Milan City, the rising textile tycoon of Treos. The Oslo War of 1848 directly caused a major shuffle in the capital world of Lombardy. Treos stood out from this gap.
The pursuit of goals is not the same when there is money. Treos is also aristocratic, but it has fallen in the generation of his grandfather.
At this time, Treos was considering whether to make a knighthood and restore the glory of his ancestors.
Obtaining a title in Austria is not easy. Of course, as a rich "Aegis" player, it still has an advantage over civilian players.
The colonial system created opportunities for them. As long as they were willing to spend money and recruit a large number of mercenaries to open up colonies in the African continent to redeem their merits, they would sooner or later win a knighthood.
This is not the easiest way, but it is the one most suitable for Treos. It is easier to get a title on the battlefield, but this has never been the choice of capitalists.
The nobility has a higher social status, but in the business field, the nobility has no special advantages, and many privileges have shrunk.
Teros has always weighed the pros and cons. Gaining merit through overseas colonization also depends on luck. Input and output are often not proportional.
In this regard, nobles have even more advantages. They have cultivated military command capabilities since childhood. Some nobles, as well as family members and private troops left over from their ancestors, naturally set up colonial teams with more combat effectiveness.
Being able to fight the colonial team will basically not lose money. Even if no resources are found, they will grab all the way and cooperate with the labor export company to help African tribal immigrants.
As long as the colonial team does not lose money, it can continue to operate for a long time, and the merits of time will naturally accumulate.
This is incomparable to capitalists. Their advantage is that they have money. There are people who have money. The officers and men who have retired these years are all in demand. Most capitalists recruit them to form colonial teams. The combat effectiveness is not too bad.
Unfortunately, not everyone is willing to go to the African continent. With the increase of colonial teams, retired officers and soldiers who are willing to go to the colony are not enough, and the cost of salaries is increasing.
As a latecomer, the recruitment standards had to be lowered, and the combat effectiveness of the colonial team was inevitably reduced.
Without strong fighting power, it does not mean that colonization on the African continent is impossible. How the combat effectiveness is rubbish, it is still not a problem to deal with some indigenous tribes, but the number of casualties is high.
If you are unlucky, you can spit people out with a single pension. At present, the pension standards issued by the Austrian colonial team are basically 500-1800 Aegis, and they cannot afford to lose them at all.
The appearance of Stephen made Treos's eyes bright. Everyone was joking that Stephen recruited non-competitive Italian mercenaries, but Treos saw another side-cheap.
As a qualified capitalist, Treos has the advantage of always saving costs.
The price of recruiting an ordinary German mercenary can recruit two Italian mercenaries; the price of an elite mercenary is enough to recruit five Italian mercenaries.
In addition to low artificial salaries, casualty benefits can also be reduced to less than 300 SHIELD. If recruited from Italian states, pensions could be lost in case of heavy losses.
As long as you are careful not to take in greed, Italian mercenaries with a lower combat effectiveness can also sweep indigenous tribes. After all, the cost is low, more people can be recruited, and there are advantages when doing labor export business.
Just as Treos was determined to work with Stephen, a letter interrupted all his illusions.
Not everyone was thinking about revolution and independence, and Treos did not want to change the status quo, although he was also affected by Italian nationalism.
Donate a little money during the normal period and keep the traditional Italian culture. It is impossible for him to go to the battlefield in person.
He would not even do anything to fund the Revolutionary Party. Tereos was very savvy, and he was destined to not buy and sell, he never did.
All nationalist political ideas are often different, especially in front of interests, which often determines ideas.
As a textile tycoon, on the face of leaving Austria, Treos can reduce many competitors and even dominate the Italian market.
In fact, after leaving Austria, the raw materials could kill him.
Importing from overseas is easier said than done. If there is a complete reliance on imports, once the international cotton market is turbulent, his life will be killed immediately.
Britain can become the hegemony of the cotton spinning industry, not only because of the strong textile industry, but also with a powerful Royal Navy as its backing and a vast colony as the market, which can protect its own interests.
After independence, Italy was unable to protect his interests. Tereos was only dissatisfied with the policies of the Vienna government, abolishing the current national integration policy and labor protection law.
This and rebellion are totally two concepts. There are many people who are dissatisfied with national policies. After all, no one policy can satisfy everyone.
Wouldn't it be chaos if it rebelled against a government policy? Who can change it, and it will not satisfy everyone?
Thinking of the large number of mercenaries in the hands of Stephen and others, Treos changed his face and immediately shouted: "Martin immediately prepares the car, I am going to the city government."
Regardless of whether the revolution can succeed or not, as long as the war is fought, business will not be done. In case of bad luck, it may not be impossible for chaotic soldiers to go bankrupt.
As the winner of the last shuffle, Treos didn't want to do it again. He is a capitalist but also an industrialist, not a businessman who buys low and sells high. The factory where the flames of fire can't hide from it.
...
Several members of the Hungarian independent organization, Pecs, in the western Hungarian province, are uneasily following the contact list to deliver letters.
For the sake of safety, everyone has his own magic. Those with hidden soles and those sewn inside the clothes were simply replaced with digital codes, using the Bible as a carrier.
In the case of betrayals, these are futile. Compared to Austrian Italy, Hungary was cleaned more thoroughly, and it was all smart people who could escape it.
The delivery of Domici was tragedy, and it happened to hit the host, and was kept.
After reading the letter, Brooks greeted Mr. Stephen's family. In the early years, the two were like-minded friends, and everyone worked together for Hungary's independence.
But now, unlike in the past, Brooks, who is in his mid-years, is no longer the simple idealist.
I was able to escape the disaster at first, because of good luck, I just fell ill and did not have time to participate in the rebellion.
After the illness, the rebellion had already taken place, and the revolutionary Brooks was still loyal to the emperor and placed under house arrest.
Thanks to his father's spontaneous participation in the suppression of the insurgency and his military achievements, his suspicion was ruled out.
Time is the best weapon. In the blink of an eye, his father died, and Brooks, who had lost his restraint, once again mingled with the surviving nationalists.
At this time, everyone no longer shouted the slogan of independence every day, but opposed the ethnic division and unified language of the Vienna government.
Violent resistance is impossible, hard bones met God back in the independence movement. Brooks is not stupid, he knows the consequences of confronting the government.
Because of personal friends, Brooks and some members of the Hungarian Independent Organization still maintain a secret connection, but this does not include Stephen.
No way, who made Stephen a political prisoner in exile? The Hungarian independent organization has a lot of people, and how many things have been done, most of the members are actually not wanted.
Brooks is a smart person. Anyway, these people are exiled overseas and are not wanted. Even if they are exposed, they can pretend they don't know.
Friends have more ways to go, just like this time the Hungarian independent organization is going to do things, some friends have hinted that he should stay away.
Seeing this letter, Brooks was very suspicious that someone was going to engage him. There is too much content in the letter, even the time of the uprising.
Under normal circumstances, such a person who has not joined the Hungarian independent organization at all is unlikely to gain trust. Aren't you afraid of him reporting?
Brooks asked tentatively: "Mr. Domicil, why did we revolt on February 15th, and we were not prepared at all?"
Domicil didn't think that much, so he didn't need to keep it secret.
"Sir Brooks, a new wave of revolution in Europe has arrived. This time we joined forces with other revolutionary groups to launch an uprising in January and February.
Because of insufficient preparation, we delayed the uprising date to February 15. But don't worry, the first uprising was in Italy.
At present, we have recruited thousands of mercenaries, and with the cooperation of local revolutionary groups, this uprising will definitely succeed! "
After hearing Domicil's words, Brooks' doubts were halted. It seems that he is really a member of the Hungarian Independent Organization, and this sacred expression is the same as when he was young.
Brooks continued to ask, "My old friend, what do they say?"
Since it was implied that he was hiding away, under normal circumstances these friends did not make sense to drag him into the water again, this letter is obviously not simple.
Domicil thought for a while and said, "Mr. Paul said when he meets you, take him to say hello. And let you keep the ham from the moon and wait for him to eat.
Mr. Soram, is it okay to ask your old place? He missed the Revolution very much, but unfortunately he failed last time, and this time he won't. "
These seemingly incomprehensible words, Domici did not feel anything, just as an old friend tells the old.
But it was different in Brooks' ears. "Ham" was the secret sign for the retreat that year, no doubt it was telling him to run.
The "Revolutionary Period" was not a good memory for them. As every comrade in arms fell, countless like-minded friends were liquidated.
Figuring out the situation, the cold sweat on Brooks' forehead came out.
Others don't know that the Hungarian Independent Organization has accepted American funding. Brooks is very clear, and their friends have not complained about Americans' fingertips.
Think of the American Civil War now, Brooks immediately wanted to understand a lot of things.
This uprising must not be able to participate, either to pack things up and run immediately, and then return when things have passed, or to report immediately and take yourself out.
Domicil asked in wonder: "Sir Brooks, what's wrong with you?"
Looking at Domici with a simple look, Brooks felt a little unbearable, hesitated and said, "I'm fine. The situation in Hungary is very complicated. Domicil, you should complete the task and leave as soon as possible.
Domicil was startled, and asked in amazement, "Why?"
Brooks shook his head and said, "The police in the Page area have a good nose, and the contact list is on you. In the event of an accident, the organization's business results here will be over.
Domicil said firmly, "Relax, Mr. Brooks. I didn't bring the list with me, and even if there was an accident, the enemy wouldn't gain anything."
Brooks did not continue to persuade him, although he did not know the purpose of the Hungarian independent organization this time, but he was very clear that these people sent were abandoned.
Persuasion was just that Brooks was worried that Domici's arrest would confess his ties to the Hungarian independent organization.
But after thinking about it, Brooks wondered that even if Domicil escaped, these things could not be kept secret.
In normal times, this kind of connection between friends is nothing, and his sin cannot be condemned. But when the big change happened, then it was different.
There are only two roads left for Brooks, either to run away in exile; or to report to the government, past things can be written off.
After hesitating for a while, Brooks decided to be a traitor, after all, this time the thing was too weird and the fog was inside.
"Domicil, I'm not doubting your loyalty, it's just the vigilance we should have and not be able to make unnecessary sacrifice.
If you are willing to help, you can send me a few letters. Now is the crucial moment, I am not suitable to meet them, let my people go to see me without worry. "
There is no doubt that Brooks is ready to kill with a knife.
There are always a few enemies out there, and Brooks is no exception. Take the opportunity to drag them in, kick off some of the obstacles, he didn't have any pressure.
