Vienna Palace, after listening to the news brought by his younger brother, Franz said expressionlessly: "Okay, the cabinet will deal with the Belgian problem, so don't continue to mix."

Now that the franc has hit rock bottom, let your government-in-exile pay off the French debts first, and take the opportunity to make a wave of presence! ”

Without expectations, there is no disappointment. Having never had faith in Massimiliano from the start, Franz was not disappointed.

In a sense, Massimiliano performed much better than Franz expected. Except for the more serious idealism, the performance in other aspects is very good.

After so many years of development,

Massimiliano's Mexican Restoration Organization has also grown to the next level, especially among European students.

In these years, the European continent was originally the stronghold of the monarchy, and all governments instilled the idea of loyalty and patriotism, and Massimiliano mixed in this, and the governments of various countries were also happy to see it.

Regardless of ability, Massimiliano is still blameless in terms of personal morality. Compared with the warlords in Mexico, his exiled emperor does not leave a good impression on everyone.

Franz did not help less in this regard, and he used public and private weapons more than once to whitewash Massimiliano, the exiled emperor.

The Mexican students who were able to study in Europe were not ordinary families, and as these people returned to their home countries, the tentacles of the restoration organization also returned to Mexico.

If the current situation continues, and with the support of the Vienna government, there may be a real possibility of Massimiliano's restoration one day.

Of course, this is only possible. Neither the British, nor the Americans, wanted to see the Habsburg flag reappear in Mexico.

The most important thing is that Massimiliano is incompetent, and there is no talent in the restoration organization to cope with the complex situation in Mexico, and the restoration is to push him to hell.

Not to mention anything else, even such a good opportunity for the depreciation of the franc was not discovered, and Franz had to remind him personally to know what kind of goods Massimiliano's restoration organization was.

"Depreciation of the franc - repayment of debts - brushing up the sense of existence!"

Awakened, Massimiliano looked at Franz in disbelief, this kind of operation was really beyond his understanding.

There is no doubt that this is a rogue in the open. But the French can't say anything yet, the depreciation of the franc is their own toss, and there is no relationship with Massimiliano by a franc.

According to the astonishing value of the franc now, you only need to throw an aegis to the bank, and you can generously say: "Exchange it into francs to pay off the debt, and you don't need to find the rest." ”

One Aegis for a bank, no more than a hundred Aegis, and the debts owed by the Mexican Empire to the French could be paid off.

Of course, if there is a condition attached to the loan contract: it is settled according to gold, then you can't play like that.

However, this kind of thing is almost impossible to happen. Thirty years ago, who knew that France would have ended up like this?

Under normal circumstances, even if the franc depreciates, it is only a short-term fluctuation, and the depreciation is not too large. With the ultra-high interest rate of the loan, even if the currency value fluctuates, it is still blood earnings.

However, those who have confidence in their own countries will not raise the issue of changes in the value of the currency when issuing international loans. This is common all over the world, including loans issued by the Holy Roman Empire, which are settled in Aegis, and few people mention the question of currency value.

Regardless of whether the franc is depreciated or not, the spirit of the government-in-exile to repay its debts on its own initiative is worth mentioning. The depreciation of the franc can only cause bad luck for the countrymen.

The European media will certainly not let go of this eye-catching opportunity to increase newspaper sales. If you don't need a hundred Aegis, you can search for it, and there is no reason to give up such a good thing.

"Okay, I'll arrange it right away!"

Softness of ears is Massimiliano's most obvious weakness, but obedience is his greatest strength. Basically, he will do what Franz tells him to do.

If it weren't for this advantage, Franz would have given up a long time ago, let alone sponsoring a restoration fund every year.

In fact, the funds for rehabilitation were not available from the beginning. At the beginning, it was all about Massimiliano's own fortune and the support of his parents; It wasn't until the late 19th century, when Franz's pockets gradually bulged, that this "huge" sponsorship was born.

"Hmm!"

"There is no rush to the question of restoration, what you need most at the moment is to find talent. Governing a country is never the emperor's business, you need a team to help.

The Mexican Restoration Organization is too loose, and its members are even more mixed, and there is almost no climate to take on the responsibility of governing a country.

Especially in a country like Mexico, which has complex national conditions, the requirements for government officials are even higher. This kind of thing can't be rushed, you can only find it slowly.

In a sense, discovering and appointing talents is the most important skill that a monarch needs to master. You're still not doing enough in this area. ”

Although there was little hope for Massimiliano's restoration, Franz certainly wouldn't have said that in the presence of his brother himself.

People can't live without ideals, and no matter whether they are achieved in the end or not, they must have a goal to strive for. If it were really true, it is estimated that Massimiliano would have been hit and depressed a long time ago.

Telling nonsense is also an art, and Franz is not good at it. On the issue of restoration, Franz never gave a positive assessment, but only pointed out the problem at the right time.

If it weren't for the remote command of him, the military division behind the scenes, and Massimiliano himself was willing to accept the opinions with an open mind, according to the original method of playing, it is estimated that the Mexican restoration organization would have been disbanded long ago.

An exiled emperor, if he doesn't have some means, why should he let his family sell his life to you?

No matter how you give advice, the natural law of "things gather by like, people by groups" has not changed.

An idealistic leader who gathers a group of idealistic brothers. It's okay for such an organization to engage in propaganda, but if they are really allowed to govern the country, it will be nonsense.

……

At the very time of Leopold II's trip to Vienna, the situation in Paris changed again.

The coalition of nobles led by Carlos besieged the city of Paris from all sides, and in order to reduce casualties, or to say that there were people dragging their feet inside, they were forced to change to a long-term siege.

No matter how well the new government in Paris has done, the essence of "people are iron and rice is steel, and if you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry and panic".

Foreign grain cannot be imported, and Paris, which is supported only by grain stocks, obviously cannot last long.

However, the revolutionary upsurge envisaged by the new government did not break out with the victory of the Paris Revolution; On the contrary, because of the news of the Bourbon restoration, the revolution was underestimated.

It's not that the French people don't have revolutionary enthusiasm anymore, it's that they are too hungry and they don't have the strength to make a revolution.

Out of support for the Bourbons, the European Union made a decision to import all supplies from France and trade only with the Bourbons.

To put it simply, wherever a revolution breaks out, there is an economic blockade. Don't say that it was the aristocracy that was already opposed to the revolution, even the intellectuals, the middle class, and the workers who were originally inclined to the revolution...... Now they have also changed their positions.

It doesn't matter at all whether it's voluntary or not. Anyway, as long as everyone knows that they will go hungry if they follow the revolutionary party, no one will want to go.

Those on the outside have a choice, but those trapped inside Paris don't. If you want to go out of the city and surrender, you must first pass the minefield.

These are all sponsored by international caring people free of charge, and all of them come from the unsalable products left over from the European War. In order to avoid being wasted after expiration, it was stuffed by the allies to the aristocratic coalition.

In order to avoid a sneak attack by the defenders in the city, King Carlos, who was about to ascend the throne, decided to adopt the tactic of lying down and winning, and ordered a huge minefield to be laid outside the city of Paris.

There is no need to worry about safety, but the people inside can't get out, and the people outside can't get in.

Now, though, they don't need to go in either. When the city ran out of food, the war was over. Such a tactic, except for a little longer delayed, has almost no drawbacks.

As for the life and death of the people in the city, they are all defined as mobs, and the nobles naturally don't care.

Food reserves were insufficient, and in order to sustain them for a longer period of time, the new government had to adopt a limited supply system. At the beginning, it was okay, there were leaders taking the lead, everyone was on the same standard, and no one had any opinions.

Over time, the situation has changed. Black sheep exist everywhere, and the new government in Paris is no exception.

Driven by profits, the next underground black market has quietly appeared, and as long as there is money, there is almost no limit. Of course, this money does not refer to francs, and the ones that can be traded are all hard currencies, such as gold, silver, jewelry, pounds, Aegis, etc.

Naturally, the grain that went to the black market did not appear out of thin air, and the new government still managed the granaries very strictly, and the bureaucrats could only withhold the rations of ordinary people if they wanted to get rich.

People's greed is endless, at the beginning of the deduction of two or three points, seeing that the people did not react big, the share of deduction will become more and more, until it exceeds everyone's limit......
