Milan City, Treos' newly emerging textile industry tycoon. The Osa War in 1848 directly caused a major reshuffle in the Lombardy capital community, and Treos took advantage of this gap to stand out.

It is different to pursue goals when you have money. Terreos' ancestors were also aristocratic, but they declined in his grandfather's generation.

At this time, Treos was considering whether to get a title and restore the glory of his ancestors.

It is not easy to obtain a knight in Austria. Of course, as a rich "Asian Shield" player, he still has more advantages than civilian players.

The colonial system created opportunities for them. As long as they were willing to spend money and recruit a large number of mercenaries to open colonies on the African continent to exchange for meritorious deeds, they could sooner or later make a title.

This is not the easiest way, but it is the most suitable road for Treos. Joining the army and going to the battlefield is easier to obtain titles, but this has never been the choice of capitalists.

The nobles have a higher social status, but in the business world, the nobles do not have special advantages, and many privileges have been reduced.

Terreos has always weighed the pros and cons. It depends on luck to obtain merit through overseas colonization. Input and output are often not proportional.

In fact, the nobles have more advantages in this regard. They have cultivated military command capabilities since childhood. Some nobles also have private troops of retainers left by their ancestors, so the colonial teams formed are naturally more combat-effective.

The colonial team will basically not lose money. Even if you don’t find any resources, grab all the way, and cooperate with labor export companies to help African tribes immigrate, you will have a profit.

As long as the colonial team does not lose money, it can operate for a long time. Over time, the merits will naturally accumulate.

This is something capitalists cannot compare with. Their advantage lies in being rich. There are people who have money. The retired officers and soldiers in recent years are all popular. Most capitalists recruit them to form colonial teams, and their combat effectiveness is not too poor.

Unfortunately, not everyone is willing to go to the African continent. With the increase of colonial teams, retired officers and soldiers willing to go to the colony are not enough, and the salary cost is increasing day by day.

As a latecomer, the recruitment standards had to be lowered, and the combat effectiveness of the colonial team was inevitably reduced.

Without strong combat power, it does not mean that you cannot colonize the African continent. How to deal with some indigenous tribes is still not a big problem, but the number of casualties is a bit high.

If you are not lucky, you can just vomit blood after a battle. Now the pension standard issued by the Austrian colonial team is basically 500 to 1,800 ASUS, and you can't afford to lose at all.

Stephen's appearance made Treos's eyes lit up. Others were laughing at Stephen for recruiting Italian mercenaries without combat effectiveness, but Treos saw the other side of cheapness.

As a qualified capitalist, Treos always keeps his advantage in saving costs.

The price of recruiting an ordinary German mercenary can recruit two Italian mercenaries; the price of an elite mercenary is enough to recruit five Italian mercenaries.

In addition to the low labor salary, the casualty pension can also be reduced to less than 300 Aegis. If you recruit from Italian states, you can still lose the pension if you suffer heavy losses.

As long as you are careful not to make progress, Italian mercenaries with slightly lower combat effectiveness can also sweep away indigenous tribes. After all, the cost is low and you can recruit more people, and you have an advantage when doing labor export business.

Just as Treos made up his mind to work with Stephen, a letter interrupted his entire fantasy.

Not everyone wants to revolution and independence, and Treos doesn't want to change the status quo, although he is also influenced by Italian nationalism.

It is okay to donate some money and preserve Italian traditional culture in normal times, but it is impossible to ask him to go to the battlefield in person.

He would not even do anything to fund the Revolutionary Party. Treos was very smart and never did the business that was destined to be unable to take back.

The political philosophy of all nationalists is often different, especially in the face of interests, which often determine the philosophy.

As a textile industry tycoon, if he leaves Austria on the surface, Treos can reduce many competitors and even dominate the Italian market.

But in fact, the raw materials can kill him after leaving Austria.

It is easy to say that importing from overseas is that if you really rely on imports fully, once there is turmoil in the international cotton market, it will immediately take his life.

Britain was able to become the overlord of the cotton textile industry, not only because of the strong textile industry, but more because it was backed by a powerful Royal Navy and had a vast colony to build a market, which could protect its own interests.

After independence, Italy was unable to protect his interests. Treos was just dissatisfied with the Vienna government's policies and abolished the current national integration policy and labor protection law.

This is completely different from rebellion. There are many people who are dissatisfied with national policies. After all, no policy can satisfy everyone.

If you rebel because of dissatisfaction with a government policy, wouldn’t it be a big chaos in the world? If anyone goes up, it will not be possible to satisfy everyone?

Thinking of the large number of mercenaries in the hands of Stephen and others, Treos's face changed and he immediately shouted: "Martin prepares the car immediately, I'm going to the city government."

Regardless of whether the revolution can succeed or not, business will be difficult as long as the war is in full swing. If you are not lucky, it is not impossible to go bankrupt by the rioters.

As the winner of the last reshuffle, Treos didn't want to do it again. He was a capitalist but also an industrialist. He was not the kind of businessman who bought low and sold high. The factory could not escape even when the war broke out.

...

Peppa, a few members of the Hungarian independent organization, were nervously submitting letters to the contact list.

For safety reasons, everyone showed their magical powers. Some hidden soles and sewn into clothes, and those with flexible minds simply changed to digital codes and used the Bible as carrier.

In the event of traitors betrayal, these are all futile. Compared with the Austrian Italian region, Hungary is more thoroughly cleaned, and those who can escape the disaster are smart people.

Domic, who delivered the letter, was tragic. He just ran into his master and was then kept.

After reading the letter, Brooks greeted Mr. Stephen's family in his heart. In his early years, the two were like-minded friends, and they worked together for Hungary's independence.

But today is different from the past. Brooks, who is over the middle of the year, has long been no longer the simple idealist.

The reason why I was able to escape was because I was lucky and fell ill and didn’t have time to join the rebellion.

After the illness was cured, the rebellion had already occurred, and Brooks, who was revolutionary inclination, was placed under house arrest by the emperor.

Thanks to his father's own involvement in the rebellion and his military achievements, his suspicion was ruled out.

Time is the best weapon. In the blink of an eye, his father passed away. Brooks, who had lost his restraint, was once again mixed up with the surviving nationalists.

At this time, everyone no longer shouted slogans to be independent every day, but instead opposed the ethnic division and unified language of the Vienna government.

Violent resistance is impossible. Hard bones met God long ago in the Independence Movement. Brooks is not stupid. He is very clear about the consequences of dealing with the government.

Because of his personal friends, Brooks and some members of the Hungarian Independent Organization remain secretly connected, but Stephen is not included.

There is no way, who made Stephen a political prisoner in exile? There are many independent Hungarian organizations, and many things have happened, and most of the members are not actually wanted.

Brooks is a smart person. Anyway, these people are in exile overseas and are not wanted. Even if they are exposed, they can pretend to be unaware of it.

If there are too many friends, the road is easier to walk on. Just like this time, the Hungarian Independent Organization wants to cause trouble, a friend hinted that he would stay away.

After seeing this letter, Brooks was very suspicious that someone was going to mess with him. There was too much content in the letter, and even the time for the uprising.

Under normal circumstances, it is impossible for a person like him who has not joined the Hungarian independent organization to gain trust. Are you not afraid of him reporting it?

Brooks asked tentatively: "Mr. Domicic, why did we revolt on February 15? We are completely unprepared?"

Domici didn't think so much, there was no need to keep his own people secret.

"Sir Brooks, a new wave of revolution in Europe has arrived. This time we join forces with other revolutionary groups to launch an uprising together in December.

Because we were not prepared enough, we delayed the date of the uprising to February 15. But don’t worry, the first thing to uprising against the Austrians was in Italy.

At present, we have recruited thousands of mercenaries and the cooperation of local revolutionary groups, and this uprising will definitely be successful!”

After hearing Domici's words, Brooks' suspicion was half eliminated. It seemed that he was really a member of the Hungarian Independent Organization, with this sacred expression just like when he was young.

Brooks continued, "What are my old friends who have any explanations?"

Since it was implied that he was staying away, and under normal circumstances, these friends had no reason to drag him into the water again, this letter was obviously not simple.

Domici thought for a while and said, "Mr. Paul said he would come to you and ask him hello. And let you keep the ham from the twelfth lunar month and wait for him to come and eat it.

Mr. Solam, ask you if you are old? He misses the Great Revolution very much, but unfortunately he failed the last time, and he won’t do this time.”

Domici didn't think these words were anything but understood, but just thought they were old friends to reminisce about the past.

But it was different when Brooks heard it. "Ham" was the secret code for retreating that year, and there was no doubt that it was telling him to run away.

The "Great Revolutionary Period" is not a good memory for them. As they watched their comrades fall down, countless like-minded friends were liquidated.

After figuring out the situation, cold sweat broke out on Brooks' forehead.

Others don’t know that the Hungarian Independent Organization received funding from Americans, but Brooks knew it very well. Their friends complained that Americans were making trouble.

Thinking of the current American Civil War, Brooks instantly figured out a lot of things.

This uprising must not be participated in. Either pack up your things and run away immediately, and wait until the matter is over before returning; or report it immediately and take yourself out.

Domici asked in confusion: "Sir Brooks, what's wrong with you?"

Looking at Domici with a simple face, Brooks felt a little reluctant and hesitated and said, "I'm fine. The situation in Hungary is very complicated. Domici, you complete the task as soon as possible and leave and take a boat to Russia to avoid the limelight."

Domici was shocked and asked in surprise: "Why?"

Brooks shook his head and said, "The police in the Page area have a good nose. The contact list is on you. If an accident occurs, the results of the organization's business here will be ruined."

Domici said with a firm look on his face: "Don't worry, Mr. Brooks. I didn't bring the list with me. Even if an accident occurs, the enemy will not gain anything."

Brooks did not continue to persuade him. Although he didn't know what the Hungarian Independent Organization was this time, he knew very well that the people sent were abandoned.

It was just that Brooks was worried that Domici would be arrested and would provide information about his connection with the Hungarian independent organization.

But after thinking about it carefully, Brooks thought that even if Domici escaped, these things would not be kept secret.

In normal times, such contact between friends is nothing, and he cannot be guilty. But when a major change occurs, it will be different. Maybe even the title will be taken into it.

There are only two ways left for Brooks, either running away and exile overseas; or reporting to the government, and past matters can be written off.

After hesitating for a while, Brooks decided to be a traitor. After all, this time the matter was too weird and there was a lot of fog inside.

"Domic, I don't doubt your loyalty, it's just the vigilance we should have and cannot make unnecessary sacrifices.

If you are willing to help, you can send me a few letters. Now is a critical moment, and I am not suitable to meet them. I am not at ease to ask my subordinates to send me off."

There is no doubt that Brooks is preparing to kill someone with a knife.

There are always a few enemies when he comes out, and Brooks is no exception. He takes the opportunity to pull them in and kick away a few blocking stones, and he has no pressure.
