Holy Roman Empire

Prime Minister Carl: "Can't hold it, then it can only be suppressed.

After so many years in the Russian-Austrian League, the Russians have gained too many benefits. If they are not satisfied, there is no need to continue ... "

The conflict between Russia and Austria is only a matter of time. People ’s desires are always unsatisfactory. Austria cannot always satisfy the Russians ’desires.

Despite preparations, Franz did not expect to come so fast.

Now it is only the French who are shot, and it is so troublesome; if the British are involved later, things will be more difficult.

Basically, it is certain that as long as Britain and France are willing to invest their blood, it will be a matter of time before the Russians get rid of it, because Austria can no longer afford it.

This is determined by the geographical location, Austria blocked the Russians' westward path, and the Vienna government has no way to continue to make concessions on this issue.

Once the international situation has changed greatly, the huge debt between Russia and Austria is also one of the factors that induces the two countries to turn their backs.

If you ca n’t afford the foreign debt, you will kill the creditors. This kind of thing has a precedent in continental Europe.In the Russian ethos, Franz was not surprised.

The Foreign Minister Weisenberg shook his head and smiled: "Things are not so bad. Now there are three main reasons that hinder the Russians from turning back:

First, the British and French have not given enough attention, the price for the Russians is not high enough, and the chips for betrayal are not enough;

The second is that Russia and Austria have continued the friendship of three generations since the period of the Anti-French War. From the civilians to the government, the pro-Austrian faction has taken advantage

The third is the economic and trade exchanges between the two countries. Once they are on the opposite side, the new Russian national industry will be devastated.

If these three problems cannot be solved, they will at most ease the relationship, and the Russian-Austrian alliance can still continue.

Judging from the current situation, the French just want to separate the Russian-Austrian alliance, and they have not reached the point where they will pull the Russians to fight us.

Even if the British and French shot together, the Russians would not be defeated for a while.I can say responsibly that the Russians do not want to see us on the battlefield."

This explanation relieved many people that it was almost impossible to solve three major problems at the same time.

Especially in the latter two, Russia-Austria relations are friendly. It has been through three generations and six monarchs have been determined together.

Politicians can change their positions at any time, but it is not possible for people to change their positions.

The group of "pro-Austrians" is not just a flicker, but a tangible interest binding.

Once Russia and Austria turn their backs, this group will become the biggest victims.On the contrary, there is also a pro-Russian faction in Austria, these are all vested interests of Russia-Austria friendship.

When it comes to interests, one must not be able to persuade one's mouth.If the tsarist government wants to turn around, it must first suppress the pro-Austrian faction in China.

The problems in the industrial system are even more troublesome, and even with the help of Britain and France, it will not be able to correct them in three to five years.

If Austria suddenly blocks the Russians, it will take less than half a year for most of the factories in Russia to shut down due to mechanical problems.

Of course, many people do not realize this.After all, there is no precedent in this respect, and no one knows how to control a country ’s industry, and it is possible to start with spare parts for mechanical equipment.

On the issue of building a safe moat, Franz is still satisfied. With so many protections, it can be much more reliable than the original German Empire in space and time.

From the current point of view, as long as Austria does not engage in irritating things, the three countries of Britain, France, and Russia will never be able to unite.

The French felt the threat of Austria and needed to get the Russians to share the pressure, but the problem is that the British now feel the pressure of the Russians?

As for Austria, although it is a little stronger and a little more active, it has not violated their core interests.

In the eyes of most British people, French talents are Britain's biggest enemy, Russians are the second enemy, Austria ranks at most four or five, and there are nasty Americans ahead.

This ranking has no substantive value, and there are too many national emotions in it.

On the eve of the outbreak of World War I, the biggest enemy in the minds of the British people was France, so it is not without reason that John Bull pulled the allies in the world war and dug pits and buried mines after the war.

After weighing the pros and cons, Franz said slowly: "Since there is no situation within a short period of time within the controllable range, then wait for the shot.

The Ministry of Agriculture first made preparations, and once the French ranch plan yielded results, it promoted new potash fertilizers and paid directly to the bottom of the pot."

Since Austria can't make money in grain production, no one wants to make money.

Synthetic ammonia needs to be produced in large quantities, and there are technical difficulties. It is not difficult to mine potassium mines buried in the ground.

Phosphate fertilizers have already appeared. It is easy to add another potash fertilizer. There is too much to guarantee. It is easy to increase the existing output by more than ten percentage points.

It is not realistic to promote to the whole world, but it is still very promising to increase food production in most parts of Europe within three to five years.

Needless to say, the outbreak of the agricultural crisis was appropriate, and even worse than ever.

The open-minded French people have always been at the forefront of world agriculture, and are still keen to promote chemical fertilizers.

The increase in the production of French local agriculture by more than a few percentage points, coupled with the contribution of colonial farms, the domestic food is basically enough. The Paris government ca n’t suppress its own agriculture and create a market for the Russians.

The agricultural crisis broke out, international food prices collapsed, and the French defaulted. I wonder if the tsarist government can withstand this double blow. Franz has already paid tribute to Alexander III in advance.

After being sternly put together, the Russians will definitely take revenge. This is Austria's opportunity.

It does n’t matter whether it ’s interests or strategy, it ’s people who decide all of this.As long as it is a person, it is inevitable to be influenced by personal perception, and it is impossible to achieve 100% reason.

There is no harm in flickering, how can you know if you do n’t try it?In case of success, it is profitable; if it fails, nothing happens, anyway, the face is thick and fearless.

...

With the order of Franz, the Ministry of Agriculture was busy."Pot fertilizer" was not found one day or two days, but the relevant news was blocked by Franz.

At present, only agricultural experts are studying in the experimental area, and it is not used in agricultural production. The Secretary of Agriculture, Halls, also only heard his name.

After receiving the report, Halls knew the specific components of this thing.

The demand for potash fertilizer in agriculture can be called massive. This is not something that can be filled with a little grass and ash, so let's talk about finding a mine!

According to Franz ’s memory, it can be known that the grass ash is equivalent to the weakened version of potash fertilizer, which all benefited from the news that the burning of wheat straw was prohibited before crossing.

So this result is to allow scientists to study the ingredients in grass ash beneficial to agricultural production, and then go to nature to compare and find.

Franz does not know what the potash looks like, let alone the specific distribution area.

However, this is a small problem. The Austrian government has a habit of statistical resources. However, any minerals found will be registered and used regardless of their usefulness.

Knocking on the door of the Mining Bureau, Hols is not calm, according to the data, Austria is actually a potassium-poor country.

"Director Rogers, can't an Austrian university in NuoDa even find several large potash mines?

If you look at the information above, it hasn't been updated in seven or eight years, can't you have more ... "

At the first level of the National People's Congress, even though he was not a direct leader, Rogers lost his temper in the face of the chattering agriculture minister.

Patience explained: "Your Excellency, Potash Mine is not an important resource. Naturally, the Mining Bureau has not organized any manpower to detect it.

These discoveries are all accidental discoveries by the expedition team. The above reserves are only a preliminary estimate and do not represent real reserves.

If the Ministry of Agriculture needs it, we can send people to carry out detailed exploration to determine the final reserves."

This is also impossible. There are too many types of ores in nature.Even if it is a unified ore, different characteristics may appear because of the different content.

The common ores are naturally recognizable by the prospecting team. It is common for some niche mines to be misjudged. There are even thousands of mines in the archives where the type of ore cannot be determined and the label is unknown.

Of course, these thousands of unknown mines are not equal to thousands of unknown ores.

The exploration team didn't know that there were only two reasons, either it was a rare mine that was extremely rare but had no use value in a short period of time, or a mineral that had not been discovered by humans.

For the Bureau of Mines, sometimes too large a site is also a burden.The number of large and small mines registered in Austria has long been hundreds of thousands.

Mines with economic value can not be developed, and anyone who can take care of the "potassium mine" with little value, it will be normal if the Mining Bureau is not concerned.

Hols nodded: "Then hurry up, anyway, you have to find enough potassium mine for me in three years or so.

Without excuses, I do n’t believe that the Austrian Empire at the University of Nuovo has even a few potash mines."
