Holy Roman Empire

Seeing the two resignations in his hand, Franz could only sigh helplessly.

Years are not forgiving, and can't be changed by manpower.

Marshal Radkis is 91 years old, and at this time in history he received a box lunch. It's actually almost fast now, and although it is nominally the chief of staff, it was actually in retirement three years ago.

Anyway, the chief of staff only had a high weight during the war. In peacetime, it was mainly to formulate strategies. There were not many specific matters. Franz retained the position of old marshal.

Apparently, Marshal Radsky was unwilling to hang around, and found that his body couldn't hold it, and he resigned to Franz every thirty minutes.

The wording is also getting fiercer and fierce, and if they don't approve, they will have to abruptly assume office. After hesitating, Franz reluctantly approved his resignation.

If Marshal Radsky's resignation makes him more emotionally uncomfortable, then Metternich's resignation will really give him a headache.

The Minister of Foreign Affairs is not a false title. This is one of the three major positions that can go hand in hand with the Prime Minister and the Minister of Finance.

Metternich is also 85 years old, and obviously can't support it at this age. At present most of the affairs of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs are managed by the deputy, and he only asks about important matters.

Two years ago, Franz gave him special approval. He can work at his own time and work at any location. He doesn't need to report on his vacation.

After sighing, Franz had to accept the departure of two old ministers. Maybe not two, but three, and Archduke Louis was about to leave.

Franz was sure he would not stay as long as Metternich left. Eighty or so people, political opponents who have fought for decades, have left, and why are they still there?

The ability of this man cannot be compared with the previous two. He can only be regarded as a neutral person, even a little mediocre. But when Franz provoked the contradiction between the bourgeoisie and the aristocracy, this was his supporter.

There are many issues in politics that can't be seen on the surface. At the time, Archduke Louis had carried Franz's back. For this reason he also sacrificed a son during the Vienna rebellion.

Leaving aside ability, people's loyalty is still high enough. In these years, Franz has drawn the hatred of the capitalists and unswervingly led the aristocratic group to suppress the bourgeoisie.

Without them, domestic capitalists would not be so honest. Not to mention, the labor protection law will not be enforced, child labor will not return to campus, and domestic class conflicts will not be suppressed.

There is no way to balance the country. In the era of rapid economic development, the strength of the bourgeoisie naturally increased sharply. Without restraint, these people would have suffocated the domestic smoke.

The accumulation of primitive capital is bloody. These people are still in the stage of profit-seeking. They don't care what lives and lives.

To ensure domestic stability, Franz had to add chains to them.

And this chain also needs someone to implement it. The executor cannot be the emperor, and the conservatives have acted as this knife.

The effect is also quite obvious. After the restraint, the capitalists know that the height and height of the sky are high, and the food is finally better.

Franz won't listen to them blindly talking about any increase in labor costs and weakening market competitiveness. In fact, this is mostly used to flicker people.

Speaking of labor costs, why not compare it with English and French counterparts? As a major exporter of agricultural products, the cost of living in Austria is lower than in Britain and France.

Obviously, it is only for profiteering that it violates the law. It is said that it is caused by market competition. To promote high labor costs, we also need to compare to know.

In this era, Britain and France are qualified to compare with Austria, and these two have advantages over Austria.

If the labor cost is higher than that of the bear, then it must not be said. Other factories are using serfs free of charge. Can't they drive back in history?

Franz can responsibly say that the investment industry is still in the golden stage in this era, and those with a gross profit of less than 30% are all types that can be eliminated.

Even if the profits increase tenfold, the capitalists still feel that the profits are low. Franz is very aware of this, he also thinks that the return on mining gold is low!

The biggest negative textbook is English and French. After the Second Industrial Revolution broke out, their industrial production fell behind.

The reason for the drop is not because of technology, nor because of the market. The actual reason is very ridiculous. Why do you have to work hard if you can make money by lying down?

Anyway, they have cheaper raw materials, have a rich market, and make money without technological innovation.

In terms of benefits, replacement of machinery and equipment also requires investment. Every day in a fast-changing era, machinery and equipment are updated at a fast pace. In order to maximize their benefits, they simply do not change.

Instead, the German empire, which has higher labor costs and higher raw material costs, is forced by fierce competition in the market. They have to promote technological innovation. Only new technologies can make them survive.

Over time, Britain and France, which have absolute advantages, have been overtaken.

If there is no pressure for survival, Franz is very skeptical that Austria will follow in the footsteps of Britain and France. Once everyone has developed this bad habit, it will be difficult to correct it.

Even for these people, in order to have a cheaper labor force, they will promote some wonderful policies. There is no concept of national interest in their heads.

Not only must we guard against the fall of the capitalists, but we must also guard against the fall of the nobles. People are the same. Once there is no pressure, it is easy to fall.

For Franz, the fall of the aristocracy was more terrible than the fall of the capitalists. This is the basis of his rule. Once problems arise in this class, the rule will be unstable.

These talents are really tied to the emperor, with their roots in Austria, and the cost of betrayal is quite high. It is impossible to learn from capitalists, as long as they see greater benefits, they will betray them.

The current overseas colonial movement and the domestic civil service examination system have provoked the contradiction between the nobility and the bourgeoisie. In fact, these are putting pressure on the nobility.

Let them know that if you don't work hard today, you will be replaced by others tomorrow. In the face of cruel reality, many nobles on the verge of bankruptcy or bankruptcy have become the vanguard of colonization.

In order not to let the domestic elite fall, Franz also broke his heart. Many policies are based on this issue.

...

The following personnel adjustments gave Franz a headache again.

The position of chief of staff is best, and there are many candidates, and there are many qualified people.

Anyway, at the later stage, the competition is national strength, the comprehensive national strength goes up, and the opponent is directly killed by strength, which is the most reliable strategy and tactics.

The successor of the foreign minister has also been cultivated, although the ability is not as good as Metternich, and it is also higher than the average level of various countries.

In essence, diplomacy is also built on national strength. Weak countries have no diplomacy, and if there is no strength, no powerful diplomat can do anything.

Instead, the Home Secretary is more troublesome. In order to balance domestic politics, this person must be of conservative origin and possess certain abilities to convince everyone and to act in accordance with Franz's will.

A large number of people who meet one of them alone can meet all the conditions, and there are few in the entire Vienna government.
