Holy Roman Empire

The French restarted their colonial development plan, but it still caused an uproar.There is an example of success in Austria, and no one can be sure that the French will fail.

In recent years, France has gradually been at a disadvantage in international competition. The biggest problem is that the domestic economic development has encountered a bottleneck and has not kept pace with the two countries.

Especially in the past two years, the economic growth rate of France has dropped sharply, but the British and Austrian economies have continued to surge.

It can be seen from the economic aggregate that Britain, which was originally surpassed by the French, now shows signs of catching up.

This is not a small problem. The total population of the British Isles is only more than 31 million, while France now has a population of nearly 60 million.

Simply calculating the per capita income, the income of the French people is only 60% of the British.

This is mainly because the Italian region has dragged its feet, especially in the southern Italy region, where the local agricultural economy has hardly developed in recent years.

If the total amount of industry is calculated, this gap will be even wider.The total industry of Greater France is less than half of the British and less than 40% of Austria.

Over time, this gap continues to expand.At this time, people have not realized the power of industry, but they can still clearly feel that they have no money in their pockets.

At its peak, France's fiscal revenue was close to the British. In the era of Napoleon III, it was also possible to conduct an arms race with the British. Now France's fiscal revenue is a little higher than that of the British mainland.

This is the effect of the butterfly effect. The Italian region is divided into two. At the peak of France + half Italy + colonies, it is not surprising that fiscal revenues are close to the British.

However, the moisture is very large, the real economy accounts for a very small proportion, the processing and manufacturing industry accounts for only about 10% of the French economy, and the rest is either agriculture, finance, and some service industries, including the financial industry. The largest proportion.

What is false is false, and it will not be turned into reality because of beautiful lies.

Since the last economic crisis, France ’s bubble economy has been punctured.In the absence of industry pillars, the financial industry alone cannot support an empire.

...

As the biggest beneficiary of the development of the colony, the Vienna government is undoubtedly the most aware of the interests contained therein.

If the benefits are not large enough, even if Franz persists, Austrian Africa will not develop to the point it is today.

In colloquial terms, once the colony is developed, industrial raw materials are no longer worrying, and there is also a market for commodity sales.

Now the Austrian market in Africa is not weaker than Spain, and all Austrian colonies add up. This market is no different from the Pupo Federation.

This is just the beginning. There are more than 20 million square kilometers, and the development potential is not comparable to that of Pupo Federation.

It is precisely because of this reserved land, coupled with the large local market, that Austria is able to leap forward and become the world's largest industrial country.

Since the French restarted their colonial plan, the Austrian government has become vigilant.The French Empire is now very large.If the last shortcoming is resolved, it is also a threat to Austria.

Economic Minister Reinhardt Hardegan: "The French economic development is constrained by industrial raw materials and is now approaching its limit. Now the French government restarts its colonial development plan, which is obviously a self-help movement.

If the French plan succeeds, we want to destroy France economically.

The European continent is very small and cannot accommodate so many big countries.With the development of industry, conflicts between countries will continue to increase in the future, and there may even be a war that swept across Europe.

If we can't take the opportunity to suppress the French, the French will inevitably collide with us in the future. This is not something that can be prevented by personal power.

For the long-term stability of the empire, we need to eliminate this hidden danger in advance.I propose to take action against the French and destroy their colonial development plan."

Without vigilance, who would make Napoleon awesome?Even after so many years, the Vienna government has never relaxed its vigilance against them.

Foreign Minister Weisenberg: "I object, the French colonial development plan has failed once, and it is also unknown whether it will succeed this time.

We cannot let France and Austria go to the opposite because of the uncertain risks.

If you do it because of possible threats, then there are threats in the Pope Federation, Russia, and Britain. Are we still going to be hostile to the world?"

Economic Minister Reinhard Haldgen retorted: "This is not the same. The British are sea power countries. Although the threat to us is great, it is not fatal.

The Pope Federation and the Russian Empire are hostile to each other and have consumed most of their energy. We just need to play a balance among them.

With the exception of France, we are all right-of-way countries like us, and our military strength is very close. Our main advantage is economically.

If the French make up for this shortcoming, the French government is likely to embark on the road of external expansion again, we can not watch Napoleon's old things repeat itself!"

Colonial Minister Stephen: "Not so serious, colonial development is not a problem overnight, it requires decades of continuous investment.

Judging from the current situation, the French people are not enthusiastic about the development of the colony, and only the funds that the French government can invest in the development of the colony are limited.

Everyone knows what a French colony looks like.They are basically deserts and wastelands, and there are not many areas suitable for human habitation.

The colonies of French America and Asia are too far apart, and the area is not large. It can be ignored temporarily. In the short term, the French should ignore it.

Those with real development potential are actually French Algeria, Egypt, half Tunisia, and half Morocco, and these areas are also part of the coastal land.

According to the information we collected, mineral resources are relatively scarce in these areas, and many rich deposits have been discovered, most of which are difficult to develop because of natural conditions.

The area suitable for agricultural production will not exceed 400,000 square kilometers at most.Even if it is to develop a plantation economy, it is unknown whether it will succeed under the competition of the outside world."

(Remarks the fertile soil area suitable for agricultural production in the above countries: Algeria 210,000 square kilometers, Morocco 220,000 square kilometers, Tunisia 70,000 square kilometers, Egypt 35,000 square kilometers)

The Desert Empire is such a tragedy. The French occupy less than 30% of the African continent and occupy three-quarters of the desert on the African continent.

In addition to its relatively large area, the third colonial empire in the world is not necessarily comparable to the Dutch in terms of actual income. At least the Nanyang region is rich enough.

Prime Minister Felix: "The French cannot be underestimated. Their background is still very solid. If the French government is determined, they will have the financial resources to complete the colonial development plan.

Not to mention the development of all colonies, as long as Algeria, Morocco and Egypt are developed, the overall national strength of the French can be increased by 20% to 30%.

This is also a threat to us.But this is a question of the future, it is too early to talk about these.

It is too extreme to directly attack the French colonial development plan. The matter has not reached that point, and the French are ahead of schedule.

Now that they are secretly causing some trouble, it is enough to delay their colony development plan.The longer the time delay, the better for us."

The destruction is inevitable. The three countries of Britain, France and Austria are allies and competitors.If you can suppress one of them, you won't mind the black hand.

Franz nodded and agreed, even if he wanted to turn his face, he shouldn't be so anxious.

French talents have announced a plan, which has not yet been implemented, and they can wait for them to make a move in the middle.

The destruction in the early stage is just like what the French government did during the colonial development of Austria.

It was just that the French were also busy expanding their colonies, had limited strength on the African continent, and could not invest much resources.

After the latter, after a large number of immigrants poured into the African continent, Austria's strength on the African continent increased sharply. Everyone wanted to destroy it, and they couldn't do it.

Foreign Minister Weisenberg proposed: "The Paris conference is almost over. By then everyone's sphere of influence has been delineated. If you want to take action, you must consider the position of each country.

At present, our core is still striving for sufficient development time.If you want to delay the French colonization plan, it is best to start economically to avoid a direct military conflict."
