Chapter 604： colonial (2/2)

Franz didn't ask the location. Napoleon IV seemed to inherit the characteristics of Napoleon III's popularity, and he was particularly keen to convene international conferences after his succession.

The French are particularly generous in this regard. As long as France convenes an international conference, they will all cover the relevant costs.

Of course, this cost is limited to the daily expenses of the delegation in France, accommodation, and the cost of the conference.

It seems that the number of participants in international conferences is not large, and the expenses are not much. Over time, the expenses are not small.

The British Olympics are all about practical interests. Unless it is a special situation, they usually do not compete with the French for the meeting place. Everyone is not a star, and there is no lack of exposure.

Minister of Foreign Affairs Weissenberg: ”The specifications for this meeting are ministerial, and everyone needs to coordinate the schedule. The plan is February next year, which day has not yet been determined.”

Franz nodded, which involved the distribution of benefits and the establishment of a new international order, and the meeting specifications must be high.

If it's low, send a bunch of people who can't be the master, and you should ask the domestic delegations for everything, so what else to talk about?

It usually involves a long period of interest negotiations. The high-level government officials are just the opposite. They have much more power, they can decide many things themselves, and the efficiency of negotiations is much higher.

It is imperative to alleviate international contradictions. Every day it drags on, the colonial government will bear huge economic losses. Everyone is in a hurry.

”Is there any sign that Britain and France are moving closer? I mean, secretly.”

Before each international conference is held, everyone will show their magical powers, and try to attract allies to seek support in order to get more benefits at the international conference.

The interest of Austria this time is not big, and it is naturally impossible for the Vienna government to pay a large price for public relations, but it is necessary to stare at Britain and France.

Weissenberg shook his head: ”British and French have contacts, but they should not be able to reach an agreement. Now Britain and France have a greater conflict of interest in the colonies of the two countries.

If it were not for the lessons learned from the ”English-British War” we and the British had done, both countries would worry that the losses would be too great, and they would not have done it in the colonies now.

Especially in the Sudan region, the two sides are already in full swing. It is said that British and French also had conflicts of interest in the Indo-China Peninsula and the Far East Empire. It was too far away. We didn't pay much attention to it and we didn't know the specific reason.

There is also a private colonial company involved. I am afraid that both parties will not let go easily in the face of interests. Even if the two governments want to intervene, it is difficult to stop them. ”

Civil colonial company This is a unique product of the historical stage. The most famous nature is the British ”East India Company”. At its peak, the company's armed forces were comparable to a middle country.

In a way, the East India Company is more like a country than a business.

So this ”country” was swallowed up by bureaucrats. Because of bureaucracy and corruption, the company suffered heavy losses. The famous East India company was dissolved last year.

There are many such colonial companies, and they are pioneers of overseas colonial movements. Affected by governments, but not fully controlled by the government.

Most of those engaged in overseas colonial expansion were desperate to get rich. In the face of interest, the government's orders are often difficult to use.

Most of the conflicts erupting in the colonies of various countries were caused by civilian colonial teams. As long as there is interest, there is nothing they dare not do.

Not only to the outside world, even the competition of colonial companies in the same country is also fierce. If two colonial companies are found fighting, don't be nervous and don't be surprised. This is a good thing, proving that they have made a great discovery.

The severity of the rage is directly proportional to the interests. If an open-pit gold mine is discovered, internal fighting may occur within the colonial team.

On the contrary, the colonial government directly led by each country is more restrained, usually considering the international image, and thinking twice when doing things, and rarely recklessly.

Now the conflict between Britain and France around the colonial issue continues. In the final analysis, it is because of interests, first come first served, but they are encountered at the same time?

This is also the reason why France and Austria want to divide the sphere of influence in Africa. If you do not clearly distinguish in advance, the long border between the two colonies will know how many conflicts will occur.

No, it should be said that the desert saved the relationship between France and Austria. Because most of the border between the two colonies is desert.

The value of the desert area is low, and normal people will not risk crossing the desert to find excitement. They cannot face each other if there is a desert barrier, and the conflict is naturally small.
