A spark can start a prairie fire, and revolution can be contagious, especially in France, a country with a strong revolutionary mentality.

Napoleon IV swallowed the bitter fruit of concessions to the consortium, expecting that his rule would become more consolidated with the support of the consortium, but the reality turned in the opposite direction.

It turns out that capital needs to be constrained. Once the shackles are released, capital eats people.

According to the agreement with the consortium: the French government handed over the economy to the market and did not interfere with the price of goods.

There is no doubt that this is the culprit behind the skyrocketing prices in France.

In the context of overcapacity around the world, it is easy to see what it means that prices can skyrocket.

At Versailles, Napoleon IV sat with a melancholy face, motionless. The successive rebellions in the country plunged him into self-doubt.

"Your Majesty, the ministers have arrived, when will the meeting begin?"

The voice of the maid woke Napoleon IV up.

"Invite them over, this is where today's meeting begins." Napoleon IV replied casually

According to the rules, there is also a fixed place for deliberations. However, France does not have such a creature as the imperial history, and when the emperor is in a bad mood, no one will dwell on such small issues.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

……

War Secretary Luskinia Hafez: "Your Majesty, after two days of bloody fighting by the 7th Division, we finally broke through Lyon yesterday afternoon, and it is expected that in the next two days we will clear the rebels in the Lyon area.

The Fifth Division had arrived in Toulouse the previous evening, and by this time had already begun to suppress the rebels, and it would not be long before good news came. ”

Without any surprise, the French Revolution fully expounded what it is: "Come in a hurry, go in a hurry".

Lyon, as the source of this revolution, was also the first place to be suppressed. The so-called bloody struggle is actually to show merit.

It can be said that as long as the Paris Revolution did not succeed, no matter how much other regions tossed around, there was no possibility of success.

Napoleon IV nodded with satisfaction, the performance of the army was still good, and according to the current situation, it would not be long before the rebellion would be suppressed.

Minister of Police Ansochi: "Your Majesty, last night we cracked another case of rebellion in Paris, arresting 36 members of the Revolutionary Party.

This is the fourth case of rebellion that we have cracked this month. There are all kinds of indications that there is a black hand behind this.

At the moment, we have not gathered enough information to determine who the black hand is.

The main targets of suspicion include: international anti-French forces such as Britain and Austria, the restoration forces of the former dynasty, and the domestic bourgeoisie. ”

There is no mention of the revolutionary party, because the revolutionary forces in France are relatively scattered, with more than three digits of large and small revolutionary organizations, most of which are three-minute hot, changing the old and the new every day.

Today's revolutionary party can become a royalist party tomorrow, and the identities of the two can be changed.

There are many factors that influence their change, it may be a government policy, a speech by a government official, or even the weather.

This is not an exaggeration at all, there are really revolutionary organizations that temporarily cancel the uprising because of the slippery roads on rainy days.

Of course, the reason is certainly not "slippery roads on rainy days", but people: to abandon the revolution in response to God's call.

There is nothing wrong with it, God can manage anything in Europe.

Since it rained at the time of the uprising, it meant that God did not want to see the war happen. As a devout believer, it is natural that you cannot go against God.

In those years, most of the revolutionary organizations in France were grass-roots groups, without their own political program, without a unified leadership, and most of the revolutionary members came and went freely, and they did not have the strength to carry out big actions.

Including the rebellion that broke out earlier, it was actually led by the trade unions. As for the revolutionary parties, their main role is to spread revolutionary ideas, plus to wave the flag and shout.

Napoleon IV frowned, and his instinct told him that these suspects might be behind them.

Needless to say, the restoration forces of the previous dynasty must do something if they want to change their own king to power!

Anglo-Austrian have just knocked them in the face in the financial markets, and now it is normal to continue the conspiracy.

Especially in the Lyon rebellion, the textile industry in direct France was hit hard, and the British were the biggest beneficiaries, and the suspicion index was full.

France and Austria are each other's biggest competitors for continental hegemony, and the Vienna government agrees that it is also suspected of being a black man.

Even if the Lyon rebellion at the beginning had nothing to do with these two countries, it should be related now.

The last object of suspicion, the "domestic bourgeoisie", does not need to be doubted.

There are so many capitalists, and they are not monolithic, and it is normal for a few capitalists to have their hearts set on revolution.

Napoleon IV sighed, the complexity of the situation made him sit on pins and needles. A single enemy is not terrible, the most troublesome thing is internal and external collusion, then it will cost human life.

After pondering for a while, Napoleon IV made a decision: "Inform the consortium and order them to calm prices within a week."

If they fail to do so, all the agreements we have reached before will be nullified, and the government will not rule out taking special measures to stabilize the situation in the country. ”

It was a naked "threat", and Napoleon IV knew very well what the basis of his rule was. If you continue to toss like this, it won't be long before you will follow in the footsteps of the July Dynasty.

Compared to this, offending the consortium is only a minor problem. No matter how strong the consortium is, it is only economically strong, as long as the basic market is stabilized, they will not be able to make big waves.

The capitalists all have big businesses, and it is okay to secretly make a little move, but it is impossible for them to go into the revolution in person.

While everyone was weighing the pros and cons, another piece of bad news came.

"Your Majesty, it's not a good thing. Last night there was a rebellion in several cities such as Rome, Turin, Cagliari, Chambéry, Nice.

Cagliari and Chambéry have fallen, fighting is still going on in other areas, and the local government has called for support from the garrison. ”

The Italian Independent Organization is not comparable to the French Revolutionary Party, and the combat effectiveness of the two is not at the same level at all.

The Italian independence organization not only has a nationalist program, but also has military and organizational talents. When the Sardinian royal family went into exile, it had many followers.

In recent years, with the banner of the Sardinian royal family and the covert support of Britain and Austria, the Italian independence organization has gradually been unified.

The French government has made many efforts to eliminate the Italian Independence Organization, but with little success.

With the support of many patrons on the European continent, the power of the Italian independence organization has not weakened, but has become stronger.

Napoleon IV panicked and said: "The War Office immediately sent troops to suppress it, and it must not leave them any respite!" ”

Unlike domestic rebellions, there are limits to what European countries can do even if they are small, and the political system makes it impossible for people to support the revolutionary party in a clear and unambiguous manner.

The Italian independence organization is different, led by the Sardinian royal family, under the banner of "independence" + "restoration", and is also a member of the monarchy system.

Once they are allowed to gain a firm foothold, the anti-French forces in Europe will inevitably support them, and it will not be so easy to suppress the rebellion when the time comes.

……

Vienna, the Austrian government received a letter of protest from the French. How can it be possible to do things without leaving clues?

Not surprisingly, Austria's support for the Italian independence organization was discovered by the French government.

The French protest was casually discarded by Franz without stirring up a single wave in the Vienna government.

I have to admit that France is to pull hatred, especially after the establishment of the "Great French Empire", that is, the villain boss is clearly written on the head, waiting for everyone to brush the copy.

Except for the two main forces of Britain and Austria, who really participated in the planning of this rebellion, other countries actually did not contribute much.

Except for a few countries that have been bullied by France in politics and diplomacy, and have contributed money and efforts out of revenge.

Most European countries donate money to Italian independence organizations only out of sympathy, or out of the royal family's face-saving compulsion.

There are so many countries involved, and even if the Paris government wants to retaliate, it doesn't know where to start.

Recently, most of the countries in Europe have received a letter of protest from the French government, and the matter has been gone since then.

This is really "the law does not hold the people accountable". It is impossible for the French government to hold everyone accountable under this pretext, either now or in the future, otherwise the anti-French alliance will come.

Franz asked with concern: "Is the government of Paris really in danger?" ”

It's one thing to fight the French Empire, it's another thing to kill it. If the French Empire really collapsed now, it would not be a good thing for Austria.

Revolutions are contagious, especially at a time when the continent is in the midst of an economic crisis. Once the French Revolution succeeds, it will inevitably trigger a new wave of revolution on the European continent.

At that time, Austria would have to send troops to help the European countries extinguish the fire. Franz didn't like the thankless drudgery that had to be done.

Prime Minister Felix: "Your Majesty, Paris is a powder keg now, but the slightest spark can explode at any time."

If the French government had responded effectively and pacified the people at the bottom in time, the crisis could have been suppressed, or the Bonaparte dynasty would have been overthrown.

Compared with the crisis in Paris, the Lyon rebellion and the Italian independence movement are nothing, as long as Paris is not chaotic, the French government will be able to solve these small troubles sooner or later. ”

Franz nodded, and countless facts have proved that the largest "powder keg" in Europe in modern times is no longer the Balkans, but Paris, the holy land of the revolution.

In order not to detonate this powder keg, Austria only supported the Italian independence organization when it made small moves, and never instigated the revolutionary party to launch a rebellion.

The positions of Britain and Austria on this issue were unified, and the Paris Revolution was full of too many uncertainties that no one wanted to set themselves on fire.

Under the butterfly effect, European history has been changed beyond recognition. Franz also did not dare to guarantee that there would not be another Napoleon in France.

The current French Empire still has a very solid foundation, and with a genius leader, Austria can still be unable to go around.

To be on the safe side, it is better to boil the frog in warm water. Toss a few more times, and when the French have almost lost their family, then rush up to make up for the knife is the king.
