Bab 637: Chapter 210: The French's New Plan

Since ancient times, it has always been easy to discover problems but difficult to solve them. Everyone can see the developmental dilemmas that France faces, but finding a way out of these difficulties remains a puzzle.

Finance Minister Allen: "Your Majesty, learn from the Austrians and develop the colonies! France possesses more than ten million square kilometers of colonial territories; if these are exploited, we can solve the majority of our domestic need for industrial raw materials."

"Developing the colonies" was not a new proposal. As early as the era of Napoleon III, the French government had formulated an ambitious colonial development plan.

For this purpose, the French government also launched a large-scale immigration plan, successively relocating millions of people from the Balkan Peninsula, the Italian Area, and the mainland to fill the regions of North Africa.
