Chapter 245： noble (1/2)
Austria ’s colonial strategy has not just begun. The Vienna government had already funded expeditions to conduct exploration on the African continent a few years ago.
Leaving aside the inland areas, at least the basic situation in the coastal areas is still quite clear, and now it is necessary to get started and not to be blind.
Not only the African continent, the Austrian government has collected intelligence on many regions of the world, such information has been collected by its own people, but also bought from second-hand traffickers.
Expeditions were also a business in this era. Many folk expeditions sold the information they collected to the colonial government in exchange for high remuneration.
Selling once is selling, and selling twice is naturally selling. As long as the price is right, everything is negotiable. Risking your life to explore, naturally you have to get enough rewards.
To be on the safe side, Franz sent three infantry divisions this time. They just won the coastal area and did not go deeper inland. These troops were enough.
Guinea's area is not large, it will be eaten by Austria in a short time, and the Congo region is not necessarily. Congo in this era also includes later Congolese + Congolese cloth.
The area is not ordinary, it is several times the size of Austria's mainland, and it is obviously impossible to occupy it with such a small amount of people.
Like all colonial nations, it is a priority coastal region, and Africa's inland has not yet developed.
First send this group of refugees to talk about, with the immigrants you can build a port city, and then slowly develop these lands.
How to colonize these areas, let ’s talk about it first. Franz decided to give the bureaucrats the greatest autonomy, and rule as high as possible.
In the evening, in a pub in Trieste, a group of alcoholics was chatting, and occasionally someone whistleed at several flowery women in front of the counter, and then ushered in a white eye.
These people are all living at sea, and their behavior is inevitably a little indulgent.
The women who appear here are naturally not serious people. They are all veterans, and social experience is ****
In short, as long as you have enough money, you can take it home overnight. They can't scare them, the **** is ruthless and the show is meaningless. These people were their benefactors yesterday, and today they are passers-by.
The joke stayed in the mouth, which meant that they had no money in their pockets, otherwise they would have gone up to action.
Anyway, the habit of begging for life at sea goes straight, and the women who do this will naturally not mind. The rich is the grandfather, and the one who directly practices the Fa on the spot is not not encountered.
...
Liquor is heroic gall, and whatever comes out of it when it is too high. It's not uncommon for words to dry up, and it happens from time to time.
The owner of the tavern was very knowledgeable. When encountering this situation, he just watched quietly, and then went up to ask for compensation after the fight.
Usually it has to be doubled. As a ground snake, it is not a problem to subdue a few sailors. Of course, if you encounter a fierce character, you can only consider yourself unlucky.
A drunk middle-aged man opened his mouth and said, ”Warren, so many troops are assembled here. Is this about to fight?”
The equally dazed Warren responded directly: ”Nonsense, Tagore, when have you seen our Navy fight, who can they fight? No, it is the Army and Navy who fight together?”
The voices of the two were already incomparable. Under normal circumstances, they did not dare to be so indulgent. If they encountered several drinking navy soldiers, they would have to endure a meal.
Although the Austrian Navy is not valued and has no record of success, that is not something they can despise.
Geographical position and national policy determine that the Austrian navy can do nothing. It can only serve as the army's background board, which does not mean that naval officers and men have no temper.
Soldiers always want military success. The Austrian Navy has no idea how many years of rest. Anyway, most of the Austrian war has nothing to do with them, and naval officers and soldiers can only sigh that the time is not right.
It was not until Franz came to power that he carried out a large training of the Army and Navy and forced retirement of a bunch of military officers. Everyone knew that the state policy of the Vienna government had changed.
Under normal circumstances, the Vienna government will not operate on the Navy. In the absence of war, it is very abnormal to strengthen naval training and increase naval military expenditures.
There was also news from the high-levels to open up an overseas colony. Many people thought that the opportunity had come. They did not expect that this was more than four years. In addition to training enhancements, warships increased, and then there was no more.
In this case, it is inevitable that young people will be a little bit suffocated. Mars will burn a little, and fighting and fighting will happen from time to time.
Of course, playing fast, tragedy after playing. It's okay not to be caught by the Military Law Office, and you won't have a good life for a long time in the future.
At this time several naval soldiers were also in the tavern, but they didn't have much time to care about the words of a few drunks.
Do the navy and army joint exercises require more than half of the navy to carry out exercises with three infantry divisions?
With this order, everyone is guessing who will fight this time. After much thought, we still can't think of our opponents.
In Britain and France, they ca n’t win at all. Even if the size of the navy is doubled, it is not an opponent. It can be ruled out directly. The Vienna government cannot issue such an idiot order.
Attack the Ottoman Empire? Don't think everyone knows that the Army has finished its work and Austria has everything it wants. The Sudanese government has moved its capital to Ankara. To find their obscurity, we must also consider the response of Britain and France.
A young man whispered, ”The authorities are fascinated by the onlookers, so you don't have to guess any more. Instead, listen to the answers of those drunks.”
Several people who were arguing stopped.
”Valen, you're stupid! Anyway, they also live at sea, don't you know that there are indigenous creatures in this world?
Our navy is not as good as Britain and France, and it is good enough to go to Spain, but it is no problem to go out and bully the indigenous people.
Now the troops assembled here can destroy several small countries overseas. ”Tagore's man despised
Warren reluctantly retorted: ”Fart, Tagore, you idiot, don't you know that the officials and grand masters in Vienna have always disdain overseas? Can you change their attention?”
