Chapter 113, Operation Without Bottom Line
After figuring out the whole story, Franz watched the fun with peace of mind. Deep down, he had already been silent for the Bulgarian Revolutionary Party, and at a wrong time, he launched a wrong uprising.
If it were a different time, the Tsarist government might have compromised. For example, during the Prado-Russian War a few years ago, when the U.S. dollar war was taken a chance to launch an uprising and then follow the winners, they would have been independent and successful.
Unfortunately, the Russian Empire was too powerful at that time, and the people in the country were stable, so no one thought that they could overthrow the rule of the Russians.
It was only after Poland's success in independence that it stimulated the development of Russia's national independence movement. Bulgaria's nationalism has only spread in recent years, and the agricultural crisis has magnified the contradictions.
The foundation of the revolution is available, but now is still not a good time. It is not a wise choice to fight the Russian Empire alone in a corner.
Even if the Near East War breaks out, it will be better than the current time point, and at least one more ally.
The British who secretly supported the Bulgarian Revolution did not emerge at all. The capital of France and Austria was only for the sake of interests and ignited the war. Their purpose was achieved.
Regardless of whether this excuse will be enough, there are still many fools who believe it. Seeing a group of speculators thinking that the price of grain will rise and joining the ranks of high grain prices, Franz silently said: "Your sins are not to survive!"
If you cannot find the takeover in time to withdraw, there will be one speculator who will participate in the competition, and no one will want to escape.
After finally getting them trapped, how could the consortium let them go? After stepping onto the pirate ship, these people could only bite the bullet and try hard to advocate that "food prices should rise and expand the influence of the Balkans."
There have been good news recently, such as: Argentina suffered from floods and India suffered from locust plague...
There are pictures and truth, but no one tells them that even if these countries have no food harvest, it is related to European bird matters.
Argentina was not a major grain exporter in this era. It did not export grain to Europe at all, nor did it import grain from Europe. Even if some areas were affected by disasters and rely on bumper harvests in other regions, there would be no shortage of grain.
Not to mention India, food shortage is useful, can they afford it? There is so much local population, it doesn’t matter if there are a few people starving to death. Don’t expect the British to provide relief.
In short, any place in the world who suffers disaster will appear in European newspapers. This will be really "a scholar who knows the world without going out." Everyone suddenly discovered that the world is so big and there are so many countries.
It is true that there is a "food shortage" in the world as a whole, but this does not affect the outbreak of the agricultural crisis. People who lack food are poor and cannot afford to buy food at all. No matter how overeat grain production in the international market, it has nothing to do with them.
Nowadays, chicken soup jokes are not popular, and there is not even a living environment. If you think this is a big market that no one pays attention to, you can dive into the development and keep the big business as it is, you can lose bankruptcy.
In the early stage of investment, it did not make money to cultivate the market. Some of them persisted for several years, and some lasted for more than ten years. Franz has never heard of waiting for hundreds of years.
Capitalists are not stupid, if they could do it, they would have done it long ago. For example, Africans do not wear shoes and go to sell shoes with chicken soup jokes.
No one has studied whether the locals can afford it. Even if they can afford it this day, it is useless. The colonists have become accustomed to using it to grab it.
Although killing sheep does not have the benefits of sheeping for a long time, if you don’t kill sheep, you will starve to death now. What else should you consider in the future?
The 19th century was the darkest and most cruel era. Everyone was struggling to survive. Only when they survived would they have a future. If they had a long vision, they would become martyrs.
After a series of bombings, many people came to the conclusion that the world was short of food, and a trend of food buying broke out in many regions.
These have little impact on Austria. Although some people are worried about rising food prices, no one thinks that Austria will be short of food. If the world's number one agricultural product exporter is short of food, how can anything else survive?
After stabilizing the prices in the domestic grain retail market, Franz pretended not to see the changes in the stock market and futures market.
If you want to speculate, you have to bear the corresponding consequences. These areas are essentially a gamble. They all turn into wool, and will they still run away?
In order to reduce the number of people affected, at the end of 1873, the Austrian Securities Regulatory Commission raised the threshold for capital entry and kept small transactions with capital below 500 ASUS.
The power of capital is huge. The grain market, which had originally overcapacity, forced them to create a situation of out of stock through capital operations.
This is a good thing for grain exporters, at least some people will take over this year's grain market. It doesn't matter when the international grain market will collapse.
To some extent, the Tsarist government should thank the mastermind behind the scenes for allowing them to survive this year's fiscal crisis. Although the price of grain exports is not high, it is sold out at least.
Let’s talk about the future. Besides, isn’t Austria trying to reduce production? The market may return to normal in a few years.
Moreover, war is also a big food consumer. If you catch the Ottoman Empire and beat it up, you will probably not have to worry about overcapacity in the next two or three years.
Without any hesitation, the Russian army, which was originally intended to be used for the Ottoman battlefield, is now being put into the Bulgarian battlefield by the Tsarist government.
After more than two months of persistence, the vigorous Bulgarian uprising fell into a trough. The rebels were forced to give up the city and switch to the mountainous areas to continue fighting.
The Russian-Austrian alliance is not over yet. Although he wants to expel the Russians from the Balkans, Franz does not support the Bulgarian uprising army.
Of course, it doesn’t matter whether there is any arms smuggling. Anyway, the smuggling arms dealers have no human rights. If the Russians have the ability to seize it, they will handle it themselves. The Vienna government will not interfere.
Vienna Palace, Foreign Minister Wesenberg: "Your Majesty, the Special Envoy of the Sudanese Government is here. They want to resolve the dispute between the two countries through negotiations."
If you can't win, just talk. This is a habit of the European continent. Especially for big countries, it is unrealistic to destroy countries. Otherwise, Napoleon III's annexation of Italy would not cause a stir.
Is there any need to talk to the Habsburg dynasty and the Ottoman Empire? Judging from family hatred, there is naturally no need for negotiation, and both sides want to kill each other.
In terms of interests, we naturally have to talk about it first before we know. Franz is not a profit-oriented person, so he decided decisively: "Don't talk!"
Strategically, it is necessary to create an enemy for Austria. Who else is suitable except the Ottoman Empire? The European continent is a mess, and once it rushes in, it will be trapped.
How great is it to beat the Ottoman Empire. Attacking a notorious enemy can stand on the commanding heights of public opinion without worrying about being pushed back.
Even if the Ottoman Empire was cheating and completed its modernization reform, it was still completely abused by Austria. This was determined by comprehensive national strength and there was no possibility of making up for it.
If Britain and France were willing to transfusion blood to the Ottoman Empire, Franz welcomed it, which means that the two sides could be entangled for a longer time.
It is best to make European countries think that Austria is trapped in the quagmire of war and cannot extricate itself, so that everyone can fight with confidence. So as not to keep their eyes on Vienna, Franz dare not play small moves.
"Send someone to urge the Russians to speed up the preparations. This war must be launched in March. If it really doesn't work, just let them send soldiers, and we can provide everything else."
Franz will not discount the strategic materials promised to provide. He brought the Russians to the main purpose of sharing international pressure and creating opportunities for the Prussians.
Russia and Austria are not restrained, how could the Berlin government have the courage to attack Poland? Of course, William I will definitely not be as extreme as Napoleon III. Franz speculates that he will probably inherit the Polish throne first.
There are precedents of communist rulers in Europe, including Sweden and Norway, which are communist rulers. This kind of thing is within the scope of acceptance. First, control the Polish government and slowly implement the annexation plan, the difficulty will be greatly reduced.
Franz used the same plan to embezzle the Kingdom of Bavaria. Now Bavaria has only one name left, which is essentially an Austrian province.
Not only the Kingdom of Bavaria, but also several other states did not escape. Whether they admit it or not, they are only equivalent to a highly autonomous region. All interests in all aspects are connected to Austria, and the Austrian government is the Central Government of Shinra.
This was also achieved by the Prussian Kingdom. However, due to religion and legal system, the Berlin government lacked control over the Southern Germany region, and Bavaria also formed its own system.
If conditions permit, Napoleon III would not have directly annexed Italy, but adopted a system of communism. Unfortunately, this game was not played in the Italian region.
Who knows what the Italian emperor is? How can the throne created due to the needs of reality be recognized?
Without legal basis, the system of the Communist Party will definitely not be able to change. It is not difficult to understand that Napoleon III has bitten the bullet and it is not difficult to understand.
Foreign Minister Wesenberg: "The Russians have little problem. Even if they are not prepared, they can still let the Tsarist government declare war first.
But it still takes a reason to provoke a war. The Russians proposed to use the Ottoman Empire to support the Bulgarian rebellion, or to expel pagans and raise the banner of jihad."
As soon as the "holy war" came out, Franz was in a bad mood. It was obviously just a secular war, so why should he raise the banner of religion?
Although it can boost morale, it is not easy to control the rhythm! If the morale of the front-line army is overwhelming and they will kill the Ottoman Empire in one breath, how can you stop?
We can't expect the French to reorganize the "Drage Saint Alliance" with the Ottoman Empire to save the declining Ottomans.
"No, religious wars must not be fought. The Russians use whatever excuses they use, so we will use revenge as a reason."
Thinking back to the time when the Ottomans besieged Vienna and almost took over the Habsburgs' lair. How could such blood feud be avoided?
No, it seems that in the battle in 1683, Dabobo acted as the savior, and it seems that it is not very good to promote this.
There is still a territorial dispute between Oppo and his country that has not been resolved. The grudges and hatreds between the two sides are enough to make ten TV series. It seems too early to talk about Oppo's friendship.
Thinking of this, Franz won’t say anything later, but let the government supplement it by itself. Anyway, the hatred between the two countries lasted for hundreds of years, so there was an excuse to read the history books.
Especially the newly compiled history books by the Vienna government, which are really deep in hatred. For example, the Balkans are all descendants of the Ottoman Empire who attacked Austria and then slowly reproduced.
The local indigenous people had long been killed by the brutal Ottomans. The remaining small part either surrendered to the Ottomans as traitors, or hid in the deep mountains and forests, such as Montenegro.
Regardless of whether others believe it or not, the Vienna government believes it. There is absolutely evidence, and real people and facts are well documented. However, the proportion is a little small. If you check the bloodline, the proportion is always one percent.
No, after so many years of immigration, this proportion has increased significantly, and many places have exceeded 50%, which has greatly increased its credibility.
When the genes can be checked in the future, it can be proved that these contents are true. The ancestors of the local people did come from the German region.
In this regard, the history books of the Principality of Montenegro can also be used as evidence. Franz used a hundred aid materials to get the Montenegro government to cooperate.
There will be more evidence in the future. In short, Austria and the Ottoman Empire have a deep blood feud. If you don’t avenge the Ottoman Empire, you will be sorry for your ancestors.
