After a pause, Napoleon IV nodded: ”It's not really good. The response is too direct, and our allies will feel uncomfortable.
Would you like to reorganize the language, talk more about the difficulties we are facing, and appease their broken hearts? ”
Karel Kadletz stopped talking. No matter how you reply, you cannot change the fact that the French government is a fisherman.
Perhaps before the outbreak of the Anglo-Russian War, the French government had to take care of their feelings. Now it is no longer necessary.
Even if Britain and Russia have grievances, that is what happened after the war.
The current international situation is very obvious. Austria supports the Russians. France ’s position will directly affect the outcome of this war.
If France maintains neutrality or supports Britain, this war can continue. If France supports the Russians, Britain will not be able to contend with the three major powers at the same time.
How can you give up this kind of opportunity?
Stimulating the UK and Russia is actually for the two countries to give more sincere prices. After all, people cannot recognize themselves at any time.
Prime Minister Terrence Burgin proposed: ”Your Majesty, the Anglo-Russian War has broken out, and it seems that it will not end in a short time. We consider implementing the next strategy.”
For the French Empire, knocking on the bamboo sticks of Britain and Russia can only be regarded as a small profit.
The biggest benefit to France from the outbreak of the Anglo-Russian War was that the shackles imposed on them were gone.
The only thing that can control France is Austria, but this is only a restriction, and it is not enough to make the French government afraid.
Foreign Minister Karel Kadletz: ”Let's wait until the end. The Anglo-Russian war has just begun, and the two sides have not yet fought.
Our movements are too large, stimulating their sensitive nerves, and Britain and Russia are likely to stop.
Just like the war in the Near East, Austria wanted to unify the German region, and the countries in the war did not stop.
If the Austrians restrained their emotions and waited until the end of the Near East War to send troops, I am afraid no one could stop them. ”
The Vienna government's failure to unify the German region by using the First Near East War that year triggered intervention in various European countries. In the end, it only merely annexed South Germany.
From Karel Kadletz's point of view, it is a ready-made negative example. If there were more days to wait for the Russian army to hit Constantinople, it would be a completely different result.
The Minister of Economy Elsa objected: ”The failure of Austria to unify the German region is not only due to the interference of European countries, but also the fierce opposition of the Kingdom of Prussia.
The Vienna government did not have the courage to fight a civil war and could only sit back and watch the division in the German region, even if it waited until the end.
We are in a different situation now. We just want to transfer a few coal mines than Germany, and instead of directly annexing the two countries, the British and Russia will endure no matter how dissatisfied they are.
The only person capable of interfering is Austria. Both countries have no courage to fight against us. I do n’t think the Vienna government will fight us for the two countries. This is not in their interest.
As long as the established facts are created, most of the Austrians will shout, and the Foreign Ministry will come to appease them.
In recent years, our economy has recovered rapidly, but there are still some difficulties to get past the peak.
The main factors restricting our economic growth are insufficient domestic coal supply and high prices, which increase the cost of industrial production.
It may not be intuitive to say this, for a simple example:
After the outbreak of the Anglo-Russian War, the export trade of all European countries has increased. Just last month, our total export trade increased by 0.7 percentage points year-on-year, setting the highest growth rate in eight years.
However, the total export trade of European countries mostly exceeded 1 percentage point, and the total export trade of Austria increased by at least 2 percentage points.
We are behind again. This is not because the domestic industry is not working hard. In fact, no one works harder than the capitalists on the issue of making money.
However, there is a shortage of coal in the country, and there is obviously excess production capacity in the two countries, but they have to hoard and force us to pay more to buy.
They are a group of vampires, lying on the head of the French business community and devouring our wealth.
Now for a day, France will be lost ... ”
It is too difficult to annex the two countries. Even if only one family is annexed, it will cause great trouble.
Although he has not been beaten by society, there are still traces of the shadow of the anti-French war.
In order to reduce the risk, the French government quietly lowered its target and subdivided the plan to annex the two countries, preparing to blackmail several mines from the two countries.
