The British Government was not only troubled by the international situation but also by the accompanying economic issues.
If nothing unexpected occurred, the markets abandoned by the French would largely be taken over by Austrian industrial and commercial products, leaving Britannia to pick up only scraps and leftovers.
The law of "the strong get stronger" applied here as well. Austria, already an industrial powerhouse, now captured the French markets, ensuring further development of its domestic industry and commerce.
Anyone with a bit of common sense knew that the more industrial and commercial products were produced, the lower the cost would be, thus strengthening market competitiveness.
The market being finite, the further development of Austria's industry and commerce was bound to compete with Britannia.
Not to mention other regions, Britannia's market share in Europe would definitely be squeezed.
