Chapter 448： Break my heart (1/2)

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

Whether to invest or not, we still have to wait until the results come out. Under normal circumstances, a company will not make up its mind to invest until it has bought a mine.

There is no such thing as importing ore from overseas in this era. Although there are a lot of minerals in the Austrian colonies, but to be mined and shipped back, that cost is enough to bring down any business.

Except for minerals that are not available locally, ore is rarely imported during this era. Europe's major industrial powers, most of the industrial raw materials are self-sufficient, the colonies are only supplementary.

Franz believes that capitalists are savvy and they will do it all. The mind is not bright, basically it has been cold.

Now he is focusing on the African battlefield. After the British sent troops to Tunisia, the French also followed closely.

The battle between Britain and France around the Tunis Strait became fierce. As for the Tunisian government, it can be ignored. Two creditors came to the door, and they could only be ostriches.

In the Red Sea, the competition between Faul and the British was also fierce. The successful navigation of the Suez Canal exceeded the expectations of the British. Faol joined forces to squeeze them out of Egypt.

Now that the French army has occupied most of Egypt, the Austrian Libyan region has also pushed the border forward by several kilometers, and how many places Franz has occupied is also confused.

Anyway, after the Egyptian government surrenders, Fao will be able to count after the negotiations. After all, Egypt was assigned to the French according to the agreement.

The level of colonial government is not enough. It is normal to know that the alliance between France and Austria is normal. It is also normal for this to happen. Everyone can negotiate to solve the problem.

Anyway, it can be confirmed that the essence of Egypt is in the hands of the French, Austria's hand is not stretched that long, the area occupied is just a few oasis, and a large desert.

This is a small issue. France and Austria will not stand still on this issue. It would not be useful to occupy it in advance anyway. For a century, these areas have no value.

In order to offset the impact of the British offensive against Ethiopia, Austria sent troops to the Arabian Peninsula in March 1869, which is the Yemeni region in the future.

In short, the Red Sea region cannot be occupied by the British. Although the ports in Yemen are not good enough to compare with Djibouti, there is no problem in transforming the docked warships.

Britain and France did not do anything, that is, they also had to set up a torii. In the end, the Ottoman Empire was their ally. The Arabian Peninsula has always been tacitly regarded as the Ottoman sphere of influence.

Not enough interest. We rarely do things to our allies. It is enough for the French to control the Suez Canal, anyway, Austria cannot block the canal.

It is self-evident for the British to face the exclusion of France and Austria, and if they can block the door, who knows what the stimulated France and Austria will do?

The mere interest theory is not suitable for the monarchy. In many cases, the position of the emperor is the position of the state. If the two countries are stimulated together, the British will have no time to cry.

As the client's Ottoman Empire, their Minister in Vienna protested every day, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is now talking to them about the price.

It has already caused the established fact that love to sell or not to sell casually, anyway, Austria will not let it out. Send troops to recapture if you have the ability, or talk slowly on the negotiation table.

This is the way to learn Americans, first occupy the land, and then discuss the issue of buying and selling. Not only are the bids not high, but there is no need to worry about legal issues.

Not only the Ottoman Empire, including all the colonies on the African continent, were bought from local indigenous tribes by legal means in Austria, all with legal written documents.

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

In short, the colonial government signed a treaty with indigenous tribes, including all their immigrants, as part of the treaty.

It basically means that the living conditions in Africa are too bad. They asked Austria to help them migrate to better living conditions, and the reward was the land they had.

There is no doubt that the colonial government strictly complied with the treaty. We promise to let them all immigrate, and achieve the great goal of life.

In addition to international conflicts, changes in the African battlefield have also attracted Franz's attention. Many African tribes have muskets in their hands, and obviously some people do not want Austria to successfully complete the strategic plan.

The total population of Austrian Africa has exceeded the 7 million mark. This figure has seriously broken the balance. If this continues, the African continent may become a reserved place for Austria.

There are two factors in the rapid growth of the population, one is immigration from East Prussia and the other is immigration brought about by the European economic crisis.

Because of the population, the development of Austrian Africa is relatively complete, far from being comparable to other European countries ’colonies in Africa, and it is increasingly attractive to immigrants.

Obviously, this change has caused fear among countries, and quantitative changes will eventually lead to qualitative changes. Without Austria's backing, these millions of people might not have been seen by Britain and France.

Unfortunately, there is a strong and ready-to-localize Austria, and everyone has to be vigilant.

If it weren't for the Frenchman's plan to linger on the French, it wouldn't be Faul's expulsion of the British in the Mediterranean, but Britain and France would join forces to block Austria.

Fortunately, Napoleon III performed well enough. First, he annexed the Kingdom of Sardinia and launched the Egyptian war. Now he is still competing with the British for the Tunis Strait and has attracted most of the attention of John Bull.
