Holy Roman Empire

Chapter 741

In a sense, the civil unrest in France delayed the outbreak of the Austrian navy.

The former Dreadnought Ship is only a transitional product, and its economic life is very short. The glory of the original Dreadnought Ship was only ten years old.

It is economically uneconomical to wait until the warship is retired.

Knowing that this warship is not cost-effective, Franz still has to build it, and it needs to be built on a large scale.

Before the birth of the Dreadnought, the former Dreadnought Battleship was still awesome, at least more than all warships on the sea.

As long as Austria builds on a large scale, Britain and France must follow suit, because of the relationship of sea power, they must build more warships.

If you lose more money, Franz does n’t mind letting this game continue.

However, this time the suppression of France underestimated the revolutionary enthusiasm of the French people, plus a little shaking of the hand, and accidentally started a little bit heavier, which caused the French government to nearly cry out.

Against this background, even if the French want to follow suit, even if the French want to follow suit, the reality allows!

As a last resort, Franz can only slow down the expansion of the navy and wait for the French government to stabilize the situation before continuing this game of losing money.

Don't worry about the financial resources of the French, at least in the short term.Despite the heavy losses in this crisis, not much of the wealth has escaped.

Industry and manufacturing are the hardest hit. This part of the industry accounts for slightly more than one tenth of France's overall economy, and other industries have a relatively low impact.

The losses caused by this shock are similar to those of the French in the Franco-Prussian War.

The size of the Great French Empire is now much larger than the original time and space, and it is supported by overseas colonies. It is not difficult to restore the economy.

It seems that there is a lack of money, that is, most of the wealth is concentrated in the hands of a few people.Especially those consortia that collaborate with international capital are making a fortune.

Sometimes too much money is also an annoyance. At the same time as the domestic horse racing, the consortium needs more investment channels. Loan usury is definitely a favorite of financial tycoons.

The French government is undoubtedly the best customer. The repayment ability is a minor issue. It is not interest income that the consortium lents to the government. What everyone needs is to strengthen the influence on the government through financial means.

"Take people's hands short and eat people's mouths softly." Influencing the government through debt is a common method used by capitalists.

There is such a big mess in the country, France's fiscal revenue is almost cut, and the Paris government has no shortage of money, which is the most true portrayal.

If you owe much more money, the government will gradually become dependent on the consortium, and even to the end, it will be inseparable from the support of the consortium.

At that time, when the government formulated policies, it was inevitable that there was a certain tendency.

Judging from the current situation, the French economy will not be optimistic for a long time to come. If the government wants to stabilize the situation, it must increase jobs and reduce the unemployment rate.

Shipbuilding is not the best option, but the most suitable option.Not only can it boost domestic demand, but you do n’t have to worry about investment.

As long as the British Olympics start, the Paris government will definitely follow up.The former Dreadnought ship is almost built, and it can start the era of the Dreadnought ship and have another wave of money-burning games.

The only regret is that John Bull gave up the two strong standards early, otherwise the arms race could kill them.

Without the two strong standards, the British goal is only 65% ​​higher than the second.The total tonnage of the Austrian Navy is 84% ​​of the French, which means that the British shipbuilding plan was reduced from 1.84 to 1.65.

It seems to have only decreased by 0.19, and the proportion is less than 11%. According to the current cost of British shipbuilding, the problem of millions of pounds seems not to put pressure on the London government.

In fact, this is far from a matter of millions of pounds. The navy's most expensive is not shipbuilding expenses. The subsequent port construction, warship maintenance, and salaries of officers and soldiers are far higher than the cost of shipbuilding.

The former is several million at a time, while the latter is increased by several million every year.Even the wealthy John Bull must be cautious on this issue.

Judging from the current situation, the first to be unsustainable should be the French.

This is determined by the comprehensive national strength. Their financial strength was already at the bottom of the three countries. After encountering so many bad things, the financial gap between everyone is even more disparate.

...

In the small town of Mordo in West Prussia, the townspeople were surrounded by a notice.From the gloomy faces of everyone, it can be seen that this is not good news.

After the Russian soldiers who posted the notice went away, a young man broke his silence: "It is necessary to collect taxes in advance, this is the fifth time, and it will let no one live!"

After the Russians occupied the West Prussia region, the tsarist government announced the reduction and exemption of taxes in the first place in order to gather people's hearts, and abolished most of the taxes in the Kingdom of Prussia.

There is no doubt that this policy ended in failure.The quality of the policy is not the policy itself, the most important thing is to see the implementation.

With the poor military discipline of the Russian army, no matter how good the policy is, they can't stand their tossing. Under the trend of the power of hatred, the local people still support the Berlin government more.

The endless stream of guerrillas eventually wiped out the patience of the tsarist government.

After the war, the Russians gave up their plans to win over the local people and started the Tsarist model.

In less than a year, the Russians taxed the West Prussia until 1886.

If you have no money to pay taxes, you can use the land to pay off your debts.Not only the West Prussia region, but almost all newly occupied areas.

It was the nobles that the tsarist government had seized.The clan given by the czar is essentially a name, and a clan is not equal to a land.

The land on the aristocracy was originally owned. According to the legal interpretation of the sacred and inviolable private property, this belongs to private finance, and no one has the right to deprive them at will.

The nobles want to turn the fiefs into their own industry, they also need to find ways to seize it from the original owner.

After the reform of Alexander II, the powers of local governments and nobles were somewhat weakened.

If you want to change the tax rate or add new tax types, you must report to the central government for approval.

It is easy to raise the tax rate and increase the types of taxes. The tsarist government is running out of money. As long as the local government can collect it and it is not messy, there is no problem.

The trouble is that it is difficult to change back in the future.Everyone regards these lands as their own property. If they do not return, they will have to pay more taxes. Naturally, everyone is unwilling.

In this context, the traditional mode of operation of "advance tax collection" has radiated new brilliance in the newly occupied territory.

An old man dressed in a Chinese costume, who looked very extraordinary, sighed and said sadly: "It's really impossible, just hand over the land!"

The Russians came to the land, this is just the beginning.

Even if they collected the money and paid the 1886 tax, and there was the next tax for me in 1887, they would not give up if they did not achieve their goals.

No matter how big the family business is, it can't stand such a toss.It is now too late to let go, lest the land is not preserved and huge debts are owed."

After speaking, the old man turned and left without giving everyone a chance to debate.

In a similar way, he has said it more than once, but everyone always has a lucky heart and dreams of keeping the land.
