Chapter 641： Disrupt (2/2)

If we start because there may be a threat, then there is a threat from the Popo Federation, Russia, and Britain. Do we still have to fight against the world? ”

The Minister of Economic Affairs Reinhard Haldergen countered: ”It's different. The British are sea powers. Although they threaten us, they are not fatal.

The Pope Federation and the Russian Empire are hostile to each other and have consumed most of their energy. We just have to play a balance among them.

The only exception is France, which is a right-of-way country like us, and its military strength is very close. Our main advantage is economic.

If the French make up this shortcoming, the French government will likely embark on the road of external expansion again. We can't watch Napoleon's old thing repeat itself! ”

Colonial Minister Stephen: ”It's not that serious. Colonial development is not an overnight problem. It requires decades of continuous investment.

Judging from the current situation, the French people are not enthusiastic about the development of colonies, and only the funds that the French government can invest in colonial development are limited.

Everyone knows what a French colony looks like. They are basically deserts and wastelands, and there are not many areas suitable for human habitation.

The colonies of French America and Asia are too far away and the area is not large enough to be ignored for the time being. French people should not care about it in the short term.

Those with real development potential are, in fact, French Algeria, Egypt, half Tunisia, and half Morocco. These areas are also suitable for some coastal land.

According to the information we have collected, these areas are relatively scarce in mineral resources. Many rich minerals have been found, and most of them are difficult to develop because of natural conditions.

Areas suitable for agricultural production will not exceed 400,000 square kilometers. Even if the plantation economy is developed, it is unknown whether it will succeed under external competition. ”

(Note the fertile soil areas suitable for agricultural production in the above countries: 210,000 square kilometers in Algeria, 220,000 square kilometers in Morocco, 70,000 square kilometers in Tunisia, and 35,000 square kilometers in Egypt)

The Desert Empire is such a tragedy. The French occupy less than 30% of the African continent, and they occupy three-quarters of the desert in the African continent.

In addition to its relatively large area, the third colonial empire in the world does not necessarily have the same benefits as the Dutch, at least the Nanyang region is sufficiently wealthy.

Prime Minister Felix: ”You can't underestimate the French, their heritage is still very solid. If the French government is determined, they will have the financial resources to complete the colonial development plan.

Regardless of the development of all colonies, as long as Algeria, Morocco, and Egypt are developed, the overall national strength of the French can increase by 20-30%.

This is also a threat to us. But this is a future issue, and it is too early to talk about these.

It is too extreme to directly destroy the French colonial development plan. Things have not yet reached that point, and the French have outweighed the gains in advance.

Now secretly creating some trouble for them, it is enough to delay their colonial development plan. The longer the time drags on, the better it is for us. ”

Destruction is inevitable. Britain, France and Austria are allies and competitors. If you can suppress one of them, everyone will not mind the underworld.

Franz nodded in agreement, even if he had to turn his face.

French talents have announced a plan that has not yet been implemented, and they can wait until they are halfway through.

The destruction in the early stage is just like what the French government did during the colonial development in Austria.

It was just that the French were also busy expanding their colonies. They had limited strength on the African continent and could not invest much resources.

Later, after a large number of immigrants flooded into the African continent, Austria's strength on the African continent increased sharply. Everyone wanted to destroy it, but they couldn't.

Foreign Minister Weissenberg proposed: ”The Paris conference is about to end. At that time, everyone's sphere of influence is delimited. If we want to take action, we must consider the positions of countries.

At present, our core is to strive for sufficient development time. If you want to delay the French colonization plan, it is best to start economically and avoid direct military conflict. ”
