Holy Roman Empire

The turbulent international environment has not affected Austria's Near East development plan, and all work is being carried out in an orderly manner.

In the first quarter alone, the Vienna government immigrated 128,000 people from the mainland to the Near East. Nearly half of them were newly-raised military farmers.

Everyone is very active in developing their own land.If they were not worried about the existence of the "Black Death", the government would stop it and they would have passed.

After all, if you develop one day earlier, you can harvest one day earlier.Generally speaking, the earliest immigrants are given preferential treatment and land can be selected in advance.

It is still in the 19th century, and the gap between industrial and agricultural scissors is far less than that of future generations. The overall background of food shortage in the world has not been improved, especially in the Asia-Pacific region where food is most scarce.

Agriculture is still an industry with a “money path”, especially in the context of the explosion of European population, international food prices have begun to climb slowly again.

In fact, Austria, the world's largest agricultural exporter, is also the largest food importer.

This is an increase in market demand brought about by population growth. After the domestic food meets its own needs, the quantity of exports that can be used to reduce it is greatly reduced.

Under this background, agricultural product processing enterprises engaged in international trade have to import raw grain from overseas in order to ensure the smooth delivery of orders.

This situation actually occurred during the period of the Russo-Prussian War.The Government of Vienna was once ready to lift the restrictions on the colonies, and liberalize the grain cultivation and export of the African continent.

Just considering the political influence, was stopped by Franz.Instead, it imported grain from the Russian Empire, processed it for further processing, and then exported it.

In a sense, the food policy of the Vienna government retained the tsarist government.

Otherwise, there will be one more grain production area in Africa, the international grain price will drop sharply, and the Russian agricultural system, which is expensive to plant, will be the first to suffer the disaster.

It may even happen that international food prices are upside down. After losing this source of money, it is still unknown whether the tsarist government can sustain it.

Of course, the food policy of the Vienna government is not just for the Russians.International food prices have fallen, and the biggest loss is still Austria, the world's largest agricultural exporter.

The Austrian political system determines that the government must stabilize agriculture. Once the international food price collapses, the government can only subsidize grain growers.

It is a common practice in later generations, and it is still a little early.

The government of Vienna is not so rich and rich, and it can obviously make a lot of profits every year. Why should it be a loss-making business?

Even if it is to suppress the Russians, it is not now.At this time, the knife was stabbed in the back, and the tsarist government might be finished early.

It is far safer to be a neighbor to a tsarist government that is sliding into the abyss than to deal with an unknown existence.

The consequence of overturning the table is that the pro-Olympic tsarist government is finished, and Austria has also suffered heavy losses, benefiting only the major grain importers in Europe.

Cheap food imports will reduce the cost of industrial and commercial production in various countries, thereby enhancing the competitiveness of industrial and commercial products.

Purely a vicious cycle of asking for trouble, once opened the advantages of Austria itself, will be greatly weakened.

Vienna Palace

The maid said softly, "Your Majesty, the cause of the fainting of the Prime Minister has been found. It is said that the brain has insufficient blood supply.

The doctor recommends more rest and recuperation.This is the resignation submitted by the Prime Minister. Please review it."

This may not be a serious illness in later generations, but it is very fatal in this era, and it belongs to the kind of disease that may die at any time.

Without special drugs, even controlling the condition is very difficult.The only thing that can be done is to recuperate and then expect God to bless.

After receiving the resignation from the maid, after a cursory look, Franz did not immediately reply.

After sighing, he ordered: "Get the car, I'm going out of the palace."

"Yes, Your Majesty!" The maid replied

Today, Prime Minister Felix is ​​also a flag of Austria.

Even if he is unable to perform the job of the prime minister, as long as he hangs his name and shows up from time to time, he can stabilize the hearts of the people.

Especially for the great German nationalists, Prime Minister Felix is ​​their spiritual leader and has been working hard to unify in the German region.

Since 1853, Felix will visit the states of the German region almost every year to discuss the issue of "peaceful reunification".

After all these years, no small results have been achieved.Although the real unification is still far away, everyone has come together economically and culturally.

A customs union is a must. No one can reject Austria ’s big market, and the economic prosperity of North Germany cannot be separated from Austria ’s support.

As of now, Aegis can freely circulate in the German region without any restrictions, and even there are 16 states within the North German Empire, listing Aegis as the only legal currency.

Cultural exchange groups are numerous.People in any state can freely travel and work in the German region, and no visa is required.

As the founder of all this, Prime Minister Felix was naturally embraced by all nationalists.

...

"Your Majesty, you are here again."

A familiar voice rang in the ears of Franz.

Seeing Felix trembling while walking, Franz knew that there was no more Austrian Prime Minister here now, and there was only one old man left in the wind.

"Ok!"

There were only a thousand words in my heart when I came.

Felix laughed: "You shouldn't be here. Every time you go out of the palace, you will send an old friend away, as if I were about to see God soon."

This is a joke and a fact.As an emperor, Franz didn't need to visit the minister. If he went, he would basically see the last one.

Feeling embarrassed and touching his nose, Franz refused to say weakly: "Save it, God, his old man is busy, and I haven't seen you yet!"

After more than thirty years of getting along, the two are both princes and friends.

Especially after Felix experienced a life and death, the way the two got along became more casual. At this moment, friends have more than kings.

Judging from Felix's performance, Franz understands that he is determined to withdraw from politics, and it is impossible to continue to retain.

Although the European world princes are not as strict as the East, but the etiquette and rules are still indispensable. Keeping the distance properly is the way to get along.

It is impossible for a mature politician to make this kind of mistake. Only after abandoning the relationship between monarchs and officials can he be so casual.

Felix nodded: "This is best, but you still don't want to come. I want to live to see the unification of the German region!"

Obsession?Perhaps it is true that anyone who has done a job for more than thirty years in a row, and suddenly leaves, will have feelings.

As the finale, who does n’t want a brilliant ending?

However, Felix knew very well that the German region could not be unified in a short period of time. He could not promote the unification of the German region in desperation for his own obsession.

Prior to this, Felix always thought that he could accomplish the great cause of the unification of the German region in his own hands, and subconsciously ignored the issue of his age.

The sudden illness made him awake.In the age of more than 40 years of life expectancy, Felix is ​​85 years old, which is equivalent to spending the life of two ordinary people.

Years are not forgiving, and the body of Feng Zhun's remnant years forced him to bow his head.

Perhaps with the merits of the past, even if he cannot perform his duties, Felix can still stay in the position of prime minister, but his inherent pride does not allow him to do so.

In the past, Felix was the one who hated the "those who do not do things in the position of hegemony". In the prime minister's term, he has been cracking down on empty-mouthed behavior.

Over the years, at least more than four figures of officials have been driven home.

In order not to become the person he hated the most, Felix did not give Franz the opportunity to save.

Looking at this proud, stubborn old man, Franz shrugged helplessly: "If you don't come, you won't come. I'm like a disaster star.

However, if you want to see the reunification of the German region, then you can't sit idle and go to the German unified organization to guide the work of the little guys."

This time Felix did not reject Franz's good intentions. Was it so simple to give up power?If it wasn't for his body, he would not retreat so early.

Felix joked: "I will go! But to unify the German region, it is mainly the government's business.

Your Majesty, hurry up.Otherwise, one day God is free, and if you want to call me up, you can only watch in the sky."

Franz rolled his eyes to see if life and death did not exist.Maybe when I was young, I did n’t feel much about it, but once I got older, I felt more valuable in life.

The pretended humorous reply: "Relax, before you celebrate your 100th birthday, the German region will definitely be unified."

Deep down, Franz was not calm.Fifteen years later, he has reached the age of Gulaixi in his life.
