Chapter 50, the ruthlessness of the rabble(1/2)

After sending the letter to Massimiliano in the Vienna Palace, Franz stopped paying attention to Mexico's issues.

There have been many things recently. The Prussian-Russian War has restrained too much energy. John Bull is not restless and has started to do things on the African continent.

Seeing France and Austria expanding heavily, they couldn't help it. A few years ago, they were dragged down by the Indian rebellion, and the London government had no energy to come and cause trouble.

Relying on the folk colonial team alone, it is obvious that it cannot compete with France and Austria. A colonial team of hundreds of people was wiped out on the African continent, which is normal.

France and Austria, which had the first advantage, both trained their own thugs. Not long ago, in Zimbabwe, an armed conflict broke out in Britain and Austria, and then tens of thousands of black people broke into the South African colonies, causing chaos.

The London government protested strongly to Vienna. Fortunately, the colonial government knew the right way, and only manipulated local indigenous tribes to attack the British and did not go into battle in person.

The British had no evidence that Austria did it, so the two governments could only slowly argue. As for the South African colonial company that suffered heavy losses, it was not within Franz's consideration.

African colonization is a high-risk business. If you can't afford the losses, it's best to leave early. In order to open up African colonies, Austria has to bear four-digit casualties almost every year.

These people died in battle or illness during the development process. If they cannot afford the casualties, it is best to stay in the coastal areas. Going deep into the inland will cost a price.

Some people in the civil colonial team exploded, while more teams suffered heavy losses. It would be very difficult to balance income and expenditure.

To be honest, if you colonize the African continent in this era, unless you discover precious metal mines, you will never get rich overnight.

Most of the private colonial teams opened up colonies and found that there were no gold and silver mines, they started trading labor exports, and sold them to the colonial government after they were almost cleaned up.

Long-term operation is not something that ordinary teams can afford. After finishing the living money, they will change places. Many people are looking forward to discovering gold mines and getting rich overnight.

Open up the plantation honestly and make profits by slowly operating it. This is only suitable for wealthy teams.

Think about it, a colonial team of thousands of people can occupy tens of thousands of square kilometers of land. How do they rely on to develop it?

Coal mines, iron ore, copper ore... These priceless minerals in later generations had no mining value at all in this era.

It cannot be refined on site, and the cost of transporting it back to Europe is as high as the sky.

To build these factories and develop these resources in the colonies, and the profit prospects are unclear, no one can bear this huge investment alone.

The labor costs in the colonies are higher than those in China, and there is a shortage of labor everywhere. After immigrating, they usually work hard for a few years, and after making money, they go to invest in the farm.

This is a habit of the German nation. Later American farmers became Germans, and this is the result of this tradition.

The colonial industry could not develop until the problem of insufficient labor was solved. Of course, Franz was not prepared to develop industry in the colonies.

Anyway, the resources of these Austrian colonies basically have innate restrictions, such as: there are fewer iron ore in places with many coal mines, and there are many iron ore in areas with many iron ore in coal shortage.

Before the transportation problem is resolved, there is no future for developing industry in the colonies. Unless Austria has a serious capital surplus and must be exported to the outside world, these problems will not be resolved.

The most suitable economy for development in the short term is agriculture, and plantations can be opened along both sides of the river. The Vienna government has always encouraged everyone to plant cash crops.

Especially in Austria, there are no industrial raw materials that need to be imported. For example: rubber plantations, cotton, brown tung oil...

(Note: Rubber is not just for car tires, but was widely used before the invention of the car, such as: umbrellas, raincoats, rain boots, plastic water pipes, and components of weapons and equipment...

It has a very wide range of uses. Before the birth of synthetic rubber, you basically don’t have to worry about sales issues.)

...

Intelligence leader Tyron Hui reported: "Your Majesty, based on the intelligence we have collected, many members of the revolutionary organization in exile in the United States have recently returned to Europe.

Including the Hungarian Independent Organization, the Italian Independent Organization, and the Polish Independent Organization, these revolutionary groups that may cause us trouble.

At present, we have only found traces of the Polish independent organizations, and they have appeared almost publicly, raising funds on the European continent to support the Polish rebels."

In the United States, thousands of miles away, intelligence organizations naturally cannot grasp the traces of these people. After all, information transmission is too slow.

Although the first trans-ocean telegram was laid in 1858, and the realization of connecting Europe and the United States would require the completion of the laying of the second submarine cable in 1866.

(Technical reasons cannot be guaranteed to be smooth at any time, and there is a certain chance of errors)

Moreover, this telegram line is still in the hands of Americans. As long as the federal government wants to block the news, it cannot be transmitted at all, and it may even be changed beyond recognition.

However, the situation in Europe is different. As long as the news is not intentionally blocked by governments, it can be transmitted using telegrams.

These active revolutionary organizations wish that they were not well-known enough, and their leaders were almost household names. Once they appeared, they would attract the attention of interested people.

Franz said disdainfully: "The Americans are desperate, what can these mobs do? Tell the news to the police department and let them deal with these fish."

There were not many revolutionary groups with combat effectiveness in this era, most of which were verbal parties, among which the French Revolutionary Party was the best, and they had won the victory with verbal names.

The drama of the February Revolution, if there had been no accidents and bloodshed and sacrifices later, they would have overthrew the Orleans dynasty by treating guests to dinner.

The banquet movement is essentially about eating and drinking, promoting revolutionary concepts, and doing some conspiracy.

They have always been in the verbal stage and have never really launched an armed uprising, otherwise Napoleon III would not have risen.

Because the revolutionary party had no armed forces from beginning to end, Napoleon III, who had bribed the army, was able to counterattack all the way.

With so many revolutionary groups, the most powerful one is the Poles. It’s not that they work hard, but that they have too many supporters.

If you sponsor a little, I sponsor a little, and an armed team will be born. For example, Austria, which is making soy sauce, has more than 800 armed personnel participating in the Polish uprising.

Of course, this is mainly because the Vienna government sent out the Poles who were inclined to the Polish independent organization and killed them with the hands of the Russians, just because it did not want to destroy the current national harmony in the country.

It is only second to cause trouble to the Russians. Franz is not so petty. Even if he wants to stab the knife, he still has to change the big one!

The other revolutionary teams were basically not armed. Franz had never heard of the Italian National Salvation Army organized by Gapoli, so naturally he didn't know that they were going to storm the southern Italian region.

There is no way for an independent organization that has never been bubbled.

Even the Hungarian independent organization, which has been playing soybean, has come into Franz's sight because it can brag, which only means that it is impossible not to brag in this era!

This negligence directly led to the tragedy of Naples. Otherwise, the Vienna government would have reminded them that they might be able to kill Gapoli’s national-savior army as soon as possible.

...

The Principality of Montenegro and the senior executives of the Hungarian Independent Organization gathered together to discuss countermeasures. The atmosphere was a bit depressing, and it was obvious that what they received was not good news.

Stephen said, "Everyone knows the situation. Let's say anything if you have any suggestions?"

Burchias said with anger: "What suggestions can you have? Now Hungary is just a geographical term. We Mazars have become ethnic minorities, or are ethnic minorities hosted by local people.

Austrians, God! Who can tell me that there is such a nation in the great Hungary?"

Remote control is completely different from being there in person. It is not easy to pass a message at such a long distance.

The Hungarian Independent Organization is a salted fish organization that cheats funds. Those sent out to perform tasks will be repeatedly reminded that safety is the first priority.

It’s not that they have a deep friendship with each other, but that they are afraid of falling into the hands of the Vienna government and explaining everything; on the other hand, they have few people and cannot afford to lose at all.

Most of the time, they placed their strongholds in the Kingdom of Sardinia. Because of Osa relations, even if their identity is exposed, the Sardinian government will inform them to run away as soon as possible.

Anyway, they are just posting small advertisements to promote revolutionary ideas. Just fool the second young man in the Kingdom of Sardinia to do it. With Osa hatred and financial stimulation, they are not afraid of not being able to find anyone.

As long as you are careful and cautious, the chance of being caught is very low. Later generations monitor the streets all over the streets, and small advertisements cannot be eliminated, let alone this era?

At this time, a middle-aged man said dissatisfiedly: "Mr. Bukias, I have reported to the organization before about the Austrian issue."

It has indeed been reported, but they did not pay attention to it. In the eyes of many people, this is just the Vienna government deceiving itself.

This is normal, but unfortunately they ignore the existence of compulsory education. Adults are not easy to fool, so children are different.

Since childhood, they have been closed-ended education. In their outlook on life a few years later, they are Austrians and Southern Austrians, a branch of the German nation.

The older generation didn't even know what kind of ethnic group they were. In addition, the Vienna government gave them land, and their recognition of Austria was at its highest point, and Austrians didn't think there was any problem.

In this context, the Mazar nation acted as a role in raising hatred.

Because someone in his family participated in the Hungarian independence movement, he was deprived of his title, fiefdom, and property, and became an ordinary citizen; he was also the ruler who had enslaved the local people, and was naturally excluded.

More than ten years have passed, and the glory and arrogance of the past has long disappeared, but as a family member of the rebel party, strict surveillance is still indispensable.

The relationships of people changed their ethnic groups and moved away from the local area. Anyway, they were not real Mazars, and they joined for the sake of interests. There is no pressure to change their identities now.

Then, in the era when Austria's population was growing rapidly, the number of Mazar people was declining sharply, less than one-third of its peak.

It’s fine if there are fewer numbers, but they are even broken up and resettled. There are only one or two households in a village. Are you afraid of causing trouble and not afraid of being suppressed by your neighbors?

This is very unfavorable for the Hungarian independent organization. These losers in the struggle for power are most likely to become one of them. Unfortunately, with the current situation, these people can't make any mistakes.

It won’t even take many years to see this nation only in history books.

An old man interrupted: "Okay, there is no need to worry about this issue. There may be many people in Austria who are dissatisfied with the Vienna government, but there are definitely few who are willing to launch an uprising with us.

If we don’t have to think about the people who are independent in Hungary, we know that besides the Mazar people, there are probably only some Italians left.

I propose to give up my actions in Hungary and move the revolutionary positions to Italy. Americans only need to see the results. They don’t care whether it was an uprising in Hungary or an uprising in Italy.”

Stephen objected: "Mr. Mariut, do you think we have the ability to launch an uprising in Italy?"

Everyone may have some relationships in China, but these people are all relatives and friends. I know you don’t want to involve them, and I don’t want to involve them either.

But the action must continue, even if it is just a good thing. Over the years, we have taken a lot of money from Americans. If there is no movement at all, it will definitely be unreasonable."

Mariut shook his head and said, "Since Austria annexed the Serbian region, Hungary has become a hinterland. I have no choice but to launch an uprising in the local area.

But it is different in their border areas. In recent years, the organization's management in the Kingdom of Sardinia has some foundation and can make use of Osa's contradictions.

For example: fooling a group of Sardinians into the Lombardy Kingdom, perhaps by going to a tavern to find a group of alcoholics to destroy them.

As long as I make trouble and take a few photos, I can tell the Americans that this is provoking conflicts between France and the Apocalypse.

You can also act as a tough trick and deliberately get hurt, which proves that we have suffered heavy losses and have no way to continue to launch an uprising.

No matter what, I am old and can’t afford to torture. After this incident, I will retire and don’t ask about the organization.”

They are professional when bragging, and fake it is also master-level. Mariut was not prepared to provoke a conflict between France and the Austrians. If it really provokes, the United States will not be able to return.
