Chapter 354: Disappearing Prophets, Mindsets

Unconsciously, the Russians soon paid the price for their actions, and the Polish independence movement broke out more rapidly than in history.
Britain and France increased financial assistance to independent organizations. After the uprising broke out, the independent organizations pulled up an army at the fastest speed and began to sweep the Quartet.
Franz, who was eating melon, soon received a letter of protest from the Tsarist government.
Franz asked incredulously: "Prime Minister, are you sure the contents of this protest book are true?"
Not to be surprised by Franz, there were actually 400 volunteers from Austria during the Polish uprising, most of whom were retired officers and soldiers from Austrian Poland.
Under the eyes of the Vienna government, Poland's independence was able to pull up such an armed force. If there is no problem, there will be ghosts.
It is one thing to secretly stump the Russians. So many volunteers have emerged on the bright side. It is not clear that Austria is supporting the Polish independence movement.
Has the Russian-Austrian League not been dissolved? It's morally justified to give the Tsar government a knife!
The Prime Minister Felix replied awkwardly: "Your Majesty, there are indeed many Polish people in the Gasilian region who support this uprising. It is not only 400 people who participated in the uprising, but our number is 800.
If nothing else, this number is still increasing. We made a mistake in advance and did not expect that so many people would participate in the uprising, so no measures were taken. "
Franz rubbed his forehead. He didn't know what to say. After the Polish Independence Movement broke out, Poles from all over the world participated.
There are millions of Polish people in Austria, and some volunteers are inevitable, but this number is too much.
"No one will frame us, right?" Franz asked uncertainly.
He was very skeptical that this was a British-French conspiracy, the purpose of which was to stir up Russia-Austria relations and dissolve the Russia-Austria alliance.
The Prime Minister Felix replied: "Sir, please be assured. We have checked that these people have no problem, they did participate in the uprising voluntarily.
Many of these people were originally residents of the Russian-Polish region, and because they could not stand Russian rule, they emigrated to Casilla.
Now they go back to join the uprising, which is mostly a force of hatred. We have already taken action and this situation will not continue in the future. "
Faced with this result, Franz can only be attributed to the Russians being too hard-working. What can you do if you can make people go into exile without forgetting to work hard for revenge.
Of course, some people in the Vienna government have certainly provided convenience to them, otherwise it would never be possible for so many people to enter Poland smoothly.
Franz thought for a while and said, "The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Russians will explain it slowly, and by the way, issue a diplomatic statement that the issue of Russian Poland is an internal affair of the Russian Empire, and countries should not interfere."
Anyway, things have already happened, you can only find a way to deal with it. Just after Britain and France internationally supported the Polish independent organization, European countries have responded, and the Tsarist government needs Austria's support.
When this happened, Franz was not counting on the benefits. Show your attitude first. As for the Russians, believe it or not.
In this regard, the relationship between the two countries is enough, and it is still a little worse than the collapse of the Russian-Olympic alliance. As long as the alliance is still a big deal, slowly repair the relationship later.
Foreign Minister Weissenberg replied: "Sir, the Russians will soon be overwhelmed. According to our news in St. Petersburg, the Polish Rebel Army has exceeded 100,000 people.
The Polish independent organization had a long-term plan. After the uprising was launched, the Russians deployed more than 100,000 troops in the Polish region, and were beaten by the Polish insurgents.
Many troops did not respond at all and became captives. Many soldiers joined the Polish independence movement directly. It seemed that the Russian Revolutionary Organization and the Poles were united.
From the information we have gathered, the insurgents are not entirely Uzbek, and their leadership should have received short-term military training.
From the outbreak of the Polish uprising to now, at least 5,000 volunteers from all over the world have participated. Most of these people have received military training and have become officers of the insurgent army.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs suspected that some people provided military training to independent Polish organizations. These volunteers were probably trained in advance. They quickly entered Poland after the outbreak and led the uprising. "
Franz's face changed dramatically, which is probably the truth. Even undercover men like Austria who are secretly behind the scenes can toss out hundreds of volunteers. The existence of such a knife and gun as Britain and France can only do more.
Is it difficult to train Polish independent organizations?
It's too easy for the big hooligan. Recruit a group of anti-Russian Poles, then carry out simple training, put them into the colony and fight a few battles, and the qualified soldiers will survive.
With the participation of the Russian revolutionary organizations, things will be more complicated, which means that the rebellion will not be confined to Poland, and a large area of ​​the Russian Empire may have a revolution.
The reformed Russian Empire is undoubtedly at a crossroads. Problems are most likely to happen now, and there are too many people in China who are dissatisfied with the reform of the Tsarist government.
The radicals suspect that the reform of the tsarist government is incomplete, and the conservatives feel that the reform of the tsarist government has hurt their interests. Once these dissatisfied people are stimulated, who knows what will happen?
You know, since the reform of Alexander II, there has been no peace in the Russian Empire. The serf, who had just been free, sighed at the huge land redemption.
Redemption of Russian land is not as harmonious as Austria. These redemptions are paid for interest, and it is not a concept to uniformly set the payment standard with Franz.
The land redemption money in Austria is basically based on the output income on the land for 5 to 10 years, which is collected by the government and then transferred to the land owner.
Farmers can pay up to 40 years in instalments without counting benefits. The amount of redemption you need to pay each year is within your affordability.
Because of the uniform apportionment, the collection standard is 20% of the actual output of the land, which can be paid more or less, and it can be paid off within the prescribed period anyway.
Due to the factors of the rebellion, the government seized a lot of land. In fact, the Vienna government still made a lot of money. Naturally, it was possible to use some money to quell the shortage of redemption money in the disaster year.
It will not work when the Tsarist government is here. The landlords are still alive and well. Most of the land is owned by the nobles. Before the reform, the number of civilian estates in Russia was less than twenty, and free farmers only owned a small amount of land.
In this context, it is certainly impossible to reduce the land redemption price. Collecting and issuing uniformly, it is even more impossible not to pay interest.
If it were not for the Great Revolution, Franz would not have been able to force the nobles to accept such harsh conditions. In fact, Austria's land reform is not complete.
Many nobles who have not been involved in the rebellion and have not been affected by the rebellion still own a large amount of land, as long as they do not want the government to force the redemption.
There have been no social conflicts. The main reason is that the Vienna government has reduced the per capita land redemption area to ensure that everyone can redeem the land, but the place is uncertain.
Later, with the expansion of the Balkans, the opening of overseas colonies opened up the original tight land supply, and the contradiction of land was completely resolved.
The immigration propaganda slogan of the colonial ministry is: "Do you want your own farm? Go to the colonies to open up wasteland.
Want your own plantation? Go to the colonies to open up wasteland.
You can own as much land as you can. "
This is not something the Tsarist government can do. Although there are many wastelands available for reclamation in China, these wastelands also have owners.
The area of ​​land obtained by farmers through redemption is actually lower than that of Austria. Of course, this is the result of calculating the Balkans, and Romania and Serbia contributed a lot of arable land.
The reform of Alexander II only allowed 13% of the serfs to get enough land; 42% of the land obtained by the serfs could barely make ends meet after paying the ransom; the rest could not support themselves by relying solely on the land and had to go out to work .
This provided sufficient labor for the development of capitalism in Russia.
Historically, with the development of the capitalist economy, a part of the rural population flooded into the cities, and the problem of the originally tense land was gradually resolved.
In the late 19th century, the Russian Empire became stronger again because of the reform of Alexander II.
It is unfortunate now that Russia's capitalist economy has just started and is unable to absorb too many people.
The social dividends brought about by the reform are too late to play a role; but the social contradictions brought about by the reform have begun to play a role.
"Paying close attention to the trend of the situation in Russia, clarifying the forces invested by all parties and preparing for interference, we cannot allow Russia to make a big change."
Franz made a decisive decision to let the Russians lose a bit, but let the Russian empire collapse!
Unless the Russian Empire can be dismembered and the threat resolved once and for all, it is better to retain the Tsarist government.
After all, Russia under the czar's government poses limited threats to Austria, and there are too many people in the country who are holding back. Even the most talented Alexander II cannot change this problem.
If it breaks the rules, it will be different. Franz can use the opportunity of civil unrest to clean up Hungary and integrate Austria. Who can guarantee that Russia will not have a powerful comeback?
At least Alexander II had the ability to reform within the scope of the rules, and he could not solve the problem thoroughly.
But once the order is broken, things are different. The greatest legacy Nicholas I left to him was the army loyal to the Tsar.
As long as the military is settled, many problems are not actually problems. As long as the table is turned over, it is very likely that Alexander II will regain the mountains.
If it is another country, it is also possible for countries to form a coalition to intervene in a wave. When encountering Russian Franz, he said that he was afraid of cold.
After the rebirth of Russia emerged, Austria had nothing to do, focus on acting as a European gatekeeper, and be responsible for watching the bears.
Felix the opposite said: "Your Majesty, we should not act rashly now. Although the reforms of Alexander II hurt many people's interests, they did not cross the conservative bottom line.
As long as these people do not move, Russia will not be in trouble. The Russian army in Poland collapsed, mainly because there were too many Polish soldiers inside.
In order to ensure the stability of the Polish region, the Tsarist government recently ordered the recruitment of troops from the Polish region, in an attempt to remove these people from the Polish region, but the plan began as soon as the uprising began.
The Russian army remained loyal to the Tsar, the Revolutionary Party had not yet affected the army, and a little rebellion could not move the foundation of the Tsar government.
As long as Britain and France don't send troops to intervene in person, it won't be long before the rebellion will be suppressed. "
After listening to the Prime Minister's explanation, Franz was relieved. He is a mystery of the authorities, ignoring that Britain and France will not act in person.
After losing the Near East War, the British were much more cautious about European issues and kept themselves as far away as possible.
Not to mention the French, how could Napoleon III almost lost the throne and let him go to the muddy waters of the Russians?
The Kingdom of Prussia was directly ignored. Don't look at how aggressive they are blown in later generations. Now the Russians sneeze, and the Berlin government is frightened.
Austria's best option right now is to watch a play, rather than prepare to interfere. Any move by the Vienna government may send a wrong signal to the outside world, resulting in an uncontrollable situation.
Franz thought for a while and said, "The Prime Minister is right, I'm too nervous, and now I'm not as calm as I am.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs told the Tsarist government that we support any action they take on the Polish issue, and the matter of volunteers is pushed to Britain and France.
Other things have nothing to do with us and know nothing. "
Since it uses static braking, it can be foolish enough.
Britain and France can stand up and pull hatred because they are far enough away from the Russians without fear of reprisals from the Tsarist government.
It is best to fight the Russians, but you can also dislike the Russians if they cannot, and use the Polish independence movement to delay the reform process of the Tsarist government.
Is it really that simple? Today, the international situation has long been beyond recognition, and the advantages of Franz's prophet no longer exist.
After sorting out his thoughts, Franz quickly figured it out.
Austria is no longer Austria in history. It has accumulated sufficient advantages in the early stage. Even without the advantage of prophecy, Austria is still in a favorable position in international competition.
Too much worry about the changes in the Russian Empire is actually the reason for Franz's lack of confidence. After all, the influence of previous life's ideas was so great that he ignored the change of his own strength.
Compared with any one of its competitors, Austria has advantages in one or more fields, so long as these advantages are exerted.
First of all, in terms of population quality, compulsory education was started first, and Austria is now enjoying this bonus.
Once the second industrial revolution begins, the first-mover advantage is doomed. By the time competitors reacted, Austria was already at the forefront.
It seems that Austria is not behind now, and following the footsteps of the British, certain industries can still run ahead.
On the contrary, the usury empire has begun to deviate. Insufficient local coal production capacity has already pushed up the cost of many industries in France, and capitalists increasingly like to make financial profits.
In the short term, competitors, Britain and France, have been locked up due to population constraints and local area.
Restrictions on local area and resources can also be made up by the colonies. Everyone in the colonial empire does not lack this resource, but there is no way out of insufficient population.
No, the French are already looking for a solution, which is to expand abroad. Napoleon III has just eaten the Kingdom of Sardinia, making up for the shortage of domestic labor.
There is really no way for British talents to go to the mainland if they are to be surrounded by the sea. Unfortunately, John Niu did not dare, and once he set foot on the European continent, he was immediately taught to be a man.
The Russian empire, a mid-term rival, is still undergoing reforms, and the industry has lagged behind for at least two decades, which will not make up for a while.
Even if it is open, it will take more than ten years to catch up. In this age of rapid technological change, opponents cannot wait for them to catch up.
As long as it is still under the rule of the Tsarist government, such open-ended development cannot occur, and it can guarantee the normal level of development speed, which is God's blessing.
Long-term rival American, after the torture of this civil war, is estimated to take a long time to develop for another 20-30 years. At least they have to wait for them to complete national reunification before they can compete for the world.
These advantages can only be regarded as superficial. The real advantage is that the competitors have not noticed their own weaknesses and have not taken corresponding measures to solve these problems.
