Looking forward to the stars and the moon, in July, the news of the Indian uprising finally reached Vienna, and Franz knew that the British were troubled.

During this period, 40,000 British troops and 230,000 Indian troops controlled the Indian subcontinent. Since the beginning of 1857, the Indian army has been constantly rumoring about mutiny, but they were all suppressed by the British.

On May 10, three Indian corps launched an uprising, occupied the ancient capital Delhi, and announced the restoration of the Mughal Empire, which caused a shock to India and the uprising trend spread rapidly across the country.

No, Franz fulfilled his ally obligations and informed the St. Petersburg government as soon as possible. I don’t know what will happen next.

If the negotiations between Britain and Austria go smoothly, then the Vienna government will be very stable and will do nothing in the future; if the negotiations break down, it is not impossible to support the independence movement of the Indian people.

Prime Minister Felix was murderous: "Your Majesty, the time is ripe.

The war between the British and Persia is not over yet, and now a great Indian uprising broke out. St. Petersburg's ambition for India may not be able to hold back.

The London government is too busy to take care of itself, and it is necessary for us to conduct a friendly state visit to the Ottoman Empire to enhance the friendship between the two sides."

Friendship, when did the Habsburgs have friendship with the Ottoman Empire?

When you open the family history, it is a bloody and tears story with the Ottoman Empire. It is not just an ancestor who wants to bury the Ottoman Empire.

By Franz's generation, we finally saw the dawn. The Ottoman Empire was driven out of the Balkans. The behemoth that once threatened the survival of the Habsburg dynasty has now become a soft-footed shrimp.

Franz smiled: "Then choose a good day with a beautiful and beautiful atmosphere and make a state visit to the Sudanese government!"

Given the long-standing traditional friendship between the two countries and the injustice of the Ottoman Empire, this is the sacred responsibility of the heirs of the Habsburg dynasty and there must be no discount.

Colonial Minister Josip Yelachici proposed: "Your Majesty, we should move on the African continent too. Now the French have accelerated their expansion on the African continent, and we will fall behind if we drag it down."

Interests are always the best catalyst. Just three years ago, with the support of Franz, the Vienna government only adopted the national policy of overseas colonization with a narrow advantage.

Until now, even traditional conservatives have no one opposed overseas colonial activities.

On the surface, Austrian colonies are still in a loss overall, but the accounts are not calculated in this way. The colonies have increased the market for domestic industrial and commercial products, and the gold excavated has made up for Austria's embarrassment of lack of gold reserves.

The gold mines mined in this era are all easy-to-mine rich ores, and dozens of tons of gold flow into Austria every year, stabilizing the currency value of the Aegis.

Without the gold from the Gulf of Guinea, the reform of the gold standard system of the Vienna government would not be so smooth.

In addition, there are fewer unstable elements in China, which gives ambitious people room to display and makes many people rich.

Franz thought for a while: "Yes, but the Kingdom of Tekrull in Nigeria is ambitious and wants to further establish an empire and launch the so-called jihad. We should not rush to join in.

Let the locals fight in the middle first, and when they are almost done, we can sell them some old-fashioned weapons."

Putting aside the underground resources, Nigeria is close to the equator, with fertile land and sufficient rainfall, suitable for planting tropical crops, such as peanuts, palms, cocoa, rubber...

For those who are keen on opening farms, this is a treasure land. The area of ​​developed arable land is as high as more than 60 million hectares, which is enough to support hundreds of millions of people.

Currently, the people who are promoting the action against Nigeria are the aristocrats in China. Many people who lost their land during the Great Revolution want to make up for it overseas.

This is the result of the guidance of the Vienna government, with upward and downward effects, and is common in any country. In this regard, the Vienna government has done a very good job.

Senior government officials have opened plantations overseas, which has made many people feel profitable and joined the event.

The royal family first captured land in Guinea and the Congo colony. At present, seven or eight plantations have been planned, including rubber plantations, cotton plantations, coffee plantations, and cocoa plantations... The total area exceeds 1.5 million hectares.

Of course, this is just a theoretical plan, and it is still an unknown number when it can be completed.

Up to now, the royal family has developed more than 15,000 hectares of land, and in the remaining areas, a group of loggers are working hard.

First, we have to cut down the trees, burn the grass on the ground, drain the water in the depression, and eliminate the local poisonous insects before we can develop farmland.

Without enough labor, it is difficult to improve the work efficiency by being forced to use local people as laborers.

Franz has sent people to introduce labor in East Asia, and farming is also a technical job, especially when land reclamation requires more technology. The local indigenous people are obviously not suitable for this job.

Austria prohibits the use of slaves. In order to ensure the long-term stability of the colonies, the colonial government also prohibits the use of slaves, and even the Labor Protection Law is required to be strictly implemented.

Of course, "strict implementation" is also divided into situations, and immigrants from China are of course strictly protected. These are precious wealth.

Naturally, supervision of local workers is not so strict, so the biggest problem is a fine. Unless someone creates a mixed race, they will not be in prison.

In essence, this is also to limit capitalists' dependence on local labor and the spread of disease.

The Labor Protection Law clearly tells everyone that once the problem of insufficient labor in the colonies is solved, the Labor Protection Law will be strictly enforced, and it is better for local workers to try to use as little as possible.

In order to reduce conflicts between colonial governments and indigenous tribes, the colonial government enforces encouragement of immigration, which includes two parts: partly to encourage domestic people to immigrate to colonies; partly to encourage local indigenous people to immigrate to the Americas.

On this issue, the Vienna government has reached immigration agreements with the United States, Brazil, Argentina, Portugal, Spain and other countries.

The treaty stipulates that countries can freely introduce indigenous immigrants in Austria colonies, and the colonial government does not impose any restrictions.

The Vienna government will also give rewards to individuals or organizations that perform outstandingly in immigration work. The current standard is: for every ten local immigrants taken away, 2 Aegis will be rewarded.

Under this favorable condition, more than 100,000 black immigrants left the Austrian colonies every year, greatly reducing the conflict between the colonial government and local indigenous tribes.
