Chapter 876： French plan (2/2)
”Hoarding strange” is just an excuse Elsa found out, in fact, the rise in coal prices is just normal business behavior.
Capitalists want to make greater profits, naturally they will not give up any opportunities. After the outbreak of the Anglo-Russian War, the prices of many commodities in Europe have increased slightly.
It's just that the capitalists in France couldn't bear it anymore. They were originally prepared to make a fortune in war, but suddenly found that the price of energy had also risen.
Those who are expected to earn ten million francs can only earn nine million francs due to rising energy prices, which is equivalent to a loss of one million francs.
French capitalists are naturally unwilling to share profits with others. In order to maximize profits, everyone has launched their influence and encouraged the government to grab coal mines in the two countries.
Foreign Minister Karel Kadletz shook his head: ”Do n’t forget that the coal mines are all owned. What if the governments of the two countries refuse to deal with us on the grounds that their private property is sacred and inviolable?
Send troops to fight and grab, are you sure they dare not fight us?
Even in Belgium, the strength of the German Federation is not weak. Once those piles of small states are united, even we cannot win it in a short time.
Once there is a stalemate in the war, the Austrians will take advantage of the fire and the British and Russian nations will contribute.
If only the Austrian family can withstand it, the problem is that they will encourage the European countries to fight against us together.
No matter how powerful the Imperial Army is, it cannot compete with the European countries. Once the war begins, we cannot control it later.
In order to be safe, we had better wait for Britain and Russia to fight the real fire and force European countries to stand in line.
After the European countries split into two waves, we forced the two countries to make concessions. Even if the situation is out of control, we will not fight alone in the presence of an alliance. ”
Failure makes people grow. As a French foreign minister, Karel Cardellitz deeply understands the root cause of France ’s defeat in the anti-French war-fewer allies and more enemies.
In order to avoid repeating the same mistakes, Karel Kadletz has always advocated: provoking contradictions among European countries and dividing relations among countries.
In this British-Russian war, his contribution is indispensable.
After hearing the explanation of the Foreign Minister, the eager heart of Napoleon IV cooled down. Having passed the age of ignorance, Napoleon IV also learned to weigh the pros and cons.
”Karel is right. It is not the best time. The most important thing now is to continue to advance the process of the Anglo-Russian War.
Only when they are both defeated, our eastward plan can proceed smoothly.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs stimulated the Russians again and told the tsarist government that as long as they conquered Herat or the Wakhan Corridor, we would issue them billions of francs in war bonds. ”
There is no way to agitate the Russians. The British government is too sensible and it is too difficult to foole them.
Once the British army succeeded on the battlefield and expelled the Russians from the Afghan region, the British government would take it away.
Changing the tsarist government is different. Once the Afghan region is conquered, the Russians ’strategic focus shifts to India.
No one can stop the Russians' ambitions for India. The British government cannot compromise on this issue, and the two sides can only die.
In this regard, the judgments of France and Austria are consistent. The Vienna government also contributed money and supported the tsarist government to fight all the way to India.
As for the question of whether the Russians will become bigger after seizing the Indian region, this worry is completely unnecessary.
The British Empire this year is not easy to provoke, and once fought together, it is enough to move any country.
Based on the strength of the Russians, the attempt to seize India from the British could not be accomplished overnight.
Without the support of the gold master, it would not take long for the Russians to be dragged down by huge military expenses.
Prime Minister Terrence Burgin reminded: ”Your Majesty, the Anglo-Russian War has broken out. As an ally of the British, we are now issuing bonds for the Russians, which is outdated.”
Pit allies should also pay attention to ways and methods. It is okay to dig holes in secret. Such flags declaring destruction and hindering the legs will violate the rules of the game.
The international reputation of France was completely over, and no country dared to play with them.
Napoleon IV smiled slightly: ”It doesn't matter, we just have to change the way of operation, the British have nothing to say.
For example: we issue a billion francs of commercial bonds for Austria, and the Austrians lent the money to the tsarist government. ”
