Chapter 135: Red Tyrant?

The second more

All the middle and lower classes of France should remember this name in the future, because it was he who gave the middle and lower classes real fairness and freedom, and even Blanqui, who had heard of the possibility of Napoleon's dictatorship and was preparing to riot, was silent before the measures promulgated by the government of the Third Reich.

Blanqui's revolution was only for fairness, but even he did not dare to openly offend the wealthy classes and challenge the largest vested interests in France, but Napoleon dared to do so. In the face of these radical but social justice initiatives, Blanqui and his followers eventually abandoned their intentions of struggle and became loyal supporters of Napoleon.

The name will also be remembered by all the wealthy classes of France, because for them it was the black 1871. A demon who does not protect the property of the rich has appeared in Paris.

The first thing Napoleon did was to send government agents to negotiate with the big monopolistic capitalists, hoping to buy shares at the right price, keep the enterprises running, but make the government the largest controlling party in their enterprises. Because the Banque de France had been nationalized by this time, they had sufficient capital to nationalize important industries. Not everyone is 100 percent cooperative, and some families have hastily rejected negotiators sent by the central government, saying they will never let the government ride around their necks.

In the face of this group of people, Napoleon did not do anything on the surface. But the national gendarmerie, which sniffs out and eradicates traitors, has more power than the police and investigates those who are not in charge.

The primitive accumulation of capital is bloody, and these families or individuals who can monopolize the entire country's industries have more or less invisible shady scenes behind them. Soon, all kinds of charges were listed, and then their charges were thrown directly in front of those responsible.

"There are two paths, either obediently hand over all your shares, or everyone is waiting to go to jail."

At this time, it is impossible for them to negotiate calmly before the election, so they can only cry and hand over all their shares, and obediently bow their heads in front of the power of the government.

All of a sudden, French stocks began to plummet, and the entire financial market was in mourning. Napoleon's approach was not to temporarily end nationalization, but to order the Minister of Finance to rectify the domestic investment market and crack down on speculators.

After the heavy blow, only a bloody butcher remained, and began to reap the property of the capitalists continuously. They even regretted why they had overthrown Napoleon III's Second Empire in the first place and chosen a completely unreasonable Bonaparte guy to power.

It's all the fault of the republicans, and the capitalists all miss the Second Empire!

Cracking down on the investment market, rectifying the financial sector, and nationalizing the lifeblood of the national economy will cause certain losses to the French economy in the short term, leading to the withdrawal of investment. But in the long run, not even in the long run, since the bond trading in Vienna on May 9, 1873, the stock depreciated by hundreds of millions of dong in 24 hours; This was followed by a total credit paralysis and the suspension of trading in securities. The exchange crisis in Vienna soon spread to other exchanges in Europe. And caused the Great Depression in the history of the United States, and at the same time, this Great Depression spread to the heavy industry industry in all European countries, causing a heavy blow. And the trade barriers set up by France and the nationalization of important industries will be a double shield against the economic crisis.

France will emerge from the Great European Depression.

Ahead.

However, the rest of Europe, after seeing what the French government had done, shook their heads and said that the collapse of the Third Reich was not far off. Prime Minister Bismarck even felt that France was not far from civil war, and that in the next year or two, they should have another chance to invade France and force them to sign an agreement to completely take Alsace and Lorraine.

Life at Sanssouci was peaceful, King Wilhelm spent much of his time in this lavish palace after his accession to the throne, and three dynastic wars laid the foundation for his great career, and now he ceded the helmsman of the German advance to Bismarck. And hopefully Bismarck will lead the country to become a well-deserved continental empire.

Bismarck never disappointed Kaiser Wilhelm, and after becoming Chancellor of the Second German Reich, he became more diligent in his administration. He even ran to King William's side from time to time to discuss the international situation in Europe.

And the various means of "nationalization" recently implemented by Napoleon on the territory of France, attracted the attention of the Germans. Bismarck, however, received a telegram from the German ambassador to France, and after reading it carefully, he only let out a disdainful boo.

"I thought he had some idea at first, but now he looks more like a French gravedigger."

"No government would destroy the Great Wall like this, look at what Napoleon was doing? Under the guise of rectifying the economic sector, wantonly destroying and plundering the wealth of the wealthy, and soon those who are disgruntled will unite and either oust him from power or start a riot and revolution. In the event of civil strife in France, our troops should quickly enter France and take control of their territory. Then reach an agreement with the rebellious army to overthrow the current government in Paris and establish a new regime. ”

Bismarck thought his plan was seamless, and he only had to wait for the opportunity for civil strife in France.

"What if it doesn't show up?"

King William asked, "If we don't show up, we will have no excuse to attack France." ”

"Of course there will be a chance, has His Majesty forgotten that if you want to provoke a war, there is definitely an excuse. It's just that we have to prepare in advance. ”

Unite Russia and Austria, win over Britain, and prevent any major power from forming an alliance with France. Solidify and guarantee the hegemonic position that Germany has also achieved on the European continent. For this reason, Bismarck pursued a balance-of-power diplomacy called "continental policy", which made Germany's balance-of-power policy different from Britain's balance-of-power policy due to geopolitical reasons and strength. Germany's balance of power was actually borrowed from Metternich's policy in Austria. Therefore, before the collapse of the alliance, the establishment of Bismarck's continental balance-of-power system can be said to be the culmination of balance-of-power diplomacy.

Alsace and Lorraine had not become German territory at this time, as they had historically been, and the events of 1873 in Nancy would not have happened, and Bismarck would have had to find other excuses to provoke war.

"In my opinion, coming to Paris will be a rearmament and military exercises. We can provoke them to have another purpose in military exercises, to start a threat of war and force Paris to surrender Alsace completely. ”

King Wilhelm nodded, and he completely let Bismarck do the affairs of internal affairs. In addition to determining the basic policy of foreign affairs, he did not do much to mix.

"Next month is the time for the London Channel Agreement to be renegotiated and signed, and we must win the Russians over to this side and further isolate France."

Bismarck said with conviction, "This time we have prepared a small surprise for France, and I hope Paris will not be too surprised." ”

Almost the entire European country gloated over Napoleon's policies, almost making a bet to see when the Third Reich would collapse. Everyone else without exception felt that the so-called Napoleon did not have any extraordinary domestic political measures, but was more like the biggest spy sent by Germany to Paris, ready to bring down France.

Napoleon did not care about the criticism of others. He also has no time to pay attention to how others look at his policies with shocking eyes, because he has to suppress the discontent of the capitalists.

As the second violinist of the communist international movement, Engels has always followed the Franco-Prussian War, from the beginning of the defeat of Napoleon III to the establishment of the current Third Reich, and he even did a detailed research. The blackboard was densely nailed with newspaper clippings, articles, and red lines, and in the middle of all the clutter was the name of one person, Napoleon.

Engels marked a question mark under this name, for him, the identity of "Napoleon" was the biggest mystery in the entire Franco-Prussian War, and what interested him even more was Napoleon's political measures, which were simply the proletarian ideology to guide capitalist policy.

"It was not easy for Napoleon to nationalize the important monopolies of the state, to protect the rights of the working class, but at the same time to vigorously prevent the insurrection of the proletariat."

Engels annotated a few sentences on the manuscript paper, and after a second thought, he drew it off the paper. He had never seen anyone so firmly safeguard the interests of the workers, and if it were only a sympathizer of socialism, there would be no need to lay a dead hand on the capitalists, or even nationalize an important economic lifeline. However, judging by his various means, this man is a typical dictator, not a savior of the working class.

Regarding the content of the Franco-Prussian War volume, he started from the beginning. If he had been a staunch anti-socialist like Thiers, he would have scolded him with the same pen as Marx, but judging by Napoleon's measures, he could not hate this man. It even reminded him of the French Prime Minister Richelieu. The difference is that the former's every move is for France, while the latter is only to maintain the rule of the Bourbons.

After thinking about it for a while, Engels wrote a few lines under the horizontal line that he had spent before, "He is a very interesting ruler, and he doesn't even know how to begin." His policy was undoubtedly the first great attempt of our economics in France, and the first application of proletarian economy in Paris. ”

The ink-stained quill paused, a drop of black ink fell on the letterhead, and Engels finally marked a line below the beginning.

"A red tyrant?"
