Perhaps out of disgust with Austria, the French's plan for the farm was not kept secret, and the news was released to the outside world shortly after the Paris government made its decision.

This is understandable. At this moment, the 8th Division of the rebel army led by Huthier and others has expanded to 80,000 yuan, and is about to break through the 100,000 yuan mark.

Let’s not talk about the combat power, but the French have already learned the destructive power. This rabble army has only done two things along the way: crazy expansion of the troops and robbing the manor.

Huthier and others fully demonstrated their style of bullying the weak and fearing the strong. They did not touch any cities that the French strictly guarded, and focused on weak villages and small towns.

Even if most soldiers use cold weapons and rely on the advantages of human sea tactics, they will be invincible all the way.

In fact, there is often no need to attack. Looking at the number of rebels, the defenders along the way fled.

It’s not that I have no common sense to resist, but mainly because the military strength is too serious, there are too few French soldiers in small towns, and the Egyptians are unreliable.

Concentrating troops to station large cities is the best choice. Generally speaking, as long as the French soldiers exceed 1,000, the Eighth Division will not hit hard.

There is no point in fighting to the death, and it is not a person who comes to conquer the world. Just just rush to the territorial corps. The uprising army behind them will do it.

As the Eighth Division ran around, the French army in Egypt also lost the opportunity to assemble again and had to fight for their own battles.

After all, there are few French soldiers who can fight, and most of the troops are colonial troops. It is okay to defend the city, but going out to fight field battles is a little better than the rebels.

The French government naturally felt unhappy after such a big disturbance. In the spirit of my discomfort and you should not think about a good life, the French would show off their cards directly.

Then all agricultural stocks began to plummet. A group of self-righteous experts and scholars emerged to criticize agricultural stocks, and some even directly believed that a new round of agricultural crisis was right in front of them.

Well, this time they were right. For a long time in the future, enterprises engaged in agricultural production will not have a better life. It may be more appropriate to describe it as a day.

Even if the French don’t come this wave, the agricultural crisis will still break out. With the continuous development of fertilizer technology, overcapacity of grain is an inevitable trend.

Even if grain exporters like Austria do not promote industrial fertilizer technology, those grain importers will promote it.

Although the output of fertilizers used in later generations is not as rapid as that of several times, the output can still be increased by tens of percent.

Grain production capacity can increase significantly, but the demand for grain in the market cannot soar so much in a year.

Phosphorus fertilizer has been born and has begun to be used on a large scale; potassium fertilizer has been born in the laboratory of the Royal Academy of Sciences, and it is not promoted to maintain the stability of food prices.

As for the ammonia fertilizer and compound fertilizers that are behind, there is no trace yet. Human needs are the driving force for technological progress, and Austria is now the one with insufficient motivation.

In order to make more profits in agricultural product exports, Franz is not very active in research on fertilizer technology to increase grain production capacity on a large scale.

For many green food advocates in later generations, perhaps this is the best era. Pure green foods that do not use chemical fertilizers and pesticides are everywhere on the streets.

Expanding the market is even more of a joke. Has the domestic food demand market not expanded?

However, as the market expands, our grain production capacity is also growing simultaneously, and even the growth rate is faster.

This is based on the premise that domestic agricultural production technology is backward. If the latest agricultural production technology is adopted, domestic grain production capacity can be increased by one third.

If it weren’t for the fact that the food production capacity had increased and the sales could not be found, the Ministry of Agriculture would have been promoting new technologies long ago.”

Although the words are not very nice, Alexander III knew that this was true, and it was not realistic to reduce production capacity and expand the market.

"Once the French plan is completed, Austria will suffer heavy losses. What is the Vienna government going to do?" Alexander III asked in anticipation

There is nothing to be embarrassed about. If you can't handle it yourself, just learn from others. The worst thing is that others don't know what to do.

After hesitating for a while, Ballshaq replied: "Your Majesty, the situation in Austria is different from ours.

It is also a major grain exporter, but Austria mainly exports finished grain and by-products, and has a stronger risk resistance than ours.

As early as 1884, Austria's trade volume of agricultural and sideline products and grain industrial products exported by it accounted for 47.9% of the total agricultural product exports, and this proportion is still growing.

The plummeting grain prices have little impact on canned food, biscuits, snacks, and industrial chemical products. Even due to the reduction of production costs, profits will further increase.

The main direct impacts are the sales of finished grains, such as flour, potato flour...

After the decline in grain prices, it will affect the retail market. There is still some time when processing companies can lower the grain purchase price and pass on their own risks..."

Seeing the Tsar's face getting ugly, Ballshaq's voice became smaller and smaller, until he finally shut up.

It is normal for Alexander III to be unhappy. I originally thought that someone would be unlucky with me, but I didn't expect that they would have prepared a way out.

Once Austrian companies lower the price of grain purchases, most of the losses will fall on the Russian Empire, and they cannot refuse.

After all, it is lucky to be able to sell during the agricultural crisis. If you are not lucky, you can only pile it in the warehouse and wait for mold.

Seeing the atmosphere tense, the Chancellor of Finance Alishel Gulov deliberately changed the topic: "No matter how much the losses are transferred, Austrian agriculture will be affected, it is nothing more than a matter of size and size.

Judging from Austria's agricultural scale, even a percentage point decline is enough to make the Vienna government feel hurt.

Once the agricultural crisis breaks out, even if their industrial chain is improved, it will suffer heavy losses. It is impossible for the Vienna government to fail to take action.

There is no movement now. It is probably because they were also stunned by the sudden actions of the French and did not know how to deal with it for a while."

After hearing this explanation, Alexander III's expression was slightly relieved. Just be with him, but it would be too miserable to be alone.

"The Ministry of Foreign Affairs closely monitors Austria's movements and reports to me any abnormal movements."

...

Alexander III did not wait for much time.

On June 11, 1885, Austria sent invitations to exporting agricultural products such as Russia, Denmark, Argentina, the United States, Brazil, etc., preparing to hold the third agricultural summit in Vienna in March next year.

This result made many people feel relieved. It would be good if there was any movement, but the most feared thing was that there was no reaction.

The French farm strategy is just a plan, or to be precise, an intention, and there is no specific plan.

If you want to implement it in detail, it will not take a day or two. Not to mention anything else, just choosing a location will not be done in one or two months.

After the agricultural experts selected the location and completed the preliminary design plan, it is estimated that it will be too late to level the land, and this year will be over.
