"An era called industrialization has arrived, and those who are unwilling to conform to the times will be crushed by the times!"

Franz Joseph, who left the restaurant, still echoed what Jerome Bonaparte said in the restaurant. Although he was still a little confused, he was still able to use the words of Jerome Bonaparte. I felt a rush of wind and rain.

What should I do if the Austrian Empire really faces the dilemma that Jerome Bonaparte said?

Franz Joseph unconsciously brought himself into the world that Jerome Bonaparte called the disappearance of the aristocracy. He found that he had no way to change at all, and a sense of powerlessness poured into Franz Joseph's. mind.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" When Prince Metternich's voice reached Franz Joseph's ears, Franz Joseph, who had come to his senses, found himself at the end of the corridor.

"Mr. Metternich, I..." Franz Joseph turned around, he wanted to say something to Prince Metternich, but in the end he just opened his mouth and said nothing.

"Your Majesty, are you still worried about His Majesty Jerome Bonaparte's "theory of extinction of aristocracy"?" Prince Metternich saw Franz Joseph's worry at a glance.

Franz Joseph hesitated for a moment, then nodded and acknowledged Prince Metternich's guess.

"Your Majesty, in my opinion, you don't need to worry so much! Some things will come! We can't worry about the future all day long!" Prince Metternich comforted Franz Joseph and said: " Besides, what His Majesty Jerome Bonaparte said is not necessarily correct!"

Hearing Prince Metternich's words of relief, Franz Joseph barely felt a trace of comfort in his heart. He nodded and replied to Prince Metternich, "You are right!"

"However, I think His Majesty Jerome Bonaparte said something right!" Metternich then responded to Franz Joseph.

"Which sentence?" Franz Joseph asked curiously.

"The industrialized first-mover countries have completed the transformation. If the Austrian Empire does not catch up, we may become the victims of the first-mover countries!" Prince Metternich responded to Franz Joseph.

"But will excessive development speed up the demise of the nobility!" Franz Joseph was still worried about the demise of the nobility system.

"Your Majesty!" Prince Metternich couldn't help but sternly said, "If the Austrian Empire does not even exist, then how can the nobles who are attached to the soil of the Empire continue to survive!"

Franz Joseph immediately realized that he had put the cart before the horse because he was overly worried about the extinction of the aristocratic system.

The nobility is indeed the key to maintaining the empire, but the nobility is not the whole of the empire.

The destruction of the empire will inevitably lead to the demise of the nobility, but the demise of the nobility does not necessarily lead to the destruction of the empire.

If you are blindly worried that industrialization will lead to the demise of the nobles and are unwilling to develop, then the empire will probably perish under the influence of external forces.

After all, even if the Austrian Empire is friendly with the French Empire, it still has two enemies, the Russian Empire and the Kingdom of Prussia.

If the Austrian Empire had to rely on the French Empire for everything, then the independence of the Austrian Empire would gradually disappear.

If the Austrian Empire wanted to maintain its independent and self-reliant status in the system constructed by France (although this status was relative), it had to have strength that matched its status.

Even if the Austrian Empire cannot defeat the Russian Empire, at least the Austrian Empire cannot have the ability to defeat the Kingdom of Prussia alone!

"The problem of the industrialization of the empire, you have to worry about it!" Franz Joseph said to Prince Metternich.

In the entire Austrian Empire, the only person who really understands the concept of industrialization is this Prince Metternich, so Franz Joseph had to choose to reuse Prince Metternich.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Prince Metternich, who was instructed by Franz Joseph, responded to Franz Joseph in a sonorous tone.

There was a hunch telling him that as long as he could do this well, he would be able to get rid of the title of advisor and be reactivated.

So, Prince Metternich assured Franz Joseph that he would use this time in Paris to sort out a path for the Austrian Empire that belonged to the Austrian Empire.

However, Prince Metternich also hopes that his son, Richard Metternich, can help him write together, because Richard Metternich not only stayed with him in Belgium and Britain, but also has a deep understanding of France. Research.

Facing Prince Metternich's request to push his son out, Franz Joseph did not object.

If Richard Metternich is a good candidate, of course Franz Joseph would not mind letting him hold the post of Prime Minister.

For Franz Joseph, it doesn't matter who is the prime minister, but who can make the Austrian Empire stronger.

Thinking back to when Prince Felix Schwarzenberg was in power, he didn't satisfy all Felix Schwarzenberg's conditions as much as possible!

"Mr. Metternich, I'm looking forward to your official document!" Franz Joseph responded to Prince Metternich, and then went straight back to his room.

Prince Metternich, who watched Franz Joseph leave, immediately found Mocar, the head of the palace, and asked Mocar if he could call his son Richard Metternich to the Tuileries Palace.

"Your Majesty, if it's someone else's word, I might consider it!" Mokar said to Prince Metternich: "But if it's Mr. Richard Metternich, then there's nothing wrong!"

"My son is very popular at the Tuileries Palace?" Prince Metternich asked Mokar curiously.

"Your Majesty is a person who likes to be a teacher!" Mokar lowered his voice and said Richard Metternich: "I once heard him say that two of the students he taught were the crown prince of the Kingdom of Two Sicilies and the other It's your son!"

"We are deeply honored to be valued by His Majesty!" Prince Metternich said in a complimenting tone.

"Okay! You must never tell anyone these words!" Mokar said to Metternich, "If His Majesty finds out, I will be guilty of a great sin!"

"Definitely! Certainly!" Prince Metternich nodded.

Prince Metternich, who had parted with Mokar, returned to his room and waited for Richard Metternich to arrive. After about half an hour, Richard Metternich pushed the door open.

"Father, did you call me?" Richard Metternich, who entered the room, asked Prince Metternich in a submissive tone.

"You've grown up!" Looking at the son in front of him, Prince Metternich recalled how happy Richard Metternich was when he was still in his infancy. Twenty years have passed in the blink of an eye. Five years later, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

Richard Metternich also nodded, and then asked why Prince Metternich called him here.

Prince Metternich told Richard Metternich that he asked Richard Metternich to come and say that he wanted Richard to assist him in formulating the road to industrialization of the empire.

"Father, if the empire wants to complete its industrialization, I am afraid it will need a lot of money!" Richard Metternich said to Prince Metternich: "This money is not something that millions, or even tens of millions of florens, can accomplish! It requires a long-term investment of hundreds of millions, or even billions of florences, to develop!

As far as I know, France has invested no less than 1.5 billion francs in railways alone, and their bonds are almost financing the whole of Europe! Financing in other fields can be said to be only a lot more! "

When Prince Metternich heard about the funds for the industrialization of France, he also doubled the number of industrialization in his mind.

"I know that the power of the Austrian Empire alone cannot accomplish this great feat, so I plan to invite France to help the Austrian Empire industrialize!" Prince Metternich responded to Richard Metternich: "The French Empire has second only to the Kingdom of Great Britain in financial resources, and with his help our path will be much easier."

"If His Majesty is really willing to let the French Empire finance, that would be great!" Richard Metternich told Prince Metternich, talking to Jerome Bonaparte when he was at the train station financing issues.

However, Richard Metternich did not tell Prince Metternich about Hungary.

"If it's just financing, then the Austrian Empire needs to bear a lot of interest!" Prince Metternich frowned and said to Richard Metternich: "Can you attract some companies and let them Open a branch in the Austrian Empire. The Austrian Empire can give lower prices than French workers!"

If Jerome Bonaparte was also in this room, he would have been surprised by Prince Metternich's "shocking" words.

Because Prince Metternich's thinking has completely "detached" from this era, he uses cheap labor to attract foreign companies to invest, so as to achieve the goal of the first pot of gold.

This is exactly the idea of ​​industrial transfer in the 20th century. Developed countries transferred some low-value-added industries to the third world to reduce costs, and then used the costs earned abroad to buy off the domestic proletariat, making the proletariat internal differentiation.

"This is indeed a good idea!" Richard Metternich also nodded.

Even a group like the French workers who work all day has the highest salaries in Europe.

The factory in the British Kingdom next door is called a three-year change of people. The factory in France is tired, but at least it does not consume as fast as in Britain!

If the workers of the Austrian Empire are really lower than that of France, then many entrepreneurs can be attracted to invest in Austria!
