Holy Roman Empire

Chapter 343

Originally, Franz only used the colony to cover up the military preparations to interfere in the American civil war. As a result, the American civil war did not interfere, and a new round of colonial expansion in Austria broke out first.

The first is the African continent. Do n’t look at the three infantry divisions. It seems that there are not many troops, but if you invest in overseas colonies, you can sweep a dozen indigenous tribes.

Opening the map shows that the colonies from West Africa to the Congo are connected.

The Austrian colonial forces in the south have pushed the sphere of influence along the river to Zambia; the east has penetrated into Uganda and Kenya.

In the Middle East, Austria uses the Sinai Peninsula as a springboard to penetrate its tentacles into the Arabian Peninsula. Several tribes have signed a land purchase treaty, and Austrian colonies have appeared in the Persian Gulf.

As soon as the Suez Canal is opened, these areas will fall into the hands of Austria.

In Central America, Austria is dominated by infiltration, and it does not play the national annihilation battle as soon as it comes up.Relocating a group of immigrants from the United States will not work if countries want to be out of Austria ’s control.

Taking Nicaragua as an example, the number of Germans occupies four of the whites and has become the largest ethnic group in the area.There is also an Austrian army stationed there, and the government would not want to be pro-Austrian.

In the new Holy Roman Empire, a Lanfang autonomous province was added. Franz did not mind adding a few more. Peaceful peace is also a good way to expand.

Of course, this is only effective for such a sparsely populated place as Central America. After all, the local white population is only a few hundred thousand, and it is divided into five or six countries.

Even if it is not included in the imperial system, it can become a pro-Olympic country.It is not necessarily a good thing to directly annex a region that is difficult to rule over the homeland, and a loose alliance is not unacceptable.

In the South Ocean, how many islands occupied by the Austrian colonial government, Franz is not clear, anyway, four digits, multi-island countries really are not covered.

The expansion of Nanyang has stopped, and now watch the performances of Prussia and the German Federation.

The German Federation's unscrupulous Malaysian horse racing enclosure looks like George I has smoothed out the London government.

The Kingdom of Prussia chose to die in the Indochina Peninsula for a very simple reason: Indochina is fertile enough to expand.

Although Sumatra is not bad, it is still too small compared to the Indochina Peninsula, and the Dutch have occupied a lot of territory.

In continental Europe, Prussia can hang the Dutch, but in the South Ocean region, this situation is reversed. The newborn Prussian navy has no confidence.

After opening the world map and reading it carefully, Franz was surprised to find that the world was about to be divided.

This is not a good thing, which means that future conflicts between countries will happen from time to time.Especially the emerging empire must challenge the world order to seize the living space.

As Franz dismissed this idea, under the current situation, it was too difficult for the European continent to emerge a new empire.

The three countries of Russia, France and Austria stand side by side, and they simply cannot tolerate the rise of the fourth pole.The next level of Spain is still deeply trapped in internal contradictions. Moreover, they are originally veteran empire, and there are still many legacy left.

Not to mention Prussia, in order to solve industrial raw materials and markets, it was forced to embark on the road to overseas colonization.Build the German Second Empire unless someone hangs them.

Another potential stock is the Kingdom of Sardinia.Not to mention the unification of the Italian region, they themselves became the nutrients of the French.

Franz is carrying children, and he is now the father of three children.

Although he was only seven years old, as the crown prince, Frederick had no chance of being a rice worm.Every day there are endless homework and endless knowledge.

It seemed to have been hit, and the dejected Frederick approached Franz and asked, "Father, why do I have to go to school, and you don't need to?"

Franz explained patiently: "It's very simple, because I have finished these homework, so I don't need to read it now.

Your brothers are still too young to see William's words. How to learn?When they grow up, they will go to school with you."

Frederick complained: "But I have too much homework. I have been outside. Many children have only three homework."

Yes, there are only three subjects for compulsory education in Austria: German, mathematics, history, and other subjects are optional.

Both German and history are additions, and German language includes patriotism education.History is naturally of the German version, proving from the source that all ethnic groups in Austria are Germanic branches.

Whether ordinary people believe it or not, the nobles believe it anyway.Their ancestors basically came from the German region, and then they represented all ethnic groups in Austria.

History cannot be tested, and the cultural world is still arguing.Franz did not intervene, anyway, as long as assimilation education two generations, it is impossible to repeat later.

If it proves that the textbook is wrong, it doesn't matter. The time passed is too long, and it is understandable that the information passed down is wrong.

The government does not confirm or deny that professional problems let history scholars quarrel slowly. In short, they are all academic problems.

Close the door and discuss casually, but the people don't care about it anyway.Before a unified answer is formed, the textbook cannot be revised.

Franz explained: "That's just basic education provided by the state. If you have the conditions, you have to learn more homework.

This world is cruel, Frederick.The amount of learning knowledge also means the position in the society.

As the crown prince of the empire, you are naturally at the forefront of the world. You must be the best, and naturally you have more to learn.This is the ability you must have, and I came here as well."

Happy education?Born in the royal family, he was born with happiness.

Cultivate interest development?Still don't dream about it, as the crown prince's occupation is the emperor, there is no need to consider employment issues at all.

This is the most enviable and embarrassing profession.

As long as the emperor is trained strictly according to the process, it may not be able to produce genius, and it will not cultivate silly white sweetness.

Franz does not need a heir to be a genius, because geniuses usually have quirks and are not suitable for the profession of emperor.

As the heirs of the empire, as long as they can maintain the operation of the empire step by step, they have a certain basic knowledge and will not be fooled.

As for governing the country, is there still a cabinet?

The fault-tolerance rate of a great empire is very high. Only the emperor does not toss about, and the cabinet officials who step up step by step from the bottom of their political achievements. The ability to govern the country is no longer bad.

Besides, the cabinet can be replaced if it does n’t work.As an emperor, as long as the critical moment, they throw the guy who messed up things out.

In short, if the emperor did not intervene indiscriminately, things would not be so bad.At the same time, he imposed a curse on the bureaucrats. Occasionally, a few embarrassed corrupt officials were arrested and killed.

Looking at Frederick with a depressed face, Franz just smiled slightly and didn't say much.

A maid hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother invites you to pass."

The coming person, Franz, also knew that he was the most favored maid by the Queen Sophie.

"Elena, what happened, are you so anxious?"

Elena ran a little anxiously, some breathlessly, and said in a huff: "Princess Massimilino is going to Mexico to be the emperor, but he was opposed by the empress, and there was a fierce quarrel. Come and see ! "

Franz got a headache, and he also got a headache for this uneasy brother.

Franz had asked people to hand over the Mexican materials to him in order to make him retreat from difficulties. He did not expect that he still made the same choice in history.

Needless to say, as a good brother, Franz arrived at the scene as quickly as possible.

From afar, I heard the roar of Empress Sophie, obviously she was not angry with Massimilino.As a member of the royal family, the most basic international common sense, Queen Sufi, still knows, judging from her amateur political vision, this is a huge pit.

Seeing Franz coming in, Empress Sophie stopped roaring and eased her emotions, saying, "Franz, give your baby brother a bit about Mexico, this idiot wants to go to Mexico to be the emperor."

Franz reassured: "Good mother, this idiot has been given to me, you first get rid of it."

Looking at the despondent Massimiliano, Franz knew he was very unconvinced.The smooth sailing of Massimiliano also naturally produced an arrogance, for example, now I want to challenge the copy of hell.

"Why did Massimiliano let you go to Mexico as an emperor? Don't tell me, you don't even have a supporter." Franz asked

Massimiliano replied: "The Mexican Constitutionalists and Napoleon III promised to support my succession."

Obviously, Massimiliano is not really stupid. In theory, with the support of France and Austria, coupled with the strength of the Mexican Constitutionalist, he is not difficult to hold this throne.

Franz asked sternly: "If you want to wear a crown, bear the weight first! Massimilino, why do you think you can hold the throne of Mexico? Take your policy guidelines to convince me and prove your ability.

The Habsburg dynasty would not put an ignorant idiot on the throne, or one day this idiot will be put on the guillotine, and we can't afford to lose that man."

Stimulated Massimiliano immediately replied: "You wait, I will prove it to you!"

Franz did not continue to sarcasm, the pit has been dug.There has never been a perfect governance plan in the world, and no matter what plan Maximiliano puts out, Franz can pick out a thorn.

If even an idealist can't flicker, why can Franz achieve the Austrian revival?
