Holy Roman Empire

Chapter 1004: Dangerous

Views:

One wave has not settled, and another has risen. Just as Japan fell into the "Misao Movement", the situation in Europe also deteriorated rapidly, and the voice of revolution resounded on the European continent again.

Different from the previous revolutions, this time it was no longer France. Perhaps the shadow left by the former revolutionary government is too terrifying, and the people of Paris have been quite calm recently.

It is also not the Belgian and Italian states that Franz cares about most. Although these countries are in the most serious crisis, they can't bear the hatred of the French!

From the government to the people, the responsibility for the economic crisis in the country is attributed to the French invasion. Now is the time when the Chinese people are most united.

In addition, the Vienna government provided them with timely assistance, and with the relief food distributed by the government, ordinary people could barely eat half full, and the social order was stabilized.

Spain, which was caught in the Philippine war and could not extricate itself, would definitely not be able to escape. However, they are not the birthplace of the crisis. The first to fire the first shot of the revolution was Bulgaria, which no one thought of.

The gate of the city caught fire, which affected Chiyu.

Bulgaria is the pond fish that has been affected. As the raw material of high-end cosmetics, rose essential oil with limited production capacity has always been in short supply in the international market, and Bulgarian rose essential oil, the king of rose essential oil, is the object of everyone's pursuit.

It's the season of roses blooming again. At this time in previous years, the production capacity of the factory has been booked out long ago, but the production capacity is limited.

This year's situation is special. Affected by the economic crisis, the volume and price of rose essential oil in the international market have fallen. In the season of rose essential oil purchase, very few foreign businessmen arrived in Bulgaria.

Even with this limited order, the purchase price has been very low, less than one-fifth of previous years.

The life of processing enterprises is not easy, and people in the entire industry chain should not think about it. The farmers who make a living growing roses and the workers who pick and process them are all in a difficult situation.

The suffering of the people is invisible to the officials of the tsarist government. Not only is there no relief, but the tax that should be collected is not less than a cent.

No money is no money, no matter how much you squeeze, you still have no money. The Bulgarian peasants and workers, who were driven to a dead end, launched an anti-tax campaign.

Under the rule of the tsarist government, the life of the Bulgarian people was not very easy, and the anti-tax movement quickly gained support from all walks of life.

On June 26, 1894, hundreds of thousands of Bulgarians staged demonstrations at the same time, petitioning the tsarist government, demanding tax relief and granting Bulgarian national autonomy.

It is a pity that the Bulgarian people have encountered a governor who wants to cover up. For the sake of his official title, Aristotle told the people that it would take time to report the decision of the tsarist government.

After the people retreated, Governor Aristotle immediately turned his face and sent people to arrest the leader who organized the demonstration and petition overnight.

Needless to say, the deceived Bulgarian people were thoroughly enraged, and the fire of revolution was ignited.

The revolution was contagious, and the Bulgarian people launched a national uprising, which directly stimulated the Poles who also wanted to get rid of Russian rule.

On July 11, 1894, the Polish Independence Organization launched an uprising in the Warsaw region. Before the unprepared Russian army could resist, Warsaw fell.

Once the valve is opened, it is difficult to close it again.

On July 16, 1894, the Portuguese republicans launched an uprising in Porto; on July 21, the Greater Greek National Union launched an uprising in the Peloponnese; on August 2, a workers' uprising broke out in Bilbao, Spain; On the 13th, the Irish people launched a national independence movement in Cavan...

In just two months, more than 20 uprisings broke out on the European continent, affecting the seven countries of Russia, Spain, England, Portugal, Greece, France, and Shinra.

Yes, the Holy Roman Empire did not escape the onslaught of revolutionary waves. There is no way, the forest is big and there are all kinds of birds, and it is normal for some strange things to happen in Bangguo.

At the end of July, a bourgeois revolutionary movement broke out in the Principality of Nassau, which could hardly be found on the map. Then, on the same day, it was suppressed by Adolf, Duke of Nassau, with his guards.

As long as the end result is good, Franz doesn't care and doesn't want to know what happened in the middle.

Open the map of Europe and plant a small flag in the area where the revolution broke out, as if the flame of the revolution is already burning vigorously in the European continent, and it is about to start a prairie prairie.

Of course, these are all illusions. Although revolutions broke out many times and affected a wide range, there were not many revolutions that actually took hold.

In fact, since the beginning of the 19th century, revolution is not a new word. Revolutions appear almost every year on the European continent, but few really make noise.

Compared with the Revolution of 1848, this revolutionary wave was significantly less influential. In the final analysis, the people have not been driven to a dead end, and the people still have a choice - go to the colony.

Don't think that politicians are all fools. If they can beat many competitors and stand out, there are no fools. They choose to be stupid only because of the needs of interests. People are usually wiser when it comes to maintaining their rule.

Every economic crisis is the climax of European immigration to overseas, and it is not just the people who spontaneously rely on it. Without the cooperation of the government, how could thousands of immigrants leave so easily

Although there is a flood outlet, Franz still dare not take it lightly. There are so many lords in the Holy Roman Empire who are constantly pulling people in the country, and even the social unemployment rate can be reduced to a historical low by them. Naturally, there is no need to worry too much.

What really worries Franz is the many younger brothers. The seven states of Belgium and Italy seem to be stable. Who knows how long their public morale can last

Even though some French people draw hatred and divert the public's attention, there is a limit to the patience of the people. Just eating half full, I am afraid that it can not meet everyone's needs.

Let alone Spain, even though the Bilbao Uprising was extinguished, the social contradictions in Spain have not been resolved.

Others rely on war to divert domestic crises, but Spain exacerbated the crisis because of war. For no other reason, the victory has been delayed, and the people are already impatient.

"Japan is very strong", this explanation is estimated to be a European, will laugh. In everyone's impression, the world's most powerful countries are in Europe, and overseas are all soft-footed shrimp.

In the original time and space, Italians kept setting new records, and everyone's ability to bear was much stronger. Even if the Spanish-American War failed, the Spanish people also survived.

It's different now. Without the Italians contracting jokes, the Spanish army's current performance has become the object of ridicule.

It has been almost two years since the outbreak of the Philippine campaign. The Spanish government has successively invested hundreds of thousands of Spanish troops + hundreds of thousands of mercenaries, and spent hundreds of millions of Aegis in military expenses.

In addition to these hard-hit areas that may collapse, there are also some light-hit areas affected by the revolutionary wave, such as Greece and Switzerland, which also need to be paid attention to.

If the younger brother is only a hidden danger of the revolution, then France, the cradle of the revolution, is a bomb that ignites the line of fire.

As a big BOSS in the European War, and experienced another civil war, the loss of France cannot be counted at all. After finally waiting for the Bourbon dynasty to come to power, the situation stabilized, and immediately encountered an economic crisis.

Falling from the world's top powers to a third-rate country, this kind of mental gap, it is estimated that normal people can't stand it. Now that we can't even fill our stomachs, the grievances of the people are even greater.

There have been several rounds of changing dynasties, and no matter how to guide people's emotions, the Bourbon Dynasty has to bear the sequelae.

In a sense, the Philippine war also rescued France. Behind the hundreds of thousands of mercenaries are hundreds of thousands of families, and millions of people have made a living because of this war.

From this point of view, the Philippine war is also positive. In theory, as long as the number of mercenaries tripled, the predicament facing France would be solved.

After all, the present France is no longer the French Empire of the past. After a wave of chaos, the total population of France has dropped to less than 30 million.

If there are more than 400,000 mercenaries, the monthly salary alone will have more than 6 million Aegis, and if the income on the battlefield is added, it will be even greater.

The return of so much foreign exchange can not only solve the livelihood of hundreds of thousands of families, but also stimulate the domestic economy and create a large number of jobs.

However, this is not possible. Even if the Japanese were to fight to the death, the Spanish government would not be able to support so many mercenaries.

In modern warfare, salaries are only a fraction of the cost. Even if the weapons and ammunition are second-hand goods after the victory of the Anti-French War, other logistics materials also cost a lot of money.

In fact, the Spanish government has been able to persist until now because mercenaries are cheap enough.

It's not that the salary is cheap, but the pension is cheap. Out of humanitarian concern, it is enough to give a little symbolically. There is no big problem if you don't give it, and you don't have to worry about family protests.

The combat power is not bad, it is cheap and easy to use, and there is no need to worry about family protests, and it is properly cost-effective. Franz once wanted to sell French mercenaries to the major colonial empires to help the French government through the crisis.

Thinking about it, concrete actions are still not available. The reason is very real, which is to capitalize on the enemy. With cheap and easy-to-use mercenaries, the maintenance costs of the colonies of various countries are reduced, and the advantages of the Holy Roman Empire are virtually weakened.

Of course, the most important thing is that French mercenaries are not welcome. Although France fell to the altar after the defeat, the fear of them in European countries still exists.

If French mercenaries were hired to maintain the stability of the colony, once France re-emerged, it would be a wolves. Including Spain, which is using French mercenaries, is no exception. They are only hired temporarily, and people will be sent back after the war.

If it was replaced by Swiss mercenaries, the acceptance level of everyone is estimated to be much higher. At least there is no need to worry that the Swiss will turn against customers.

The No. 1 plan to solve the internal hidden dangers of France went bankrupt, and Franz could only passively use the No. 2 plan, namely: financing the Bourbon Dynasty and using the power of the aristocratic group to stabilize the situation.

Fortunately, the people of Paris did not participate in the uproar this time, and King Carlos's political skills were not bad, and the situation was barely stabilized. But overall, it is still not optimistic.

The current situation is that the economic crisis will not end for a day, and the situation on the European continent will not be stable for a day.

The only thing that is fortunate is that the revolutionary wave has also pulled Britain and Russia into the water. Everyone has reached the edge of the cliff, and no one dares to toss at this time.
