Chapter twenty-four, the birth of the eldest son

One wave has not yet settled, and another wave has started again.

After entering the 19th century, the great powers fought fiercely against the North African market, and the international situation became increasingly unfavorable to the Moroccan government.

In the 1940s and 1950s, a large number of cheap European goods poured into Morocco, impacting the economy of the Kingdom of Morocco.

In order to reverse this situation, the Moroccan government increased tariffs. In 1852, import tariffs in the Kingdom of Morocco increased by an average of 20%, in an attempt to use high tariffs to protect the local market.

Obviously, this harmed the interests of major European powers. In December 1856, the British forced the Moroccan government to sign the "British-Moroccan Treaty".

Through the treaty, the British obtained extraterritorial rights, the rights to trade across Morocco, and the tariffs were reduced to 10% of the commodity price.

Once Pandora's Box is opened, the situation loses control and the great powers flock to obtain the same rights.

The Moroccan government, which believed that it had received support from the British, refused the demands of various countries without hesitation, which aroused strong dissatisfaction among various countries.

Colonial Minister Josip Yelachici proposed: "Your Majesty, the Moroccan government has rejected the proposals of all countries. Faspis and Spain can send troops to Morocco at any time. Should we also take action?"

The main reason why Morocco is attracting much attention from all countries is that it is too fertile. It not only has rich mineral resources, but also has 220,000 square kilometers of land that is fertile soil suitable for agricultural development. It is a major agricultural exporter in Africa, and the climatic conditions are very good.

A man is innocent and possesses a treasure. Without poisonous insects and beasts, the Kingdom of Morocco has become a fat sheep in everyone's eyes.

Franz shook his head and said, "We have too little interests in the Kingdom of Morocco, and there is no need to join in.

In recent years, we have gained too much benefit, which has caused dissatisfaction among European countries. What we need at this time is digestion."

Although Morocco is good, it has to face the operation of Britain, France and the West. Instead of wasting time here, it is better to drive the uninhibited African giant 6.

Now Austria has also embarked on the old path of various countries, constantly sending expeditions to Africa to prepare for colonization. Many civil colonial teams have independently established colonial strongholds outside.

There were also some colonial teams from the German Federation Empire and the Prussian Kingdom, which were also affiliated with the new Holy Roman Empire, and Franz also refused.

Why do you have to distinguish them so clearly when you are all Germans? As long as everyone recognizes him as the emperor, everything will be easy to discuss.

For example: The colonial stronghold of Cameroon was first opened by Prussian nobles, but the Berlin government is now not interested in colonial activities.

There is no way. In the era of great colonial era, it was very dangerous to colonize overseas by relying on personal strength alone. In order to fight against the British colonists, they naturally joined the flag of the New Holy Roman Empire.

For example, Hamburg capitalists established strongholds in the Comoros Islands, busy with internal integration of the German Federal Empire, without caring about colonization outside Shanghai, and finally hung the flag of the new Holy Roman Empire.

In short, the number of overseas colonial strongholds counted by the Ministry of Coloniality has reached 41, of which 27 were established by the Vienna government and ruled the local area.

The remaining colonial strongholds are only nominal existences, and the civil colonial teams have limited strength. They often just randomly enclose a piece of land and establish so-called strongholds, or randomly fool an indigenous tribe into signing a so-called protection treaty.

According to the standards currently accepted by countries, in the absence of conflicts of interest, everyone defaults on each other.

Even if the colony is born, most of them are negotiated first, and they usually buy a stronghold for some money. Only when they can't reach an agreement will they use force. If they do not receive the support of the state, most of them will be directly wiped out as pirates.

In this era, capitalists engaged in international trade occasionally made pirates, and it was not unfair.

Compared with colonial powers like Britain and France, Austria can only be regarded as a pediatric family. Even small countries such as Portugal and the Netherlands, overseas colonial strongholds also started in triple-digits.

Many cannot be said to be colonial strongholds, and it is more suitable to use commercial sites. There are more than a thousand people on these strongholds, and there are fewer people.

There is nothing strange. If there is no sufficient benefit, it is normal for the civil colonial team to give up these strongholds. If someone is willing to pay for it, they can buy it.

If the government relied on the promotion of colonial activities and sent bureaucrats to manage colonial strongholds, the wealthy British would become the first bankrupt colonial empire. Who made them control too large and too many colonial strongholds?

Franz naturally has to learn from everyone's successful experiences and lead domestic ambitions overseas. There is no such thing as a saying in Europe's 60s, but it is not ruled out that some people are confused.

Even if there is room for growth in China, Franz cannot allow them to establish an independent kingdom. Overseas colonies are different and you can go there at will.

As long as he has the ability to conquer a kingdom, Franz will also recognize him. Isn’t it the throne? There are already several new Holy Roman Empire, so I don’t care about adding one.

He is not afraid of someone making independence overseas. If he wants to be lonely under the European cultural system, he must first look at fists but bloodline. Without bloodline, there is no legal system. Even the awesome Napoleon has a headache about this.

Even now, the legitimacy of the throne of Napoleon III has been criticized by the outside world. The seemingly stable French regime has actually had a very fragile ruling foundation.

No matter how awesome the exhibition overseas is, without the canonization of the emperor, the regime would not be stable.

Franz doesn't think that when he can be a king, there will be a few people who are willing to be presidents. Even if there is really, will his subordinates still want to become nobles?

...

In the evening, Schönbrunn Palace was brightly lit, and important members of the Habsburg family in Vienna gathered together, and the Austrian nobles also rushed over, waiting for the arrival of their little lives.

While waiting anxiously, Franz, who had always been steady, also lingered, and sweat on his forehead unconsciously emerged. It is winter in Vienna now.

"Franz goes back and sits well, don't sway in front of me, it makes me feel restless."

There were four people in the Vienna palace who dared to scold Emperor Franz like this. Obviously, this could not be the Ferdinand I and his wife who had already abdicated and lived in seclusion. The result was obvious.

"Okay, mother!"

Franz replied casually, and after saying that, he returned to his seat nervously.

"The queen is going to give birth!"

The doctor's voice came, and everyone rushed into the delivery room together. This is the rule. In order to ensure the legitimacy of the prince's bloodline, supervision is essential.

This kind of supervision is directly related to the legitimacy of the next generation. If there is no witness, then legitimacy will be questioned.

After all, the medical technology conditions in this era were limited, and many nobles lost their fertility due to various reasons, or finally a heir was a dead baby.

In order to preserve the family heritage, European nobles have done a lot of things that Li Dai Taozun borrowed from the outside world.

However, few of these operations have been successful and those who cannot prove their bloodline will directly lose their inheritance rights.

The next generation of the nobles must be supervised, let alone the next generation of the emperor. If it is a prince, it is the heir to the Habsburg dynasty, and it is impossible to fool it.

Under everyone's expectations, the "Wow, wow, wow..." sounded, and before we could confirm the man and woman, Franz rushed out.

Unfortunately, as soon as he took the first step, Grand Duke Carl pulled him back and said seriously: "Don't cause trouble"!

Franz, who had reacted, immediately stopped, and he really didn't need his help at this time.

"A healthy prince!"

The doctor's voice sounded, and everyone showed joy, which meant that the next generation of the Habsburg dynasty had appeared.

Then everyone came forward one by one to confirm that they were carrying the handle, and the matter was completed. At this time, a nurse had already stepped forward to feed her, and Franz continued to watch and make soy sauce.

After accepting everyone's congratulations, after beating the supervisory team, and then greeting the suffering queen, Franz had the opportunity to get in touch with the little one.

Unfortunately, he was disgusted by his tyranny, and his two mistresses decided unanimously and deprived of the right to hold the child. Not only him, but his father, Grand Duke Carl, was also disgusted.

There is no way, this is the eldest son, everyone is very careful. The little prince is hugged by his nurse with rich experience most of the time. Empress Dowager Sophie hugged him once, and she was extremely nervous, for fear that she would hurt the little guy.
