Chapter 1060： Mentor Franz (1/2)
Buy it or not?
This is not a multiple choice question at all.
From the standpoint of the Vienna government, the Moroccan region must be won. It is nothing more than a matter of time.
The Air Force’s ”Terminator Program”, although somewhat idealistic, is not entirely without merit.
It is unrealistic to attack the nest of the Royal Navy, but it is still possible to use Morocco as a giant aircraft carrier, deploy hundreds of bombers on it, and lock the west gate.
For the Holy Roman Empire, the greatest value of winning Morocco is the strategic initiative.
With both the east and west gates in the hands of the Mediterranean Sea, the Shenluo Navy can take the initiative to attack, and there is no need to stay in the nest every day.
In recent years, the Vienna government has been very restful and rarely involved in regional conflicts. It is not that it is not incapable of doing things. The main reason is insufficient mobility.
Most of the main force of the Royal Navy stayed in the home fleet just to watch the Shinra Navy. In order to ensure control of the Mediterranean, the Vienna government can only leave the battleship squatting in the nest.
There is no way, the British navy is too powerful. Shinra can only get the upper hand in the Mediterranean if the navy and air force cooperate.
If the main force were to go out, the British would be ruthless and directly attack from behind to blow up the Suez Canal and block the Shinra Navy outside.
When it comes to the struggle for hegemony, everything is always done. No one can guarantee that there will be no ruthless people in Britain.
It's not the same after taking the Moroccan region, the west gate is locked. No matter how the outside world changes, Shenluo can guarantee control of the Mediterranean.
Even if the war broke out, the British would at most send a few submarines in to make things happen. As for surface ships, it is estimated that passing through the strait is almost abolished.
If the aircraft does not sink the warship, it is only a short-term raid that is difficult to achieve. If it keeps blowing up behind the ass, the most powerful warship will have to go into the sea to feed the fish.
As long as the Mediterranean is still in its hands, the Vienna government can mobilize resources from Asia, Europe and Africa in the shortest time possible by sea.
...
It was another sunny day, and Franz, who had nothing to do, showed up by the artificial lake in the Vienna Palace with a bunch of grandsons.
For some reason, every wealthy emperor likes to build palaces, and Franz is no exception.
The giant artificial lake in front of you is one of Franz's masterpieces. After several expansions, the Schönbrunn Palace and Hofburg Palace in the evening have become one piece, forming the current Vienna Palace.
If you simply calculate the area, the Vienna Palace is definitely the largest palace in the world.
If Franz wants, he can drag racing in his own home. If placed in the Eastern world, the emperor would build palaces so extensively, the civil officials would definitely be sprayed with blood.
But in the Holy Roman Empire, this is not a big deal at all. As a great empire with a territory of nearly 40 million square kilometers, everything may be lacking, but there will be no shortage of land.
Vienna was originally under the direct control of the emperor. Most of the land was private property of the imperial family. The emperor had to add a wall on his own land, and no one could control it.
Yes, the so-called expansion is the addition of a wall. The patrol range of the Royal Guard has been increased, but the building has not increased much.
The original farms and manors still exist, and only the factories are relocated.
The seasonal vegetables inside the palace are provided by these farms. All are pure natural products, absolutely free of any fertilizer and pesticide additives.
It is mainly for convenience, otherwise the two palaces run around, although it does not hurt much money, but it is really laborious.
No way, who made Franz afraid of death?
The guards must monitor a radius of two kilometers every time they travel, and they will never leave any chance to the enemy. The battles are no less dynamic than the marching battles.
For everyone's convenience, the two places are simply connected, so as to save the surrounding residents from running back and forth.
Anyway, the emperor is rich now, can afford enough royal guards, and the palace can be monitored no matter how big it is.
Regardless of private property, light annuity is enough for Franz to squander.
To know that when the constitution was established, seeing the financial difficulties of the Vienna government, Franz took the initiative to make sacrifices, proposed to share the joys and sorrows with the people, and set a royal annuity at 1.5% of fiscal revenue.
It was really a ”sacrifice”, the Vienna government at that time was really poor. The royal annuity withdrawn cannot even be supported by the palace guard.
In the first few years, Franz paid no less. At that time, the media also made publicity, which really moved many people.
It's just that no one can think that the country will develop so fast. In just over forty years, from an Austria of less than 700,000 square kilometers, it snowballed into the current Holy Roman Empire.
The country is growing, and the economy is booming. The fiscal revenue of the Vienna government is naturally rising, and it has actually expanded dozens of times.
Needless to say, listed companies still have equity incentives. As the hero of the country's development, the emperor will naturally benefit from it.
Today, a political show of that year has become a good story and has spread all over the world.
As far as Franz knows, many aspiring kings have followed suit. The end result is that these followers have developed the good habit of diligence and thrift.
There is no way. The challenges a country has to face in order to develop these years are really too many.
Although Austria was in decline that year, it was the fourth largest power in the world at any rate, and it still had the strength to support the scene.
Not only does not need to worry about the threat of foreign enemies, but it can also promote social reform while playing colonial expansion to shift domestic conflicts.
Without this family background, I also jumped out to follow the trend, but what do you want to do?
We must know that industrialization is very cost-intensive. There is no income from foreign colonization and plundering, and only relying on farming to accumulate wealth, the development speed is absolutely moving.
Franz, hailed as a model of the monarch, can only silently express his spiritual support to his colleagues who were accidentally pitted.
To put it simply, it is to ask the attendants to write to these juniors to encourage them, and to instill chicken soup for the soul.
In short, the road ahead is tortuous, and the future is bright. As long as you keep doing it, one day you will be able to achieve success.
In line with the principle of flicking one by one, Franz's reputation in the monarchy circle is a slap in the face, and he has a large number of believers.
As for the final outcome, this is beyond the control of Franz.
As a qualified spiritual mentor, Franz is very aware of the principle of ”doing more wrongly, not doing good”.
