Over time, the rising anti-French movement in the German region gradually spread to the Austrian region.
Although the voice calling for the suspension of the French-Austrian trade was not high, the call for the people to boycott the French goods was endless.
Affected by this, the total import and export volume of France and Austria in the first quarter of 1889 decreased sharply by 36.8% compared with the same period of last year, and almost no French-labeled products were on the market.
Not only was Austria affected, but under the impetus of interests, the anti-French wave gradually spread to the entire European world.
Even Britain, which has just formed an alliance with France, has also erupted in a boycott of French goods. Capital only cares about interests, regardless of international relations.
The peers are the enemies, and the French goods are resisted, so you can sell more of your own. Why should we miss the opportunity to make money?
The French government in the center of the storm panicked as the European world supported the two countries with solid actions.
Isn't it just holding the bully and bullying the weak? The powers are doing this. Why doesn't it work when they are here?
Upon receiving the news of the boycott by the European world, the entire body of Napoleon IV was dumbfounded. He had no idea why this happened.
Foreign Minister Karel Kadletz: ”Your Majesty, there has been a sudden boycott of our movement in Europe, and there must be some manipulation behind it.
Certainly it will not be the two countries. If they had this influence, they would have launched it long ago, and there is no need to compromise with us.
Only the British and Austrian countries have the power to influence the public opinion of European countries at the same time.
This is probably just the beginning. If you can't cope well, the enemy will have more actions against us. ”
The truth is no longer important, anyway, this **** bowl must be deducted. Otherwise, the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs is incompetent and fails to take timely action to curb the spread of the anti-French movement.
Economic Minister Elsa: ”No matter who the enemy is, the current situation cannot be sustained.
Every day that is delayed now is a great harm to the domestic economy. ”
France's withdrawal from the free trade system does not mean that it has no dependence on the international market. On the contrary, the French economy is still inseparable from the international market.
As long as France also imports industrial raw materials, it is necessary to export industrial and commercial products in exchange for foreign exchange in order to achieve a balance between import and export trade.
Resisted by the European world, France's foreign exports have fallen sharply, which has seriously affected the survival of domestic export companies.
Napoleon IV had a headache, and now there are two ways ahead of them: either resist it and wait for the news to fade before handling it; or abandon the aggressive terms and quell the storm.
Of course, there is a third option, which is to fight directly regardless of it.
There is no doubt that the third option is impossible. If there is no response from the European world, Napoleon IV dared to take a risk, so forget it now!
Since the rise of nationalism, public opinion hasn't gotten into trouble. Choosing to fight against the European people, who knows whether it will trigger a new round of war against France?
On this issue, the French people have set an example. During the Polish Revolution, the Volunteer Army was able to organize itself spontaneously. If the countries along the way did not borrow, they might have really passed.
To save oneself, this risk Napoleon IV had to consider. The most important thing is that the British allies are not helping. At this time, not only do they not help, but also follow the coax.
However, it seems that this is not to blame the British. The relationship between Belgium and Germany and Britain has always been good, and they will be an ally in one step, barely a quasi-younger brother.
Even if the British now need the support of France, they cannot easily abandon the chess pieces they have supported.
It didn't jump out and go right with the French government, this is already a face-saving.
