Holy Roman Empire

During the London conference, the British did not stop their global strategic layout.In order to strengthen control over North America, the British Parliament approved the proposal to establish the Canadian Dominion in May.

This stimulated protests from the US federal government, and the result was naturally ignored. This was originally a measure against them.

After the end of the American Civil War, the capitalists' demand for the market further expanded. Because of the confrontation between North and South, the South Market bid farewell to them.

Mexico has become the sphere of influence of the three countries of Britain, France, and West, and there is no room for them to intervene; Central America is regarded as a reserve by Austria; and the Caribbean islands are also gathering power.

The American America turned into a joke, the European powers made a comeback, and the divided northern government simply could not fight it.

In order to change this situation, neither U.S. government is restless.Fortunately, the Confederate government exports industrial raw materials and cannot compete with the powers.

The Northern Federal Government will not work. In order to break the situation, they support the Revolutionary Party in Mexico and support the Indian tribes in Central America.

This is not over. With the increase in the number of Irish immigrants, anti-British has become an important political force in the federal government. In 1866, Irish MPs proposed a proposal to annex Canada.

There is no doubt that this kind of death motion has not passed.But this situation still stimulated the British, and the London government decided to strengthen its strength in the Americas.

The establishment of the Canadian Dominion is one of the means.The London government is ready to relax its repression of the Canadian region and allow them to develop to increase their voice in North America.

The British were not the only ones taking action. In fact, the French had added troops to Mexico before this.Franz ’s suggestion Massimilino still listened to a few points, and Mexico ’s debt increased by one-third compared to the same period in history.

As the biggest creditor, France was naturally kidnapped.The more investment, the more reluctant the Paris government is to let go.

Mexico is not without repayment ability, as long as the rebellion is suppressed, the silver empire will soon be able to get out of the crisis.

The practice of Britain and France also affected Austria, and the Vienna government was also very annoyed by the perturbed Americans.

Looking at the information provided by the Count Humellau, Governor of Central America, Franz felt it necessary to teach the Americans a lesson.

Franz asked: "How much investment do Americans have in Central America?"

Colonial Minister Josip Jelacic replied: "There are about three million Aegis."

These basic materials, Josip Jelacic are all well-known.If it were not for the civil war, the Central American region was reserved for Americans.

As early as a decade ago, Americans penetrated into Central America.It wasn't until the civil war broke out that Austrian occupation of the region silenced the Americans' movements.

Franz said casually: "Then stare at them and confiscate them as soon as you find a problem."

The Austrian colonies do not welcome foreign investment and promote colonial economic development. Unfortunately, this is not what the Vienna government wants.

Stability overwhelms everything, and Franz would rather drop it in his hands and develop it slowly, rather than let outside forces intervene.

On the surface, foreign capital drove the colonial economy, but in this era, overseas investment was a pioneer in colonial expansion.

Entering all kinds of messy thoughts is also one of the means by which countries stab each other.Without vigilance, the economy has not yet developed and the colonial rebellion broke out first.

In the late 19th century, all large-scale colonial rebellions were manipulated by international power.This is also the most important reason why countries close the colonial market.

The Americas are too far away from Vienna, and the control of the colony has inevitably declined.The Americans saw the opportunity before they ran over to do things.

Making excuses to confiscate these US investments is a warning to the federal government.Of course, it is not only that simple. Austria is only a leader, and countries need to follow suit.

Before the American Civil War, their capital had penetrated into many parts of North America.For example: Mexico, Cuba and other regions.

When the United States is strong, countries are afraid of their strength, and naturally no one will make these investments.Now that the situation has changed, the split federal government has failed to protect these overseas investments.

If they are safe and secure, everyone may not take excessive action.But how can capital be settled?

Without enough markets, the internal economic circulation market is not big enough, and capitalists want to survive, they must do something.

According to the information in his hands, Franz can be sure that the US federal's internal struggle is very fierce, and the expansion of the outside force is also forced.

Unless there is a major change in Europe, they will not develop under the repression of various countries.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" The Colonial Minister Josip Yelacic replied

This is just a small episode, and the focus of Franz is still on the African continent.Since the Vienna government passed the colonization localization bill, the importance of the European countries on the African continent has increased by one level.

Among them, the English and French reactions were the most intense.The French responded as soon as possible. Napoleon III was prepared to follow suit. The Paris government formulated a plan for the province of North Africa, preparing to incorporate this area into its homeland.

It is just that the European strategy has given priority, and due to the impact of insufficient immigration, this plan is still on paper, too late to fully implement.

The reaction of the British is much more intense, and it is impossible to follow suit.The localization of the colony is not suitable for the maritime countries, even if it is forced to implement it, it will not choose Africa!

Opening the map shows that France and Austria have become very powerful on the African continent.In order to curb the expansion momentum of the two countries, the London government is ready to preemptively control Ethiopia and Somalia, connecting East Africa and South Africa.

Compared with the original time and space, the British African plan has converged a lot.It only occupies the two corners of the southeast and does not traverse Egypt.

Ethiopia and Somalia are the last link in Austria ’s Africa strategy. Once the plan is completed, most of the African continent is Austria ’s territory.

The British naturally cannot sit idly by, and they have long been eyeing Ethiopia.As long as they occupied Aden in 1839, they infiltrated here.

There have been many lords of feudal states and the British. Together, the British consul Fernie Cameron recently canceled the supply of arms to Ethiopia after visiting the Turkish Sudan.

At this time, Ethiopian monarch Theodor II did a stupid thing and directly detained the British consul.

There is no doubt that Ethiopia handed the excuse to the British himself.If they were not to be taught the iron fist of the empire, how could John Bull be embarrassed to mix in the world?

Originally Franz was prepared to intervene, but Austria has a bad reputation on the African continent in recent years.There is nothing to eat, they are too late to hide, how can they get together?

This is something that can't be done. Naturally, so many colonies in Austria were not sent by phone calls. They were killed one by one.

Encountered problems on the European continent, Franz will think twice.When it comes to the African continent, it is the other extreme. Usually, it is done regardless of the situation, and it is done directly.

diplomatic?Unfortunately, no colonial government has this department.If you can solve the problem with bayonet or artillery, you will definitely not use other means.

There are few problems that cannot be solved with bayonet and artillery on the African continent. As a result, Austria has no friends.If you take the initiative to provide weapon assistance, no one will dare to ask for it.

It is naturally unnecessary to change the way of doing things.This is true of all European countries these days. No one cares about the colonial play. The shameless colonizers still claim to be human communicators.

Franz asked: "It is only a matter of time before the British invade Ethiopia. What is the plan of the colonial ministry?"

Colonial Minister Josip Jelacic replied: "Your Majesty, there is a huge gap in strength between the two sides, and there is no suspense in this war.

Our sphere of influence is already bordering on Ethiopia. This African country has a large territory and the British cannot swallow it in one bite. The colonial ministry plans to take a slice of it."

This is a slice of soup, I'm afraid it's not just a slice of soup.Even if he swallowed most of Ethiopia in a single bit, Franz would not be surprised.

The British wanted to curb Austria's expansion on the African continent because Austria was too strong on the ground.

If not restricted, they will be kicked out sooner or later.Anyone who knows the situation will know how badly the British colonial company recently developed on the African continent.

It's not that they don't work hard, but it's really impossible to live.It was not easy to establish a colonial stronghold and it was about to be attacked by a modern African army.

The attackers are all indigenous Africans, and naturally it has nothing to do with Austria.Without evidence, the London government is powerless.

Sending troops to encircle and suppress it is nonsense.In the vast African continent, how to find the attackers?

In retaliation, the British also organized black troops, and both sides killed in darkness.

In the end, it was the British who could not sustain it. It was not that they were not good at fighting, mainly because there were few English people.

At its peak, thousands of soldiers were killed and wounded every year, and many British colonial companies went bankrupt because they couldn't pay their pensions.

Under such circumstances, the British colonies on the African continent will inevitably shrink.The situation did not improve until after the two countries reached an agreement.

The British are good at summing up their experience, and soon they discovered that they will only suffer if they go deep into the inland jungle.It is still safe to establish strongholds in coastal areas and rely on fortifications.

Now the expansion of the British is to build fortresses all the way. If there is a fortification, there is no fear of sneak attacks by black troops.

This is all a secret struggle. The Austrian army cannot come down in person, and the two sides are deadlocked.

Because of the cost, the expansion of the British on the African continent was curbed, and many times they were forced to abandon their sphere of influence.After all, it is not only the Austrian family that is the black hand, and the French have not done this kind of thing.

There are too many enemies, and after being attacked many times, it is not clear who the British are doing.These are all conventional methods, and everyone has no morality in the colonial struggle.

This is why the British are eager to occupy Ethiopia.As long as they have control of this place, they will have a large number of cannon fodder and fight against Austria in underground wars.

Franz said indifferently: "Secretly sent people to sell arms to Ethiopia, let them resist fiercely."
