Unable to get everything they wanted in Austria, the Japanese delegation left after some inspection, and a Japanese embassy was added to Vienna.

I have to admire the foresight of the Japanese, who, despite the tinkling of poverty, gritted their teeth and set up embassies in several large European countries.

Prices in Vienna are not low, especially compared to Japan, where housing prices are even more unpleasant. It's not that someone is speculating in real estate, it's the result of spontaneous adjustment of the market.

As Vienna's largest land supplier, and arguably the only one, Franz responsibly says that there is no way to make money in Austria.

Housing prices in Vienna have risen, and the words "the city that never sleeps" are a great contribution. Just because of this name, people who buy houses in Vienna are happy.

There are more people buying houses, and the market is in short supply, so the price will naturally go up. At present, there is no less than 800 Aegis in Vienna, which is directly double the same period last year.

Ordinary housing is not bad, in fact, the most rapid growth is still luxury housing, the higher the grade of housing price growth.

Especially in the aristocratic district, the price of most courtyards has increased by seven or eight times, and the lowest price is also tens of thousands of aegis. Don't be too expensive, no amount of money can buy it without nobility.

In order to save money, the Japanese did not live in the embassy district in Vienna, but chose to buy a few private houses two kilometers away for reconstruction.

This is the practice of smart people, and if you change the place, you will save at least fifty or sixty thousand taels of silver.

Besides, pretending to be poor is still beneficial, and it can reduce the prying eyes of the great powers. If your own strength is not enough, you have to slap your swollen face and become fat, don't you tell everyone to come and grab it?

As for face, Japan has never had such a thing. In this day and age, which European country will look up to them?

In that case, why hold on. From the very beginning, the Japanese were prepared to bow low and do small, and this has been done for decades.

This is also the reason why Japan was able to complete the Meiji Restoration without being interfered by foreign powers. They did so well that no one felt like a threat.

By the time Franz returned to Vienna, the Japanese delegation had already left. This kind of trivial matter is not worthy of his attention, and the officials who stayed behind only mentioned it casually when reporting on their work.

Otherwise, knowing that Ito Hirobumi and others were coming, Franz would have to struggle with whether to wipe them off. It was not about profit, and the memories left over from his previous life were enough to make him make this decision.

Since you don't know, you don't have to worry about it. Ito Hirobumi and others were inspecting the Kingdom of Prussia, and they probably never dreamed of it, and they almost lost their lives.

Although they are diplomatic missions, they are protected by the States. However, there are many storms and pirates at sea, and there are too many accidents that can happen.

Now they are not allies of the British, and before the Meiji Restoration, they were not even qualified to be pawns, and even if an accident happened, no one would care.

Without Franz's intervention, history is back to square one. The Japanese government learned the navy from the British, and the army from Prussia, and "monarchy" was brought back.

As for France and Austria, the maritime countries naturally cannot learn from the continental countries. France and Austria were originally European giants, but they just caught a cold halfway, and now it's as simple as that.

As a dick, the Kingdom of Prussia counterattacked the Russian Empire, and it was the idol of the Japanese, which was so inspirational that it would not work if you didn't learn it.

Learning from Britain was forced out, how can a maritime country mix without a navy? The 19th century was the age of sea power, when all the great powers were charging into the sea.

These vignettes that Franz was ignorant of. Now he was still having a headache with the newly recovered Prussian Saxony and Silesian regions, this time by the Prussians.

The land was successfully delivered, but the population above was gone. The original attempt to limit the development of the Kingdom of Prussia by reducing the number of Juche nations was now only half successful.

The total population of the Kingdom of Prussia has exceeded 20 million, and the population of the main ethnic group plus the Germanic population is about 13.5 million, which is enough to ensure the stability of the country.

In any case, the East Prussian region was emptied, and it was not in vain. Silesia is not without people, and about 60,000 or 70,000 remain.

This was the result of the active intervention of the Vienna government to preserve this part of the population. It's not that the Berlin government is willing to give up, it's mainly that these people don't want to move.

There was always a local plot of inseparability, and no matter what the Prussian government promised, these people just wouldn't move.

There is no psychological obstacle to follow the Habsburg dynasty, and if you don't want to move, you won't move, and with Austria intervening, the Berlin government can't use force, so you can only let it go.

Although the land was transferred to Austria, the property on the land was still owned. It doesn't matter, Franz is not in a hurry at all, it should be the master who is summoned.

Silesia is not developed there, Austria is still Austria. But the owners of the property are different, and if the Silesian region is not developed, many of their possessions will become worthless.

For example, if the land is uncultivated, the grass will soon grow and the warbler will fly, but the tax will still have to be paid.

Another example: if the real estate in the shop or factory cannot be operated normally, the landlord will naturally not get any profit.

What is needed now is for them to calm down before they know how to cooperate in the future. Unless the Berlin government buys these properties and operates them behind the scenes, these people won't last a few days.

The biggest headache for Franz was that the Saxon government proposed to the central government every day that the new Holy Roman Empire should sanction the Kingdom of Prussia.

You know, they spent a lot of money to recover the Prussian Saxony region, which now has tens of thousands of inhabitants, and it will take a lot of investment and immigration to develop this area.

was put on the table, and the Kingdom of Saxony naturally couldn't bear it. If it weren't for the fact that the difference in force between the two sides was too great, Franz suspected that they would have gone straight to it.

Instead of violence, the Kingdom of Saxony retaliated by its own means, for example, by closing the trade route between the two countries and banning the sale of any Prussian goods in Saxony.

This was not enough, they wanted the new Holy Roman Empire to sanction Prussia together. Knowing that this is a lose-lose game, the Saxon people are fearless, just to gamble on it.

Franz naturally had a headache, and there was no point in such sanctions. Even if the new Holy Roman Empire blockaded Prussia, people could get it from Britain and France.

Moreover, after the outbreak of the economic crisis, tariffs between various countries are about to block import and export trade, and the total foreign trade between Prussia and Austria is less than 10 million Aegis, less than one-third of what it was before the economic crisis.

If you can't make policies capriciously, you can't just mess around in order to be angry, and what should you do with enterprises whose interests are damaged? If this leads to an increase in the number of unemployed, the aggravation of social contradictions will outweigh the losses.

What is the urgency to take revenge on Prussia, there is an opportunity in the future. If we are blindly stubborn, we will lose more than we gain if we stiffen people-to-people relations.

There is no way, the Kingdom of Saxony will go with them if it wants to do it itself, this is their right, and Franz is too lazy to interfere.

Every family has a difficult scripture to read, and as long as you compare Franz, you will have a balanced mentality. The British are still in trouble in Ireland and Scotland, the French are asking for trouble, and Austria is good in comparison.

The states below are still peaceful, at least no one is clamoring for independence. It is also understandable that the Kingdom of Saxony is now erupting.

The newly recovered Prussian Saxony region occupies more than four floors of their total area, and there were originally a million people on it, but now there are tens of thousands.

Any country that suddenly loses 30 or 40 percent of its population will also be mad. Saxony was restrained, and only shouted for economic sanctions against Prussia.

……

After pacifying his younger brother, Franz set his sights on the Balkans. Don't think about industry, the French just run this place as a colony, and naturally there is no such lofty thing.

The industries left over from the Ottoman Empire, first in the Near East wars and then in the face of French colonial rule, these industries have long since come to an end.

In a way, that's a good thing. Pure agriculture is obviously easier to rule, and it is difficult for chaotic ideas to spread in the conservative countryside.

Coupled with the credit of the French, many diehards were almost exiled. Although the French left with a lot of hidden dangers, they didn't have a chance to play out.

Franz's visit to the Balkans was not a sightseeing tour, but a pretext for major surgery in the region.

When the emperor personally inspected the locality, it was natural to strengthen safety protection, and it was natural for the local government to check the potential safety hazards, and this investigation problem was exposed.

According to Austrian law, there are too many people who break the law and commit crimes, and no matter how big or small, they must be held accountable.

Why did you have to wait so long to get the French Balkans, isn't it for them to commit crimes?

There was a huge legal difference between French colonial rule and Austrian direct rule. There are many things that can be done in the French colonies, but in Austria it is illegal.

Anyone who violates the law must be prosecuted, so anyone who is caught must face severe punishment by the law. There is no such thing as the law not holding the public accountable, and a village will be held accountable for committing a crime, and a town will be held accountable for a crime.

The nails left by the French were undoubtedly pulled out. The local ruling class has basically changed.

Acting according to the law, no one can say anything. No matter how many cases are implicated, the dignity of the law must be maintained, and it is absolutely not a suppression of dissent.

With the exception of political prisoners who spread illegal ideas, who are subject to life hard labor, the rest are dealt with according to the size of the crime. This time he was not directly exiled, but stayed to fight for the improvement of transportation in the Balkans.

Franz was still very hesitant to develop the newly acquired French Balkan Peninsula. Austria has limited energy, and it always feels a bit of a loss to devote resources to the Balkans.

The newly acquired territory of the French Balkans was not small, including Albania, Kosovo, Macedonia, half of Greece, and half of Istanbul.

However, the population is less than 3 million, and the young labor force is even smaller. This is the pot of the French, and the Paris government realized very early that the French Balkan Peninsula was connected to the Russian and Austrian mainland, and it could not hold it militarily at all, so naturally it would not develop it with care.

As a colony, naturally do not want to have any good treatment, in order to develop the African continent, the French have not been less immigrated from the Balkan Peninsula. Compared to the indigenous people of Africa, the Balkans are also a quality labourer.

The Suez Canal was successfully opened, and the Balkan people also contributed, which is also the main reason for the shortage of labor in the Balkan Peninsula.

Due to Franz's butterfly effect, the amount of work increased, and the demand for labor naturally increased. Egypt is only a small country with a population of 3.5 million and simply cannot provide enough labor.

In the later stages, the huge number of casualties exceeded the limits of Egypt's tolerance, and France and Austria had to find a way to do it colony.

Austria contributed 400,000 laborers, and the Balkans also contributed 200,000 laborers.

Besides, just because the project is complete doesn't mean they can go home. Especially after the French sold the Balkans to Austria, they naturally did not send ships to send people back, and Austria did not send ships to pick them up in time.

Soon after the outbreak of the Franco-Egyptian War, the surviving laborers were stranded in Egypt. Due to the loss of food caretakers, the whereabouts of these laborers are now unknown, and no one knows how many are left.

The Austrian garrison in the Sinai Peninsula is now only to protect the security of the Suez Canal. If someone goes to the canal to ask for help, then they will still arrange for a boat to bring it back.

Ten thousand people were sent back one after another, perhaps frightened by the cruelty of the war, or the edges and corners were smoothed on the construction site, these people are quite peaceful.

Of course, the life-saving grace also played a role in making them identify with Austrian rule. After all, only by experiencing the cruelty of the world can we know the importance of a strong motherland.

There is not enough labor, which makes it much more expensive to develop the Balkan Peninsula. For the sake of long-term peace and stability, Franz did not dare to bring in foreign population.

There is also the rise of the Russian Empire in the future, and if it wants to enter the Mediterranean, it is necessary to take the Dardanelles.

In case it is easier to fool the tsar you meet, and exchange the Balkan Peninsula with them for land around Ukraine, it will be a big profit.

After all, the Ukrainian regions on the Russian-Austrian border are all black soil, and it is a big profit to take a piece of it casually. Anyway, the Russians don't pay attention to these areas, and the possibility of fooling them is very high.

Since it is to be traded, then investment and development is wasteful, and it is enough to maintain local stability.

Of course, there is also a precondition for this, that is, in the next round of the Eastern European War, Russia wins the two countries and recovers the Ukrainian regions occupied by Poland.

Otherwise, it would have been difficult for the tsarist government to have ambitions for access to the Mediterranean. Having experienced a social beating, it is impossible for the Russians not to learn their lesson.
