of the Polish region, the Tsarist government ordered recruitment from the Polish region not long ago, trying to transfer these people from the Polish region, but the plan had just begun to revolt.

The Russian army was still loyal to the Tsar, and the revolutionary party could not affect the army, and some rebellions could not move the foundation of the Tsarist government.

As long as Britain and France do not send troops to intervene in person, the rebellion will be suppressed soon."

After hearing the Prime Minister's explanation, Franz breathed a sigh of relief. He was the mystery of the authorities and ignored that Britain and France would not take action in person.

After losing the Near East War, the British were much more cautious on European issues and kept themselves out of the matter as much as possible.

Not to mention the French, how could it be possible for Napoleon III to almost lose the throne and let him go to the muddy waters of the Russians?

The Kingdom of Prussia was directly ignored. Don’t look at how awesome they were bragged about in later generations. Now the Russians sneeze, and the Berlin government is scared.

Now the best choice for Austria is to watch the show, rather than prepare to interfere. Any move by the Vienna government may send a wrong signal to the outside world, resulting in an uncontrollable situation.

Franz thought for a while and said, "The Prime Minister is right, but I am too nervous. Now I am not as good as quiet as I move.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs told the Tsarist government that we supported any action they had on the Polish issue, and that the volunteers were pushed to Britain and France.

Other things have nothing to do with us, and we don’t know anything.”

Since you are using static to control your movements, then just pretend to be stupid and stupid.

Britain and France can stand up and raise hatred because they are far enough away from the Russians to be afraid of revenge from the Tsarist government.

It is best to be able to hit the Russians, but if you can't hit the Russians, you can also disgust the Russians and use the Polish independence movement to delay the reform process of the Tsarist government.

Is it really that simple? To this day, the international situation has long been beyond recognition, and Franz's foresight advantage no longer exists.

After sorting out his thoughts, Franz quickly figured it out.

Austria is no longer the Austria in history. It has accumulated enough advantages in the early stage. Even without the advantages of foresight, it is still in a favorable position in international competition.

Too worried about the changes in the Russian Empire was actually because Franz was not confident enough. After all, his ideas in his previous life were too influential, so that he ignored the changes in his own strength.

Compared with any competitor, Austria has advantages in one or more fields, and it is enough to exert these advantages.

The first thing is to start compulsory education in terms of population quality. Now Austria is enjoying this dividend.

Once the Second Industrial Revolution begins, the first move is destined to be the first mover. By the time the competitors react, Austria has already reached the forefront.
