Holy Roman Empire

There are many small countries in Europe that can survive and live very well. Naturally, they have a unique way of survival.

Now that Prussia has fallen from the ranks of the powers, if you want to moisturize the small life, you must abandon the previous gameplay and learn how to survive in a small country.

Frederick III was very sober, "Puhan joined together to establish North Germany, integrate many states in the German region, and control this new country to return to the ranks of powers."

In this era of weak meat and strong food, nothing is without strength.

After losing the Prussia region, the strength of the Prussian kingdom is greatly reduced. If you want to be the main guest, first ask Hanover to refuse to agree.

After purchasing the kingdom of Hanover, the strength on the bright side has surpassed that of Prussia, especially the economic advantage is more obvious.

Solve by force?

Don't even think about it!

Launching a civil war is a dead end, not to mention whether it can overwhelm Hanover, even if it wins, it loses its legal basis.

Hanover is part of the German Federal Empire, but the Kingdom of Prussia is not. As long as George I is not stupid, they will not be allowed to enter the Imperial Parliament.

Political penetration seems good.Frederick III knew that if it was completed, nothing would happen to him.

The Junker nobility regained the national dominance. For their own benefit, it will also promote the complete integration of Puhan.

Because of the war, Prussia offended the Russians. The Hohenzollern family wanted to enter the central government, and the Tsarist government certainly did not agree.

Puhan is a small country, and the merger is a medium country, and the country can only grow if the country is strong.If you can't enter the central government, you can only get rid of it.

In this respect, military Juncker is the foundation of a truly powerful country, and their interests and the state are tied too tightly.

In order to prevent the worst from happening, Frederick III had to reshuffle his political power as soon as he succeeded, taking advantage of the defeat of the war and rebalancing forces.

Berlin Royal Palace

Army Secretary von Roseward submitted a document saying, "Your Majesty, this is an army reorganization plan drafted by the Army Department.

According to the plan, after the reorganization is completed, we will save the establishment of 3 infantry divisions, 1 garrison division, 2 cavalry regiments, and 2 artillery regiments. In peacetime, these troops only retain half of the total strength, and the total strength is 23,000."

After the reorganization, the total strength is not as good as one-tenth of that before the war. If this plan is passed on, it will definitely cause an uproar.

No way, this is the price of defeat.The government has financial difficulties, and in order to curb spending, it has to use the army to operate.

Von Rose Wald, who presided over the disarmament, was also a member of the Junker nobility, but he was an alternative in the army, a firm anti-war faction.

Before the war, the anti-war forces were weak and had little say in politics; the post-war situation was fundamentally reversed, anti-warism prevailed throughout Europe, and Prussia was no exception.

In this context, Frederick III took the opportunity to promote a large number of anti-war figures and began to suppress the military forces.

After taking over the document, Frederick III turned a few pages at random and asked, "The plan is very good, but can it be achieved?"

No matter how good the plan is, it must be completed to count, otherwise the plan is always the plan.

The Prussian military is too strong. Even if it takes the opportunity of war to change the top of the military, it still cannot change the situation of the military.

Army Secretary von Rothschild: "It should be no problem. Now that the domestic anti-war trend is strong, we can use public pressure to make the military give in.

In order to carry out the plan smoothly, it is also necessary for His Majesty to come forward and lobby those highly respected generals to appease the military."

Frederick III nodded helplessly, trying to get the military leader to agree to disarmament, but it was not an easy task.

It's just that no matter how difficult it is, you have to do it, and don't put down military spending. Financial bankruptcy is a matter of time.

Frederick III couldn't help but want to question the Russians, why not use a treaty to limit the number of Prussian troops?

If there is an agreement in the treaty, it does not need to be so troublesome.The battle was fought by the military and lost the responsibility of the war, everyone can only admit it.

Prime Minister Leo von Caprivi: "Your Majesty, the issue of disarmament should not be slowed down or rushed.

It is best to give the officers and men a vacation first, so that they can get in touch with anti-war thinking, I believe most people will understand.

The damage caused by this war is too great, the domestic economy has been hit hard, and the unemployment rate is very high.Recently, many people have left.

As of now, the total population of the country has fallen to 7.368 million, and this number is still falling.

Sociologists estimate that even if no immigrants leave, we will still fall into negative population growth within the next five years.

In order to restore the economy and avoid a large population loss, the government plans to reduce taxes on some domestic enterprises and people to reduce the pressure on everyone's life."

Tax reduction is naturally a good thing, the problem is that the finances are very hurt.Although the war is over, huge debts remain.

In order to maintain a continental army, the tax revenue of the Kingdom of Prussia has always been high, and the living standard of the people has been at the bottom of the German region for many years.

When the economic situation is good, it can be maintained.As the economic situation deteriorates, the lives of ordinary people are unsustainable.

Fortunately, there is still the path of immigration, or everyone will be revolutionized, so it is impossible to prevent immigrants from leaving.

If you want everyone to stay, you can only restore the economy, increase employment, and reduce the burden on ordinary people.

After a moment of thought, Frederick III: "I am afraid that tax cuts alone are not enough. Everyone has no job and can't live.

The most urgent task is to solve the employment problem of the people.If this is not possible, relief food will be distributed.

The trauma caused by the war is too great. Once the economy recovers, the domestic labor force will definitely be insufficient. We must retain as many people as possible.

The government does not have money to apologize and asks for help from the German states of Austria, Hanover, Baden, and Saxony. Do n’t be afraid to lose face.

We do n’t need money either, whether it ’s a loan or a bond issue.

By the way, how about domestic bond sales?"

The war made the Berlin government realize the importance of population. If the population is not enough, the outcome of this Russian-Russian war is still unknown.

The Chancellor of the Exchequer Fedor Ogud replied: "It is very unsatisfactory. So far, 6.18 million marks have been sold.

Ordinary people have no money, and bankers doubt the government's ability to repay, and are simply unwilling to cooperate.

Especially the group of Jewish capitalists not only did not cooperate with the issuance of bonds by the government, but also sold short marks in the market, which led to a significant devaluation of our currency."

It is not just the Jews who short the mark, but both domestic and foreign capitals are involved.

It's just that the most excessive play of Jewish capital, and no backstage, is naturally pushed out of the tank.

Frederick III slapped the table fiercely, and it didn't matter if he didn't cooperate. This is the freedom of others.Private property in Europe is sacred and inviolable and cannot be forced to buy.

But shorting Mark is too much, it is shaking the foundation of the Kingdom of Prussia.Once Mark's credit collapsed, the Berlin government was over.

Having just experienced a defeat, the people cannot tolerate another time that their property becomes waste paper.

Frederick III said fiercely: "Zha! No matter who is controlling, these black hands must be dug out!"

Everyone met at a glance, as if they were psychic, and suddenly knew what to do next.

"Anti-Semitism" is a compulsory homework for all monarchs in Europe, and can be traced back thousands of years ago.When the monarch had no money, he borrowed from the Jews, and if he couldn't afford it, he opposed it.

Now the government ’s finances are obviously unsustainable. It ca n’t find open source and cut costs. Bankruptcy is a matter of time.

The core of throttling is disarmament, and open source is not that simple.If you want to make a sum in the short term, you can only cut leeks.

It was at this time that someone shorted Mark and gave the Berlin government an excuse to get started.
