Holy Roman Empire

Looking forward to the stars and looking to the moon, the news of the Indian uprising finally reached Vienna in July, and Franz knew that the British were in trouble.

During this period, 40,000 British troops and 230,000 Indian troops controlled the Indian subcontinent.Since the beginning of 1857, the Indian Legion has continuously heard news of mutiny, but they have been suppressed by the British.

On May 10, the three Indian Corps launched an uprising, occupied the ancient capital Delhi, and announced the restoration of the Mughal Empire, which caused a shock in India and the uprising wave spread rapidly throughout the country.

Without saying that, Franz fulfilled his ally's obligations and notified the St. Petersburg government as soon as possible.I do n’t know what will happen next.

If the Anglo-Austrian negotiations are successful, then the Vienna government will be very peaceful and will not do anything; if the negotiations break down, it is also necessary to support the independence movement of the Indian people.

Prime Minister Felix said aggressively: "Your Majesty, the time is ripe.

The war between the British and Persia is still not over, and now the Indian uprising has erupted, and I am afraid that St. Petersburg ’s ambitions for India will be unbearable.

The London government is overwhelmed by the need for us to make a friendly state visit to the Ottoman Empire to enhance the friendship between the two sides."

Friendship, when did the Habsburg dynasty have friendship with the Ottoman Empire?

Turning over the family history, it is a history of blood and tears with the Ottoman Empire, not just an ancestor who wanted to get down the Ottoman Empire.

In the generation of Franz, finally seeing the dawn, the Ottoman Empire was driven out of the Balkan Peninsula. The behemoth that once threatened the survival of the Habsburg dynasty has now become a soft-foot shrimp.

Franz smiled and said, "Then choose a beautiful and beautiful day and pay a state visit to the Sudanese government!"

In view of the long-standing traditional friendship between the two countries, the fall of the Ottoman Empire is a sacred responsibility that the heirs of the Habsburg dynasty cannot shirk, and it must be implemented without any discount.

Colonial Minister Josip Jelacic suggested: "Your Majesty, we should move on the African continent. Now the French have accelerated the pace of expansion on the African continent, and we will fall behind if we drag it on."

Interest is always the best catalyst. Only three years ago, with the support of Franz, the Vienna government also adopted the national policy of overseas colonization with only a slight advantage.

Up to now, even the traditional conservatives, no one opposes overseas colonial activities.

On the whole, the Austrian colonies are still at a loss, but this is not the case.The colonies increased the domestic market for industrial and commercial products, and the gold excavated solved the embarrassment of Austria ’s lack of gold reserves.

The gold mines excavated in this era are all easy-to-mine rich minerals, and dozens of tons of gold flow into Austria every year, stabilizing the value of Aegis.

It can be said that without the gold in the Gulf of Guinea, the reform of the Vienna government ’s gold standard will not be so smooth.

In addition, there were fewer unstable people in the country. The colony gave ambitious space to the ambitions and made many people rich.

Franz thought for a while and said: "Yes, but the Kingdom of Tekrul in the Nigeria region is ambitious and wants to further build an empire and initiate the so-called jihad.

Let the locals fight inside and wait until they are about to fight. Then we will shoot and sell some old-fashioned weapons to them."

Not to mention the underground resources, the Nigerian region is near the equator. The land is fertile and has sufficient rain. It is suitable for growing tropical crops such as peanuts, palms, cocoa, rubber ...

For those who are keen to develop a farm, this is a treasure.The area of ​​arable land that can be developed is more than 60 million hectares, enough to feed hundreds of millions of people.

At present, it is the nobles in the country who are pushing to move to Nigeria. Many people who lost their land in the Great Revolution want to make up for it overseas.

This is the result of the guidance of the Vienna government. It is effective in all directions. It is universal in any country. In this regard, the Vienna government has done very well.

High-level government officials have opened plantations overseas, making many people feel profitable and have joined in this activity.

The royal family first ran horse farms in Guinea and the Congolese colony. At present, seven or eight plantations have been planned, including rubber plantations, cotton plantations, coffee plantations, cocoa plantations ... the total area exceeds 1.5 million hectares.

Of course, this is only a theoretical plan, and when it will be completed is still an unknown.

Up to now, the royal family has developed more than 15,000 hectares of land, and the rest of the area is still working hard with a bunch of lumberjacks.

It is necessary to cut down the trees, burn the grass on the ground, drain the water in the depression, and wipe out the local poisonous insects before developing farmland.

In the absence of sufficient labor, forced to use local people as labor, this work efficiency is difficult to improve.

Franz has sent people to introduce labor in East Asia, and farming is also a technical task, especially the wasteland development requires technology. The local indigenous people are obviously not suitable for this job.

Austria prohibits the use of slaves. For the long-term security of the colony, the colonial government also banned the use of slaves, and even labor protection laws were strictly enforced.

Of course, "strict enforcement" also depends on the situation. Of course, immigration from the country is strictly protected. These are valuable assets.

For local workers, the supervision is naturally not so strict, and the biggest problem is a fine.Unless someone makes a mixed race, they won't go to jail.

Essentially, this is also to limit the capitalists' dependence on local labor and the spread of disease.

The Labor Protection Law clearly tells everyone that once the issue of colonial labor shortage is resolved, then the Labor Protection Law will be strictly enforced, and local laborers should use it as little as possible.

In order to reduce the conflict between the colonial government and the indigenous tribes, the colonial government implements a policy of encouraging immigration, which includes two parts: one is to encourage domestic people to immigrate to the colony; one is to encourage local indigenous immigrants to the Americas.

On this issue, the Vienna government has reached immigration agreements with the United States, Brazil, Argentina, Portugal, Spain and other countries.

The treaty stipulates that countries can freely introduce indigenous immigrants in the Austrian colonies, and the colonial government does not impose any restrictions.

The Vienna government will also reward individuals or organizations with outstanding performance in immigration work. The current standard is that for every ten local immigrants taken away, 2 Aegis will be awarded.

Under this favorable condition, more than 100,000 black immigrants leave the Austrian colonies every year, greatly reducing the conflict between the colonial government and the local indigenous tribes.
