Chapter 30 Restore Confidence in the Market?

In Vienna's Bolton Manor, more than a dozen well-dressed big men gathered. Although they tried their best to control it, they still couldn't hide the temperament of the outburst.

A gorgeously dressed middle-aged man hesitated and asked, "Mr. Owen, can these mud-legged men do it?" Even if we get them weapons, a rabble won't be able to make the climate, right? ”

The atmosphere in the room was a little dull, and the graceful and noble man sitting on the throne slowly stood up, smiled slightly, and said slowly:

"Of course they can't do it alone, Mr. Love! However, we were not the only ones who wanted revolution in Austria at this time!

How much has this economic crisis hurt Austria, and everyone has felt it, right?

It can be said that the capitalists of all eight layers in Austria suffered heavy losses, and hundreds of thousands of people lost their jobs as a result.

The Vienna government is inactive, and if everyone wants to live, is there any other choice but revolution? ”

This is the crux of the matter, by this time, the vast majority of capitalists have been pushed into a corner, but many people do not realize it.

At present, many Austrian capitalists have hoarded a large number of goods in their hands, and if they cannot sell them in a short time, the capital chain will be broken.

Now the question is who can you sell to?

Ordinary people can't afford it, and at this time in Austria, there are too few people with purchasing power.

The people in the bank have never been easy to talk to, and as vampires in the advanced stage of the bourgeoisie, they have always been the masters who eat people and do not spit out bones.

If the capitalists do not want to be finished, breaking the existing order and cutting the flesh of the aristocracy to survive the crisis is the only option.

Also facing this problem are a large number of unemployed workers, who may not want to rebel, but their stomachs cannot deceive people.

When a hungry stomach is hungry, people lose their minds, and if someone agitates them, a revolution can break out in minutes.

Compared with history, the social contradictions in Austria during this period have changed, and it is not because of the unsuccessful demand for government reform, but because of the fact that they were forced into a revolution.

An old man, who was about fifty or sixty years old, shook his head and said, "Mr. Owen, we use the mud legs to revolt, what if they want to establish a proletarian government and bring us together to the revolution?" ”

This is also a problem that all capitalists fear, because in this era the proletarian idea has begun to sprout, and once the proletariat is allowed to establish a government, it will kill them.

Owen smiled and said: "This problem is very simple, our French counterparts have helped us solve this problem, after the success of the revolution, as long as we seize power at the first time, there will be no problems."

There are now nearly 120,000 workers in Vienna, and under our deliberate control, the guilds are divided into hundreds of large and small groups according to trades and factories.

As long as they are not united, then the new government will inevitably be dominated by us, and you don't think that there are people among the mud legs who can organize them, do you? ”

Get organized? In this era of shouting for correspondence, it is estimated that the members of various trade union organizations recognize each other as a question.

Most of these trade union organizations are spontaneous, they do not have compulsory binding force on their members, and it is not known how many capitalist nails are buried in them.

Before the October Revolution in Russia, the fighting capacity of the trade unions was very limited, and a large part of them was secretly controlled by the capitalists.

Organising all the workers is not something that can be done overnight. As long as they preemptively establish the government and control the power of the state, the overall situation is decided.

This can be seen from the February Revolution in France, when after the victory of the revolution, the capitalists seized power, and the first thing to do was not to blame the previous government, but to suppress the working class who participated in the revolution.

In the eyes of the capitalists, they have long not known what discipline is.

……

Late at night, the Vienna government was brightly lit, and Prime Minister Metternich was worrying about the current situation, and at this time it was time for at least one interest group to make sacrifices.

Whether to knife the capitalists, or the aristocracy, or the common people, is a difficult choice.

Chancellor Metternich has dominated Austrian politics for more than 20 years, and is inevitably bound by rules, otherwise he would not have had a headache.

The Paris Revolution broke out, and Austria was also undercurrent, but unfortunately Prime Minister Metternich was still stuck in the concept of a decade ago, believing that conservative Austria was not the same as open France.

He did not see any danger in Vienna, except for the heightened vigilance in the Italian and Galician regions. In his opinion, even if a revolution broke out, it would break out first elsewhere, such as Hungary.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, judging from the current situation, the opposition will not make concessions this time, and I am afraid that they will plan a large-scale demonstration!" Grand Duke Louis said with a gloomy face

If Prime Minister Metternich had only been removed from office, he would have raised his hands in favor. But to ask the Regency Council to get out of the way and hand over power to the constitutional reformed parliament would be fucking bullshit.

No matter how unhappy Metternich is, at this time, Archduke Louis must stand with him, and everyone's political life is equivalent to being bound.

Prime Minister Metternich sighed, and then said slowly: "Yes, they will not give up until we accept their terms in full, and now the enemy is probably still in tandem, and tomorrow I will encounter an even larger parade!"

Unless we strike first, arrest the ringleader of this incident, order the garrison to enter the city, block all the intersections, and prohibit them from colluding! ”

He is already old, and he does not have the courage of his youth, otherwise he would not hesitate now, and he would have ordered the arrest a long time ago.

"Then arrest people first, if they are allowed to mess around like this, I'm afraid we won't be able to control the situation later!" Archduke Louis said without hesitation

Anyway, this order is to be given by the prime minister, except that it is Metternich who is responsible for the matter, and he is not responsible for it.

Metternich said with a wry smile: "This is only a palliative treatment, and if the domestic economy does not improve, things will continue to happen today."

Abolish serfdom, we need to create a market at this time, even if this market is only on paper, we must restore confidence in the market! ”

Indeed, the announcement of the abolition of serfdom throughout the country at this time can restore the confidence of many people, after all, it can increase their purchasing power by more than 20 million at one time, even though their purchasing power is very small.
