With the departure of one ship after another, the heritage of the Prussian kingdom that had been praised for hundreds of years was quietly hollowed out by Franz.

No, this should have nothing to do with Prussia. Now this is the territory of the Russians, and the close cooperation between Russia and Austria is completely what they need.

The tsarist government eliminated hidden dangers and stabilized the local situation; Austria has increased the population of the main ethnic groups, and both sides are winners.

As a testimony to the friendship between Russia and Austria, the two governments recently reached an agreement on a two-year extension of loan payments.

Purely friendly in nature, without any political strings attached. Since the agreement was reached, trade between the two countries in the Baltic Sea has flourished.

Affected by this boom in Russian-Austrian trade, Austrian companies engaged in international shipping business took the lead in emerging from the economic crisis, and a large number of ships shuttled between the Baltic Sea and the Austrian colonies every day.

This was followed by agricultural and commodity companies, which were driven up by immigrants and pulled them back from the brink of bankruptcy.

At the cost of the Austrian National Bank, tens of millions of Aegis housing loans have been issued to immigrants, artificially creating a consumer market.

……

A gunshot rang out in Lyon, shattering the tranquility of the European continent. After the Revolution of 1848, the revolutionary wave in Europe was once again ignited.

France was naturally the hardest hit area, and from Paris to Rome, there were revolutionary leaflets and slogans everywhere, similar to the small advertisements on telephone poles in later generations.

"Extinguishing fires" has become the most important job of the French government, and the police and army have no time to take vacations, and everyone is busy.

Influenced by the revolutionary wave, revolutionary groups in various European countries responded one after another.

On February 11, 1882, an uprising broke out in Madrid, the capital of Spain;

On February 13, 1882, Antwerp, Belgium's largest port and heavy industrial city, broke out in a dockworkers' uprising;

On February 13, 1882, a coal miners' uprising broke out in Luxembourg;

On February 21, 1882, a peasant revolt broke out in Switzerland;

On 1 March 1882, a textile workers' uprising broke out in London;

On 7 March 1882, an independence movement broke out in Ireland;

On March 12, 1882, a bourgeois revolution broke out in Portugal;

On March 17, 1882, an anti-Russian uprising broke out in the Polish region;

……

In less than two months, hundreds of revolutions, large and small, have erupted on the European continent, and more than half of the industrial cities have gone on strike.

As if overnight, Europe was back to the era of the Revolution.

It's a pleasure to watch others unlucky, and it's like sitting on pins and needles when it's your turn.

As the leader of the capitalist world, Austria has not been able to stand alone.

In the past two months, the Austrian government has put out the Milan textile workers' riots, the Venice independence movement, and the Saxony copper mine riots, and cracked dozens of revolutionary party cases.

Franz was terrified when he saw it, he never imagined that there would be so many chaotic parties under his rule.

There is no doubt that more than 80 percent of these revolutionary parties are supported by hostile forces from abroad, and two-thirds of them are the work of the British.

To Franz's gratification, Vienna was very stable in this wave of revolution, not only was there no way to make a revolution, but there was no strike.

At this time, Franz somewhat understood why European countries were going to deindustrialize in later generations.

Fortunately in normal times, once the economic crisis hits, the impact on the manufacturing industry is too severe.

Especially in labor-intensive industries, that is a disaster.

Contradictions arise when products cannot be sold, companies have to lay off workers to survive, it is difficult to find new jobs in the economic crisis, and workers also need to survive.

Other industries were also affected, but because the number of employees employed was relatively small and they were not clustered like large factories, the crisis was also dispersed.

Theoretically, as long as no one caused trouble, a colonial empire like Austria could have avoided a revolution.

There are no jobs for the unemployed in the country, but they can be resettled in overseas colonies. Generally speaking, people do not go to extremes as long as they have a choice.

Thinking of this, Franz gritted his teeth with hatred for John Bull. In order to retaliate against the British, Franz immediately decided to increase his support for the Irish independence organization and the British Revolutionary Party.

In a sense, this wave of revolution that spread throughout Europe was also the result of a few big hooligans stabbing each other.

Prime Minister Felix: "Your Majesty, I have just received news that about 5,000 people in the Silesian refugee camp have launched a protest to demand that the government intervene in the atrocities of the Russians and rescue the oppressed ......"

Before Felix could finish speaking, Franz angrily threw the cup in his hand. "Protest", when did the criminals also have the right to protest?

There is nothing wrong with it, and it is also okay for the camps to receive illegal immigrants who are legally defined as criminals.

Because of the large number of people involved, the Vienna government did not directly define everyone as criminals, but only punished the leaders.

This protest undoubtedly challenged Franz's bottom line. Isn't it nonsense that the atrocities of the Russians, protesting to the Austrian government?

Austria is not an international policeman, so why should it interfere in other people's internal affairs. If you really point fingers, you will be beaten to death sooner or later.

The Vienna government has resettled most of them, but more than 200,000 people remain in the camps, awaiting resettlement.

Franz sneered: "All those who participated in the protest should be returned to the Russian Empire and given to Alexander III to grow potatoes."

All those responsible will be removed from their posts and held accountable. An investigation team was sent to investigate the ins and outs of the matter, and I do not believe that this was initiated by the refugees. ”

The fact that the camps are militarized and can still erupt in protests would not have been believed by Franz without the malfeasance of the managers.

To put it mildly, the managers are unwilling, and no one in the camp can hear what is happening in the outside world.

These people were not idle, and Franz also built a fence on the border. It's not for anything, it's mainly for the refugees to find something to do, so as not to get into trouble when they are idle.

Thousands of precautions, trouble is still coming to the door. For the sake of long-term peace and stability, Franz had to make an example of the monkeys.

The return to the Russian Empire was the greatest punishment. The tsarist government would not welcome them, and they were lucky to be able to go to Siberia to grow potatoes.

Prime Minister Felix proposed: "Your Majesty, the problem of repatriating these troublesome refugees is not a big problem, but the trouble is the growing tide of revolution in Europe.

Although most of the insurrections initiated by the revolutionary party ended in failure and were not as powerful as in 1848, the damage caused by these frequent insurrections should not be underestimated.

For the sake of peace and stability in the European world, it is necessary for us to convene another international conference to unite the governments of all countries and jointly curb the spread of revolutionary ideas. ”

In these years, there is no government that is not afraid of "revolution", and due to the limitation of productive forces, all countries in the world, the people at the bottom have a hard time.

"Life is not easy" has the will to revolution, and the soil of revolution exists, and those with vested interests naturally panic.

It seems that these revolutionary events occurred in isolation, but in fact, more than 90 percent of the revolutions are inseparable from international forces.

They may not have directly planned the rebellion, but they supported the revolutionary organizations, disseminated revolutionary ideas, and provided shelter to the revolutionaries.

Of course, small countries are also involved. It's just that the range of action is smaller, mainly for thought output.

After the Revolution of 1848, the countries of Europe learned their lesson and settled for a while, but they did not expect that now they would be resurrected.

Franz was not in a position to blame others on this issue, and Austria did no less to do similar things.

At least the turmoil in Britain and France was due to the Viennese government. Without Austria, the continent would not have been so lively.
