The sudden economic crisis also blinded the Austrian government, and this thing was also the first time they had experienced it, and everyone had little experience.

The problem is that the economic crisis caused by the industrial crisis is obviously out of place.

Government funding to save the world?

This is obviously impossible, and Metternich will not think about how to save these capitalists unless his brain is in water.

Of course, there are still necessary measures, such as the government's tariff cuts due to the sharp rise in prices, which will immediately return to normal.

However, the domestic crisis has not been resolved, and the capitalists and aristocrats who have hoarded a large amount of materials have lost all their pants this time.

In the case of daily necessities, the prices on the retail market in Vienna are now only 66 percent of what they were in the first half of 1847, less than one-third of the retail prices in December, when prices were at their highest.

The price drop is only one aspect, the most important thing is the decline in purchasing power, even at the current price, the people have no money to buy.

This is tragic.

Under normal circumstances, the wholesale price of daily necessities is 30 or 40 percent lower than the retail price, and when the retail price falls, the capitalists will lose a lot of money and leave the market, and most people can afford this loss.

Now the problem is that there is no market, where are the piles of goods, but there is no buyer.

Powerful capitalists can still hold on, but those with insufficient strength have broken the capital chain and run away with a lot of debts owed to the bank.

Austria's financial institutions were also hit hard as a result, and the financial crisis broke out, and the vicious circle continued to ferment.

The era of the Great Depression came, and no one on the continent, not just Austria, but the entire European continent except Russia, was immune.

There is no doubt that the implementation of the "Labor Protection Act" introduced by the Vienna government has been suspended, and there are no jobs, so what treatment is there to talk about?

The bourgeois goal was achieved, and the Vienna government did make concessions and the Labour Protection Act was suspended, but this was not what they wanted.

The sudden economic crisis has greatly damaged the vitality of the bourgeoisie. Because market competition has become cruel, the internal contradictions of the capitalists are also intensifying.

Prime Minister Metternich emerged as the biggest winner and the biggest loser. He succeeded in thwarting the bourgeois conspiracy, but unfortunately he still had to clean up the mess after the victory.

Franz was stunned, he didn't expect that it would end like this in the end, the bourgeoisie, the aristocracy, and the government were all the losers in this political struggle.

If there were victors, Ferdinand I, who had done nothing in the palace, was one of them, but he could not feel it himself.

Then, the working class won and lost, Austria's economic crisis was worse than it was in history, their life was even more miserable, and the only thing they had to gain was a Labour Protection Act that was not yet known when it would be implemented.

In short, the future is beautiful, the reality is cruel.

"Grand Duke, last night a revolution broke out in Sicily!"

Taryn, the intelligence chief, hurried in and brought the shocking news to Franz.

Franz was indeed stunned, didn't the European Revolution of 1848 begin in France in February? How did a Sicilian revolution come about?

Well, Franz admits that his knowledge of Sicily is limited to the beautiful legends of Sicily, where the land is fertile for food production and its strategic location in the heart of the Mediterranean.

Then there was no more, and after recalling it carefully, Franz remembered that the history books seemed to raise a sentence that the January Revolution broke out in Italy before the February Revolution broke out in France.

The original text is the January Revolution in Italy, which opened the prelude to the European Revolution of 1848, and it is just a brushstroke, without superfluous explanations, and Franz did not pay attention to it.

It's a sinkhole! Italy has not yet been unified, and the current Sicily is still an independent Kingdom of Sicily, and it has a Mao relationship with Italy?

For this reason, he also sent people to keep an eye on the Kingdom of Sardinia, who let them finally unify Italy?

Soon Franz recovered, and he was not specialized in historical research, and it was normal for him to be unfamiliar with small events that were not taken seriously in history.

"Is this revolution on a large scale? Did you overthrow the Kingdom of Sicily? ”

Why did the revolution break out, he can guess without asking, the economic crisis has broken out, and the people of the Kingdom of Sicily can't live anymore!

"Grand Duke, this is not clear, we have too few intelligence officers in the Kingdom of Sicily, so there is no way to figure out the situation in such a short time!"

Taryn explained in embarrassment that it was really not that he didn't work hard, but that intelligence work could not be completed overnight, and it would be good to receive the news in such a short time.

At this time, wireless telegraphy had not yet been invented, and the cable telegraph was laid in the big cities, and what happened in Sicily had to go through a series of transfers before it could reach Vienna.

If you wait for the news to spread naturally, it is not surprising that the news will likely lag by three to five days, or even a week or two.

"Well, forget it then, let's focus on Vienna, Milan, Venice and Budapest, the revolution in the Kingdom of Sicily could have a chain reaction!" Franz thought for a moment and said

He has already figured it out, he can't control the affairs outside, let's stabilize the country first, and leave nothing else, at least he must receive the news before the revolution breaks out and be prepared, right?

"Yes, Grand Duke!"

Seeing that Franz did not blame, Taryn breathed a sigh of relief, the combat effectiveness of the intelligence organization has decreased a lot compared to back then, and he, the person in charge, also has an unshirkable responsibility.

Well, he doesn't yet know how low Franz expects them from. As the saying goes, cheap is not good, and good is not cheap.

More than 95 percent of the personnel in the intelligence organization are voluntary labor, and without a penny of remuneration, what else can Franz ask for?

These are the fruits of many years of operation by the Habsburg family, and it is not a joke to conquer Europe with the lower half of their bodies, and the network of connections has long spread across the continent.

Taking advantage of these relationships, it is okay to communicate with each other about the news, and to order people to do things, Franz does not think that he has such a strong domineering spirit.

As for Tyron, there is no doubt that he is a temporary replacement, and when Franz's own intelligence organization is completed, they will attract the attention of the outside world on the bright side.

When the revolution broke out in Sicily, Franz began to prepare, and he did not dare to put his life on others.

Under this pretext, Franz conducted a training session for the Royal Guard, regrouping the existence of the abusive and indiscriminate numbers separately.
