Holy Roman Empire

The British occupied Queensland in 1859, and Australia fell into the British colonial rule.

Watching the British occupy the Gold Coast, Franz could only sigh.For Austria, Australia is too far away to have the ability to compete.

The only people in the world who have the power to compete with the British for Australia are the French. Obviously Napoleon III has no interest in exile in the mainland.

The French were not idle, constantly intensifying their penetration into the Kingdom of Sardinia, and much of the area bordering France was already controlled by the French.

The number of peacekeeping troops is limited. The troops promised by various countries have not been fulfilled in time. They have only controlled the Turin region.

Regarding the penetration of the French, in addition to the British appealing with a group of younger brothers, the Russians, who were beyond reach, started the melon-eating masses, and the Austrians were busy catching the murderers, ignoring the actions of the French.

The government of London is furious, but unfortunately it is too busy to suppress the Indian rebellion, and there is no way to invest more energy to intervene.

The French government is pro-British. It is based on the premise that there is no conflict of interest.The Kingdom of Sardinia is a piece of fat, and there is not much risk.

The opportunity to expand the territory on the European continent is too rare. Once this opportunity is missed, Napoleon III will not necessarily meet again in his lifetime.

As for the issue of offending the British, the centenary feud between Britain and France is not a joke. Are you afraid of adding another stroke?

Now they are just nibbling away, without swallowing the kingdom of Sardinia, even to save face for the British.

While expanding in Europe, the French also stepped up expansion on the African continent, such as invading Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia and other regions.

At the end of 1859, the reluctant Spain sent 50,000 troops to invade Morocco, captured Tu'an and approached Tangier. The two countries signed the "Tetuan Treaty" under the British mediation.

In contrast, Austria has been quite peaceful this year. Of course, the colony has expanded a bit, but it is all advancing normally and there is no major military action.

The biggest move is probably to send immigrants crazy to the countries of the Americas.

It is worth mentioning that during this year Franz held three state funerals, two of which were of the highest specification.

First Marshal Radsky died, then Metternich hung up again, and then Marshal Julius went to see God.

Field Marshal Radski said it was highly respected and no one objected to holding a state funeral for him.

Metternich became a stain in his political career because of the 1848 Vienna rebellion, and he has offended many people for so many years in power.

When he was alive, these people did not dare to make trouble, and many people jumped out after his death.Found a bunch of reasons, that he is not worthy of the highest standard of state funeral.

There is no doubt that this little disturbance did not affect Franz's resolution, which strongly suppressed the voice of opposition.

Regardless of the government ’s propaganda, Marshal Julius ’s reputation as a butcher cannot be wiped out. When the rebellion was suppressed, the party was completely killed, and more people were offended.

After the announcement of the state funeral, there were also protests.Undoubtedly, these people misunderstood the concept and were eventually thrown into prison to reflect.

To give Marshal Julius high-standard treatment, this is what Franz does for everyone.The purpose is to tell everyone that as long as he is doing things for him, even if he is notorious, he will protect them like the emperor.

Against this background, the idiot who jumps out to do things will naturally be out of luck.

Illegal series, gathering crowds to make trouble, disrupting public order, endangering public safety ...

This series of charges added up enough to reflect on the prison for more than ten years.This is almost the same as indefinitely. At present, more than 90% of the people can't live in prison for more than ten years.

Those who join in the excitement must also be criticized and educated, fined, and severely sentenced.

Those who accept other people ’s money and finance and accept employment to participate in the parade must face high fines and a prison life of more than one year.

That's right, the parade also has a bargain.In many parades, because not enough people are attracted to participate, the organizers will hire ordinary people to participate.

For this behavior, Franz was severely cracked down.

Directly stipulated in the law and imposed a fine of 1,000 times the illegal profit, depending on the seriousness of the situation, it is more than one year of labor reform.

The organization or individual who pays for the employee is multiplied by ten on this basis.

In order to combat the consortium's manipulation of politics, Franz also broke his heart, and targeted laws are often added.

This is a period of severe crackdown, and criminals who are not serious are basically exiled.All repeat offenders over three years must enter the road construction army and serve their sentences.

The punishment is so heavy during the severe crackdown.Catch up can only be considered bad luck for you, who made you want to do things at this time?

Although the Constitution has not yet been released, everyone already knows that organizations and people with any criminal record are deprived of their right to participate in politics.

When striking the enemy, Franz was not soft at all.In this ever-changing era, if a strict order is not established, Franz is very doubtful whether Austria can withstand the impact.

...

The maid Jeanne said softly, "Your Majesty, another machine gun sample was sent from the arsenal. Please look around."

Franz calmly said: "Okay, arrange a test tomorrow."

Machine guns have long appeared. In 1851, Belgian engineer Gatlin designed the world's first machine gun. Unfortunately, the actual combat value of this machine gun is too low.

The advent of the Gatling gun immediately attracted the attention of Franz, and ordered the arsenal to be developed and improved.

Before and after, it has been updated for four or five generations.The designers opened their minds and created more than 30 machine guns with different shapes.

However, with so many machine guns, no one can satisfy Franz.It ’s not that he ’s demanding, it ’s really that these guns are too pitted.

How to use a machine gun that jams when moved?Who can handle the 1.5-ton machine gun?Who can use a machine gun costing tens of thousands of Aegis?

In short, Franz imagined that the high quality and low price could not reach all.These machine guns are reluctant to defend their strongholds, because the corners are not enough, and they can only shoot in one direction.

This is the case for new technology research and development, even without reference objects, all by groping forward.The Franz Maxim's machine gun can't even see the shadow.

The Gatling machine gun was almost transformed. It was actually tested in the African colonies and barely met the actual combat requirements.

The main reason for not being installed in the military is that the armies of all countries are not equipped with machine guns, and now it is not in a hurry in the peace era.

Franz also wanted to wait and see if any better machine guns appeared.To know that the lightest machine gun now has several hundred pounds, it has to be pulled by a car.

The cost of changing armies is very high. In many countries, the weapons and equipment are backward, not because the government bureaucrats do not know it, but they simply cannot afford to change it.

In this era, the replacement of weapons and equipment is very fast. The new weapons that have just been replaced have fallen behind in the past few years.

If you are unlucky, you may have just finished the refitting, and more advanced equipment has come out.

What should I do?

If you do n’t change it, you will fall behind. If you change it again, you wo n’t be able to afford it.

Moreover, even if it is a dress-up, who can guarantee that no more advanced weapons will appear?

In this case, we must test everyone's judgment.
