With the accumulation of hatred, the situation in France further deteriorated. The autumn wind swept away the fallen leaves as expected by the Tsarist government did not appear, but instead stepped into the quagmire.

The forceful suppression was effective in cities, but once it entered the countryside, the situation changed. The French played guerrilla warfare based on the terrain, which made the Russian army miserable.

The 200,000 Russian troops seemed to be quite large, but they were obviously not as strong as possible to control the entire France.

Especially after Spain reduced the number of troops garrisons and reduced the scope of garrison, the Russian army was under even greater pressure.

There was no way, the French resistance organizations regarded the Russians as their primary target. Most of the attacks were directed at the Russian army, and the areas controlled by other countries were relatively quiet.

No one likes to cause trouble. Although everyone is an ally on the anti-French issue, the Tsarist government did not ask for help, so the countries are naturally happy to watch the fun.

"Seeking for help" seems very simple, just a telegram is enough, but it is not easy to take this step.

It is an open secret that the Tsarist government wants to establish its authority with the French. If you encounter a little setback, you have to ask for help from your allies, which is to slap yourself in the face.

This is not just a problem of embarrassment, but most importantly, it involves the position of the Russian Empire in the continental alliance.

In an era when fist and international status are equal, you have as much strength as you have. Without strength, you will not be tough in anything you do.

Realizing that the French are not easy to mess with, the Tsarist government is already in a difficult situation. At this time, choosing to compromise will not only be embarrassing internationally, but also decline in status, but also the reputation of the Tsar in China will also plummet.

Russian bureaucrats are all smart people, so they will not be a big deal. They will jump out to compromise with the French, or ask for help from allies.

No matter what, in the minds of bureaucrats, political correctness is always the first priority, and other problems are all small problems.

What's more, with the strength of the Russian Empire, as long as you are willing to invest, suppressing and resisting organizations is a matter of strength.

On this issue, the Tsarist government can be said to be quite experienced. None of Poland, Bulgaria, and Afghanistan is easy to rule, and in the end it was not surrendered under the iron fist of the Tsarist government?

Whether it is true surrender or falsely catering, in short, these areas are temporarily stable on the surface. Even if there are still guerrillas, they have also penetrated into the ravine.

It is enough for the Tsarist government to achieve this. As long as the situation can be roughly stabilized and give allies a reasonable explanation, the matter will be over.

In fact, if it weren't for the international community watching, the Tsarist government would never mind giving up the "small countryside places" and would only occupy the richest Paris region.

...

The chaos in France did not affect Shinra. Although human beings are entering the era of globalization, since the outbreak of the European War, the normal trade between Shinra and France was broken.

After the war, France was defeated? Even if trade was restarted, there was not much trade volume. All the economic pains broke out in the previous economic crisis? The impact now is very small.

After entering 1896, the Holy Roman Empire, which escaped the economic crisis, once again boarded the express train of rapid development.

A new round of five-year plans is being formulated in full swing. But what is different from the past? The host this time is no longer Franz.

Time flies? Crown Prince Frederick, who was already in his forties, has now begun to take over government affairs.

In fact, Crown Prince Frederick had already started to engage in government affairs twenty years ago. However, at that time, he was just an intern who was doing odd jobs.

This internship lasts for twenty years? It can be called the longest intern in history. If an ordinary position is intern for twenty years, it is estimated that anyone will go crazy.

The profession of emperor is obviously an exception. Since ancient times, there have been many princes who have been waiting for a long time. Without enough patience, they will not be able to succeed the throne.

Compared with the later generations of Prince Charles who was in his seventies and was still a reserve service, Frederick, who was in his forties, was really young.

In a sense? Both Charles and Frederick are lucky. The European world inheritance law is deeply rooted in people's hearts? As long as the crown prince does not commit suicide, he will not be dragged down.

If it is in the Eastern World?                                                           �

Taking the plan handed over by his son? Franz quickly browsed it? Suddenly he stopped on the third page.

"Focus on developing the petrochemical industry, tell me your reasons?"

The policy does not matter whether it is right or wrong, it only depends on whether it is appropriate. According to the actual situation, it is what the politicians need to do to adopt different policies at different times.

No matter how good the policy is, as long as it appears at the wrong time, it will harm the country and the people.

Everyone knows this principle, but when it is implemented, the situation changes. Because of interests, when formulating national policies, policymakers must consider more factors.

How to grasp the specific situation can only be adapted to the actual situation. The seemingly ordinary inquiry is actually a school entrance exam for my son.

"In recent years, the domestic internal combustion engine industry has flourished, and the petrochemical industry has also risen.

However, during the development and utilization process, serious waste of resources occurred. During the refining process, most of the chemical by-products generated were wasted.

On the one hand, the technology is not mature enough and the cost of development and utilization of by-products is too high; on the other hand, the supporting industries are not able to develop, and there are problems in connection.

This is a huge industrial chain. Once developed, it can create at least millions of jobs, which will have a great promoting effect on our economy.

The second reason is that the royal family controls most of the domestic oil fields. Once the petrochemical industry develops, our benefits will be very large."

Crown Prince Frederick replied calmly. Obviously, similar conversations have been conducted many times between father and son.

Unlike talking to others, you have to go around in circles and keep your son in a silence. Father and son are always straightforward and there is no need to hide.

While promoting the development of the country's economy, it is a routine operation. As the rulemaker, it is really not difficult to make a fortune.

In addition to Franz's foresight in advance, the ability of the royal consortium to grow rapidly is also an important factor in the advance arrangement of national policies.

Although there is no special policy profit, the national economic policy was originally promoted by Franz. It is normal for the industry that is prioritized to develop and the potential industries that are laid out.

Franz nodded and shook his head again: "Theoretically, there is no problem. However, once the petrochemical industry develops, it will be inappropriate for the royal family to control so many oil fields.

Promote the listing of relevant companies and carry out several more financings to reduce the royal family's open shareholding.

Since you proposed it, these tasks will be handed over to you now. After the company is listed, it will form an industry association to raise the industry threshold."

Since ancient times, eating alone will not have good results, and even the royal family cannot go too far. When Franz was in power, naturally no one dared to compete blindly, and later generations cannot say that.

The best way is to hide the industry early. Just like those large consortium families in later generations, everyone knows the name of Morgan Locke, but they don’t know which industries they own.

All those who are on the list of rich people are rising entrepreneurs, and old wealthy families cannot even find their shadows. No matter how much their descendants can make a fortune, they cannot all decline. No one survives, right?

The only explanation is to hide it. After all, it is much safer to control the lifeline of the country's economy in secret than to be active and open.

Listing is undoubtedly a good choice. While sharing the cake to attract allies, you can also get a lot of money from the market.

The cash out funds can be invested in new industries and continue to create wealth. Snowball is getting bigger and bigger.

"The way of heaven reduces the excess and makes up for the deficiency; the way of man reduces the deficiency to serve the excess."

"The strong will always be stronger, and the rich will become richer" is the essence of the world and has never been changed by personal will.

Franz is not a saint and does not have the courage to go against the world. Since he cannot change the world, he can only adapt to this world.

It is better to control these industries in your own hands than to fall into the hands of profit-oriented capitalists. At least the royal consortium needs to consider national stability and cannot simply pursue interests.

"Okay, father."

While replying, Frederick's face changed slightly, his voice trembled slightly, and then he returned to normal.

It can be seen that his heart is not calm, but he has to suppress it in order to maintain his stable image.

Just think about it, the oil industry in the hands of the royal family almost controls half of the world's oil production capacity. Even though the oil industry chain had just emerged in the 19th century, it was a complete behemoth.

Suddenly, if you take charge of such a large industry, normal people will be uneasy. It is already very difficult for Frederick to hold it back.

Seeing the scene in front of him, Franz nodded with satisfaction. Just be able to hold it back. What the most feared thing about being an emperor is that he can't hold back.

To this day, money is just a number for Franz. No matter how much wealth he has, it cannot move him.

In contrast, a qualified heir is the most important thing.
