Franz was right, and the Greeks did not know what to do when they captured Ludwig, the would-be king.

There was also a split within the rebels, with some advocating a republic in an attempt to break free from Austrian control over Greece.

Others advocated the establishment of Ludwig on the throne on the grounds that Prince Ludwig was the rightful heir to the throne.

Before Austria could intervene, the republicans and royalists were about to start fighting. The republicans are mostly capitalists, and there are a group of second-class teenagers, and the royalists are naturally aristocrats.

As for the large number of peasants and workers, they are all spectators, and this coup d'état has nothing to do with them, and they do not need to take a stand.

Before the coup d'état, they were able to cooperate in order to oust Otto I's Bavarian cabinet and seize the supreme power of government.

Now that the goal has been achieved, the two factions are on the bar for the sake of power. The aristocracy, which currently controlled most of the army, had the upper hand, and Ludwig might have been able to ascend to the throne without Austrian troops.

Looking at the information in his hand, Franz didn't know what to say. The revolution that is said to be good is coming, why is it ending before it has begun?

With a little inference, Franz knew that someone was doing something. Greece itself is a small country, and the current Greece is less than half of the later Greece.

With a small territory, scarce resources, and a population of only a million at most, how can capitalists develop and grow?

Not having enough strength and a great location is not a good thing. From the beginning of its independence, Greece has always been heavily influenced by the Great Powers.

Heavy debts have kept the Greek government in a state of making ends meet for a long time, and it has to step up its plundering of the people.

Greece's home market has long been a dumping ground for the goods of the great powers. National capital has always been hovering on the verge of life and death, perhaps all of them combined, and there is no net worth of a big capitalist.

The economic strength of the Greek aristocracy was not very good, at least they still had an army in their hands. Now the capitalists have also formed an army, albeit at a disadvantage, which also exceeds their strength.

Franz did not think that the capitalists could destroy their country. Even if a few people are morally virtuous, it is not possible for the whole group to be like this.

Politics is complex, and what you see is not necessarily true. Austria can make smoke bombs to fool people, and other countries are doing the same.

Whose hand was it was in the sudden turmoil in Greece, Franz could not make an accurate judgment without exact information.

A wave has not settled, and another wave has risen.

Without waiting for the Greek problem to be resolved, Bulgaria was in chaos again. On September 11, 1873, the Bulgarian Revolutionary League launched an anti-Russian uprising in Sofia.

……

Bulgaria, this is a country of tragedy. The Ottoman Empire was finally driven out, and another Russian Empire came.

Thanks to the efforts of the bureaucrats of the tsarist government, the pro-Russian faction of the year has now basically become anti-Russian.

Looking at the independence of Poland and the three Central Asian countries, the Bulgarians said that it was definitely impossible not to be moved. It's just that the Russians attached great importance to Constantinople and stationed heavy troops here, which dispelled many people's thoughts of independence.

In any case, the rule of the Russians was still stronger than that of the Ottoman Empire, the exploitation was not so ruthless, and the two sides were almost the same in the cultural field and religious beliefs.

If the tsarist government had the heart to promote national integration, it would have been a generational affair. But the government of St. Petersburg did not have such a mind, otherwise the Russian Empire would not have so many nationalities.

No morning sun lasts a whole day.

The once-tyrannical Russian Empire finally fell. Since the defeat of the Russians in the Russo-Prussian War, the idea of national independence has taken root in Bulgaria.

The agricultural crisis is another catalyst. Bulgaria's industry is just getting started, and its economy is supported by agriculture. Farmers in Bulgaria suffered heavy losses last year because of the collapse in international food prices.

Seeing that the autumn harvest is approaching, no one cares about food, which further increases the panic of the people.

Now there is a gossip that the tsarist government has banned the collection of grain in Bulgaria in order to protect the export of local grain.

There are still many people who are willing to believe this kind of obviously false news. Ordinary people don't have that much knowledge, they just see that no one has come to collect grain this year.

Not only Bulgaria, but almost all of continental Europe, the grain capitalists have slowed down. It's another bumper year, and no one knows how much the price of grain will fall, so what if you lose money if you buy it early?

You must know that last year's price volatility was violent, and many people lost a lot of money. Before the grain is purchased, the losses can be passed on to the peasants, and if they buy it, they can only carry it on their own backs.

In order to protect their own interests, the capitalists chose to wait and see which direction of the wind came first. After the market is stable, grain will be collected from the private sector.

Anyway, there are still a lot of stocks, and I can't digest them for a while, so I don't have to worry about the food being robbed by others.

The Russians have not done nothing all these years, and with the removal of the confinement on their heads, education in Bulgaria has flourished.

The new intellectuals were the first to be influenced by nationalism, and they soon forgot the credit of the Russians for driving out the Ottomans, and now only remembered the enslavement of the Russians.

Of course, the tsarist government would certainly not recognize the enslavement of Bulgaria, since Alexander II's reforms did not discriminate, and many Bulgarian peasants were beneficiaries. It's just that before this wave of dividends could be felt, the agricultural crisis broke out first.

In July 1869, the Bulgarian Revolutionary League was secretly established in Greece. In order to drive out the Russians, almost all Bulgarian revolutionary groups joined the alliance.

Many people could not have imagined that the real reason for the emergence of the alliance was actually the reform of the Russian agrarian system.

The revolutionaries feared that the tsarist government had bought off the peasants and that the revolutionary cause would be doomed. Therefore, the reforms carried out by the tsarist government in Bulgaria were resisted by both conservatives and revolutionary parties.

In the process, the two sides converged, and the revolutionary forces began to grow.

……

After reading the basic information on Bulgaria, Franz fell into deep thought. The uprising came by a bit of a coincidence, and just after the decision was made to join forces with the Russians, revolutions took place in Greece and Bulgaria almost simultaneously.

To say that there is no connection behind this is a complete coincidence, and the killing of Franz does not believe it. He prefers to believe that it was premeditated, that someone wanted to target Russia and Austria, or rather, to stall for time.

The Greek revolution was easy to solve, even if it was by force, it was nothing more than a matter of one or two divisions, and it was only a minor problem for Austria.

The trouble is only international pressure, and for no reason Austria cannot casually send troops to interfere in the internal affairs of Greece, which is related to the international image.

When a bitch wants to set up an archway, this is not a joke, but it is obviously needed. Any country is packaging itself, it is nothing more than a question of how much resources are invested.

In the case of insufficient interests, everyone is still willing to maintain a good international image. Even Britain and France are no exception, and they have to find an excuse for overseas expansion, and few of them are reckless and reckless.

This little problem is not difficult for Franz, and it is also possible to change the agent. For example, the current Greek royalists are a good partner to work with.

As long as they have Ludwig in place and secure Austria's interests, they would not be bad if they were in charge of Greece.

Bulgaria is in trouble, the Bulgarian guerrillas showed good combat effectiveness during the Near East War, although this unit is old, but the people are still alive, and the physical strength may not be able to keep up with the charge, and it is not a big problem to impart experience and command operations.

Franz was very skeptical that the Russians would be able to put out the rebellion. It's not that the Russians are not strong, the main thing is that the tsarist government has no money.

"Is the mastermind locked in?"

Intelligence chief Tyranny: "The preliminary judgment is that the Ottoman Empire, whether it is a coup d'état in Greece or an uprising in Bulgaria, the weapons are sponsored by Ottoman merchants. ”

The Ottomans were going to fight back, and Franz was not surprised. It's going to hit the door, can you still make people fight back?

Who knows the truth? There were still some Greeks and Bulgarians in the Ottoman Empire, and these "Ottoman merchants" were all Greek and Bulgarian patriotic merchants on the surface.

Even if the news leaked, only the Sudanese government did not admit it, or insisted that these people were not Ottomans, and it would be difficult for Austria to use this as an excuse.

Nationality is too easy to get in this era, which international businessman doesn't have a few nationalities? Everyone needs which one to use, and without the Internet, it is difficult to find out even if multiple nationalities are not recognized.

Since we want to do something, we naturally have to clean up the whole thing, maybe we will investigate in depth, these people still have Austrian nationality.

Behind the scenes, Franz sees that everyone is suspicious. On the surface, the Ottoman Empire is the most suspicious, the Russians are the least suspicious, and the British, French and Austrian are about the same.

After a moment's hesitation, Franz said, "Forget it, just keep staring." If the mastermind behind the scenes wants to continue to act, sooner or later he will be exposed; If we had stopped there, the results would not have been too bad now. ”

There is no way, the Greeks and Bulgarians are fools, and they don't know who the supporters behind the scenes are, so they do it in a daze.

How can this be traced? Do not think that these actions must be planned by the government, and the bureaucrats, capitalists, and aristocrats may also be the real culprits.

In terms of motives, there are too many suspicions.

For example, in order to buy time to prepare for war, the Sudanese government provoked an incident and distracted Russia and Austria;

Or maybe Britain and France wanted to help the Ottoman Empire;

It is also possible that Austria did it, in order to strike at the Russians and gain an advantage in the distribution of interests, this can be crossed out, and Franz can prove that he did not do it.

In terms of interests, of course, domestic arms dealers, agricultural capitalists, and big aristocrats are all suspicious.

It's just a batch of arms, which is very difficult for people who don't have channels, but for people with connections, it's just a matter of tens of thousands of Aegis.

No matter how high the price of arms is on the international market, in fact, ordinary guns and ammunition are really worthless. A second-hand rifle can be bought with only three or four Aegis, and it can be cheaper in wholesale.

Arms dealers, agricultural capitalists, and the great aristocrats who produce food are all beneficiaries of the current chaos. Not to mention anything else, this year's grain prices are probably stable.

It is not that the war consumed much food, nor that Bulgaria and Greece were important grain exporters, but mainly to give the market confidence.

The main reason for the collapse of international grain prices is that the market has lost confidence, otherwise, the capitalists will continue to maintain the stability of grain prices through artificial speculation.

What about overcapacity, as long as the trading market is controlled, it can also send a signal to the outside world that supply exceeds demand.

As long as there is a reasonable excuse to convince everyone that there will be a shortage of grain in the market this year, we can fool enough speculators into coming in and artificially raise the price of grain.

If nothing else, just look at the news published in the newspaper. From the very beginning of the Vienna government's call for production cuts, the media continued to sing praises as if the agricultural crisis had passed.

The so-called experts and scholars are overexaggerating the role of the "Land Fallow Law" in the European newspapers, and some people are even unashamedly announcing that in 1873 Europe's grain production capacity will drop by 20 percent.

This is all a trick played by interest groups, and no one knows how many people can be fooled. Anyway, you can't pit smart people, so you really can't go deep into the countryside to investigate, and you will understand everything.

Speculators who don't know what they do in market research will be killed sooner or later, and there is no essential difference between dying a day earlier and dying a day later.

After the news of the coup d'état in Greece and the outbreak of the revolution in Bulgaria spread, on September 13, 1873, the price of grain rose by 5 percent on the London futures market on the same day.
