Chapter 370 Fishing Law Enforcement
The actions of the Hungarian Independent Organization can only be regarded as a small disturbance, while the movements of the French Revolutionary Party are considered big.
In January 1865, demonstrations took place in more than 30 cities across France, from Paris to Montauban, as if France had returned to the era of the Great Revolution.
Many people joined the parade in a daze, shouting various slogans, such as:
Some asked the government to support the Polish independence movement, some opposed a certain policy of the government, some advocated support for the Spanish Revolutionary Party, and some opposed the colonial movement...
There is only unexpected, absolutely nothing that can't be shouted.
Obviously, the French Revolutionary Party has also learned to be smart. In recent years, the domestic economy has developed well, and everyone's life is OK. At this time, rebellion will not work.
Those who are strongly dissatisfied with the government are the losers of their rights struggle, as well as a group of idealists.
If you want to overthrow the rule of Napoleon III, the only way is to mess up France first, as long as there is internal chaos, there will be a chance.
The French people are full of internationalism, and they are often very emotional. They want to control what they think is unreasonable, which provides them with opportunities.
At Versailles, the chaotic procession aroused the vigilance of Napoleon III. On the surface, it seems that this is just an ordinary parade, which happens several times every year in France.
But it has happened too frequently recently. Napoleon III, who is experienced in fighting, can see at a glance that there is an organization behind this.
Napoleon III ordered: "Adair, find out the mouse behind the scenes, I'm going to see who is making trouble."
Parades are legal in France and the government has no right to interfere. But the situation is different every day. This not only affects the economy, but also affects people's hearts.
It's not the good old days of "work in spring, vacation in summer, strike in autumn, Christmas in winter".
This era is the time to fight. As early as after the Anti-French War, the French colonial empire collapsed, and now Napoleon III is working hard to build a second colonial empire.
Naturally, the parade that affects the national economy cannot be tolerated to continue. After all, there are many competitors in this year, and if you are not careful, you will fall behind.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Police Minister Adair replied nervously
This is not a good job. In recent years, due to the deterioration of public security caused by the demonstrations, 15 police ministers have stepped down, with an average term of only 10.5 months.
Don't look at the good economic development in the Napoleon III era and the stability of the domestic society, and think that their life was better. In fact they were still sprayed with dog blood as if it was the worst government ever.
The reason is not needed, what reason do you need to touch the dark enemy? The government cannot control public opinion, and the opposition wants to spray it. At most, Napoleon III finds people to fight against them.
Perhaps the position has changed, and Napoleon III has become the maintainer of the rules. No extraordinary measures were taken against these enemies, which left room for the revolutionary party to operate.
Foreign Secretary Abraham said: "Your Majesty, it may have been influenced by the Polish independence movement, and the European revolutionary movement has been on the rise again recently.
First, an uprising broke out in the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies, and the rebels have now controlled one-third of Sicily; then revolutions broke out in Spain and Portugal respectively.
The atmosphere in other European countries has also become tense, and a new round of revolutionary waves may break out again, and we must be vigilant. "
Although the Americans only encouraged the revolutionary groups in these major countries to return to Europe to do business, the revolutionary groups in other countries were also affected.
Seeing the ups and downs of the Polish independence movement, many people took it for granted that a new wave of revolution was coming, and they came out to do things one after another.
For other countries, the problem may not be too serious. For France, this is a big problem.
For some unknown reason, every time a revolutionary wave comes, the French are indispensable, and Paris is known as the Holy Land of the Revolution.
Napoleon III was not at all interested in this kind of reputation. If possible, he would rather Paris be a poor and backward small city than a "revolutionary mecca".
Any monarch who lives in a revolutionary holy place will feel Alexander, for fear of being revolutionized by accident.
Before his accession, Napoleon III was proud of Paris; after his accession, this feeling is gone forever.
If nothing else, the number of strike movements and demonstrations that take place in Paris every year directly exceeds that of the whole of Austria combined.
The number of demonstrations and strikes in France every year exceeds that of other European countries combined. It is really not easy for Napoleon III to secure the throne.
If Franz was given the choice, he would rather go to the colonies to be the tyrant than to be the emperor of France.
This has nothing to do with the quality of the monarch, as long as you open the history book and look at the French revolutionary history.
As a bystander, you can laugh, but as a party, you can only cry. Sitting on a powder keg every day, a policy that makes some people unhappy can lead to a revolution.
The monarchy is not suitable for the wasteful and excess energy of the French people, and the people of Paris have proved with practical actions that only the republic is suitable for them.
Napoleon III thought for a while and said, "This is indeed a problem, and ordered the police in various places to strengthen their alertness, and let the city guards in Paris and the seventh division in Nantes change their defenses."
Switching was the most common method used by Napoleon III. In order to prevent the revolutionaries from colluding with the military, the defenders of Paris were never stationed.

The lessons of the annihilation have already taught him that without a reliable army, the country will be unstable.
...
Artisa was an Italian businessman, and then he was a nationalist, the order cannot be reversed.
Therefore, in the great revolution of 1848, he decisively stood on the victor's side and escaped the catastrophe.
However, that did not change his nature as a nationalist. Over the years, he and a group of like-minded friends have worked hard to promote Italian nationalism.
Under the background of the Vienna government's promotion of national integration, Artisa naturally did not dare to go upstream, but secretly they established the Venice Cultural and Art Exchange Center.
This is purely academic exchange, but the exchanges are all about Italian national culture and art. If it is just a personal hobby, it will not attract the attention of the Austrian intelligence organization.
The key is that they held a youth art and culture training class very desperately, secretly promoted nationalism, and even expressed their desire for Venice's independence from time to time.
Freedom of speech in Austria is not legally criminal as long as these ideas are not preached in public.
From the beginning to the end, they just said it with their mouths, and they didn't get it right. No evidence was left behind, including when these ideas were instilled in teenagers.
During the German Unification War, the local government also deliberately left loopholes, hoping that they would take action to wipe out this group of people.
Regrettably, Atisa and the others are all old fritters, and their ideals have to stand aside in the face of interests.
The Italian region is not unified, and a Venetian region is independent from Austria, and they lose most of the current market, which is not in their interest.
So instead of taking the opportunity to become independent, they persuaded radical nationalists not to act rashly.
This kind of lurker is the most terrifying, they will not rebel against the will, but instead work hard for it.
Atisa has been uneasy recently, always feeling that something bad is happening. As soon as he got home, the old housekeeper handed him a letter.
"Mr. Atisa, this is a letter sent to you by Mr. Stephen."
He met Stephen by chance at a banquet, and the two chatted happily. Stephen also invited him to join the colonial company and go to the African continent to open up colonies.
Having met professional cheaters and a large number of mercenaries as evidence, Atisa did not doubt Stephen's identity.
There are too many people with the same name in Europe. With a popular name like Stephen, there are not 100,000 but 70,000 or 80,000 in Austria, and no one will associate a colonial businessman with the Hungarian Independent Organization.
After opening the letter and reading it for the first time, Atisa's expression changed drastically.
"Nell, did anyone see this letter when you received it?"
Butler Nair replied with a gloomy face: "The messenger handed it to me at the gate. Except for a few street vendors, there are no suspicious persons."
He was very puzzled, completely unable to understand Atisa's nervousness. Isn't it just a letter, even if someone sees it, they don't know what's inside!
Hearing this reply, Atisa confirmed again: "Are those small traders new?"
Nair replied with great certainty: "No, they are the usual people, almost every day."
Atisa breathed a sigh of relief, and then her headache started again. In this year's revolution, aren't you dying in battle?
He couldn't understand what Stephen was thinking at all. As the leader of the Hungarian Independent Organization, he was able to live freely for more than ten years under the pursuit of the Vienna government. Why should he come back now and die?
That’s right, in Atisa’s view, Stephen is dying now. Others don't know the situation in Hungary, how can these well-informed businessmen know about it?
Not to mention independence, it is estimated that the local people will suppress them without waiting for the Vienna government to act.
These situations can also occur in the Venetian region. The national integration movement of the Vienna government still has a role to play.
No matter how hard they tried, the local Germanization became more and more evident. Especially the younger generation, all of them are learning German, and the Italian language has disappeared from compulsory education.
Even if there are still people who insist on instilling it in the next generation, the compulsory education in Austria is very heavy, and the students are very busy every day. How many people will take the initiative to study things that are not tested in school exams?
A few years ago, private schools were still teaching Italian. As a result, the Ministry of Education stopped funding them and listed them as operating companies in the profiteering industry, which required the same high taxes to the government as the luxury industry.
If only the government does not provide funding, everyone can still operate the school. If you are listed in the luxury goods industry, there is absolutely nothing you can do. The tax rate is as high as 95%, so you can't increase the tuition fee by 20 times, right?
No one can hold on to it, no matter how rich and powerful it is. Now in the entire Austrian Empire, there are no schools outside the supervision of the Ministry of Education.
The schools that are legally recognized are all schools that receive government funding, and the rest are corporate training institutions.
These institutions are all subject to tax, and the tax rate standard refers to the profit standard of the same industry. Unfortunately, the school's reference target is compulsory education schools. Compared with zero fees, no matter how much fees are charged, it is considered a hugely profitable industry.
The training centers founded by Atisa and others all rely on donations without charging any fees, otherwise the hats of the lucrative industry would have been deducted from them long ago.
It's not that there are no troublemakers, but it's a pity that the Vienna government is very tough. one
If a thousand people make trouble, one thousand will be arrested, and if 10,000 people make trouble, 10,000 will be arrested. The principal joined the road-building army, and all the accomplices, including their families, were exiled to the colony.
After more than a hundred thousand people were exiled, the rest were settled. Even if you don't think about yourself, you can't ignore your family!
Exiled criminals are not treated like immigrants and are often assigned to the worst conditions and the most dangerous jobs.
Now that Stephen invited him to join the center of the revolutionary team, Artisa immediately decided to draw a line with them. He didn't want to risk his own life.
Without hesitation, Atisa struck a match and lit the letter in her hand.
Not reporting to the government is worthy of friends. Attisa chose to ignore the meeting place in the letter.
Contacting the revolutionary party in Austria is also risky. The Vienna government has always had zero tolerance for these things, and Artisa is not willing to take risks.
After burning the letter, Atisa asked again: "Nell, don't tell anyone about this letter. Stephen and I just met at a banquet, not friends, do you understand?"
Butler Nair replied, "Understood, Mr. Atisa."
The cautious Atisa doesn't know yet, from the moment he preaches nationalism, he has half footed into hell.
Now burning the letters, not reporting it to the government, just sticking the other foot in too.
Without a doubt, this is phishing enforcement. If you take the letter and report the case to the local police station at the first time, it is impossible to be implicated.
If you don't seize the opportunity, there's nothing you can do. Even if you did not participate in the rebellion, it is a crime to not report your knowledge, and no one has been wronged.
