Holy Roman Empire

If it is not because of political opposition, it is still very simple to solve the agricultural crisis. Several grain exporting countries are connected in series to unify the increase in grain prices and divide their respective grain export shares. All problems have been solved.

This is how OPEC plays in later generations. In order to avoid vicious competition, everyone intends to control oil production and guarantee the interests of all member countries.

It is regrettable that the two nations of Pupo and the Russian empire have formed a deadly feud, and it is impossible for the tsarist government to promise reconciliation.

This is a matter of principle. Even if the pacifist, Alexander III, comes to power, it is impossible to compromise on this issue.

The Russian people can tolerate failure, but they cannot tolerate recognition.The Russian empire can grow and thrive because of its tenacity.If the heart is out, the Russian Empire will be over.

To reach this point, it is impossible to experience multiple failures in a row.This made it impossible for the tsarist government to confess to the two countries. If they dare to compromise, there must be a revolution in the country.

The first Russian-Russian war failed, and the tsarist government did not collapse. In addition to the support of Austria, there was the political legacy left by Nicholas I. An army loyal to the tsarist guaranteed the stability of the regime.

Alexander II was not an idle man. The consequences of the defeat of the war broke out. He took the opportunity to clean up a group of government worms, struck the arrogance of conservatives, and laid the foundation for reform.

After the outbreak of the agricultural crisis, the biggest loss on the bright side was Austria, and in fact the biggest loser was the Russian Empire.

Austria is not the first grain exporting country, but most of the exports are processed grains, and some industrial added value offset some of the losses.

There are also snack food producers who not only did not lose money in this agricultural crisis, but also increased a lot of profits.

No matter how the price of raw materials drops, the price of snacks in the market has not changed much.The seemingly insignificant small commodities actually bring in no small profit.

If someone investigates the details of agricultural products exported by Austria, they will find that the total sales of canned food, biscuits, french fries, chocolate and other non-staple food exported by Austria have exceeded the total sales of grain.

There are currently thousands of food brands registered in Austria. If these types of snacks are subdivided, there are hundreds of products.

In order to make profits, capitalists have invested heavily in research, and new foods have appeared almost every day.Only food that has withstood the test of the market can survive, otherwise it will soon disappear in people's eyes.

There are often capitalists holding food festivals, specifically looking for people to try new snacks to collect data, and if they are widely praised, they will be promoted to market. If they are rejected by the public, they will naturally be removed from the market.

In addition to independent research and development, the capitalists also sent people to collect food all over the world. Everyone has no resistance in the face of interest, and the exotic flavors are still produced.

As long as it is a good snack on the market, Austria produces it.These humble things are actually the real pillars of Austria ’s agricultural exports.

In contrast, the export of finished grain has retreated to a secondary position, mainly because of the volume of profit, and the profit margin is far from comparable to these non-staple foods.

Perhaps in the later generations, these humble commodities can be produced by a family workshop, but in this era, they are still high-tech products.

Not to mention, few food packaging bags can be produced in few countries.Anti-corrosion technology is also a problem. Many capitalists using mercury as preservatives have been present this year.

Such a large-scale food export must not be so fun.In the event of an accident, it is tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of people who have been poisoned by food together. No one can afford such a big thing.

This requires a test of chemical technology. In general, it is quite chaotic. In addition to the most commonly used salt, there are a lot of messy preservatives, which can only be said to be less harmful than mercury.

The only thing that can be guaranteed is that there will be no immediate food poisoning, or else it will not pass the Austrian customs security inspection.Regarding the entire agricultural product export industry, the Vienna government is still relatively strict.

If you eat it for a long time, you will not know the consequences.Anyway, these packaged foods, Franz never touch, the entire Vienna court will not appear these junk foods.

This is a small problem. Everyone's lifespan is short. Maybe they didn't wait for the sequelae to break out, and they met God in advance. No one has come out to complain about the harmfulness of these junk foods.

Regardless of the harm, at least the taste is good.These junk foods that can be stored for a long time are the crew's favorite and become an essential material for sailing. They are exported to all parts of the world along with the era of great navigation.

With these industries as a support, Franz was able to sit still only after the shrinking of the export market for finished grain.

However, some people are in a hurry. The Austrian grain export market has shrunk, and domestic processing companies have naturally reduced their production. Poland and the Russian empire are the first to bear the brunt.

The Polish government was forced to do things.The Vienna government increased the tariffs, and Polish farm products were directly blocked.

A large amount of agricultural products are unsalable, and not only farmers can't stand it, but nobles and capitalists can't hold it either.It is not surprising that the government has deliberately provoked the conflicts between Austrian and Austrian waves in order to weather the crisis.

Of course, "provocation" is not in the Polish government's plan, they are only preparing to slogan in the country, not preparing a hard cap.

After clarifying the positions of various countries, although the Polish government did not accept Austria's conditions in its entirety, it immediately explained and apologized.

As a behind-the-scenes player, the Prussians naturally cannot watch the Polish government pass the border so easily.The news quickly leaked out, and public opinion in Poland exploded.

The unlucky "successful" suddenly became a national hero, and the patriotic youth raised the banner and ran to the Austrian Embassy in Warsaw to protest.

The Polish government still knows the seriousness, and then stimulates the Austrians, maybe they will be called.The Prime Minister of East Brovsky sent the police to block the streets for the first time, and the march had a fierce clash with the police.

Originally, the Polish government only intended to divert the crisis, but did not expect that things were out of control, but triggered a political crisis.

Except for the ignorant and intrepid young teenagers in the second grade, all politicians know that this time stimulating Austria is looking for death.

It is no secret that the great powers like to use war to transfer internal crises.The agricultural crisis broke out in Austria, and Poland was looking for excitement at this time. Wasn't it sent to the door to be beaten?

Poland is also a big agricultural country. In the European grain export market, the Poles still hold a 13% market share.

If the Vienna government wants to reduce a competitor and take advantage of the opportunity to beat them, it is not difficult at all.As long as there is no expansion, European countries will not interfere.

The Polish government was forced to forcefully suppress the anti-Austrian wave in the country. The Vienna government naturally accepted their apology, and the conflict between Austria and Poland seemed to come to an end.

Of course, this is just the view of ordinary people.Looking at the frequent activities of the Austrian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, you know that something is going to happen.The atmosphere in Europe suddenly became tense, and the smell of gunpowder became stronger.

The Berlin and Vienna governments did not immediately start working on Poland, and the top Prussian government was very disappointed.

As one of the victims of the agricultural crisis, the Prussian government naturally wants to get through the crisis as soon as possible.To provoke the Obo conflict is a one-shot plan.

Not only can alleviate the agricultural crisis, but also the opportunity to annex the Kingdom of Poland.The international situation is obvious. Britain and France do not want to see Austria continue to expand on the European continent. Austria also does not want to see the expansion of Russia and Russia.

In the view of the Prussian government, the Vienna government should be above them for fear of Russians, or Austria will not draw in the last Russian-Russian war.

If Austria fully supports the tsarist government, other issues dare not say that at least the army of the tsarist government will not lack strategic materials.

It is nothing more than changing the marching route and sending troops along the Austrian border.Putting supplies in Austria and transporting them when needed, the Russians can save even the troops stationed there.

According to that style of play, no matter how good the Prussian army is, it will fall under the tactics of grey cattle.

William I waved his hand in a complex look: "The old fox of Franz can really bear it. We all gave them an excuse to go to the door. He didn't touch the Poles.

It seems that Austria's strategic focus is really no longer on the European continent. Isn't their African localization strategy not a smoke bomb?"

No one can answer this question, but most countries believe that Austria ’s Africa localization strategy is a fool shot, mainly to distract everyone ’s attention and create opportunities for the reunification of the German region.

No reason, Europeans in this era are so arrogant.Except for the land of the European continent, it is an uncultivated wild land, and the African continent is also known as the "Poisonous Continent".

Austria ’s road to Africa ’s expansion is actually a history of the struggle between man and nature.The biggest enemy facing is not the local indigenous country or other powers, but the harsh natural environment.

Almost no one thinks that the African continent is necessary for localized management. Everyone is paranoid that the land on the European continent is more important, especially the land in Western Europe and Central Europe.

Jeffrey Friedman, Minister of Foreign Affairs of Prussia: "Your Majesty, the Austrians have already released a political signal and want us or the Russians to start first. It is almost certain that they are not going to start first."

The gun that hits the head bird is the most likely to be unlucky since ancient times.Of course, if it succeeds, the gains are often the biggest.

Austria has a great career, and its foundation has long been solid.Whether it can expand on the European continent has become irrelevant for the Vienna government.

This is not comparable to Prussia, and if possible, William I did not want to continue to expand in continental Europe.Europe is too complicated to move the whole body.

The Kingdom of Prussia already had a foothold on the Indochina Peninsula. If it was not threatened by the Russian Empire, they also joined the colonial movement.

Realistic threats force them to continue to increase their strength, and it is obviously too late to grow slowly.The Kingdom of Prussia now has a population of more than 22 million, and the efficiency of farming is obviously not as good as that of more than 74 million Russians.

The quickest way to increase strength is to expand outwards. The German Federal Empire was what they wanted most. Unfortunately, reality does not allow it.

The Kingdom of Prussia dared to start against the German Federation. The Vienna government was afraid that it would compromise with the French, and then they would be beaten by the Austrian-French-Russian group.

No way, they can only retreat to the attention of the Poles.At least the British and French opposed this issue not too fiercely, Austria also wanted to see them and the Russians die, so as not to directly come to the door.

After looking at the map of Europe on the wall, William I sighed, "Ah!"

After wandering a few steps, William I pointed to St. Petersburg and was in a much better mood: "Wait and wait! Poland is still our ally, and now we can do nothing.

This agricultural crisis cannot be ended in a short time. According to the data released by the Austrian Ministry of Agriculture, all countries' plans to reduce production capacity have failed, even if they themselves have not been able to complete the production reduction plan.

They do not need to falsify these data. We are just one example. This year, the domestic grain cultivation area will not be reduced.It is not so easy to implement the Fallow Law.

The Austrian family is able to withstand the losses caused by the agricultural crisis, but the Russians are not.Their grain output is the largest in Europe. To whom is such a large capacity sold?

Both Britain and France hope that the European continent will remain stable. Now whoever stirs up disputes will be their enemy."
