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.
