After figuring out the ins and outs of the matter, Franz was relieved to see the excitement. Deep down there was already a moment of silence for the Bulgarian Revolutionary Party, which at the wrong point in time had launched a wrong uprising.

At another time, perhaps the tsarist government would have compromised. For example, during the Russo-Prussian War a few years ago, taking the opportunity to launch an uprising, and then mixing with the victors, it would have been independent and successful.

Unfortunately, the Russian Empire was too powerful at that time and the people at home were stable, and everyone did not think that they could overthrow the rule of the Russians.

It was only after the success of Polish independence that the development of the national independence movement in Russia was stimulated. Bulgarian nationalism has only spread in recent years, and the agrarian crisis has amplified the contradictions.

The foundations for the revolution are in place, but it is still not a good time. Single-handedly taking on the Russian Empire in a corner is not a wise choice no matter how you look at it.

Even if it is to wait for the outbreak of war in the Near East, it will be better than at this point in time, and at least one more ally.

The British, who secretly supported the Bulgarian Revolution, did not come forward at all, and the Franco-Austrian capital only achieved their goal by igniting the flames of war purely for profit.

Regardless of whether this excuse will be held back, there are still many fools who believe it anyway. Seeing that a group of speculators thought that the price of grain was going to rise, and frantically joined the ranks of speculating on the price of grain, Franz silently said: "You can't live if you do your own evil!" ”

If you can't find the pick-up man to withdraw in time, the speculators who join in will be counted as one, and no one should try to escape.

It was not easy to trap them in, how could the consortium let them go? Stepping on the thief ship, these people can only go on hard, trying to preach that "food prices will rise and the influence of the Balkan situation will be expanded."

Recently, there has been a lot of good news, such as floods in Argentina and locust plagues in India......

There is a picture and the truth, that is, no one tells them that even if the grain harvest in these countries is lost, it is about European birds.

At this time, Argentina was not a big exporter of grain, and it did not export grain to Europe at all, nor did it import grain from Europe. Even if some areas are affected by disasters and rely on bumper harvests in other areas, there will be no shortage of food.

Not to mention India, where there is no need for food shortage, can they afford it? With such a large population, it doesn't hurt to starve a few to death, don't expect relief from the British.

In short, any part of the world that is affected by a disaster will appear in European newspapers. This will really be "show talent without going out, you will know the world", everyone suddenly found that the world is so big, and there are so many countries.

It is true that there is a "food shortage" in the world as a whole, but this does not affect the outbreak of the agricultural crisis. People who lack food are poor ghosts, and they can't afford to buy food at all, and no matter how much grain production is in excess of grain on the international market, it has nothing to do with them.

Now it's not popular to make chicken soup, and there's not even a living environment. If you think that this is a big market that no one pays attention to, and you stupidly plunge into it and develop it, no matter how big the family business is, you can go bankrupt.

Early-stage investment does not make money to cultivate the market, some persist for a few years, and some last for more than ten years, Franz has not heard of a stupid wait for hundreds of years.

The capitalists are not stupid, if they could do it, they would have done it a long time ago. For example, Africans don't wear shoes, and they run to sell chicken soup jokes about shoes.

No one studies whether the locals buy it or not, and even if they buy it in these years, it is useless, and the colonists are used to robbing it.

Although killing sheep is not as profitable as long-term sheep shearing, if you don't kill sheep, you will starve to death now, what else to consider later?

The 19th century was the darkest and most cruel era, everyone was fighting for survival, and only by surviving could there be a future, and if you look too far, you will become a martyr.

After a series of bombings, many people have come to the conclusion that the world is short of food, and there has been a rush to buy food in many areas.

This has had little impact on Austria, and although there are fears of rising food prices, no one expects that Austria will be short of food. If the world's number one exporter of agricultural products is short of food, how can anything else live?

After stabilizing the prices in the domestic grain retail market, Franz pretended not to see the changes in the stock market and futures market.

If you want to speculate, you have to bear the consequences. These areas are essentially a gamble. It's all turned into wool, and you have to run away?

In order to reduce the number of people affected, at the end of 1873 the Austrian securities regulator raised the capital entry threshold and excluded small transactions with a capital of less than 500 Aegis.

The power of capital is huge, and the grain market, which was originally overcapacity, has forced them to create a situation of shortage through capital operation.

This is a good thing for food-exporting countries, at least this year's grain has been taken over. It doesn't matter when the international grain market collapses.

In a way, the tsarist government should be thankful for the people behind the scenes, who have allowed them to survive this year's financial crisis. Although the export price of grain was not high, it was finally sold.

The question of the future will be discussed in the future, and besides, Austria is not trying to reduce production, and the market may return to normal in a few years.

Moreover, the war is also a big consumer of food, and if the Ottoman Empire is beaten up, there must be no need to worry about overcapacity in the next two or three years.

Without any hesitation, the Russian army, which was originally intended to be used in the Ottoman theater, was now committed to the Bulgarian battlefield by the tsarist government.

The vigorous Bulgarian uprising, which lasted for more than two months, fell into a trough, and the rebel army was forced to abandon the city and move to the mountains to continue fighting.

The Russo-Austrian alliance was not over, and despite his desire to expel the Russians from the Balkans, Franz did not support the Bulgarian insurgents.

Of course, whether there is arms smuggling or not, it doesn't matter to him. In any case, arms smuggling dealers have no human rights, and if the Russians have the ability to catch them, they will deal with them themselves, and the Vienna government will not bother with them.

Vienna Palace, Foreign Secretary Wessenberg: "Your Majesty, the special envoy of the Government of the Sudan has arrived. They want to negotiate a solution to the dispute between the two countries. ”

Talking if you can't win, this is the habit of the European continent. Especially for the great powers, the destruction of the country is simply unrealistic, otherwise the annexation of the Italian region by Napoleon III would not have caused an uproar.

Is there anything to talk about the Habsburgs and the Ottoman Empire? Judging from the family hatred, there is naturally no need to negotiate, and both sides are eager to kill each other.

In terms of interests, it is natural to talk about it first. Franz was not a mercenary master, so he decided: "Don't talk about it!" ”

Strategically it was necessary to create an enemy for Austria, who else but the Ottoman Empire was suitable? The European continent is a mess, and once you rush in, you have to be trapped.

How good it is to beat the Ottoman Empire, to attack a notorious enemy, you can stand on the commanding heights of public opinion, and you don't have to worry about being pushed back.

The Ottoman Empire, which was in decline, was still completely abused by Austria even if it completed the modernization reform. This is determined by comprehensive national strength, and there is no possibility of making up for it.

If Britain and France were willing to give blood to the Ottoman Empire, Franz welcomed it, which meant that the two sides could be entangled for a longer time.

It is better to make the European countries think that Austria is stuck in the quagmire of war and cannot extricate itself, so that everyone can tear it apart with confidence. Lest his eyes be fixed on Vienna, Franz did not dare to play a small move.

"Send someone to urge the Russians to speed up their preparations for war, and this war must be launched in March. If it really doesn't work, just let them send soldiers, and we can provide everything else. ”

The strategic supplies promised by Franz will not be discounted. The main reason for pulling the Russians together is to share international pressure and create opportunities for the Prussians by the way.

If Russia and Austria are not restrained, how can the Berlin government have the audacity to attack Poland? Of course, Wilhelm I certainly wouldn't have been as extreme as Napoleon III, and Franz guessed that he would most likely succeed to the Polish throne first.

There are precedents for re-monarchies in Europe, including Sweden and Norway, which are co-monarchs, and this kind of thing is within the acceptable range. It is much easier to take control of the Polish government first, and then slowly realize the annexation plan.

Franz used the same plan to annex the Kingdom of Bavaria, and now Bavaria is left with a name, essentially an Austrian province.

Not only the Kingdom of Bavaria, but also several other states did not run away. Whether they are recognized or not, they are only equivalent to a highly autonomous region. The interests of all parties are linked to Austria, and the Austrian government is the central government of the HRE.

This was done by the Kingdom of Prussia. However, because of religion and legal system, the Berlin government did not have enough control over the South German region, and Bavaria was still self-contained.

If conditions permit, it is estimated that Napoleon III would not have directly annexed Italy, but would have adopted a co-monarchy system. Unfortunately, this set doesn't work in Italy.

Who knows what the Italian emperor was? How can something that does not exist, a throne created because of the needs of reality, be recognized?

Without a legal basis, the co-monarchy system will definitely not be able to turn around. Napoleon III was hard-headed, and it is not difficult to understand.

Foreign Secretary Wesenberg: "The Russians don't have much of a problem, even if they are not ready, they can let the tsarist government declare war first."

However, it was necessary to provoke a reason for war, and the Russians proposed to use the Ottoman Empire's support for the Bulgarian rebellion as an excuse, or to expel the infidels and raise the banner of jihad. ”

As soon as the "holy war" thing came out, Franz was not good. If it's just a secular war, why bother with the banner of religion?

It's a morale-boosting thing, but it's not easy to control the pace! In case the morale of the army on the front line is bursting, and the Ottoman Empire will be killed in one go, how can it be stopped?

The French could not be expected to reorganize the "Blasphemous Alliance" with the Ottoman Empire in order to save the Ottomans, who were dying.

"No, religious wars must not be fought, whatever the Russians use as an excuse, we will use revenge as a reason."

Thinking back then, when the Ottomans besieged Vienna and almost took the Habsburg nest, how could such a blood feud not be avenged?

No, it seems that the battle of 1683 was still the savior of Da Bobo, and it doesn't seem very good to publicize it.

Austria and Poland still have unresolved territorial disputes, and the grievances and hatreds between the two sides are enough to make ten TV series, and it seems too early to talk about Austria-Poland friendship.

Thinking of this, Franz didn't say anything about the rest of the words, and simply let the government supplement it itself. Anyway, the hatred between the two countries has lasted for hundreds of years, and there is an excuse to look through the history books.

Especially the new history book compiled by the Vienna government, which is really as deep as the sea. For example, the Balkan people are the descendants of the people captured by the Ottoman Empire when they attacked Austria and then slowly multiplied.

The local natives have long been slaughtered by the brutal Ottomans. The remaining small part either took refuge with the Ottomans as traitors, or hid in the deep mountains and forests, such as Montenegro.

Whether others believe it or not, the Vienna government believes it anyway. There is absolutely evidence, real people and real things are well documented. It's just that the proportion is a little small, and if you check the ancestry, there is always a percentage of one percent.

No, after so many years of immigration, this proportion has increased considerably, in many places it has exceeded 50 percent, and the credibility has increased considerably.

When the genes can be checked in the future, it will be proven that the ancestors of the local people are indeed from the German region.

In this regard, the history books of the Principality of Montenegro can also testify that Franz used the material aid of 100 Aegis to get the Montenegrin government to cooperate.

There will be more evidence in the future, in short, Austria and the Ottoman Empire have a blood feud, and if you don't take revenge on the Ottoman Empire, then you will be sorry for your ancestors.
