Holy Roman Empire

In the winter of 1869, the war-torn world suddenly calmed down.In order to transfer the domestic economic crisis, the aggressive wars launched by the major colonial empires ended this season.

The strength gap between the warring parties is very different. In the face of hot weapons, blood and courage are not worth mentioning at all.

If it were n’t for everyone to pull back on each other, the war would end sooner.The pattern of the African continent after the war became more obvious.

France occupied Egypt, settled Algeria, and divided Tunisia with the British; Austria also completed its established goals, occupying Botswana, Kenya, Tanzania and other regions.

There is no doubt that the British are at a disadvantage in this round of competition.Although John Bull defeated Ethiopia and killed Aldo II, they still could not change their disadvantage in the continent's fight for Africa.

Killing an indigenous emperor does not mean that the British occupied Ethiopia, even the nominal rule.

Ethiopia, which has no central government, is torn apart, and the British also have a headache in the face of warlords.

There are fearless internationalists who secretly support Ethiopia to fight against them. The British also paid a painful price in this two-year war.

A total of 136,000 troops were invested before and after, and the loss of personnel alone exceeded 5,000. Of these, nearly 3,000 were permanently left on the African continent, and military expenditures were even more astronomical.

The casualties of this person are only the statistics of the loss of white soldiers, and the servants are worthless. Their casualties are naturally not within the scope of the statistics.

In any case, it was finally won, and the face of the British Empire was not lost this time.

The absolute gap in strength is not so easy to make up.Even if Faw did anything to help, Ethiopia only caused a little trouble for the British.

Without the anti-British Emperor Aldo II, the remaining warlords, Franz did not expect.By the means of the British, they may soon have a civil war.

This is not too bad, at least in the short term, the British cannot plunder a lot of wealth from Ethiopia.

Strategically, the British increased their influence in the Gulf of Aden. Unfortunately, the price paid was too large. It is estimated that the anti-war forces of the London government have increased a bit.

According to the current pattern of the African continent, Austria's general trend has already been established, occupying an absolute dominant position.The total area of ​​the colony is more than 13 million square kilometers, which is already half of the African continent.

If it's easy to cover the land, you can find another chance to grab it.The problem is that more than 8 million white immigrants still live on this land.

The colonies of all countries have a common feature, that is, everyone holds a gun, and anyone who can resist the gun can become a soldier.

If there is a fight, whoever grabs the last one is really in doubt.Unless Britain and France can invest millions of troops into the African continent, they will have a chance to win.

Obviously this is impossible. The French did not dare to throw the main force on the African continent, otherwise their hometown would be in danger.

As for the British, let alone the one million army, even if the army is expanded by 3.5 million, the army and navy will have to work first.

The Royal Navy will not allow the Army to rob resources. For them, this is a terrible disaster than Fawau adds up.

Austria has not continued to expand on the African continent. The main reason is that it has eaten up and needs to digest the fruits of war.

There are still many hidden dangers in this vast land, threatening the rule of Austria, and clearing the place is the top priority.

If the colonial society cannot be stabilized, how can it create wealth?A colony that cannot create wealth is a burden.

In this round of carve-out, the French also performed very well, closely following Austria.

If the French can achieve the set goals, their colony area will also exceed 10 million square kilometers.

Obviously, the European strategy has restrained the French a lot of energy, and some of them are unable to cope with African colonial expansion, otherwise Tunisia will not divide the British half.

Now their actual control area is less than half of the plan.Regardless of the inland areas, there are also many areas in Austria that do not have actual control.

For example: Morocco has gathered the spheres of influence of Britain, France, and West. How to expel Britain and West is a problem.

In any case, the nominal French sphere of influence is still not small, including Sudan has been transformed into a protectorate by Napoleon III.

Of course, this was only unilaterally announced by the Paris government and has not been recognized by the international community.The British also claimed to have signed a treaty with the Sudan, directly claiming their sovereignty.

These documents were basically signed by the colonizers, and may even be forged.Do n’t think about the powers of the great powers. Colonization has always relied on force, and it does n’t matter if you have a treaty or not.

This kind of fancy trick is just to self-frame and make yourself look good, so it has little legal effect in itself.

Obviously, the Sudan area has become the focus of the Anglo-French struggle.

The French wanted to link Sudan and Egypt together. It would be better to occupy Ethiopia and Somalia and gain the dominance of colonizing East Africa.

The British were competing for the Sudanese area, while also paying attention to Egypt, and the Suez Canal made them even more coveted.

In short, the Sudan area is very important to Britain and France.Falling into the hands of the French, the British are likely to be squeezed out of East Africa and can only be trapped in South Africa.

After falling into the hands of the British, the British who occupy the two corners of the southeast will not only reverse the unfavorable strategy on the African continent, but may further seize the Suez Canal and regain the dominant position in the Mediterranean.

This is a conspiracy. As long as Austria does not reach out indiscriminately, the conflict between the UK and France around the Sudan area will sooner or later.

The African continent has temporarily stabilized, and the Mexican civil war has also fallen into an underestimation period.After contracting the counterinsurgency mission, the French quickly defeated the rebels.

The Uzbekistan is the Uzbekistan. Without the Mexican government army adding chaos, the French army has erupted its true strength, which is simply not comparable to the rebels.

The French told the world with practical action that the defeat in the last Mexican war was only an exception, and they were still the most powerful army in the world.

The rebels naturally did not destroy them, and Mexico is not a small place. As long as the rebels find a place to hide, the French will be powerless.

The rule of Massimiliano I was not stabilized by the rebels being hit hard, but became shaky by successive social reforms.

If it were not for fear of the reaction of France and Austria, I am afraid that Mexico's powerful factions had already launched a coup and replaced the crown prince with a rubber stamp.

On the surface, it has stabilized, but the undercurrent has been surging.Now there is only one Mars and it can be detonated.

...

A wave just flattened, another wave started again.

In 1860, several black emirates east of the Transvaal Republic discovered a large amount of gold.In 1867, the first diamond was discovered in Hopetown on the Orange River.

For the British who control South Africa, the two Boer republics of Transvaal and Orange are no longer poor, but a piece of fat.

This is not the most critical, the bigger reason is that the tentacles of the Austrians have also stretched out.

The Boers were originally a mixed race of the Dutch, Germans, and some French, and naturally did not exclude Austria of the same ancestry and origin.

Small countries need to hold their thighs, and everyone soon becomes good friends.The Zulu people acted as a bridge of friendship between the two sides. In the recent African melee, the two sides jointly solved this threat.

For the British, the Boer's fall to Austria meant that the crisis was approaching.Taking advantage of Austria's advantage on the African continent, it seems that it is not too difficult to assimilate Boers who are born from the same source.

If it were not for the new Shinra empire that could not accommodate the Republic, it is possible that the two sides would have merged now.Even so, there are not many people among the Boers who support joining the Shinra colonial system.

This made the British full of crisis consciousness unbearable. They did not forget how they were expelled from the European continent. Naturally, they did not want to see what happened on the European continent.

Despite the opening of the Suez Canal, Cape Town ’s strategic value has declined, and this is still a battleground for military strategists.

This made the Governor of Delphi very headache. Since he took charge of the South Africa region, let alone expanding abroad, his sphere of influence is constantly being compressed.

In the face of the fierce Austrians, they were able to defend their current sphere of influence, and that was the brand of the British Empire.

As for expansion?The expeditions sent out were all without shadow, and occasionally escaped several people, all pointing to the black natives.

Which indigenous tribe is so powerful and capable of blocking their progress?This situation has continued for many years. A few years ago, they organized an expedition of 3,000 troops in an attempt to break this situation.

Then, this unit with high hopes, just after departure, was met with a large number of indigenous resistance.

They kept killing the gods and demon killing the devil all the way.I was too careless when I accidentally played. I walked a little further and was cut off.

Without the annihilation of the whole army, it is not far from that point.Over the next year, more than 1.5 million indigenous people moved to their colonies.

It's true that there are many people, but people also have to eat.The first thing these black tribes drove over was to grab ground.

In addition to the cities still under British control, the countryside is messy.Once the British tax officials did not dare to leave the city, a large number of immigrants fled South Africa with their families.

The deteriorating situation puts the predecessor in charge and retires early to support the elderly.Governor Delphi still solved the problem of overpopulation by introducing slave traders.

The main reason for these incidents is that the Republic of Boer cooperated with the actions of Austria and directly released these natives, otherwise Austria could not do this step.

Delphi has repeatedly proposed to the government to interfere in Austria's expansion, but it has no effect.It is not that the London government does not want to interfere, the problem is that they do not have the power to interfere.

In recent years, the dominance of the navy has been hit by France and Austria.The number of French armored ships has approached three-quarters of them, and the number of battleships in Austria is as high as 65% of the British.

The two strong standards have long been unknown in which corner to throw ash.The reality tells the British that do n’t pretend to be intimidated without money.

Of course, in terms of gross tonnage, the British still managed to achieve the two strong standards. After all, there is no one and their number of PK sail warships.

Looking at the information gathered, Governor Delphi felt that he should do something else, otherwise the rule of the British Empire in South Africa would be difficult in the future.

If anyone finds the above content, they will not feel that Delphi is overkill.It is awesome information about immigrants from two Boer republics in recent ten years.

Especially important is the immigration in the German region, which is as much as 80,000, more than 80% of the total immigration.

How many people are there in the Republic of Boer?At this rate, it will sooner or later become a German-born country.It is not surprising that the two Boer republics fell to Austria. The votes required the government to pro-Olympic.
