Holy Roman Empire

Milano City, Treos' new textile tycoon.In 1848, the Osage War directly caused a major reshuffle in the capital of the Lombardy region. Terios used this gap period to stand out.

It ’s different when you have money to pursue your goals. Tereso is also a noble, but it ’s just that his grandfather has fallen.

At this time, Terios was considering whether to get a knighthood to restore the glory of his ancestors.

It is not easy to obtain a knighthood in Austria. Of course, as a rich "Aegis" player, it still has advantages over civilian players.

The colonial system created opportunities for them. As long as they were willing to spend money and recruited a large number of mercenaries to open up colonies on the African continent in exchange for merit, sooner or later they could smash a knighthood.

This is not the easiest way, but it is the best way for Treos.Joining the army on the battlefield makes it easier to obtain a knighthood, but this has never been the choice of capitalists.

The nobility has a higher social status, but in the business field, the nobility has no special advantages, and many privileges have shrunk.

Terios has always weighed the pros and cons, and gaining merits through overseas colonies also depends on luck, and input and output are often not directly proportional.

In fact, nobles have more advantages in this respect. They have cultivated military command capabilities since childhood. Some nobles also have their servants and private troops left over from their ancestors. The colonial team formed is naturally more effective.

Being able to fight the colonial team basically won't lose money, even if no resources are found, robbing along the way, and working with labor export companies to help African tribe immigrants, it will also make a profit.

As long as the colonial team does not lose money, it can continue to operate for a long time, and the merits will naturally accumulate over time.

This is something that capitalists cannot compare, and their advantage lies in being rich.There are people who have money. The officers and soldiers who retired in these years are all sought-after goods. Most capitalists recruit them to form colonial teams, and their combat effectiveness is not too bad.

Unfortunately, not everyone is willing to go to the African continent. With the increase of the colonial team, retired officers and soldiers who are willing to go to the colony are not enough, and the cost of wages is increasing day by day.

As a latecomer, the recruitment standard had to be lowered, and the fighting power of the colonial team was inevitably reduced.

Without strong combat effectiveness, it does not mean that it is impossible to colonize the African continent.It is not a problem to deal with some indigenous tribes, but the number of casualties is high.

If you are out of luck, you can spit blood out of your pension after a battle.At present, the pension standards issued by the Austrian colonial team are basically 500-1800 Aegis, which cannot be lost at all.

Stephen's presence made Terios shine. Everyone was laughing at Stephen's recruitment of uncompetitive Italian mercenaries, but Terios saw the other side-cheap.

As a qualified capitalist, Terios has the advantage of always saving costs.

The price of recruiting an ordinary German mercenary can recruit two Italian mercenaries; the price of an elite mercenary is more than enough to recruit five Italian mercenaries.

In addition to the low artificial salary, the casualty pension can also be reduced to 300 Aegis.If recruited from the Italian states, in the event of a heavy loss, the pension can also be lost.

As long as you are careful not to be greedy, Italian mercenaries with lower combat effectiveness can also sweep the indigenous tribes.After all, the cost is low, more people can be recruited, and there are advantages when doing labor export business.

Just when Treos made up his mind to cooperate with Stephen, a letter interrupted all his fantasies.

Not everyone is thinking of revolution and independence, and Terios does not want to change the status quo, although he is also influenced by Italian nationalism.

It's okay to donate some money in normal times to preserve the traditional culture of Italy. It is impossible for him to go to the battlefield himself.

He will not even fund the Revolutionary Party.Terios is very shrewd, and he is never destined to buy or sell.

The political ideas of all nationalists are often different, especially in the face of interest, which often determines the concept.

As a textile tycoon, apparently leaving Austria, Treos can reduce many competitors and even dominate the Italian market.

But in fact, after leaving Austria, the raw materials can kill him.

Importing from overseas is easier said than done. If the international cotton market is completely turbulent, it will immediately kill him if there is any turmoil in the international cotton market.

Britain can become the overlord of the cotton textile industry, not only because the textile industry is strong, but also with a strong Royal Navy as a backing and a vast colony as a market, which can protect its own interests.

After independence, Italy has no ability to protect his interests.Treos is only dissatisfied with the policies of the Vienna government, abolishing the current national integration policy and labor protection law.

This and rebellion are completely two concepts. Many people are dissatisfied with national policies. After all, no one policy can satisfy everyone.

If it is rebelled because of dissatisfaction with a government policy, would n’t it be a chaos in the world?Who can go up, it is impossible to satisfy everyone?

Thinking of the large number of mercenaries in the hands of Stephen and others, Terios changed his face and immediately shouted: "Martin immediately prepares the car, I am going to the city government."

Regardless of whether the revolution can succeed or not, it is not easy to do business as long as there is war.In case of bad luck, it is not impossible for patrons to go bankrupt.

As the winner of the last shuffle, Treos did not want to come again.He is a capitalist but also an industrialist. It is not the kind of businessman who buys low and sells high.

...

In Pecs, the province of West Hungary, several members of an independent Hungarian organization are uneasy about posting letters in accordance with the contact list.

For security reasons, everyone is magical.The ones with hidden soles and those sewn into the clothes are replaced with digital codes by using the Bible as a carrier.

In the case of traitors betrayed, these are in vain.Compared to the Austrian Italian region, the Hungarian region has been cleaned more thoroughly, and those who can escape the disaster are smart people.

The Domicic who sent the letter was tragic, just hit the owner, and was kept.

After reading the letter, Brooks greeted Mr. Stephen's family.In the early years, the two were like-minded friends, and everyone worked together for the independence of Hungary.

But today is different from the past, Brooks in the middle of the year has long been not that pure idealist.

I was able to escape the disaster because of good luck and I just fell ill and did not have time to join the rebellion.

After he became ill, a rebellion had taken place, and Brooks, who had a tendency to revolution, was placed under house arrest while still loyal to the emperor.

Thanks to his father's spontaneous participation in the suppression of the rebellion and his achievements, he was ruled out of suspicion.

Time is the best weapon. In the blink of an eye, his father died, and Brooks, who lost his restraint, once again mingled with the surviving nationalists.

At this time, everyone no longer shouted slogans for independence every day, but opposed the national division and unified language of the Vienna government.

Violent resistance is impossible, and the hard bones met God early in the independence movement.Brooks is not stupid, he is well aware of the consequences of working against the government.

Because of the relationship of personal friends, Brooks and some members of the Hungarian independent organization still maintain secret contacts, but this does not include Stephen.

No way, who made Stephen a political prisoner in exile?There are a lot of independent organizers in Hungary, and how many things they have done, most of the members are not actually wanted.

Brooks is a smart person. Anyway, these people are in exile overseas, and are not wanted. Even if they are exposed, they can pretend not to know.

My friends have more ways to go, just like this time the Hungarian independent organization is going to do things, and some friends hinted that he would hide a little further.

Seeing this letter, Brooks was very suspicious that someone was going to fuck him.The letter contained too much content, even the time of the uprising.

Under normal circumstances, it is impossible for him, a person who has not joined the Hungarian independent organization, to be trusted.Are you not afraid of him reporting?

Brooks asked tentatively: "Mr. Domic, why are we revolting on February 15th, we are not prepared at all?"

Domic didn't think so much, he didn't need to keep it secret.

"Sir Brooks, a new wave of revolution in Europe has arrived. This time, we joined forces with other revolutionary groups to launch the uprising in January and February.

We delayed the uprising date to February 15 because we were not prepared enough.But don't worry, the first uprising against Austria is in Italy.

At present, we have recruited thousands of mercenaries and cooperated with local revolutionary groups. This uprising will definitely succeed!"

Hearing Domic's words, Brooks' suspicion was dispelled by half.It seems that he is really a member of the Hungarian Independent Organization, this sacred expression is the same as when he was young.

Brooks continued to ask, "My old friend, what do they tell us?"

Since it was implied that he was hiding far away, under normal circumstances these friends have no reason to drag him into the water again, this letter is obviously not simple.

Domic thought for a while and said, "Mr. Paul said that he met you, so he took him to say hello. The other thing is to let you keep the ham in the twelfth lunar month and wait for him to come and eat.

Mr. Solam, how is your old place?He missed the period of the Great Revolution very much, but unfortunately the last time he failed, this time it will not."

These do not understand the words, Domicic did not feel anything, only as old friends reminiscing.

But it was different in Brooks' ears. "Ham" was the secret code for the retreat. There was no doubt that this was telling him to run.

"The period of the Great Revolution" is not a good memory for them. Watching each comrade fall down, countless like-minded friends are liquidated.

Knowing the situation, the cold sweat on Brooks's forehead came out.

Others do n’t know that the Hungarian independent organization has received funding from the Americans. Brooks is very clear, and their friends have not complained about the Americans ’finger pointing.

Reminiscent of the American Civil War, Brooks instantly wanted to understand many things.

This uprising must not be able to participate, either immediately pack up things and run away, and wait for things to pass before returning; or immediately go to report and pick yourself out.

Domic asked questioningly: "Sir Brooks, what's wrong with you?"

Looking at the simple Domic, Brooks couldn't bear it. He hesitated and said, "I'm fine. The situation in Hungary is very complicated. Domic, you complete the task as soon as possible and leave, take a boat to Russia to avoid the wind."

Domic surprised, and asked in surprise, "Why?"

Brooks shook his head and said: "The police in the Page area have a good nose, and the contact list is on you. Once an accident occurs, the organization's business results here will be finished."

Domicic said firmly, "Relax, Mr. Brooks. I didn't bring the list with me. Even if an accident occurs, the enemy won't gain anything."

Brooks did not continue to persuade, although he did not know what the purpose of the Hungarian independent organization was this time, but he was very clear that these people sent were all abandoned.

To persuade, it was only Brooks who was worried that Domic would be arrested and would confess his connection with the Hungarian independent organization.

But after thinking about it carefully, Brooks wondered that even if Domic escaped, these things could not be kept secret.

In normal times, this kind of connection between friends is nothing, and he cannot be guilty.But when the big changes happen, it will be different.

There are only two roads left for Brooks. Either run away in exile; or report to the government. Past things can be written off.

After hesitating for a while, Brooks decided to be a traitor. After all, this time things were too weird and filled with fog.

"Domic, I'm not doubting your loyalty. This is just the vigilance we should have and we can't make unnecessary sacrifices.

If you are willing to help, you can send me a few letters.Now is the critical moment, I am not suitable to meet them, and let my men send me without worry."

There is no doubt that Brooks is ready to borrow a knife to kill.

There are always a few enemies out there, and Brooks is no exception.Taking the opportunity to drag them in, kicking a few block stones, he has no pressure.
