Chapter 354： Disappearing Prophets, Mindsets (2/2)

The reform of Alexander II only allowed 13% of the serfs to get enough land; 42% of the land obtained by the serfs could barely make ends meet after paying the ransom; the rest could not support themselves by relying solely on the land and had to go out to work .

This provided sufficient labor for the development of capitalism in Russia.

Historically, with the development of the capitalist economy, a part of the rural population flooded into the cities, and the problem of the originally tense land was gradually resolved.

In the late 19th century, the Russian Empire became stronger again because of the reform of Alexander II.

It is unfortunate now that Russia's capitalist economy has just started and is unable to absorb too many people.

The social dividends brought about by the reform are too late to play a role; but the social contradictions brought about by the reform have begun to play a role.

”Paying close attention to the trend of the situation in Russia, clarifying the forces invested by all parties and preparing for interference, we cannot allow Russia to make a big change.”

Franz made a decisive decision to let the Russians lose a bit, but let the Russian empire collapse!

Unless the Russian Empire can be dismembered and the threat resolved once and for all, it is better to retain the Tsarist government.

After all, Russia under the czar's government poses limited threats to Austria, and there are too many people in the country who are holding back. Even the most talented Alexander II cannot change this problem.

If it breaks the rules, it will be different. Franz can use the opportunity of civil unrest to clean up Hungary and integrate Austria. Who can guarantee that Russia will not have a powerful comeback?

At least Alexander II had the ability to reform within the scope of the rules, and he could not solve the problem thoroughly.

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

As long as the military is settled, many problems are not actually problems. As long as the table is turned over, it is very likely that Alexander II will regain the mountains.

If it is another country, it is also possible for countries to form a coalition to intervene in a wave. When encountering Russian Franz, he said that he was afraid of cold.

After the rebirth of Russia emerged, Austria had nothing to do, focus on acting as a European gatekeeper, and be responsible for watching the bears.

Felix the opposite said: ”Your Majesty, we should not act rashly now. Although the reforms of Alexander II hurt many people's interests, they did not cross the conservative bottom line.

As long as these people do not move, Russia will not be in trouble. The Russian army in Poland collapsed, mainly because there were too many Polish soldiers inside.

In order to ensure the stability of the Polish region, the Tsarist government recently ordered the recruitment of troops from the Polish region, in an attempt to remove these people from the Polish region, but the plan began as soon as the uprising began.

The Russian army remained loyal to the Tsar, the Revolutionary Party had not yet affected the army, and a little rebellion could not move the foundation of the Tsar government.

As long as Britain and France don't send troops to intervene in person, it won't be long before the rebellion will be suppressed. ”

After listening to the Prime Minister's explanation, Franz was relieved. He is a mystery of the authorities, ignoring that Britain and France will not act in person.

After losing the Near East War, the British were much more cautious about European issues and kept themselves as far away as possible.

Not to mention the French, how could Napoleon III almost lost 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 aggressive they are blown in later generations. Now the Russians sneeze, and the Berlin government is frightened.

Austria's best option right now is to watch a play, 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, I'm too nervous, and now I'm not as calm as I am.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs told the Tsarist government that we support any action they take on the Polish issue, and the matter of volunteers is pushed to Britain and France.

Other things have nothing to do with us and know nothing. ”

Since it uses static braking, it can be foolish enough.

Britain and France can stand up and pull hatred because they are far enough away from the Russians without fear of reprisals from the Tsarist government.

It is best to fight the Russians, but you can also dislike the Russians if they cannot, and use the Polish independence movement to delay the reform process of the Tsarist government.

Is it really that simple? Today, the international situation has long been beyond recognition, and the advantages of Franz's prophet no longer exist.

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

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

Too much worry about the changes in the Russian Empire is actually the reason for Franz's lack of confidence. After all, the influence of previous life's ideas was so great that he ignored the change of his own strength.

Compared with any one of its competitors, Austria has advantages in one or more fields, so long as these advantages are exerted.

First of all, in terms of population quality, compulsory education was started first, and Austria is now enjoying this bonus.

Once the second industrial revolution begins, the first-mover advantage is doomed. By the time competitors reacted, Austria was already at the forefront.

It seems that Austria is not behind now, and following the footsteps of the British, certain industries can still run ahead.

On the contrary, the usury empire has begun to deviate. Insufficient local coal production capacity has already pushed up the cost of many industries in France, and capitalists increasingly like to make financial profits.

In the short term, competitors, Britain and France, have been locked up due to population constraints and local area.

Restrictions on local area and resources can also be made up by the colonies. Everyone in the colonial empire does not lack this resource, but there is no way out of insufficient population.

No, the French are already looking for a solution, which is to expand abroad. Napoleon III has just eaten the Kingdom of Sardinia, making up for the shortage of domestic labor.

There is really no way for British talents to go to the mainland if they are to be surrounded by the sea. Unfortunately, John Niu did not dare, and once he set foot on the European continent, he was immediately taught to be a man.

The Russian empire, a mid-term rival, is still undergoing reforms, and the industry has lagged behind for at least two decades, which will not make up for a while.

Even if it is open, it will take more than ten years to catch up. In this age of rapid technological change, opponents cannot wait for them to catch up.

As long as it is still under the rule of the Tsarist government, such open-ended development cannot occur, and it can guarantee the normal level of development speed, which is God's blessing.

Long-term rival American, after the torture of this civil war, is estimated to take a long time to develop for another 20-30 years. At least they have to wait for them to complete national reunification before they can compete for the world.

These advantages can only be regarded as superficial. The real advantage is that the competitors have not noticed their own weaknesses and have not taken corresponding measures to solve these problems.
