In a sense, the civil unrest in France delayed the outbreak of the Austrian navy.

The former dreadnought is just a transitional product with a very short economic life span. The original dreadnoughtnought has only been more than ten years of glory.

Before the warships are retired, they are already behind the times, which is very economically unprofitable.

Even though I knew that this warship was not cost-effective, Franz still had to build it and also needed to build it on a large scale.

Before the birth of the Dreadnought, the former Dreadnought battleship was still very awesome, at least surpassing all the warships on the sea.

As long as Austria is built on a large scale, Britain and France must follow the trend. Because of the sea power, they must also build more warships.

If you lose money, you will lose money. As long as your competitors lose more, Franz doesn't mind letting this money-loss game continue.

However, this time suppression of France underestimated the revolutionary enthusiasm of the French people. In addition, his hands were a little shaking, and he accidentally made a little heavier, which almost killed the French government.

In this context, even if the French want to follow the trend, reality will allow it!

As a last resort, Franz had to slow down the expansion of the navy and waited for the French government to stabilize the situation before continuing the game of money loss.

The French don’t have to worry about their financial resources. Although they suffered heavy losses in this crisis, not much wealth has flowed out.

The most severely impacted are industry and manufacturing. These industries account for only one-tenth of the overall French economy, while other industries have relatively low impacts.

The losses caused by this impact are similar to those of the French in the original time and space war.

The size of the Great French Empire is much larger than that of the original time and space, and it is supported by overseas colonies, so it is not difficult to restore the economy.

It seems that money is short of money, and most of the wealth is concentrated in the hands of a few people. Especially those consortiums that collude with international capital have made a fortune.

Sometimes too much money is also a worry. While catching land in China, consortiums also need more investment channels. Ultimate loans are definitely the favorite of financial tycoons.

The French government is undoubtedly the best customer, and repayment ability is a small problem. What the consortium lends money to the government is not interested in interest income. What everyone needs is to strengthen the impact on the government through financial means.

"The hands that take people are short, and the mouth that eats people are soft." Influencing the government through debt is a common method used by capitalists.

There has been such a big chaos in China, and France's fiscal revenue this year is almost halved, and the Paris government is not short of money. This is the most true portrayal.

As the government owes too much money, the government gradually becomes dependent, and even develops to the point where it cannot be separated from the support of consortiums.

At that time, when formulating policies, there will inevitably be a certain tendency.

Judging from the current situation, France's economy will not be optimistic for a long time in the future. If the government wants to stabilize the situation, it must increase jobs and reduce the unemployment rate.

Building a ship is not the best choice, but it is the most suitable choice. It not only can stimulate domestic demand, but also does not have to worry about investment being wasted.

As long as Britain and the Olympics start working, the Paris government will definitely follow up. The former dreadnought has been almost built, and it can start the era of dreadnoughts and have another wave of money-burning games.

The only regret is that John Bull gave up the two strong standards early, otherwise the arms race would have dragged them to death.

Without the two strong standards, the British's goal was only 65% ​​higher than the second highest. The total tonnage of the Austrian naval was 84% ​​of the French, which means that the British's shipbuilding plan was reduced from 1.84 to 1.65.

It seems that it has only dropped by 0.19, and the decline rate is less than 11%. According to the current cost of shipbuilding in Britain, the problem of only a few million pounds seems to put no pressure on the London government.

In fact, this is far from a problem of millions of pounds. The most expensive thing about the navy is not shipbuilding expenditure, subsequent port construction, warship maintenance, and officers and soldiers. These are far higher than shipbuilding costs.

The former is a one-time million, while the latter is a million a year. Even the wealthy John Bull must be cautious on this issue.

Judging from the current situation, the French should be the first to be dragged to death.

This is determined by comprehensive national strength. Their financial resources are already at the bottom of the Three Kingdoms. After encountering so many bad things, the gap between everyone's financial resources is even more huge.

...

In the small town of Mordor, West Prussia, the townspeople were surrounding a notice. From the gloomy faces of the crowd, it can be seen that this is not good news.

After the Russian soldiers who posted the notice walked away, a young man broke his silence: "The taxes must be collected in advance again. This is the fifth chapter, and will it still make people live!"

After the Russians occupied the West Prussia region, the Tsarist government immediately announced tax reductions and exemptions in order to win the hearts of the people, abolishing most of the taxes during the Prussian Kingdom.

There is no doubt that this policy ended in failure. The quality of the policy does not depend on the policy itself, but the most important thing is to depend on the implementation.

With the poor military discipline of the Russian army and no matter how good the policies are, they cannot withstand their troubles. Under the trend of hatred, the local people still support the Berlin government more.

The endless guerrillas eventually wiped out the patience of the Tsarist government.

After the war, the Russians gave up their plan to win over local people and started the Tsarist model.

In less than a year, the Russians collected taxes from the West Prussia region to 1886.

If you don’t have money to pay taxes, you can use the land to pay off your debts. If you don’t have land, you can do contract labor. Not only in the West Prussia region, but almost all newly occupied areas are like this.

What caused all this to happen was the nobles who were enfeoffed by the Tsarist government. The fiefdom given by the Tsar was essentially just a name, and having a fief does not mean having land.

The land on the aristocratic fiefs was originally a master. According to the sacred and inviolable law of private property, this belongs to private finance and no one has the power to deprive it at will.

If the nobles want to turn the fiefdom into their own property, they also need to find ways to seize it from the original owner.

After Alexander II's reform, the power of local governments and nobles was weakened to a certain extent.

If you want to change the tax rate and add new tax types, you must report to the central government for approval.

The tax rate has been raised and it is easy to increase tax types. The Tsarist government is short of money. As long as the local government can collect it and there is no chaos, there will be no problem.

The trouble is that it will be difficult to change it in the future. Everyone regards these lands as their own property. If they cannot change it, they will have to pay more taxes, so naturally they are unwilling to do so.

Against this background, the traditional operating model of "early tax collection" has shined with new brilliance in the newly occupied territory.

An old man in gorgeous clothes who looked extraordinary sighed and said sadly: "If it really doesn't work, just hand over the land!

The Russians came for the land, and this was just the beginning.

Even if I have raised money and paid the 1886 tax, there is another tax for me in 1887. They will not give up until they achieve their goal.

No matter how big the family business is, it cannot withstand such trouble. Now it is still time to let go, so as not to be able to save the land and owe to huge debts."

After saying that, the old man turned around and left, giving everyone no chance to debate.

He has said similar words more than once, but everyone always feels lucky and fantasizes about being able to save the land.
