Chapter 320: The Butterfly Effect (1/2)
If the French response can only be regarded as satisfactory, the British are greatly stimulated.
On May 12, 1861, the British Parliament passed the Naval Act, and the controversial two strong standards were officially released.
The Royal Navy has started dumplings, and plans to build 18 iron armored ships in the next three years, which is more than the total of the French and Austrian iron armored ships.
In the face of the British demonstrations, Franz did not see what he should do. Don't look at the British, French and Austrian countries' fiscal revenues seem to be almost the same, but in fact Austria can use the funds but it is far from comparable to the British.
The Royal Navy ’s military costs are not only borne by the London government, but also by overseas colonial governments, which Austria cannot match.
Since the financial resources are not enough, it is better to pretend that you are invisible. Anyway, everyone didn't tear their faces, the Vienna government never said that they would surpass the British in the navy.
Silence is the best weapon, and it is also the best result for the London government. If an arms race is really going to take place, the two strong standards will be fatal.
Compared to British and French responses, the Spaniard's performance was disappointing. Isabel II was not a master of great talents, nor did he have the ability to reshape Spain's glory.
Facing the era of the ironclad ship, Isabel II decisively chose to recognize it. The shipbuilding plan announced by the Spanish government makes the eating crowd feel the same.
As a traditional naval power, their shipbuilding plan is only six ships, which not only lags far behind Britain and France, but even distances them from Austria.
From the outside world's perspective, the Spaniards can't manage that, they are also forced to do nothing. With the collapse of the colonial system, the colonial empire has fallen.
Despite the unwillingness of the failed overseas colonialists, colonies were opened up on the African continent. Because of their strength, their progress is still not fast.
If it is just these problems, it cannot be solved. The most troublesome is the domestic political struggle. The rule of Isabel II is not stable, and the rebellion is endless.
For example: In 1860, the rebellion in Sicily caused the Spanish government to pay a large price to suppress it.
This is also due to the Franz butterfly effect. The international peacekeeping coalition took over the Kingdom of Sardinia. The famous Red Shirt Army did not organize, otherwise the results would not be so beautiful.
Of course, in history, the red shirt army led by Gabriel can succeed, and it is inseparable from the support of the British.
Without the support of a **** stick, they can't stir the situation. The Spaniards are not stupid. They are not the cover of the British. Most of the Red Shirts were fed before they landed in Sicily.
Now that the kingdom of Sardinia is at a critical juncture, who can afford to liberate Sicily. It is estimated that the flag was erected just by the French before it was suppressed.
Now the French have regarded the Kingdom of Sardinia as something in their pockets. Many countries have acquiesced in French actions under the diplomatic offensive of the Paris government.
On the outskirts of Turin, in a manor house.
Gabori said indignantly: ”Can't go on like this, the international coalition can't count on it. It won't be long before the Kingdom of Sardinia becomes a French colony!”
Gafur hurriedly persuaded: ”Calm down, the situation is not so bad. We must not embark on the path of armed confrontation unless we have to. We are now armed resistance, and no country will support us!”
As time went on, patriots within the Kingdom of Sardinia became increasingly intolerable of the usurpation of sovereignty.
In addition to the International Union ’s prestige, it only controlled a limited area. The only British who prevented the expansion of the French army was weak and difficult to play a decisive role.
Gabrielle sarcastically said, ”Galfur, you know patience, patience, patience. Don't forget that most of the Sardinian kingdom is now swallowed by the French!
The so-called international investigation team is actually led by Britain, France, Russia and Austria. The Russians were beyond their reach, and even if they wanted to intervene, the Austrians agreed.
How about our relationship with Austria, needless to say? Coupled with this assassination, Franz the tyrant can't wait to kill us. As long as the Paris government is willing to bid, it is a matter of time to sell us.
The remaining Britons have also made a look, if they really want to intervene, there will not be only so much effort.
Wake up, no one can count on now, we can rely on only ourselves! ”
Gafur's face was very ugly. Originally, according to his analysis, the two countries restrained each other. With the support of the British, no one was able to annex the Kingdom of Sardinia.
He was also prepared to provoke the contradiction between France and Austria and pay the price in support of France for their annexation of Lombardy and Venesia. The result of an assassination was to destroy it all.
The embarrassed French had already been killed, and the Vienna government was only catching the murderer, and turned a blind eye to the French expansion into Italy.
In this case, he can't show his versatility. The French appetite is so big that he doesn't leave room for operation at all.
Gafur replied, ”Why is this happening? It wasn't caused by your arrogance. The assassination case broke out, your idiots also regarded the assassins as heroes, and organized activities to celebrate.
Didn't you have a brain at the beginning? Everyone is afraid of having a relationship with the assassination case. We are trying everything to elute the suspicion. You can take the trouble directly.
