Chapter 351: ,fundamental

The joint statement between the two countries suddenly made those reporters who attended the press conference begin to wonder if this is a dream. Some people even pinched themselves bitterly or twice... and this time, after issuing the joint statement, Foreign Minister Talleyrand and Ambassador Metternich did not even leave reporters time for questions. Instead, it was announced directly that the press conference was over.
In fact, the reporters don't have time to ask anything. What is the most important thing now? Of course, this big news was sent out immediately. Isn't the purpose of being a reporter to make a big news? So as Foreign Minister Talleyrand announced the adjournment of the meeting, the reporters immediately rushed out from the gate like a tide, and then rushed towards their respective newspaper offices.
It is said that since then, certain newspapers have added a new requirement when recruiting reporters, that is, they must undergo a 12-minute physical fitness test. "How can you become a reporter if you can't even run?" It also became a reason for the newspaper to fire some reporters. In the first modern Olympics not long after, Dresler, who won the sprint world championship for France, was also an entertainment reporter for The Sun. So much so that in this time and space, a new proverb appeared in France: "As fast as a tabloid reporter."
Yes, in general, tabloid reporters always run faster. In contrast, reporters from Science, Pravda, and Kommersant do not need to run so fast, because the news actually, Their editorial department already knows something in advance. Although the advance time is not long, it is enough for them to issue the extra number first. At this time, while reporters from newspapers such as the Sun were still parkour on the streets of Paris, Pravda Science was already considering the wording of the editorial.
Of course, as the Science Pravda and Kommersant first issued the extras, another group of people also started to run fast, and they ran no slower than the tabloid reporters. These people were the speculators.
Prior to this, because of widespread fears that Austria would have a war with France, and that it would be completely defeated in the war, Austria's national debt fell in a mess on the market and almost became waste paper. And now with this news, everyone knows that Austria’s national debt will surely rise, go back, and even higher.
Regrettably, most people, before this, have already thrown out all the Austrian national debt in their hands at a price close to that of waste paper. Today, in the market, only the price of Austrian government bonds has skyrocketed, but there is no Austrian government bonds that can be bought. So everyone sighed with regret, and couldn't help thinking about which guys had bought Austria's national debt at the price of waste paper before that.
But they couldn't think of it. Someone who bought all Austria's national debt at the price of selling waste paper was also full of dissatisfaction.
"The financial tools of this era are really too backward and lack of financial innovation! There is no way to make the price of Austrian national debt fall to a negative range, and there is no useful financial lever. Otherwise, this brush, how much should you make? Money!"
Facing Napoleon and Lucien, who had been able to make a lot of money in vain, Joseph couldn't help expressing such emotion in his heart.
But Napoleon is obviously much easier to satisfy than Joseph. This way the money has made him very satisfied. He calculated the income in the Austrian national debt and found that the income of this trip was even higher than the income of his personal visit to the Pope.
"Joseph, this is really robbing money, and the efficiency is even higher than sending the army directly to grab it. Last time in Italy, we said that it was a costless business, but the cost of using the army is actually not low. And this time, we just said a few'truths' and we have gained so much. This is really..." Lucien also rubbed his hands and said excitedly.
Although Napoleon was thinking about this in his heart, he was instinctively unhappy when he heard Lucien say this, because this is a bit, um, a bit denying his own value.
But Joseph did not wait for Napoleon to rebut.
"Lucien, and Napoleon, there is one thing, I want to remind you." Joseph suddenly said, "There was a fool who ate four breads in the morning and was full. So the fool said:'I What a silly thing, I knew that, I can just eat the last bread, why waste the first three breads?'
Of course the person who said this is a fool. But Napoleon and Lucien, we must also be wary of whether we will become fools. It is not without reason that we can now use financial means to harvest these wealth like wheat. If we don’t have an invincible army in our hands that makes it difficult for any enemy to see or even produce the courage to confront, how can we use this method to cut wheat?
Therefore, Lucien, don't think that financial harvest is really costless. Without our invincible army, who can I harvest by this means? "
Hearing Joseph's mention of "an invincible army", Napoleon immediately became happy and said with joy: "Joseph said that this harvest, in the final analysis, depends on the army. Only the army is in our hands. sickle."
"Napoleon, there is some truth in what he said, but it is not all. We have not fought for several years. Why has the deterrence of our army not only not declined, but is rising? At the beginning, those guys signed a peace agreement with us. At that time, all of them were thinking about what they were thinking about. I think you should also understand very well, so do they have such plans now? Why?"
Napoleon was stunned, and then said: "At first they should think about taking a breath and licking the wound, and when they recover, they will come to fight with us. But now, they definitely don't have this idea. Now, they don't need to. After playing, fools know that they are not opponents. The difference between us and them is like a strong man and a child."
Joseph nodded: "Our power has grown faster than them. Now the artillery firepower of one of our army divisions is much stronger than that of their army. It won’t be long before even the firepower of one of our divisions can be overwhelming. They are on the front. What did they use to fight us? As long as our commander is not a fool, they will have no chance at all."
"Joseph, if you want to say, if this goes on, it will really be... the rest is all about bullying the children, there is no more artistic beauty in war, and the rest is crushing... life is really lonely as snow. "Napoleon let out a sigh of the second most extreme.
Joseph glanced at Napoleon and continued: "Many things in the world have their root causes and external manifestations. Anything has a beginning and an end. When we deal with it, we should know what to do first and what to do. Put it in the most fundamental position, and treat it as a general trick, knowing what should be really valued, even if it is truly clear.
Now, what makes us so powerful? It's not that we are highly skilled, or even that our army is strong. In the final analysis, we have a strong industry. Why in Europe, only the United Kingdom can be considered our opponent a little bit? Isn't it because the UK has relatively better industries by comparison? Therefore, maintaining a strong industry is our foundation. Although industrial costs are high and making money is slower than financial harvesting, we must always remind ourselves not to have the idea of ​​skipping industry and relying directly on financial means to live our lives. "
"How could we have such mentally retarded thoughts?" Lucien asked.
Hearing this, Joseph chuckled: "Lucien, people are always accustomed to laziness. Even smart people are like this. When did France change from an industrial empire to a financial empire, it was France. The beginning of the end of his hegemony."
"Joseph, what you said is so reasonable!" Napoleon said, looking around, "Lucien, give me your notebook. I want to write this down and engrave it on my desk. "
Leaving aside Napoleon’s operations, now the news has also spread to Hungary. Those Hungarian nobles who are clamoring for Hungarian autonomy, and those who have just been encouraged by the Hungarian nobles, once again mustered the courage to let those "separatists" hurry up. The Polish nobles who came to drop a few bombs were all dumbfounded.
There are some idiots who barked too hard before, and for a while, there was no way to look back, and they had no choice but to carry to the end. At least on the surface, some nobles have begun to think about how to be loyal to the emperor and show that they have joined in. In fact, they have been used, or simply said: "Your Majesty, I am an undercover agent, I I joined in just to find out information and report to you. I now find out..."
Even those who jumped so hard and couldn't turn their heads for a while, on the one hand, hurriedly reorganized the team~EbookFREE.me~ and said "We must unite, we must unite", while quietly sending people to find the emperor to confess.
Under such circumstances, as soon as the imperial army led by General Carl Philip arrived in Hungary, the Hungarian National Guard was mutated.
Under the leadership of a young Viscount Batori, the Mutiny National Guard, arrested the leader of the rebellion, the Marquis Bartoli of Viscount Batori, and handed him over to General Carl Philip. So far, the Hungarian rebellion was suppressed.
Since then, both the emperor and the French have shown amazing kindness to the rebels.
"Since they have realized their mistakes, then they have become our compatriots again." Emperor Franz stated in the newspaper that even the head of the rebellion Marquis Batori was only exiled. He was not deprived of his title or land.
Of course, any barriers and taxes that hinder free trade in Hungary are abolished.
As for those Polish nobles who followed the trend, they also got a certain degree of forgiveness after they honestly gave up key land at the "market price." After all, the Hungarian Empire still uses them to bully ordinary Poles.
