Franz's sewing machines not only occupied the entire Central European market, but also exported abroad, and even the United Kingdom, known as the "world's factory", was not spared.

This kind of money-making business will naturally attract the eyes of businessmen from other countries, so many powerful businessmen have followed suit, but the design that does not seem complicated has made many people overturn.

All kinds of problems emerge one after another, the failure rate is surprisingly high, and repeated comparative studies cannot find a reason.

In fact, this is the problem of standardized production, during this period people have not yet realized the importance of standardized production, only a very small number of industries to achieve standardized production of parts.

Austria has long standardized its parts, and the emergence of new hydraulic presses has also made Austria's parts manufacturing industry a world leader.

The hydraulic presses that were common in this period were less than 1% of the power of the Austrians, and the steam forging hammer, which was destined to be obsolete by history, was even less useful, and even if they thought of it, they could not achieve the same effect as the Austrians.

One less iron nail,

Lost a country.

It is the seemingly inconspicuous parts that discredit the imitators of European countries. Of course, some people eat deflated, and some people benefit, made in Austria, Viennese craftsmanship, craftsmanship, Franz took the opportunity to hype it up in the newspapers, and all kinds of "chicken soup" flowed across the European continent.

This was naturally fueled by mainstream media such as the British newspaper The Times, the French Century and La Newse (the famous newspaper Figaro was discontinued), the Frankfurter News, Good Night, Vienna (controlled by Franz), and the Berlin Morning Post.

(The last two were edited by me, and before 1848 Austria and Prussia had strict censorship of books and newspapers, and there were no influential newspapers at all, and after 1842 Prussia did have a Rheinische Zeitung, but it was soon banned.) ）

Naturally, there were many spiritual Austrians under this propaganda, especially in the German and Apennine regions, which had close ties with Austria, and a strange trend of thought was spreading.

But local governments don't pay much attention to this kind of thing, but more and more migrant workers and immigrants are coming to Austria.

There is also a strange sense of superiority that grows for those who are already in Austria, regardless of their nationality or whether they are Austrian or not.

St. Petersburg, Russia.

Economic recession is an important problem for Russia now, and with the end of the Turkish-Egyptian war, Russian-Turkish trade is becoming more and more difficult to do.

Britain had already regarded the Ottomans as their own confiner, and it was certainly impossible for Russia to accept that Russia would continue to collect wool from the Ottoman Empire. The tsar was furious, but in the face of Britain, which was isolated abroad, the European gendarmes had no choice but to give up.

As a result, the Russians had a surplus of food, and fortunately, at this time, the Prussian Junker aristocracy extended a "helping hand", but the house leak happened to rain overnight, the Spanish Civil War ended, and the Russians lost an important market again.

At this time, there were people in Russia who started a business to sell serfs, but it was very ridiculous that neither the United States nor the French colonies of Texas refused to accept Russian serfs.

So the Russian merchants had to look to South America, and the Argentine farmers were struggling with the shortage of whites, so they threw large orders to Russia.

However, the serfs did not end up in the hands of the Argentines because the Russian merchants neglected one man. It was Tsar Nicholas I, a man of great tradition and a self-proclaimed loving father to the serfs of all Russia.

How could a loving father sell his children, of course, to keep them "at home for happiness." So the tsar's gendarmes stormed the merchants' homes and threw those who tried to defy the tsar's will into prison.

In fact, contrary to what many people think, the tsar did not like to kill so much, but it is certain that these captured businessmen will be stripped of their skin.

The Argentines who had not received the serfs wanted to recover their deposits, and Tsar Nicholas I not only refused to pay compensation, but instead withheld the debt collectors and prepared to retaliate.

But this kind of thing does not happen every day, and if we want to reverse the decline of the economy, we need to start from the two major aspects of open source and throttling.

Because there are British, Ottomans, Persians, the Khiva Khanate in Central Asia, the Qing Empire, and the colonies of British Canada.

There were disgruntled aristocrats, radical reformers, Polish regents, South Russian Cossacks, Caucasus natives (Chechnya, Georgia), Siberian natives and rebels, as well as those "restless" Jews.

In fact, the so-called restless Jews are completely empty targets, for example, 99% of the merchants involved in the slave trade this time are pure Slavs, and some of them have German blood, and there are no Jews involved at all.

The whole country needs money everywhere, and the South Russian Railway and the Trans-Siberian Railway, which Nicholas I had in mind, have not yet started construction and cannot afford it.

At this time, there were only two railways in the whole of Russia, one was the serf-turned-craftsman Yefim in 1834. Cherebanov and Milon. The Cherebanovs built a railway at the Nizhny Tagil Metallurgical Plant in the Urals region, the tracks were cast in pig iron with a total length of 854 meters, often pulled by horses.

The other was built by the Austrian engineer Geistner, the Tsarschasmen Railway, which was 26 kilometers long.

Because the machinery manufacturing industry in Russia was very bad at that time, the traction capacity was not as good as that of horses, and it took several steam locomotives to build success, and what is even more strange is that steam locomotives were only used on Saturdays and Sundays in the early days, and horses were used to pull them in normal times, and this phenomenon did not end until 1838.

The St. Petersburg-Tsarschon Railway runs two pairs of passenger trains a day, of which on Saturdays and Sundays are pulled by steam locomotives, which are usually pulled by horses, until 1838, when all steam locomotives were used.

Therefore, if Russia wants to reverse the economic decline, the only way to open source at this time is to open source.

But the problem is that Russia, despite its vast land, has very few goods that can be accepted by other countries, and even before the end of the Napoleonic Wars, the fist product of their export trade was animal fur.

Now the largest commodities are grain and timber, and Britain is the largest importer of Russian timber, and the Egyptians had imported Russian timber in large quantities for the construction of their navy, but at this time a large amount of high-quality timber could only be sold to the British.

After the food crisis and the Turkish-Egyptian war, coupled with the abrupt end of the Spanish Civil War, the export of goods from Russia entered a cold winter.

Franz was naturally aware of this situation, so he planned to pull Russia along.

Of course, to negotiate business with the Tsar, the Jew of Sina, or a Polish like Adjani, is not very suitable.

"Oh, Carl! My friend, what is the wind that has brought you here? ”

Tsar Nicholas I admired soldiers very much, and even regarded himself as a soldier, so he naturally favored Archduke Karl, who was also a soldier.
