Chapter 392: Continue digging

Schönbrunn Palace, Franz, who is in a good mood, has always been pleasing to anyone. The U.S. civil war has settled, which means that Austria will not have to worry about threats from the United States in the next 50 years.
Such a long time is enough for him to run the African continent. Although natural conditions are not as good as the country chosen by heaven, it also has the foundation of a great country.
Compared with this long-term plan, the European strategy has instead become a secondary strategy. Franz doesn't think he has a protagonist aura that can unify the European continent and rebuild the Roman Empire.
The Holy Roman Empire and the Roman Empire seemed to have just two more words, but they were actually very different.
Since the defeat of Emperor Napoleon, European nations have no longer thought of unifying the European continent, and even the iron czar government dare not think so.
Even if he could unify Europe, Franz would not do it. This is a tiankeng, enough to bury any empire. You can't bury yourself in a rush for fashion.
Africa is not the best choice, but Austria is the best choice. Franz wouldn't mind dying in South America if he could.
The reason is very simple. South America has a superior natural environment, rich resources, and low development difficulty.
On 17.84 million square kilometers of land, there are only more than 20 million people, most of whom are Indians.
If Spain can be revived, then South America is their godsend.
Most of the South American countries were independent from the Spanish colonies. Only for decades, the royalists did not disappear, and they could fight back.
Knowing to know, Franz had no intention of speaking out. The Spaniards were still busy fighting, and there was simply no time to consider so much. When the internal fighting was over, Spain did not return to South America.
What the Spanish cannot do is not the same as that of other countries.
It is self-evident that the British have too many colonies. If they want to operate with care, North America is the best choice.
During the Civil War, it was the best time for them to get started. Based on Canada, seize the West Coast of the United States.
There is no doubt that the arrogant Englishman is still in the Victorian glory. In addition to worrying about the European balance being broken, there is no decent strategy.
It was the French who frightened Franz. Napoleon III France was not the old-fashioned republic.
Perhaps many people think that the flicker of France to South America is conducive to Austria's African strategy. In fact, the opposite is true, which means that Franz's Africa plan will be exposed early.
European countries are not fools, and they certainly won't look at the rise of a giant and remain indifferent. Once the hidden strategy is exposed, all European countries will hinder, and the plan will naturally not be implemented.
It is impossible to keep secret forever, but the longer the time delay, the stronger Austria's strength on the mainland. If the Austrian African continent has a population of tens of millions, even if it is strategically exposed, countries will be powerless.
Eliminating threats is important, but there is also a price to pay. Did n’t European countries see the rise of the United States in history?
But what about seeing it? Who will wage war desperately before the crisis reaches everyone's core interests?
War also requires costs, which is well understood by the Tsarist government. First, the Near East War and the Russian-Prussian War, a continental hegemon was almost toppled.
In history, the British did not interfere in the American civil war. Was it really a strategic mistake of the London government?
I'm afraid not. After the failure to form an interference coalition, many people in the London government are worried about falling back into the mire of war.
At this time and space, if it wasn't for Austria's contribution from the beginning, it would have been involved in the American civil war from the beginning, which would have caused both sides to lose each other. It would also use the method of bundling interests to prevent the British from getting off the boat. I am afraid that the London government would still hesitate during armed intervention .
The financial resources of any country are not unlimited. Franz can clearly feel that since the suppression of the Indian rebellion, the British colonial movement abroad has slowed down.
Or, after the end of the Near East War, the colonial expansion of the British slowed down. The French colonial activity on the African continent fell behind Austria, and also had a clear causal relationship with the Near East War.
Everyone's money is not brought by the gale. Having money in the British and French financial circles is not the same as government money.
Maybe they can raise more funds in the war years, but in peace times, government revenues are so much.
Money was spent in the war, and of course it was necessary to cut costs elsewhere.
And overseas colonization is another industry that requires large capital investment. When the government cuts expenditures, it will inevitably be affected.
You ca n’t endlessly borrow to colonize it! Borrowing money also needs to be repaid. In this era, currencies were linked to gold and silver, and there was almost no devaluation, and debt repayment was not so easy.
Therefore, Franz decided to dig a few more pits to consume the financial resources of Britain and France, and they were so active.
Just like the Russians, after the Near East War, they settled for ten years, just recovered a little bit, and encountered the Polish uprising and the Russian-Prussian war.
Needless to say, the Tsarist government should be at ease in the next two decades. During this period, even if they wanted to fight, it was difficult to raise funds for the war.
Franz pointed to the top-secret document on the table and ordered: "Tyron, deploy according to this plan."
Picking up the file, I glanced at the content at first, and Tyron answered blankly, "Yes, Your Majesty."
This is his biggest point, he never questioned, no matter what Franz's order, he will execute the first time.
The current intelligence organization is no longer that loose organization. At present, the intelligence organization is divided into three parts, namely three data statistics studios, which are attached to the National Security Agency, but they are only responsible for Franz.
The first data statistics studio and a bright intelligence organization composed of aristocratic relations networks mainly collect news with a low level of confidentiality, and occasionally guide public opinion.
This is used to attract the attention of the outside world on the bright side, mainly relying on the cooperation of local nobles. Investigate some common problems and occasionally clear the Revolutionary Party.
The latter two studios are the core of the intelligence organization. The business that he is engaged in also includes a wide range: collecting domestic and foreign intelligence, assassinations, creating incidents ...
The second studio focuses on domestic intelligence, and the third studio focuses on overseas intelligence. The scope of business of the two studios is the same, and the overlap of powers is more serious. It also means that they supervise each other.
The chief intelligence officer of Tylen is to coordinate the relationship between the three intelligence studios and implement Franz's order.
This is a practical need, and the confidentiality of intelligence work is very high. Franz dare not treat others as fools. If he directly connects with the three studios, does that not tell everyone that these three studios are independent intelligence organizations?
In order to reduce the sense of existence of intelligence organizations, they only collect information when they are operating in the country. Even if it is a special situation, action must be taken, and it is also placed in the government department.
On the surface, the police are law enforcement in the country, and intelligence organizations have never appeared in the sight of the people.
Ordinary people don't even know that Franz has an intelligence organization, and senior government officials don't know the internal structure of the intelligence organization. When it is external, all three studios are an organization.
