Chapter 1007： Perilous (2/2)

Although there is a spillway, Franz still dare not take it lightly. There are so many lords in the Holy Roman Empire that continue to pull people in the country, and even the social unemployment rate can be driven to the lowest point in history by them. Naturally, there is no need to worry too much.

What really worries Franz is the many younger brothers. The seven states of Belgium and Italy, where the situation seems to be stable, do not know how long their morale can last?

Even if there are French people who pull hatred and divert the public's attention, the people's endurance has its limit. Just eating half full, I'm afraid it will not meet everyone's needs.

Let alone Spain, not to mention that the Bilbao uprising was put out, but the social contradictions in Spain still have not been resolved.

Others rely on war to divert the domestic crisis, but Spain aggravated the crisis because of the war. For no other reason, the victory was delayed, and the people were already impatient.

”Japan is very powerful”, this explanation is probably a European, who will laugh. In everyone's impression, the powers of the world are all in Europe, and all overseas are soft-leg shrimp.

In the original time and space, there were Italians constantly setting new records, and everyone was much more able to bear it. Even if the Spanish-American War failed, the Spanish people survived.

Now it is different. Without the Italian contracting jokes, the Spanish army’s current performance has become the object of ridicule.

It has been almost two years since the Battle of the Philippines broke out. The Spanish government has successively invested hundreds of thousands of Spanish army + hundreds of thousands of mercenaries, spending hundreds of millions of Aegis military expenditures, but failed to produce a decent record, and was ashamed to lose to my grandma's house.

In addition to these hardest-hit areas where a crash may occur, there are also some light-hit areas affected by the revolutionary wave, such as Greece and Switzerland, which also require special attention.

If the younger brother is just a hidden danger of revolution, then France, the cradle of revolution, is a bomb that ignites the line of fire.

As the big boss in the European War, after another civil war, France's losses are simply impossible to count. After finally waiting for the Bourbon dynasty to come to power, the situation stabilized, and immediately encountered an economic crisis.

Falling from the world's top powers to a third-rate country, this kind of mental gap is estimated to be unbearable for normal people. Now that they can’t even fill their stomachs, the people's grievances are even greater.

It has been a few rounds of dynasty change, no matter how to guide folk emotions, the sequelae will be borne by the Bourbon dynasty.

In a sense, the Philippine war also rescued France. Behind the hundreds of thousands of mercenaries are hundreds of thousands of families, and millions of people have made a living because of this war.

From this perspective, the Philippine war is also positive. In theory, as long as the number of mercenaries tripled, the dilemma faced by France would be easily solved.

After all, France is no longer the former French Empire. After a wave of chaos, the total population of France has fallen to less than 30 million.

If there are more than 400,000 mercenaries, the monthly salary income will be more than 6 million Aegis. If you add in the benefits on the battlefield, it will be even greater.

The return of so much foreign exchange can not only solve the livelihoods of hundreds of thousands of families, but also stimulate the domestic economy and create a large number of jobs.

However, this is impossible. Even if the Japanese have to die, the Spanish government cannot support so many mercenaries.

In the modernization war, salary expenses are only a small part. Even though the weapons and ammunition are second-hand after the victory of the Anti-French War, other logistics materials will also cost a lot.

In fact, the Spanish government has been able to persist until now because mercenaries are cheap enough.

It is not that the salary is cheap, but the pension is cheap. Out of humanitarian concern, it is enough to give something symbolically. There is no big problem if you don't give it. There is no need to worry about family members protesting.

The combat effectiveness is not bad, cheap and easy to use, there is no need to worry about family members protesting, and it is properly cost-effective. For a time, Franz wanted to sell French mercenaries to major colonial empires in order to help the French government tide over the crisis.

Thinking about it, specific actions are still impossible. The reason is very real. This is for the enemy. With cheap and easy-to-use mercenaries, the maintenance costs of colonies in various countries have been reduced, and the advantages of the Holy Roman Empire have been virtually weakened.

Of course, the most important thing is that French mercenaries are unpopular. Although France fell to the altar after the defeat, the fear of them in European countries still exists.

If French mercenaries are hired to maintain the stability of the colony, once France re-emerges, it will become a wolves into the house. Including Spain, which is using French mercenaries, is no exception. People are hired temporarily, and they will be sent back after the war.

If you switch to Swiss mercenaries, everyone's acceptance is estimated to be much higher. At least there is no need to worry that the Swiss will turn to the guest.

The No. 1 plan to solve hidden dangers in France went bankrupt, and Franz could only passively use the No. 2 plan, which was to fund the Bourbon dynasty and use the power of the noble group to stabilize the situation.

Fortunately, the people of Paris did not participate in the riot this time, and King Carlos's political skills were not bad, and the situation was barely stable. But overall, it is still not optimistic.

The current situation is that if the economic crisis does not end, the situation on the European continent will not be stable.

The only thing to be thankful for is that the revolutionary wave dragged Britain and Russia down. Everyone was on the edge of the cliff, and no one dared to mess around at this time.
