Holy Roman Empire

On June 18, 1883, under the influence of the economic crisis, the United States of America announced its withdrawal from the free trade system and the implementation of tariff barriers.

Before the reaction of Britain and Austria to take action, on June 20, 1883, the French government also announced its withdrawal from the free trade system.

Affected by this, the free trade system operated by Britain and Austria has become precarious.

France and the United States are different. The latter has limited influence, and even the withdrawal from the free trade system has little effect, but France is different.

As one of the three major powers in the world, the impact of the French government's retreat is undoubtedly huge.

After receiving the news, the Vienna government was naturally furious, and only half of the harvest was done. The leek ran so quickly, it was really ...

Economic Minister Reinhardt Hardeghan: "Affected by the two countries' withdrawal from the free trade system, the Vienna stock market plunged 5.4% and the London stock market plunged 7.3%.

The import and export trade industry has been hit the hardest, generally falling by more than 15%. The Austrian stock market evaporated 310 million Aegis overnight, and the British stock market evaporated 520 million Aegis.

Financial fluctuations are bound to affect the physical industry.It happened so suddenly that domestic companies were not prepared.

Many companies that have trade relations with the two countries are preparing to lay off staff and reduce production capacity in response to the impact.

France is our third largest trading country. In the first half of this year, the total import and export trade amounted to 64.58 million Aegis. Affected by tariff barriers, this figure may be reduced by two-fifths in the second half of the year.

The United States of America is our seventh largest trading country. The total trade volume in the first half of this year was 10.76 million Aegis, which may be reduced by one third in the second half of the year.

The withdrawal of the two countries from the free trade system has little impact on us, and the trouble is that it has caused market panic.

If other countries follow up later, the panic will be further amplified, and it may even induce a stock market disaster again.

The Ministry of Economy recommends that immediate countermeasures be taken to deter other countries and avoid the collapse of the free trade system."

With the establishment of a free trade system, the capitalist world economy is getting closer and closer, and the world economy has become a whole body.

Trade protection is contagious. After everyone has adopted trade barriers, the two major import and export countries, Britain and Austria, will become the biggest victims.

Countermeasure is necessary, but how to countermeasure has become a problem.

Foreign Minister Weisenberg: "This is a big trouble, but the British should be more anxious than us.

The United States and France withdraw from the free trade system, and their losses are at least three times that of ours.

In addition to raising tariffs against the two countries, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs does not recommend excessive measures. It is best to wait for the London government to take action before we follow up."

What?

the answer is negative!

International politics is the most realistic and pays equal attention to benefits and pay.Can't you get the money to eat cabbage and run to the heart of eating pork?

What is more important is that apart from the relative increase in tariffs, Austria really cannot help them.

After rubbing his forehead, Franz made a decision: "First stop the dumping strategy, and then continue to commit anger. If the French want trade protection, let them go!

International competition also has advantages and disadvantages. It seems that the French economy has been hit, but in recent years, France's technological progress has also been obvious to all.

If it continues, our technical advantage will soon be smoothed out.They want to close the door and play for themselves, then they will be all right.

The next task of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is to isolate them politically and make them a vigilant alternative to European countries."

This is both self-consolation and fact.In the international competition, French companies were forced to start technological innovation in order to survive, and made breakthrough progress in many fields.

This is something that cannot happen in the era of trade barriers.The pros and cons are difficult to generalize, but the French have withdrawn from the circle and are very helpful in promoting political isolation.

The country is similar to people. When everyone is in a circle, and you are alone outside the circle, you will naturally receive the strange eyes of others.

If someone provokes it again, it will be isolated or even hostile.

Don't care about other people's eyes, it is very easy to say.If you do it, you will slowly discover that it seems that the whole world is against you.

London

As the biggest beneficiary of the free trade system and the biggest victim of the French withdrawal, the British government naturally cannot ignore this happening.

Economic Secretary Cornell Bochers said with a sullen face: "The actions of the French and the Yankees have made our newly recovered economy a hit again.

The most frightening thing is that they have shaken the free trade system, and if there is no way to eliminate the impact, more countries will withdraw in the future because of their interests."

Britain was the first country to start playing free trade. In order to show sincerity to the outside world, for a long period of time, they all carried out free trade unilaterally.

Of course, it was built on Britain's powerful industrial system.Before Faw completed its industrialization, Britain's total industrial output exceeded the total of other countries in the world.

Even if trade is opened, everyone can only sell them grain and industrial raw materials, and industrial and commercial products simply cannot be sold here.

It seems that there is fair competition, but in fact there is no competition at all.It can be said that before the second revolution, the British industry and commerce had no opponents of sufficient weight in the world.

Foreign Secretary George proposed: "We can pull Austria together to impose trade sanctions on France and the United States.

The free trade system collapsed, not only us, but also Austria, the Vienna government should not refuse."

Chancellor of the Treasury Xiaozhi Childers shook his head: "Unless the Royal Navy can block all ports in France and the United States, I don't think the trade embargo has any substantial effect.

Of course, we can prevent their goods from entering Britain.But changing a product label really has no technical difficulty, and we can hardly recognize it.

I dare to guarantee that the result of the embargo will not have any effect except for the reduction in government revenue."

No way, the morale of the capitalists cannot stand the test.There is no way to supervise from the source. Based on everyone's consciousness, think about it and you will know what will happen.

"What is the reaction of the Vienna government?" Prime Minister Gladstone asked

Foreign Secretary George shrugged: "Their response was very negative. Apart from the tit-for-tat increase in the import tariffs on the two countries, the Austrians did not move.

It seems that the energy of the Vienna government is all focused on the great cause of the destruction of the Ottoman Empire, and it is not very interested in the withdrawal of the United States and France from the free trade system."

"Destruction of Ottoman" is another trouble. Without the buffer of the Ottoman Empire, the pressure on Britain in Persia will increase greatly.

Hearing the bad news, Gladstone's brows were tighter.After looking at the map, he said helplessly: "To restart the British-Austrian negotiations, we need the Austrians to guarantee the safety of Persia.

As for the two unruly guys of the United States and France, write down this account first, and then have the opportunity to settle with them slowly.

The Ministry of Economy can work out countermeasures outside the embargo and cooperate with Austrians when necessary.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs continues to do a good job of stabilizing other countries. We must ensure the stability of the free trade system."

Since the demise of the Ottoman Empire could not be prevented, it would have to be the next best thing to ensure the security of the Persian region.

Not long ago, the British and Austrian countries had already discussed this issue, but the issue was temporarily put on hold because of the lack of interest.

It cannot be dragged down now. After the Ottoman Empire dies, it will be even more unfavorable for Britain to negotiate.

In contrast, the United States, which is still a little fart, and the ambitious France are secondary issues.
