Chapter 260： Aegis (1/2)

After the wedding celebration, Franz became busier. So many guests came over, how could he not entertain as a host?

Banquets, banquets, or banquets, these days Franz welcomes the banquet to the imagination. There is no way, etiquette cannot be less.

Several younger brothers and a group of grand-princes of the Habsburg family have become coolies, but these people seem to enjoy it, leaving Franz speechless.

Under the shock of the good news of Franz's wedding, the news that the Vienna government's acquisition of gold was blocked has been masked. In the eyes of ordinary people, the emperor's wedding is more worthy of attention, and the acquisition of gold is blocked, and only professionals are paying attention.

It took more than a month to live away all the guests, and during that period, I made some promises, and Franz himself did not remember. It doesn't matter, there is a dedicated staff record.

When these kings come to attend the wedding in person, it is certainly impossible to simply leave relatives. Otherwise, the traffic is inconvenient and there are many relatives of the aristocracy. Relatives have been married all year round. Are they still busy?

Franz is not ready to make the wind and rain on the European continent, naturally it is necessary to have a good relationship with everyone.

Don't look at the power of these small countries, and they don't have much right to speak, but because of this, everyone can be assured to be friends!

As an emperor who admired pacifism, Franz's favorite thing is that everyone is a good friend. It is good to fight and kill what is not good.

Europe is too peaceful, but the world is not very peaceful. The British and French who are idle have begun to engage in things in the world.

In 1852, Lambert, the acting commander of the East India Company, paid attention to Myanmar, extorted 100,000 pounds from the Burmese king, and issued a war envoy for the reason that the chief executive of Burma was not receiving him.

With such a lame excuse, Franz had nothing to say. Whether they are willing to receive or not is the freedom of others. The villain was approaching the door, and it was normal to not want to receive it.

However, in this era, the British pursued hegemony in the East, and even British diplomat Da Hexuan declared openly: ”Nowhere in the East can we be shut out.”

The king of Burma had good luck. The Near East War broke out suddenly, the energy of the London government was concentrated on the European continent, and the expansion of overseas colonial activities inevitably contracted.

After losing a sum of money, the Myanmar government went through a crisis.

It is a pity that the Near East War did not continue, and the decaying Burmese government did not seize this opportunity to carry out a rich country and strong soldiers.

Now that the Englishman who has been idle has come to the door again, this time nothing has attracted the attention of the London government, so an unsuspecting war broke out.

The war is still going on, and British diplomat Da Heji has declared openly that Myanmar is a colony of the British Empire.

This outrageous approach directly refreshed Franz's three views and made him re-understand what colonialism was.

In the Pacific, Britain and France have also waged fierce competition. In general, the British have taken advantage, and the French have gained.

Looking at the British and French horse racing enclosures, Franz has only envy, and colonizing the Pacific region is still very challenging for Austria.

The axiom is always within the range of the artillery. Austrian artillery can not shoot that far, and it is easy to be taught to run.

The Netherlands and Portugal are examples in this regard. As pioneers of the colonial movement, at this time they had to be cautious in the face of British and French competition.

Of course, it is also indispensable to **** food. In the competition between Britain, France and Netherlands, the Dutch won the rich Indonesian region.

Of course, this has international political relations. Most of the Dutch still have first-mover advantages in Indonesia, and they have been operating for a longer time. They have an advantage over British and French colonial forces in the local area.

If the Dutch do not have the strength locally, no matter how they operate diplomatically, Britain and France will not be able to abandon the rich Indonesian region. No matter whether it is spices or various minerals, we cannot give up.

Now is the climax of dividing up the colonies. There are still a lot of borderless places in the world. Although everyone's competition is fierce, it is not as cruel as the end of the 19th century.

Austria has not joined this wave of division, and the government's main energy is still focused on currency reform. At most, African colonies are slowly expanding outward.

This is a small problem. The eyes of all countries are overseas. The African continent with poisonous beasts has not yet attracted everyone's attention. Naturally, Austria ’s small movements have gone unnoticed.

Chancellor of the Exchequer Carl angrily said: ”Your Majesty, the sudden drop in the price of gold, the London stock market triggered a violent turmoil, the British consortium began to harvest, we can be regarded as being caught in the pond.

From the logic of whoever makes the profit, the Vienna government naturally thinks that the mastermind is the British consortium.

As for the small moves of the London government? Obviously, it is either being tricked or a real economic idiot.

The result is now clear that the Vienna government has to pay more for gold. But no matter how great this loss is, it is not as expensive as Britain itself.

Someone dare to use the tactics of killing one thousand and self-damaging eight hundred. Only the tactics of killing one thousand by self-damaging eighty are dared to use it.
