To quell the revolutionary tide, stabilize the situation on the European Continent, and revive the European economy, the Continental Alliance decided to convene a European Economic Summit in Vienna.
Strictly speaking, this could only be considered a Continental Alliance Economic Summit. Only members of the Continental Alliance attended; Britain and France were both excluded from the guest list. No reason was needed—they simply did not want to play with them anymore.
The nations had no choice but to convene the European Economic Summit at this time. After the economic crisis erupted, every country's economy had suffered a heavy blow. The more economically developed a country was, the harder it had been hit.
Lacking experience in dealing with such a crisis, the various governments had failed to act in time, allowing the crisis to spread and social tensions to surge sharply.
Once the revolutionary tide rose, governments everywhere brought out their "great relief measure" to stabilize their domestic situations.
The "great relief measure" was remarkably effective. Once people could barely fill their stomachs, the revolutionaries quickly lost their momentum. Its only flaw was that it cost far too much money.
The Continental Alliance had never lacked poor countries to begin with. During the economic crisis, government revenues had plummeted across the board, and now they still had to spend money "relieving" the unemployed populace. This was a test for every nation's finances.
Aside from the Holy Roman Empire, the Netherlands, Montenegro, Armenia, and the Nordic Federation, every one of the rest had either already gone bankrupt or stood on the brink of bankruptcy.
There was no need to mention the Holy Roman Empire. It had a solid foundation and had been the first to take countermeasures, stabilizing its domestic real economy. It had now passed through the most dangerous period.
