Holy Roman Empire
Chapter 229: Birth of Comedy Empire
After the Paris meeting, Franz left Nicholas I and left. The life of a drunken person is always easy to sink, and Franz does not want to test his willpower.
Looking at the situation and knowing autumn, judging from the corrupt life at the top of the Tsarist government, Franz knew that the Russian Empire was sick.
Many people are addicted to the glory of the past and cannot extricate themselves, and even the harsh situation of the Near East War has failed to wake them up.
"The problem of ringworm is not uncommon."
Since the Tsar government thinks so, Franz naturally has no obligation to remind them. An ally who is addicted to the glory of the past is a good ally.
On the way back, Franz has turned into a literary youth and started his literary creation. The far-reaching "Emperor's Poems" and "Emperor's Prose Collection" began to be created at this time.
In this respect Franz is still very disciplined, at least he did not find someone to bring a pen. Therefore, this output is naturally not high. From St. Petersburg to Vienna, two oil poems were born. I am really embarrassed to show them to people.
...
The country is miserable, the poet is lucky.
Affected by the Paris Conference forcibly splitting Germany, literary creations in the German region during this period presented a situation of blossoming flowers.
A large number of literati and writers have emerged during this period, such as: Arthur Schopenhauer, Gabel, Paul Heizer, Freiligrat, Herveg, Welt, Fontana, F. Greer Patzer, Franz Greer Patzer, Adalbert Steve ...
It can be said that in just a few months of the second half of 1853, the number of literary works emerging in the German region exceeded the total of the past five years.
Criticism became the mainstream of literary creation in this period. The new German Federal Empire sprayed dog blood. Of course, the Prussian government could not escape the writings of the literati, and even the Austrian government was not immune.
Facts have proved that the show is very useful. Compared with the previous two, the Austrian government suffered much less. After all, it is a place of hope for German unity. Everyone still shows mercy.
The new German federal empire is tragedy. Everyone does not recognize this as an empire. The main reason for naming it is that there are kingdoms in the states below.
The central government cannot be equal to the local government, and was artificially upgraded to an empire by the Paris Conference. Obviously, this "requires an empire" is not welcome.
...
Bremen
A middle-aged man said angrily: "Corbes, look at the newspaper. The world's largest comedy empire is about to be born, and we are one of them.
God, when did we agree to join this empire, how did I not know? This is simply too bad!
I dare not imagine that in the future people will ask me which country I am from, and then I tell him: I am a comedy empire, and the consequences are terrible! "
The birth of the German Federal Empire was originally a farce. It was ridiculed by Welt as "Comedy Empire", and everyone called it that.
Can a "Great Empire" with a population of less than 10 million and a territory of less than 100,000 square kilometers be a comedy?
Although the comedy empire is comedy, its overall national strength is not weak. It is only under the powers of several European powers, and its economic strength is on par with the Kingdom of Prussia.
But this was not enough to make him a true empire. If it became the Federal Kingdom of Germany, no one would probably object.
The bearded middle-aged man took the newspaper and scanned it, and then said without hesitation, "Fitla, it's just such a fart thing, is it worth your fuss?
At the Paris conference, the European nations decided unanimously. Do you still expect the government to refuse?
What is the joke afraid of? Even if the German region is divided into three, we still have two empires and one kingdom, which is unmatched by any country in the world! "
It seemed that Corbes's expression had betrayed his heart. He was not as relaxed as his mouth said, but only intentionally suppressed the anger and did not let it erupt.
In terms of overall national strength, a unified German region is the first in the world, and even the British cannot match it.
Obviously, this is impossible. No country in Europe is a fool. Who can tolerate the emergence of a Central European giant?
After the results of the Paris Conference came out, nationalists in the German region were silent, and the blow to them from reality was unimaginable.
Although everyone knows that European countries will oppose German regional unification, so many countries are putting pressure together to exceed their estimates.
Mourning is more than death, and many people are desperate and become indifferent to politics. Corbes is one of them.
However, this kind of indifference is only appearance. When he learned that the German Federal Empire was really established, he couldn't help but taunt a few words.
Fitra gave Corbes a stern glance, then sneered and said, "Enough, you coward, stop. As long as the Germans haven't died, the German region will one day be unified."
Both had passed the age of Secondary Two, and after being forcibly divided in the German region, they did not go to the streets to protest as young students did.
As the newspaper said, even if all the people in the German region came out to march and demonstrate together, the enemy could not see it and could only run wild in the nest.
Oh, this may be what the capitalists say, after all, it has affected their business.
Since the countries intervened in the process of German reunification, the business community has been mourning. The South German region is okay. The Austrian market is not small. There are also two markets in Italy and Russia.
The capitalists on the north side felt deeply malicious. After losing the market in the South German region, they will still face competition from British products in the future, which is simply driving them to the absolute end.
The same is true of Prussian business and industry. Since Austria accelerated industrialization, their market has been snatched away, and everyone's life is not very good.
Now it is even harder. The market on the north side will be impacted by British goods, and the market on the south side will have trade barriers.
Affected by the market, after the reform of the Kingdom of Prussia in 1848, the economy of the Kingdom of Prussia has not improved significantly, but there are signs of continued deterioration.
This is not because the capitalists did not work hard, but because of reality. In the history of the Prussian Kingdom's reform, it also reduced military expenditures, suppressed military expenditures to less than 25%, and invested the funds in national construction.
Now, due to the impact of the international situation, it is necessary to take precautions against Russia and Austria. Prussian military expenditure has risen without falling. In this context, let alone invest in domestic construction, thank the government for not arbitrarily conquering it.
Facing the increasingly severe economic situation, Frederick-William IV had a headache, but unfortunately he was not expected to develop the economy. If it was the development of armaments, he might even have a say.
Looking at the uniform military cabinet, it is difficult to develop the economy. "Reform" reappeared in the mind of Frederick William IV.
...
Vienna
Franz, who has just returned to China, will face three problems.
First, the placement of the Bavarian royal family;
Second, the issue of country names;
Third, the governance of newly-added territories.
Since returning to the Palace of Vienna, his mother, Empress Sophie, has often swayed in front of him, and occasionally raised questions about marriage.
Although I didn't directly talk about the Bavarian royal family, the meaning was already obvious. Anyway, I have to give an account?
What is it like for them to be under house arrest now? Where does this leave the empress's face?
Even two little lollies often come and haunt him. If you don't give a word, we will cry to show you.
Well, Franz did this injustice. It was good to change them to a throne, and it has been dragged on until now, but this problem has not been implemented.
...
In order to get rid of the days of harassment, at the state conference, Franz reluctantly said: "Everyone, you can let other issues go first, first find a good place for the Bavarian royal family?"
The Prime Minister Felix thought for a while and said, "His Majesty, the Kingdom of Bavaria also has a province of Pulfatz, and this time also lost to the German Confederation. Simply restore the status of the Principality of Pulfatz and allow the Bavarian royal family to succeed the Grand Duchy.
Metternich objected: "It is inappropriate, we have promised to guarantee the throne of the Bavarian royal family, and now we must appease the public, and recklessness can easily lead to change."
The Prime Minister Felix shook his head and said, "I don't want to regret it. The problem is to let them inherit the throne of Serbia, and the Bavarian royal family does not agree.
How is Maximilian II now fearless and wanting a wealthy land to continue as king? "
Metternich asked: "Serbia is a barren land than the Greek kingdom. For the investment of the Greek throne and the Bavarian royal family, it has not been recovered for so many years. How can they accept the throne of Serbia?"
Now Serbia is not a good place. Due to the effects of the war, the local population has fallen to less than 700,000, and most of them are old, weak, and sick. Young men between the ages of 16 and 40 were exhausted by the Ottomans.
The economy is totally dependent on agricultural production. It can be said that this nominal kingdom is actually not as good as a province in Bavaria.
If you become the king of Serbia, it is estimated that the fiscal revenue here will not be able to make ends meet for a long time.
Maximilian II's ambitions have been wiped out, and he does not want to suffer this bitterness.
...
Looking at the controversy, Franz proposed: "What if we split the Lombard-Venesia Kingdom and restore the Kingdom of Lombardy to Maximilian II's succession?"
Chancellor of the Exchequer Carl objected: "Your Majesty, the Lombardy region has a developed economy and accounts for nearly one-tenth of our fiscal revenue. If we make it independent, we will lose a lot."
Franz shook his head and said, "It's not about making this place independent. First, Maximilian II flew over to take over the throne, and give the Bavarian people an account.
Then the central government passed the constitution, got the local personnel appointment and removal power, and the financial power, and let him receive the annuity in peace. "
Independence? Dream it! As a foreigner, without the support of Austria, why did Maximilian II rule the area?
Expecting the Italians to support him as a king, Franz does not believe that Maximilian II has this personality charm, and can still be so downcast now.
Chancellor of the Exchequer Carl thought for a while and said, "If Lombardy is not allowed to be independent and only Maximilian II is supported, then it is not a big problem."
The thing of 1.8 million dong is really not worth mentioning. This money must be spent for long-lasting peace in Bavaria.
Metternich said with anxiety: "Your Majesty, if Maximilian II is to become King of Lombardy, I am afraid that countries such as Britain and France will spur local independence."
independent? Frankly, Franz never cared about Italian independence. In terms of development potential, the local area cannot possibly become the core of Austria.
There are now more than 6 million Italians in the Austrian Empire, and the proportion of this population is already very high. Nationalism in Italy has been awakened, and the long-term rule of these people is also a huge challenge.
At present, the Austrian government will not give up Lombardy-Venesia, the main reason is still-the interests, so the government paid a large price for local assimilation.
If the cost of dominance outweighs the benefits, Franz is likely to have made them independent. After all, these regions are scarce of resources, and local industrial products are gradually losing their competitiveness.
Before the westward strategy began, the Austrian government was planning for the worst at the cost of abandoning the Kingdom of Lombardy-Venesia in exchange for recognition of Austria's annexation of the South German region.
Unexpectedly, the British and French launched the Crimean War, which caused them to be unable to send troops to interfere in a short period of time, and these areas were preserved.
Franz shook his head and said, "Even without this king, our enemies did not forget to plan for local independence.
According to our plan, to change wheat to mulberry, it will not be long before the local food is completely dependent on Austria.
Over time, the local textile industry will rise in the future. If they leave Austria, where will they go to find the market? "
If the Italian region is to last long, the Austrian government has also studied it. The answer is: food control, economic dependence.
