Originally, Franz was just using the opening of a colony to cover the military preparations for interfering in the American Civil War, but the American Civil War did not interfere, and a new round of colonial expansion in Austria broke out first.

First of all, it is the African continent. Don’t look at the three infantry divisions that seem to have few troops, but if they are invested in overseas colonization, they can sweep a dozen indigenous tribes.

Open the map and you will know that the colonies from West Africa to the Congo region are already connected.

The Austrian colonial forces in the south have pushed their sphere of influence to Zambia along the rivers; and the east has penetrated into Uganda and Kenya.

In the Middle East, Austria used the Sinai Peninsula as a springboard and brought its tentacles deep into the Arabian Peninsula. It has deceived many tribes to sign land purchase treaties, and Austrian colonial strongholds appeared in the Persian Gulf.

Just wait for the Suez Canal to be opened, these areas will fall into the hands of Austria.

In Central America, Austria mainly focuses on infiltration and does not play the war of destruction as soon as it comes. If a group of immigrants deceived from the United States are placed, countries will not be able to avoid Austria's control.

Taking Nicaragua as an example, the number of Germans occupies four layers of white people and becomes the largest ethnic group in the local area. There is also Austrian army stationed there, and the government cannot do anything if it wants to be a close friend to the Austrian community.

The new Holy Roman Empire added a Lanfang Autonomous Province, and Franz didn't mind adding a few more. Peace **** was also a good way to expand.

Of course, this is only effective for places like Central America, where there are vast and sparsely populated areas. After all, the number of local white people is only a few hundred thousand, and it is divided into five or six countries.

Even if it is not included in the imperial system, it can become a pro-Austrian country. It is actually not a good thing to directly annex the areas that are difficult to rule in the local area, and loose alliances are not unacceptable.

In the South China Sea, Franz didn't know how many islands the Austrian colonial government occupied. Anyway, it was four digits, and many island countries were really not built.

The expansion of the South Ocean has stopped, and now we will watch the performances of Prussia and German Federation.

The German Federation's unscrupulous Malaysia area is scrambling, and it seems that George I has settled the London government.

The Kingdom of Prussia chose to fight the Indochina Peninsula for a very simple reason: the Indochina Peninsula is fertile enough and has a lot of room for expansion.

Although Sumatra is not bad, it is still too small compared to the Indochina Peninsula, and the Dutch have occupied a lot of territory.

In Prussia, the European continent, can beat the Dutch, but when it comes to the Nanyang region, this situation just turns upside down. The newborn Prussian navy has no confidence.

After opening the world map and looking carefully, Franz was surprised to find that the world was about to be divided.

This is not a good thing, it means that conflicts between countries will occur from time to time in the future. Especially emerging empires, they will inevitably challenge the world order to seize living space.

As time went by Franz, he gave up this idea. Under the current situation, it was too difficult for the European continent to have an emerging empire.

The co-establishment of Russia, France and Austria cannot tolerate the rise of the fourth pole. Spain, at the second level, is still deeply trapped in internal conflicts, and they are old empires, and they still have a lot of legacy left behind.

Not to mention Prussia, in order to solve industrial raw materials and markets, was forced to move towards overseas colonization. The second German empire was established unless someone cheated on them.

Another potential stock in the Kingdom of Sardinia, this time, died before he could succeed. Not to mention unifying the Italian region, they themselves became nutrients for the French.

Franz is taking care of his children, and he is now the father of three children.

Although he was only seven years old, as the crown prince, Frederick did not have the opportunity to be a rice worm. He had endless homework and endless knowledge every day.

As if he was hit, Frederick, dejectedly walked to Franz and asked, "Father, why do I just want to go to school, and you don't have to?"

Franz patiently explained: "It's very simple, because I've finished these lessons, so I don't have to read them now.

Your younger brothers are still too young, and you can’t even tell William’s words. How can you study? When they grow up a little longer, they will go to school with you.”

Frederick complained: "But I have too many homework. I have been outside, and many children only have three homework."

That’s right, there are only three subjects for compulsory education in Austria: German, mathematics, history, and other subjects are all electives.

Both German and history are added, and German contains patriotic education. History is naturally from the Great German version, proving from the source that all Austrian ethnic groups are branches of the Germanic ethnic groups.

Whether ordinary people believe it or not, the nobles believe it anyway. Their ancestors basically came from the German region, and then they represented the various Austrian nations.

History is untestable, and the cultural community is still arguing endlessly. Franz did not intervene. Anyway, as long as he assimilates and educates two generations, it is impossible to repeat it later.

If the textbook is proved to be incorrect, it doesn’t matter. It is understandable that the information passed down has errors.

The government does not confirm or deny it. Professional issues will make historians quarrel slowly, but in short, they are all academic issues.

Discuss it casually after being closed, but the people don’t care about these things anyway. The textbooks cannot be corrected before a unified answer is formed.

Franz explained: "That's just basic education provided by the country, and those with the conditions must learn more.

This world is cruel, Frederick. The amount of knowledge he learns also means his position in society.

As the crown prince of the empire, you are born to stand at the top of the world. If you have to be the best, you will naturally learn more. This is the ability you must have, and I have come here too."

Happy education? Born in the royal family, it is born with inseparable from happiness.

To cultivate interests and hobbies and develop? Or don’t dream anymore. As the crown prince’s profession, you are the emperor, and you don’t need to consider employment issues at all.

This is the most enviable and embarrassing profession.

As long as an emperor is trained strictly according to the process, he may not be able to produce geniuses, nor will he cultivate silly white sweets.

Franz does not need a genius heir, because geniuses usually have quirks and are not suitable for the profession of emperors.

As the heir to the empire, as long as you can maintain the operation of the empire step by step, have certain basic knowledge and not be fooled by others.

As for governing the country, isn’t there still a cabinet?

The fault tolerance rate of a great empire is very high. Only the emperor does not make random efforts. Cabinet officials who climb up step by step by step by step by step by poor ability to govern the country will not cause grudges from heaven.

Besides, if the cabinet is not good, you can change people. As an emperor, just throw the guy who messed up the matter out and take the blame at a critical moment.

In short, if the emperor does not interfere randomly, things will be nowhere to go. At the same time, he is putting a tight curse on the bureaucrats, and occasionally arresting a few corrupt officials who are not eyeing to warn him, that is a good emperor.

Looking at Frederick with a depressed look, Franz just smiled slightly and didn't say much.

A maid hurriedly ran and said, "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager invites you to come."

Franz also knew him, and he was the most favored maid next to Empress Dowager Sophie.

"Elena, what happened? Are you so anxious?"

Elena ran a little anxiously, and she couldn't breathe, and said hesitantly: "The Grand Duke Masimireno is preparing to go to Mexico to be the emperor, but was opposed by the Empress Dowager and there was a fierce quarrel. Go and take a look!"

Franz had a headache in an instant, and he also had a headache for this uneasy brother.

Franz had asked someone to hand over the information about Mexico to him, with the goal of making him retreat. Unexpectedly, he still made the same choice in history now.

It’s no wonder that as a good brother, Franz arrived at the scene as fast as possible.

I heard the roar of Empress Dowager Sophie from afar. It was obvious that she was very angry by Masimirano. As a member of the royal family, Empress Dowager Sophie still knew the most basic international common sense. Judging from her amateur political perspective, this is a huge pit.

Seeing Franz come in, Empress Dowager Sophie stopped roaring, calmed down and said, "Franz, give your baby brother a brief introduction to the situation in Mexico. This idiot actually wants to be the emperor in Mexico."

Franz comforted: "Okay mother, leave this idiot to me, you can calm down first."

Looking at the dejected Massimirino, Franz knew that he was very dissatisfied. Massimirino, who was smooth sailing, naturally developed a sense of arrogance, for example, he wanted to challenge the Hell copy now.

"Massimirino, who asked me to be the emperor in Mexico? Don't tell me, you don't even have supporters." Franz asked

Massimiliano replied: "Mexican constitutionalists and Napoleon III promised to support me in succession."

Obviously, Masimirino is not really stupid. In theory, he has gained support from France and Austria, and coupled with the strength of the Mexican constitutionalists, it is not difficult for him to hold the throne firmly.

Franz asked sternly: "If you want to wear a crown, you must bear the weight first! Massimilano, why do you think you can hold the throne of Mexico? Show your policy to convince me and prove your ability.

The Habsburgs would not have helped an ignorant idiot to the throne, otherwise one day this idiot would have been on the guillotine and we would not be able to afford that person.”

Massimiliano, who was stimulated, immediately replied: "Wait, I will prove it to you!"

Franz did not continue to sarcasm, and the pit had been dug. There was never a perfect policy plan in the world. No matter what plan Massimirino came up with, Franz could pick it out.

If even an idealist cannot fool him, how can Franz achieve the Austrian revival?
