449 The Road to Death

Since the opening of the Suez Canal, Austria ’s export trade to Asia has increased dramatically, and the number of ships in accidents has also increased dramatically.

In order to maintain the smooth passage of the maritime trade channel, the Austrian Navy has dispatched several times, sweeping away several pirate strongholds.

The pirates hanged in the port have exceeded three figures, and more people were directly killed.

The effect of suppressing pirates is still remarkable. No one supports pirates, no matter whether there is any support behind them.

In the process of encircling and suppressing pirates, the navies of all countries have participated.Because the probability of a ship's accident in the recent period has almost exceeded 1%.

Folklore sea monster incidents have also appeared frequently recently.Franz did not know what the truth was. He claimed that witnesses who had seen pirates had more than four figures, and people from all countries had it.

Of course, these sea monsters are not so terrible, as witnesses are still alive to prove.These sea monsters are still within the scope of scientific explanation. They are just huge in size and powerful in combat effectiveness.

Fire-breathing sea monsters don't exist, and there are a lot of water sprays.Without magic power, he can't fly away, just be a demon in the sea.

Many sea monsters are just strange-looking, passing by in people's eyes and not attacking ships.

I do n’t know if it ’s a mild disposition, or that the ship is outside the scope of their recipes.Think about it, who would be interested in wood bumps and iron bumps?

It's even more funny to eat people, so a little bit of meat is not enough for these behemoths to stop their teeth, and it is impossible to attack the ship for this.

Catching sea monsters is not within the responsibility of the Austrian Navy, and despite the enthusiasm of biologists, Franz is not prepared to play with them.

No matter who is doing the ghost, there is nothing wrong with catching the pirates and killing them.It doesn't matter if you kill it wrong, anyway, there is no innocent pirate.

Baiyin must bear fruit. If he chooses this path of no return, he must be prepared to be killed.Murderers kill people constantly.

The campaign against pirates continued until the end of 1869.First, the pirates in the Mediterranean were severely beaten by society, then the pirates in the Indian Ocean were out of luck, and finally the pirates in Southeast Asia did not escape.

Not only can protect the waterway, but also can train troops, and if you are lucky, you can also seize some loot. The Austrian Navy must fall in love with this meaningful activity.

Pulling the pawns of Britain, France and other countries, it was just incidental.Anyway, no one would admit that he was connected with the pirates. After killing tens of thousands of pirates in succession, no one helped to say a word.

The media of various countries are advocating their own record of pirate eradication. If we add up all the figures of pirate eradication in the newspapers of various countries, we can circle the earth hand in hand.

It doesn't matter if there are so many pirates.In short, after the annihilation campaign, the flourishing pirate group was hit hard.

Looking at the ever-increasing labor force in his hands, Franz is already considering whether to dig a grand canal.The original space-time Austro-Hungarian Empire also had the ubersichts-karte canal plan, only because the world war ended without disease.

Now someone has also proposed this plan to dig a canal from Vienna to Triascu.There are several rivers along the way, in theory, as long as it runs through.

But Franz had no idea. Was this grand canal really useful after it was built?

It is important to know that the railway from Vienna to Triascu has long been open to traffic. Either the canal has insufficient capacity and lost economic value under the competition of the railway; or the canal has sufficient capacity to lose the economic value of the railway.

In short, the end result is that one of the railway canals always falls.The Suez Canal and the Suez Railway are obvious examples, and the British Suez Railway Company is now bankrupt.

From an investment perspective, it does not seem to be very cost-effective.However, a country cannot focus on immediate benefits. The operating cost of the canal is much lower than that of the railway. This canal may become another major artery in Austria.

Franz is also very cautious when it comes to investment of tens of millions of Aegis.This question was temporarily put on hold, and for the sake of insurance, Franz decided to organize several field investigations.

As for the captured pirate captives, join the road building army!Now the scale of the road repairing army has dropped sharply. On the one hand, the world is at peace, there are not so many "reoffending" to join; on the other hand, there are too many casualties.

The big project of this era is to fill people's lives.Take the Suez Canal as an example, there is a huge white bone behind every one meter of excavation.

Although railway construction is not so exaggerated, it still has to fall a few people per kilometer on average, especially the construction losses in cliff areas are more serious.

On the one hand, the protection awareness of the engineering team was not enough, and the relevant safety education was not done well; on the other hand, from the beginning, these criminals were destined to be consumed, and their casualties did not attract the attention of the railway company.

When Franz realized the problem, it was too late.He did not have the ability to teach these people. Since he is destined to be an enemy, it is naturally impossible to let go.

Full of hatred, there is no hope to see, these people are not so easy to manage.

Criminal prisoner riots occur almost every month. In order to guard this group of people, there is also a division of troops stationed next to them.

There is no need to describe the internal situation, in short it is very bad.The management mode of the capitalists is to minimize costs and extract profits.

Franz is not a Virgin, and he never treats enemies softly.For the long-term stability of Austria, I chose to ignore it.

For this reason, the construction team of convicts in Austria on the European continent was criticized, and even Franz was also damaged.

If it were n’t for the governments of all countries to sit upright, Austria ’s life would be overwhelming.There are many people who sympathize with the party, and many people think they are exaggerated.

There are also a lot of artillery parties in Austria. To deal with these people, Franz invited them directly to teach criminals.

Simply put, let them be partners with criminals, and do ideological work for them without doing anything else.After a first-hand experience, these people changed their positions after leaving.

Of course, there are still some forever.If you do n’t die, you wo n’t die. The Madonna believes that they are all good people, and the price paid is life.

No way, in addition to political prisoners in the prison camp, they are fierce and serious offenders.Many people should betray the death penalty. They are sent here only for waste utilization and to extract the final value.

Some people want to influence them with love, Franz will not object, anyway, whoever wants to go.

Adults should be responsible for speaking, and they should not just speak or practice. Since they dare to preach in the newspaper, they must go to prison to practice.

It may be cruel, but the world is even cruel.We must not sacrifice the interests of tens of thousands of people for the sake of a brain disability.

Strict law enforcement pays for social stability.Now that we have gone the wrong way, we have to pay a price for this, although the price may be very cruel.

...

In Mexico, Massimiliano I was a little smarter, and accepted Franz ’s suggestion to contract the French to suppress the rebels.

The arrogant French do not yet know that this is a big trouble.With the introduction of reform measures of Massimiliano I, the rebel forces are also growing stronger.

Not only was he following Austria, many policies were more thorough than Franz.For example, according to the legal situation:

Workers Workers have the right to leave their place of employment at will, regardless of whether they owe their employer debts, cancel all debts of more than 10 pesos, limit working hours and use child labor, and prohibit corporal punishment of workers.

At the same time, restore the rights of Indian villages to own property and give village land to those villages that do not have village land.

To put it simply, it is to liberate the serfs and to forgive the national debts, and at the same time to distribute the land to the people.

Obviously, this is in the interest of the people at the bottom.It stands to reason that this agrarian revolution should be very popular, and the emperor who won the support of the people can quickly settle the rebellion.

The reality is just the opposite. The unorganized people at the bottom just passively accepted and did not stand up to support the emperor. Many people even stood opposite the emperor.

No way, the right of society to speak is not in the hands of the emperor, nor in the hands of the people at the bottom.Without the cooperation of the ruling class, the foreign decree of Massimiliano I could not leave the palace.

Landlords and capitalists whose interests have been damaged in the reform have not received any compensation, and these people are naturally very dissatisfied.In addition to resisting reform, they also tacitly support the rebels.

These people had the right to speak in society, and soon Massimiliano I became infamous in Mexico, greedy, inhuman, grass-rooted, moody, dictatorial ...

All words describing tyrants have become the title of Massimiliano I.Only the idealists are left to support the emperor, these people are kings of guns.

The actual capacity may not exist anymore, otherwise such a policy that offends the entire ruling class should never be introduced.

Even if you want to reform, you still have to go step by step!In one step, it was not to go to heaven, but to fall to hell.

In the original time and space, Massimiliano I was on the guillotine, and personally pushed the constitutional school and the church that supported him to the opposite.

Now Franz ’s intervention has not changed his heart to death.This is not just fooling the French, I thought that the world is lucky, you can rest assured.

The domestic toss is nothing more than that. The second emperor of China has shouted a political slogan to recover the lost land.It seems that I really think that Americans are bullied and will spit out the meat they eat.

This move clearly offended the federal government.There are the three countries of Britain, France, Austria and France on it, and the Commonwealth dare not mess up, no one can guarantee it in secret.

This is not over yet, and another thing happened that caused Franz to vomit blood.

Since the emperor and the emperor had no heirs, they adopted Agustin Jr. and El Salvador, the grandsons of the former Mexican emperor Agustin de Iturved, as their adopted sons, and gave them the title of His Royal Highness Prince Iturved, and established Agus Jr. Ting is the heir to the throne of Mexico.

The heir to the throne came out without saying a word, and directly declared that the Mexican throne had nothing to do with the Habsburg dynasty.

At this time, Franz really had nothing to say.Even if the Habsburg family is not interested in the throne of Mexico, you need to say hello to another heir!

Could it be that Massimilino was the son of destiny. He had been on the guillotine in 1867, and he is still alive and sitting on the throne, and the Habsburg dynasty has also made great efforts.

Anyway, after the news came back, Franz was held accountable by a group of Grand Duke of the Habsburg family, demanding absolutely no support from Maximilian I.

The use is all ready-made, the family's resources are limited, and it cannot be wasted on outsiders.

The opinions of family members also need to be considered. Do n’t look at how they seem to have little effect. In fact, through political marriage, they all contribute to the family.

The European royal family is a family, that's how it came.Otherwise, the marriage of the children of the emperor and king alone is not enough!

Franz did not hesitate and agreed directly.Anyway, the elder brother's accusation has been exhausted, and the resources consumed by Massimilino have been enough, and so many family members have come to protest.

At the age of the couples of Isimiliano I, there was no time for sterilization. Queen Carlotta was less than thirty years old, and it was entirely possible to have offspring.

In order to obtain the support of the previous dynasty, the establishment of Agustin Jr. as the heir to the throne of Mexico can only be said to be a downright trick.

Not to mention how to get along with your own son, just considering the reaction of the Habsburg family, you should consider the family's children first.

Massimiliano I had no sons, but his nephew had a bunch of more than ten people who were qualified.

Even if the heir is not interested, is there a side branch?Regardless of how far the blood relationship is, it is just a family member, and everyone will not be so resistant.

Political resources have always been limited, and the rules of the game have always been that you get one more, others will get less.

Franz had no ambitions in this generation. In addition to the idealism of Massimiliano I, the other two younger brothers were of average ability, and the princes of the branch were similar.

Otherwise, these people have long jumped out to compete for resources.Do n’t underestimate these political resources and invest in a certain person. The current Spanish throne and Polish throne have a competitive power.

Taking a step back, they can also go to South America to hook up with the constitutional faction of a certain country and participate in the fight for the throne.

These are the remains of the ancestors. Now, the nobles in many countries in South America have some incense with the Habsburgs.

This is an old thing a hundred years ago. The Spanish Habsburg dynasty was a heir, and the crown fell to the Bourbon dynasty.One day, one son and one courtier, this statement exists everywhere.

The nobles that were originally too close to the Habsburg dynasty were gradually pushed out of the core of power, and many family children were forced to participate in the colonial expansion movement.

Many of these people have now become rulers of South American countries. The relationship between the nobles is always unclear, and the secret connection still exists.

Especially after the rise of Austria, these potential networks have been established again, and it is impossible for them to continue to be loyal.

However, in some countries with serious internal strife, the constitutionalists are still thinking about restoration.After all, South America has only been independent for several decades. The Americans who are overbearing in the Republic have been severely beaten.

Constitution is naturally indispensable to the king, and the Habsburg dynasty is just one of the candidates.With connections, everyone naturally wants to support acquaintances.

If there are ambitions in the family, Franz does not mind pushing.It is enough to study Napoleon III, directly appear as a presidential candidate, and then the republic changes into a monarchy.

Fortunately, there was no such person, otherwise Massimiliano I would be truly tragic.If someone is divided into political resources, then he is in danger, and if he fails, he will go to the guillotine again.

A valued family member and a valued member are two concepts.

Due to the decline of Austrian time and space, the Habsburg dynasty had limited power and could not intervene in Mexico, and Massimiliano I only came to guillotine.

If the army appears directly at the doorstep, the Mexican Revolutionary Party will also calmly think.Even if they are not calm, the fire will calm them down.

With a sigh, Franz sent a letter to Massimiliano I, directly conveying the position of the Habsburg family, and the two sides have drawn the line from now on.
