Chapter 119, Deception and Trickery

As time passed, the rising anti-France movement in the Germany Region gradually spread to the Austrian Region.

Although the voices calling for a break in France-Austria trade were not loud, the calls for people to boycott French goods were incessant.

As a result, the total import and export trade between France and Austria in the first quarter of 1889 decreased sharply by 36.8% compared to the same period last year, and goods with French labels were almost unseen on the market.

Not only Austria was affected, with the push of interests, the anti-France wave gradually spread throughout the European world.

Even in Britain, which had just formed an alliance with France, a movement to boycott French goods erupted. Capital only cares about profits, not international relations.

Competitors are enemies, when French goods were boycotted, their own goods could be sold a bit more. Why pass up an opportunity to make money?
