Although the British government did not follow up directly, they entered the parliamentary noisy mode, which scared many people.
A little bit politically aware knows who this is for.
Once the British and French food consumption markets are lost, Austria ’s total exports will drop by one-sixth.
Agriculture-led Russians are even more miserable. It is God's blessing to keep half of trade exports.
Under the fierce market competition, Russian agriculture with backward productivity will directly lose its market competitiveness because of the relationship between production costs.
However, the Tsarist government did not dare to promote new agricultural technology, because the production capacity does not equal the income, the grain cannot be sold, and even the highest output is in vain.
Even the industrial upgrading, the tsarist government did not dare to engage, which is similar to Austria in the last agricultural crisis.
Limited by the level of domestic economic development, Franz must take a little time to develop animal husbandry, for fear of overcapacity in animal husbandry again.
The development of Austria's animal husbandry industry has only recently emerged in the last two or three years. The main reason is that because of economic development, people's purchasing power has increased.
There is market demand first, and then there is commodity production. This order must not be reversed, otherwise there will be a mess.
The tsarist government was in a hurry, and the Vienna government was in a hurry. It's just that the Russians are really anxious. The Vienna government is just doing it.
Diplomatic slogans shook the ground, the government's operations were fierce for a while, but the actual effect was 0.5, which seemed like it was in a mess.
For example: After the French announced the ranch plan, the Vienna government announced that it would suspend the qualification examination and approval of agricultural product processing enterprises.
Upon learning that the British parliament began to discuss whether to follow up, the Vienna government once again issued a notice on agricultural transformation, suggesting that the public reduce the area of food cultivation in order to respond to the agricultural crisis.
The immediate sequela is that the stock prices of domestic agricultural companies have plummeted, and even some food production companies with little influence have also been implicated.
Of course, not long after the economic crisis passed, the current stock price is not high, and it will not fall anywhere.
To put it bluntly, the French have only announced a plan. The specific implementation of the plan has not yet been understood by the Paris government.
Capitalists refuse to invest, and they have to buy and sell at the government's own expense, but it's not that simple.
Everyone has no experience on how to operate. The government directly sends officials to manage, which will greatly increase the administrative cost, and corruption is also a big problem.
If in the end the sky-high price of grain is made and the people can't afford it, it will be in trouble.
Contracting to the capitalists may seem simple, but the problem is the capitalist ’s ethics, which is really hard to reassure.
Taking an empty shell project, cheating the government's subsidies, and finally importing cheap grain from abroad to fill the pit, the Paris government is in the wrong.
Supervision is simple to say, but the problem is that the farm was built in a colony. Although the French government manages it directly, the distant place of the emperor is destined to have insufficient control of the central government.
In addition to management issues, the indigenous people in the colony are also a headache. French Africa is not Austrian Africa, most of the land is owned.
You ca n’t avoid it. You ca n’t keep the farms in deserted deserts, right?
Desert agriculture is still in the research stage in the 21st century, and the French can't open it this year.
Direct deportation will not work either, and a bad colony will have to smoke again. With the lessons learned from the Egyptian rebellion, the French government had to be cautious.
After all, the indigenous rebels are easy to deal with, and the indigenous rebels with external support are different. If there were several more Egyptian rebellions, the French government would have no money for a ranch project.
So many problems need to be considered. If a operation is not good, the French ranch plan will become a laughing stock.
Not to mention the British, as anyone who knows a little about the British Parliament knows that it is possible to unify opinions in a year and a half, and that is to play at a super level.
This kind of grand strategy is possible after three years and five years. Especially the major food-producing countries have already mobilized their own forces to lobby the British Parliament.
Many people are still looking forward to a comeback, and some even believe that Britain and France are just selling prices and using the "grain self-sufficiency plan" to force Russia and Austria to make concessions in international politics.
Many people support this statement, including many within the UK and France, many people think so.
Vienna Palace, with the advent of the British and French "grain self-sufficiency plan", Franz also felt the pressure.
From the private sector to the government, there is a call to negotiate disputes with Britain and France.
After all, this is a confidential plan, except for a few high-level people, who know nothing about it, and this kind of thing is almost inevitable.
Affected by this, on August 16, 1885, the government of Vienna also paid a note to the British and French envoys in Austria and conducted an in-depth communication.
After the Vienna government deliberately revealed a hint of compromise and concession, it thought that it had found the English and French weaknesses of Austria, and naturally the lion opened his mouth.
Then there is no more, no talk, no talk. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Vienna is in a state of anxiety and paddling. It has done a lot of work, and it is still tough in the actual negotiations.
Franz had trouble channeling: "Russians will withdraw from the free trade system, is the news certain?"
The French have withdrawn from the free trade system, and the United States has also withdrawn from the free trade system. If the Russians withdraw from the free trade system, it is estimated that this thing will be dead.
Foreign Minister Weisenberg nodded: "To be precise, the Russians are only showing signs of withdrawal, and may also be the guise of the tsarist government.
Yesterday afternoon, Alexander III summoned the British Minister in Russia and conducted a business on Britain's food self-sufficiency plan, which ended in displeasure.
This morning, the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a note to Britain, warning the London government not to play with fire, accusing the British of food self-sufficiency plan that seriously damaged the free trade system.
If the British do not abandon the food self-sufficiency plan, then the Russian Empire will impose trade sanctions on Britain. "
It may be possible to undermine the free trade system. Anyway, it depends on who stands.
Theoretically, as long as the British did not raise tariffs and resorted to political means to suppress competitors, but adopted fair competition to achieve a food self-sufficiency plan, that would be in keeping with the spirit of free trade.
Of course, criticizing the British government for investing in agriculture and interfering with the normal development of the market violates the "freedom" principle, which is justified.
After all, Britain advertises "absolute freedom", and you must be responsible for what you say.
But on this issue, the Russians can say that Austria has no say.
From the beginning to the end, Franz never said anything about this issue. It ’s not that it ’s not obvious that the problem is that Austria has gone too far.
Is n’t it just a state-owned farm? Are there too few things in Austria? Really thought that during the last agricultural crisis, Austria's grain production capacity dropped rapidly, that is, the people voluntarily reduced the grain planting area?
too naive!
Tens of millions of farmers, at most one-tenth of those under the government's call, cut some of their production capacity, and the rest is still how to do it and how to continue it.
It ’s not a question of not being obedient. The key is not to grow food. What are they allowed to grow?
Economic crops are simple to say, but that also requires technology. If you don't sow the seeds, you will definitely gain something.
Food prices will fall at most. If you ca n’t sell them, you can keep your own food or feed the animals.
Cash crops, once they are judged by mistakes and cannot be sold, they can only be rotten.
The encouragement and promotion of the government also promoted the cultivation of vegetables in the surrounding areas of the city.
It ’s not a question you want or not. The key point is that Austria is a market economy, not a planned economy, and the government does not know the demand for every cash crop on the market.
Rather than handing over decision-making power to the bureaucracy and making it resentful, Franz would rather let the people continue to grow food.
The big problem of adjusting production capacity is to be handed over to state-owned farms. I really don't know what to plant, and the big deal is to let the land fallow for a few more years.
After thinking for a while, Franz asked: "What is the chance of the British compromising?"
It was not easy to flick the British to the edge of the cliff, and they nearly kicked them off the door. Franz didn't want the British to be pulled back again.
Others do not know that as long as the British start the food self-sufficiency plan, they will start a long-term loss mode, which is even worse than the French.
Restricted by the free trade system, Britain must import the food of all countries equally, and continue the low tariffs that are now almost zero.
This means that it is impossible for Britain to support a younger brother as a granary and push Austrian agricultural products out of the market.
Opening a farm in a colony seems to be no difficulty for the British, but in fact the cost is not low.
The first is the population. Australia, New Zealand, Canada and other regions are all typical of a large area with few people.
Even mechanical agriculture requires a lot of labor. At least before the construction of water conservancy projects and the improvement of road traffic, the demand for labor cannot be low.
From the domestic recruitment of labor, the labor cost alone is enough to make the British government hurt and amortize the cost of food production, which is absolutely sky-high.
Without barriers, the more this kind of food is grown, the more you lose. It is estimated that after a few years of compensation, the British people will realize that there is no
money way
to grow food.
When the opposition party comes to power, it will cut off this money-losing strategy and leave a bunch of bad projects to prove the incompetence of the previous government.
Of course, India has a large population and fertile land, which is very suitable for agricultural production; the problem is that there are too many Indians. It is a problem to develop agriculture here and feed the locals.
It is estimated that the food produced will be eaten up without waiting for domestic support. It is not impossible to give priority to satisfying the country. The key is that you are very hungry, and you have to rebel.
The planting of cotton in the front caused a major uprising, and now there are two newly moved neighbors in Russia and Austria. At this time, the British government will not dare to toss about.
After pondering for a while, Weisenberg replied slowly: "Half to half!"
Although the Russian market looks large, the actual purchasing power is very limited. This limited market is still occupied by nearly 70% of us, and the British only get some cold soup.
Even if the Russian market is lost, the total foreign export trade of the British will fall by at most one or two percentage points. This fluctuation is still affordable for the British.
But the British government is not keen on the food self-sufficiency plan. Gladstone handed over the choice to the Parliament. The cabinet did not even indicate its position, which is enough to explain this. "
This answer is equal to no, half to half, which is not so much an analysis and judgment as it is a gambling.
I have to admit that although the Russian's method was a little rough, the effect was very good.
The tsarist government gave the British half the chance of giving up. Under normal circumstances, Austria makes a little effort, and finally the British Parliament vetoed, or shelved the bill indefinitely, and the matter passed.
Several successive proposals emerged in Franz's mind, and he rejected them again.
"At this stage, we are no longer fit to do anything.
Next, let's watch the performance of the French, I believe that Napoleon IV will not give up this opportunity. "
As soon as he finished speaking, Franz felt something was wrong. I do n’t know when it started. Austria has more time to cooperate with the enemy than it has to cooperate with allies.
Whether this is the loss of morality or the distortion of human nature is a question worthy of consideration.
But what is certain is that the operation method of this opening is wrong. If you continue this way, Franz will doubt whether he can distinguish his enemies.
"There are only eternal interests between countries, no eternal enemies." Now Franz's approach fully explains this sentence.
