After half a sound, seeing that the foreign minister still did not speak, Napoleon IV sighed helplessly.

It is not a day or two since France has been isolated by European countries, dating back to the Middle Ages. The Bonaparte dynasty was besieged from the very beginning.

Successive French governments have made efforts to change their political and diplomatic isolation, but unfortunately with little success.

As if under a curse, every time the French government improves relations with European countries, it will not be long before a major incident breaks out and the hatred value is filled again.

Not to mention the fact that Napoleon III had rapprochement with the European states and then annexed Italy, and all previous diplomatic efforts were lost.

Napoleon IV made the same efforts after his accession to the throne, and there were no exceptions. It's just that this time it's not them who do it, it's someone who does it.

The ending was the same, and diplomatic relations, which had finally improved somewhat, immediately fell to the freezing point again.

Even the Spanish government, which was single-handedly supported by the French, was lukewarm to them and was not an ally at all.

Against this backdrop, it would be a fool's dream for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to convince European countries to agree to the French government issuing bonds in various countries.

After much hesitation, Napoleon IV said slowly: "The refugee relief plan has been cancelled for the time being, and negotiations with the consortium have been resumed." ”

Facts have once again proved that no money is absolutely impossible. The big farm program has only just begun, not even the seeds have been sown, and France is still an importer of grain.

With the government's precious foreign exchange, he bought food from abroad to help the indigenous people of the colony. For the colonists, this was a very extravagant act.

When the government had money, Napoleon IV did not mind showing kindness and saving these "laborers". Since there is no money now, there is no need to think about it.

Prime Minister Terrence Bulkin reminded: "Your Majesty, negotiate with the consortium now, they will definitely open their mouths and have to pay the price......"

Napoleon IV interrupted: "Do we have a choice?" Domestic cotton stocks have been depleted, most cotton textile enterprises are laying off workers and reducing production, and the unemployment rate has increased sharply.

If cotton production in Egypt is not resumed as soon as possible, domestic textile enterprises will die. What will happen to those millions of textile workers? ”

Knowing that it was to quench his thirst, Napoleon IV still had no choice. The market needs confidence and does not let the capitalists see hope, and a wave of bankruptcies and unemployment will soon follow.

In order not to have a great revolution, knowing that there would be endless troubles after compromising with the consortium, Napoleon IV could only admit it.

Chancellor of the Exchequer Roy Vernon said with some trepidation: "Otherwise we are anti-Semitic, right?" ”

The Jews were important creditors of the French government, holding at least one-third of the French government's debt.

If you start an anti-Semitic campaign, you won't have to pay these debts. Raid the house and confiscate the assets of the Jews, and the current difficulties will be over.

After hesitating for a moment, Napoleon IV nodded: "Send someone to talk to the Jewish consortium first, and if they are willing to lend money to the government, let them go." ”

Money or death, this is a difficult choice. The tragedy is that the multiple-choice Jews have no idea of the consequences of refusal.

Even if someone wants to get it, it is difficult to make a part in front of interests. It can be said that from the moment Napoleon IV made this decision, a new round of anti-Jewish campaigns in France began.

……

At the Vienna Palace, putting down the newspaper in his hand, Franz noticed that something was wrong, and in recent times, there has been a sudden increase in news about the black history of Jews in Europe.

With many years of political experience, Franz can be sure that this was a premeditated targeted operation.

Otherwise, black-hearted capitalists are everywhere in these years, why are they all Jewish capitalists exposed in the newspapers?

Of course, newspapers are certainly fine. The news published above is full of pictures and truths, and everything that happens can be hammered, completely fulfilling the responsibility of a journalist.

Even if you know that there is someone behind it, there is no way, what should be reported still has to be reported, who made Jewish capital itself unclean.

Although the Vienna government has relatively strict control over the press, the core of the vienna government is to seek truth from facts, and the crackdown is on rumor-mongering and rhythm. This kind of real news is not within the scope of control.

Not to mention exposing the black history of Jewish capitalists, even if they are powerful in China, as long as there is evidence of their crimes, the newspapers can still expose them.

……

On Christmas Eve, the French economist Julien Faubert gave a radio speech entitled "Beware of the Men Behind the Economic Crisis", pointing the finger at the Jewish consortium.

Soon after, a number of French experts and scholars spoke out in public, placing the blame for the deterioration of the domestic economy on the heads of the Jewish consortium.

Under the deliberate indulgence of the French government, violence against the Jews increased for a time.

Sensing the approaching danger, the experienced Jewish capitalist immediately offered an invincible "franc" PR.

However, this time it was too late. From the beginning of the breakdown of the negotiations, the French government has already made a decision.

On January 4, 1886, the Paris government launched an investigation into a number of domestic banks on suspicion of "colluding with foreign hostile forces to short the franc and engage in financial crimes", which kicked off the climax of the anti-Semitic campaign.

……

As time went on, the anti-Semitic movement in Europe grew stronger, and the Jews were once again in a predicament of being shouted at by everyone.

On January 11, 1886, Eduard York, the mayor of the Free City of Frankfurt, published an article in the Austrian daily newspaper, criticizing Jewish capital for manipulating stock prices and fabricating "good and bad news" out of thin air in order to make huge profits.

Prior to this, the Frankfurt Securities Commission had issued investigation orders to a number of securities companies and foundations controlled by Jewish capital.

The news was hammered, and the anti-Semitic campaign spread to Austria. Countless leeks were gnashed at the Jews.

In this era of inconvenient communication, the anti-Semitic movement went from warm-up to upsurge in just over a month, which is enough to prove that the Jews are qualified back-off-the-beaten-bearers.

……

At the government meeting, Franz asked with a blank face: "What do you think of the growing anti-Semitic movement among the people?" ”

Not only is the anti-Semitic movement among the people on the rise, but even the anti-Semitic voices in the government have taken over the mainstream, but they are limited by the rules and do not speak out publicly.

Just because you can't take a stand doesn't mean you can't be anti-Semitic. It's okay to post some black histories of Jewish capital, and Edward York is just one of them.

Recently, the industry and commerce, quality inspection, labor inspection commission, taxation bureau, securities regulatory commission...... and many other institutions are in action.

They are all cracking down on violations and crimes within the scope of the rules, and there is tangible evidence for every action, and no one can say anything.

If it weren't for the possibility that the situation might get out of control, Franz didn't bother to ask. After all, cracking down on illegal crimes is itself the function of government departments.

As long as the punishment is carried out in accordance with the provisions of Austrian law and there is no abuse of power, there is no problem.

Prime Minister Karl: "Your Majesty, since the beginning of the anti-Semitic campaign by the French, the tide of anti-Semitism has risen on the European continent.

The situation in the country is relatively stable, it has not spread to ordinary Jews, and most of the people targeted are Jewish capitalists.

The government has tightened security controls to prohibit violent acts such as smashing, looting, and burning.

At the same time, the government also encourages the public to expose all criminal violations, and we will not tolerate these criminals. ”

Franz rubbed his forehead, he now understood. The roots of the frequent misfortunes of the Jewish capitalists in recent times lie here.

In these days, there are very few capitalists who are completely legal, and as long as they investigate carefully, they will always be able to find problems.

Because the involvement is too wide, Franz can't beat everyone to death with a stick, so he can only pick a few serious problems to come out and make an example.

The Jewish capitalists had their own problems, which were exposed at a time when anti-Semitism throughout Europe was being struck.

Prime Minister Karl, who was unhappy with the Jewish capitalists, made it clear this time that he would take matters into his own hands and punish him in full accordance with Austrian laws and regulations, and perhaps even impose a heavier punishment.

Knowing is knowing, Franz has no intention of stopping. The dignity of the law must be upheld, and it is entirely reasonable and lawful for the government to do so.

"It's good that you know what to expect. It is necessary to be strict in cracking down on violations and crimes, but it is strictly forbidden to expand matters.

For the sake of domestic economic stability, the government must do a good job in dealing with the aftermath while enforcing the law, especially to stabilize employment.

When it comes to people-intensive industries such as manufacturing factories, state-owned enterprises can first take over the operation, and then conduct public auctions in accordance with laws and regulations after the dust settles. ”
