Chapter seventy-one, the French attack
Considering that this time the French army was transferred from the country, its combat effectiveness was stronger than that of the colonial troops, in fact, we…”
Although the truth is good, it is not easy for everyone, including Fa Jinhan himself.
This and Wan'er stock encountered three daily limits in a row. They were about to sell and cash out, but they were not greedy for a while and then they had a plunge. They took action after taking pain.
The gains you get are reduced, and no matter how much you comfort yourself: anyway, you will still feel uncomfortable.
It didn't last long, and the older Huthir recovered: "Okay, things have come to this point, and it's useless to say more.
All they encountered this time was the French vanguard troops. Their troops were limited and they seemed to have won the victory, so they could not stop the rebel soldiers from roaming around.
I believe everyone knows how destructive the defeated soldiers is. Among the tens of thousands of defeated soldiers, there are always some who have a blood hatred with the French. They cannot defeat the French from the front, so they can't destroy them behind the scenes?
We were originally considering leaving some soldiers to fight guerrilla here, but everyone's fighting spirit is not good enough to be assigned. Now the French have completed the plan for us.
Next…”
This is not pure self-comfort. Since failure is unavoidable, we can only find a favorable side to ourselves from failure.
...
In the temporary palace in Paris, since the news of Egypt's victory was heard, the gloom on Napoleon IV's face was wiped out.
Recently, he has been under too much pressure. A group of international food exporters are causing trouble for him every day; domestic people are not worried and come to march and demonstrate every few days.
Although the news of Egypt's great victory on the battlefield cannot solve international troubles, it is still enough to appease the domestic people.
Foreign Minister Terence Bulkin: "Your Majesty, affected by the British-Russian relations have deteriorated sharply.
Not long ago, the Tsarist government threatened to withdraw from the free trade system and tried to force the British government to make concessions. The opportunity we have been waiting for has come."
It is difficult to live an alternative life. As the only country on the European continent that is free from the free trade system, France has taken on too many strange gazes.
Although the Paris government looked disdainful on the surface, only they themselves knew the sadness and pain.
Tariff barriers also have to pay a price. While restricting other people's products from entering the camera, they will naturally be restricted by others.
Affected by this, France's total import and export trade volume dropped sharply by about three-quarters.
It is impossible to return to the free trade system, and at least until French industry gains an advantage, the Paris government will not consider this issue.
Then the only way is to destroy this system, bring everyone back to the era of tariff barriers, and then gain a relatively fair opportunity to compete.
Napoleon IV wondered: "The British were still in the parliamentary discussion and did not make a resolution. Do the Russians be so anxious?"
Foreign Minister Terence Bulkin explained: "Your Majesty, the Russian Empire is the world's number one exporter of raw grain.
Our farm plan has already caused them heavy losses. If they lose the British market again, Russian agriculture will be severely damaged.
Moreover, after losing the financial resources of food exports, Russia's finances will soon fall into a dilemma of not being able to make ends meet. It is normal for the Tsarist government to sit still."
After pondering for a while, Napoleon IV slowly said: "What do you mean is to take the opportunity to win over the Russians and disintegrate the free trade system?"
Terence Bulkin shook his head: "It's not just the free trade system, but also the Russian-Austrian alliance.
As long as the British plan becomes a reality, the Austrian-led food export alliance will collapse soon and major food exporters will fall into cruel competition.
No matter how good the relationship between Russia and Austria is, Austria itself is a grain exporter. Against the backdrop of shrinking international markets, they cannot consume the huge production capacity of the Russians.
At this time, we extended an olive branch, and the Tsarist government had no way to refuse.
Anyway, our farm plan cannot be completed in one day, and at worst, the number of subsequent projects will be reduced.
We can reach an agreement with the Russians to import part of the grain from the Russian Empire every year in exchange for domestic industrial and commercial products to enter the Russian market.
If there is a problem with the common interest chain, no matter how good the relationship between the Russian and Austrian alliance is, there will be problems.
As long as we break away from the Russian-Austrian relations, the strategic crisis we face will no longer exist."
The Paris government’s farm plan actually sounds nice. If it is implemented, it will require a lot of manpower and financial resources.
With the financial resources of the Paris government, it is impossible to start this big plan in the short term, which is doomed to shrink the big farm plan.
Using plans that would have shrunk, to alienate Russia-Austrian relations, or even break up this alliance, and to get rid of France's strategic crisis of isolation on the European continent, is undoubtedly a big profit.
Napoleon IV nodded. He really couldn't find a reason to refuse such a thing that was worth more than one kill.
"However, how to convince the British? The prerequisite for all this is that the British government is willing to cooperate and has put enough pressure on the Russians."
The key to the problem is that betraying the Russian-Austrian alliance will also cost a heavy price. If it were not for the unsuccessful situation, the Russians would definitely not have done this.
Foreign Minister Terence Bulkin replied calmly: "Your Majesty, the Russian-Austrian alliance is not only threatening us, but the British are also not feeling well.
Don’t you think Russia and Austria are too close to India?
In the eyes of the British: India is the best colony, and any country will be moved.
In order to break up the Russian-Austrian alliance, the British government has done a lot of things. Now the opportunity is coming, and I don’t believe the British government will refuse.”
