Holy Roman Empire
Chapter 614
Seeing that the European continent was caught in a wave of strikes, Franz was terrified.Those who have not experienced the 1848 revolution cannot understand this tension.
The first problem occurred in Rome. Italian independent organizations took advantage of the wave of strikes and took the opportunity to raise things in Rome.
Even more bizarre is that they still succeeded. After hearing this news, Franz was all stunned. It is estimated that the top level of the Italian independent organization was also stunned.
He roared a few times and recovered Rome.You know, everyone is not ready yet, just to declare national independence.
The reality is that this is nonsense. The police in Rome are all locals, and they are not dissatisfied with the French. It is not just a day or two.
The French troops are outside the city, and there is only one infantry battalion.The first time the uprising broke out, the French army was waiting for the order. Due to the destruction of the telegraph line, it was too late to wait for them to receive the order.
Don't blame the commander for not knowing what to do. This is the French rule.The transfer of the army must be ordered by superiors, and middle and lower-level officers do not have the authority to send troops, even to suppress the rebellion.
Frankly speaking, the current international situation is not suitable for Italy to launch an independent uprising.The Paris conference has just begun. It is everyone ’s common wish to reconcile conflicts and reduce international conflicts.
The Italian independent organization is now launching an uprising. It is difficult to find supporters internationally. Even their biggest gold master, the British, will not support them now.
Without external intervention, with the strength of the Italian independent organization, how could it be possible to win?
The French are not soft persimmons now, let alone Italy is not yet independent, even if it is already independent, it is not enough for the French to fight.
In Franz's view, this uprising was a farce, and the success was muddled. The next destiny was to be suppressed by the French.
The only effect is probably to defeat the prestige of Napoleon IV and make the situation in France even more tense.
On March 12, a week after the Roman uprising, there was another riot in the Rhineland region.
This time the protagonist is not only the working class, but also the participation of capitalists, the main reason is to oppose immigration.
There is no doubt that the immigration policy of the Berlin government is unpopular, and this is breaking everyone's money.They have taken away the high-tech talents. How does this leave the remaining capitalists mixed?
The capitalists have long wanted to fight back, only because they lacked strength to fight the Berlin government.Now the wave of strikes broke out and became their chance.
The capitalists blamed the government for the inability to raise wages, and publicly accused the government of high taxation and immigration policies, which prevented companies from paying more labor costs.
There are even capitalists who have publicly promised that as long as everyone stays, after the Berlin government leaves, everyone's salary will increase by 50%.
Judging from the reactions of the capitalists, Franz can be sure that the Berlin government's immigration work is well done, otherwise it will not force the capitalists to play the game in person.
Regardless of success or failure, the relationship between Pu and De has already begun to be tense.This is also an opportunity for Austria.
The existence of the customs union is always a threat.Franz had long wanted to abolish it, but unfortunately, he had planned several times before, and failed at the last moment.
Now that there is one more Rhineland region, the situation has changed.If the Berlin government does not slap these gangs of capitalists, after this battle, the future Rhineland will be a staunch anti-Public.
If these people are wiped out, the problem is also very serious, which will make the domestic capital family members self-defeating.
Not waiting for Franz to take action, Spain has problems again.The Republicans launched an uprising in Madrid in an attempt to overthrow the rule of Alfonso XII, the rebellion was suppressed, and the situation in Spain became tense again.
In the first half of 1876, the most frequently used words in European newspapers were "insurrection," "rebellion," "revolution," and "repression."
According to preliminary statistics, there were 36 uprisings with more than 1,000 people in continental Europe in just half a year, and the remaining small uprisings were countless.
Not to mention outside, even the Austrian police suppressed a great empire and added two kingdoms.It is really a "great empire" with a population exceeding double digits.
For political influence, Franz can only send these people to mental hospitals.Of course, from a rational analysis, these people may really be mentally ill.
Normal people really can't do this kind of thing. One of the empire has been lurking in a manor outside Prague for seven years.
The owner of the manor is the emperor, the proprietress is the queen, and her three sons are the crown princes. The residents of the manor are the minister, the general, the guard, and the maid ...
Well, hidden in the mountains and the empire, Franz saw a lot. This is the first time he has heard of this kind of "empire" in the suburbs.
No wonder it was not found, it was completely farce, it is estimated that the neighbors found it and thought they were playing opera.
The main reason for the exposure was that a trader went to the estate to sell goods, was forced to collect taxes, and reported the case to the Prague police.
The nature is different at once.Prior to this, the owner of the manor was honestly paying taxes to the government. Even if the emperor or minister claimed himself, everyone thought they were fans of stage plays.
Once the illegal taxation came out, it suddenly rose to the level of chaos, which attracted the attention of the Prague police.I don't know if I don't check it. When I checked, I was shocked and reported to Franz.
Seeing the file, Franz couldn't help crying.Just close the door and be the emperor. Why bother to collect taxes?
Since you are at home, even if you are caught, you can still fool it with "performance enthusiasts".Without actual action, the police will not define them as "anti-thieves".
There are also thresholds for "anti-thieves" in Austria, and not everyone can be considered.They are obviously not qualified.
Slapsticks are always better than riots, and Franz still sees them.It is also good to make a little jokes and ease the domestic tension.
Facts have proved that ordinary people will not rebel as long as they can fill their stomachs.
The Austrian people have not yet reached the point of hunger, even if they are really poor and down to the point where they have eaten up and down, they can still sign up for immigration.
Many colonial companies are recruiting people, and someone who signs a contract has someone to take care of it.The standard is not high, as long as the limbs are sound, men, women and children are not selected.
No way, who left the colony without people?Even if the quality is a little bit worse, the colonial company can't take care of that much.
...
In Milan, Lao Nuo was worrying about the stock market. Affected by the strike, the share price of Dacron Textile Mill plummeted.
Even if the strike is over, the stock price is still falling.No way, who made them the most famous?
As the source of this wave of strikes, Dakal Textile Mill has become famous throughout the European continent with the spread of the strike movement, and its popularity is higher than many small countries.
Unfortunately, it is not a good reputation.Both the newspapers that favor the bourgeoisie and the newspapers that favor the working class have bloodied their scolding dogs.
Obviously they have quelled the strike. Only Austrian domestic newspapers reported that overseas media did not see the letter.
The reason is that the old Llano is naturally clear. The Da Keer Textile Factory has more offenders this time, and the capitalists who have lost their interests will definitely be angry.
Regardless of how the content of the newspaper is written and which class is preferred, the newspaper is still capitalist.If the compromise of the Dakool Textile Factory is publicized, isn't it encouraging the workers to strike?
These unfavorable factors directly affect the stock price of Dacron Textile Mill.The financial statements for this quarter are still in the hands of Old Lanno, and he dare not publish it.
Affected by the strike, the Dakal Textile Mill suffered its first loss in ten years. Although it did not lose much, it would still affect the confidence of the market by letting the news out.
Xiaolan Nuo dissuaded: "Father, this quarter's statement cannot be published. Now there is a wailing on the stock market. If we release this news, the share price of Dakol Textile Mill will collapse.
In case of a full-blown stock market crash, we are dead.Those big consortiums have not completed the retreat, and now they will all suffer heavy losses in the stock market crash, and they will certainly not let us go."
There are many definitions of consortium. Generally speaking, it refers to a consortium of large groups and large banks controlled by financial oligarchs. It is usually a combination of several families.
In a sense, the Dacron Textile Mill is also part of a consortium. They also have allies, but they do not have the title of consortium.
The consortium is not as a whole as everyone thinks, but it is full of internal contradictions. Only when they have common interests, can everyone be consistent with the outside world.
The main reason for the strength of later generation consortia is that with the deepening of cooperation, everyone's interests are intertwined.The realization of you in me, and you in me, internal conflicts have gradually eased.
The Dakker family also had deep cooperation with several large families in Lombard. Old Lanno used to want to form a consortium. Unfortunately, they were nobles. Old Lanno was only a capitalist.
In order to cooperate in the common interest, if you want people to truly accept him, you still need a ticket.
A lot of capitalists have transformed into nobles, and more of them can fail in transformation. The Dakker family is one of the losers.
In the African colonial expansion movement, the stingy old Lanno hired a cheap Italian mercenary to save costs.
The result is self-evident, cheap is cheap, but unfortunately not easy to use.After several years of tossing on the African continent, the military achievements were not obtained, and the military was almost wiped out.
Of course, it is not without gains, and business opportunities were quickly discovered.He made a fortune in the labor export business, and then opened a cotton plantation to produce and sell directly.
The time is not waiting for others, the money is earned, and the opportunity to enter the noble class is also missed.The gains and losses of the outsiders are difficult to make clear, and anyway, Old Lanno often regrets it.
After hesitating for a while, Old Lanno shook his head: "It's not that simple, we have a strike this year, everyone is clear. Numerous eyes are on us. If the financial statements are falsified at this time, it is easy to be seen. problem.
That caused the stock market to crash, which was only possible, and the consortium could also support the market.If the falsification of financial statements is exposed, we will be finished.
As for revenge, the big deal is to give up part of the overseas market, can they still get things done in Milan?
Or, do you think that several domestic consortia have the courage to play so much on the stock market?"
After a pause, Old Lanno added: "Remember, what you see is not necessarily true, it is probably someone else wants you to see.
The guys in the financial industry are more sensitive to the market than you think, and their withdrawal speed is much faster than you think.
Otherwise, someone would have greeted us.Maybe everyone is ready, just waiting for our final blow to the stock market.
As for the losses caused by the stock market crash, that was only apparent to the public.Afterwards, you will find that they earn far more than they lose."
That being said, Old Lanno was still not calm.According to the current situation, it is likely that the Dakal Textile Mill will become a scapegoat afterwards.
Legally, stock market accidents are not their responsibility, they do not need to be responsible.It is difficult to say in public opinion, sometimes spitting stars can kill people.The reputation is broken, and the business is not good.
There are so many similar products on the market today, why should everyone buy the infamous "Darker Textile Factory" products?
This is not a future generation, regardless of good reputation and bad reputation, as long as you have a reputation, you can make money.
Now the people are relatively simple, many people think that good reputation enterprises have good product quality; poor reputation enterprises have poor product quality.
In case there is a resistance from the public and the products produced cannot be sold, then it is really over.
