The economic crisis is still raging, and all walks of life have been affected, but the shipping industry is an exception.

As a result of the Vienna government's policies, European companies engaged in ocean shipping have seen a surge in business and a boom against the market.

First, the Great Migration Policy of Eastern Europe, in which millions of people from East and West Prussia went to the African continent, and now there is a wave of transnational "resettlement".

Shipping companies engaged in international trade are living a very prosperous life, and even the economy is showing signs of recovery.

Of course, this is just an illusion. The economic crisis is worse than it seems, and the UK and Austria continue to play dumping in order to crack down on their rivals.

With the dual advantages of technology and raw materials, the cost of industrial products in Britain and Austria is mostly lower than that of European countries, which creates favorable conditions for dumping.

Everyone is losing money, people can still save their capital, and the game can naturally continue. In order to drag down their competitors, the British and Austrian capitalists also made a bloody investment.

As a result, calls for withdrawing from the free trade system and establishing a tariff protection system are growing in the European world.

Paris, which had just ended a revolution and the blood had not yet dried, the citizens of Paris once again took to the march to protest against the dumping of goods in Britain and Austria and demand that the government protect the market.

Listening to the "cries of the capitalists" outside, not the cries of the people, Napoleon IV in the temporary palace only felt a lot of pressure.

Economy Minister Elsa cautiously analyzed: "Although the domestic economy is showing signs of recovery, the recovery speed is too slow.

Most industries, under the impact of foreign goods, are struggling.

The best way to recover the economy in a short period of time is to withdraw from the free trade system and protect the domestic market.

But as a result, we are easily isolated internationally. We need to pull out of the free trade system with a few countries, and everyone will share the pressure from Britain and Austria.

Under the Great Dumping Policy of Britain and Austria, many countries around the world are miserable, and all countries urgently need to change the situation.

As a world power, France has the responsibility to lead everyone to free themselves from the oppression of Britain and Austria and establish a harmonious commercial system free of dumping. ”

The front part is the profession of the Minister of Economy, and the back part is obviously stealing the lines. Generally speaking, pulling allies is the business of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Foreign Secretary Terence Bulkin frowned: "Your Excellency, things are not so simple.

It was mainly the industrial countries that were seriously affected by the Anglo-Austrian dumping, and the colonial empires such as the Netherlands, Spain, and Portugal had a limited degree of industrialization and were very limited in their impact.

Maybe they're still cheering, excited about the price drop. They will not stand with us if their self-interest is not involved.

The only countries that are really affected in Europe are Belgium and North Germany, are you sure that we are going to win them over? ”

It's not a question of whether to pull or not, the key is that it can't be pulled at all.

The Great Dumping of Britain and Austria was the most costly, and it could not continue, and the patience was over, and the French wanted to swallow them in one gulp.

No matter how much the Paris government tried to hide it, the voice of the people's eastward march still frightened the two countries. If you don't hug the thighs of Britain and Austria, how can people sleep?

Economy Minister Elsa did not hesitate to say: "Of course! In the wake of the economic crisis, unemployment has increased in all countries, and the governments of both countries are under tremendous pressure.

Being able to get out of the crisis, I don't think they will refuse. As for their worries, then give them a guarantee.

We can sign a treaty with both countries to guarantee their national defense and security, and let them be our source of raw materials. ”

After listening to the explanation of the Minister of Economy, Terence Bulkin was a little crying and laughing, and asked: "Your Excellency, do you think that the rulers of Belgium and Germany are fools?"

You know, unlike us, they don't have colonies to support them.

After exiting the free trade system, who do they sell their goods to? Where do industrial raw materials come from?

Give us the origin of raw materials, Your Excellency, you really dare to think!

To ensure their safety, what to protect, and why should people believe in you? ”

The increase in unemployment in recent years is really not a big deal. Both the major colonial empires and the countries of the Americas welcomed European immigrants.

Moreover, Belgium and North Germany are both key areas for Austrian immigrants, and there is a colonial government that is responsible for the ferry tickets, and everyone can emigrate abroad if they lose their jobs and livelihoods.

As long as the government cooperates with the publicity, it can send the trouble away. Without the revolutionary pressure brought about by the wave of unemployment, everyone naturally has to weigh the pros and cons.

The market and industrial raw materials are only one aspect, the key is to speculate on the export price of coal with the British and Austrian people, and make huge profits.

The brain was in water, so he turned away the benefits sent to the door and ran to be the source of raw materials for the French.

Security is even more of a joke, if a treaty will work, then what is the military for?

France's credibility is actually better than that of Britain and Russia, and if you want to rely on this thing to win the world, you still need the Paris government to work hard.

Doesn't the Minister of Economy know about these issues? Obviously, this is not possible. How can you be a real fool if you can climb to such a high position?

It's just that sometimes it's hard to get confused, especially for politicians, pretending to be confused is a compulsory course.

Basically, all the strange policies were born in this context. It looks funny on the surface, but there is often an invisible chain of interests hidden behind it.

It is the industrial and commercial capitalists in China who need to implement trade protection, and if they want to develop the economy, they must deal with these people.

The capitalists need to make money, and Elsa also needs political achievements. They are all beneficiaries of promoting trade protection policies.

Knowing that the reason was untenable, the Minister of Economy, Elsa, still defended herself: "Aren't there still Americans?"

The United States of America, which is also nearing the end of industrialization, is also a victim of Anglo-Austrian dumping and urgently needs to shake off this yoke. ”

When it comes to this cheat ally, everyone gets angry. After the outbreak of the Anti-French War, the first major thing the U.S. government did was to lay a stone on France.

Of course, Napoleon III still took revenge, and during the Civil War, Britain, France, Austria and the West successfully divided the United States.

Chancellor of the Exchequer Roy Vernon echoed: "The economic situation in the country is very bad, and with the government revenues falling sharply, our debt has reached a very dangerous level.

In case you don't notice, we are now the most indebted government in the world, and we have to pay huge amounts of interest on our funds every month.

If this doesn't change, maybe one day we'll go bankrupt. ”

France, which did not engage in a major war, had a government debt that exceeded that of the Russian Empire, and it is possible to believe it when you say it, but this is an indisputable fact.

As the first country in the world to rely on government investment to stimulate the economy, France has been in deficit for most of the time, and the accumulated deficit has become an astronomical amount over time.

In the short term, everyone's life is indeed better, but it also overdraws the future.

From the time of Napoleon III to the transformation of Paris, the government invested in infrastructure to stimulate the economy, and the French economy entered a golden age.

Originally, this pattern could continue for many years, but unfortunately not long ago, Britain and Austria attacked French finance, and the value of the franc fell by one-third for a time.

This was followed by an economic crisis, a civil war, and a series of combined punches that directly damaged the French financial system, and the Paris government's financing capacity declined.

Against this backdrop, the French government had to tighten its belts to get by.

Napoleon IV nodded: "There is no way to withdraw from the free trade system." If the domestic economy improves, we can go back again.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs must enlist as many allies as possible to share international pressure with us.

At the same time, we must do a good job of explaining the difficulties we are facing so that everyone can understand as much as possible and reduce the hostility of the international community towards us. ”

Withdrawing from the free trade system would offend Britain and Austria and leave them diplomatically isolated for a while.

Anyway, they are all used to it, and if they want to be isolated, they will be isolated, and a piece of meat is indispensable.

If you continue to insist on staying in the free trade system, you will be sheared for a long time.

Maybe one day, Britain and Austria felt that the rate of return on wool reduction was too low, and they directly began to eat mutton.

The world is so wonderful, driven by interests, France is actually going to stand with the guy he doesn't like again.

Of course, compared with the "Blasphemy Alliance" back then, this is all pediatrics.

The United States of America was being sidelined, and it was because the Commonwealth had done a good job of public relations and was at ease acting as a source of raw materials and a dumping market for goods, and it was only natural for the Great Powers to welcome this kind of profitable and upright little brother.

In essence, everyone is still in the cultural circle, even if it is not pleasing to the eye, it is only because of interests, and there is no deep hatred and hatred.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Foreign Secretary Terrence Bulkin replied gloomily
