Chapter 683: Meat in the pot (2/2)
In any case, as long as these ”armed immigrants” get the residence registration in Panama, it is a contradiction between the people in Panama and the Colombian government.
Of course, everything has its advantages and disadvantages, and the folk colonial team also needs to return. By relying on their lives now, the interests of the Panama region will be divided into a large portion of them.
Similar things have happened many times in the Austrian colonization process, and the colonial ministry already has rich experience.
It was by virtue of large and small civilian armed groups that Austria was able to build a large colonial empire in just over two decades.
In this regard, Franz is still very generous. Letting ambitionists go overseas to grab land is better than staying at home to grab land. The colonial nobles of all sizes are outstanding.
The actual situation is better than Franz expected. Although there were many nobles in the fiefdom, there were no kings and hegemonies, and no one was independent.
This is enough. You should know that in the expectation, he is ready to allow the princes to grow up and allow them to establish a state of thought.
Facts have proved that he has thought too much. The pedigree theory is popular in Europe. There is no saying that ”the princes will have relatives.” Even if you want to be a king or emperor, you must first see whether the people support it.
The expansion of the nobles was not as powerful as he imagined. After getting the land closed, one by one opened the road of farming, and did not open the territory and expand the country to become king.
Of course, no money and no one is the most important factor restricting ambitions.
Expansion of the territory was expensive, and the colony needed a large amount of capital in the early stage of operation. No matter how thick the family was, it would not be able to withstand the war. The money in the pocket was exhausted.
Not to mention no one, no matter how big the nobles can mobilize, the number of immigrants is limited. At most, there are only ten or two hundred thousand. With such a small population, the farmland is not honest, and it is completely tired to dominate the king and hegemony.
The fool may exist, but the noble who can lay a foundation is definitely not a fool. Insufficient strength, what do you say to the central government?
”The Panama issue will be carried out according to your plan. Except for the fact that active soldiers cannot appear on the battlefield and the bottom line is to be observed, other colonial ministries will arrange according to actual conditions.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs negotiates with the Colombian government as soon as possible to reach an early compensation agreement, and then transfers the captives to the local Panamanian government. The remaining issues will let them and the independent organization slowly make trouble! ”
The bottom line must be observed, this is the game rule. Not only does it take into account international influences, it is more important to protect its own interests.
The current international political game rules were established by the British, French and Austrian countries. The purpose of the establishment is to protect the interests of the three countries and blindly overturn the chessboard. Austria ’s losses will only be greater.
In addition, the maintenance costs of the colonies alone will increase significantly, and some remote colonies will even change hands.
The choice to deal with it as soon as possible is actually to calm down the public opinion storm. The current public opinion is very bad for the Vienna government, and it will only be worse if it continues.
The ”compensation” payment was made only to allow the Colombian government to acknowledge that it was a ”misunderstanding.” The parties all said that it was a misunderstanding, and the others were crooked, that is, they were framed.
Franz is also very experienced in guiding public opinion. In this era of constant communication, newspapers are in charge of public opinion. It is too easy to reverse black and white.
To a certain extent, the British offended the public opinion offensive at this time, but it was actually a **** ’s assist, as long as the problem was directed to the London government.
”The British government planted Austria and framed Austria, deliberately exaggerating and distorting the truth,” Franz himself was about to believe, let alone ordinary people?
Foreign Minister Weissenberg: ”His Majesty, if the British do not intervene, it is not difficult to convince the Colombian government.
However, judging from the current situation, the London government wants to take the opportunity to make a fuss and crack down on our international reputation.
I am afraid that the Colombian government will propose a sky-high compensation, which deliberately embarrasses us. ”
This kind of worry is not superfluous. People are always easy to get lost in front of interests. As long as the British people flicker, it is almost inevitable that the Colombian government proposes ”astronomical compensation”.
If you agree, Austria will become the head of injustice. If you don't agree, the public opinion will not pass. It is not in line with the strategy of calming down disputes as soon as possible and quietly swallowing the Panama region.
After a little thought, Franz sneered: ”If the total amount is not reached, we will take the initiative to offer a sky-high price. For example, the pension for each soldier killed will be increased to 1,000 Aegis, but the Colombian government will provide a death certificate. .
As for the loss of property, we don't have to worry too much about it, we can make appropriate concessions. Whether or not this money will be given, and who will be given in the end, is still unclear. ”
”Death certificate” This is a joke. The Panama area is in the hands of the Austrian army. It is not easy to destroy the body.
The Colombian government can't produce evidence, and the number of people who need to pay pensions is the Vienna government.
The total number goes down, the higher the standard of payment, the actual situation is the same.
Since the incident was characterized as a ”misunderstanding”, if there were too many people killed, it would not be convincing.
In contrast, compensation for property damage is easy to negotiate. This money can be paid to the Colombian government, as well as to the local Panamanian government, or the Panamanian government after independence.
The Panama region wants independence, and the Colombian government will certainly not agree. War is inevitable.
After the war, the local area will be abolished, and it will inevitably require a lot of funds for reconstruction. This money is expected to be out of reach of the Panamanian government, and it will eventually be contributed by the Austrian government.
Anyway, this money is going to be paid, and Franz doesn't mind taking out the reputation in advance. After the future annexation of Panama, these investments will be recovered.
Of course, the Colombian government also needs to appease it. Some money must be paid in the early stage, otherwise people will not cooperate.
