Chapter 467： Have their own calculations (1/2)
The ”chicken killer monkey” is not so easy to operate. The chicken that is killed first does not agree. If the butcher is not skilled enough, the chicken may fly.
When it comes to politics, no one is a fool. Everyone is in a circle. Who doesn't have a few secrets?
The news of the Austrian delegation's arrival is not a secret at all. Since the Vienna government wants to annex Transvaal and the Orange Free State, under normal circumstances, it is necessary to attract these powerful factions.
Don't think that they are anti-Austrians in politics, they really have deep hatred with Austria, and they will die to the end.
With the exception of a few middle-age two boys, the anti-Austrian anti-Austrian fritters are only politically needed. There are people who can make a profit by joining Austrian Africa. Naturally, some people's interests are damaged, and it is impossible to meet the interests of all people.
Those who have suffered are naturally opposed to mergers. Crying children have milk to eat, and both Chinese and Western are common. How can you get benefits if you don't cry?
In order to gain more benefits, anti-Austrians were born. There are numerous links between pro-Austrians and anti-Austrians, even for betting on both ends.
Not everyone can predict that Austria's expansion will be so fast. Before they could react, Austria had arrived at their doorstep to discuss the merger.
If you want to make a U-turn immediately, it must be too late. Anti-Austrians also have a background, such as secretly collaborating with British and Portuguese.
The tragedy is that the Austrian continent is now very powerful, the Portuguese are completely afraid to make inferior positions, and the British also do not have enough strength to suppress Austria.
The general trend is not something that can be reversed by individuals. Many people are ready to change jobs and wait for the Vienna government to bid.
The plan did not change quickly. Viscount Fickney, who led the operation, did not follow the rules at all. After attracting pro-Austrians, he stopped acting.
Even the restless ones were delivered to the door, but were turned away. Viscount Fickney had no intention of accepting them.
At this time, the situation in Transvaal and the Orange Free State also changed, and the pro-Austrians suddenly launched a political offensive against them.
Smart people know that the storm is coming. As the wrong team this time, the danger is approaching them. The Pro-Austrians are not a monolith. It is also normal for several anti-Olympic elements to lurk, and news leaked.
Looking at the information in his hand, William, one of the anti-Austrian political leaders, was furious. Isn't that just a few slogans, so as to yell and kill?
Although they are ”anti-Austrian”, they have actually stayed on propaganda, but no one dares to really provoke Austria in their work.
Weak countries have no diplomacy, and this universal international rule is common in South Africa. ”Anti-Austrian” is almost the same, if they are the last to be unlucky in Upper Austria.
This time it's different. It's not that they are going to go against Austria, but that Austria is going to use their heads to make a difference.
William is now in a dilemma. It is too late to jump back. It takes time to change his political stance. Obviously, the enemy will not give him this time.
The Austrians want to kill Liwei, and those who fall into the arms of Austria need to use their heads as names. At a critical moment, William had to think about the way back.
At this time he remembered the British, who had contacted him not long ago, but the situation at that time was far worse than it is now, and William was unwilling to take risks.
After hesitating, William decided to try again: ”Raul, immediately inform Scoman, Field, Lanks, Tyron and a few old friends. We have a banquet tonight.”
The Republic of Transvaal is not big, it is a new country, the upper circles are even smaller, and the struggle for rights is far less intense than imagined by the outside world.
Despite political differences, William and these pro-Olympic leaders speak. Now he wanted to get out of his body and needed these people to help.
If he could retreat, William would not mind giving up some of the benefits as the price of the wrong team.
Servant Raul answered, ”Yes, Mr. William!”
At the same time as tempting, William was also planning for the worst. After Raul left, he sent someone to contact the British secretly.
As a cosmopolitan country, the Vienna government has a face, and even if it is to kill others, it is impossible to take action directly.
An outrageous charge is indispensable, and the anti-Austrians headed by William are not without strength. Even if they have high-level government agencies in Austria, they need time to collect evidence.
This has created opportunities for anti-Austrians. In the face of the crisis of life and death, people are often the ones with the best potential.
Fickney watched the internal fighting between Transvaal and the Orange Free State with cold eyes. He wouldn't care if the anti-Austrians would take risks.
As the earliest colonist in Austria, Viscount Fickney was not afraid of war. Even if the anti-Austrians and the British were linked together to overthrow the rule of Transvaal and the Orange Free State, he was fearless.
The African continent is not very peaceful these years, and Fickney's representation in Austria is not unprepared.
Recently, a large number of Austrian caravans have entered Transvaal and the Orange Free State, but not all come to do business.
If you are paying attention, you will find that all the members of the caravan are aggressive and the escorted goods are not ordinary goods. Some sealed boxes are a cannon.
Some of these people are troops stationed in Austrian Central and South Africa, and more of them are private aristocrats. Owner of mines like Viscount Fickney, if you do n’t have a few hundred private troops, would you like to go out and meet people?
Everyone is well-informed, and nobles who are far away are beyond reach, but the nobles nearby are not the same. How can such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity be brought to life?
If it is resolved peacefully, it will be an armed exercise. In case the situation gets out of control and needs to be resolved by force, it is military power delivered to the door.
Many people are expecting the British to come over and give them a record. This is not their arrogance, but really strength.
Most of the African colonies in Austria were fought by these noble private forces. In the African jungle, the combat effectiveness of these troops is definitely the best in this era.
If the government forces were to rely solely on Austrian troops, there would be no way to control less than half of the African continent.
With the vast and sparsely populated African continent, Austria has no way to set up administrative institutions everywhere. Balancing aristocracy is the cheapest way to rule.
Anyway, as long as the big nobles are suppressed, such small and medium nobles who have hundreds of private troops do not need to be afraid.
In addition to these troops, there are also a large number of German immigrants there. Once the war breaks out, nobles can recruit young people on the spot.
With thousands of veterans as the backbone and a group of young people, a tens of thousands of troops can be quickly organized. Whoever hits who then will not necessarily.
Franz's abandonment of the plan to occupy British South Africa does not mean that the colonial nobles also gave up. Many people in Cape Town are salivating.
