After pausing for a while, Napoleon IV nodded: "It's really not good. If you reply too directly, our allies will feel uncomfortable.

Why don’t you reorganize the language, talk more about the difficulties we face, and soothe their wounded hearts?"

Carrel Kadelec was reluctant to speak but stopped. No matter how he replied, it could not change the fact that the French government was a fisherman.

Perhaps before the outbreak of the British-Russian War, the French government had to worry about their feelings, and now it was no longer necessary.

Even if Britain and Russia have resentment, it will be a matter after the war ends.

The current international situation is very obvious. Austria supports the Russians. France's position will directly affect the outcome of the war.

France remained neutral or supported Britain, and this war could continue; if France supported the Russians, Britain would not be able to compete with the three great powers at the same time.

How can you give up this opportunity to quarrel?

To stimulate Britain and Russia is actually to make the two countries give more sincere prices. After all, people cannot recognize themselves at any time.

Prime Minister Terence Bulkin proposed: "Your Majesty, the British-Russian War has broken out and it seems that it will not be over in a short period of time. We are considering implementing the next strategy."

For the French Empire, the rift between Britain and Russia can only be considered a small profit.

The greatest benefit of the outbreak of the British-Russian War to France was that the shackles imposed on their heads were gone.

Now Austria is the only one who can restrict France, but this is just a restriction and is not enough to fear the French government.

Foreign Minister Carrel Kadletz: "In the end, wait first. The British-Russian War has just begun and the two sides have not yet made a real fire.

Our movements are too large and stimulate their sensitive nerves. Britain and Russia are likely to stop first.

Just like the Near East War back then, Austria wanted to unify the German region, so would the warring countries stop first.

If the Austrians restrained their emotions and waited until the end of the Near East War, no one would be able to stop them."

The Vienna government failed to use the First Near East War to unify the German region, which triggered interference from European countries and finally only annexed South Germany.

In Carrel Kadletz's view, it is a ready-made negative example. If there are more days, wait for the Russian army to attack the city of Constantinople before taking action, it will be a completely different result.

Minister of Economic Affairs Elsa opted: "Austria's failure to unify the German region was not only the interference of European countries, but also the fierce opposition of the Kingdom of Prussia.

The Vienna government did not have the confidence to fight a civil war and could only sit back and watch the German region split, even if it was waiting until the end.

Our current situation is different. It is just that Germany sells several coal mines, and does not directly annex the two countries. Even if Britain and Russia are dissatisfied, they will endure it first.

The only one who has the ability to interfere is Austria. Neither Biden has the courage to fight with us. I don’t think that the Vienna government will fight with us for Biden, which is not in their interest.

As long as the established fact is created, most Austrians will shout a few times and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will come forward to comfort them.

In recent years, our economy has recovered rapidly, but it is still difficult to surpass our peak period.

The main factor restricting our economic growth is the insufficient domestic coal supply and too high prices, which increases industrial production costs.

This may not be very intuitive, give a simple example:

After the outbreak of the British-Russian War, export trade among European countries increased. Just last month, our total export trade volume increased by 0.7 percentage points year-on-year, setting a record high growth rate in eight years.

However, the total export trade volume of European countries exceeded 1 percentage point, while the total export trade volume of Austria increased by at least 2 percentage points.

We are behind again. This is not because the domestic industry is not working hard. In fact, no one works harder than capitalists when it comes to making money.

However, the domestic coal shortage is obviously more than that of Germany, but they want to hoard goods and force us to spend more money to buy.

They are just a bunch of vampires, lying on the heads of the French business community and devouring our wealth.

Now, France will lose its money for a day..."

Annexation is too difficult than Germany. Even if only one is annexation, it will cause big trouble.

Although he has not been beaten by society, there are still traces of the shadow of the anti-French war.

In order to reduce risks, the French government silently lowered its target and subdivided the plan to annex Biden and Germany, preparing to blackmail several mines from the hands of the two countries.

"Housing" is just an excuse Elsa found. In fact, the rise in coal prices is just a normal business behavior.

If capitalists want to gain greater benefits, they will naturally not give up any opportunities. After the outbreak of the British-Russian War, the prices of many commodities in Europe rose slightly.

However, the domestic capitalists in France could not bear it anymore. They were ready to make money in war, but suddenly they found that the energy prices also rose.

Those who are expected to make 10 million francs can only make 9 million francs due to the rise in energy prices, which is equivalent to losing 1 million francs.

French capitalists are naturally unwilling to share profits with others. In order to maximize their interests, everyone has mobilized their influence and encouraged the government to grab coal mines in Biden and Germany.

Foreign Minister Carrel Kadrez shook his head: "Don't forget that coal mines have masters. What if the governments of Germany reject the transaction we proposed on the grounds that their private property is sacred and inviolable?

Send troops to fight and rob, are you sure they dare not go to war with us?

Forget Belgium, the German Federation is not weak. Once those small states unite, we cannot take it down in a short time.

Once the war is stalemate, the Austrians will take advantage of the situation and Britain and Russia will also contribute to the fire.

If it were just Austria, we could withstand it, but the problem was that they would inspire European countries to fight against us together.

No matter how powerful the Imperial Army is, it cannot unite with European countries. Once the war begins, we will no longer be able to control it later.

To be on the safe side, we'd better wait for Britain and Russia to make a real fuss and force European countries to take sides.

After the European countries are divided into two waves, we will force BiGermany to make concessions. Even if the situation is out of control, we will not fight alone if there is an alliance."

Failure makes people grow. As France's foreign minister, Carrel Cardrec deeply realized the root cause of France's failure in the anti-French war - few allies and many enemies.

In order to avoid repeating the same mistakes, Carrel Kadletz has always advocated: provoke conflicts among European countries and divide relations between countries.

His contribution is indispensable to this British-Russian War.

After listening to the foreign minister's explanation, Napoleon IV's eager heart suddenly cooled down. He was over the age of ignorance, and Napoleon IV also learned to weigh the pros and cons.

"Karel said it well. Now is not the best time. The most important thing now is to continue to promote the process of the British-Russian War.

Only when both of them suffer losses can our eastward plan proceed smoothly.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs stimulated the Russians and told the Tsarist government that as long as they conquer Herat or the Vakhan Corridor, we would issue billions of francs of war bonds for them."

There is no way to incite the Russians. The British government is too rational and it is too difficult to fool them.

Once the British army wins the battlefield and expels the Russians from Afghanistan, the British government will stop when it comes to goodbye.

It would be different if the Tsarist government was replaced. Once the Afghan region was conquered, the Russians' strategic focus would shift to India.

No one can stop the Russians' ambitions for India. On this issue, the British government cannot compromise, and both sides can only fight to the death.

In this regard, France and Austria have consistent judgments. The Vienna government also contributed money and efforts to support the Tsarist government to fight India.

As for whether the Russians will become bigger after seizing the Indian region, it is completely redundant.

The British Empire is not easy to mess with these days. Once you fight your life, it will be enough to move any country.

With the strength of the Russians, it is not possible to seize India from the British overnight.

Prime Minister Terence Bulkin reminded: "Your Majesty, the British-Russian War has broken out. As the British allies, it is no longer appropriate for us to issue bonds for the Russians."

When tying allies, you must also pay attention to methods. It doesn’t matter if you dig a pit secretly. This kind of flag-promoting destruction and dragging your feet will violate the rules of the game.

It was reported that France's international reputation was completely ruined, and no country dared to play with them.

Napoleon IV smiled slightly: "It doesn't matter. As long as we change the operation method, the British will have nothing to say.

For example: We issue a billion franc commercial bond for Austria, and the Austrians lend this money to the Tsarist government."
