Capital is profit-seeking. After the Bosnia and Herzegovina heavy industry plan was announced, for the sake of preferential policies, more people went to the local area for inspection.

To be specific, whether to invest, it will have to wait until the results come out. Usually, companies will have to buy a mine before they will make up their minds to invest.

There is no saying that ore is imported from abroad in this era. Although there are many minerals in the Austrian colonies, it is enough to mine and transport it back, and that cost is enough to collapse any enterprise.

Except for minerals that are not available in the country, there were very few ore imported in this era. In Europe's major industrial powers, most of the industrial raw materials rely on local self-sufficiency, and the colonies only serve as supplementary functions.

Franz believes that capitalists are smart and will handle all this himself. Those who are not smart will basically be cold.

Now he focused on the African battlefield, and after the British sent troops to Tunisia, the French followed him up.

The competition between Britain and France around the Tunisian Strait became fierce. As for the Tunisian government, it can be ignored. Two creditors came to their doorsteps, and they could only be ostrich.

In the Red Sea, the competition between Fao and the British also became fierce. The Suez Canal's successful navigation exceeded the British's expectations, and Fao and O worked together to squeeze them out of Egypt.

Now the French army has occupied most of Egypt, and the Austrian Libya region has also pushed the border line forward for several kilometers. Franz is also confused about how many places it has occupied.

Anyway, the Egyptian government will only be able to make a decision after the French negotiations. After all, according to the agreement, Egypt is allocated to the French, so it would be a loss to take advantage of the situation to rob.

The colonial government level is not enough, so it is normal for the Franco-Austrian alliance to be aligned. It is normal for such a thing to happen. Everyone can negotiate to resolve the problem.

Anyway, it is certain that the essence of Egypt is in the hands of the French, and Austrian's hands are not as long as they stretch. The occupied areas are just a few oasis and large deserts.

These are all small problems. France and Austria will not be stalemate on this issue. Anyway, it will be useless to occupy it in advance. These areas will have no value within a hundred years.

In order to offset the impact of Britain's attack on Ethiopia, Austria sent troops to the Arabian Peninsula in March 1869, which is the later Yemen region.

In short, the Red Sea area cannot be occupied by the British. Although the ports in Yemen are not very good and cannot be compared with Djibouti, there is still no problem in renovating the docked warships.

Britain and France did not take action, that was because they wanted to set up arches. The Ottoman Empire was their ally, and the Arabian Peninsula had always been deemed to be the Ottoman sphere of influence.

There is no sufficient benefit. We rarely do things to do with our allies. For the French, controlling the Suez Canal is enough, but Austria cannot block the canal anyway.

Needless to say, the British, in the face of the exclusion of France and Austria, if they make a move that can block the door, who knows what the stimulated countries of France and Austria will do?

The theory of interests is not suitable for monarchs. Many times the emperor's position is the position of the country. If France and Austria are stimulated together, it will be too late for the British to cry.

As the parties involved, their ministers in Vienna protested every day, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is now negotiating with them for the price.

It has already created a certain fact. If you like to sell it or not, Austria will not give it up anyway. If you have the ability, send troops to take it back, otherwise you will chat slowly at the negotiating table.

This is a learning American routine, first occupying the land, and then discussing the issue of buying and selling. Not only is the bid not high, but there is no need to worry about legal issues.

Not only the Ottoman Empire, but also all colonies on the African continent were purchased from local indigenous tribes by Austria, and all of them were legally written.

As for who signed it, and whether there is a legal effect, this question is worth studying.

In short, the colonial government signed a treaty with indigenous tribes, including their immigration, which was part of the treaty.

The general meaning is that the living conditions in Africa are too bad. They ask Austria to help them immigrate to a place with better living conditions, and the reward is the land they have.

There is no doubt that the colonial government strictly abides by the treaty and ensures that all of them immigrate, achieving the great life goal of getting rid of non-essence and becoming the American American.

In addition to international conflicts, changes on the battlefield in Africa have also attracted Franz's attention. Many African tribes have appeared in the hands of smoothbore guns, and it is obvious that some people do not want Austria to successfully complete the strategic plan.

The total population of Austria Africa has exceeded the seven million mark, and this number has seriously broken the balance. If this continues, the African continent may become a private land for Austria.

There are two factors in the rapid growth of population. On the one hand, it is immigration from East Prussia, and on the other hand, it is immigration caused by the European economic crisis.

Due to population relations, the development of Austria Africa is relatively perfect, far from comparable to the colonies of other European countries in Africa, and its attraction to immigration is increasing day by day.

This change has obviously caused fear from all countries, and quantitative change will eventually lead to qualitative change. Without Austria as a backing, these millions of people might not be taken seriously by Britain and France.

Unfortunately, there is a strong and prepared to localize Austria, so everyone has to be vigilant.

If the Great France hadn't planned to fool the French, it would have been not France and Austria that expelled the British in the Mediterranean, but Britain and France were joining forces to encircle Austria.

Fortunately, Napoleon III performed very well. He first annexed the Kingdom of Sardinia and launched the Egyptian War. Now he is still competing with the British for the Tunisia Strait, attracting most of John Bull's attention.

Even so, I still have to pay back if I come out to do it. Austria supports Ethiopia to resist the British invasion, so naturally the British will not be idle.

Not only did they sell weapons to the indigenous tribes, but they also sent a large number of military instructors to help train the army. Fortunately, these people were not successful and did not become famous for their training, otherwise Austria would be in trouble.

"Everyone, do you have any way to speed up the French? Their plan for France is too slow, so we need to push it."

If you want to make him die, you must make him crazy.

Franz was also worried about the French strategy of the Frenchman Great France. As a veteran opponent, the Habsburgs had a much better understanding of France than any country, and even more than themselves.

Originally, time and space were the first World War that broke the backbone of the French, at the cost of the fall of the German Empire and the disintegration of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Franz is unwilling to follow the example.

Even though Austria's strength seems to be even stronger, Franz is still unsure of how strong his combat power can be.

He was not worried about not being able to integrate the power of several states. In fact, there was no need to work hard at all. These states would do their best to war.

The reason is just by looking at the map. Most of Austria's defense pressure is on these countries. When the war breaks out, they are the ones who are unlucky.

If anyone doesn't cooperate, wouldn't he commit suicide?

The only problem is that there are no winners when the war breaks out, France has not yet declined, and Franz doesn't think he will encounter Prussia's luck.

Napoleon III dared to underestimate the Prussian Kingdom in the original time and space. However, facing the current Austria, the same thing would not have happened unless he gave him the halo of wisdom.

As long as you don’t make big mistakes, both sides will compete for strength. If you fight for France, Austria will not have the strength to dominate the European continent, and you may be besieged to death.

Since this is the case, France can only decline itself. It is very difficult to do this, and the best way is to let the French commit suicide.

It is impossible to challenge Europe. The French have tried many times. The closest one to success was in the Napoleon era, and it will definitely not come again now.

The Great French Empire was painted by Napoleon III for the people. Now Franz wants to use public opinion to force Napoleon III to turn the big cake into reality.

The dream of a great power is not only the driving force for a country to succeed, but also the driving force for a country to enter the abyss.

Foreign Minister Wesenberg replied: "Your Majesty, this may be difficult. It's not that the French do not want to implement the Greater France strategy, but mainly because they are not strong enough.

The competition for overseas colonies has already restrained the French from a lot of energy. Egypt, Tunisia and Mexico are using troops on three battlefields, and the newly occupied Kingdom of Sardinia is not that stable.

If they want to go further, unless they solve all these problems, the French will be unable to annex the Italian region, let alone attack Belgium."

The Vienna government has already studied it. If you want to get Belgium back to the Sunra Empire, the best way is to let the French annex Belgium.

Only after experiencing a single suffering will they know the goodness of the Shinra Empire. The same method is also applicable to Switzerland, but the French have no love for Switzerland, so this method cannot be used in Switzerland.

The French use of power is approaching their limit, so Franz naturally knew this problem. The three battlefields were all expeditions. Not to mention other things, military expenditure alone was a huge sum of money.

There are now 72,000 French troops in Mexico, 127,000 French troops in Egypt, and 48,000 French troops in Tunisia, and half of them were unknowingly gone.

If it weren't for geographical restrictions, it was a good time to sneak attack France, and their domestic strength dropped to the lowest point.

Obviously this is impossible. France and Austria do border in Italy, but neither is the core area. If you want to fight all the way, the Albis Mountains is a problem, so let's take a shower and go to bed!

Prime Minister Felix said thoughtfully: "Maybe it can stimulate them. The French are not without strength. The military force problem can be solved by expanding the army.

Financial issues, under the call of all French people, are the least important. The Napoleon III government has also accumulated a lot of money and consumed some of them.

It is more appropriate to stimulate the French, or to stimulate the radical expansion of civilian organizations. As long as the French expand their army, the expansion force will be available.

As for whether it will affect the development of France's economic development, French radical groups do not care, and Austria naturally does not care even more.

The only problem is that France's military expansion requires Austria to continue to ensure that the balance continues.

Franz pondered for a while and said, "There is no problem urging the French, but we must ensure that the situation will not get out of control. We are not ready for war."
