At the Vienna Palace, after listening to the news brought by his brother, Franz said with a blank face: "Okay, the Belgian cabinet will deal with it, so don't continue to mix it up.
Now that the franc has fallen to the bottom, let your government in exile repay the French debt first, and take the opportunity to brush a wave of existence! "
No expectations, no disappointments. From the beginning, he had no confidence in Massimiliano, and Franz would not be disappointed.
In a sense, Massimiliano's performance was much better than Franz had expected. In addition to the more serious idealism, other aspects of performance are very good.
After so many years of development,
The Mexican Restoration Organization led by Massimiliano has gradually developed and grown, especially among European students with the greatest influence.
The European continent has always been the base of the monarchy these days, and governments of various countries have instilled the idea of loyalty to the monarch and patriotism.
Regardless of his ability, Massimiliano is beyond reproach in terms of personal morals. Compared with the warlords in Mexico, his exiled emperor left a bad impression on everyone.
Franz didn't help much in this regard. He used the public tools more than once for private purposes, and only then did he cleanse the exiled emperor of Massimiliano.
The Mexican students who were able to study in Europe were not from ordinary families. As these people returned home after their studies, the tentacles of the Restoration Organization also returned to Mexico.
If the current situation continues, coupled with the support of the Vienna government, there may be a day when Massimiliano will be restored.
Of course, this is only possible. Neither the British nor the Americans would like to see the flag of the Habsburg dynasty appear in Mexico again.
The most important thing is that Massimiliano's ability is insufficient, and there are no talents in the restoration organization, so he cannot cope with the complicated situation in Mexico. The restoration will push him to hell.
If nothing else, even the devaluation of the franc has not been discovered, and Franz had to remind him to know what the restoration organization of Massimiliano was.
"The devaluation of the franc - repayment of debt - brushing the sense of existence!"
The awakened Massimiliano looked at Franz in disbelief. This operation was beyond his understanding.
There is no doubt that this is playing a hooligan in an open and honest way. But the French can't say anything yet. The devaluation of the franc is their own toss, and there is no relationship between one franc and Massimiliano.
According to the amazing currency value of the franc, you only need to throw an aegis to the bank, and you can say generously: "Convert to francs to repay the debt, and you don't need to look for the rest."
One Aegis in a bank, no more than one hundred Aegis at most, the debt of the Mexican Empire to the French can be paid off.
Of course, if there is an additional condition on the loan contract: settlement in gold, then there is no way to play like this.
However, such a thing is almost impossible. Thirty years ago, who knew France would be where it is today
Under normal circumstances, even if the franc depreciates, it is only a short-term fluctuation, and the depreciation will not be too large. With the high interest rate of the loan, even if the currency value fluctuates, it is a bloody profit.
However, those who have confidence in their own country will not raise the issue of currency value changes when issuing international loans. This is common all over the world, including the loans issued by the Holy Roman Empire, which are settled by Aegis, and few people have raised the issue of currency value.
Regardless of whether the franc has depreciated or not, the government in exile takes the initiative to repay its debts. This spirit of abiding by the contract is worth writing about. The devaluation of the franc will only make the Chinese people unlucky.
The European media will certainly not miss this blogger's opportunity to increase newspaper sales. You don't need a hundred Aegis, you can search for it. There is no reason to give up such a good thing.
"Okay, I'll make arrangements right away!"
Soft ears are Massimiliano's most obvious weakness, but obedience is his greatest strength. Basically, what Franz ordered, he would do it seriously.
If it weren't for this advantage, Franz would have left his hands long ago, not to mention sponsoring an annual funding for the restoration of the country.
In fact, the funds for the restoration of the country were not always available from the beginning. In the beginning, it all depended on Massimiliano himself to go around for alms, as well as the support of his parents; it was not until the late 19th century, when Franz's pockets gradually bulged, that this "huge" sponsorship was obtained.
"Um!"
"The issue of restoration is not in a hurry. What you need most right now is to find talents. Governing a country has never been an emperor's business. You need a team to help you.
The Mexican Restoration Organization is too loose, and its members are even more mixed.
Especially in a country with complex national conditions like Mexico, the requirements for government officials are even higher. This kind of thing can't be rushed, it can only be discovered slowly by you.
In a sense, finding and appointing talents is the skill that a monarch most needs to master. You haven't done enough in this regard. "
Although there was not much hope for the restoration of Massimiliano, Franz would certainly not have said that in the presence of his brother himself.
One cannot live without ideals, regardless of whether they are finally realized or not, there must be a goal to strive for. If I really told the truth, it is estimated that Massimiliano would have been beaten and died a long time ago.
Lying is also an art, and Franz is not good at it. On the issue of restoration, Franz never gave positive comments, but only pointed out the problem at the right time.
If it weren't for his behind-the-scenes military commander, Massimiliano himself would humbly accept opinions. According to the original way of playing, it is estimated that the Mexican Restoration Organization would have disbanded long ago.
An exiled emperor, if he doesn't have any means, why let others sacrifice their lives for you
No matter how you point it out, the natural law of "things gather together, people are divided into groups" has not changed.
An idealistic leader, gathered a group of idealistic younger brothers. It's okay for such an organization to engage in propaganda, but if they really want to run the country, it's nonsense.
…
On the occasion of Leopold II's trip to Vienna, the situation in Paris changed again.
The coalition of nobles led by Carlos surrounded the city of Paris from all sides. In order to reduce casualties, or to say that someone inside was dragging their feet, 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 rice or steel, they will be hungry if they don't eat a meal" will not change.
Foreign food cannot be imported, and Paris, which is only supported by food reserves, obviously cannot last for long.
However, the revolutionary upsurge expected by the new government did not break out with the victory of the Paris Revolution; on the contrary, the news of the restoration of Bourbon caused the revolution to be underestimated.
It's not that the French people have lost their enthusiasm for revolution. It's because their stomachs are so hungry that everyone has no energy to make a revolution.
Out of support for the Bourbon Dynasty, the Continental Alliance made a decision to import all the supplies in France and only trade with the Bourbon Dynasty.
Simply put, wherever a revolution breaks out, there will be an economic blockade. Not to mention the aristocrats who were originally opposed to the revolution, even the intellectuals, the middle class, and the workers who were originally inclined to the revolution... have now changed their positions one after another.
Voluntary or not, it doesn't matter at all. Anyway, as long as everyone knew that following the revolutionary party was going to starve, no one was willing to go.
People outside have a choice, but people trapped in Paris have no choice. If you want to leave the city and surrender, you have to pass the minefield first.
These are all sponsored by international caring people free of charge, and all come from the unsalable products left over from the European War. In order to avoid being wasted in vain after the expiration date, it was stuffed by the Allies to the Noble Alliance.
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 and winning, and ordered a huge minefield to be arranged outside Paris.
There is no need to worry about safety issues, but people inside can't get out, and people outside can't get in.
However, now they don't need to go in either. When the city ran out of food, the war was over. This kind of tactic has almost no disadvantages except that it takes a little longer.
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.
Insufficient grain reserves, in order to support a longer period of time, the new government had to adopt a limited supply system. At the beginning, it was fine, with leaders taking the lead, everyone had the same standards, and no one had any opinions.
Over time, things have changed. Black sheep exist everywhere, and the new government in Paris is no exception.
Under the drive of interest, underground black markets appeared quietly and without interest. As long as there is money, there is almost no limit. Of course, this money does not refer to francs, and all that can be traded are hard currencies, such as gold and silver jewelry, British pounds, Aegis, etc.
The food that was left on the black market did not appear out of thin air. The new government's management of the granary was still very strict. If the bureaucrats wanted to make a fortune, they could only deduct the rations of ordinary people.
People's greed is endless. At the beginning, two or three points are deducted. Seeing that there is no major reaction from the public, the deduction will increase more and more until it exceeds everyone's limit...
