The fighting power that a powerful government can burst out is often beyond imagination. With the orders of Franz, the trade volume of Austrian African colonies and the Americas suddenly became active.
A large number of labor export companies settled in the Austrian colonies, exporting local surplus labor to the Americas and the Arab world.
Thanks to everyone's joint efforts, the dilemma of lack of labor in various countries has significantly improved. Under the new labor export model, international slave prices have fallen.
Labor export companies are actually forced out. It is said that there are policies and countermeasures.
The Vienna government banned the slave trade, and in order to bypass the legal provisions, the flexible slave trader immediately changed a vest.
Appeared as a labor export company in the Austrian colony, and continued to carry out its business dignifiedly. After leaving the Austrian colony anyway, they followed their own waves.
In the end, these immigrants became slaves or outsourced workers, depending on which country they went to.
These things are not considered by the colonial government bureaucrats. Anyway, they have a huge task. To reduce the three-tier indigenous population within five years, it will not work.
Especially as the colonies are still expanding, the pressure is even greater. The colonial ministry assigned tasks to each colonial government, and the ministry of finance also allocated special migrant funds of 2 million aegis each year.
All income from immigration work belongs to the individual. The officials with outstanding immigration business ability were promoted directly, and those who could not complete the task were all dismissed.
No one dares to take it lightly because it affects everyone's job. Moreover, there are still huge benefits in it, and how much you can get depends on your own capabilities.
From 1859, the Austrian colonies began to export immigrants frantically.
Take the United States as an example: in 1858, 183,000 immigrants from the Austrian colonies were accepted; in 1859, it soared to 346,000; in 1860 it increased to 378,000 ...
The direct consequence of this policy was that when the American Civil War broke out, the number of white people in the country decreased by more than 500,000 than in history, while the number of black people increased by more than one million.
Interest is always the best catalyst. Obtaining slaves from colonies in other countries is subject to heavy taxes, and even bribes to officials in the colonies to export labor in the Austrian colonies, but can receive subsidies.
The colonial army also frequently attacked the indigenous kingdom.
In late 1859, Josip Jelacic also promulgated the infamous Relocation Act.
The law stipulates that immigrants, the army, and government officials are attacked by locals, and all indigenous tribes within a radius of 50 kilometers will be forcibly relocated.
This directly triggered a strong protest from labor export companies. How can a good labor force be expelled?
During the implementation of the colonial government, changes inevitably occurred. Anyway, they all relocate and leave, and it doesn't matter where they go in the end. The same applies to the labor export company.
There is nothing to say. No colonial government in this country is cleaner than anyone else. Without genocide, it's all harmonious.
...
With the support of the Russians, the Indian insurgent army once broke through two million and occupied most of India.
There is no doubt that this is a black crowd. Only the number of troops has gone up, the combat effectiveness has been a mess, the weapons and equipment are the junk that the Russians eliminated, and on average three people have one rifle.
After the insurgents had gained the upper hand, the British used their best provocations. Several insurgents, which belonged to each other, soon fell into internal power struggles, losing the best time to expel the British from India.
The response of the John Bull continued to increase troops to the Indian region, and the strategic advantage obtained by the insurgents in the early stage was wasted in vain.
The next step is to show the comprehensive national strength. By 1859, the British had invested 350,000 troops in India and gradually gained initiative on the battlefield.
Franz receiving the information can only lament the strength of John Bull. In the case of a labor division expedition, it was possible to invest so many troops.
There is no doubt that such a big deal can only be done by the British. Obviously, the actions of the Tsarist government have stimulated the fragile nerves of the London government.
The Russians were directly informed by actual actions. If you want to rob India, think about how many troops you can invest in this area!
Thinking of this, Franz just smiled coldly. I'm afraid the wrong calculation was made by the British this time.
Nicholas I was not a soft persimmon. Successor Tsar Alexander II was also not a fuel-saving lamp. I just wanted to scare them because I was dreaming.
Historically, because of the defeat in Crimea, the Russians licked wounds while supporting the Indian rebellion to a limited extent, so that the British quickly suppressed the rebellion.
The current tsarist government is also licking wounds, but Nicholas I, who captured Constantinople, is in the middle of the sky, suppressing internal contradictions.
Coupled with the financial support provided by Austria, the tsarist government's finances are not as tragic as it has been in history. It is still possible to provide a sum of money to support the insurgents.
Moreover, India is not poor at all. There are also many trophies in the hands of the insurgents, which can be used to buy weapons and ammunition.
If the Indians fight for a little bit, they still have a chance to win the war. Anyway, they are going to die, as long as enough cannon fodder and British people are organized.
In any case, with the support of the Tsarist government, Indians can still support it for a while.
Thinking of this, Franz was a bit contradictory again. On the one hand, he wanted to consume the strength of the British and shake the British hegemony; on the other hand, he did not want the British to decline, otherwise the main force of interference in the American Civil War would be gone.
Under this contradiction, the Vienna government adhered to the principle of neutrality and did not support either party.
With a sigh, Franz ignited the information in his hands in a candlelight, and then said, "At this point in India, it is enough to keep the daily information flowing.
The next task is the United States. If conditions permit, we can give them a little bit of chaos. We can be regarded as supporting the plantation owners in the south. "
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Tyron replied
This task is very troublesome. Before the transoceanic telegraph is connected, communication has become the biggest problem of information transmission.
When the ship passed the news from the Americas back to China, daylily was cold, and Franz could only choose to delegate power. Whether or not you can achieve results is entirely up to you.
In terms of short-term benefits, the capitalists who support the North may have greater benefits. They will win a significant decline in US cotton, tobacco, and grain exports.
As a competitor, Austria can reap huge economic benefits.
But in the long run, a unified United States is terrible. The country of God's Choice is not a nonsense, they do occupy the most fertile land in the world.
Even if the entire German region is unified, Austria cannot compare its development potential with theirs. This is inherently determined.
Even if there is no war in the European continent, it has been developing steadily, and it is only a matter of time before it is surpassed by the United States.
Unless Austria can swallow half of the African continent and digest it perfectly. Thinking of this, Franz felt that it was better to split the United States.
Even the United States, which is divided into two, still has the potential to become a world hegemon. There is no way. American natural conditions are simply too superior.
Even if the United States is divided, the strength of the North and the South will gradually increase over time. It is a dream to count on the North to check and balance the North government after independence.
Even how long this independence can be maintained is a serious issue. In terms of development potential, the capital economy in the north far exceeds the plantation economy in the south.
When the strength of the two sides is seriously imbalanced, as long as a strong leader appears in the north, the reunification war will still erupt again.
Franz wanted to cry when he thought about it, and co-intervention in the American Civil War was not just once, or it would become a bottomless pit.
At this time, Franz was somewhat aware of Napoleon III's approach in history. Perhaps it was because he saw that the pit was too scary, so he would choose a better bully Mexico.
The French abruptly withdrew, and Britain and Spain immediately became dissatisfied. Let's say everyone intervenes in the American Civil War together. If you run to attack Mexico, wouldn't you ignore the collective interests?
Without the main force of France, Britain and the West also retreated, and the three countries' interference in the coalition forces dissolved before they entered.
Then, the European countries waited to see the American Civil War. The London government wanted to intervene several times, because internal disputes were endless, and the war was over without waiting for their determination.
"Don't lose yourself in doing big things, but forget about righteousness."
It's Napoleon III. How can it be possible to take advantage without taking risks?
Knowing that there were pits ahead, this time Franz decided to jump. There is no way to do harm to both.
Whether the intervention is successful or not, it will bring greater losses to the United States and delay their development.
If you are lucky enough to make a lot of money, immigrant countries like the United States will not have strong centripetal force. The unification war cannot be fought indefinitely. After two or three defeats, the people will no longer have the courage to wage war.
