Chapter 343: Uneasy brother

Originally, Franz had only opened up a colony to cover military preparations to interfere in the American civil war. As a result, the American civil war did not interfere, and a new round of colonial expansion in Austria broke out.
The first is the African continent. Don't look at the three infantry divisions. They don't seem to have enough troops, but if they invest in overseas colonization, they can sweep a dozen indigenous tribes.
When you open the map, you know that the colonies from West Africa to the Congo have been linked.
The Austrian colonial forces in the south have pushed their sphere of influence along the river to Zambia; the east penetrated into Uganda and Kenya.
In the Middle East, Austria uses the Sinai Peninsula as a springboard and has penetrated the tentacles into the Arabian Peninsula. Several tribes have fled to sign land purchase treaties. Austrian colonial strongholds have appeared in the Persian Gulf region.
As soon as the Suez Canal opens, these areas will fall into the hands of Austria.
In Central America, Austria is dominated by infiltration, and did not play the war of annihilation as soon as it came up. Relocating a flurry of immigrants from the United States will not work for countries that don't want to be controlled by Austria.
In Nicaragua, for example, the number of Germans occupied four levels among whites, becoming the largest local population. There are also Austrian troops stationed there, and the government does not want to be pro-Austrian.
A new Lanfang Autonomous Province was added to the new Holy Roman Empire. Franz didn't mind adding a few more. Peace was also a good way to expand.
Of course, this is only effective for such a sparsely populated place in Central America. After all, the number of white people there is only a few hundred thousand, and it is divided into five or six countries.
Even if it is not included in the empire system, it can become a pro-Austrian country. Far from the hard-to-rule regions of the country, direct annexation is not necessarily a good thing, and loose alliances are not unacceptable.
In the Southern Ocean, Franz didn't know how many islands the Austrian colonial government occupied. It was a four-digit number anyway, and the multi-island nation was really not built.
Nanyang's expansion has stopped, and now watch the performances of Prussia and the Federal Republic of Germany.
The German Federation's unscrupulous horse racing enclaves in Malaysia seem to have smoothed the London government.
The Kingdom of Prussia chose to die for the Indochina Peninsula for a very simple reason: The Indochina Peninsula is fertile enough and there is plenty of room for expansion.
Although Sumatra is also good, it is still too small compared to the Indochina Peninsula, and the Dutch have occupied a lot of territory.
In the European continent, Prussia can hang the Dutch. In the Nanyang region, this situation is reversed. The newborn Prussian navy has no confidence.
Opening the map of the world and looking at it carefully, Franz was surprised to find that the world was going to be divided up.
This is not a good thing, it means that conflicts between nations will happen from time to time. Emerging empires in particular are bound to challenge the world order to gain living space.
Following Franz's dismissal of this idea, in the current situation, it is too difficult for the European continent to have a new empire.
Russia, France, Austria and the three countries are juxtaposed and cannot tolerate the rise of the fourth pole. Spain at the second level is still deeply trapped in internal conflicts. Moreover, they are old empires and still have a lot of legacy.
Not to mention Prussia, in order to solve industrial raw materials and markets, they were forced to go overseas colonization. Establish the German Empire, unless someone opens them.
Another potential stock of the Kingdom of Sardinia, this time before he died, he died. Not to mention the unification of the Italian region, they have become the nutrition of the French themselves.

Franz is bringing children, and to this day he is the father of three children.
Although he was only seven years old, as the crown prince, Frederick had no chance to become a rice bug. There is endless homework and knowledge to learn every day.
It seemed to have been hit. Dejected Frederick approached Franz and asked, "Father, why would I want to go to school and you don't need to?"
Franz explained patiently: "It's very simple, because I have already completed these lessons, so I don't need to read them now.
Your brothers are too young to read William's words, how can you learn? When they get older, they will go to school with you. "
Frederick reported: "But I have too much homework. I have been outside and many children only have three homework."
Yes, Austrian compulsory education has only three subjects: German, mathematics, history, and other subjects are electives.
German and history are added, German includes patriotic education. History is naturally a German version, which proves from the source that all Austrian ethnic groups are Germanic branches.
Believe it or not, nobles believe it anyway. Most of their ancestors came from the German region, and then they represented the Austrian peoples.
History is untestable, and the cultural world is still arguing. Franz did not intervene, anyway, as long as assimilating and educating two generations, it is impossible to repeat it later.
If it proves that the textbook is wrong, it doesn't matter. Time passes too long, and the data passed down can be understood.
The government does not confirm, nor does it deny, that professional issues will let historians quarrel slowly, all in all academic issues.
Discuss behind closed doors, and people don't care about it anyway. It is impossible to revise the textbook without forming a unified answer.
Franz explained: "That's just the basic education provided by the country, and those who have the conditions must learn more homework.
The world is cruel, Frederick. How much knowledge you learn also means your status in society.
As the crown prince of the empire, you are born at the top of the world. You must be the best, and you naturally have more to learn. This is what you must have, and that's how I came. "
Happy education? Born in the royal family, he was born insulated from happiness.
Cultivate interest development? Still no dreaming, as the emperor occupation is the emperor, there is no need to consider employment.
This is one of the most enviable and embarrassing professions.
As long as the emperor is trained in strict accordance with the process, perhaps no genius can be produced, nor will it cultivate silly white sweet.
Franz does not need a genius heir, because geniuses usually have quirks and are not suitable for the emperor profession.
As the heir to the empire, as long as he can maintain the operation of the empire step by step, he has a certain basic knowledge and will not be fooled by others.
As for governing the country, isn't there a cabinet?
The fault tolerance rate of a large empire is very high. Only the emperor does not toss, and cabinet officials who climb up step by step from below will have no better ability to govern the country, and it will not make people angry.
Besides, the cabinet can also be replaced if it does not work. As the emperor, just throw the guy who messed up with them at the critical moment.
In short, if the emperor does not intervene, things will not be worse. At the same time, he put a tight curse on the bureaucrats, and occasionally caught a few unscrupulous officials to kill a hundred, and that was a good emperor.
Looking at the depressed Frederick, Franz just smiled slightly and said nothing.
A maid hurriedly said, "Her Majesty, the queen mother invites you over."
The newcomer Franz also knew that she was the most favored maid next to Queen Sophie.
"Elena, what happened, are you so anxious?"
Elena ran a little rushed and was out of breath. She said rudely, "The Archduke Massimilino prepared to go to Mexico to become emperor, but was opposed by the empress queen, and there was a fierce quarrel. Please come and see ! "
Franz had a headache for a moment, and he had a headache for this uneasy brother.
Franz had already given him the Mexican information in order to make him embarrassed, but did not expect that he still made the same choice in history.
Needless to say, as a good brother, Franz arrived at the scene as quickly as possible.
In the distance I heard the roar of the Empress Sophie, apparently she was not angry with Massimilino. As a member of the royal family, the most basic international common sense, Queen Mother Sophie, is still known. Judging by her amateur political eyes, this is a huge pit.
Seeing Franz coming in, Empress Sophie stopped roaring and eased her emotions and said, "Franz, spread the word about Mexico to your baby brother. This idiot wants to go to Mexico to become emperor."
Franz comforted: "Good mother, this idiot is given to me, and you should calm down first."
Looking at the downcast Massimilino, Franz knew he was very unconvinced. The smooth sailing Massimilino also naturally has a sense of pride, such as wanting to challenge the copy of Hell now.
"Missimiliano, who made emperor Mexico? Don't tell me, you don't even have supporters." Franz asked
Massimilino responded: "Mexican constitutionalists and Napoleon III promised to support my succession."
Obviously, Massimilino is not really stupid. In theory, with the support of France and Austria, plus the strength of the Mexican constitutionalists, it is not difficult for him to secure the throne.
Franz asked sternly: "If you want to wear a crown, bear it first! Massimilino, why do you think you can secure the Mexican throne? Come up with your policy guidelines and convince me to prove your ability.
The Habsburg dynasty would not help an ignorant fool to the throne, otherwise this fool would be on a guillotine one day, and we could not afford to lose that person. "
Massimilino, who was stimulated, immediately responded, "You wait, I will prove it to you!"
Franz did not continue to be ironic, the pit had been dug. There has never been a perfect governance plan in the world. No matter what kind of plan Massimilino offers, Franz can pick out thorns.
If even an idealist can't fool around, why can Franz achieve Austria's renaissance?
