Holy Roman Empire

The mouthpieces have given countless reasons to criticize the government for its brutality, corruption, incompetence, and bloodshed...

Sultan Abdul Hamid II has also made public statements on several occasions, criticizing the government's serious mistakes in handling the refugee issue.

These changes have caused the Ottoman al-Shabab, which lacks experience in political struggle, to be in a hurry and not know how to deal with it for a while.

Foreign Minister Albyach: "Prime Minister, the Russians expelled all the refugees by force, and about 5000 people died under the butcher knife of the tsarist army.

This is a diplomatic note from the tsarist government, the Russians order us to restore the situation immediately and threaten to intervene by force. "

Taking the document, Midhart sighed.Normally, he would have been furious when he heard that the Russians slaughtered so many Ottoman people, but now it was just a number in his ears.

Weak countries have no diplomacy, and these people will die in vain if they die. It is impossible for the Ottoman Empire to hold the tsarist government accountable for this.

After being silent for a while, Midhat said slowly: "Since the Russian Empire can't go, let's send it all to Persia!"

After a pause, he added: "Is there any trouble in Austria, has the Vienna government accepted refugees?"

It's not that Midhart's heart is like a stone, and he is completely forced out by reality.There is insufficient food in the country, and people are bound to starve to death.

If the refugees are allowed to stay in the country, many areas that have resumed production will also be destroyed, and more people will starve to death by then.

In order to save more people, he had to be cruel.There is also a prerequisite for this, that is, it cannot be interfered by foreign powers, especially Austria.

Foreign Minister Albiage: "No, all the refugees were arrested by the Austrians in the name of illegal entry, and they were all sent to prison after a centralized trial."

The law does not blame the public. It may be feasible in the later generations of the rise of Notre Dameism, but there is no market in this era.The Vienna government acts in accordance with the law, and no one can pick a thorn.

Midhart hesitated, the result was bad, but not unacceptable.With the Russians ahead, Midhart's expectations were lowered from the start.

……

At this time, the situation in Persia also changed.Watching the snowballing expansion of the refugee tide, the expected international intervention, and the delay in unifying opinions among the countries under the agitation of the British, the Persian government realized the danger.

Persia is just an agricultural country with limited productivity, and it is simply unable to accommodate so many refugees.Even simple relief is beyond their capabilities.

The Persians are also deeply disgusted by these locust-like uninvited guests.Asking them to give out money and food to help these people is unwilling from the bottom of their hearts.

After repeated warnings to no avail, the Persian government once again showed the world the sharpness of the "Persian Blade", and the massacre began.

Right or wrong, everyone is fighting for survival.If the refugees want to survive and need more food, they must rob them; while the Persian government needs to protect the lives and property of the people, so it can only kill these uninvited guests.

Just when Franz was returning, the most brutal scene was staged in the Persian region, and the two sides were killed with blood.

There is no accident, the rabble is destined to win against the regular army, even if the Ottoman government is in control.

However, the Persians, who were victors, were not better off. Because the Persian army did not leave prisoners and cut off the refugees' surrender, the battle was particularly fierce.

That's all, it's nothing more than a bigger loss.The most troublesome thing is that there are too many refugees. It is easy to defeat them, but it is difficult to wipe them all out.

Even though the Persian army has been on strict guard, there are still many refugees who flowed to the rear, disturbing the peace in the Persian area.

Under the power of hatred, these refugees have turned into rogues, burning, killing, looting, and committing all kinds of crimes along the way.

According to incomplete statistics, the total population of Persia dropped by 150 million after the war, and the total economic volume dropped by a quarter. The loss is conceivable.

……

The tragedy that happened in Persia quickly spread across the European continent, and the impact was far less severe than Franz thought. Most of the European people were melon eaters.

In this era, both the Ottomans and the Persians belonged to a race without human rights, and the mainstream society did not take them seriously at all.

Except for a few Notre Dame parties who were shouting and asking European countries to help the refugees, most of the people watched from the sidelines.If you can't eat enough for yourself, who can take care of others?

In order to eat three meals a day, most of the workers have to work hard for more than ten hours in the factory every day.

Let the government pay for Ottoman refugees, what a joke?There are still a large group of people in the country who need relief, and the government can't help them. They dare to give money to the enemy. This is blatant treason!

The Notre Dame Party was overwhelmed by overwhelming criticism without making a few waves.The Ottoman Empire has only fallen for a short time, and it is difficult for everyone to forget the hatred in less than 80 or [-] years.

London

As one of the chief directors of this tragedy, Prime Minister Gerston is very satisfied with the development of the situation.Even though the casualties were a little bigger, it was all worth it.

After losing so many people at one time, the internal contradictions of the Ottoman Empire have been greatly eased, and this nail that pinned Austria has finally been saved.

Refugees ravaged Persia and created opportunities for Britain to invade Persia, killing two birds with one stone.

Foreign Secretary Maclean: "Your Excellency Prime Minister, this is a diplomatic note from the Ottoman government, they want us to fulfill our promise to provide them with a counter-insurgency fund.

Judging from the current situation, the biggest crisis of the Ottoman Empire has been passed, and the risk of providing them with loans has been greatly reduced.

However, it is not certain that the Persians are massacring refugees now.In order to survive, these people are likely to return to the Ottoman Empire again.

Perhaps this number will be greatly reduced, but as long as a third of the people return, the Ottoman government will soon be in trouble again.

And after this experience, these surviving refugees may not be able to live with peace of mind.Essentially, these people have learned badly and are not fit to be obedient people. "

Prime Minister Gerston nodded: "This is an inevitable result, but in general, the situation in the Ottoman Empire has improved.

Let the Ottoman government take care of these refugees who have turned into a mob!Whether it is dealt with or strictly disciplined has nothing to do with us.

In any case, they also helped to hurt the Persians, and they are our friends, and Britain never treats friends badly.

As long as we are sure that the Ottoman government is stable and has the ability to pay its debts, we can give them a loan.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs can communicate with the French. To support a nail to contain Austria, we cannot do all of our efforts.

If the French are willing to contribute, then the training of the Ottoman Army can be given to them. "

Chapter 166 The Emperor's Recipe

Gerston was not dazzled by the good news in front of him. It is good to monopolize the interests of the Ottoman Empire, but it is not something the British family can do to support the Ottoman Empire to contain Austria.

Now that the Ottoman Empire has fallen, the Vienna government can stand by and let them do what they want.Once the Ottoman Empire showed signs of rising, the situation would change immediately.

If one day the Vienna government had a whim and wanted to pull out the nail behind it, the British would actually be beyond their reach.

It is impossible for the London government to fight for the Ottomans and Austria. Regardless of the outcome, it will only benefit the French.

Therefore, pulling the French into the water is the best choice. It doesn't matter how much the Ottoman Empire can play. As long as they exist, they can prevent Austria from fully entering the European hegemony.

Without going all out, Austria naturally has no way to break through the obstacles to the unification of the German region, and even for its own strategic security, the Austrians must hold back the French.

Fao is holding each other back, and the British can play a balance between the two to achieve their own strategic goals.

McLean shook his head: "Prime Minister, this may be troublesome. The French financial circles are not optimistic about the Ottoman Empire. After the Second Near East War, the French Bank did not issue a loan to the Ottoman government.

When Napoleon III was in power, the relationship with the financial world was very bad, and there is still no relaxation.Even if the Paris government is willing to support the Ottoman Empire, they have no way to spend too much money. "

Don’t think that the French financial community is a supporter of Napoleon III and think that there is no conflict between the two sides. In fact, since Napoleon III encouraged the development of the real economy and established state-owned banks, the two sides have parted ways.

In the original time and space, Napoleon III was kicked out by the financial capitalists. Now that there is no big defeat in the Franco-Prussian War, the financial capitalists naturally have no strength to rebound.

However, it is an indisputable fact that the relationship between the financial world and the Paris government has deteriorated. After Napoleon IV succeeded to the throne, although the Paris government was noisy, it still continued the policies of the Napoleon III era economically.

For example: impose heavy taxes on the financial industry, limit the maximum interest rate on loans by law, crack down on financial speculation, and so on.

For national development, these approaches are undoubtedly correct.But for financial capital, this blocks their way of making money.

Of course, in this era of vigorous economic development in France, financial capitalists still took the biggest cake, but people will never be satisfied, especially capitalists.

The emperor thinks that financial capital can make money lying down, and the benefits they get are enough to be worthy of their efforts, but financial capitalists don't think so.

The overall situation and long-term development have nothing to do with them. The capitalists just want to take more benefits.What does the country's development have to do with them?

In this way, the conflict between the two parties arose, and the relationship became complicated.

On the one hand, capitalists recognized Napoleon III's contribution to economic development; on the other hand, they resented Napoleon III's setting of restrictions, which prevented everyone from making money.

The deterioration of the relationship between the two parties will have the most direct impact on the weakening of the Paris government's financing ability. When it wants to mobilize large sums of money, it must first obtain the approval of capitalists.

If both parties agree on the same position and believe that they can make money, then everything is negotiable.On the contrary, the financial sector will not cooperate.

Now the French financial circle believes that providing loans to the Ottoman government is a high-risk business. Under this background, unless the Paris government personally guarantees it, otherwise the capitalists will not buy it at all.

Of course, it is also possible to exchange benefits secretly.For a lot of international loans, everyone knew from the very beginning that they would not be able to get back if they were released, and they were still released, which was the result of the exchange of interests behind the scenes.

For capitalists, even if the loan becomes a bad debt, the loss can still be transferred out.For example: set up a vest company to undertake business, and then sell it to the public in the form of bonds.

Every year, more than three-digit banks and securities companies go bankrupt all over the world, and a large part of them are intentional by capitalists.Anyway, both executives and bosses have made money, and it is only ordinary investors who lose money in the end.

Gerston frowned: "Then let the French participate in the currency issuance of the Ottoman Empire. Except for the tariffs that must be obtained, we can make some concessions in other aspects."

Capitalists are the hardest mob to take down, and also the easiest to take down.As long as the benefits are in place, all problems are no longer problems.

Prime Minister Gerston initially promised to let the French train the Ottoman army, which was actually equivalent to giving up the arms market of the Ottoman Empire.

It is true that the "arms trade" is huge profits, but the arms market of the Ottoman Empire is different. The biggest problem is that the Ottoman government has no money.

When the government has no money, it is naturally impossible to update its armaments. This seemingly profitable market is actually a painting.

By contrast, tariffs and currency issuance are where the real benefits lie.

Controlling a country's tariffs is equivalent to controlling a country's market; controlling a country's currency issuance is equivalent to controlling a country's economic lifeline.

The best way to bribe financial capitalists is to let them participate in currency issuance.

It just so happens that the British have the ability to eat this part of the benefits, but there is no way to keep this part of the benefits, and it is also a practical need to share it with the French.

……

Vienna Palace, just finished a special trip, Franz only felt physically and mentally exhausted.

Originally he thought that in his previous life he was a "homemaker" because he had no money, but now he finds that it's not just about being "poor", but that he is essentially a "homemaker".

This did not return to his lair, and he immediately relaxed.To celebrate the return, the fish in the artificial lake suffered another disaster.

As a pragmatist, Franz never raises ornamental fish, and only edible fish are raised in the artificial lake.

This aspect runs counter to the cultural traditions of Austria. Most Austrians don’t like to eat seafood, especially fish, shrimp, and crabs. They must not be served on the table during the festival.

The reason is very strange. I don't like crabs because they walk sideways, which violates the natural laws given by God; I don't like shrimps because they walk backwards, which symbolizes bad meaning.

Because I don't like it, I don't like to eat it.

Of course, most people in this era are not qualified to be picky eaters.It doesn't matter whether you like it or not, the key is that meat products such as fish, shrimp and crab are relatively cheaper.

除了节日之外，平常时期鱼肉还是平民餐桌上的主要肉食。以维也纳的物价为例，1斤牛肉的价格=1.4斤羊肉=2.3斤猪肉=3斤鹅肉=4斤鱼肉。

Prices vary from place to place. Fish is relatively cheap in coastal and riverside areas, and beef and mutton in grassland areas are relatively cheap. But generally speaking, beef is the most expensive, and fish and poultry are the cheapest.

The perception of the outside world did not affect Franz's recipes at all, but the emperor's recipes affected the eating habits of the Austrians.

It is indispensable in any society to work from top to bottom.

Franz never cared whether the ingredients were expensive or cheap, as long as they were delicious.

Under the butterfly effect of Franz, many delicacies from all over the world were introduced in advance and took root here, enriching the tables of the Austrian people a lot.

Looking at the swaying buoy in the water, Franz quickly turned the pulley to tighten the fishing line.

The movement in the water became louder and louder, and all the hooked fish jumped out of the water, and Franz's joy disappeared.

What caught his eye was a small fish about seven or eight centimeters in length, and Franz, who was so amazing, didn't care about it anymore. He was thinking about how to eat such a small fish?

Deep-fried, steamed, braised in brown sauce, it is a pity that it is too small even for soup.There is no way, this is Franz's record in one morning.

He went out of Haikou, and he agreed to cook the fish he caught at noon today, but no fish took the bait, which made Franz very embarrassed.

You must know that this artificial lake is not small. The fish in the lake have lived for many years. Except for the emperor Franz who occasionally came to harm them, usually no one would pay attention to them.

From where Franz was standing now, he could see fish swimming in the clear lake water, and their size was not small, but no fish took the bait.

After hesitating again and again, Franz decided to let go of this hard-won record.With this body, probably less than one or two, Franz really didn't want to embarrass the chef.

As for the lunch question, it doesn't matter, the rules have been changed now, since you don't want to take the bait, you can use the Internet cafe. In short, fish is a must.

Chapter 167 Purgatory on Earth

In West Asia, under the slaughter of the "Blade of Persia", the refugee army quickly scattered and fled, and the Ottoman government could no longer control the whereabouts of the refugees.

In addition to the dead, only a small part of the remaining refugees fled to the Persian hinterland, and more returned to the Ottoman Empire.

People are afraid of death. Facing the Persian who raised the butcher's knife, the refugees have been counseled.

It’s hard to go out, and it’s even harder to go home. After finally sending the refugees out, how could the Ottoman government accept this trouble again?

After successfully expelling the refugees, the rank of Major General Shendierk has become a lieutenant general. If the immediate trouble can be solved, it is likely to be promoted to another rank.

As a price, Shendirke is already notorious, affectionately called "the most insidious butcher" by the international media.

The media must thank him, because he made everyone not short of hot news this year.After the Persian Holocaust, newspaper sales across Europe rose by [-] percent.

Inside the headquarters, a middle-aged officer reported worriedly: "General, there are more and more refugees outside, and we are about to be unable to stop it."
