Holy Roman Empire

Chapter 773

The economic crisis is still raging, and all walks of life have been hit, but the shipping industry is an exception.

Affected by the policies of the Vienna government, the business volume of companies engaged in ocean shipping in Europe has greatly increased, and there has been a prosperity against the market.

First came the policy of immigration in Eastern Europe. Millions of people from Eastern and Western Prussia travelled to the African continent. Now there is another wave of transnational “immigrants settlement”.

Shipping companies engaged in international trade have been very moist in their childhood, even with the economy showing signs of recovery.

Of course, this is just an illusion.The economic crisis is more serious than it seems on the surface. In order to crack down on competitors, Britain and Austria continue to play dumping.

Relying on the dual advantages in technology and raw materials, the cost of industrial products in Britain and Austria is mostly lower than that in European countries, which creates favorable conditions for dumping.

Everyone is losing money, others can still protect the capital, and the game can naturally continue.In order to drag down competitors, the capitalists of Britain and Austria have also invested their blood.

Affected by this, the calls for withdrawing from the free trade system and establishing a tariff protection system are also increasing in the European world.

In Paris, a great revolution has just ended, the blood stains have not yet dried, and the citizens of Paris have once again embarked on a demonstration: protesting the dumping of goods between Britain and Austria and demanding that the government protect the market.

Listening to the "cries of the capitalists" outside, it was not the cries of the people. Napoleon IV in the temporary palace only felt the pressure.

Economic Minister Elsa analyzed the matter carefully: "Although the domestic economy shows signs of recovery, this recovery rate is really too slow.

Most industries are struggling under the impact of foreign commodities.

The best way to restore the economy in a short period of time is to withdraw from the free trade system and protect the domestic market.

But in this way, we are easily isolated internationally.We need to pull some countries out of the free trade system together and share the pressure from Britain and Austria.

Under the Great Britain and Austrian dumping policy, many countries around the world are suffering miserably, and all countries urgently need to change the situation.

As a world power, France has a responsibility to lead everyone to get rid of the oppression of Britain and Austria and establish a harmonious business system without dumping."

The first part is the specialty of the Minister of Economy, and the second part is obviously a slogan.Generally speaking, pulling allies is the business scope of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Foreign Secretary Terence Burgin frowned: "Your Excellency, things are not so simple.

The major impacts of the Great Britain-Austria dumping are mainly industrialized countries, such as the Dutch, Spanish, and Portuguese colonial empires, which have limited industrialization and suffered very limited impact.

Maybe they are still cheering and excited about the price reduction.Without involving their own interests, they will not stand with us.

Europe is really hit, except us, only Belgium and North Germany, are you sure we want to draw them?"

It's not a question of whether it can be pulled or not, the point is that it can't be pulled at all.

The big dumping between Britain and Austria will hurt the most money, and it is impossible to continue, and the patience will pass. The French want to swallow them in one go.

No matter how the Paris government conceals, the voice of the people moving eastward still shocks the two countries.Without hugging the thighs of Britain and Austria, how can people sleep?

Economic Minister Elsa said without hesitation: "Of course! After the outbreak of the economic crisis, the number of unemployed people in all countries is increasing, and the governments of Belgium and Germany are also under great pressure.

Being able to get out of the crisis, I think they will not refuse.As for their concerns, then give them a guarantee.

We can sign a treaty with the two countries to guarantee their national defense security and let them serve as our raw material production area."

After hearing the explanation from the Minister of Economic Affairs, Terence Burkin was a little crying and laughing, and asked: "Your Excellency, do you think the rulers of the two countries are fools?

You have to know that they are different from us, and there is no colonial support.

After exiting the free trade system, to whom do they sell their goods?Where do industrial raw materials come from?

Make us a raw material production place, you really dare to think!

Keep them safe, what do you use to protect them, and why should people trust you?"

The increase in unemployment rate this year is really not a big deal.Both the major colonial empires and the American countries welcome European immigrants.

Moreover, Belgium and North Germany are both key areas for Austrian immigration. There is a colonial government responsible for boat tickets, lost jobs and livelihoods, and everyone can also migrate overseas.

As long as the government cooperates with the publicity, it can send the trouble away.Without the revolutionary pressure brought about by the unemployment wave, everyone should naturally weigh the pros and cons.

The market and industrial raw materials are only one aspect. The key is to raise the export price of coal with British and Austrian players. Is it not profitable to earn huge profits?

When the brain was filled with water, he turned away the benefit of sending it to the door and ran as a raw material production place for the French.

Security guarantees are even more a joke. If a treaty can work, what would the military do?

France's credibility is actually better than that of Britain and Russia. If you want to rely on this thing to win the world, you need the Paris government to work hard.

Do n’t the Minister of Economy know these problems?Obviously, this is impossible.How can it be really stupid to climb to such a high position?

It's just that sometimes it's rare to be confused, especially for politicians, pretending to be confused is a required course.

Basically, all the wonderful policies were born under this background.It looks funny on the surface, and there are often hidden invisible interest chains behind it.

It is the domestic industrial and commercial capitalists who need to implement trade protection. If you want to develop the economy, you will have to deal with these people. Everyone will become your own.

Capitalists need to make money, and Elsa also needs political performance.They all benefit from promoting trade protection policies.

Knowing the reason was untenable, the Minister of Economy Elsa was still arrogantly defending: "Aren't there Americans?

The United States of America is also about to complete industrialization, and they are also victims of dumping by the British and Austrians. They urgently need to get rid of this shackles."

Speaking of this pit cargo ally, everyone is angry.In order to finance the independence of the Americans, France smashed the pot to sell iron. After the outbreak of the Anti-French War, the first major thing the US government did was to drop France.

Of course, Napoleon III returned in revenge. During the Civil War, the four countries of Anglo-French-Ossi pulled together and successfully split the United States.

Chancellor of the Exchequer Roy Vernon echoed: "The domestic economic situation is very bad, and even with the government's fiscal revenue falling sharply, our debt has reached a very dangerous point.

Maybe you did n’t pay attention. Now that we are already the world ’s highest debt government, we have to pay huge amounts of interest every month.

If this situation does not change, we may be bankrupted one day in the future."

In France, which has not fought a war, the government debt actually surpassed the Russian empire. It may be unbelievable to say it, but this is an indisputable fact.

As the first country in the world to rely on government investment to stimulate the economy, most of the time France has a fiscal deficit, and the accumulated deficit has become an astronomical figure.

In the short term, everyone's life has indeed improved, but it has also overdrawn the future.

Starting from the era of Napoleon III, with the transformation of Paris as the beginning, the government invested in infrastructure to stimulate the economy, and the French economy entered a golden age.

Originally this model can continue for many years, but unfortunately, the British and Austrian attacks on French finance not long ago, the value of the franc fell by a third.

Then came the economic crisis and civil war. A series of combined punches directly destroyed the French financial system and the Paris government's financing capacity declined.

In this context, the French government had to tighten their belts to live.

Napoleon IV nodded: "It is also impossible to withdraw from the free trade system. If the domestic economic situation improves, we can go back again.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs must gather as many allies as possible and share international pressure with us.

At the same time, we must also do a good job of explaining, let everyone understand the difficulties we face, and reduce the hostility of the international community to us."

Withdrawing from the free trade system would be a big offense to the two countries, and they would be isolated diplomatically for a while.

Anyway, they are used to it. If they want to be isolated, they are isolated, and a piece of meat is indispensable.

If you continue to stay in the free trade system, you will have to be sheared for a long time.

Perhaps one day, the two countries felt that the rate of return on wool reduction was too low and they began to eat lamb.

The world is so wonderful. Under the impetus of interest, France has to stand with the guy who is not good.

Of course, compared with the "Sacred Alliance", it was all pediatrics.

When the United States of America is excluded, it is because the PR of the Federal Republic has done a good job and is at ease to serve as a source of raw materials and a dumping market for commodities. Powers naturally welcome this kind of younger brother who can bring benefits and have a correct attitude.

In essence, everyone is still in the cultural circle. Even if they do n’t look good, it ’s just because of their interests.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Foreign Secretary Terence Burkin replied depressively
